A rewrite of my previous fanfiction, Broken Wings.
I was so glad with my decision. To able to go to the famous school, Alice Gakuen, one which only geniuses go to.
As I stared out of the window while heading towards the school, I decided that I want to lead a new life. I hated my previous life. I had no warm, happy family unlike all of my classmates. Everyday, when I returned home, I was coldly welcomed with no greetings, whereas, their parents would warmly greet my friends.
I was the first in overall of the whole level. But, whatever I did, it was to the drains. I felt that I was a thorn in a pretty dandelion field. My older sister, Mika, would be the one that received all the praises when she got first or got highest in the exams. During the end of the year, when we got our report cards, I would get A-Stars, with only five out of seven of the subjects with full marks. I would show them to my parents, hoping that they will encourage me to do better, but all they said was, "You could have done better."
At school, I had no friends. I was avoided like as if I was a monster. Every time, when there was group work, I would be left out and I would complete my work individually. During lunch, I often ate alone. When I got home from school, I wouldn't bother taking a look at the parents that underestimated me; I just took my lunch, bathed, and worked on my homework. Most of the time, while I am bathing, my eyes would let a tear drop. I was lonely. I felt that I was a little bird locked up in a cage.
Then, it was that day; I felt that the bird that was locked was free. The academy staff came for me. Mika was jealous that I was an Alice and tried all means to get the staffs' attention for her to also attend the academy. I requested for them to ignore her orders and I immediately packed my belongings. Then, I realized that I had no intention of packing them. I wanted to forget them, my life and start afresh. I took a few of my black clothing, packed them in my tiny bag and headed out. When I was at the doorstep, my parents were crying. I didn't know why but I didn't want to know. When I was in the car, the teacher that brought me to the academy, Mr. Narumi explained that my mother was reluctant for me to leave. I was shocked that my mother wanted me to stay when I felt that there was no need. I ignored his comment and looked out of the window.
We arrived at the academy a few hours later and I asked Mr. Narumi. "I'm not a genius, why am I here?"
"You are a genius. You have a wonderful and special power called Alice. Everyone in this school has an Alice."
"Alice?"
Mr. Narumi explained to me what an alice was and why we are being protected by the government. He also told me that there would be no contact with any of my family members once I entered the school, but I didn't care that. I was excited about a new school.
"What is my alice?"
"Sound."
I asked Mr. Narumi a question. He was surprised that I was asking such a question. He must have thought that I knew my alice. As we were walking towards the faculty room, he explained further about the regulations of the academy. I was a Special Star, the star rank above the others. I had the most allowance, best facilities and food and respect among the other students. He asked me to wait outside a room and he entered it to register my information and report to the principal.
When Mr. Narumi came out, he handed to me a card. It was an ID card, he had explained. I opened it and it read.
Name: Fujisaki Maika
Age: 11
Class: 1-B
Alice: Sound
I was happy that I was an official student of the academy. Mr. Narumi handed to me the uniform and he brought me to my room. As I was walking, I realized that I've not been treated with such kindness before. I was happy and contented. He also told me that he would be my form teacher and I would start school the following day. Soon, we reached the dormitories and I faced many questioning glares from the students. It was night. I suddenly remembered. They were finished with their dinner and were headed to their rooms. Nevertheless, I ignored their glares and headed to my room.
I entered my room to be surprised with such loyalty. There was a TV, a huge bed, a computer, a beanbag sofa, a huge bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. Inside the wardrobe were outfits that were nicely laid out and I dumped my bag on one of the shelves. Mr. Narumi wished me good night and I plunged into the bed. It was a waterbed!
Then, I decided to bath. After my bath, I explored the walk-in wardrobe and laid my alarm clock on the side table next to my table. It was still early, and I decided on watching the television for a moment. Then, my eyelids fell and I plunged into darkness, having sweet dreams.
I decided to rewrite Broken Wings after thinking for a long time. I thought that it would be a nice fanfiction to continue and keep writing. So, here is it!
