(I'm gunna use the English names in this story, because most people prefer them.)
She brushed her short chocolate hair as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her emerald eyes twinkled in the candlelight. She was entranced. Her pale left arm stayed in her lap as the other had the hand that held the brush gliding through her tresses. She didn't take her eyes away from the mirror. She breathed softly and quietly. Her skin was white and silky, her lips, red as roses.
She sat in a red cushion chair, with fine wood legs. The room around her was hard to see, but the floor was stone. She heard a door open from behind her, but she didn't take her eyes away from the mirror. A strong hand swept over her chest and to the other shoulder. She then saw a pair of exquisite lips come to her ear, she couldn't see the face but somehow she knew whom it was.
Softly and yearningly the voice said, "It is time my desirable angel." She then heard a sigh and a bit of a snicker as the figure moved away and shifted out of the room to wait for her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kassidy shot up in her bed. Her eyes were wide and she took deep breaths. She was sweating and tears were coming from of her eyes. It was another one. That dream was worst than the last. There were some things that always appeared in them though. She was always in a mansion and that same person was always there.
She pushed the blankets off her body and moved her legs to the side of the bed. Her hands rest beside her on both sides of her hips as she thought about this dream. Why was she having them? It was so weird. She brushed the idea off and looked at her clock. It was 8:36 AM.
Kassidy ran her left hand through her short brown hair. Her big green eyes were focused on the white carpet of her room. She finally decided to stand up and go to her window.
She opened the blinds to find it bright and sunny outside. She smiled. What a beautiful day. Kids were running in the middle of the road and dogs were walking along the sidewalks.
Kassidy walked over to her closet and opened it. There she saw her blue robe hanging, just waiting to be worn. She reached for it and swung it around her tiny body. She slipped on her black slippers and headed downstairs.
When she got there she ran outside. She walked to the end of the driveway and picked up the morning paper. She figured her parents would want to read it later. She turned back and started to walk towards the house.
"Good morning!" Cried a voice from behind her. She turned and saw a tall man. He looked about the age of seventeen or eighteen. He had brown hair and was walking his motorcycle along the road. Kassidy smiled.
"Good morning." She said and started to turn around again. She didn't get far.
"New in town?" Asked the man. She turned to face him again. She scratched her head with her hand.
"Yes, actually I am."
"Cool. Do you like it here?" He asked.
"It's interesting, but nice." She said looking around her atmosphere. He smiled and walked his bike up her driveway.
"Well, if you need someone to talk to or hang out with just call me. My name is Tristin." He gave her a piece of paper and smiled. Kassidy extended her hand.
"Kassidy." Tristin took her hand and shook it.
"Nice to meet ya."
"Are you usually so bold Tristin?" Kassidy asked him, a small smile playing on her face. Tristin shrugged and grinned widely.
"I guess I'll be seein' you around." He told her. Kassidy looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Well you will be going to school here, right?"
"Well I guess I don't really-…"
"I'll be seein' ya." He said starting his bike and driving off. Kassidy smiled and turned to walk to her house. When she got to her front door and glanced back. She laughed when she saw two little kids across the street playing in the sprinklers.
Kassidy went up to her room and searched through her closet. She picked out a pair of blue jean shorts and a purple t-shirt. She then slipped a pair of black sandals on and traveled back downstairs.
Kassidy ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of orange juice. She wanted apple juice, but they were all out. As soon as she finished the glass of orange juice she made her way out the front door. It was the first day of school. It was a good thing her family moved in the beginning of the year, she hated coming during the middle. Kassidy would be starting 10th grade this year.
Kassidy moved to Domino City with her mother, father, and kid sister two weeks ago. Her father had gotten laid off and now he made them all move. Today he and her mother were out looking for jobs.
Jesse, Kassidy's younger sister, was over at her aunt's house. Kassidy didn't go over there. She didn't feel comfortable around her aunt. It might have been because they weren't really related. Her mom got married to her dad when she was six. They had Jesse soon after that. Jesse was now ten. Kassidy's real dad was in jail for drinking and abusing her mother. She liked her other dad though, just not his family.
Jesse wouldn't be starting school until tomorrow. Her parents had gotten her enrolled yet. Kassidy was now six blocks away from school.
As she rounded the corner, she saw the same boy that was in front of her house standing in front of a game shop. Kassidy smiled, but didn't want to seem to eager. She wanted friends, but she didn't want to seem desperate. Oh how she missed her old friends. She lingered her way over to him bit by bit. As soon as she got close enough she started to whistle and look around the neighborhood.
Tristin turned his head and noticed the brunette. He smiled and began to walk over to her. Of course Kassidy being the way she was, acted like she didn't even notice. When Tristin got to her he grabbed her arm.
"Kassidy?" He asked rather surprised. He wasn't expecting to see her. She turned her face and looked at him. She stared at him blankly. Then a smile appeared on her face. She pointed at him.
