It was an early morning, and a girl just woke up. She was quite short and had a beautiful long hair with golden locks; she was dressed in a yellow silk nightgown. As soon as she opened her eyes, a pair of honey colored eyes could be seen.
She quickly got out of her king-sized bed which was in the middle back of her huge bedroom, while stifling a yawn. Her room was decorated in western style, there was a balcony next to her bed, there was a chandelier on the ceilings, she had a closet that looked like even an elephant could fit there, and a huge dresser. Simply put, she was filthy rich.
After she had gotten ready, she went downstairs, to the dining room to have her breakfast. In the dining room, there sat her parents, she quickly sat down, joining in. A couple of maids and butlers quickly served her with breakfast.
"Good morning Rima," Her father spoke.
"Good morning father, mother," She greeted her parents politely.
"Rima, today we are having a couple of guests over, so please be home quick," Her mother said straight to the point.
"I understand mother, then, I will be leaving for school," She said standing up, even though she barely touched her breakfast.
"Remember, you're a Mashiro, live up to that name, you're my daughter after all." Her father spoke in a cold voice.
"Yes, I understand father," And with that, she left the house.
Yup, she was Rima Mashiro, the only daughter to the Mashiro family, the owner of a big company chain, and she, being the only successor, was burdened with the weight of her parents' expectations ever since she was a little girl.
Whatever the circumstances were, she was not allowed to fail. She always had to be polite, thoughtful, intelligent, and charming. That was what her parents expect from her, and she couldn't disappoint them. She was aware of her situation ever since she was very little.
As soon as she got out of her house, she began walking to school, her school; Seiyou high school was not far from her house. And contrary to popular beliefs, she did not go to a prestigious high school or anything, Seiyou high school was not some prestigious school or anything, it was a normal school. Being an heir to a big company, she had to know the society and their circumstances well, and going to some prestigious high school would hinder that.
And as she only went to a normal high school, she should go there normally as well, besides, she liked the fresh morning air.
On her way to school, she met with one of her friends. She quickly greeted her politely, "Good morning Fujisaki-san," With a smile befitting a Mashiro.
A girl with a long purple hair, tied up in a pony tail, with a pair of ocher eyes, slender body, and elegant mannerism greeted her back, "Good morning to you as well Mashiro-san,"
The girl's name was Fujisaki Nadeshiko, she was a sophomore, same as her, a kind girl, popular with boys, and she even had her own fan club. She was also a part of the student council with Rima.
They were close to each other, and even could be considered best friends, but their politeness kept them from calling each other's first name.
"How was your weekend, Fujisaki-san," Rima asked politely.
"It was fine; it was rather uneventful though, what about you Mashiro-san?" She asked back, smiling sweetly.
"It was also fine," She answered back.
Soon, they were immersed in their conversation, and talked about all sort of things. After a while, they reached their school.
SEIYOU ACADEMY's sign could be seen on the front gate, and as they stepped into the school, their duties as students began.
The bell rang, indicating that school was over. Mashiro Rima quickly packed her stuffs and headed to the royal garden, where the student council always had meetings. Even though she had matters to attend to today, she would not skip the meeting, it usually didn't take very long, and skipping could harm her reputation.
As soon as she entered the royal garden, she was greeted with the greeneries. All sorts of plants were there, and in the middle of that greeneries, were a big white round table, which had 9 chairs.
All of the student council's members were already present.
Hotori Tadase, a sophomore, the president of the student council. He had a blonde hair and ruby eyes; he was a gentle, kind, and a polite person. Despite his rather feminine look, his leading ability was plausible, that was why he was chosen as the student council president.
Sanjou Kairi, a freshman, the vice president of the student council. He had green hair with a pair of sapphire eyes. He always had a stoic look, and his spectacles just added that impression. Even though he was still a freshman, he was trusted as the vice president because of his academic achievement, and he lived up to that expectation as he did a great job as being the vice president.
