Thank you too all of you who reviewed my last chapter. I remembered the name of the show it was called "Higher Ground" and no unfortunately I don't own it or digimon, the novel "The Dark Tower" by Sharon Stewart or "Charlotte's Web" by E.B White.

Mimi's POV
The next day I awoke at six thirty in the morning Yolei and Kari were already awake getting dressed but Sora was still asleep, I wish I were still asleep. I got up and slowly headed towards the shower, Kari walked past me hurriedly and slammed the bathroom door closed. "Right," I smiled sarcastically and crawled back into my bed. Soon Sora's alarm went off and she slammed her fist down on it and fell back asleep. This event repeated for several minutes until finally Sora got up and made her way to the bathroom only too discover someone else was already there. "Don't even think about it I've been up longer than you," I mumbled through my pillow as I watched Sora head back to her bed. "Fine but don't be long," She grumbled. Just at that moment Kari finally came out of the shower. I immediately jumped out of my bed and got into the shower. When I came out Sora pushed me out of the way and went to the shower. Kari and Yolei were nowhere in sight they must have already gone down to the cafeteria already. I put on a pair of jeans and a light purple three-quarter inch shirt. I twisted my hair into a messy bun and I grabbed my novel and then headed down to the cafeteria to join my peers.
I walked into the room and right away Ms. Takai placed me with my group even though only Yolei, Kari, T.K, Ken and Blondie were there. "Where is everyone else?" I questioned, even though I had an idea of where they were. "Sleeping," said Blondie. "I see," I said as I picked up my orange juice. "Does anyone know if they have any other kind of juice other than apple and orange?" I asked, they all shrugged and continued talking and drinking with one and other. "I'll go ask," said Blondie as he stood up and made his way over to the kitchen. He walked back with a glass of red juice in it. "It's raspberry flavored, this is all they had," He said while handing me the cup. "Thank you I appreciate it." I replied while sipping the juice. "Do you not like apple or orange juice?" He questioned. "I…I…. I hate orange juice." I stuttered out. (A/N: You'll understand later why she hates orange juice.) Blondie gave me a curious look and then continued with his juice and listening to Ken and T.K's conversation. Soon Sora and Tai came in and they got our breakfast for us. "Thank you," I said while digging into my eggs, I was famished. "No problem. So
Tachikawa are you going to take an extra course?" Questioned Sora. "I was thinking about it," I replied. "What one were you thinking of?" She asked. "English and Social Studies," I announced as I took a sip of my raspberry juice. "Oh that'll be nice, I was thinking of taking English and math," she explained while finishing off her toast. "Oh," I said. "Ok ladies and gentlemen we're having talk early this morning right after breakfast instead of after lunch all right?" Exclaimed Ms. Takai. I stood up and took my dishes too the sink, Blondie did the same. "So you up to having another staring contest again?" He asked. "Oh you know it," I replied. He smiled and put his glass and cutlery on the drying rack. "So how do you like it here?" He asked obviously trying to make conversation. "Honestly? It's better than where I've been but I want out," I said while placing my dishes on the drying rack and I headed towards where 'talk' is held at.
