Hi guys! I made this new story because I was overflowing with inspiration and if I didn't write it down I would squeal like a crazy fangirl (my weird habit when I'm really excited) Well I personally think it won't be that bad a story but I might screw it up later, I just hope I won't. Y'know, sometimes I wonder if someone actually reads these A/N's at the beginning and end of the story… Ah well, let's just start typin'!
Amu's POV
I awakened from my slumber on my big and fluffy king-size bed with hot pink sheets and a lot of unnecessary pillows.
"Good morning, Amu-sama" My maid Ran greeted me. "Ran I told you to stop being so formal you're practically my sister" I yawned getting out of my bed and hugged Ran. "Amu-chan, I love you like a sister too, but I'm on duty so right now I'm just a maid" She sighed.
"Fine, fine so what's it today?" I asked. "I already put your stuff in the shower, Miki put together a lovely outfit for you, Su has prepared a delicious and healthy breakfast for you and Dia has prepared this schedule for you" Ran explained handing me a paper with today's classes on it.
You see, Ran is my personal maid, Miki is a fashion designer and she's artist, Su is our chef cook and Dia is my tutor since I'm homeschooled.
"What about you Ran?" I asked. "Well the usual, cleaning your room making sure you do everything you're supposed to do and also making sure you don't try to sneak out of the house" She said. "Ah, how boring it's always the same" I sighed.
"Well, Amu you're the lucky one you get everything handed to you and live in a freaking mansion" Ran told me. "Yes, yes I'm the luckiest girl in the world being the heir of the Humpty Association and all, and getting special education and luxurious stuff a normal 16 year old could ever afford" I smiled, pretending to be oh so happy with everything I have.
When in reality I'm miserable, think about I've never been allowed to play outside like normal kids the only outside I know is our garden. I don't know anyone outside this mansion except for my parents who are always travelling I don't know anything about the real world and yet I have to take over some business when I'm 21 and my parents also expect me to be married by that time since they think a woman alone can't take over the association, that's quite sexist don't you think?
However despite all this, everyone is always working so hard to please me and I don't want to seem ungrateful so I always smile. As long as they're happy and satisfied so am I.
"So here's the outfit Miki prepared for you" Ran opened the clothes getting a pair of clothes for me. "Go and take a shower meanwhile I'll clean up and get your breakfast" Ran ordered. "Roger boss" I rolled my eyes.
After getting out of the shower Ran was gone, my bedroom was clean and my breakfast was lying on my table.
Well, I'll just check out my breakfast. There was a bowl of rice porridge, another bowl of miso soup, nori with some rice and soy sauce in it, a plate with tamagoyaki and some green tea. "It smells sooo good!" I smiled giving it a sniff.
I should hurry up to eat the delicious breakfast Su made for me!
I blow-dried my hair with a blow-dryer that has a diffuser attached so my hair gets wavy but not frizzy. Then I put my hair in wavy side ponytail, holding it together with a white x-clip.
Now let's see what Miki put together for me… I put on the outfit then looked it the mirror. I wore a salmon pink, above knee length pleated skirt and a white sleeveless blouse put in the skirt loosely.
"Cute yet simple, as expected from Miki" I smiled at myself satisfied. I opened the closet looking for a pair of matching shoes and noticed some salmon pink studded sandals in the corner of my closet.
"Perfect!" I grabbed the shoes and put them on and as if planned my stomach growled and I let the sweet smell of my breakfast enter my nostrils.
"Ah, sweet breakfast here I come" I practically drooled over breakfast. "Itadakimasu" I got my chopsticks and started eating.
After eating I picked up the plate and planned to bring it to the kitchen so it can get washed but then Ran entered. "No, Amu-chan I'll take that just go to the study on the 1st floor Dia's waiting there for you" Ran took the tray out of my hands. "Fine" I sighed.
"Hey Dia" I greeted as I entered. "Ah Amu-chan" Dia smiled.
"So what are we going to do today?" I asked taking a seat. "Well let's start with…" Dia paused looking through the books. "Geography" She said taking the geography book and an atlas out of the shelf.
"Have you memorized all the countries in Asia yet?" She asked taking a globe from her desk. "Yes" I nodded
"Well then, what country is this?" She asked pointing at a country on the globe. "Japan, duh" I rolled my eyes. "What about this one" She pointed at another country "Vietnam" I answered "This?" She asked. "Indonesia" I yawned. "How about this one" She at a country above India, looking rather small compared to India itself. "Nepal" I answered a bit bored.
