Chapter 1 – Strange can't get any stranger, or so i think!

Rei POV

Birds singing their lovely happy songs, my mother whistling in the shower, my father talking loudly about a business meeting that went partially wrong, me looking strangely at a purple shaped egg. Yeah! Everything is normal!

Except that miss Reiko Hiyashi, heir of the Hiyashi corporation and the whole noble tradition just laid an egg, her first to be precise at the age of 12, in her own bed, before she wished on a star. Yes, well, this day can't get any weirder.

I really thought that I was a sane and a normal person, not some lunatic that can't even wake up properly because of some funny dream about an egg. And not just any egg, but one made entirely by me. If I had any siblings and some parents with a sense of humor that would consider that work and ethics aren't the only things in life, then I could blame this either on them or on that happy-go-lucky brother or sister. But I am an only child with proud and well-mannered parents that keep the Hiyashi tradition to it's very core without thinking about my wishes.

But I could never tell them that, nor could I ever complain about this problem. I wasn't raised like this. Though I often think that this is not the life for me.

I sight, being the only sane thing I can do at the moment, and shift in my bed, ignoring the slight lump next to me and close my eyes. It's morning, I'm dreaming weird stuff and to top it all, today I'm changing schools. Yes! This the big news of the day, ladies and gentleman! Reiko, the hard working and rigid young girl that was raised with stone-carved rules is going to enroll in Seiyo Elementary.

Oh, I just can't wait! Note the sarcasm please.

"You shouldn't over sleep, young miss!"

Oh, goody! My personal servant is bickering in my room, pulling the curtains away from the windows. If I didn't know what my own parents were expecting of me, I would have ignored him and just kept of sleeping, knowing that the small lump between my legs was just a dream. But, of course, this is the reality I live in, and the strange thing that came to me in my sleep just... well, for starters, it didn't disappear.

"Yes, yes! I know!" I barely answered, getting out of bed, hiding the small egg shaped thing in my long night dress.

I smiled politely and waited for the servant to just go away so I could change into my new uniform and then vanish from this God forsaken house and off to school. Not that I would change my behavior when I got there, but the thought was nice enough. When he finally got out of my room to attend to something that my mother send to him, I quickly undressed and changed whatever I had to change and took a small peak at my 'dreams' that I kept under my bed, grabbed the small purple egg – now that I recall, thinking back on it, has black shaped ribbons all over it – and off to school I go.

"God I wish it was different. This is not the life I wish I had, but I can't do anything else" I mutter under my breath, speaking to the egg as if the thing inside could hear me.

I sigh again and look at the road, the only thing that plays in my mind would be the roar of a crowd that sings my name as I wave a tennis racket at them. And that warms my soul to no end. AH, what a wonderful dream. I slowly made my way to the school on the top of the hill.

Everyone POV:

The day really was a beautiful day, with a clear blue sky, singing birds, kids laughing all around, and fun being spelled in bold letters. The only thing that wasn't so amusing to the young girl that just changed schools was the new environment, that she knew nothing about. Sure, her parents told her all the benefits of going to a well-known school, plus, she being that smart would just heighten her record, but she knew nothing about the kids that went there, nor about the teachers or what they seek in children. But, overall, it was good. The feeling that is. It was pleasant and she liked the atmosphere a lot more than the one at her old school. Her old school were filled with kids like her, they had everything to their heart's content. It was a stupid competition. All those shallow kids not having any value to anything, true that's what people thought of her too she knew that. However the girl wanted to make a new personality here. She knew it was going to make it difficult, her family was well-known. The girl walked through the gates silently. Many kids turned and looked at the new girl.

REI'S POV

I walked through the courtyard of the school. Silent, not saying a word as I walked looking forward not fazed by the pointing and whispering. 'Why me…I'm not that different from everyone…well I guess that "dream" egg makes me less normal…'I thought to myself. I let out a soft sigh. I knew this was going to be a VERY long day. I walked past all the whispering kids and look, feeling the slight pain in my heart, at the tennis court. This school really did have everything. I only wish I could make my dream come true and play on a team. I knew it was out of the question. I let out a sigh of discontent. I wished that I could be something other than a child of tradition, like that was ever going to happen. My life is written out already for me…I want to break free. I hear a sound of a bell, the feelings and thoughts disappearing into nothing. I better find the principal. I want to start my day so I can end it.
