Chapter one:
The New Transfer Students
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room!"
*Flashback*
"Onee-chan! Wake up!"
"….Ugh….Just one more minute mom…."
"Snap out of it! I'm serious! We are going to be late for the opening ceremony!"
Oh no. I totally forgot about it. Today was the first day of school and I overslept. Great. Just Great . I t was probably because of what happened yesterday. Well, Ami, who you could have guessed is my younger sister, was all night getting fussed over what style of hair she was supposed to do for today. She even got me into this mess! Did I mention that my sister is really popular at school? But she is sometimes so-o-o overly dramatic. Like one time she said:"Mom! Let me buy a new dress. All my dresses are from million years ago!"I guess you couldn't stand it either if your sister was like that. Oh yeah. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Hinamori Amu, my classmates see me as a " cool & spicy " character. I'm fairly good at art, cooking and sports but I'm pretty good at playing the piano and some other instruments. Anyway, I eventually woke up because I did NOT want to be late again for school like I did last time. You don't want to know what they did to me when I was late even just for a minute. Ugh. That day is still haunting me up until now.
I was rushing up and down the stairs trying to brush my teeth, comb my hair, wash my face, and prepare my school uniform and stuff like that. When I was finally done, I looked at the clock. It showed"7:00AM". Damn! About 10 to 15 minutes left and I'll be late! I grabbed a piece of toast and ran for my life.
"Wait! Don't take off yet!" I said when the bus departing already.
My sister took off earlier than I did because apparently one of her friends in school promised to get her a ride from our house to the school. Well at least the bus driver noticed me and he stopped just in time.
"Where to?" He said.
"Seiyo Academy." I replied.
I stared outside the window as the bus was smoothly passing by the road. In just a minute's time the bus was already near the gates of my school. Again I looked at the time. "7:12AM" it said. 2 minutes left and I'm going to be late! Gosh no, not that! Anything but that!
I dashed out of the bus. I would've got to school earlier but I suddenly accidentally bumped into a person.
"Itai….ah! Gomenasai !" Ouch. That hurt. I bumped my head into some guy standing right in front of me.
"…Get out of here."Such a rude tone. The nerve of him!
"Ugh I don't have time for this!" I looked up and saw a purple-haired guy (I think or whatever you call it) standing right above me. But I didn't care anyway so I left without another word. To think there's a person as rude as him!
*Seats beside her friends in the ceremony*
"Hey Amu you're just in time!"said my friend Rima.
"You're lucky that you weren't late this time!"Utau proclaimed.
"Yeah yeah so what's new?" I replied.
"Well, there's been a rumour of about 2 new transfer students! Isn't it exciting?" Yaya told me.
"Well if you must know-"I was abruptly stopped when somebody spoke up.
"Ohaiyo Gozaimasu Minna-san!"exclaimed Ran, our school's student council president.
"I'm here to say that welcome back again everyone! Did you guys enjoy your summer break? Today there's some exciting news I'd like to share with you guys! There are 2 new transfer students and so here they are! Come out and introduce yourselves!"
*sfx clapping of hands*
*A boy comes out of the blue*
"Hello everyone. I am Tadase Hotori. Today onwards I will be studying at this school. Please take care of me." He said this with a prince –like tone. I don't even know why it seems like some giant spilled glitter all over him.
"Kyaa~~~~~~!" most of the girls shouted.
"I think I'm going to like school these days!" one of the girls proclaimed.
"I wonder if he's single?"
"Don't know. But it's better to try right?"
Oh my gosh spare my ears! I think they're going to bleed just because of the swooning and the screaming!
"Okay everybody settle down. Please welcome the other transfer student who's going to be studying here."
*Silence*
"Hello? Wait for a second guys." She rushed to the back stage and everybody started murmuring again.
"I wonder who the second transfer student was?"
"Could he be lost on the way to school?"
"Not possible. If it was like that, he could've asked for directions. I mean, our schoolIS well-known."
"Hey guys I was about to tell you-" Right. Let them speak whenever they want. You just HAD to interrupt me when I'M speaking.
"Umm…guys? Yeah well there has been a delay. You may now go to your respective classrooms. Room numbers are already posted outside. Please go outside orderly and try not to make noise so much. Thank You!"
"What was that all about?" Miki asked.
"Don't really know. C'mon! Let's check our room numbers! Maybe we'll get lucky and be in the same one!" Su said.
*After a while…."
"All right! Maybe we ARE all that lucky after all! "
"Yeah…" I smiled. But actually, I was like all YES! Suddenly, I spotted the name Hotori Tadase. Hmm…It's him huh? Well hopefully my ears won't bleed again.
*sfx Ring!*
"Good morning class I am your homeroom teacher. You can call me Oshiro-sensei. Now if I call your name please stand up and say 'Present!'."
*After a while*
"Let's see… Tsukiyomi Ikuto? Tsukiyomi? Hmm…It seems that he's not here. Okay let's move on to the next one…"
I wonder, is this so-called Ikuto the other transfer student? I hope he isn't the person who I just bumped into a while ago…he's got a nasty attitude…that damn person makes me want to kick him in the shin!
*Classes are over….on the way home with Ran, Miki and Su…*
Amu's POV
"Hayzzz….There are lots of homework to do…I wish there was summer ALL the time…"I said with a sigh.
"Don't let school make you so down. Cheer up a bit! I mean, you could still play the piano when you get bored, right?" Ran exclaimed.
"Yeah, I mean school isn't THAT boring isn't it? If there wasn't school, I could have never even met you guys!" Miki said.
"Well, I guess I take back what I said, thanks. You guys really lightened up my spirits! I can't believe I'm so lucky to have such good friends!"
