Okay so I've shown how rubbish I actually am by writing a really short opening chapter and then not updating very quickly. But I have an excuse, I'm from the UK and the exams have started so I've been pretty involved in preparing for them. But its half term and I can finally add a chapter!

Mimi pushed open the doors and immediately found herself overwhelmed. There were people everywhere. It was unbelievably crowded and everyone seemed to pushing each other in an attempt to proceed through the hallways. Oh God. Why am I here? Why am I not in America? I can't do this, I'm going to go home and beg my dad to ask for a transfer back. I can't do this...

Mimi was quickly brought out of her panicked thoughts when she felt herself collide with the floor. Oh brilliant, my first day and I've already embarrassed myself by tripping over. How on earth do I manage it? I didn't even know I was walking.

"Oh man, I am so, so sorry. I didn't see you, I was in a rush and then you were there and then you were on the floor..." A male voice trailed off. Mimi, who had squeezed her eyes shut to shield herself from the stares of students around as she lay on the floor, opened them to find a boy standing above her with his arm outstretched. Mimi gladly took his hand and the boy helped her up. Now she could see him clearly. The boy looked around the same age as her. He was really quite tall, with a tanned complexion, and the wildest hair Mimi had ever seen. It was a dark brown and stood up at all angles. How on earth does it stay like that! I have trouble keeping mine straight.

"Err hello? Are you there?" Mimi snapped out of her thoughts. The boy was staring at her oddly, as though wishing he'd have ran off instead of helping her up. "Oh sorry I got lost in my thoughts. Were you saying something?" Mimi answered politely. She tugged at her skirt nervously, realising how ridiculous she must look right now.

"It's okay. I was introducing myself. I'm Taichi Yagami, but I go by Tai. I'm a third year. You are?"

"Oh I'm Mimi. Mimi Tachikawa. I'm a third year too." Mimi looked up at Tai shyly. Tai seeing this, grinned down at her as he began to take in her appearance. Mimi was a lot shorter than he was, but then again he stood above the average height of most of the boys in this school. Tai figured she was around 5'2/3" and she was fairly thin. Except he noticed she was blessed in certain areas. Tai also noticed her tanned complexion and her extremely long, light brown hair. This was quite rare at the school, except for the foreign exchange students.

"Hey Mimi. You're not from around here are you?". "How did you guess?" Mimi giggled slightly. Tai grinned more, she had a lovely laugh. "Well you're really tanned and you're hair is so light. I've only really seen that on our exchange students. Oh and you also have a twang to your accent."

Mimi smiled. "Well, I've come here from America. We were living in California and its so sunny there, which is the reason for the hair and tan. Oh and if you're wondering why I can speak perfect Japanese, then it's because I'm originally from Odaiba."

"Well that was going to be my next question. So Mimi, I've never seen you around here, so I'm guessing this is your first day? Therefore, would you like an escort to the assembly hall?" Mimi nodded and laughed as Tai bowed and held out an arm for Mimi to take. Once she had, Tai began to wheel them towards the assembly hall. As they entered the hall Mimi gasped and put her hands to her mouth. She had never seen this many people all in one school room before. There were around 600 seats, all of them filled and even though they were, students still filed in to stand around the edges of the hall. Suddenly she felt a hand grip hers and she was being dragged by Tai to a group of students who were huddled in a far corner. As they reached the group, Tai let go of her and walked over to a redheaded girl, slipping one arm around her waist and kissing her head.

"Hey guys. I want to introduce you to Mimi Tachikawa." Tai announced and he smiled at her. The group turned to look at her and Mimi instantly started to feel nervous. Her palms had begun to sweat. Mimi was startled by the group and she instantly felt out of place. They were all ridiculously good looking, laidback and cool. Of course Mimi had been seen as "cool" at her old school, but this group took it to a completely new level. They all looked like they had just stepped off the cover of VOGUE and didn't seem to even be aware of the fact they were in school. The three girls in the group were wearing the same uniform that she was, but somehow they made it look good. They had clearly made the skirts shorter and the jumpers of the uniform seemed to be extremely fitted as did the blazer jackets. They even made the knee high socks and black shoes look good. Mimi imagined them turning up to a runway show and no one would even bat an eyelid at them.

Mimi noticed even the six boys made their uniform look good. Skinny trousers (clearly had been altered), white cotton button down shirts and blazers. Tai and four of the others wore their blazers loose, whilst one of the boys wore their blazer buttoned up. This boy was the one who caught Mimi's interest. He was leaning casually against the wall. He had gorgeous blonde hair and the most striking blue eyes Mimi had ever seen. A small smirk was playing across his lips as he spotted Mimi staring at him. She felt her face grow hot with embarrassment, and she quickly moved her eyes away.

"Err Hi... Yeah I'm Mimi and I'm from America, so I'm new here...Well kind of, I'm originally from Odaiba, but I moved away 8 years ago..." Mimi could hear herself babbling on and quickly buried her head in her hands. God I must look such a freak.

However, the group only laughed and smiled at her in a welcoming way. Mimi was about to speak when she was drowned out by a speaker, she looked towards the front of the hall and saw a small stage on which a short man walked onto. Clearly he's the principal, looks like the assembly is starting. Mimi's thoughts were right and the man started to make announcements into a microphone.

The assembly lasted around 30 minutes and when it came to an end it was an indication for them to all go to their classes. Mimi pulled out her timetable, and suddenly began to panic when she realised she had no clue where her first class was.

"Mimi. Where are you first?" Mimi glanced at her side and saw Tai smiling at her, with the redhead girl at his side.

"Oh I have History, but I have no idea where that is."

"Well you're in luck then, Sora happens to have that too." Tai told her, gesturing to the girl at his side. The girl smiled at Mimi. Tai looked around the hall and saw the blonde haired boy by the door. "I need to go, Matt's leaving without me. See you two at lunch." Tai said quickly, kissing Sora on the cheek and then rushing off towards the doors of the hall. Mimi could immediately see why he had knocked her over earlier; the boy wasn't graceful in the slightest.

"So Mimi, as you already know I'm Sora, so the formalities are over. Shall we get to class?" Sora asked her politely. Mimi grinned. "Yeah we really should. So that blonde boys name is Matt huh?" Mimi asked dreamily. Beside her Sora giggled.

"Yes his name's Yamato, but we all call him Matt for short. But Mimi, I really wouldn't advise becoming smitten with him. Matt's a heartbreaker. Though I do advise becoming friends with him. Now come on, we need to go to class and then after I'm sorting out your uniform. A gorgeous thing like you cannot wear the uniform like that. I'm your friend now, and I'm not having any friend of mine parading round in a potato sack. "

Mimi laughed as she looked down at herself. She'd worn the skirt knee length and the jumper and blazer seemed baggy. Then she looked at how Sora wore the uniform and was immediately glad she was friends with this girl. Maybe this was her route to ruling this school too.

So for the time it took for me to update, I think this is pretty disappointing. I've had so many ideas on what to put but I got distracted and then when I went to type, all the ideas were gone!

I think I babbled a lot but hopefully you all don't mind and like reading it anyway. Fingers crossed :D

I'll also stop with the introduction feel of the story, but it's the only way I can really get the characters across to you as the reader.

But thanks to Silvana94 and Ezio Uchiha for the kind words in my first reviews :D
