"Breakaway"-Kelly Clarkson
It would really make it dramatic if you listen to the song while reading this…:3

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Yuki quietly sat in a chair next to the window of the classroom, pressing his forehead against the glass. He watched as the window began to fog, blurring the view of the miserable, rainy weather.
"Yukiiiiiiiiii!!!!"
Yuki unwillingly turned his head as three girls ran inside of the classroom.
"Yuki! Get ready, because in five minutes, you're going to give a speech in an assembly about how you're going to make this awfully dreadful high school into a spectacular Yuki kingdom!"
The three girls jumped and giggled with excitement as Yuki still sat with his same expression.
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
"Ano, when was this arranged?"
Yuki sat in confusion as the girls happily walked out of the classroom, shrugging off his question.
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
He stressfully sighed as he turned back to the window, his confusion turning into anger.
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
Till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness
And into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
His fists began to clench as he abruptly stood up. He cautiously walked to the door, looking around to see if anyone was around. He then crept out, and walked to the door that led outside. He slowly opened it as a cold gust hit him.
I want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away and break away
Little droplets of rain began to fly onto his face as he gazed out into the dark, unpredictable world.
"Welcome, students. Today, we will have our one and only Yuki expl…"
The assembly started as a girl whispered in another's ear.
"Go get Yuki…it's time!"
The girl nodded and ran off as Yuki took his first step outside.
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep movin' on movin' on
Fly away break away
He turned around after he took a couple of steps, the light from the building glaring in his eyes.
"EEEEEECK! YUKI ISN"T HERE!!"
He turned back around as the scampering of classmates was clearly audible.
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy
To tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And break away…
Step after step, the screaming and the shuffling of feet became louder and louder. He covered his ears and began to run, fearing that the panicky atmosphere would cause him to turn back. Finally, the air became still as he wandered into a cluster of swaying trees.
"Yuki! Yuki?!?!"
A girl hastily opened the door and scanned the area, finally wailing with disappointment and slamming the doors shut…
…Break away
Break away.
