"New in Town"
Mizutani Hizon is a 17-year-old girl with black, wavy hair, blue eyes, and loves purple who only lives with her mother and is dreading leaving her old neighborhood because her mother got a new job. She hugs all her friends as they drive off in a moving truck toward their new town. As they head over to their new home Mizutani is listening to her music loud ignoring what her mother is saying. They pull up to their new house and Mizutani looks around.
"Mom are you serious? This town, is nothing like back home, I doubt I will make friends here. I am going to be an outcast, look at how people are looking at me already."
Tasaka looked.
"Mizutani why are you putting this town down already, you might actually like it here and I highly doubt you will be an outcast. But you must enroll in an all-girls school."
Mizutani looked at her mother.
"A what? You're making me go to an all-girls school? Why would you do that to me? What did I do to you?"
Tasaka looked at her.
"You are not being punished, it will be a better education for you. Besides, tomorrow I will start as your head mistress."
Mizutani flipped out.
"Wait what, you're making me go to an all-girls school that you are the head mistress of! I can't believe I am hearing this."
Tasaka looked at her.
"Young lady what's with that tone suddenly?"
Mizutani looked with her arms crossed.
"You are making me go to a school that you are a head mistress at, how could you embarrass me like that! I will never make friends if they know I am your daughter it's not fair! I am going out for ice cream to clear my mind. I'll be back later."
Tasaka shook her head as she heard the door slam and looked down.
'Why is she so cold toward me? It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. She's 17 and should understand.'
Mizutani came across an ice cream shop and entered, she ordered a vanilla ice cream cone and was walking toward a table to sit alone, when she spotted a girl about her age and decided to try and make a friend, since she is stuck in this town that is nothing like her hometown. She cautiously walked over to the girl with brown hair and beautiful hazel blue eyes, she was a lil shorter than Mizutani.
"Hello, may I sit here?" She asked timidly.
The girl looked up.
"Sure, you can."
She looked up and smiled at her.
Mizutani sat down across from the nice girl and smiled a little.
"Thank you so much, my name is Mizutani. What's your name?"
The brown-haired girl looked up from her ice cream and smiled.
"You're welcome and I am Hiza, it's nice to meet you."
Mizutani looked a little sad as she responded.
"It's nice to meet you to, Hiza. I am new to this town and really have no friends."
Hiza looked up as she smiled at her.
"I'll be your friend."
Mizutani looked up from her cone.
"Thank you so much, Hiza. I'd like that a lot."
Hiza responded as she looked at her.
"No problem at all."
Mizutani finished her ice cream and asked.
"So what should we do after we have our ice cream?"
Hiza finished her ice cream and smiled.
"I really don't know, let's do whatever you wanna do?"
Mizutani was thinking , and then she looked at Hiza.
"Hmm, how about hanging out at the mall? I absolutely love the mall."
Hiza threw their garbage out.
"That sounds like a great plan, I also love the mall."
She smiled as they exited the ice cream shop.
"This is so great my new friend loves the mall just as much as I do. What else do you like?"
As they walked toward the mall Hiza looked at her.
"I do like art, I am a painter. Lots of people know me because of my paintings…I feel like they stalk me."
Mizutani heard that and smiled as the two friends were crossing the street.
"I'd love to see some of your art, I am into art myself. I also love video games."
Hiza smiled as they crossed at the walkway.
"Oh, that is so cool, I am also into video games."
Mizutani nodded and then she sighed.
"That's really amazing we have so much in common, I just don't know what school I'll be enrolled in, or if I will fit in."
Hiza looked up.
"Oh, I don't go to school…He he I am homeschooled."
Mizutani looked at her curious.
"Oh, how is homeschooling?"
Hiza looked down and sighed.
"It's alright, just a bit lonely."
Mizutani had a thought and smiled at her.
"Well, if you'd like I can come over after school, and hang out with you if I am not loaded with homework. Since we are friends now. "
Hiza hearing that she blushed a little.
"That would be nice and call me Hil."
She smiled as they arrived at the mall.
"Okay Hil, I really like that name a lot and call me Tani for short or Mizu whichever you prefer."
They entered a store and Hiza looked around and her face lit up.
"Look at all these clothes, it's like a fairy tale of everything I love in one place."