We all laughed. We were having so much fun until we had to go different directions. We all said our goodbyes and departed. Before I knew it I was already on the doorstep of my house.
"Tadaima!" I greeted once I got home.
"Welcome back onee-chan!" My little sister Ami replied.
"Go take a shower and by then dinner will be ready Amu."My mom said.
"Hai!"
*sfx Taking a shower*
"Ah…It's so refreshing!"
Suddenly, I saw a guy that came through my room's window. I was about to shout out "Mom, Dad , a stranger is in my room!" until that guy predicted what I was going to do and then ran up to me and covered my mouth. Like any kid would do, I just bit him as hard as I could just to let me go, but he wouldn't budge, not until a few minutes passed and he looked out of the window again.
*End of flashback*
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room!"
"…"
Just then I realized it was the same person which I bumped into a while ago, I wonder if he could be….
"Are you Tsukiyomi Ikuto…?"
"And I believe you are…?"
"Hinamori Amu. I'm in the same class as you, but I don't know why you didn't go to school yesterday even though you were already outside the school gates."
"I hate school. I hate parties, I hate everything. Why bother when you don't want to?"
"But don't you like have any friends?"
"I don't know. I hang out with some guys time to time but I don't really count them as my 'friends'."
I had a million questions in my mind that time, but I remembered the one that's really important.
"Enough about this. I demand an explanation! What are you doing in my room? "
"Well. You see, the Tsukiyomi household is indeed wealthy, and today we were invited to a party at some high class restaurant. I didn't want to go, so I secretly escaped the house, but some time later a maid spotted me and called the guards. I ran. Until I was in a dead end and so here I am. Not much of an explanation really."
"But-"
"Amu! Dinner's ready! Are you done taking a shower?"
Oh no. I forgot about my family! I've got to get this person out of this house quickly before anyone spots him. Ugh. Why does my life have to be so complicated?
"Ikuto, listen to me. You have to get out of here or else my mother or any other person of my family will see you. They might call your parents—or worse, the cops."
"So what's the plan?"
"Uhh…"
I didn't know what to do. So I did the best I could. That is-hiding him in a closet. Not my wardrobe. No way would I let him in there.
"Do NOT go out of there unless I say so, got it?"
"Fine."
"Amu, are you coming or not? The food's getting cold!"
"Coming mom!" I replied going down the stairs.
*Ikuto's POV*
Right. Well THANKS for just stuffing me into a closet. Now what am I supposed to do? Geez. Anyway, I am Tsukiyomi Ikuto. My family owns lots of riches and I play the violin. Today I transferred into some school named Seiyo Academy. This would probably be my 6th school I've transferred into because I have had bad reputations on the last ones. Hey, what can you say to a person that is kind of like a delinquent? So, I just stepped out of the closet once they were gone. Then I noticed something that caught my eye.
"She owns a piano huh? I wonder if she could play well. Yeah right. What was I thinking? "
*Amu's POV *
I was eating vigorously today at dinner. I probably shouldn't have done that because I noticed my whole family staring at me and raising eyebrows at each other. It's not my fault that a guy suddenly appears in my room, right?
"Uh, Amu dear? Are you feeling alright?" My mother said dearly.
"Yeah, just a little bit hungry. Ehehe…" Of course I'm not alright! Why wouldn't I be?
"You know you could tell us anything if there was something wrong onee-chan. We would always listen to whatever is in your mind." Awh…thanks sis! That's why I love my family.
"Oh nothing's wrong. I'm done eating; can I go to my room now?"
"Are you in a bit of a rush? I never expected you to be in a hurry. Usually you'd say 'More please!' or 'I wish our sensei didn't leave us so much homework!'." She chuckled.
"I'm just eager to play the piano that's all. Plus, I need to ask my friends about today's homework." I lied.
"Sure. Well be sure not to goof-off!"
"I won't!" Or at least I can't.
I dashed into the room. I was surprised when he was out of the closet, or maybe I was more frustrated than surprised after all.
"Why didn't you stay in the closet like I told you so?"
"You're not the boss of me."
"Ugh. Just get out of here. I have lots of homework to do and I don't want it to be delayed."
"But first, let me hear you play the piano." He smirked.
"Whatever. But go once I'm done."
I played a complicated song that is the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2, by Beethoven, popularly known as the Moonlight Sonata. He was impressed in my skills; although in my mind I really wanted him to go.
"Nice. I never would have expected."
"Nobody could be as perfect as you." I said in an ironic tone. "Can you please get out now?" I was getting impatient.
"Until we meet again, Amu."
Once he was gone, I was so relieved it was over already. But, I didn't expect that it was late already! And I have so much homework to do! No-!
*Ikuto's POV *
"I think I'm going to like this girl."
I returned to the Tsukiyomi's household; expecting that the party was over. Once I knocked on the door, I was ambushed by my own sister, Utau.
"Onii-chan! Why didn't you go to the party today? It was no fun without you!"
You see, I'm not actually related to her. It's just that mother died when I was born, so my dad remarried again; turns out that she already had a daughter. All I can say is, she's annoying.
"Don't want to."
"Eh-? Why not?"
"Don't need to ask."
"Oh well. There are leftovers in the fridge if you want. Where did you go anyway?"
"Nowhere special. If you don't mind, I'll be in the music room."
"Can I hear you play?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please-? She pleaded. I would've said no but she was so annoying I had to give in.
So I practiced my violin as I watched the day go by. After a while Utau was already sleeping. I carried her to her room and watched her sleeping face.
"You're such a pain in the neck. But I guess you're still my sister."
"Maybe I should start going to school for a change, I might find something interesting, especially that Amu girl. I think my life's going to change."
