(A/N) I had published this on here sometime last year, but then I deleted it because it really needed some work. But I'm finally happy with it.
This isn't meant to be taken seriously at all, so just enjoy it if at all possible :)
BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEEEEE-
"SHUT UP!" I screamed sleepily at my alarm clock. I brought my fist down hard on the alarm clock. It stopped making noise when I smashed it, and little pieces of red and black plastic went flying.
"…whoops." I giggled, looking at the destroyed alarm which was now decorating my bedroom floor. "Guess I should get up now."
I got out of bed, pulled some clothes out of the closet (some destroyed neon green skinnies and an Akatsuki t-shit) and dragged myself into the bathroom to shower. I was done in five minutes because I already washed my hair the night before. I always take my showers at night because otherwise I'd have to wash my hair in the morning and that takes too long.
I got dressed and washed my face and brushed my hair. I made a face as I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair is so long. And brown. I need to cut it. It is very brown. I ran the brush through the ends again. Then I put it up in a high ponytail with the bangs in my face, and I looked just like Deidara from Naruto. Then I ran downstairs. I took my backpack off the hook by the door, and ran out of the house.
I don't usually eat breakfast. I actually don't really eat at all during the day. I'm not anorexic or anything, I'm just never hungry. Everyone says that's why I'm so skinny.
"I'm gonna be late!" I screamed.
My neighbor yelled at me to be quiet because his kids were sleeping or something, but I was already too far away to hear him.
I got to my bus stop right as soon as the bus got there. I sighed relieved and got on the bus. I sat down in the back next to my BFF Yuki. Yuki is the kawaii-est (I don't care if that's not a real word) girl I know. She has silky shoulder-length black hair that's always perfectly straight. Her skin is really clear and smooth and she has big, pretty dark eyes that always give away her emotions. She looks just like an anime character if you ask me.
"Hi Yuki-chan!" I said happily. Look, I'm not one of those weirdos who talks in random Japanese, Yuki is from Japan so she feels more comfortable talking in Japanese. Okay? Good.
"Konichiwa, Aailyah-chan!" she greeted me. "I brought you some more pocky since you like it so much." She pulled the box of delicious sugary heaven out of her backpack.
"POCKY!" I squealed, taking it from her and ripping it open. "Arigoto gozaimasu!" (That means thank you very much by the way.)
Yuki giggled at my excitement. "Dou itashimashite, Aailyah-chan. By the way, did you study for the math test today?"
I froze in mid-chew. Did she say…test?
OH NO.
"Oh no…" I sighed, dropping my head. "I forgot all about it. And geometry is my worst subject, too…" Then I brightened up again. "Oh well, I guess I'll just skip then!"
I knew my math teacher wouldn't care. He never got me in trouble, even that one time when I put a frog in his coffee.
"Haha, just be sure you don't get caught! Your parents will be very angry, won't they?" she asked anxiously.
I shrugged. "Oh, they won't catch me. They haven't yet…and as for my parents, I really don't give a fuck if they're pissed or not." My parents are always mad at me for something or another; it doesn't really make a difference what for anymore…
"Would you two like to get off the bus, or were you planning to sit here all day?" the bus driver yelled angrily at us.
I looked out the window. The crowds of teenagers told me we were at school.
"Kuso!" I swore under my breath.
Yuki snorted.
We got up and exited the bus.
"Sorry..." I apologized sheepishly as we passed. The bus driver just grunted. When I went passed, I could feel his creepy stare on me and Yuki. Yuki could feel it too because she crossed her arms over her chest uncomfortably.
"Pervert!" I yelled at him when we were off the bus. He shut the door and drove away, leaving us in a cloud of smoke.
"He was totally looking at your boobs, Aailyah." Yuki was so mad she didn't even use her normal affectionate suffix.
I frowned. Not that I was complaining, but sometimes it really sucked to have a naturally large chest area. "Kami, why did you create me so well-endowed?" I shouted mournfully to the sky. A couple of the annoying popular girls glared at me, so I gave them the finger. In my mind, at least.
Yuki patted my back kindly. "It's okay, Aailyah. Just get another sweatshirt out of your locker to cover up."
I pouted. "I wish I didn't have to. I want to show off my new Akatsuki shirt today." It's so cool; it has all of the Akatsuki standing on it.
She nodded understandingly. "It's either that, or having all the creeps in the school staring at your boobs."
"Oh, I guess you're right…" I agreed grudgingly.
She smiled and we hooked arms and skipped into the school. We went right to my locker which is in the back of the building by the science wing. Our other friends were waiting for us.
There was Sara-chan, a tall girl with long, wavy blonde hair and startling blue eyes. Next to her, arms crossed in a huff, was Lexy-kun, a short, pixie-ish girl with short hair dyed blood red. Finally there was Astra-sama (that's just what we call her; she won't tell us her real name.) She has long, dark brown hair that reached her butt and piercing green eyes.
"Hey guys!" I called, glomping all of them excitedly. Sara jumped up and down hugging me and squealing, but none of the others were so responsive. Lexy shoved me off of her with a "hmph, freak," and Astra just stood there like a rock until I released her.
