Chapter one
Misleading Truth
The gentle tapping of a pen against the pale wooden teacher's desk echoed through the classroom leaving a soothing feeling to the students who had already grown accustomed to the repetitive sound. Words did not escape from the children's throats as each person concentrated fully on the test that lay mockingly in front of them. Some murmured incoherent sounds to themselves as others were left in a trance as their eyes stared blankly at the whiteness in front of them. Of course there was one more type of student that resided in this stress filled room, and of course that was the carefree, clumsy, hyperactive, somewhat stupid Tomo-ish people. There was only one person who fit that character though, obviously it had to be Takino Tomo. The young chocolate brown haired girl lazily slept with her face planted nonchalantly on the paper in front of her. Her soft breathing shook nervously in her chest as she felt her eyelids flutter open. Not yet being able to see, she loudly let a yawn roll on the tip of her tongue as her arms flung into the air stretching out wildly. Finally her vision began to return to her as she blinked furiously when the light began to tease her watering eyes. Although the girl was loudly annoying no one seemed to notice the movement that had just occurred. Tomo, who was slightly annoyed at the fact, began to examine the situation that was rolling itself out in front of her. Her eyes soon zoomed in on the particular disturbance that was outside. The area seemed rather different than usually. The sky radiated its vibrant pink as small purple clouds drifted across the sky at their own pace. The blue trees that normaly stood solemnly in the schoolyard shook furiously in the wind as black leaves swirled in the breeze only to find themselves landing on the soft white ground.
"Gees, I wish something interesting would happen at school…"
Tomo muttered as she leaned heavily on her pale hands that restlessly stood on the desk, but soon she found herself falling forward as she watched her desk run off out of the classroom, along with her test.
"Hey wait a minute! You damn thief, give me my test back!"
She yelled furiously as she bounced to a standing position and charged after the runaway desk. It had already gotten a rather large head start but Tomo was slowly catching up to it as the windows of the corridor fluttered in the wind. Still far ahead of her, the desk turned the corner in an odd fashion and disappeared from the girl's site.
"Oh no you don't!"
Tomo screamed as she dashed around the corner now wearing a pink penguins costume. She soon found herself screeching to an abrupt stop as her eyes fell upon an orange fuzzy squirrel jumping out the window, a white sheet in its hand. A grin curled the ends of Tomo's lips as she began to burst out laughing, mocking at the runaway fuzziness.
"Like that kind of transformation would stop me!"
She announced flapping her flipper-wings. Tomo hurried to the same window and jumped out carelessly. She floated to the ground softly and stared down at the squirrel that had somehow acquired a small black top hat with a red tie.
"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!"
He cried out as he stared down at the test, which popped into the form of a watch.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be a white rabbit? Or was it a purple pig…"
Tomo exclaimed but her voice soon trailed off as se scratched her chin with the pink flipper-wing.
"You've never read that book! How would you know?!"
The squirrel inquired as he flew away with his cute butterfly wings. The pocket watch dangled back and forth from the silver chain that it was now attached to when Tomo finally realized that once again her test was on the run.
"AH! Come back here you devious squirrelfly!"
She called out as she wobbled towards the street that appeared in front of her. She confidently walked out onto the road but her eyes caught hold of the stop sign that stood on her right. She stopped, just like any other person would do and continued to walk on slowly, she didn't want to crash into anyone after all.
"You were thinking about skipping the stop weren't you?"
The stop sign questioned as he turned only slightly to look at the back of the penguin girl. Tomo didn't really care about what the yellow sign had to say since after all she did stop. She hurried along the spiral road as adults wearing animal masks greeted her casually. She stopped every now and then to ask if they had spotted a purple pig running along. Of course only after asking over a dozen people did she realize that it was actually an orange pig.
"Orange pig, orange pig, orange pig, orange pie, orange pie… Hey mister! Have you seen a orange pie?"
The man in the cat like mask shook his head and continued on his daily route. Fortunately for him he didn't have to go looking for an orange pie in a top hat and tie.
"Wait a minute! It was a Squirrel! Not a Pie-pig! Crap!"
She moaned as she collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily. She quickly rolled onto her back and began to watch as the purple clouds chase each other across the sky.
"If only I had a sign…"
She whimpered slightly staring blankly upwards where an orange squirrelfly cloud flew by…
"Hey! Wait a minute! That cloud looked oddly like a pie… Come back here!"
She cried once again jumping to her feet and waddling off. This was her last chance, if she didn't catch the little rascal then all would be lost. She watched as the squirrelfly landed near a large green lake and immediately dove into the air. As if her courageous act was in slow motion, she flew through the air slowly and with a warriors cry she felt her flipper-wings grab hold of the confused fuzz.
"Okay, okay! Here, you can have your test back…"
Tomo flung herself up as she rested the tips of her pink flippers on her hip. She laughed out triumphantly as she watched the squirrelfly extend his small arm towards her. The watch soon turned back into the paper and Tomo started to reach out her wing to grab the paper. Suddenly the young high school girl felt as if her world was being torn apart. She stared feverously at the animal that seemed to be getting farther away from her by the second.
"Nooooooooooo!"
The word dramatically rolled on the tip of her tongue as she watched the world turn into a black oblivion and with that there was nothing…
A gentle tapping of a pen echoed through the young girls head as her chocolate brown eyes blinked open. The room that she occupied was silent but she could feel the presence of the other students due to the stress that radiated from their young bodies. Tomo shifted in her hard seat and pushed herself up so that she could look around the class. To her left she could see all her friends working on something that seemed to be almost important but more of an irritation. The high school girl's eyes continued to scan the classroom but something even more interesting caught her eye. She recklessly stood up shoving both her desk and chair onto their sides and pointed hysterically towards the window.
