Chapter 1

Awwyup. Got Chapter one done.

For clarification purposes; Yes, I do own this story. Yes, I did make this up.

As I walked down the hallway, I could hear the students chattering away.

I tightened my hold on the locket around my neck.

Ever since that time, I never took it off.

It never rusted, and the chain never got tangled.

It was amazing, this locket.

I smiled.

But my smile faded as I reached my destination.

Classroom 3-B.

I grimaced at the fact that I had to transfer schools for the last semester of my last year at middle school.

And it seems like a rowdy class, at that.

I stepped back as the teacher opened the door and walked in, smiling at me.

My eyes widened at what I saw.

One eye was scarlet, as mine was.

Could he be a contractor, like me?

I was still thinking about it when I heard him call, "Transfer student, come in please."

His voice snapped me back into reality and I stepped into the classroom, writing my name on the board.

There was a silence in the classroom, as if they were expecting me to say something.

For the first time, I got a good look at who was sitting where.

As my eyes traveled from desk to desk, I saw another one.

This time a girl.

One eye of hers was a dark green, while one was a light brown.

I could tell immediately this one was a contractor.

I took my eyes off her and continued to scan the class.

Damn, my favorite spot is taken.

"You can sit back here by… Hey wait a moment!" The teacher said to me as I walked to the back row, to the spot near the window.

My favorite spot.

"Can I sit here?"

The boy in the spot stared at me, nodded, then got up to the empty spot on the other side of the room.

Everyone was staring at me.

I was used to this.

Whenever someone hears my voice for the first time, they go into a trance.

I have no idea why.

Aem says it's because I made a contract with two fairies of different elements.

I sat down and rested my head on my hand, staring out the window.

"…. And make sure to wear your uniform tomorrow." I stared at the teacher, eyebrows raised, then I nodded, turning back to look out the window.

I sat through the whole lesson, not listening to a single word he said, and when the bell rang, I was one of the first out.

'I still have about three or four more minutes until the next class, so I might as well check out the roof and get a better view of the school' I thought.

When I opened the door, it was just as beautiful as I imagined it.

Okay, maybe not beautiful, but there was no trace of a human up there.

I walked to the fence, grasping it in my hands.

I inhaled the fresh air.

"Man," I said to myself, "The air really is always better up here."

I raised one of my hands, swirling the air around in my palm.

'I want to sing in this clean air,' I thought with a smile.

"That summer day, those sparkling stars, Even now I still remember.

"That laughing face, and that angry face, I really loved them. Strange isn't it?

"Even though I knew that... You didn't know, the secret only I knew.

"That night long-ago, in a distant memory, you pointed, and with an innocent voice...

"Ha, how pathetic of me… I can only remember the last few lines…"

I felt tears form in my eyes, but I blinked them away.

"Uh oh, I better get to class…"

I looked at my schedule.

"Math next, huh."

I stood, thinking, for a while.

"Damn! That's on the first floor! I'll never make it in time… You must be shitting me…"

I quickly reached up and removed the contact on my right eye, revealing a sky blue color.

Aem and Finn made contacts for me so I wouldn't be easily identified by others, but who the hell cares right now.

I'm late for class.

I lifted my right arm up, my palm facing the ground.

"Spirits of wind, I summon thee. Lend me your power to harness the breeze, allow me to float softly like a leaf to the first floor."

There was a flash of white, and I could feel the weight of my body leave me.

I checked my watch.

'I only have 45 seconds. Better make this fast.'

I jumped up on top of the fence and let myself fall, allowing the wind to carry me.

I knew I would be safe.

I trusted the wind, just like I did the fire.

With a few flips, I landed softly on the ground, and I flicked my hair back out of my face.

'15 seconds.'

I sprinted toward the classroom, putting my contact back in, and reached it just before the teacher.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized everyone was staring at me.

I stared back while walking to my seat.

After settling down, the teacher went into a lecture.

'Now that I think about it, I never learned the teacher's name…'

I wrote a note.

What's the teacher's name?

I passed it to the girl beside me.

She looked at it, then at me, then she started scribbling something back.

She passed it back to me and looked quickly toward the front as if nothing had happened.

