"Breakaway"-Kelly Clarkson

It would really make it dramatic if you listen to the song while reading this…:3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

Yuki quietly sat in a chair next to the window of the classroom, pressing his forehead against the glass. He watched as the window began to fog, blurring the view of the miserable, rainy weather.

"Yukiiiiiiiiii!!!!"

Yuki unwillingly turned his head as three girls ran inside of the classroom.

"Yuki! Get ready, because in five minutes, you're going to give a speech in an assembly about how you're going to make this awfully dreadful high school into a spectacular Yuki kingdom!"

The three girls jumped and giggled with excitement as Yuki still sat with his same expression.

But when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

"Ano, when was this arranged?"

Yuki sat in confusion as the girls happily walked out of the classroom, shrugging off his question.

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I prayed I could break away

He stressfully sighed as he turned back to the window, his confusion turning into anger.

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes

Till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness

And into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

His fists began to clench as he abruptly stood up. He cautiously walked to the door, looking around to see if anyone was around. He then crept out, and walked to the door that led outside. He slowly opened it as a cold gust hit him.

I want to feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get on board a fast train

Travel on a jet plane

Far away and break away

Little droplets of rain began to fly onto his face as he gazed out into the dark, unpredictable world.

"Welcome, students. Today, we will have our one and only Yuki expl…"

The assembly started as a girl whispered in another's ear.

"Go get Yuki…it's time!"

The girl nodded and ran off as Yuki took his first step outside.

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but

Gotta keep movin' on movin' on

Fly away break away

He turned around after he took a couple of steps, the light from the building glaring in his eyes.

"EEEEEECK! YUKI ISN"T HERE!!"

He turned back around as the scampering of classmates was clearly audible.

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy

To tell you goodbye

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away…

Step after step, the screaming and the shuffling of feet became louder and louder. He covered his ears and began to run, fearing that the panicky atmosphere would cause him to turn back. Finally, the air became still as he wandered into a cluster of swaying trees.

"Yuki! Yuki?!?!"

A girl hastily opened the door and scanned the area, finally wailing with disappointment and slamming the doors shut…

Break away

Break away.
