Chapter 6: Preparing for School...

Author's Rant: Yes! I've FINALLY updated this story!!! Sorry for taking such a long time to update! I have been busy with all kinds of stuff during the summer, although I promised to update every week during that time. Plz don't hurt me! ; This chapter isn't as long as my other ones, but I'm busy right now so I can only type so much...

Also, once again, plz read and review!

7:00 a.m.

It was morning and I was still in my bed, trying to get some sleep. Last night I was so excited about finally having my own angel, I couldn't even sleep. Every second my mind was filled with everything I knew about Angelic Layer. The championship between the red and white angels, the layer they battled in, and... Kimi...

So, due to those very thoughts, I was unable to get some sleep and unfortunately, I will be attending my new school today. Before I lost the ability to move my legs and when I was living in Osaka, I typically never arrived at school on time. In fact, I probably wouldn't have gone to school at all if it weren't for my friends, Mika and Touya, and my parents, who made sure I had to go to school despite the fact that I was already late. They were the only reasons, at the time that made me want to go to school. However, now that the things I cherished most are gone, I lost the will to go on with school... in fact, maybe life itself... almost. There was only one thing that made me want to go to Holly Crest, my new school. And that was Angelic Layer.

Angelic Layer was, to me, a blessing. I learnt about it after leaving the hospital, when I was depressed and mentally unstable. I was just glancing outside the car window when I noticed a strange battle being broadcasted on a huge TV on a building. I was in awe when I saw two human-like figures fighting intensely. I had never seen anything like it. When Aunt Ayami told me that it was a game known as Angelic Layer, I was instantly hooked with it. I wanted an angel for myself badly, but I didn't ask Ayami for one, since she already helped me out so much since my tragic incident. However, she knew I was into it the moment I witnessed that battle on the TV. She could tell just by my expression... When I surprisingly received a package one day, I was very grateful for Aunt Ayami. I can't possibly thank her enough.

Anyways, I named my Angel Doll, Kimi, and when I fell asleep after dinner, I held onto it in bed, trying to calm my excitement in order to sleep. Unfortunately, that didn't happen till this morning, when I had to go to school...

So I sighed to myself and slid off my bed, falling gently to the floor. I crawled to my wheelchair and hoisted myself up. I had to get ready for school, so I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, etc. By 8:00 a.m., I was all dressed and ready for school, wearing a brand new uniform and backpack. In my bag, I placed my angel Kimi, into one of the pockets. I ate breakfast, got into the car with the help of Ayumi, and I was off to my first day of school.

9:00 a.m. – Holly Crest School

I arrived at the school I visited during the tour, and went to the school office to pick up my timetable and other necessary forms and sheets. Afterwards, Aunt Ayami bid farewell and went off to work, while I went with the school principal, I kind, old lady, to my homeroom. The principal was generous enough to push me on my wheelchair there, and while she was doing that, I wondered how my class will react when they find out about that they have a new classmate who has to move in a wheelchair. I hope they won't give me sympathy, and I certainly hope they don't try and take advantage of my problem. Also, I hope they don't make such a big deal and blow it out of proportions, causing gossips throughout the school. I sweat dropped at the thought of it, but shook my head afterwards, hoping my class will be kind about it.

The principal and I arrived at the door to my classroom, and she told me to wait for my teacher to call me in, and then she walked back to the office. While I waited outside of the door, I heard a woman, who I presumed to be the teacher in the classroom, talk to the students inside about them having a new student so late into the school year. She called me in, and I began to wheel into the room. Well, here goes...

To be continued next chapter

Sorry for making this chapter really short, and hardly progressing with the story at all TT. I'm very busy with school right now, so the chapters may be released in short segments if I want to update frequently. I'll try to put up another chapter soon, but I can't guarantee that!