Yuki shook her head at my behavior. I glomped her too. She glomped me back, until a teacher came over and yelled at us for PDA.
"No touching at school!" Mr. Guffin yelled at us.
We pouted.
"Baka!" I muttered.
We all giggled. (Except for Astra, who just stood there, and Lexy, who was saying meaner things.)
Then the bell for first hour rang.
"Aw. I don't wanna go to class…" Sara complained.
Astra shook her head. "Come on."
"Nooooo!" Sara screeched. "I don't wanna! I'm scared of Ms. McLaughlin! And I didn't do my homework! My foot hurts! I have a bad knee! I need an aspirin! I should visit the nurse! I—umph!" Astra clamped a hand over the blonde girl's mouth, and proceeded to drag her away.
"Such an idiot," Lexy scoffed, rolling her eyes. Me and Yuki just stared after Astra and the still-struggling Sara, who was becoming quite an obstacle to the rest of the students. "Although…I don't really feel like going to class myself."
"So, skip," I suggested. "That's what I'm doing." Maybe we could rescue Astra and Sara, and we could all go somewhere fun! Like the new comic book store downtown! Yes!
"I wish…but if I miss any more school I'll be held back again," she frowned. "I refuse to be in the tenth grade again, with all the retarded freshmen."
"Oh, I see," Yuki said understandingly.
"Aw…that sucks," I agreed. "Well; I'll see you tomorrow then. I'm leaving before first hour; I can't take that math test." I shook off the thought of the test.
Lexy stared at me like I was dumb. "Why did you even bother coming?"
"I dunno." I chuckled, rubbing the back of my head.
Yuki snorted. "Well, you better get going then, or you're definitely going to get caught."
I stared at her. "You mean you're not coming with me?"
She shook her head sadly. "Sorry, but I actually have to take that test. My parents won't allow me to miss it."
Oh. Asian parents really were strict. Yuki's parents don't even let her watch T.V. on school nights.
"Okay…I guess I'll see you after school. You're still coming over, right?"
She nodded. "Unless I fail, anyway."
"You won't fail. You're too smart," I assured her. She has a 99 GPA and got a 2100 on her SATs, when most people in our grade hadn't even bothered taking the test yet. I was having none of her "what if I fail?" bullshit. That girl would make this standardized test her bitch, as usual.
She blushed. "Arigato…"
I glomped her again. She was too cute!
Lexy made an irritated sound. "As much as I'd love to stick around and watch the love-fest, I have some work to slack off on. I'm out." She turned on her heel and skulked down the hall.
"Bye, Lexy-kun!" I chirped.
"Later, losers." She flipped us the bird as she walked away.
"She is so callous," Yuki said affectionately. I nodded my agreement.
"Well, I'll see you later Aailyah-chan." Yuki hugged me, and headed towards her class room.
"Bye, Yuki-chan!" I grinned and waved at her.
Man, I need to pee, I thought suddenly. I figured it'd be best to go here instead of trying to make it home first. I went into the nearest girl's room, and peed. When I was washing my hands, I noticed something strange.
There was something stuck on top of the mirror.
Huh, I wonder what that is…
I reached up to get it, but I was too short. I cursed my genes, and climbed up onto the sink to grab the object.
Woah! What is this? I wondered as I looked at it. It was some sort of necklace. It had a long, delicate silver chain with a pendant hanging from it. The pendant was a blue sphere with flecks of silver in it. The sphere was being held by a dragon in its mouth.
This is really cool looking! I wonder why someone just left it here.
I shrugged, and put it on. Suddenly, a bright blue light exploded from the necklace. I felt a tugging coming from it, and it felt like it was sticking to my chest. Freaking out, I tried to yank it off, only to find that it was somehow attached to me. The light meanwhile was centering together in front of me and now resembled a person.
Then the figure spoke. "Aailyah Patterson. You are the guardian of the Stone of Souls. This is-"
"No! I don't wanna be! Please, take it back!" I cried in horror.
If a blob of blue light could look puzzled, this one certainly did. "But…you already are the Guardian…you were just separated from the Stone many years ago. Now that you've been reunited, your powers can be restored."
I stared at him open-mouthed. What? "What powers?"
"Guardian Powers," he answered simply. "Anyway, since you've probably forgotten, I'll explain the Stone to you. The Stone holds your soul. If it breaks and becomes exposed to the forces of this world, your powers will multiply and you'll most likely destroy the universe." There was a pause, and then, "You're far too weak to be a Guardian," he scoffed.
"If I'm so weak, then why do I have this thing in the first place?"
"I don't know, and it's not my problem."
Rude much?
"O-okay…"
"I'm sending you to another dimension, because it'll be easier for you to get a grip on your powers there. And less likely that you'll destroy this universe, because I like it. Any questions?"
"Uh, YES,-"
He cleared his throat. "That's a shame."
He chanted something foreign, and I felt my whole body being sucked through the portal he'd opened. I screamed, but then the pressure was so much that I couldn't even breathe. Then, everything was black.
The last thought that went through my mind was, "When the hell did my life become an anime?"
(A/N) This isn't the type of thing I normally write, but I still really really loved writing it idk.
Thanks for reading :)