That's Takahashi Sensei. He's very strict… But he's also nice. Just don't make him mad. He's hella scary when he's mad. So you're Tanaka Amaya? I heard a rumor that you're the daughter of Tanaka Keichiro, the president of the Tanaka Group, but you don't look alike at all. Are you really his daughter?

I reread the note several times before scribbling a reply.

Yeah, that's me. I resemble neither of my parents. They were stumped. I only have my mom's hazel eyes. Damn, rumors fly around this school like a bids flies in the sky. Well, you know me, I guess. And you are?

I passed the note back to her and looked back out the window.

After a minute or so, I heard paper sliding back onto the floor.

I picked up the note and opened it.

Oh yeah! I'm so stupid sometimes. xD I'm Chikako. Abe Chikako. Nice to meet you! Errr…. I mean…. Nice meeting you through note? Aha I don't know what to call this. Hey, Amaya, can I call you that? Did you know that you're like, really pretty? When you first walked into the classroom, everyone was staring at you. And you're super athletic, too. We saw you run through the halls. That was another reason we were staring.

I felt a blush creep up on my face.

I scribbled a reply.

Sure you can call me that. I'll call you Chikako in return, though. And I AM NOT!

I checked the time.

What time's lunch?

I gave her the note and looked toward the front.

There was some formula scribbled on there.

I looked out the window again when I saw the note touch my desk from the corner of my eye.

I picked it up.

Yes, you are! xD You're so cute :3 Lunch is soon. After this period. I'll show you around school later, if you like (:

I smiled.

Sure (: That's great. I think that this should be our last pass. Takahashi's looking this way. Hey what happens when I make him ma-

(A/N: In case you didn't realize, it's supposed to say, "What happens when I make him mad?")

I was interrupted mid-sentence by a booming voice.

"TANAKA! What could be so much more important than my lesson?"

I blinked, staring at him.

"Nothing."

"Oh, really, now? Then I guess you've been paying attention?"

"I guess."

"Then come solve this on the board."

I got up and grabbed a piece of chalk.

I heard whispers behind me as I walked up to the board, so clearly they hadn't learned this.

Of course they hadn't.

This was university level math.

I scowled at him.

Takahashi had a smug look on his face.

'Oh, I'll enjoy wiping that look off of his old face.'

I placed the piece of chalk on the board, and solved the problem within a minute.

"Sensei," I said, as sweetly as I could, "Do you mind telling me why a question from the Tokyo U. entrance exam is up here on the board?"

I could hear gasps and whispers around the room.

I smirked at him.

"I win this round, old geezer," is what my face said.

I walked calmly back to my seat and stared out the window until the end of the period.

When the class ended, Chikako came up to me.

"Woah," she said. "That. Was. Fucking. AMAZING. How'd you even know all that?"

"My dad had tutors for me. You said you were gonna show me around school?"

I smiled at her.

"Oh wait," I said. "I just remembered. That old geezer called me to his classroom."

She and I let out a groan.

"Well, that can't be helped." Chikako said with a sad smile. "You should go before he gets pissed off."

I nodded and walked away, waving.

I walked through the halls on my own, not showing any emotion on my face.

When I reached his office, I took a deep breath and walked in.

The blinds were closed except for one.

He was sitting, looking at the door.

I stared at him for a while.

"I guess I was right," I finally said to him. "You are not a contractor."

He smiled at me.

"That's right. I am not a contractor."

"But you have eyes the same color as mine, easily mistaken as a contractor, no?"

"Right again."

I scoffed.

"Wow, aren't I doing good in school." I said sarcastically.

I coughed at the impact when I was pushed against the wall.

"Why don't you say it?" he whispered in my ear.

I was getting goosebumps.

"Too…. Scared?"

"Never." I said.

I struggled against his strong grasp on my shoulders.

"You know..." he said, "You've got a beautiful singing voice."

I could feel his breath on my neck.

I momentarily stopped struggling.

He had heard me singing.

My moments pause was enough time for him.

He was ready to bite.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see his fangs glistening in the little light we had.

"Vampire." I managed to get out as he opened his mouth to take a bite.

Ohoho. I finished Chapter one (: Didn't take me a while. I was burtsing with imagination ^^

The song she sings is Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari/The Story You Don't Know in English. I used the last few lines of the song.