"Tristin, right? I didn't recognize you at first." She lied. He just kept smiling.
"Going to school?" He asked her. She nodded her head. He looked away from her and then back. "Do you want a ride?" He asked motioning his head toward his motorcycle. She smiled, of course she did! She'd never ridden one before! It would be so cool. She decided to study the bike for a few seconds.
"Well, I don't-…"
"It's totally safe." He said cutting her off. She studied the bike further. It was big and it had leather seats on it. She looked back at him and nodded. He smiled and grabbed her hand. He pulled her over to the bike. She rubbed her hand over the leather of the seats. Tristin got on and picked up the helmet on the back. It was black and had a visor on it. He handed it to Kassidy.
"Here." Kassidy took it from him and slid over her head. She then sat on the seat and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hold on tight." He started the bike and in a flash they were gone.
When the two arrived at the school, Tristin parked his bike in the parking lot. He got off and looked at Kassidy, who was still on the bike. She removed the helmet.
When she got off, she put out her hand.
"Thank you Tristin." He grinned, took her and shook it.
"No problem. You know what, why don't you have lunch with my friends and me. It's a good way to meet people. Especially if you hang with me, you'll have friends in no time." He told her.
"Yeah right. If she hangs wit' you?" Said someone from behind them. Kassidy and Tristin turned to see another tall young man with bushy blonde hair. He wore a green jacket and blue jeans.
"Joey. Where's Tea'?" Tristin asked the man. He smiled.
"With Yug. They are lookin' around at all their classes." Joey looked over at Kassidy. He extended his hand.
"Hi my name is Joey." He told her. Kassidy shook his hand.
"I'm Kassidy, nice to meet you."
The three began to talk as they walked inside the school. The two led Kassidy to the office, where she could get her class schedule. She spoke to the secretary for several minutes. She finally got the piece of paper that determined her classes. Tristin took it from her and unfolded it.
"You got Science and Math with me." He told her. Joey then stole it from Tristin. He studied it for a moment and then spoke.
"You got. History, Science, and Home Ec. wit' me." He said smiling. Kassidy smiled and took the piece of paper from the blonde. Her schedule had this order: Science, Language Arts, History, Math, Home Ec., and P.E.
Out of nowhere two kids ran up to them. One was a taller girl with brown straight hair and the other was shorter with tri colored hair. They looked as if they were somewhat going out, but Kassidy didn't make that assumption. They smiled and waved.
"Hey guys. Did you see all your classes?" Tristin asked the two. Joey rolled his eyes and looked at Kassidy. Kassidy focused on the two students.
"Yep! Yugi and I have three classes together!" The brown hard girl said elbowing the shorter student. He just nodded.
"That's great! Hey Tea' let me see your schedule." Tristin said. The girl handed him the same piece of paper Kassidy had. Tristin studied the piece. "Lets see, you have History and Math with me. How about you Yug?"
The short boy handed him his schedule. Joey grabbed Tea's and read it over. Kassidy just stood there not knowing what to do.
"Yugi, you got History and Home Ec. with me." Tristin handed the schedule to Joey. Joey gave the one he had back to Tea'. She must not have had any classes with him.
"Yugi has Language Arts, Math, and Wood shop with me." He said. Joey handed the paper back to Yugi and smiled. Yugi smiled too. There was a great silence. Tea' decided to break the ice.
"Hi my names Tea'." She said putting her hand in front of Kassidy. Kassidy looked at Tea's hand. She looked up at the smiling Tea' and stared at her. She was so cheery…it almost made Kassidy uncomfortable. She wanted to make a good impression, but she didn't want to over do it, which was what almost seemed to be happening with Tea'.
"Kassidy." Was all she said. Tea' pulled her hand back and looked hurt. Joey and Tristin stared at Kassidy trying to figure out what was wrong. They didn't have time to think anymore, the bell rang. Everyone scrambled to get to his or her classes.
Kassidy made her way to the Language Arts room. She quickly went to a desk and sat down. She began to look through her bag and pulled out a pencil and some paper. When she looked up again she saw Tea' staring at her. Kassidy smiled and looked back at her paper. The silence between them finally became unbearable. Kassidy needed to make up her mind! She would talk to her! She might as well try to make friends while she could, right?
"Sorry for acting like such a jerk back there." Kassidy told Tea'. Tea' suddenly smiled and turned around in her desk. The rest of the day went fairly well. It wasn't as bad as Kassidy might have thought it would have been.
As she walked home, she passed an old colonial house. It looked abandoned from the looks of the out side. It was boarded up and looked like the wood was beginning to rot. Kassidy scrunched her face and moved on. The thought of that house still haunted her though. She was so caught up in thinking about it; she couldn't tell someone was watching her from behind a corner.
