Singing! The Story Chapter 1
"Now please, introduce yourself." The teacher gestured. "U-um, my name is Mio Akiyama. Nice to meet you." Mio finally got out. She had been so excited, but when the time came she was nervous beyond belief. Before even the first term, Mio had received a letter saying that she had been chosen to go to the new school with grades 1-8, and had been jumping up and down. You could only be chosen if you had stellar grades and were recommended by 2 teachers, but the grade 1s were completely random. Sadly, the black-haired girl was a whole term late due to her parents' work, but she was still glad to be there. Her presence itself completed the sole grade 5 class, which made her feel special. As she took her assigned seat, the reality finally stuck. The dressy uniform she wore, the desk in front of her, and the learning experience to her were all her own belongings. She pushed back a few stray tresses to show off her perfect braids. It was going to be a great year. The bell for first recess rang in no time to Mio. It was going great.
But she didn't know that the happiness was already over.
She sat by the fountain in the middle of the schoolyard and looked up at the bright blue sky, thinking about what she would accomplish. "Hey!" The sharp voice cut through Mio's thoughts and she turned to her left. Two girls were walking towards her, actually, two brunettes. The one in the front had lighter and shorter hair, and a pearly white beret. The one in the back was slightly taller and wore crimson glasses. She wore her hair in two short braids that caused them to twirl out sideways, and her expression was full of sadness and guilt. 'Why?' Mio thought. The girl in the front stopped directly in front of Mio, and took a minute to take in every detail. She took a step back and spoke. "You're not in our class, so what grade are you in?" Mio glanced side to side before responding. "Grade 5." The girl smirked. "Hah, I thought you were in 7. Well, looks can be deceiving." She held out her hand. "Ritsu Tainaka." Mio put out her own hand to shake, but the other had different plans. She grabbed Mio's hand and twisted it to her left, and let go just before it'd cause Mio real damage. She stepped back to get away, grasping her injured hand. "Grade 8." Ritsu finished as she turned and walked towards two other girls, one blonde, and the other in braided twin-tails.
The one who had walked up to Mio stayed for another second before leaving. "Are you okay?!" She asked, extremely worried. "Mio held back as many tears as she could. "Y-yeah." The latter let out a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry. She's like that now. My name is Yui Hirasawa, Ritsu's classmate." Another grade 8! But before Yui left, Mio had another question. "Why were you following her?" Yui smiled. "Because she's my friend, and all she needs is my help and the others'!" Yui turned around and skipped over to her friends. The bell rang. Mio couldn't understand this. What just happened? "Mio!" She turned to see Yui again. "I'll see you next recess maybe!" Mio smiled back but couldn't help being forlorn. She knew that seeing Yui meant seeing Ritsu.
And she was not willing to take that chance.
A/N: So, this is chapter 1! I hope you enjoy it! But, after thinking about it, I made Ritsu pretty mean for being my favorite... Well, anyways, please review and favorite if you can! I will appreciate it!
