Chapter III- Unexpected News

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where am I?" I asked myself when I opened my eyes, as I saw a huge door in front of me. I went to it to get a better look, when I reached the door, I saw writings on it, I seemed to understand it.. Suddenly I felt sad and sorrow crept inside my heart, longing but for what, I stood there in front of the door with my right hand on the door. I felt my heart break, I lift my left hand to my chest, I could feel my heart but why does it want to stop beating. A tear rolled down from my eyes, it fell on the floor, at that moment the whole scene started to dissolve right before my eyes.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I woke up with tears streaming down my face. I felt depressed but why? I don't understand.

"What is wrong with me.. All of a sudden I felt as if some part of me is missing."

I looked around and saw Seto sitting on a couch at the opposite side of the room, with his head tilted forward.

"Now I remember." Isaid,

I stood up and went to the bathroom got a hot shower then got dressed, when I came out of the bathroom Seto wasn't there anymore. I started packing my stuffs. Today I really am going home.

At the airport:

"Phoemella we'll be going after you, we just have to fix some things here alright." Dad said

I just nodded, gave my mom a kiss and hugged my dad.

After what seemed to me like eternity, I finally reached home.

"ah. at last . home sweet home"

I went up, and into my room and lay down on the bed.

"Bed. I missed you a lot.. Really"

Just then my phone rang, I picked it up

"hello?"

"Phoem! (Phem) is that you?!" a voice answered.

"Cory! Oh-my-God! It is you!"

"Yup. It's me! So anywayz how's domino?"

"I thought you'd ask. well. it's. fine. I guess."

"you GUESS?! What kind of answer is that?"

"um. My kind of answer?"

"durr! Hey can you hold on for a sec. I'll just patch Jikkie. we've been trying to contact you for ages!"

"Oh sure, I'll hold"

As the other line went quiet, If you only knew what happened to me. I said to myself. Should I tell them about Seto. hmm. let me think for a moment.

"-No!" I almost shouted.

I could just imagine the look on their faces, if ever I tell them who my parents set me up with, then a beep Jikkie's on the other end, (the phone is a three-way)

"Phoemella! I miss you friend!" Jikkie said

"So what's up? I mean what have you two been up to?" I asked

"well since you asked, Jikkie here got a new modeling job."

"REAlly?!" I said to Cory.

"yup. And as for me I'm getting my story finished."

"Story?. what are we going to have a stage play?" I asked

"don't you know? -I thought you already-" Jikkie said,

"Oh. I remember you don't know because that's the reason why we've been trying to contact you Phoem!" Cory said

"yeah. To tell you about the play." Added Jikkie

"so, Jix, Cory what's the play all about?" I asked.

"history?!" I asked puzzled.

"Yeah. About ancient Egypt, and our company decided to just have the story about the youngest pharaoh of Egypt."

"who King Tut?" I blurted out.

"No!" the both of them chorused

"ok. ok. I'm just joking" I said.

"what's his name again jix? I forgot" Cory asked

"gee. me too. Anywayz this story is totally weird" said jix

"yeah. Like he has guardians that's carved on stones and he summons them to protect him." Cory said

"Really freaky. And what's worst I've read his a power hungry pharaoh that wants to take over the world." Jix added.

"So if it is 'weird' and 'freaky' why did you picked it?"

"BECAUSE phoemella it is one of a kind!" both of them said at the same time.

"we've decided that Jikkie will play the role of the bethrode princess and you will be the protector of the princess" Cory explained

"wait. I didn't quite get that. Protector of the princess"

"remember the pharaoh has his protectors carved in stone and summons them."

"So?"

"the princess also have them silly!" Jikkie said.

"ok. So."

"so. we're wondering if we could get you to help us with the stage designs." Jikkie said

Yup. I'm already expecting them to give me this responsibility to me, as always. Cory gets to write the story, Jikkie distributes the roles and Me as the floor and costume designer.

"could I say no."

"-NO" the two of them chorused.

Then all three of us giggled. I missed these gals really.

"Ok Phoem see you on Monday!" Cory said.

"and get those floor plans and costume designs, hey Cory"

"What?" Cory asked

"You tell Phoem about the settings and sceneries right!" Jikkie reminded Cory

"ok. After I finished them, well gals got-to-go!"

Cory hung-up after that Jikkie also hung up.

"It's so nice to be back. " I said as I hung up the phone.

"but Daniel Grey, I can't wait to see him!"

I said. Daniel Grey is the grandson of Earl Thomas Grey, he is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. (aside from me) good in fencing, witty, clever and most of all he is an only son. He is like a gurl magnet a real head-turner, I wonder if ever he is courting somebody. I bet he doesn't even know my name. well, too bad ha's missing aout the best of the pack. (Joke!)

***********************************************

Monday: Classroom.

First day of classes, Yay! Finally I am going to see him at last. (spent extra hours for preparing myself) I am so excited that I almost forgot my allowance!

Halfway through a difficult surprise "math" quiz.

Our school principal tapped the window (on the door) he came in, whispered something to my teacher, then my teacher nodded.

"Ms. Saotome." He called out, as he motioned me to the door.

I got up, passed my almost finished work, and followed the principal.

Inside the principal's office.

"Ms. Saotome. this news is very disturbing and difficult for us, especially if it involves one of our most outstanding student."

he said. I know he's having a hard time to explain, but I'm enjoying it,

"What I mean is. is-your parents called" he began to look serious.

"They say, you're going to be moved from here to Domino, they just called. You may go."

I was dumbstruck,

"moving-now, Domino-" I stammered.

But why, why, why? Surely there's a lot of explanation to this. I got up left the office, I cannot go back inside my class, I just can't seem to imagine, my phone rang.

"hello." I said gloomily.

"Phoemella, darling. We need to talk"

It was my mom, she sounded serious.

"you see dear, we had a sudden changes in the plan. business is not doing very well dear,"

she explained.

"so we, decided to focus on our business, and doing so, it means we have to travel-a lot, and we can't just leave you under the care of your aunt Ellen. That is the best that we can do-"

"but mum-" I said,

"It will be a great help to the both of us, if we know what's going on with you while we're gone, and we're sure that you're in good hands-please understand."

This was totally unexpected. I round up my friends and told them the news.

"That is so unfair!" Cory finally said.

"I know. But what can I do." I explained.

After a long talk, we decided to go home. I was living a happy life and now suddenly I'm going to be transferred to a new place, a new school. What if my new classmates make me fell unwanted? Or the whole place made me feel alienated?

Why, why, why?
