Chapter 1
Earthquake Part 2
Amanda's POV
Bounce, bounce, bounce…My breathing was coming out harder as I dribbled a basketball down the court and back up, my bright pink eyes by habit searching for people to pass to even if just me. 5 more minutes…
A whistle pierced the air, making me stumble a bit, my pale orange hair getting in my face. "Yes Coach?" I asked, gulping down air. I started thinking about how my coach back in America let me push myself to the limit, while this one thinks that pushing me is a big no-no.
She pointed toward the locker rooms, knowing that I speak Japanese but its Universal ball language. I trudged toward the lockers, getting showered and put on fresh clothes. I pushed through the metal doors of the gym of my school. And started towards one of my favorite places.
I, Amanda Grimes come from America; I used to be a foster child until these nice Japanese people adopted me. We lived there for a few years, and then decided to move here 2 years ago. I'm pretty popular, I guess. I'm nice though. But don't mess with me, I can fight and give a good hard punch if I need to, I lived on the streets for awhile if you're wondering.
I made my way across the street to the park, my favorite place. I had a special tree 3 down from the fountain which was located a bit a ways from a famous café.
1, 2, and 3… I counted the trees, having done many times before. I came to my final stop. I looked up at 15 foot tree, and proceed to climb it.
The bark was scratchy, but there was one spot, that so smooth you didn't want leave. As I got to the top I looked around, the pink café was the famous one I was talking about. It only opened probably about 5 or 6 months ago but it was popular. I heard the cakes were good, but no way was I going in a pink girly café.
I made myself comfortable, enjoying the view to the fullest. Want to know a secret? Know anything about Tokyo Mew Mew that are suppose to be the saving the world? I saw Ichigo Momoiya transform into the first mew, Mew Ichigo. Cool, right? I can expose their secret if I want to. But, I don't cause, it's cool to watch them fight. Plus, they are trying to save the world from something.
All of suddenly, there was an earthquake. The tree started shaking; I was going to fall off. I let go of the branch, not a very good idea, but it was safer on the ground. I curled up into a ball, falling, hitting the several branches that I had just climbed up.
As soon I hit the hard ground, I blacked out. But it felt different then I would think it would. I was soon dreaming…
I was floating; in front of me was a grand tiger. I smiled, noticing how many things we probably have in common. I had the sudden urge to pet it, so I stepped forward, somehow calm in front of this dangerous animal. In return, the tiger stepped forward toward me.
Its stride became faster, the tiger was running now, I was still calm though, if it was in real life, I would probably be screaming. The tiger was a foot away from me, and crashed into me. I floated up dazed, still calm but more relaxed now.
I woke up, my eyelids opening lazily. No one was around. I looked up at the sky only to see it was getting dark…GETTING DARK!? I pushed myself off the ground, taking notice of how many scratches and bruises from falling off the tree.
I raced out the wonderful park back onto the streets. I started my long run to my house, finally reaching it by dark. I was going to get yelled at, I knew it.
I turned the door knob and much to my dismay I saw my parents standing there- waiting for me. This will be a long night…
I finished! I finished! After...what? 3 weeks? Sorry for the super long delay. It was done a long time ago but I had to put the last few finishing touches. Please read and review! I know it may not be the best grammar wise. I already got a grilling from that. So...um...yeah. I hope you liked it. Yeah...so bye bye!
