Nothing. I couldn't think of a single thing to write about. Class had started half an hour ago, the teacher had finished explaining what we were supposed to do 20 minutes ago, and yet, my page was still blank. Not a single thing had come to my mind. I sighed as I placed my pencil back on my desk, right next to the sheet of paper. I looked over at Nathaniel, then down to his page. It was full of writing, not to mention a few adorable little doodles.
I turned away from him and picked up my pencil again. It hovered over my page and my mind went blank. 1 minute passed. 2 minutes, 3, 5, 10…

"Alrighty class, that's the end for today. I expect for you to have a topic chosen and a rough copy started by tomorrow. Now have a nice day!"
I dropped my pencil and glared at my page. Still blank. I sighed. Oh well, just means I have more homework in need of being completed tonight.
I stood up, took my book bag off of the back of my chair, and placed it on my seat. Then threw my pencils in my pencil case, grabbed my binder, and tossed them into the bag. I lifted the bag by the strap and swung it over my shoulder, then started making my way to the music room.
Nobody was in the halls anymore, as they would have all packed up and left the school as soon as the bell rang. I took my time walking, the piano lessons I had only starting in another 20 minutes or so. The walk was quite peaceful, the only sounds that could be heard were my footsteps echoing in the halls. When I finally arrived I walked over to the grand piano sitting in the corner of the room, and after setting my bag next to the bench, I sat down. I trailed my fingers lightly over the keys, then pressed one. A beautiful sound came from the piano, followed by another, and another. I started to play a song, and got so wrapped up in the music that I didn't notice when my instructor walked into the room. Suddenly there was a hand on my shoulder and I screamed. That scream was soon followed by laughter once I realized who it was.
"Don't do that! You scared me!" I cried out while trying to muffle my giggles.
"I'm sorry. Now, let's get started."
My instructors name is Yura Naname. She's from Japan, and is an absolutely fabulous piano player. I've listened to her play many times, and yet it still amazes me how gracefully her fingers travel over the keys. She has a waterfall of black-brown hair that goes down to her mid back. Her skin has no blemishes, and her eyes are gray-blue.
We started off with my favourite song, River Flows Through You, by Yiruma. We made our way through the songs that I had been practicing, before she introduced a new one. Can You Feel The Love. She gave me the music pages and I did my best to follow along. Once the lessons ended an hour and a half later, I packed up my things to leave. After saying goodbye to Yura, I retreated into the hallway and walked towards the entrance of the building. I left the school and started my trek back home.
'Ugh, when I get back it's homework time. Maybe I can fake loosing it… mmm, actually I better not.'
I sighed as I walked, and was about to turn left when I saw a man wearing a red Hawaiian shirt trip and fall onto the road. My eyes widened when I saw a big white truck heading straight for him. I bolted towards the man and pulled him up quickly, then dragged him off of the road. We managed to both get back on the sidewalk right before the truck sped past us. I let out a breath and looked down at the short man.
"Are you alright sir?" I asked him.
"Why yes, thank you miss. Now I must be going."
"Yeah same here. Have a nice day."
"You too."
I turned and started to walk away then glanced back. The old man was gone. I shrugged it off and was about to continue on my way when I noticed I was standing right next to a candy store. 'It couldn't hurt to buy a little something.' I entered the store and looked around. There were so many mouth watering goodies everywhere. I headed over to a little section and spotted a (candy). After picking it up I went over to the cashier. He took the candy from me and scanned it, then placed it in a bag.
"Your total is $1.15."
I handed him the cash, and he gave me the bag. I exited the store, then continued the trek back to my house. It was about a 20 minute walk from here, so I took my phone out and played a few games to keep from becoming bored, making sure to also keep an eye out for cars.
By the time I reached my driveway it was almost 18:00, and it was starting to get dark outside. I ran up my driveway, and entered the big house. I greeted my mom, then headed upstairs to my room. When I got there I dropped the candy on my desk, tossed my book bag to the side, and sat down on my rolling chair. I stared at a wall for a couple minutes before deciding that I really needed to do my homework. After taking it out of my bag, I placed it on the desk. Then I noticed it. A small black box with some sort of bright red symbols decorating the top. I slowly lifted the cover of the box, and a bright white light erupted from it. My arms flew to my face in an attempt to shield myself. When the light started to fade, I peeked out from behind my arms and saw some sort of creature floating in the air. It was white, with a big head and a tiny body. It had bright blue eyes, and three large tan coloured spots on its forehead, along with four small darker ones. On top of its head there were two large ears, and on the back of its small body there was a white and brown tail.
"Hello," it said, "my name in Mimi, and I am your new kwami!"
