Chapter 1
I woke, shocked as a clear ringing invaded my mind. In other words my alarm went off on my phone. But I'm so tired. Do I really have to get up? Well I'd better otherwise my mum is going to be mad. Like, Really mad. I get up and look in the mirror. My raven black hair, is like a cluster fuck on my head. I'm tall and slim with no muscle at all. I start with my hair, then go to my clothes. I wear a t-shirt with a blue flannel shirt on top. I wear black jeans with white trainers. Now I'm ready. I grab my phone off my desk and run downstairs. I guess I should explain, my name is Axel Freech. I'm 17 and my family recently moved to Tokyo from England. Well... I say family, what I mean is me and my mum. My dad died 3 months ago and my brother is crazy. But I'm happy living with my mum. Anyway as I go down mum sees me. She is tall and has raven black hair, like me. But she has brown eyes while mine are green and blue. She regards me then sets my breakfast on the table. I wolf it down as I'm starving. She suddenly says "You've got to be in school in 40 minutes."
Wait... 40. Oh no. This is bad.
I leave through the door and instead of taking the stairs down to the pavement, I jump. One thing I learnt in London was how to free-run and get around fast. It is a very useful skill especially in cities. I roughly know my way to school. Unfortunately for me im not looking where I'm going. So to my shock I bump into a man about my age. "Sorry." I utter
"No problem, Dude!" He says. I look up. He has short blonde hair and is of a medium build same as is his height.
"Really?" I ask. If this happened in London I'd run for my life.
"Yeah, it's fine. The names Tori." He replies.
Well he is being unusually friendly. Mum taught me to run from people like this as they are often crazy.
"Hi Tori. I'm Axel." I say. Mostly out of politeness
"Listen, I'm new in the area and I'm lost, do you go to Odaiba High School?" He asks
Oh shit, he goes to the same school as me?
"Yes, Keep up with me and I'll take you there." Then I take off leaping over fences and walls. Yeah, there is no way he can keep up with me. Then I see him easily keeping pace with me. I go faster yet he is easily matching my speed. I can't lose him and we both end up next to the school.
"Well, thanks just out of interest what class are you in?" Tori asks.
"4-B" I reply.
"No way, I'm in 4-B as well!"He says.
Shit. Really. I'm not that upset. He seems like a nice person but I'm not the social type so pushy people like him annoy me.
"Oh, really? I'm so happy!" I try to sound excited but fail.
"Well I'm gonna go get some lunch." Says Tori. Sensing the awkwardness.
"See ya!" I Say
He leaves waving over his back. Thank god. I look around and unexpectedly get a soccer ball in the face. It really hurts, really.
"A-a-are you o-okay?" Asks a timid voice.
I'm about to shout when I see a small girl. She has very long pink hair which reaches her feet. She is small but very well built with muscles. I don't want to get on her bad side if she can kick a ball that hard.
"Dont worry its fine!" I say.
"Are you Sure? I did kick it really hard!" She asks.
Damn straight.
"Na, I'm fine. Hi My names Axel." I say
"Well, my names Laura!" She says in a chipper tone.
"Cool, what class are you in?" I'm actually curious.
"4-B!" She replies.
"Me too." I add
"Wow really, What a..."But Laura is interrupted.
RING!
"Shit, that's the bell." I say
"Time for lessons?" Says Laura
Two hours later I walk outside for lunch. For some reason both Tori and Laura have followed me and we have made semi friends. Anyway we all unpack our lunches and dig in.
"Well, Axel I noticed you don't have a Japanese accent. Where do you come from?" Asks Laura
I was expecting these questions sooner or later.
"I'm from England, we moved in just a little while ago."I answer with a sigh.
"Cool!" Says Tori.
"Yeah, I guess." I say.
"Wait, Don't we need to finish our IT project by Tomorrow?"Asks Laura.
"Yeah, Why?" Asks Tori.
"We could finish it now and be done with it!" Says Laura.
"Nice thinking, Laura!" I compliment.
We make our way to the IT lab and start our project together.
Then we see on the screen a strange icon.
"Click it!" Shouts Laura.
"Here Goes." I say.
Then a blinding light hits us and we get sucked into the computer.
Hope you enjoyed. Been thinking about this one for a while.