I arrived way before anyone else was there so I pulled out my book and began too read it. By the time I was in the fourth chapter Blondie walked in and sat down on the chair opposite of me. "Interesting book?" He asked reading the title. "Not bad," I replied putting my book down and shifting my eyes too look at his, any chance I could get I would look into his eyes I found them too be vibrant and amazing. He nodded at me and through his book at me; I caught it and read the title, "Charlotte's Web." I read aloud. "You read it?" He asked. "When I was in like grade four," I answered and threw it back at him. "It's my eighth time reading it," He said. "Hmmm," I said raising my eyebrows. The room was freezing but I hadn't noticed it until now I pulled my arms around my shoulders and leaned back on my chair. "Cold?" He asked stating the obvious. "Just a little," I replied sarcastically. He laughed and threw me his sweater from the back of his chair. "Thanks,"
He nodded then opened his book and began to read. Soon after the others began to pile into the room. "Nice sweater," commented Sora as she giggled to herself. "What? Does it look that bad? It's not mine," I defended myself. "I know it's not yours it's his (she pointed too Blondie) it's just he doesn't usually like to lend his clothing too anyone," giggled Sora as she took a seat beside Blondie, wonder why he let me borrow it then? Yolei and Kari took a seat on either side of me, leaving me stuck in the middle. They were chatting away and I sat there trying to read my book, but honestly you try to read with two gossip queens on either side of you, you just got to listen. They were talking about some Matt guy and how these girls in this other group were all trying to ask him and Tai out, and how they were both declining. Who was Matt? I couldn't ask or they would know I was eavesdropping. "Ok well first of all is there anyone here who would like to share anything with us? Anyone got any real problems with anyone else in the group?" Asked Ms. Takai. Naturally everyone was silent. "Can we talk about people in other groups?" asked Yolei, her eyes full of hope. "Why not since I can't get very far with you eight," said Ms. Takai as she leaned back in her chair. "Ok there is this girl in a totally different group who likes this guy in the same totally different group and she really wants to ask him out but this girl is afraid that this guy likes her best friend what should this girl do?" Asked Yolei innocently. Ms. Takai looked at Yolei then the rest of the group. "Ok being the superior teacher that I am I have an idea this is an 'ask your peers question'," she smiled slyly. "So you mean you have no idea so you're trying us?" asked Matt wittily. "Uh huh, I mean no I just want to see if you can come up with the answer then if not I'll give you my advice," she answered as she rested her arms behind her head. No one seemed to be volunteering for this job so I decided I could probably be in some use with this section. "Tell him anyway, who cares if he likes your best friend, go after him tamper with his emotions and perhaps he'll turn from liking your best friend too you," I explained. Yolei smiled then nodded her head. "I'll make sure to d- I mean I'll make sure to tell my friend in the totally different group too do that." She smiled nervously. "Anyone else got something they would like too share? Tachikawa? Are you having any problems lately you would like to have help with." She asked. Should I say anything about my dreams? No I could never.
"I would never share anything I think, there is no point to this shit class!" I spat. Ms. Takai's face turned bright red and she grabbed my hand and led me outside the room and then she shut the door. "Did you not here the rules the first day you were here?" She asked in a pissed off tone. "No should I have?" I asked. "Did they search your stuff?" She questioned. "Nope, the lady picked up my bags threw them on my bed told me where my classes were held, then she left and that was it," I replied. "You mean too tell me you could have drugs in your bag right now?" she questioned in an upset tone. "I doubt in considering I don't and never will do drugs. That wasn't the reason I came here." I said. "Ok, wait here please," she said while walking back into the classroom. A few seconds later the whole class walked out the door and I was pushed back inside. "Ok please take a seat." Said Ms. Takai, I sat down. She walked over too me and inspected me she took her hands and turned my face too her, she stared hard into my eyes. She then inspected my arms, stomach. Legs and neck then sat back down across the other chair. "No Doctor talked to you?" She asked. "No, that is probably because I had just been at the doctors for tons of hours before I came here," I said. "Ok well then here are the basic rules. One no swearing, two no drugs, three no sass with the others and if there is work it out in talk, four no sex, and finally five no leaving the kiyomeru grounds without permission." She explained. "All right," I agreed. "Is that clear?" She asked once more. "Yes Ms. Takai." I answered. "Ok I'll be by your room later too check your stuff," she stated as I picked up my book and left. I walked too my dorm room. I didn't feel like going to my other class but I know I have too or they come looking for you.
