Hey everybody! Hi there, everybody! It's Puck and Kyo! And, when it isn't underlined, it's NakabaChan! We've decided to write a fan fiction together! A depressing fan fiction! Just warning you! So, yeah. Here it is. Let's go!
I can remember it very clearly. The sun, beating down hard, the sweat on the foreheads of the men with the shovels. The tears in our eyes- they would fall to the ground and soak into the earth. I used to wonder, " why are they burying daddy?" but now, I know. I wish I didn't- I wish I could go back to a time when this was easy- when I was innocent, and this didn't hurt. When, I truly believed, I would see my dad at the dinner table later that night. But, I never saw him again.
" Hey! Elicia! Wait up!" Anna was calling to me, as she dashed out of her house, bag in hand, and bread hanging out of her mouth.
" Did you sleep through your alarm again?" I asked, a smile creeping across my face.
" Maybe," she said, with a wink, and she skipped right past me, but didn't leave. I laughed, and raced ahead of her.
" Hey!"
" We're gonna be late!"
" Okay, mom," Anna sarcastically replied. We rushed around the corner, and bolted into the brick schoolhouse, just as the warning bell, meaning we had one minute left before class, echoed throughout the hallways. I sighed with relief, and slumped into my seat. Anna waltzed over to a crowd of boys, twirling her hair on her finger. I couldn't help but roll my eyes- that's really Anna for you. Mrs. Sohma stiffly approached her desk, slapping her ruler on the table.
" Sit down, students," she snarled- I never really liked her that much. She wasn't old or anything- she was just sour. She was the kind of pretty that was more scary than beautiful. Still, that never stopped most boys from staring at her during class. I mean, don't they care about personality at all?
" Today, we will be discussing the Ishvalan War," she said, promptly turning around to her chalkboard. My muscles stiffened- hopefully, we wouldn't dive too far into the specifics. I remember he was in the war. I tried to take slow, deep breaths. I closed my eyes and attempted to calm myself.
" Many died needlessly..." the teacher droned on for what seemed like forever, until there was a knock at the door that cut her off. Mrs. Sohma hmphed, and a head popped in the door.
" Excuse me, Mrs. Sohma. I'm sorry to bother you, but can I see Kagura in the office?" Kagura stood up, her face a little red, and walked, silently, out of the room. Anna leaned over to me and said,
" Hey, Elicia. I heard Kagura beat up someone the other day." I shrugged and whispered back,
" Yeah- it was her cousin or something." Mrs. Sohma looked me in the eye,
" Ms. Hughes, Ms. Sun, is there anything you would like to say to the class?" I sheepishly shook my head, beet- red, but Anna just ignored her.
" Back to the war," Mrs. Sohma began, scratching out furious notes on the board. A boy in the back raised his hand high, and Mrs. Sohma gestured for him to speak.
" I think it's really unfair that so many people from that war are still working for the military- how can we trust them? They were so willing to kill, what makes us so sure they won't now? They should be taken care of." There was a tense silence. My stomach dropped, and I curled my hands to squeeze out the feelings welling up inside. I...Just couldn't take it anymore. I stood up, my head down, my chair flying backward, and I ran out of the room.
Okay, everybody. That's the end of chapter 1! Sorry it was so short- we're writing this late at night, and I can't really think straight.
