Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own nothing than my OC and changes that may happen in the story. Everything else belongs to Akira Amano.

Dying shouldn't be painful, it should be swift and merciful. At least it should be instant, that was what she thought. Jennifer Austin Summers, that was her name. She was-is a 17 year old, she is going to be in her final year of high school in just 2 months. She should've have had a normal peaceful life, where her only worries should be about grades and trying to get into a good university.

But she was never that lucky.

Dammit... Damn it all...

Her parents were always busy, all day long they would be on their phone, talking to business partners. Even on holidays, they would always be on their phone. Never enjoying it with their children.

Of all the people in this damn town, did it really have to be me?

Shit. Fuck...

She was never on good terms with her brother. They were opposites, with completely different morals and opinions. What she likes, he would hate, and vice versa. The only times they ever got along was after he left to college, and even then they never talk to each other unless forced.

I still want to live, I still have things to do.

It hurts...

She wasn't popular at schools. She had a group of friends, but was only close with two people. Even then, one of them moved school and she lost contact. She rarely came to school, thus gaining the title 'phantom'. She gets injured and sick so often, that both teachers and students are more surprised if she were to arrive at school and not go to the clinic for the entire day.

Jennifer let out a groan as she tries to focus. Laying on the bed, with doctors operating on her, trying to keep her concious, because she wants to live. She's not going to die without a fight, after all.

It fucking hurts

It should've have been a normal day.

"Look Jennifer, you have above average grades in most of your subjects, and really high grades in math, english, art in particular," a middle age woman said. She was Jennifer's class teacher, who called her after school due to certain problems. "But that does not excuse the fact that the total absence you took this year is over a month."

"C'mon teach, as long as my grades are good, it shouldn't matter much right?" The 'it doesn't matter if I actually go to school' left unsaid, but both knew it was the main problem of this whole discussion.

"Look Jennifer, you're a bright student," she replied after a moment. "Even though you're as lazy as they come" she said softly, but Jennifer heard it anyways. "However, our school has a policy that students' number of absence must be equal or less than 10% of the school year, you have reached more than that. "

Jennifer was known for a couple of different reasons. First and foremost, she is known as 'the girl from class A that rarely came to school'. She is also known for different reasons too, such as: 'the girl that keeps getting injured', 'the kid that somehow got good grades and manage to pass exams without studying', and 'the girl that had to use crutches one time because of basketball'.

She was... famous so to speak.

It wasn't like Jennifer hated school, in fact there are a lot of times where she would go even though she was sick. There are even times where she preferred going to school than staying in a quiet house. It's just that she tends to lose motivation, especially since she manage to get by school without studying. Because of that, she finds studying useless and prefers to just analyze and solve school exams using logic instead of learning. Sure, it doesn't help her pass all of her exams- some subject like economics and geography used to be some of her worst subjects, thankfully she doesn't take those subjects anymore- but she never cared much about school anyways. As long as she pass, that's what her parents would often say.

"But Ms! I'm getting good scores and I haven't miss a single day since two weeks ago!" She argued, feigning worry.

"I know, however your number of absence is still worrisome. If this keeps up, you will have to repeat the grade-"

"Wait, 'if this keeps up?'"

"-But, we have decided that due to your rather... unique medical records, we will let you off the hook this time and you'll still pass. However, if next year your number of absence even reaches 5%, then you won't graduate no matter how good your grades are. Understand?"

She blinked at the news and nodded easily, looking as if she doesn't care even a tiny bit. Even as she was dismissed and left the teacher's room, she didn't look panicked or worried a single bit. As if she wasn't just told that she would fail the grade.

Truthfully, she didn't care. The art university she applied in only sees their future students' portfolio, so she's not too worried about failing. Not to mention she's been accepted there too.

'But failing my final year just because I got too lazy to come would definitely earn me a lecture from mom,' she thought with a smirk as she walked through the hallways and to her locker.

"Hey devil's spawn, what got you all smiling like that?" She turned her head to the left and saw a girl with short black hair. She was her age, and they were of the same build. She was Jennifer's best friend, someone she considered family more than her biological one. She is the person Jennifer talks to most, even more than her family.

She's honestly not that smart, however she works hard and the results show. While Jennifer is someone who over-analyze and over-thinks stuff, she prefers to solve problems simply. While Jennifer is too calm in every and all situation, she will force her to worry. When Jennifer gets good scores even though she never even opened her book, she will chase her around shouting how unfair it was because she 'worked the goddamn ass off to get good scores in math, while you just sleep around all day'.

She was the opposite to Jennifer, someone who Jennifer looks up to. She was an asshole, stupid, couldn't make a lie to save her life, and honestly too much of a sports addict for Jennifer. But that's why she likes her so goddamn much.

"Well witch," Jennifer started, "Since this asshole right here decided to get sick and miss school for a couple of days-"

"You mean a month?"

"-the school's worried that I'm not going to graduate."

"Even though your grades are above average?"

"Yup."

"Did they contact your parents?"