"Ah, so far so good" Dia smiled. "Well then that was the last continent you had to memorize, guess we're finished with geography" Dia told me. "And we're also finished with… economy, English, Japanese, history, biology, P.E, math, science, astrology, art and cooking" Dia explained.
"Well, then I guess I can get ready for senior exams and finish high school and start getting ready for college, right?" I said. Even though I'm 16 and should be in my 2nd year of high school, I already completed high school by now since rather than starting school at age 6, like normal kids I started when I was 4.
"No, no Amu..." Dia shook her head. "Why not?" I raised a brow. "There's one class we haven't finished… Music" Dia explained. "Music is unnecessary in a business career" I sighed.
"Well, you still have to still need to get a grade for it and if you refuse then I'll just write down an F" Dia threatened.
"Fine, what's the assignment?" I sighed. "Write and preform a song" She ordered. "Huh?" I asked completely clueless. "Writing songs or poems helps expressing emotions, with music you have 2 months to write this song and find a place to preform" Dia explained.
"Don't you have any emotions in your heart that you would like to express" Dia winked as if she knew exactly how I felt at the moment. "Seriously, I guess I don't really have a choice" I laughed.
"So you plan to get a tutor for your university education right after graduating?" Dia asked. "Yes, why do you ask?" I cocked my head to the side curiously.
"Well, you're just so young… Wouldn't you like to go to a real public high school first?" Dia asked. "Well that's dangerous…" I smiled sadly.
"The world is a dangerous place, Amu. If you're going to be locked up in here till you're 21 how are you going to know anything about the world?" Dia sighed. "Why don't you ask your parents to let you enter high school and then go to school when you're 18 instead" Dia offered. "They'd say no anyway" I frowned. "You're never gonna know if you never even try" Dia said pulling out her cellphone dialed in a number then handed the phone to me.
"Just ask, at least you'll know" Dia smiled. I nodded and took a deep breath.
"Hello this is Hinamori Tsumugu, who am I speaking with?" My father answered. "H-Hello oto-sama, it's me Amu" I answered nervously.
"Ah, Amu dear what is it?" My dad asked sounding ecstatic to be talking with me. "Can I please speak okaa-sama?" I asked.
My mother is easier to talk to when it comes to stuff like this. "Oh, yes of course" He answered sounding a bit disappointed.
"Hello, Amu-chan?" My mother answered. "Um, mom I have a question… It's a pretty big deal though" I said a bit nervously about being rejected. "Yes of course sweetie, what do you want to ask?" My mother asked.
"W-Well I just finished my high school education with Dia and well, erm I was just uh… Wondering if I-I-I…" I started hesitantly. "Yes?" My mother said.
"C-Can I please enter a public school?!" I asked. "Why would you want to do that?" My mom asked worriedly.
"Ooka-sama, I'm going to take over an Association one day, while I know nothing about the real world. Don't you think it'd be better if I actually went outside to see what the people are like and learn a bit about socializing" I explained.
"I guess you're right, but…" My mother said. "Yes ooka-sama?" I asked. "No one will know who you really are so go to a low class school where people barely know anything about the economy and I will sent Miki with you to school" My mother explained.
"AND NO BOYS ON THE SCHOOL!" My father yelled through the phone. "No dear, Amu wants to go to a public school not an all-girls school" My mother explained him. "NOOOO! MY LITTLE SPARROW!" I could hear me father cry through the phone.
"Oto-sama I'm going to school I'm not getting married" I rolled my eyes. "About that Amu, we're already looking for a fiancée" My mother explained. "But ooka-sama, can't I at least pick my own husband" I frowned.
"How about this sweetie, we'll look for some eligible men around your age, but you can also look for a boy yourself. If you can't find anyone by the time that you're 21 we're going to have to pick your husband, understood?" My mother explained. "Yes, thank you ooka-sama" I thanked my mother.
"Hm, just go and pick a decent public school with Dia and Miki, okay?" My mother said. "Yes, again thank you so much for the opportunity ooka-sama" I thanked her once more.
"Bye, Amu-chan" My parents said in unison. "And give Ami-chan our regards as well" My mother added. "Understood, bye okaa-sama, oto-sama" I hung up.
I looked at Dia and smiled, she smiled back. "Well, let's get Miki and look for a school" She said getting up from her desk.
Well that's it for this chapter! I was actually doubting a little if I should stop writing here or write a little more, but this seemed the perfect way to end a chapter so this is my ending. For those who are like: Where's the Amuto?! Well I'm going to make Ikuto appear in chapter 2 or 3. Review please!
