Wheels of Fate

Episode 1
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.000.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
There were large chandeliers hanging on the wide ceiling, lightening the hall. There were several different expensive foods and drinks lay on long rectangular tables. Many people were present. They were all wearing masks. It was a masquerade ball, obviously. But there's someone who had caught my attention. She was wearing a blue mask with a blue rose attached on the side. Her long beautiful auburn hair reached until the middle of her back and her eyes, her dazzling amber eyes which could melt any person whom she looked at, captivated me the most.
"Natsume! Natsume!" a voice shouted while shaking the lad's body.
Natsume groaned.
"Wake up." a blonde boy with blue eyes commanded.
"Tch. That dream again." the raven haired lad grunted as he sat up on his bed.
"Dream? Oh, you've dreamt about her?" the boy asked.
Natsume nodded.
"Seriously, Natsume. You've been having that dream ever since you were fourteen. It's been haunting you for two years already!"
"I know Ruka but I'm not getting tired of that dream."
"But you still haven't met the girl right?" Ruka asked.
"No." Natsume answered.
"Why don't you hire someone to find her? With all your money, I'm sure you'll find her in no time." Ruka suggested.
"No thanks." Natsume declined.
"Why?"
"I'm not interested."
"Oh, really?" Ruka teased.
Natsume glared at his best friend.
"I can't believe you're not doing anything. What if the girl you've been dreaming of for two years is the one destined for you?"
"Shut up Ruka or do you want me to make you shut your mouth instead?" Natsume threatened.
"Okay, okay, fine. I'll zip my mouth." Ruka surrendered. "Anyway, I've heard that we have new dorm mates."
"So?"
"They're all girls."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.000.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"I hate this idea. Of all schools, why here?" asked a gorgeous auburn haired lass with big amber eyes. She, together with her three friends, was currently standing in front of grand humongous gates.
"Mikan, this is the tenth time I'm going to tell you. We're here because Hotaru's parents decided to transfer her here." explained a pretty girl with long blue hair and dark blue eyes.
"And because we're all best friends, we followed her." a cute pink-haired girl with blue eyes added.
"I don't like this academy too 'cause it's filled with idiots but they forced me to transfer." a beautiful lass with short black hair and purple eyes said nonchalantly.
"Yeah but…" Mikan, the auburn haired girl, tried to argue but her voice trailed off.
Her friends knew the reason why she didn't like the academy so they immediately tried to comfort her.
"Mikan…" the blue haired girl started but she was cut off by a feminine looking man with blonde hair and purple eyes.
"Hello my dears!" the man happily exclaimed as he opened the gates and danced towards them. He was wearing a flamboyant outfit.
All girls looked at him as if he was crazy.
"I'm Narumi L. Anju. I'm your new homeroom teacher." he introduced.
"Oh, nice to meet you sensei! I'm-"
"Anna Umenomiya. Yes. Nice to meet you too." Narumi cut her off. "And you're Nonoko Ogasawara, Mikan Sakura and Hotaru Imai."
"How did you know our names?" Mikan asked.
"Well as I said, I'm your homeroom teacher. Of course I should know the names of my students." Narumi explained. "Anyway, welcome to Alice Academy. I'll be taking you to your dorm."
He started to walk and the four girls followed. There weren't many students roaming in the campus but the girls still got the stares from them. Girls were whispering while boys had hearts on their eyes and some of them were drooling. Well, there's no denying it. The girls were indeed gorgeous.
Before anything could happen, I would like to introduce to you first the girls involved.
Nonoko Ogasawara. 16. Heiress to the Ogasawara Laboratories, the third largest laboratory in Japan.
Anna Umenomiya. 16. The only daughter of the two renowned chefs in the world. Their family owned twenty bake shops and eleven restaurants all over the world.
Hotaru Imai. 16. A famous genius and inventor in Japan despite her young age, the youngest daughter of the owners of Imai Hospitals and Techno Corporations.
And lastly, Mikan Sakura. 16. Second daughter of the owner of a well-known spa and parlor in Japan.
After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived at their destination.
"I'll be leaving you here. You'll be in Class B and your lessons will start tomorrow. Don't be late!"
And with that, Narumi waved goodbye and left. The girls stared at their new home. It's a wide (really wide) three-story building.
Hotaru was about to open the door but Mikan stopped her.
"Wait!" she shouted and started rummaging through her bag.
"What is it now?" Hotaru hissed.
Mikan brought out a baseball cap and thick dorky glasses. She tucked her hair in the cap, hiding her long silky auburn locks and put her glasses on, covering her stunning amber orbs.
"What are you doing Mikan? Since when did you start to like wearing disguises?" Nonoko asked.
"Since now." Mikan answered.
"Oh my gosh Mikan! You look like a boy! No! You look like a nerd criminal!" Anna exclaimed frantically, her hands covering her opened mouth.
"Why are you wearing that? Take those off." Hotaru commanded.
"Sorry but I would like to wear this from now on." Mikan said firmly.
"What are you up to?" Hotaru asked, narrowing her eyes on her.
"Nothing." Mikan replied.
"Is it because of her?" Hotaru asked again.