"Yeah but you know them-"

"As long as you pass, you can do whatever hell you want. Within legal reasons," she finished, rolling her eyes. She always did find it unfair that Jennifer's parents were so laidback about everything and gave Jennifer freedom as long as it's not illegal or dangerous. Her parents were very strict after all.

"Well, you do kind of deserve it…"

"So mean!" Jennifer pouted.

"Ugh, stop that. It's disgusting…"

Jennifer just shrugged it off, and sat down on the ground in front of the lockers. Her friend sat beside her. This was something they do often, sitting in front of the lockers after school and talk about nothing and everything.

"I still can't believe you're not even worried in the slightest, seriously! There has to be a limit at how calm you are!"

"Look, I just have to make sure that I don't miss school for more than a couple of days and I'll be good. I mean, how hard can it be?"

"For you? Impossible," her friend snorted. The mere thought of Jennifer going to school without skipping or getting sick is something amusing in her eyes.

Jennifer rolled her eyes at the comment. Sighing before breaking into a cheeky grin and elbowing her friend, "Let's forget about that! We need to discuss that!"

"Well... I haven't actually asked my parents so..."

"Geez you're worthless!" Jennifer sighed exaggeratedly, stretching and leaning into the lockers. "Seriously, I'm already accepted into the school! You haven't even asked your parents?!"

"You know how my parents are," her friend started, "they want me to study business, only when I'm finished with that will they allow me to go to an art school."

"Bullshit! Your talent is in art, you should be able to choose whatever hell you want!" Jennifer blurted out, causing her friend to smile.

"I know! How about you run away, get a student loan- or try to get a scholarship- then we can go there together. Heck, I'll even pay for the apartment!"

And there goes that smile. Jennifer may be bright, but her emotional capacity is even less than a goldfish. Not to mention some of the things that came out of her mouth are things that get them into trouble loads of times.

There was also that crocodile tears incident… She still couldn't believe that Jennifer was capable of doing that… that snake….

"The fact that you even say those stupid things astound me, what makes you think I'll be able to do those stuff anyways?"

"Look, just make it happen," Jennifer stated, "We promised to each other that we'll get an apartment together, go to school together, finish school and make our own game company, and live happily ever after remember?"

"You do know that those words made everyone think we're dating right?"

"...shut up..."

Things after that became a blur to Jennifer, she remembers staying for a while, and had to go home. But on the way home, she got into a car accident and the rest is a huge blank for her. What happened to her driver? Are her family outside? Did her friends hear about it? Does she know about it? What. The. Hell. Happened?

As she tries to remember, the voices started to sound more distant, more black spots started to appear in her vision. It was getting harder to focus.

No... I won't die...

As she starts to think this, she feels something growing in her.

Like hell am I gonna die here

I'm going to live dammit

I'm going to go to that damn school

The feeling grew as she starts to lose focus.

I'm... going to fucking live a peaceful life...

I'm...

Going to die...

The sudden realization hit her, her eyes grew wide and a sinking feeling in her stomach and crawling to her chest.

I'm going to die... I'm going to die? I'm going to die, like hell I'm going to die. I'm not going to die here, I can't die here! There's still so much things I never tried! I'm not going to die like this!-

"The patient...Hypovolemicshock... get the..." the voices become much more distant, and she couldn't focus on anything.

She was going to die.

-I'm going to fucking live! If some being up there thinks I'm gonna die like this well they're wrong! Fuck it! Why me?! Fuck this!

As soon as she thought of that, she saw a flame appeared in front of her. Trying to do anything just to live, she tried lifting her arms.

Only for her to not be able to move it.

Fuck all of this...

Uh… yeah…. To be completely honest this is just some random story that I came up while I was bored during my holidays ^^"…. I decided to post it since I might as well post it…

This will actually follow the manga, so anime only arcs won't be here. Some events in the arc would be changed, so I'll try my best to think up different strategies and different ways to defeat the enemies- so forgive me if it takes a while to update, since I will need to reread the manga.

1. For those wondering what Hypovolemic shock is, it's a life-threatening condition that occurs when someone lose more than one-fifth of their body's blood (and fluid supply if I'm not mistaken…). This shock makes it impossible for the heart to pump enough amount of blood, thus leading to organ failure. I actually spent a lot of time in the hospital and I used to read a lot of medical books, so I do have some medical knowledge.

2. I'm actually in the IB diploma program. I wanted to put in some of the things from IB program (like TOK and CAS for those that know of the program), but I decided that I'd rather not. However, my school only allows students who are in the IB program to choose whatever subjects they want (normally it depends on the programs the students choose. There are three programs), so I decided to put that in this. I do actually get really good grades for someone that rarely comes to school (something frustrates everyone), and my teachers really did call me a number of times because of my absences….

3. I know in future chapters, it may seem as if my 'OC' seems to know a lot of 'random' stuff, such as knowing how to make basic sentences in French and Dutch. Also knowing Indonesian, and a little bit of Japanese. But these are all the languages I know in real life (again, there are for CAS). It's also the same with knowing the basics to a lot of martial arts (I do take a lot of martial arts for CAS, though I only know the basics at most…). As for music, I do know how to play the violin, guitar and ocarina. So these are the skills I could list of on the top of my head.
