Me: Here is Chapter 1 of Broken Wings!

Chapter 1

It was all bright and early. I looked at my alarm clock, 5am. It was early, and I decided to take a little walk around the academy. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, took a bath and changed into the school uniform, I was afraid that I might be late, thus, making that decision on wearing the school uniform. As I was walking towards the door, I noticed a note at the doorstep. It mentioned that I was to wait outside the class at 7.30am before the class started. I knew that there was some time left, and I left the room.

I was walking in a field of Sakura trees when I saw a raven-haired boy all bloodied up. I was horrified at the sight and I decided to help the boy. I helped him to bandage himself up and he looked up at me.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Fujisaki Maika."

I had no intention of having another moments with such a rude boy and I left him. I realized with all that bandaging and healing, it was 7am. I probably needed that another half an hour to look for my class. 1-B. I remembered from my ID card. I searched around the place and after 24.59 minutes, I found the class. I was waiting outside the class when Mr. Narumi was arriving and told me to follow him inside the class. He announced to the class that there was a new student and they were all excited about me. The boys were hoping that it was a girl while the girls were hoping that it was a boy. Geez, I thought impatiently.

The boys had hearts in their eyes when they saw me. I had bright pink hair, so bright it was eye-catching. They looked at my crimson red orbs as if I was some kind of angel. I was disgusted by them and tapped my foot impatiently. I didn't expect such a rowdy class in the all-so-called academy of geniuses.

"She is our new student. Fujisaki Maika." Mr. Narumi said. He was about to continue when a raven-haired student entered the class abruptly, panting. As I looked closer at his face, I realized that he was the boy, which I helped a few hours ago.

"Natsume-kun, please return to your seat! Meanwhile, let's let Maika-chan introduce herself."

"Good morning. I'm Fujisaki Maika. I'm a Two Star. As for my alice, I've no intention of telling you."

I gave them a brief introduction, leaving faces shocked. I realized that the raven-haired boy was a Special Star and he was named Natsume Hyuuga.

"Since that Maika-chan has introduced herself, who would like to be her partner?"

Many boys rose up their hands, they wanted to be close to the person, they determined pretty. I death glared Mr. Narumi as I was reluctant to get near any of the perverted boys.

"How about you, Natsume-kun?"

I stared at the teacher. He was the last person that I want for a partner. The blondie next to Natsume shouted in protest that she was his partner.

"But I think that it's time for Natsume-kun to get a new partner. I'm sure Natsume-kun wouldn't mind."

I had to be seated next to Natsume, my partner. I was shouting in protest in my head, but I kept silent. Who would care about an outcast like me anyway? Mr. Narumi announced that it was a free period and I sat relaxed at my seat beside the window. Then, a girl with green hair walked up to me. I looked at her hair, disgusted. It looked like her hair was seaweed and you wanted to eat it.

"Stay away from my Natsume-sama, or else you will-"

I cut her off. I spat at her rudely, "What? Die?"

She seemed to be shocked that I finished her words. I showed them a demonstration of my Sound alice and attacked them internally through their ears. I faced the shock glares of the class, but I didn't care them. I wanted to be an outcast, anti-social. I took out my latest volume of Vampire Knight and started to read it. Natsume interrupted me when I was at the exciting part of the story.

"Here," he threw at me a piece of paper and I took my time to read it. It was the schedule, timetable, whatever you called it. I didn't really care about it and usually in class, I skipped Mathematics. It was the worst subject of my life. Although I did well in Mathematics, I despised that subject. All that addition, subtraction, blah blah blah… I wanted to get out of the classroom when the class president, it seemed so shouted, "JINNO!"

I thought it was some kind of teacher alert and I decided to play 'goodie goodie' for a moment and went to my seat. A brown-haired male teacher entered the class and asked the class to take out their Mathematics books and I ignored him. He glared at me and shouted, "NEW STUDENT! GET YOUR MATHEMATICS BOOK OUT!"

I grinned that it was a strict teacher, unlike the previous; Mr. Narumi, and I began to take out my book. As he started to teach the equations, I felt that the class was boring and I started on with my manga. He noticed that I wasn't paying attention so he wrote a super hard equation on the board and asked me to solve it. I smirked in my mind and I took my time to walk up to the board. I could hear some students shouting that Jinno shouldn't have given me such a difficult question after they had learnt it only two minutes ago. I started to write the solution and after I was done, I was pretty sure that Jinno was proud of me. I had written the short solution instead of the long solution, in which he taught the class and announced that the solution I had used was taught only when we were in the sophomore year of Middle School.

Soon, it was lunchtime. I heard the bell ring and as I was packing my bag, a brunette hopped up to me.

"Hi! My name is Mikan Sakura. I hope that we can become friends!"

I looked at her eyes closely and realized it had a pinch of loneliness inside. It was the same one that I felt and I was shocked that one would actually be a friend of mine. I was speechless, nobody wanted to be mine in my previous school and I gladly accepted her offer. We walked together to the cafeteria and she introduced herself further as I did so. She was a Triple Star, while I was a Two. As she was the first friend I had made, I was very happy.

Suddenly, the seaweed-haired girl came up to Mikan. She scolded Mikan a pathetic whore and she didn't deserve to be Natsume's girlfriend. I couldn't stand someone scolding my friend and I used my sound alice and burnt her hair.

"Maika-chan, there was no need."

"Yes, there was. I mean you are a pretty, friendly girl, how can someone talk to you in such a manner?"

She explained to me that she felt that she was also an outcast in the class, like me. Her only friends were Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru and others but she never felt happy when she was with them. She felt that they were deceiving her using her honesty and childishness. She also said that it happened everyday that the seaweed hair girl will snap at her like that, but she was used to it. Also, the seaweed haired girl was named Sumire. I thought that it was an ugly name and voiced it to Mikan. Mikan agreed and she said that she was contented that she had me as a friend as I was true and pure unlike the others.

I was surprised that someone would actually complement me. Soon, we had very good relationships with each other and starting chatting and every time we spoke about our past, we would end up laughing. By the time the bell rang, I realized that even though we were smart, rich and respected, there was something that was worth more than that. It was friendship. It was something that was priceless. Then, we had to leave for class and we strolled back to class.

The last few hours of school ended abruptly. I yawned lazily; Mikan and I went to the dormitories together. I asked Mikan to follow me and show her my room and what comments she could give on it.

Me: Sigh~ I've a writer's block now after completing this chapter! Anyways, I would like to thank Kayumi Hirai for her review in the previous chapter. It really made me smile :)