"I told you it's nothing." Mikan insisted.
Nonoko and Anna looked at each other and then looked at their friend with worried faces. Mikan ignored them and turned the handle as the door opened.
CRASH!
They were welcomed by a horrible scene. The hallway was messy. Plates and foods were flying everywhere. One plate came to them but Hotaru swiftly fired it with her newly improved bazooka. Everyone who was present in the hallway turned their attention to the girls.
"Hotaru, how did you manage to pack a large bazooka?" Anna asked.
"Are weapons even allowed here?" Nonoko added.
"I think not but if it's Hotaru, well, anything's possible." Mikan shrugged.
"Oh! You're the newcomers! Welcome!" exclaimed a handsome guy with a blue star under his left eye. He has dark blue hair and eyes. He was wearing a hat, white long sleeves shirt, blue skinny jeans and brown shoes. He ran towards the girls and wrapped his arms around their shoulders.
Mikan quickly shook his arm.
"Woah. What's up with the get-up?" the guy asked as he noticed Mikan.
Mikan just shrugged.
"Who are you?" Hotaru asked in a not-so-friendly manner.
"I'm Tsubasa Andou, a senior and the head of our dormitory." the guy named, Tsubasa, answered.
"Why is it so messy?" Nonoko asked, looking at the broken plates and foods which were scattered on the floor.
"Oh, it's the twins' doings." Tsubasa replied casually as if it's normal.
"Twins?" Anna asked curiously.
As if on cue, two identical boys jumped in front of them.
"Hey there newbies!" a spiky blond haired boy with brown eyes grinned.
"It's the first time we have girls in our dorm." said his twin who also has spiky blond hair. The only difference was he has squinted eyes.
"Meet the Yome brothers, Kitsuneme and Kokoro." Tsubasa introduced.
"First time? You never had girls before?" Mikan asked, ignoring the introductions.
"Apparently, yes." Tsubasa answered.
"Why? I thought this academy is coed?" she asked again.
"Well technically, yes but you see you were the only girls who passed the standards of our dorm." Tsubasa said.
"We have three dorms!" Kitsu exclaimed. "Misaki-senpai's the head of the first dormitory. They do karate. It consists mostly of males but there are also a few females like Misaki-senpai."
"The second is our dormitory and unfortunately, this perverted old man is our head." Koko snickered.
"Hey!" Tsubasa protested.
"Our dorm is filled with people who excel in sports." Koko continued, ignoring Tsubasa. "You have to be really good in order to live here and no girl has ever passed the standards except you guys!"
The girls nodded in understanding.
"What's the last dorm?" Nonoko asked curiously.
"Oh it's the lamest dorm, I tell you." Tsubasa said while the twins nodded in agreement.
"Rui Amane, ugh, I hate that guy. He's the head of the third dormitory. People in there are more into theatre and arts. Most girls live there." he explained.
"In every event of the academy, the three dorms always compete." Koko interrupted. "The winner gets a prize such as no home works for a month."
"Seriously?" Mikan uttered and he nodded.
"That's great!" Anna exclaimed happily while clapping her hands.
"Wait, so we're going to live with boys?" Mikan panicked.
"Don't worry. We wouldn't do anything to you." Koko smiled mischievously.
"You're smile doesn't seem reassuring." Mikan muttered.
"Here's a free warning. Don't get too close to the old man. His hobbies are women, girls and chicks." Kitsu whispered to Anna.
"Hey! I heard that! And babes! You forgot babes!" Tsubasa complained.
The twins snickered while Anna rolled her eyes.
"Fix your mess. I'm going to tour these lovely ladies." Tsubasa said as he put his arms around the girls' shoulders again and dragged them away.
"He's such a flirt." Kitsu stated while Koko chuckled.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.000.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Here's the living room." Tsubasa informed as he led the girls inside a spacious room with a rectangular glass table, sofas and a flat screen television.
"You have a TV?" Nonoko asked, surprised.
"Yes, only our dorm has one. We won that as a prize at last year's sports festival." Tsubasa replied.
"Oh, the newcomers had arrived already?" said a handsome tall man with brown hair who was currently sitting on the sofa together with a boy who was wearing a pair of glasses. He has large brown eyes and long eyelashes, short dirty blond hair which laid flat on his head with the bangs swaying to the right.
The boy who was wearing glasses stood up and walked towards them.
"Um, nice to meet you. I'm Yuu Tobita." he said shyly.
"Reo Mouri." the guy who has brown hair smiled and went back on watching.
"Okay. Let's go the canteen!" Tsubasa happily exclaimed and urged the girls to come.
"That four eyes was totally into you." Hotaru blurted out while they were on their way to their next destination.
"Who?" Anna asked.
"Me." Hotaru replied sarcastically.
"What!? Really?! He's into you?! Oh my gosh Hotaru! I'm so happy for you! Do you like him?!" Mikan exclaimed excitedly, apparently not picking up the sarcasm in her best friend's voice.
"It's Nonoko, idiot." Hotaru said impatiently.
"Me?" Nonoko asked, a little bit surprised. She pointed her finger at herself while Hotaru rolled her eyes.
