Chapter 1 : A New Journey [[新たなる旅立ち]]
[Lilia POV]
I am Lilia, a 15 year old student of Serenity Academy. I always go to school using a bike, which I have been using ever since I entered 7th Grade.
(Stops the bike after seeing an orange kitten walking on the street; she goes down to the ground and picks it up.)
"Why are you all alone?" I asked, and then I put the kitten in the metal basket in front of the handlebar. "You'll be safer there," I muttered,"Rather than wandering all alone on the streets." I began stroking the cute little kitten at its back, and then I rode the bike and continued my way to school.
(Takes a sharp turn after passing 3 alleys; starts walking towards the entrance while holding the handlebar of her bike)
When I entered, the guard took notice of the kitten in the bike's metal basket.
"Hey, you," said the guard, slightly getting my attention, "You know that animals are forbidden here, right?" he asked.
"Ah-uhm… I have to bring this kitten with me since I only saw her all alone on the street just this morning," I reasoned, "But I promise- I won't bring the kitten in the building." My reply seemed to please the worrisome guard.
"Then, you put your bike to the parking space and I'll take the kitten to the watch house," said the guard. He carried the kitten and nudged it to his arms whereas I went to the parking space and fastened my bike to the metal railings. When I went back the guard was gone, and I headed to the main building where the shoe lockers were. Mine is the one four lockers away from the nearest one to the entrance and 3 lockers down if you count if from the top. I quickly opened my locker and removed my shoes. Once I got my white shoes worn, a familiar voice greeted:
"Ohayou, Lilia-chan ^^"
"Oh, Luna-chan!" I exclaimed, "Ohayou desu," I greeted back, smiling at her and closing my locker.
"Have you heard of the news?" asked Luna, who seems to be so excited.
"What news?" I asked.
"Well," she started, "STA*'s going to have an Idol Camp!" she exclaimed.
"An Idol Camp?" I asked again.
"But to get to the camp, we have to have a letter sent by the STA and we also have to do a MV." said Luna.
"You mean this?" I asked, pulling out the parchment letter from my bag. She reached for the letter and saw the STA's logo embossed on the thick parchment.
"OMG!" she exclaimed, claiming attention from some of the student's who are still at the corridor.
"How did you get this?" asked Luna in a hushed voice.
"I just found it in our mailbox - so I decided to keep it and show to you too and Krystal-san" I replied.
"Krystal will surely love this..." muttered Luna, then another familiar face spoke.
"What's that?" It was Krystal ~ ^^
"Oh, Krystal-san ~ Ohayou ~" I greeted, then Luna faced Krystal.
"Look, Lilia's been sent by the STA !" exclaimed Luna, claiming another round of attention which was quietly dismissed. Krystal asked for the letter and Luna gave it to her with a beam of excitement in her eyes. Krystal's eyes widened as she read until the bottom of the letter.
"This is really it!" she exclaimed in a hushed voice, "I think we should be planning on the MV now..."
"Well, let's just discuss things in our free period." said Luna, then the school bell rang, a signal that all students should be going now to their respective rooms. Luckily, I, Luna and Krystal belong to the same class.
[Time Skip - 9:30 A.M. Rooftop]
"Well then, let's decide with what should we do in the MV ~" said Luna, taking a bite from her ham sandwich.
"Hm... since the schedule of the Idol Camp is at summer vacation..." muttered Krystal, "Why don't we make a summer MV?"