Hinamori Amu, a sophomore, the treasurer of the student council. She had a rather odd pink hair, and golden eyes. She was a cheerful and a clumsy person, she was also an optimist. She was chosen due to her popularity.
Souma Kukai, a junior, the sports section. He had an unruly brown hair, accompanied by a pair of emerald eyes. He was a cheerful and simple minded person; he was also energetic and hot-headed, he could never back down from a challenge. He was also the captain of the soccer team.
Hoshina Utau, a junior, the arts section. She had a long blonde hair, tied into pigtails, and a pair of amethyst eyes. Her demeanor was cold, but she was actually short tempered and a rather stuck up person.
Yuiki Yaya, another freshman, the social section. She had brown hair that reached her shoulder, and it was tied into pigtails with a pair of big red ribbons, she had a pair of red eyes. She was a very childish person, even though she was already in high school, she still tied her hair into pigtails, different for Utau, this hairstyle made her look really childish. She was an energetic and a rather spoiled person.
Tsukiyomi Ikuto, a senior, the tools section. A person with dark blue hair and amethyst eyes. His figure was tall even for his age. He was a quiet and calm person; he didn't speak much and rarely voiced his opinions.
And last but not least, Mashiro Rima and Nadeshiko Fuisaki as the secretaries of the student council.
She quickly took her seat beside Nadeshiko Fujisaki and greeted, "Good afternoon Hotori-san, Sanjou-san, Hinamori-san, Souma-san, Hoshina-san, Yuiki-san, Tsukiyomi-san, and Fujisaki-san." In one breathe.
"Good afternoon to you as well, Mashiro-san," Tadase replied politely.
The others just nod in acknowledgement, except Yaya who responded, "I told you to call me Yaya".
"I'm sorry Yuiki-san, but that would be impolite," Rima answered smiling.
"That's no fun; you, Nade, Tadase, and Kairi never call me by my first name!" Yaya exclaimed loudly.
Nadeshiko's response was a mere chuckle, while Kairi only adjusted his glasses. Rima just smiled.
"Aaaah! I don't know what is it with you guys!"
"I think we should start the meeting," Amu suddenly spoke.
"She's right. I don't usually want to make Tadase ramble right away, but I've got something to do today," Utau added.
"The pop star's right, we should hurry," Kukai said, calling Utau pop star, he once explained that he called her that because of her stuck up attitude that was just like a pop star. While smiling brightly.
Ikuto stayed silent, not voicing his thoughts, but he seemed to agree with it.
"Everyone's so mean today!" Yaya said loudly because no one took her seriously.
"Now now Yuiki-san, let's begin," Tadase started.
As expected, the meeting didn't last very long, everyone quickly went home.
When Rima got home, her father was in the living room, but her mother was nowhere in sight, this sight was quite rare, since he always came home late, but they were having guests over today, so it shouldn't be such a surprise.
Her father noticed Rima and spoke, "Rima, I expected you to be home earlier," He sounded his disapproval.
"I'm sorry father, I was a bit held up in the student council meeting," She answered while bowing her head.
Her father then spoke, "Rima, you should prepare yourself quickly, the guests will be here shortly, please put on something presentable". Not caring about her reason, as if saying excuses wouldn't work on him.
"Yes father," She answered and went to her room.
As her parents told her, when she reached her room, she quickly freshen herself up, and put on something more presentable than her school uniform.
She quickly joined her parents in the living room.
The doorbell soon rang, and as if on cue, her father stood up and spoke, "Come Rima, we must greet our guests."
"Yes father," The girl obeyed her father.
Who she met at the front door was beyond her imagination, but still she managed to hide her surprise, as the daughter of Mashiro family, she must always kept an elegant mannerism and showed dignity as a Mashiro, and being surprised was definitely not a Mashiro thing to do.
