Chapter 2: A New Journey

The first few steps

Of a new journey

Are always, always

The hardest

My mother grinned at my reaction.

"So you like it?"

"MOM THIS PLACE IS HUGE! I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS A SCHOOL!"

"Actually this isn't your school this is the main office!"

I looked at her; THIS huge BUILDING was an OFFICE!?

"Mom, how can we afford this school AND your plane ticket to America?"

"Oh I have a friend who works here, so they let me in for free since your father and I also used to work here."

I could right there and then leave…but I couldn't drive so I can't.

"Well I am going in to hand in your student papers and pick up some other stuff! So STAY right there!"

She grabbed a large brown envelope that had all of my student information forms and junk and headed for the office.

I am 7 hours away from home; this school had a solid BRICK wall surrounding it along with spikes at the top, how was I going to escape?

As my mother disappeared into the "office" I got out of the car and stretched.

"WATCH OUT!!"

"Huh?"

I looked around and saw a speeding bike coming…AT ME!!

I jumped back inside the car and saw the passenger on the bike zoom by and hit…a tree and also in a place where most guys don't want to be hit.

"OHMYGOSHAREYOULIKEOKAY!?" the words came out of my mouth so fast I knew the injured person couldn't understand them.

I ran out of the car (screw car hijackers THERE WERE NONE!) and approached the sandy-colored hair boy.

"ARE YOU OKAY?"

He looked up at me with his eyes spinning.

"Yea fine hitting trees are something I do everyday!"

I laughed

"I was serious." He said

"What were you doing speeding around like a maniac?"

"Racing with my buddy, Oh there he is now!" he looked at ANOTHER speeding bike.

It skidded to a halt.

"Aw man Koko you beat me again!" said a similar looking boy.

"Ahahahahaha well Kitsuneme if you are a speed addict like me you might actually win!"

"Who's that girl?"

"Oh just some girl I bumped into you. You know the usual, nearly running her over and junk."

"OH WAIT! I FORGOT TO ASK FOR HER NAME!"

They both turned around to look at me.

"Yo pretty lady what's your name?"

I looked at them as if they were crazy (speed addicted) idiots.

"It's Sakura Mikan I'm a new student here. And if you call me pretty lady again I am going to beat the speeding stuffing out of you!"

Both of them grinned at me.

"Oh she's FIESTY! I like them like that."

I rolled my eyes some gentlemen these two were.

"Wow if you guys keep talking like this to girls it's a wonder how you can get dates!"

Both their eyes opened WIDE with horror, fearing that I insulted them I said.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean it like that it's just that I-''

"OH SHIT PERMY IS GONNA KILL ME!!"

"ANNA IS GONNA BEAT ME WITH MEAT SMASHER!!"

Both of them hopped onto their bikes and before speeding off they called out to me.

"SORRY MIKAN BUT NICE MEETING YOU! BUT WE REALLY NEED TO GO BEFORE OUR GIRLFRIENDS KILL US!!"

And they speeded away but this time with fear instead of fun.

I stood there frozen, either with shock that those two had ACTUAL girlfriends or the fact that they had VIOLENT ones.

"MIKAAAAAAAAAN SWEETIE I GOT YOUR STUFF FOR SCHOOL!"

I turned; my mother was coming out of the building with a wad of paper.

"I have your dorm house key, your cafeteria card, shopping card, phone card, student ID card, examination card, and transportation card!"

I got back inside the car as she came inside to and handed me a bunch of shiny plastic cards.

"Wow this much cards?"

"Yup! The shopping card is like a credit card except it doesn't run on money, it runs on something called rabbits which are like allowances and based on your grades. Higher your grades are the more rabbits you have to spend!"

Well that was some good news I was a above average student, except for gym and math those I am the pits at.

"And the rest of the cards are like passes to get on/in stuff or to use things."

"I see, where are we going now?"

"To your dorm house!"

"Dorm house? Don't you mean dorm room?"

"Nope! Apparently there are 2 campuses, 1 for girls and 1 for boys. And there are about 50 houses in each campus and the maximum of 5 people staying in each house." She replied.

"And the campuses are BESIDE EACH OTHER?" I looked at her in a panic.

"Oh no, silly they are a 2 hour walk between each other and guards are on patrol between the campuses at ALL times. Girl guards for girls, guy guards for guys!"

I sighed with relief at least I can make friends with my dorm mates.

As we zoomed by I saw students looking at our car curiously, I shrank in my seat I SO did NOT want to become a sideshow attraction. Besides didn't they see a car like ours in their lives?

As we kept driving we pass a bright yellow and red bus…shaped as a dog and with students getting off them. Oh so that's why they work gawking at our car. Cause we're the normal ones…ironic isn't it?

"Well this school is a private one so you'll have a uniform and it only has students ages 14-18, plus it's very prestigious so you'll be very comfortable here."

We took a right turn into a entrance…with a guard.

The female guard at the window looked at us and said, "Card please."

My mother handed her my student ID card and the guard looked inside the car and saw me.

