Chapter 1
It was a dark and stormy night. Well,that was before I left Osaka. As of now,I'm actually fluent in English. That's how I'm writing. Because,I used to only speak Japanese from my home Osaka. Anyway,my story starts after I left Osaka. After the war in Osaka,I was wanted because I had killed my parents. I traveled to a place where the Mobians like me live. Called Mobius. It was peaceful and all but I was forced to go to school. That was very hard since a parent had to register me. I made it work out though. My first week of school had worked out nicely but some things started to happen. It all started when I entered my first class of the day. "Class,this is Claire The Hedgehog. Please give her a warm welcome here." The teacher said to the class. I waved,wrote my name,the best I could at least. My American spelling was okay but there was work to be done. I wrote my name in Japanese and wrote the translation. My Japanese name actually translates to Rose. But I like the name Claire better. It suites me far more. Well,it's more of a name for grace but,I am a graceful swordfighter. Within my first week I had already started liking school. I have a sword fighting class and I was SO excited! The teacher started instructing us on how to handle a sword. She asked for a volunteer to demonstrate the moves. Luckily,that was my only English I knew besides simple phrases. I raised my hand. "Yes Claire?" The coach asked. I walked up with my sword and demonstrated. "Right Foot. Left Foot. And move quickly." I said. "Very good!" The coach smiled. But of course,that made every kid jealous of me. Then when there's jealousy,there's envy,and then there's an attack against me. But no one found out about my little secret. Okay,it wasn't LITTLE but it was a secret. I've always wanted to be a singer. I'm really good but record companies never had accepted my songs. Probably because they weren't great enough. Or my singing sounded like a dog trying to mate. But I am a really great cover artist. Lucky for me,we had music class. Our first assignment was to think of a song and sing it to the class. So,I did one of my favorite songs. Kaze Mo,Sora Mo,Kitto from Sailor Moon. As it was almost my turn, I sat there. Slowly practicing in my head. It was my turn. I stood up in front of the class. But surprise,the wrong song came on. Instead of asking for a change,I just sang along. It was Potential Breakup Song by Aly and Aj. It wasn't that hard. I was singing and dancing and everyone was amazed. "Soon you will know,You're not livin till you're living with me~! This is the Potential breakup song~! Our album needs just one. Obey the peace,please tell me!" I started singing. I had the best performance out of the class. Well, I did until a more popular kid won. They only won because the class voted. I was in second place just by ONE vote. I bet if I did Again by Yui I would have won. Anyway,within my second week of school that's when everyone started acting like a bunch of 5 year olds. As I sat at lunch some kid threw applesauce at me. Of course,I only knew SMALL English. So I couldn't yell at him. I just wiped it off my shirt and threw my milk carton at him. That's when a food fight started and I just walked out to go to the bathroom. I brushed out the apple sauce from my quills,well hair I guess,and tied it back up. Next time that kid comes at me,I'm gonna freaking kill him. Anyway,the rest of the year I was used to how the school worked and relieved when I finally got to summer vacation. I barely made friends but who cares. Finally you'll get some actual dialog since by my second year, I was actually able to speak English.
