"Welcome, welcome! Everyone, meet your target at hand" an ominous voice spoke over you. You shivered, wrapped in your white simple sheets, given to you by your parents, and looking up at the body as you tried to figure out what was happening. You seemed like you were in a nightmare, a horrible horrible nightmare that must end or you would be driven mad! The voice looked at you with a smug smirk, teasing you about how scared you were.

pitter….pitter...pitter..pitter!

Did you feel that? that was your heart sa you realized, you couldn't identify the voice since no one was able to be seen through the dark room you have locked yourself in. Terrified now, you felt your heart beat so hard you thought your chest was going to explode.

"Just stay calm darling, nothing will harm you, we will be gentle"

"this is how you would scare her"

"Ah, look she is shaking, its cute~"

"Guys! lets go, we don't need the prize to be so scared already."

"...bye bye, lady"

Multiple voices had began to speak at once. ONe more cheery than the others, darker and some she couldn't even process. What was going on! You just jumped into bed after a stressful day and then. then….this

NO! You cannot get this scared in a stupid little...wait..was this even...you reach out, and towards the voice, only to wake up in a drowsy state. You feel your forehead, and you were sweating a storm. What just happened to you? Who were those people? and what exactly did they want with you!?

I moved to Japan for my fourteenth birthday. It was my dream, to move and explore the areas like I saw in the animes and in the dramas. Yes, I know, very stupid reasons were listed but just imagine, being a naive and easily excited girl who wanted to move to the place that she admired. Then, getting the chance to, wouldn't you take it? Most would say no, unless others would watch them over, and that is what I thought, but here was the thing that actually got me to go. It was the fact I had a scholarship that ran me to college as long as I went to a prestigious academy. The academy was meant for gifted students, students with abilities that no one can go against. Now, I of course went after hearing that I was special, and within days, i regretted that decision.

I was barely talking to any kids, I didn't understand the language as well as others did, it was too strange. How fast these students from Britain were merely looking up and then speaking fluently though I was positive that all of us came at the same time. But, with time, I did end up making some friends, like a very gifted cook, her name is Miyori. She is the same age as me, had bouncy and lively pink curls and these huge yellow eyes. First, I thought they were fake, all of it! I mean who has those hair and eye colors, unless my life is an anime that has been normalized, but it turned out with a matter of tests, it was real and not fake whatsoever.

I also had met another person, sweet sweet Derek. Now, this may sound cliche, but he is the sweetest guy at the school towards me. You know, that one you don't mind being around and has an amazing personality that drives the others wild? Yep, i am friends with that one kid no one dislikes, nor really hates. It is quite funny though, we are an unlikely group of best friends. I, a blasian girl with brown eyes and ebony black hair that barely touches my shoulders, a girl with bouncy pink hair and yellow eyes that shine with excitement daily, and a calm and yet piercing blue eyed brunette with dazzling smile that drove the girls wild, would you expect us to be pawns in a game?

Anyways, I am going in a total opposite direction, let us get back on track now! Here I was, dressed up in our satin velvet school blazer, my phoenix pin attached to the side pocket that barely could fit anything. I adjusted the sleeve to be fully down, and not stop in front of my hands and roll over them, and of course I go and wear bicycle shorts underneath our school skirt, which only reached my mid-thigh. It was strange, usually I would be embarrassed but today was too much for me to even be embarrassed, I was a freshman now! I could feel my unusual pale face brighten at the thought of it. Spending the remaining time of my middle school year with those two and now we were going to the next part of the academy, the academy's middle ground, the most exciting from what I am told actually, the high school district. From rumors that had spread throughout the eighth graders, we heard that we would all be moving soon, and of course that had me going crazy inside!

So, with that in mind, I went with my chin up high and my mother's words always ringing in my ear, "Have fun and it's a brand new day."

"A brand new day" It was something I would chant to myself when I felt alone and I missed my family. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. I sighed lightly, walking down the nearby street where I was clashed into by a girl. Her hair had hit my face and knocked me down onto the floor. I swear, i could here my hip crack as I skidded across, only to be stopped by a boy with brown hair and his usual small smile.

"Sorrryyy~" Miyori chimed as she walked over to help me up. I laughed as she came over tripping over untied shoelaces and her bags full of culinary notes and books. I sighed as she finally made her way over, "Sorry Hailie, I saw you and just went for it and well." Her laugh sounded like bells that had been rung by angels. She was as well, a popular student at our school and I could even see why. She had a nice build and was yet still a very fragile looking girl. She was gorgeous, and she knew it. Oh she knew it, and she loved the attention, well until recently. She began to cry about how she wouldn't get attention from someone she wanted it from ever since they met. I have asked her so many times who it was and all she did was avoid the question, and I think it is derek though, the two would be cute.

"Hailie, you spaced out again." I earned a chuckled from our kind-hearted boy, who helped me up and dusted off my shoulders for me. With a smile, I thanked him.

