Chapter 1: Day of the Beginning
Aira Harune, that was I. The ordinary girl who lived a wealthy life with her strict father without my mother…
My day began as I got out of bed, stretched, taken a refreshing shower, putting on my glasses, getting dressed and going downstairs.
Once I reached the kitchen, I spotted my father, cooking with his chef's hat on his head.
My dad was always strict with me. I was never allowed to wear my hair down because my dad said it reminded him of my mother. I was never allowed to do anything else besides school related stuff. And worst of all, I was forced to become a baker.
If my mother were alive, she wouldn't let him do that to me and she would let me follow my own dreams. However, she is no longer with us. My mom died of an illness, which turned my father into what he is now.
I let out a sigh and walked calmly and sat down into the kitchen. At first, there was a long silence; however I managed to break it.
"Good morning father." I spoke, silently.
My father turned to look at me, emotionless. "Good morning Aira, did you sleep well?"
"Yes I did. How about you?" I nodded.
"I slept very well thank you." He spoke.
A few seconds later, my dad presented my meal to me. Bacon, eggs, two pieces of toast and some green tea.
"Thank you." I muttered as I bit into my toast.
Of course, my father didn't hear me, so I didn't mind.
"Anyways, where are Itsuki, Eru and Uru?" I asked as I swallowed my tea.
"Your brother and sisters are still asleep in bed. I will wake them up shortly." He coldly responded.
"I see." I looked down at my tea and saw how it moved slowly as I gently stared inside the cup.
After breakfast, I got up and headed out to school for the day. My dad would always remind me to work hard, which I did.
"Work hard, Aira. Remember, your mother would have wanted this."
"Liar…"
"Yes father." I responded.
I shut the front door and walked down the road to school. My school sucked. I was put into St. Marie Academy where students were taught how to make pastries and such. I hated it. I am very good at cooking, but my dad wants me to become a professional, like him.
I despised half of the teachers there though; except for Mrs. Ichigo Amano, who was always very nice and pretty; however she was clumsy sometimes.
As I walked down to school, my bag moved a little and I realized it was my fun-loving friend, Rabbit-Chi who was my only friend. She was so cute and I hid her from my father because he hated 'anything cute'.
"Good Morning Aira-chia!" she shouted, poking her head out of the bag.
"Shh…not so loud Rabbit-chi, and yes, Good morning." I pushed her back in the bag.
"Sorry-chia, but anyways, how are ya?" she asked happily.
"I'm okay thanks, and you?" I smiled back.
"I'm great! I feel hungry though-chia" she rubbed her growling stomach.
"Alright, alright. I'll give you something." I smiled.
I reached into my schoolbag and pulled out a chocolate pockie stick.
"Yummy-chia! Thank you-chia!" Rabbit-chi smiled.
As she munched away, I looked around to all the other students that were walking and chatting with friends as the walked to St. Marie. I felt so lonely because everyone had friends and followed their dreams; however my own father forced me into this.
I've always wanted to become a figure skater in Prism shows. Prism shows are famous in Japan and throughout the world. Americans, Koreans and a lot of other people traveled to Japan just to compete. It was like the Olympics. Everyday after school, I would read my Prism show magazines and I was always caught up on the latest issues. My favorite female skater was Mion Takamine. She is so pretty and her sense of fashion is incredible. But my all time favorite skaters are the Callings and I hate to admit it, but I have a crush on Sho.
Anyways, I reached the school and I sat in class, looking out the window, thinking about my dreams until class began. Mrs. Amano walked in with her chef's outfit and began to teach us how to make French Crepe, which was pretty easy in my opinion compared to my other classmates who complained and panicked when he/she made a mistake. We had to make it for 3 judges, Mr. Makoto Kashino, Mr. Satsuki Hanabasu and Mr. Sennosuke Andou, who were Mrs. Amano's friends and Mr. Kashino was Mrs. Amano's husband.
I just let out a deep sigh and presented my French Crepe to Mrs. Amano, which she applauded to.
"Excellent job Aira Harune! You may present your Crepe to the judges!" she cheerfully stated.
As I walked over, I heard other students whispering and complaining, which left me feeling a chill down my spine.
I presented my Crepe and all three of the judges gave me a score of 100 each. Of course, I showed no emotion as I just bowed and thanked them as my classmates jealously muttered and whispered away.
"Alright! That's all for today class! Have a wonderful day, okay?" Mrs. Amano winked.
"Hai!" everyone shouted.
Half of my classmates left and some stayed for cleanup duty. I sat at my desk, staring out the window, imagining myself skating across an ice rank. Twirling, jumping and performing my first Prism jump.
Suddenly, my visions disappeared as a voice caught me off guard. It was Mrs. Amano who stood there with her head slightly tilted and her index finger pressed on her chin.
"Aira, aren't you going home? Class is over now you know." She spoke.
"Oh yes, I am. Sorry about that." I rose from my chair, bowed and walked out of the classroom.
"Hmm…weird, she never does that…" Mrs. Amano thought.
I walked out the school and ran all the way to the local dancing hall called Pretty Top. All inspiring dancers and skaters went there to pursue their careers. I want to become a Prism star and I have always dreamed of it ever since I was younger. My little brother wants to become one too, so I often teach him some moves secretly while my father is out or if he is busy baking in the kitchen.
Once I arrived, I noticed how many people were lined up, ready to audition to become a Prism star. Every year in November, new aspiring skaters came to Pretty Top to audition and show off their skating skills to become a Prism star.
Suddenly, my train of thoughts stopped as I heard shouting voice from a distance. I turned my head to the direction of the noise and I noticed a girl with long orange hair kicking and shouting at a security guard.
"Let go of me! Let go!" the girl shouted.
She looked like she was in the same grade as me, so she must the same age as me.
"Stop it! Let go!" she shouted.
"No, what you did was unacceptable so we must remove you from Pretty Top." The security guard responded.
"But he started it! That guy called me Orange Swirl! I hate it when people call me names!" she yelled.
Somehow, she released herself from his grasp and did a skating twirl in the air and landed in the crowd of people.
"Hey! Don't let her get away!" the security guard called the two other security guards to chase after the girl.
Suddenly out of nowhere, another set of yelling happened in the other direction of Pretty Top.
"Oh….my….gosh!" I thought. It was the Callings, surrounded by girls who were way prettier than me. Sho was there and he looked so cute in his blue-grey outfit.
As I was looking with my face turning red, a hand grabbed my hand and I realized the orange-haired girl had dragged me into her situation now! What am I to do?
