CHAPTER TWO. DUN DUN DDUUUUUUNNNNN...its gonna be short... sorry
O.O.o.O.O
She just stared down at the large puddle.
"Oh...I'm sorry I didn't see you," the boy said, not knowing what else to do. "I'm really sorry...I didn't really think anybody else walked down by here..."
But the girl didn't answer. She just looked down at the merky water that held a bright read book. Her bright red book. A present from her father that she received right before he left for England.
And now the book was ruined because of some idiot who bumped into her. She didn't even look up at him, and tried to hold back her tears.
"Umm...is there anything I could do for you? I really am sorry. I'm kind of a klutz..." the boy continued. He didn't understand how important the situation was. He didn't know how much that book meant for the lowly girl that stood in front of him.
"No. No, its ok," the girl said. Her voice sounded calm,and relaxed, nothing like how she was feeling inside. She bent down and took the book out of the dirty water, making sure the boy couldn't see her watering eyes.
"Are you sure? I mean. I couldn't just leave a lovely lady out here alone in a dark ally after I ruined her book. That would just be rude of me. I know! I can walk you home as a way to make it up to you! I mean, being with me is as good as any present," the boy continued, grabbing her arm and pulling her away from the ally.
The book was clutched hard in her hands.
"What makes you think that I would want to be with you?" she pulled away, and for the first time saw the boys face in the bright city lights.
He had light brown hair that partially covered his bright gold eyes. A huge grin was plastered to his face, making him seem amused and childish.
It seemed like he had just had the greatest time of his life and was now still remembering it, and that expression made her sadness go away.
"Well everybody wants to be with me. I mean. I'm awesome. Come on," he grabbed her arm again, and pulled her through the huge crowd of people until they were finally on a quieter street.
"I don't even know you...oh my god, your gonna rape me, aren't you?" the girl looked up at him in false shock, and made her tone sound scared.
"oh no...how'd you know?" the boy stopped smiling and looked surprised before he let out an amused laugh.
Mikan also let out a small laugh, before finally coming to the conclusion that this dude wasn't that bad. And he sure as hell didnt look bad. Unless he really was a rapist...
"My names Luke,"
"And mine is Mikan"
Mikan looked at Luke for a second, and then gave a disappointed sigh.
"Well, Luke. I must sadly bid you farewell, for the time is getting late," she let out a smile, and did her best to try to memorize his face into her mind.
"Very well, until next time," he gave a slight wave before running away into the crowd.
what a weird guy...until next time? I doubt there'll ever be a next time. Oh well.
Mikan looked down at the book in her hands. It looked completely normal, other then a huge stain on the back cover, and a couple of soggy pages in the back.
But it was fine. After all, that was the book her father had given her before he left for England. The last thing he had given her before he had died.
(O) (O) (O) (O) (O)
The next day was one of the most suspenseful days of her life. Summer days weren't meant to be suspenseful, yet there she stood, at 10 AM, wearing nothing but her childish bunny pajamas, in front of her home, holding a white envelope with a red seal. You could tell from the high-quality envelope that this wasn't just some ordinary letter.
Mikan knew it was the letter from Alice Academy even before she saw the neat hand-written return address. Slowly, she opened the envelope, and took out the thin paper. She didnt actually read it for a good ten minutes. She just stared at it, trying to work up the courage. Shes never wanted anything more then this. EVER. And beleive me, she REALLY wanted a pony when she was five.
After a while, she finally convinced herself that no matter how long she waits, the answer will be the same. Slowly, she read and re-read the letter, showing no expression on her face.
She then calmly walked inside and put the letter on the counter.
"Hey honey. Did you get in? I saw you got the letter" her mother quickly looked at her daughter and examined her face for any trace of happiness or sadness.
"Yeah. I got in. School starts on September 3. Campus tour is on september 2," Mikan said casually, right before she let out a loud yawn.
Her mother looked up at her confuded. One minute she was crazy about this rich school, and the next she was completely careless. She had stopped trying to understand her daugther a long time ago.
"well, I'm going back to bed. Summer isn't meant for waking up early, see ya at noon, Mom" Mikan walked to her room and locked the door behind her.
It still didn't sink in. She was going. She was accepted. This wasn't just some character in some story. this was her. Little miss nobody from the town of No Name was going to Alice Academy. She didn't know why she wasnt excited. Why she wasnt jumping up and down screaming YAY. Wasn't that how you were supposed to act when your biggest dream came true?
Well. She would think later. Summer was quickly ending, and in less then two weeks, she was going to be in a whole new world. The rich-kids world. She had to sleep as much as she possibly can for all the early mornings coming up.
WELL sorry people xD NOW THE STORY BEGINS! ha...i kinda suck at writing so dont expect much -.-'