In front of her, there stood teens such as herself with their parents, each with their own parents. They were all dressed presentably. The atmosphere around them was extraordinary, indicating they were not any ordinary people.
Rima's father quickly greeted them, "Good afternoon, please come to the living room, it is more suitable to talk there," He said business fashioned.
And so, we all sat in the living room.
When all of them had settled down, Rima's father spoke, "I'm sure you all have known each other, but for formality, let's start with introducing ourselves."
Silence engulfed the room, it seemed that neither of them wanted to start this awkward introductions.
The leanest figure of the teens than stood up, and politely spoke, "My name is Tsukiyomi Ikuto, the heir of the Tsukiyomi Company, our company specializes in music industries, and we organize famous concert events and are always on the lookout for new talents, we also have a connection to Julliard as we are able to get some of their students to form contracts with us every year. Pleased to meet you all." And then sat back down.
When the young boy with midnight blue hair started, the others quickly followed suit.
A girl with brown hair, let down and golden eyes stood up. Her mannerism was very elegant as she gave a mature aura around her, "My name is Yuiki Yaya, the heiress of Yuiki Company, Yuiki Company attends to western dancing matters, such as ballet, break dancing and ballroom dancing. Our company hosts royal exams for aspiring dancers. Nice to meet you all." After her introductions, she sat back down.
A boy with green hair, blue eyes and stoic look with glasses stood up, "Sanjou Kairi would be my name, I am the heir of the Sanjou technology company. Our company is always in suit to find ways to make technology moves forward. Pleased to meet you." He said shortly and sat back down.
The petite girl didn't want to be the last to introduce herself, so she stood up, "My name is Mashiro Rima, the heiress to Mashiro toy company, our company doesn't only sell normal toys like dolls, but highly advanced toy gadget models. I am pleased to make you acquaintance." She said politely. From the corner of her eyes, she saw her father smiling proudly, satisfied by her introductions.
A girl with pink hair and golden eyes then stood up,"Hinamori Amu, from Hinamori engineerin company, our company is highly recognized for our medical technologies and our new project is to make artificial organ, such as hearts and lungs." She didn't end it with pleased or nice to meet you-s. And sat back down. Beside her, her mother didn't seem to look pleased with her daughter's introductions.
A boy with neatly combed brown hair and emerald eyes stood up, "My name would be Souma Kukai, from Souma Sports Company, and we don't only sell some sports stuff, but always actively creating new protein foods. It is a pleasure to meet you all." He introduced himself very politely, the teens beside himself was pretty much shocked, but in this circumstances, it would be rude to state their thoughts.
As soon as he sat down, a girl with long blonde hair stood up almost immediately, "Hoshina Utau is my name, and I am the heiress to Hoshina Company, the arts industries. There's not much to explain about it as we only actively release new bands and such, pleased to meet you." She said with a sweet smile and light voice.
The teens that introduced themselves were almost amused by her introductions, but the keyword was almost, anything was possible in this kind of situation they were in. The girl sat back down.
A boy with blonde hair and ruby eyes stood up, "My name is Hotori Tadase, My family doesn't own a company, but we have owned more than 20 schools all over Japan, international schools, private schools, public schools, and such. Ah, Seiyo academy is also one of our schools." He said in a sweet manner even for girls.
Only one person hadn't introduced himself, everyone was staring at him, realizing this, the boy stood up. As he stood up, his long purple hair swayed down, and his ochre eyes shone out of confidence, "Nagihiko Fujisaki, I am from the Fujisaki household, different from Yuiki, we specialize in cultural dancing from all over the world, Kabuki for instance, but anything else our company is rather similar to Yuiki's." The boy pondered about what to say for a moment, wanting to add more to his introductions, "Oh yeah, you all know me by the name of Fujisaki Nadeshiko at school." He said cheerfully and sat back down.
Exactly eight pair of eyes stared at him, wide eyed. This… was by far the most shocking revelations they had in this full of surprise day.
