Chapter 0: Prologue

She stood up and smiled at the applause she was receiving. Not because she enjoyed the attention, no... She was actually pretty reserved. She smiled because of the thought that she was doing Him good by playing here. She stared out at the churchgoers and a warm, fuzzy feeling enveloped her heart. 'Yes,' she thought, 'I'm doing this for Him! For God!' She sat back down when Lin, the bandleader, motioned at her that they still had one song to go. Mimi sighed and smiled as she picked up her faithful acoustic and they began to play the last song of the night. Her fingers flowed flawlessly over the strings for what seemed like the millionth time and she reveled in the feeling. 'This isn't heaven, but it's pretty darn close!' She almost giggled at the thought as they finished. The crowd started applauding, standing this time. She blew them all a kiss and walked off the stage. She sighed heavily. 'Time for homework...' She glanced over and smiled as Lana, her BFF, ran over and nearly tackled her into a hug.

"E-Easy, Lana!"

"No way, you guys rocked harder than ever!"

They both giggled and walked towards the door. Lana sighed.

"I wish it wasn't the last night of this... I always have so much fun..."

"I know, but... Everything is planned out, you know." Mimi gave her friend a friendly smirk and they left. They walked for a while, talking about life and boys they thought were 'pretty cute.' Mimi sighed sadly. No guys ever took interest in her plain figure...

They got to the street sign and hugged before parting ways.

"Hyaah!"

The boy in his oddly colored fencing outfit lunged forward and managed to hit with enough force that his opponent's rapier was sent flying backwards. He smiled under the mask after the judge confirmed his win. He took the mask-helmet combo off and his short lime-green locks flipped down and surrounded his face. He offered his hand, and his opponent gladly shook it, both offering a friendly smile.

"Good match. I thought you had me."

"You kiddin' Earl? NO ONE here can beat you. You're just... You're too damn good at this."

Earl scoffed lightly and smirked. "Maybe compared to you."

His bluenette opponent feigned a glare. "Hey, hey! Watch it, buddy!"

They both laughed and headed to the locker room. Earl yawned and slipped back into his street clothes. "God, I'm exhausted..." They waved to each other and Earl walked out, his bag hoisted over his shoulder. 'SO glad tomorrow's Thursday... I get a day off from kickin' ass." He laughed out loud, receiving strange looks from the people still out. 'But then, there's school... And I'll get to see-'

*SMACK!*

*SMACK!*

"Oof!"

"Ow!"

The two bodies crumbled after running straight into each other.

Mimi looked up, rubbing a spot on her head. "O-Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! She rushed over and helped the dazed boy up. "Are you okay- Oh... H-Hi, Earl... I'm sorry..." She quickly picked Earl's bag up, earning a laugh from the slightly blushing fencer.

"N-No, Mimi, It's alright. Really." He took the bag from her and slung it back over his shoulder. "Um... Jeez, I gotta watch where I'm going... Uh, are you alright?" His hand trailed over her head, searching for any wounds. "Well... You seem to be okay. Want me to, um... W-Walk you home or... Something...?"

She shook her head and smiled, ruffling his hair. "No, I'll be okay. Thank you, though."

'...Did she really just mess with my hair?' "Well... Okay, then, I guess... See you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, of course." She flashed him a smile before running toward her house, completely oblivious to the young green-headed boy's feelings for her.

'...I'm such an idiot...' He walked toward his house, sighing and mentally slapping himself in the face.
