A Different Life

Chapter 1
The sound of ringing opened a pair of purple crystal eyes in the morning. An arm stretched out from under the covers to struck the high pitched ringing from the pink old-fashioned alarm clock. A moan came from the bed and then slowly 2 feet came out, followed by long legs. Wearing short-short pjs and an over-sized shirt, a girl with messy hair rose from bed, ready for a new adventure...Well a new start more like. She hopped into the shower and later on a girl with black, long, silky hair emerged from the bathroom. She was wearing the newest outfit in her wardrobe, her school uniform (a short black skirt with a white blouse, black collar with a red tie) She grabbed her school bag, a square brief case provided by her new school, and rushed down the two grand staircases. Into the kitchen she found her butler serving breakfast"Ah! Miss Yara, Good timing. I've just served breakfast! Shall you join Mr. Yara?" The butler asked.
"Um, sure but I'll just grab something to munch on." Miss Yara replied.
"You know, even if your parents aren't here in Tokyo, you still need a healthy breakfast!"
"Ergh, fine, is my brother already in the dinning room?"
"Yes, Mr. Yara is in the dinning room."
They both went through pale-green French doors and into the beige-orange dinning room where a young man with the same black hair and, instead of purple eyes, he had blue eyes, sat at a long dinner table. He was also attending the same school as his little sister, but in a higher grade. She was in grade 11, while he attended 12th.
"Mei! I never thought you'd ever wake up!" The young man exclaimed.
"Shut up. It was your fault; you always need to blast your music, don't you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, next time tell me, anyways...We're going to be late if we don't hurry!" Mei looked at her white-gold watch and looked back at her brother.
"Damn, I haven't even eaten!"
"Grab something!" They hurried to the front door, grabbed their shoes and were about to walk out when...
"Wait! Miss Yara, your breakfast!" The butler gasped for air.
"Tokoma, I'm already late!" She turned around to reply.
"That's why I put it in a lunch bag, here eat it on the way, miss" He handed the brown paper bag containing the meal.
"Fine! Alright first day, let's go…" She grabbed it and turned around to face Lee. "Lee?"
But he was already leaning against his car waiting for her.
"Have a nice day, Miss and Mr. Yara!" called Tokoma.
She jumped into the passenger seat and her brother drove to the gate, waited for it to open then drove off leaving tire marks.
"Hmm, you are siblings?" A man in his 50's grumbled.
"Yes sir," Replied Mei, who sat in front of the principal's desk next to her brother.
"Well then, I hope you two will be settled here!" He smiled and gave them their schedules and their late slip. He gave the directions and then they parted.
"You scared?" Her brother asked.
"No not really, you?" She replied and asked.
"No," He turned towards her and gave her a brotherly hug. "We part here, good luck and stay out of trouble." He walked up the stairs while she turned right to get to her class. Her brother had always cared for her, but rarely showed it. She never wanted to worry him, so she hid her feelings from him. In fact, she was frightened to start a new life in Tokyo without her beloved parents.
Whispers began when Mei stepped into the classroom. Well she is one of the most beautiful ladies, back in China. The rest of the classmates gave her the head to toe, scoffed and ignored her.
"So, you are Mei Yara?" The teacher had square glasses with her grey hair in a bun.
"Yes, miss…umm?" Mei stumbled.
"Katami, Mrs. Katami. I'm your History teacher, please sit wherever you like!" She looked around and found only one seat left, at the back of the class in the corner, next to the wall of windows. Mei spotted the only seat and paced towards it. She sat down and placed her books on her table. The guy next to her had red hair and eyes.
"Hey, I suggest you don't sit there, my buddy's going to be pissed when he comes." He leaned over towards Mei.
"Well there's only one seat left."
"Oh," He apologized and turned back to face the front.
When the bell rang, for the end of first period, everyone got up. A certain pink-haired girl walked over to her and placed her things on the desk in front of Mei.
"Hello! I'm Mariah! Welcome to Yokohoma High! Want to eat with me at lunch?" She asked.
"I have nothing to do at lunch, so yeah sure!" Mei replied with a smile.
"Well what's your next class?"
"Math," Mei answered while looking at her schedule.
"Who's your teacher?"
"Mr. Harashi. Is he any good?"
"Ew, no. I have him too" She smiled, "So wait for me outside the class and we'll go together!" Mariah smiled.
"Okay!" Mei smiled back.
They both left the class and then it was back to finding her class for Mei. She turned a corner and found her locker, settled her things in her locker, then locked it. She turned around and saw what she thought was a couple.
"Um, Kai…You want to go to the dance…with me?" A girl with black short hair asked.
"No," The two toned-hair said with some what a cold breath. She was a pretty girl until tears grew in her eyes then dropped carefully.
"How could you?!" Mei exclaimed, she knew it was none of her business but after just glancing at him, she was mad. The short-haired girl looked at her as if Mei was talking to her but then realized it was towards Kei.
"Excuse me?" Kai asked with a sharp tone.
"You heard me," She tightened her voice and the two-toned hair winced.
"You have a problem?"
"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do. How could you turn her down so cold?"
"You don't even know who I am!" The voices were rising in the hall.
"You probably think you're so great, but do I look like I care?"
"Then mind your own damn business." At this Mei winced at how the boy threw his words.
"Oh boo hoo, I'm hurt." She threw back sarcastically. "Now, answer my damn question!" By now everyone was watching them yelling in the halls.
"Alright, what was it? Oh yes, how could I turn her down so cold?" The short-haired girl was standing in the middle of the conversation, confused at why Mei defended her. "I don't need to answer it." He gave her a stare that made Mei's spine shiver, turned around and walked away.
The bell suddenly rand and Mei cursed. She was already late for her second class.
"That bastard had the nerve!" She said to herself. Mei quickly grabbed her books and ran to her next class.
Breathing heavily while she burst into the class, the teacher gave a small shout.
"What on earth is this? Who are you?" The short stubby man with barely any black hair left exclaimed. "Oh, you're that new girl, Mei Yara, right? Well I have information for you, lady. You are LATE! I absolutely HATE lateness. Oh but you're probably going to tell me that you couldn't find the class, I'll let this go this time, missy. But next time you will get detention for lateness. Don't disturb my class again, or waste my time, again." Mr. Harashi, who was the teacher, was nothing what Mei expected. "Quickly find a seat, I have no patience." She looked around and spotted a seat next to him, the two-toned freak.
They made eye contact and never stopped looking, even when Mei was walking towards her seat.
Asshole, Mei thought. Made me late, who does he think he is? She sighed under her breath.
Why is she looking this way? Kai thought, what the hell is wrong with her? Wait…she looks li-…
"KAI!" Mr. Harashi yelled. "Answer the question, Mr. Hiwatari!" He stumbled back onto all four legs of the chair.
At that, Mei giggled, freak.