I walked into the reading class as I call it. I actually did enjoy this class because everyone is so quiet and you can read without being disturbed. I sat down beside Blondie he smiled then returned to his book, so far since I've been here I think I've made friends with him he seems to be a nice guy perhaps I'll share my name with him, but not right now later. I opened my book and began to read. Soon class was over and I left for lunch. I sat down at the group table with my lunch and milk and I listened to everyone's conversation. No one seemed to be interested in talking too me, for once yes I would have liked too talk too them, I guess now that I've been here for a while I would like too try and make friends since I don't think I am going to be leaving this 'prison' for quite a long time. I picked up my empty dishes and headed to the kitchen, for once Blondie didn't follow he still sat there talking. I confess I am disappointed I like to talk too him. "Miss. Tachikawa!" I turned too see Ms. Takai running towards me. "Yes?" I asked as she slowed down to catch her breath. "I'm going to come search your stuff now, you need to come with me." She panted. "Ok just let me finish up here," I put my glass, plate and cutlery on the drying tray then followed Ms. Takai towards my dorm room.
When we walked in she went straight to closet marked four; she already knew my dorm number. She opened it up then began searching through all of my clothing and accessories. She pried through everything and she picked up a white plastic bag that was tied she opened it and then dropped it. Her breathing increased as she picked up the item that had fallen out. I looked at what she had grabbed. Flashbacks started too occur and I fell back against the wall. "I….I…I'm so sor...sorry I was told not too touch this," she stammered while stuffing it back in my bag. I ignored her, my breath had increased and I felt as if I was about to faint. "Don't touch that!" I screamed as she backed up and dropped the bag to the floor, the dress fell out once again. I quickly ran over too it and shoved the dress back in the bag. "I'm sorry I should have remembered the note I had received." She breathed. "What note?!" I screeched through tears. "I got a note saying not too touch a dress after I asked for permission too search through your stuff," she said calmly. "How did they know?" I asked tears still pouring from my eyes. "I guess your mother or someone told them," she answered and she handed me a tissue. "Leave," was all I said and she obeyed. "You're clean we won't need to search your stuff again," she said while turning out the door.
I grabbed my jacket, scarf and hat and then headed out the door towards the football field no one was outside. I remembered when I was a cheerleader, breaking hearts just by smiling out too everyone I loved it so much, I miss it so much but he stole it all away, everything he ruined it all for me. How do they expect me to live here? I'm missing all the things that I used too have such as cheerleading, all my regular classes, school dances, boys all dying too ask me out, and most of all my friends. I wonder how Naomi is right now? She was my best friend I should probably write her a letter about my new school. My luck it would probably have too be read by the teachers oh well like they would care what I would say. Freedom of speech is not illegal yet. I walked back too my room and pulled out a sheet of stationary and a pen and I began too write:
Dear Naomi
How are things back at home? Still the same? I don't miss home but I miss you and my other friends and all the things we used to do back at home. I do want out of here I hate it but I don't know where else I would go considering I hate home. How are things in your life? Are you and Kenta still dating? See I have missed a lot I don't even know that. I've been away from school for so long. One month and one half I think right? After what happened I didn't really want too go back and now it's all I think about considering the classes here aren't exactly what you would call normal. We have to ask if we want too take classes like Math, English, Social Studies, Science etc. I think I'm going to take English and Social studies. They were my favorite subjects. I haven't made really any friends here and they still don't know my first name hahaha I won't tell them because I don't think I'm ready for them too know it. Once they know that they'll start to ask personal questions that I'm definitely not ready to talk about. I wish that you could come up here and visit me I'm so lonely I have no one really too talk too the closest thing I have too a friend is this guy I call Blondie he won't tell me his name if I won't tell him mine. So far that's all that I have to report about this school other than the fact that it's in the middle of no where that's it so write me back soon with reports about my old school. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mimi Tachikawa.
Ps. They found the dress; you can only guess what happened.