"Oh my God! Look! Look! The sky is blue!"
She cried out in a complete state of utter panic. What phenomenon could have possibly made the sky change to such a dull color! And how was it possible that no one had noticed it until she said it? The eccentric girls actions made the students turn their heads only slightly to look at her great discovery but many sighs were breathed out of their mouths as their eyes turned back to look at Tomo.
"Why? Why? Why?! WHY?!"
She blurted out as she heard the sound of high-heeled shoes taping along the ground. Her panic stricken face peered towards where the sound had stopped and found herself looking directly at an irritated teacher.
"Tomo?!"
The young adult snapped in an annoyed tone as the young girls arms seemed to flutter around in confusing.
"Yukari-sensei… Why…"
She once again blurted out through tears as a distinct sound of a hard cover book hitting something like a skull rang through the class.
"Why…"
Tomo whimpered again as Yukari's anger meter hit its top.
"Did you already forget about your test?!"
She screeched in a high pitch voice as if she had snapped. Most of the students edged their desk away from their insane homeroom teacher but Tomo bounced back up into her normal posture when she heard the words that were uttered from her teacher's mouth.
"AHH! Don't worry Yukari-chan! I'll go get that rascal of a squirrelfly and bring him to speak to you about the orange pie-pig!"
Tomo yelled as she dashed out of the classroom. Silence once again fell upon the class as they all stared dumbstruck at the closed door. What had just happen? Not many people could have answered that but they soon heard a loud thud. They turned towards where the noise seemed to originate from and found Yomi with her head flat against her desk.
"I thought it was possible to ignore her…"
She whimpered as the sound once again echoed through the classroom.
-----------------------------------------------------
"I had a epiphany!"
Tomo cried out to the group of friends that stood casually on the roof of the school. It was finally lunchtime and Yukari had finished up with her beating on Tomo. Well, she wasn't quite done but Minamo had dragged her off, against her will, to go eat lunch so in the end it was more like delayed than done.
"Is that your third one this week?"
Kagura mentioned through a mouth full of food. Her comment didn't seem to faze the hyper girl at all as a huge smile danced across her lips. Long minutes passed as Tomo stared blankly at her five friends but it was only Yomi who finally stood up and whacked the girl across the head with her fist.
"Spit it out already!"
Yomi glared at the stupid girl who was still in the position she had landed in from the unexpected attack. Tomo's head slowly retracted to the normal position she was in but with a very different expression. Her eyes were somewhat teary and she seemed to have lost something of great importance to her.
"You knocked it out of my head."
She cried out with an exasperated look on her face.
"Give it back! Give it back! Give it back! Give it back!…"
Yomi stood frozen in her stance and completely speechless.
"I-uh, ca-ah. Stop. Tomo, what-uh… STOP IT!"
She screamed and once again smacked the girl on the head. Tomo froze, as if it were a replay of the last action, but she soon had the huge smile planted on her lips as she bounced around the roof.
"I didn't think that would work…"
Yomi sighed as she sat down in her depression.
"I feel tired."
She stated as she slumped down staring at her food. Chiyo gave a halfhearted laugh.
"So, Tomo-san, what was this epiphany about?"
She questioned not wanting to waste any more of their free time. Tomo immediately stopped with her bouncing and grinned.
"I want to get my drivers license!"
She exclaimed as she once again left her companions speechless.
"No, I won't allow it!"
Yomi stated as her glasses shifted on her nose making her eyes not visible due to the reflection. Shocked, Tomo fell to the ground in agony and despair.
"Why?!"
She whined as Yomi's stubbornness stayed intact.
"We don't need another Yukari!"
Yomi exclaimed, ignoring the shuddering Chiyo, as she munched on the sandwich that was being devoured ever so nervously. Nothing could be worse than having Tomo and Yukari driving on the same road, hell might break loose.
"I heard that insurance would cost more if you wait to long to become a driver…"
Sakaki almost whispered through her tense lips. The tall girl had been watching the clouds but she wasn't deaf. She was not worried about how Tomo might drive, as long as she got a good teacher than everything would turn out fine, probably. Also if she didn't do well then she would just be failed and she would have to give up. Yomi soon caught on to Sakaki's way of thinking and immediately turned and gave the cool girl a thumbs up. She then looked back at Tomo, letting her eyes become visible again and nodded.
"Okay Tomo, we can all get our license then."
From the despaired position to the happy-go-lucky one, it only took a mere second for Tomo to change.
"Don't worry guys! I'll get everything planned out so you don't need to worry about a thing!"
Tomo stated as she happily stood in her confident pose.
"Does that mean I can drive too?"
Osaka had finally escaped from her dazed state as she pointed towards herself with a smile on her face. Her eyes still seemed to look passed the friends but not one person reacted to her question except for the silence that had followed Osaka's voice. Their heads slowly turned towards her, each with their own personal look of fear plastered across their face. All of them could imagine the other girl driving and then all of a sudden drift off into one of her trances. The headline would be, "A Bonkler strikes again!"
"NO!"
The five simultaneously responded. Osaka, hurt from their answer looked at them with confusion.
"Why?"
She questioned as Kagura stood up casually.
"Because you'd give us a bad name."
Osaka still had question marks floating around her spaced out head as the rest of the group stood up.
"Well it's about time we got back to class."
Chiyo stated as she walked towards the door, her friends following.
A few minutes passed as Osaka was left alone on the roof to deal with her own thoughts.
"Why?"
In the distance a distinct voice was heard echoing through the hallways.
"TOOOOMMOOOO!"
Yukari screamed as she caught site of the victim before her.
"Yukari! How do you expect to cover up a murder!"
Minamo's voice was not heard as loud but many students were surprised, or scared witless, to see Yukari charging at the runaway Tomo.
