Chapter 1
*I don't own any CLAMP characters*
(Akira's POV)
I came into the council office with the tea and snacks just like on any other day. The only difference was that today, Suoh and Nokoru seemed to be distant, almost ignoring me. As I bring in the snacks they thank me, take some and continue working.
I have never told anyone this, but sometimes I feel as though they only keep me around for my cooking. I thought that I was wrong, but lately, they haven't talked to me as much and every time I come in, they just look at me and continue what they had been doing. I just ignored it at first, but the more they do it, the more it hurts me.
I keep all of these feelings inside and just smile and act normally, but I can't help it, I feel like I just can't do anything anymore. One Friday I mentioned it to Utako, but she said I must be imagining it because they cared for me and thought I was very helpful. I told her she must be right but, I thought that she was wrong and they didn't need me much anymore.
My suspicions were confirmed when the following week they didn't even acknowledge my presence; they just took the tea and snacks and went back to work. I realized that I was no longer needed and it really hurt.
When I got home I talked to my mother's about it and they agreed to move to another place; maybe CLAMPS sister school in America. The following day I went to the chairlady's office. "I'm sorry, but may I please transfer to CLAMPS sister school in America? I don't feel like I belong here anymore." I told her.
She looked surprised but then she asked, "I am sorry to hear this, and if my record is right your birthday is coming up."
"Yes, and I was going to have a fun party here with my friends, but… Well, things changed. Please don't tell Nokoru or Suoh about this until after I leave here."
"Very well. Here" she stamped and approved a transfer document and said, "You will start there after Christmas break. I will arrange a flight for you."
"Thank you very much. This means a lot to me." I left her office and felt a little better knowing I would make new friends, but I still felt horrible that I would be leaving all my friends here, especially Utako.
The next day the chairlady told me that my flight was in a week, when Christmas break started, I would have a few weeks to relax and get to know the school a little before I had to start. I told my mother's and we finished all our packing early, all that was left was our beds, clothes, and anything we were going to take with us on the flight.
I went through the days as normally as possible, but felt a little anxious about leaving. When the day of our flight finally came, I left right after school was over to get the last of my things from my desk, I had been taking things home all week, and then left for home.
When I got there, my mother's were waiting in a car that would take us to the airport; they had already packed my things. I climbed inside and we left everything behind. Soon, we arrived at the airport and after going through security, we boarded and started on the long flight to our new home, I didn't know how to feel about this so I just spent the flight looking trough the school's brochure's.
When we landed we found our bags, and headed to the car that would take us to our new home. This is for the best, I told myself, but I don't know whether I believed it or not, but I knew one thing, this was going to be my new home, starting today.
