Chapter One: The Game She Plays
It was a sunny day. The world was basking in the sweet solar nutrients. Birds sung out in joy, squirrels stirred from their slumber, and an alarm clock rang at full power in the ear of none other than Katrina Winter. A beautiful morning indeed.
Young Katrina didn't wake at all until her sister pushed her door gently, sending a slight creak sound into the room. Katrina bolted up, completely alert and cautious. She whipped her head twords the noise and only saw her younger sister, all dressed up in her new private school uniform.
"G'mornin' Cindy..." Katrina said drearily, pounding her fist against her alarm clock's 'off' button. She then took notice of the outfit and asked, "That the new uniform?"
Cindy nodded her head vigorously. "Came in yesterday." She answered. Today was the first day of school, and the first day Cindy and Katrina would be going to different schools. "You need to get ready soon. Your school starts in thirty minutes. I'm leaving now." She then said.
That woke her up. She quickly dashed around her room and put together her uniform for school. She wore a red cami underneith a crisp white dress shirt with popping cuffs at the end. She wore a black blazer on top, the cuffs coming over the end of the sleeves. She had a red plaid skirt and white knee high socks with a red ribbon on them. Her shoes were black to match her blazer. She had dirty blonde hair with wild bangs and long hair that was partially pulled into two buns that hung on oppisite sides of her head covered in red cloth. Her eyes were icy blue, only there to completely clash with her uniform, much to her dismay.
Katrina ran downstairs and grabbed her morning toast, stuffing it in her mouth and dashing out the door. She halted to a stop when she heard her older sister's call, "Bag!" Running back, she muttered about how much of a scatterbrain she was. She grabbed her bookbag and continued her run to school.
SPACE
The door to Miss Koko's room slid open with a slam. She jumped in surprise. There stood Katrina, looking frazzled and tired. Miss Koko then chuckled. "You're Katrina Winter, correct?" She asked.
Katrina's gasps for air had subsided and, with her usual straight face on, she nodded slightly at the teacher, taking her seat from last year.
After the bell rang, signaling that anyone who came into school was now late, Miss Koko started the school day. "Today, being the first day of school, we'll take the first few classes to go to an assembly by the Guardians." Katrina naturally took a seat in the back, away from most students, and tried to tune out most of the assembly.
They called all of the Guardians from last year up, and announced that they'll be the same Guardians this year, with possible changes throughout. Katrina smiled (which is very rare for her in school) fondly at the King of the Guardians, Fabian Barrian.
-Flashback-
"You're gonna be part of the Guardians?" Katrina exclaimed happily, questioning her best friend, Fabian. "Thats Amazing!" She then exclaimed.
Fabian then shook his head lightly. "It's really no big deal." He said, "I just wished really hard, ya' know?"
"No way!" She exclaimed, "You're a model student! It was definitely your grades! No way I can compete with that!"
Fabian then smiled again, but something was a bit different about this smile. This smile masked a bit of sadness. What for, Katrina never knew.
-Flashback End-
That was a long time ago though. Around second or third grade. They had drifted far apart since then, leaving Katrina the silent school girl she is. Fabian had become obsessed with his duties as the King, and most of the time, Katrina couldn't have ever kept up with him.
Katrina only allowed her smile to stay there for a moment, and went straight back to her expressionless face. On the inside, though, she wished Fabian would cast her a glance at least once, to show that they were still slight friends. After all, they were best friends not even two years ago.
By the end of the assembly, Katrina was in her own world. She had to have a few different passing students call to her to try and get her out of her daydream. It surprised everyone when none other than the King came over and stood in front of her indifferently. He calmly ran his fingernail across the metal foldable chair she was sitting in, creating a slight scratching noise. Katrina came back to Earth immediately, and the passing by students all applauded the King as he walked off calmly. Katrina walked away, not caring about the stares she recived from the students.
The rest of the day passed quickly, and it wasn't long until Katrina arrived home. Late, as usual. She spent the day upstairs in her room until dinner, and after dinner, upstairs again. When it was finally time for bed, she laid there for a long time.
Eventually, though, she flopped onto her stomach and let her emotions overflow. She was happy, because of Fabian noticing her a bit today, but upset, because she got noticed for her stupidity. She practicly fell asleep during the assembly! Completely embarrassing! And to top it all off, she walked off like a coward afterwards!
It was then that she felt hot tears running down her face. She desperately wiped them away, But softly whispered, "I wish I was different. I wish I was brave!" And through her tears and whispers of the night, she fell asleep at some point.
THE NEXT MORNING
Katrina had woken up early. She went through her morning routine without the running around and franticity. She had decided that, with her extra time, she would make her bed. In a slight daze, she took no notice at all of the two eggs sitting on her mattress as she stripped the bed.
One egg was light blue with a lacy gold pattern. The other was a maroon color with the same pattern, only silver.
It wasn't until Katrina brought back another set of sheets that she noticed the two strange eggs sitting atop her bed. In confusion, she examined them closely. They felt warm to the touch, as if they would hatch soon. Confused further, Katrina figured to put them in her school bag, wrapped in a blanket to keep warm, just so she could see what may or may not hatch from it.
So tell me how you guys are feeling. Good? Bad? Hate it? Love it?
Wrote this whilst listening to 'Wish You Were Here' by Hey Monday.
This is planned to go at least 20 chapters! Lets hope Katrina stays alive that long!
What do these two eggs bring for her? What might I do to shake these up a bit? Find out next week (Or tomorrow) on My Shugo Chara Story!