Mizutani giggled as she also looked around.
"Yes it really is, so many cute outfits I want to buy them all."
Hiza nodded and started picking outfits and outing them in her shopping bag.
"I know right."
Mizutani nodded as she also started picking outfits out.
"Oh my I think I went overboard."
She looked at all their shopping bags as they walked through the mall laughing and talking.
Hiza looked at her.
"Nah, I think you did fine, its me who went a little overboard. Hey Mizu…One question."
Mizutani stopped walking and looked at her.
"Yes Hil what is it?"
Hiza looked at her.
"Well,what do you think of me?"
Mizutani smiled as she answered sincerely.
"You are awesome, and I am glad we met and became friends. Hil what do you think about me?"
Hiza looked at her friend.
"You're a sweet girl, and I am glad that we became friends. Now I know we will become the best of friends."
Mizutani smiled at the answer.
"Thank you so much, and I am sure we will. What should we do next? It is still early?"
Hiza looked up.
"First let's take our bags to our homes and then we can decide. Whose house should we go to 1st?"
Mizutani smiled.
"Let's go to your house first Hil, I really want to see your art. Then after that we can go to my house and then decide where to go or do next?"
Hiza smiled and nodded.
"Yes, these bags are a bit heavy Mizu-Chan. My parents aren't home they are both at work. But I will definitely show you my art as I promised."
Mizutani nodded as they made there way to Hiza's house and followed her in, after she took off her shoes.
"Wow this is a really nice house Hil, it's so big."
Hiza looked at her.
"Why thank you, my room is this way Mizu-Chan. Don't be shy, my room is full of my paintings some I hang up in frames that I win prizes for?"
Mizutani nodded.
"Don't worry I hang my art too, if its one of my favorites another thing we have in common."
Hiza smiled as she opened her bedroom door and put the bags down. Then she showed Mizutani her sketch book and her latest painting on her easel.
"This is my latest painting, it's just sketched out right now."
Mizutani looked and smiled.
"I can't wait to see the finished painting Hil. You are very talented."
Hiza looked and blushed a lil.
"Why thank you Mizu-Chan. Let's head over to your place now, so I can see your art and you can put those bags down."
Mizutani looked and smiled with a slight blush.
"Very well, Hil. We will go to my house next. We are still moving in. So, the house might be a little turned upside down. My room is no better, as for my art I just have one that I am working on at the moment. As soon as I am settled in I will show you the rest of my art too."
Hiza smiled and nodded as they made their way toward her house. They arrived and Mizutani used her key and unlocked her front door. Then she entered the house and took off her shoes, calling to her mother.
"Mom, I am back. Are you here still?"
Hiza entered behind her.
"Your house is very spacey also, it's just you and your mother Mizu-Chan?"
Mizutani looked down.
"Yes, its been me and my mother only for a few years now, I really rather not say anything about my father Hil-Chan. "
Hiza looked and had a sad face.
"Okay Mizu-Chan, are you sure your mother is here? I will not bring up your father again I promise"
Mizutani entered the kitchen and saw a note.
"Oh, my mother went to the store for dinner. It looks like the only room she organized is the kitchen. She will be back soon, when she comes back I will let you meet her."
Hiza nodded and took off her shoes as she entered behind Mizutani. They headed up the spiral staircase, where the hall was decorated with beautiful lights and a a bunch of pictures on the walls in the hallway. Mizutani opened a blue door and invited Hiza in.
"This is my room, and this is the painting I am planning out. It's just an outline right now. "
Hiza looked at it.
"Wow you do have talent Mizu-Chan. I like the way your room is set up too. I am really anxious to see the final painting."
Mizutani blushed a lil as she turned away and looked out her window.
"Why thank you Hil-Chan, I am glad you are impressed by my art. Here is one I have completed."
Hiza sat on Mizutani's bed looking at her completed painting, that could show the sadness Mizutani was feeling being without her father.
"I can see that you put a lot of feelings into your work Mizu-Chan. That is what makes us stand out from others. We portray our feelings in our art, this way we have a way to soothe the pain or feelings we can't show others. You truly are a unique artist."
She looked up and saw Mizutani's figure realizing how beautiful she was and felt her cheeks turn red as she stared while Mizutani pulled her hair out of her ponytail and brushed it so elegantly.