I folded the letter into an envelope and wrote Naomi's address on it. I then took the letter to the office. "Yes," asked the lady at the front. "I would like to send a letter do you have too read it or anything?" I asked. "No we don't invade privacy like that. Here is a stamp and then all you have to do is drop the letter in the mail box over there." She explained then returned to her typing. "Thank you," I said as I placed a stamp on my letter, I then headed to the mailbox and dropped it in the slot. "Please write me soon Naomi," I prayed silently and headed back to my dorm room. I was still very up set about my dress so I slid under the covers in my bed. I didn't have any other classes yet so I decided to take a nap even if I probably would miss dinner, I quietly fell asleep.
*DREAM*
"Where am I?" I asked as I looked at my surroundings I was at a bank by a pond and I saw two people on the other side of the pond kissing. I turned to my side and saw a familiar face. He leaned his head down to mine and our lips met. Then the pond was gone and I was in a hospital and I was aching all over. I screamed. The people took blood from me and I screamed again.
*END OF DREAM*
The dream I had, had before only this time they took blood from me. I had awoken in a sweat. I must have been asleep longer than I had thought the other girls were in their beds sleeping. I tip toed over to my closet and opened it quietly and found the white plastic bag. I opened it and pulled out the dress tears began to flow from my eyes. I held the dress out in front of me. It was a halter top dress that went past my feet it was a soft pink color with beaded sequins all over the halter top part or at least that's what it used too look like. The halter top part of the dress had great slash marks down it. And the bottoms of the dress were torn. I held the dress up too me and began to sway.
~*Flashback*~
I swayed in his arms as we danced at the dance he kissed my forehead and continued too dance with me.
~*End of flashback*~
I continued to dance with the dress, I was still crying.
~*Flashback*~
"Where are we going?" I asked. "To a pond it's absolutely beautiful at night with all the fire flies around." He replied. "That will be nice," I said as I watched lights pass me as we turned a road.
~*End of Flashback*~
I quickly put the dress back into the white bag and then tied it up and shut my closet. I grabbed my jacket and scarf and headed outside. I sat down on a bench outside, all I could think about was what had happened. I heard the door open and I quickly wiped away my tears. I turned too find Blondie walk out; he didn't seem to acknowledge me so I continued to sit there in silence. He lit up a cigarette and began too smoke. "Isn't that bad for you?" I questioned. "Oh shit," he said as he noticed I was there almost dropping his cigarette. "What?" I asked. "No one's supposed to find out I smoke," He replied while taking a seat next to me. "Why not?" I asked. "Because I steel the cigarette's from the kitchen lady and she'll know where they're all going if you tell," he whispered. "No I won't tell I just think it's bad for you," I answered looking up at the stars I could see my breath in the air it was so cold it was already deep into winter. "Hey it's better than me smoking dope right?" He asked. "That's true but it's still bad," I stated. " Oh well I'm trying to quit," He replied. I smiled. "So what are you doing out here?" he asked. "I…. I…." I couldn't tell him could I? "You… You…." He mocked me. I scowled. "I had a bad dream that's all,"
"Oh, what was it about?" He questioned. "Nope not going too tell you," I said. "Why not?" He asked. "Because it's none of your business," I replied. "True but it might help to talk to someone about it, it usually does." He answered. "It was about what happened to me," I explained. He was asking me personal questions even if he doesn't know my name. Perhaps it doesn't really matter to him name or not. "I see then I guess you really don't want to talk about it," He guessed. "No I don't but maybe it would be for the best if I did," I suggested. "Probably and I honestly wouldn't tell," he said placing his hands in the air. "Well before I tell you, you must know my name and I must know yours." I stated, he nodded in agreement. "My name is Mimi Tachikawa," I stated and held my hand out too his. He took my hand and shook it and said, "My name is Yamato Ishida but you can call me Matt," I smiled and laughed then my smile quickly faded into a dull expression. "I may think what happened to me a very unique story but in truth it's probably not far from what happened to many other women in the world."
Suspense! Sorry I'll tell you what happened to Mimi in the next chapter. Please remember to R&R and I'll put the next chapter up soon. ^_^ Fuschia