"Well," she said "A new face! Welcome to the dorm campus for girls!"

We thanked her and drove inside.

A minute later we saw a whole bunch of students lounging around the grass entering dorm houses (there were such things!) and talking. I checked my map that was included with my "new student" package.

"Apparently between the girl dorm campus and the guy dorm campus is the relaxation area. There's a library, pool (EW fan girls.), cafeteria, lounge, game room and move theater."

I told my mom reading off the sheet.

"Yeah there are different movies on Friday and Saturday. Every week too!"

"What's Central Town?" I said pointing at the left of the map.

"Oh it's like a shopping plaza where students can buy stuff they need or want with their rabbits! There are also restaurants incase you want to eat outside. You start off with 500 rabbits. So far there's only 1 honor student in your grade some guy…Natsu something something." she said looking at me I was the top student at my old school.

And we pulled to a stop at a dorm house labeled "Number 25"

"We're here Mikan!" mom said excitedly.

I could only nod, because my dorm house was BEAUTIFUL!!

I was 3 stories high; it was 4 times as big as our old townhouse and had glass windows coming from the roof to the ground. There were pillars, and even balconies! On the top of roof I could see a mini-sun lounge and a green house. Complete with a garden and fountain.

"Oh.My.GOD. MOM am I going to LIVE here?!" I screamed.

"I KNOW IT'S SO PRETTY AND BIG! Just like the house me and your father wanted to live in." she sighed heavenly.

Now I felt guilty, being a single parent and my mom didn't have a job (other than being a teacher here. And retired early because she had me.) But she always put my wishes before hers and never complained once about it.

"Come on let's start moving your stuff up."

With a few students looking at us curiously, we unlocked the door of my new "home" and it didn't seem like any of my dorm mates were there. So up the stairs to the 3rd floor we lugged up my 3 suitcases and 4 boxes together and went down the hall and past strangely coloured doors (one was a dark green, one was a dark purple, one was pink and one was dark blue.). And at the end of the hall was a orange-coloured door with a nameplate on it that said,

"Mikan Sakura."

We opened the door and gasped at the sight.

My room was painted a pretty feminine orangey-peachy colour. The floors were a glazed cherry wood and on it laid a peach coloured rug. There was a large desk with a computer and 3 bookshelves in the door along with a queen sized 4 poster bed. White, gauzy semi-translucent curtains hung around the bed, and the curtains on the bay window matched them. I ran to bay window and saw a small sofa sill had been attached on the inside of the window so I could sit on it and look outside at the same time.

"Mikan check out your bathroom!" cried my mom.

I rushed into the bathroom; inside was a vanity desk, marbled floor, 3 connect mirrors are the sink, and the toilet which was gold rimmed along with the sink. 2 doors on the left which led to a shower and bathtub room which the shower could fit 4 people and the bathtub could fit 7. And the bathroom was already filled with hygienic necessities. The other door leads to a walk in closet which led to another door which led back to the bedroom.

"Come on mom, let's stop gawking for a while and start unpacking."

She sighed heavenly at the rooms once more and helped me open boxes and un-zip suitcases.

We hung my collection of clothes (which were comfortable and sensible) on the racks of my new closet and stuff underwear into the dresser.

I unloaded my books and stored them either on my desk shelve or on my book shelves. Then I dug out my papers, quills, inks, pens, journals and other writing utensils and put them into the drawers of my desk. Then I retrieved my easel and leaned it in a corner beside my desk. And scrounged up my paintbrushes, oils, paints (so she DID pack them) and other painting utensils into a large metal case and set it on top of my desk.

My mother during this time was watching the television that was included in my room (along with a 4 seat sofa and an armchair). I grumbled about her laziness and dressed the bare mattress on my bed and threw my pillows on it along with my blanket. As for my desk I placed my collection of country and rock music CDs on it (I never liked rap). I poked my mom and said "I'm done packing…"

She sat up and stretched and looked at me,

"I'm sorry honey that I need to leave so soon but…" she bit her lip "my flight to America is in a 4 hours, and the drive there from here is 3 hours and 30 minutes."

I nodded "Go ahead mom, I know how much you've been dying to see dad again."

She smiled with a hint of tears in her eyes

"I'm sorry sweetie I wish I could see you start school make friends…"

"Don't worry about it, I'm done packing anyhow and this school is guarded if not I'll personally kick the butt of anyone who tries to harm me. Besides I'm kind of worrying how you'll unpack you luggage with my help…" My mom had twice as much things as I did.

I came over to her and gave her a hug,

"I know how much you miss dad and I know how much you've been dying to see him."

She gave me a squeeze "Oh Mikan I'm so sorry…"

"Don't be just go, and be careful in America"

I accompanied her to downstairs and to the car. As she was getting in she kissed my forehead and said "I'm going to miss you Mikan I love you very much."

"I love you too mom and I'm going to miss you more."

She gave a sad laugh and started the car "Good luck in school sweetie! Try your best!"

With that she pulled out of her parking space and gave me a wave, I waved back and she drove down the road turned left and……disappeared.