"This is the cafeteria." Tsubasa interrupted. "This place connects all the three dorms."
"We're sharing the cafeteria with the others?" Mikan frowned.
"Sadly, yes." Tsubasa confirmed.
The girls scanned the cafeteria. It was definitely huge. Long tables and several chairs were present and there was even a chandelier hanging in the middle of the ceiling. Suddenly, their trance was interrupted when the twins appeared.
"I am HUNGARY!" Koko exclaimed while rubbing his stomach.
"You should CZECH the fridge. Maybe you will find some TURKEY." Kitsu suggested and they both went to the big refrigerator standing on the corner of the canteen.
"We have some but it's covered in a layer of GREECE." Koko said, faking a disgusted look.
"Ew, there's NORWAY you could eat that!" Anna interfered.
All eyes turned to her. There was a moment of silence.
"I think a can of CHILE would be good." she giggled, breaking the silence.
"That sounds appetizing! I would love a CANADA chile as well!" Kitsu grinned.
"Can you explain to me how we became friends with her?" Mikan muttered while Nonoko giggled and Hotaru just shrugged.
*PRINCESS IS CALLING. PRINCESS IS CALLING.*
"Oh, excuse me for a moment." Tsubasa said as he fished out a phone from his pocket and put it beside his ear.
"What the hell is that?" Mikan asked.
"His ringtone sucks." Hotaru said nonchalantly.
Tsubasa heard them but waved them off.
"Hello? Oh! Alexandria!" he shouted cheerfully.
A loud shout was heard from the other line and Tsubasa had to put his phone away from his ear to save his eardrums.
"Sorry. Is it Cloe?" he asked.
He put his phone away again as another shout was heard from the other line.
"Shh. Calm down. Of course you're my only princess. Yes, there's no one else. Life without you would be like a broken pencil. It would be pointless."
After a few minutes of flirting and saying sickly cheesy lines, he finally ended the call.
"Sorry girls, but I think I can't tour you anymore. I've got a date." Tsubasa winked.
"With the girl on the phone?" Anna asked.
"No. With… um… with… with, um… uh," he paused for a moment and said, "Now if you would excuse me I'll be going now." he said as he started to walk away. But before he could leave the cafeteria, he reminded. "Oh, there are two empty rooms on the second floor. You were already informed that you will share a room with another person right?"
The girls nodded.
"Okay then. Bye!" he gave them his last wink before storming off.
"Freakin' playboy." Mikan muttered.
A girl with dark green orbs and short dark green hair suddenly came in the cafeteria together with a raven haired girl. The two were eyeing the four girls in front of them. Mikan gasped as she recognized the dark green haired lass. She quickly lowered her cap to hide her face even though it was already covering her face in the first place.
"Am I drunk?" Koko abruptly asked out loud.
All stared at him.
"Why?" Kitsu grinned, playing along.
"Cause I suddenly find Sumire's face pretty." Koko smirked as he pointed at the girl with dark green locks.
"Why you…" Sumire raged.
Koko and Kitsu stuck out their tongues childishly before leaving.
"Get back here dumbass!" Sumire shouted angrily as she ran towards the twins while her friend followed suit.
"That was close." Mikan sighed in relief. "I didn't know that I would meet her right away."
"You don't have to hide from her, idiot." Hotaru said, still keeping her stoic face on, though there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Nonoko nodded in agreement.
"You already know why I'm doing this." Mikan said.
"You're too kind Mikan. You're a total opposite of your sister." Anna said.
Mikan smiled sadly and quickly changed the topic.
"I didn't know you love stupid jokes."
Anna blushed as Mikan giggled.
"Let's go check our rooms!" she happily suggested and walked away while Hotaru trailed behind.
Nonoko and Anna looked at each other then at Mikan's retreating figure. They both sighed and followed their best friends.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.000.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
BLOOPERS! (They have alices in the bloopers.)
READY, SET, ACTION!
"Natsume! Natsume!" a voice shouted while shaking the lad's body rather violently.
"Stop shaking me Ruka or I'll burn your stupid rabbit into ashes!" Natsume growled.
CUT!
.
READY, SET, ACTION!
They were welcomed by a horrible scene. The hall was messy. Plates and foods were flying everywhere. One plate came to them and….
"OH MY GOSH MIKAN-CHAN!" Anna cried as she knelt beside an unconscious brunette lying on the floor.
"Imai-san, why didn't you fire the plate with your bazooka?" Nonoko panicked.
"Why would I? It hit the right target." Hotaru said nonchalantly.
CUT!
.
READY, SET, ACTION!
"I think a can of CHILE would be good." Anna giggled, breaking the silence.
"That sounds appetizing! I would love a CANADA chile as well!" Kitsu grinned.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mikan bursted. "Oh my gosh! That's so funny! Haha! Sorry, I can't help it! A Canada chile! Haha! That's a good one!"
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Ouch! Hotaru!"
CUT!
I've already fixed the 'brunette' problem. I'm very sorry and thank you for correcting me. Anyway, I don't want to see any "cliche" review or any of that crap. I know this story is a cliche BUT it can only be judge if it's good depending on the course of events right? So why don't you give it a chance okay?
R&R!