"Sorry, I have just been out of it..you know?" I chirped. Derek just gave me a sad chuckle before handing me my bag. With a playful bow, I thanked him once more, this was a fun morning. On the way to the school, we talked about our summers. I went back to America with my family and we visited my friends and my family that were close by. I sharpened my drawing skills and did the extra science and engineering homework I was given over break, and it was time consuming.

Derek had his business classes, you know the ones that helped him succeed when he took over his family business, a huge company that had actually wanted me to be one of their engineers a couple weeks back. That was, before they knew my age and my ties with Derek. I turned it down, to their dismay, and ended up getting an earful from Miyori over the phone.

Miyori went on about her trip to Paris and how amazing the food was. We were all kind of jealous, she ate snails as we ate burgers...so jealous man. It was funny and yet exciting to be with these two again, it felt like it was the first time in forever.

I sighed lightly as I waited to hear my name being called. It was time to get into our lines for the opening of our school, well more like our entrance ceremony if I am correct. I was bored already, just sitting there with nothing to do and my hands were twitching like they did while I was anxious. It was right before I was going to lose it that the best student in our school moved to the stage and began to huge speech or such. Luckily for me, i sat near a couple of people who had been practicing their English and translated the whole speech, though i heard they now are in detention, a shame.

We walked out, in lines, and made our ways to the homeroom class where we would spend the rest of the day. I sat down in the middle section, near the back and listened soundly to the teacher. She looked young and vibrant. Her brown wavy hair had reached her mid-back and her long curls of bangs was side cut ever so carefully to make her look like a doll. A porcelain doll to be exact, she looked that fragile but amazingly was very strong and kind. With a teacher like that, maybe I would have a better year than expected, just maybe. As the names were called, I heard similar names, Derek Waterslove, and Miyori Ichinose, and broke out in laughter. What were the odds of all of us stuck in a classroom together!

Derek saw me and chuckled, he began to make his way over and caused girls and some guys to swoon. Strangely enough, he sat next to me and we only had to exchange a couple glances to understand that he was happy he wasn't alone this time. We waited for clumsy little Miyori, who was now jumping up and down and clapping her hands, to sit down.

"Omgomogmomg! Now all of us can be like those kids in those anime shows that hang out all the time~ and then. We can make a love triangle and the-"

"Shhhhh." Derek and I said in unison. I rubbed my forehead and laughed at her, while Derek opened his book and chuckled, "Come on Miyori, life isn't a manga/anime, I mean that is what Hailie thought."

"Hey! , leave me alone I was younger.."

"Like two three years dummy."oh yes, this was derek. I laughed before playfully hitting the boy and trying to get the smug look off of his face.

"Just wait Derek, I'm going after you next. " and with that, our class started.

((Ok ok so there will be skips like in any anime you know

So just deal please, I am working on everything so..))

I headed down the aisles and the corridors to get to my house as soon as possible. She was so excited! Learning from the homeroom teacher, Nicole Luighseach, that they will be moving and this was a temporary stay for the day made me feel so energetic! I ran from my after school activities, drawing, band and that dance class I was coaxed into and ran. The moment I got the steps of my house, I rushed to get my clothes, my wallet and of course my inventory in all to move. I packed it all up in neat piles in boxes and in less than three hours I finished. "Finally", I cried as I fell backwards onto my couch and looked up at the blank roof. It wasn't colored, just like the rest of the house. A plain white, just like me. Nothing special, and nothing different, just white. I sighed, raising raising a hand to my head, I checked the time; it was about ten going to eleven! I needed to sleep soon or else something bad could happen! I ran to my shower and took a bath, bubble bath to be exact, and I fell asleep on my bed like before.

"Well well well, the darling little child sleeps peacefully tonight, for now "

On the plane, I sat next to . I would glance up at at the teacher, and noticed the strange things that mesmerized me about her. That a, her husband was a very rich man and that she hates to use his money, so she gets jobs, and the fact her eyes were a warm and silky honey yellow, a totally different one from little Miyori. It was beyond calming to stare into her eyes, and then finishing it with her dazzling smile, she must have been popular. On the way to to our destination, I learned she was also modest.

The students had complimented her looks and she only thanked them and blushed. It was cute I admit, but also funny since she was what, eighteen? Almost our age. You guys should have more trivia shouldn't you?

-Nicole was married at eighteen

-she use to be her cheer captain

-her special ability is her eyesight.

We talked briefly afterwards and finally we made it to the destination. An island that had been reserved for this school itself. It was beautiful! ! The royal red bricks that had created the castle like building was astonishingly older than I expected. It was a beautiful nevertheless, and I totally felt the awe effect hit me when we were introduced to a private city that had been built for the students. In there, would be our living quarters.

Later

I sat there on my new white couch, in my sleek and newly decorated home. It was an apartment, sized to fit five people, and now that I unpacked, I ended up having blue roses decorate the shelves, old pictures and small little knock knacks run through the halts. My little desk area was already in place and all I did then was basically take a nap, after locking my door.

Next morning

I woke up to a "baa". My eyes fluttered to the sound and I thought I was hearing things. Looking around, I saw no one, saw nothing, but a basket full of animals..adorable little animals. Animals, that did not belong to me..
