-=[Chapter One - Wishful Thinking]=-
It was 5th period. Language arts. Topic - Poetry. And everyone had to read their poems written last night aloud.
Michelle sunk back into her seat, wanting to hide. She simply HATED reading things in front of people. Especially since she found her poem so corny.. But soon, the teacher called her up.
"Michelle," she said, "It's your turn. Please read your poem."
Michelle looked at the teacher through hazel eyes, glasses settled in front of them.
"Ok.." she said, and reluctantly made her way to the front of the room, paper in hand.
When she got up there, she stood next to the provided chair, not wanting to sit on it.
"Ok, I wrote this poem about the time I went to Amy's cottage," she glanced at her friend, who gave her a smile in return, "and saw the sunset there." She began to read her poem..
"I walked along the sandy beach with my companions while looking at the azure sky.. A light rain was drizzling down.. Suddenly, a friend darted off.
I raced down the shore following her, ducking under the dank docks overhead, sand flying everywhere... My bare feet splashed through the pebble-filled water, sending minnows streaking in all directions.. I continued my quest to reach the sandbar, where she now stood.. What was she doing?
I came to a sudden halt at the sandbar's edge and whirled around.. The lake water lapped silently and peacefully at my ankles as I gazed upwards..
The sunset looked like a flaming gash in the darkening sky.. A portal of pinks, purples, and oranges hovered above, reflecting off the water with a dazzling effect.
The others finally caught up with us, puzzled on why she suddenly ran off. Then, they saw it. The gateway to the heavens floating above.. We all stood transfixed, watching, until the sun completely disappeared into the black night."
She stood there as the people clapped, and then embarrassedly made her way back to her seat. Tim, the boy who sat next to her, spoke up.
"Hey, that was good! Why didn't you want to read it?" He said, a tad confused.
"I don't like reading stuff in front of people."
"Why?"
"I dunno.."
"Oh, come on. You have to have a-"
He was cut short by the teacher glaring at him.

Michelle got off of the bus that came to a screeching halt by the stop sign at the corner of her block. She sighed sadly and slowly walked to her house, thinking. Today sucked. First, her dad wouldn't let her go to Six Flags with her friends.. Then the fact that she got in HUGE trouble at P.E. because of her friend.. Plus numerous other things..
She stopped thinking and looked up at the clear, azure sky (A/N - I like that word. ^_^), her hazel eyes glimmering behind her glasses, her brown hair blowing gently in the wind, along with the edges of her baggy t-shirt. The teenager's mind switched from thinking of her awful day, to anime. She simply LOVED anime. Her favorite bishounen changed constantly, but she seemed to be hooked on everyone's favorite needle-noggin. Vash the Stampede, of course. The crybaby, doughnut lover, and broom-headed girl-chaser, with the oh-so characteristic line - This world is made of.. LOVE AND PEACE!
She laughed quietly to herself.
"I'm in love with someone who doesn't exist. Jeeze, I'm pitiful.. But.. If only if he was real.." She turned the knob of her home's front door, and walked in, not noticing the bizarre clouds beginning to loom ominously overhead in the now unclear skies.. But.. These were no ordinary clouds.. They seemed to give off a rainbow-like reflection, like the colors that swirl in a newly-blown bubble...
~*~
The basement was filled with the 'click clack' of a keyboard. Michelle was at the computer, typing furiously, her fingers flying. She was about to begin role-playing with her friend, Sam, while talking with her other friend, Amy. But.. It was so odd, no one else, out of nearly 150 people, was online, according to her AIM buddy list.
-So, what are you doing?- Amy typed.
-Being bored. And about ta' role-playing with Sam.- Was Michelle's reply.
-Typical of you.-
-Yeah, I know. ^^-
She was seconds away from beginning yet another new RP story with Samantha, since she had typed the traditional -~*~*~*Start*~*~*~- in the IM box.... Her fingers approached the letter she was going for....
~*~
Outside, the strange clouds had grouped over Michelle's small home, crackling with electricity.. The buzzing sensation coming from them got louder.. And louder.. And louder still, until you could hear it from nearly anywhere in the neighborhood.. Michelle remained oblivious as she continued typing the beginning of the RP... She was about to hit the 'enter' key.. When suddenly, a streaking bolt of lightning shot down from the skies with a thunderous boom, and seemed to go straight through the roof of the house! It traveled at an amazingly swift rate, and came smashing in-between Michelle and the keyboard.. She was knocked out almost immediately as she was pushed back forcefully in the chair by the blast.. But, before darkness overwhelmed her, she got a glimpse of a strange black tear (A/N - Not as in crying tear, as in tear-in-clothing tear. Needed to make that clear.) hovering in midair.. Rainbow colors swirling inside it..
She.. Was.. Being.. Sucked into it..
That's all she saw..
And when her body was completely vanished, the portal snapped shut in a flash, and the computer screen glowed a strange golden color and turned off in a second.
