Chapter 1 : The newbie


"Arinaz?"

"Arinaz, wake up."

I woke up hearing a voice call my name. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to get rid of the sleepiness. I lifted my head up to the source of the voice and found a dark-brown-hair girl standing in front of me. She was smiling at me, or at least that's what I think.

"Hey, Arinaz," the same voice from before came, calling my name once again.

I rubbed my eyes as I tried to recognize the girl in front of me. "Lily?"

"Yup. And you are Arinaz, right?"

"Y-yes."

"Welcome to Destiny Island."

"B-but I thought that I was still at the... boat?" I wasn't really done talking, but when I looked around and realized that the boat have arrived, I decided to stop.

She chuckled. "You look tired. Well, that's not unusual after taking a long journey." I smiled sheepishly at her. "C'mon. Let's get going so you can have a rest. Then I'll guide you around the island," she said as she took my travel bag from the chair beside me.

-------------------------

"You can use this room. I know it's quite small comparing to the one in your house, but I only have two bedrooms" she explained when she showed me one of the bedrooms in her house.

"No, no. It's fine," I shook my head, which responded by a smile.

"My room is right beside yours so just tell me if you need anything."

I nodded just before started to yawn.

"Guess you need to take a rest first. I'd better leave," she chuckled as she walked out the room.

"How about the tour?"

"The tour can wait," was all the things she said just before she closed the door.

I decided to lie down on the single bed in the room, trying to relax for a bit. It didn't take long until I fell asleep.

------------------------------

I woke up the next morning. I groaned as I sat up, still on the bed. I got up from my bed and slowly dragged myself towards the bathroom, which then I found right in front of my room.

A nice bath made me feel a lot better. I opened the wardrobe and took out my clothes, a yellow dress which go to my knee. After brushing my hair, I just realized I haven't eaten since yesterday and now I'm starving.

I walked downstairs, hoping to see Lily there. But unfortunately, Lily was nowhere to find. The only thing I found downstairs was an omelet, a bowl of salad, two layers of wheat bread, all wrapped with a cling film, and a jar of paopu fruit jam. Beside it was a note that's written :

Arinaz,

Sorry I'm going first, got something to do. About the tour, come to 'Sandy Smile Cafe' at around 3pm.

Ps : You need to eat. Sorry if the omelet didn't suit your taste. There's a bottle of ice tea in the refrigerator.

Lily

And on the other side of the paper, there was a map made using a black marker.

As I finished the nice, yet too quite breakfast, I spent the hours either watching television, hearing music on the radio, or just reading some books which was on the bookshelf. After a few hours of waiting, I decided to go to the cafe Lily told me earlier. Well, come early won't hurt, will it?

-----------------------------

I stopped a few metres from the small cottage-like cafe and made sure I'm in the right place by looking at both the board on top of the cafe and the note Lily gave me. Yup! Guess this is it. 'Sandy Smile Cafe'. What a unique name.

A sound of a bell ringing and a "welcome" was heard as I opened the classic wodden door. The cafe was empty. The only person I saw was a dark brown hair girl which looks familiar standing behind the counter.

"Lily?" I called unsure.

The cashier, who was reading a book, looked up as soon as she heard me. "Ah. Hey, Arinaz," she said putting her book on the table counter, "You come earlier than I expected."

"I was dead bored. So I decided to come here and wait. But you didn't tell me you're working here."

"Oh. Did I?" she said scratching the back of her head, "Sorry."

"Hey, Lily," a boy's sound heard from the kitchen, "Come here a mi.." He walked out the kitchen and stopped as soon as he saw me. "Oh. Welcome."

"Hey, Cloud," Lily greet the spiky blond boy.

The boy, who Lily calls Cloud, stared at me for a minute. "I think I've never met you before. Are you new?" he asked.

"Let me introduce. Cloud, meet Arinaz. She's just moved yesterday and she's my roommates," she said to Cloud before turned to me, "Arinaz, this is Cloud. He's my manager. He and his girlfriend own this cafe."

"Hi, Arinaz," Cloud said, offering me a shake hand.

"Hey, Cloud. Can I go early? I promised Arinaz a tour around here," Lily asked.

He turned to look at her then at me. He thought for a while before answered, "Well. Since there aren't many costumers I guess that's fine."

"Thanks," she thanked him as she took off the apron she's been using then quickly walked to the kitchen and hanged it up at the coat hanger behind the door.

"Oh yeah. If you pass by the market, go get us some flour, sugar, and milk," Cloud said just when Lily came out.

"Flour, sugar, and milk. Got it," she reppeated, trying to make a note in her head, "C'mon Arinaz."

--------------------------------

"...And here's the supermarket, the 'Half Oblivion'," she pointed at a building which looks like, well, supermarket.. I nodded as a respond to make sure I'm listening to her. "Will you wait a minute? I need to buy the things Cloud told me."

"Okay," I said as I sat down on a bench in front of the supermarket, resting my feet.

"You come?" she asked just before she was about to enter.

"I'll wait here," I motioned at the bench I was sat on.

She shrugged. "Okay then."

Sat down and have a little rest after walking around so much sure is great. At least until I saw a group of four coming. The first one, which looks like the leader, wore a beanie and has a scar across his face. The second boy with a tan skin and muscular body walked behind him. The third is the only girl in that group. She has a silver hair and emotionlessly expression. And another one is a strange-look kid wearing a very strange hat. I looked at them mindlessly but they caught me staring at them.

"What are you looking at, eh?" the benie boy started.

"Yeah. What are you looking at, y'know?" the tanned skin boy repeated.

"Nothing," I said innocently.

"Hey, I've never seen you before," the first one said studying my face and trying to recognize me.

"Yeah. I'm new."

"Newbie," the silver hair girl said monotonously.

"So you new, eh? Then I warn you not to mess up with me, Seifer, the Destiny Island Disciplinary Committee," he added pointing himself full of confidence,"Got it?"

I was about to answer when I heard another boy voice yelling, "Hey. What are you doing?"
