CHAPPIE 1: The Sweet Accident
It's Monday morning, 26th day of August, first day of class after a long summer vacation. A 17-year old girl was still lying in her bed, sleeping, unaware that she could be late for school until…
— Mikan's POV—
BBBBRRRRIIINNGGGG! The alarm clock rang. "I still want to sleep" I mumbled, rolling on the other side of the bed. I slammed the top of my desk beside my bed to stop the clock from ringing but it's not there.
"Huh? Where's that?" I'm so irritated by the noise so I got up from bed then I heard my mom say "Come on sweetie, you'll be late for school and breakfast is ready… you wouldn't let Miyori eat all the food, would you? Get up now," right outside my door. Ha-ha yeah right, Miyori and I always fight over food. Funny.
"Okay. I'm up!" I said loud enough for my mom to hear.
"Got to shut the alarm clock first, it's getting on my nerves." I said.
As I rolled out of bed, I'm thinking where I put that alarm clock. I looked first at the cabinet, closet, drawer, then the study table and even under my bed but it's not there.
"A-HA! There you are!" I said reaching the noise-maker on top of my hanging book shelf. I almost forgot to look there.
"I forgot I put it there last night to be out of reach. Pheew!"
Anyways my room is on the second floor of our lovely little house, beside the top of the stairs. I can say my room is beautiful because I'm satisfied with it: the bed were covered with light green sheet, my favorite color, with leaf design located right beside the window which has pink cherry blossom printed curtain tied on side of it; beside the comfy bed is my personalized cherry desk with pictures of me, my parents and my brother Miyori on top of it; at the right corner of my room is the study table with the hanging shelf a meter above it and at the left corner is my closet and beside that is the bathroom door.
Everything around me is light pink mixed with green. When I realized the time, I hurried off the bathroom and took a bath. After that, I comb my hair and wear our school uniform which truly fits me. It is composed of a white long sleeved blouse; a navy blue vest which hugs my curves and has a small pocket in its left breast part and on top of it is the logo of my school, Alice Academy; navy blue necktie paired with an above-the-knee checkered blue skirt; knee-high socks with the school logo on both of its side and; a pair of doll-like black shoes.
I skipped down the stairs and greeted my Mom and older brother, "Good morning Mom! Morning bro!" "Good morning, sweetie," replied Mom. "Morning kaiju... Dad's gone to work already if you wonder." said Miyori, my loving brother. He knows me well. Guess that's what sibs are for. I've only seen Dad last night after a very long time; I thought I could be with him today, eating breakfast. But I guess that won't happen.
My mind was deeply thinking about Dad so I didn't react when he called me ugly monster. He is 3 years older than me. He looks like a replica of our father; muscle toned body, lightly tanned skin, black hair...they differ in the eyes though; he has black orbs while Dad's brown. He is currently in Princeton University taking Medicine, while he manages our company. He visits us at least twice a year though. It's still their vacation so he's with us until next month, two weeks away.
After breakfast, I kissed my mom and hugged my brother and ran out of the house waving them goodbye. I am Mikan Sakura known as Sakura Tsukino (my pen name). I need to disguise myself as a simple commoner to protect me and my family from danger. At first, I was against that disguising thing but then my Mom told me that it's for our own good. She told me that I've received a death threat once, even though I don't remember anything, and they're just being cautious.
We're living three blocks away from school at Ichigo Street, in a two-storey house with green roof, with my mom and both my brother and dad, only if they're here. I have a long brunette hair but not as long as my mom's which reached her waist. My skin is pale white and I have long curly eye lashes which perfectly matched my two bright hazel orbs. I'm a senior student of Alice Academy. After high school I plan to study medicine too but probably it won't be my course to take. Well anyways, there's only one thing I know; I still don't know the original me.
— NORMAL POV—
The blooming green leaves of tall trees from summer are now falling due to the upcoming autumn. The bright summer's sun shine was gone, and here comes the breeze of autumn. Leaves were scattered all around the street ground and the birds were singing happily in the branches of trees while the others were gathering twigs and worms. People in town were cheerfully opening their stores expecting early customers.
Mikan was walking down the street greeting everyone on her way, from Mrs. Browns of the bakery to Mr. Saeto of the junk shop. "One block to go, Alice here I come!" she said merrily. Satisfaction is visible in her eyes. The brunette girl was about to cross the road when…
—- MEANWHILE —-
A 19-year-old boy was running as fast as he can on Gilderoy Street just beside the Hanford's. He's being chased by three black-suited felons. Sweats dropped from his face due to his exhaustion from running for 5 minutes now. From the distant, he saw a corner around the street on the left side that gave him a brilliant idea. He mentally knocked his head three times for not thinking about that escape earlier.
— His POV— (running 19-yr-old boy)
"Aren't they tired yet?' cause I'm tired already." I looked back and saw that they're a bit far from me now. I looked back to the direction where I'm going and saw the thing I needed the most to escape from them. I'll get you lost.
As I turned at the corner, I bumped to something or I should rather say someone. By instinct, I grab hold of that someone. When I turned to look to see who that person is, I was mesmerized by her beauty. Thus, I embraced her more to keep her from falling and to hide ourselves to those people running after me... or is it just I like the feeling of her close to me.
Loud footsteps were heard right beside the wall we're leaning on. I panic for a second but then I heard one of them say, "I think we lost him, our boss would surely scold us again," which confirmed that there's someone behind this all. I looked at the girl again and saw her eyes tightly close. I sighed from relief. She caught me staring at her when she suddenly opened her eyes. I felt numb for a second. I was amazed by her round brown eyes. I released her from my arms and netted myself as neat as possible.
I broke the silence between us first, "I uh, I'm sorry for what happened…"
"It's alright, at least nothing bad happened, right?" she replied with a warm smile. Then she added, "Looks like you're being chased…' Oh, I got to go now… bye!" she ran away as she bid goodbye to me. "Wait!" I tried to stop her but she's far enough to not hear me. I didn't even have your name. I glanced at my watch, "Oh crap, I'm late for school…" then hurried off to the place I'm heading.
— Mikan's POV—
I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the guy's handsome face. Red lips, ruby orbs. Finally, he let go of me. I'm still a bit puzzled about what had happened but then he spoke. He was saying sorry for what happened and that's the time I had a good view at his whole figure, from his face down to his feet. Somehow, a great relief and joy is visible in his eyes.
He's about a half feet taller than me. I noticed we both have the same uniform except that he's wearing a white coat instead of just plain blue vest. I replied at him and was about to ask about the incident but when I glanced at my watch, I saw that I'm about to be late if I don't hurry up. I bid goodbye to him and run towards the school, while my mind is still set on him.
— NORMAL POV—
Class will start at exactly 7am. 2 minutes left before the school bell ring which signals the start of the classes. The brunette girl ran as fast as she could to get to her classroom. She run passed the gate, greeted the guards a good morning, and then quickly went up the stairs to the 3rd floor, and finally her classroom. The 7-A class is the first room located at the third floor of the Special Class Building. The school bell was heard in every corner of the room as she opened the classroom door.
"Good morning everyone!" she greeted her classmates and find her a seat near the window, her favorite part of the room. The teacher came in holding piles of folders and papers. "Good morning class," greeted Mr. Narumi.
"Today's the first day of classes and I hope that each and everyone of you will enjoy this school year… our upcoming events will be announced tomorrow so for now, let's start our lesson." Several groans and murmurs were heard from the students. The day went on like that until…
