I yawned as I awoke the next morning. When I glanced at the clock, I was surprised to see I had gotten up on my own so early. I never get up on my own, especially on the first day of school. But once I was awake for a minute, I realized why I woke up:
The smell of bacon and cinnamon rolls.
I jumped out of my bed and practically flew down the stairs in pursuit of my delectable noms.
"Stop running in my house you despicable little shit!" Papa yelled and threw his news paper at me. I learned one thing really fast about my Papa, he likes to throw whatever he has in his hands at you.
"Oh leave Skye alone, he just wanted food." my Nana came to my rescue and handed me a plate that had three pieces of bacon and two cinnamon rolls on it. "Thanks Nana!" I gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "You're welcome. Now eat so you can get ready, you don't want to be late."
I nodded and scarfed down my food and a giant glass of milk followed right after. I thanked my Nana again and got ready to start my day at school, as the person I really am.
I walked down the halls of the mysterious school, schedule in one hand, obento* in another.
I walked into my first class, expecting the worst. I had British Lit for my first period, and the minute I walked in I could tell it was going to be a good day.
"New kid!!!"
A short goth girl with bright orange hair gave me a giant bear hug. "Hi! You're going to be my new best friend~ <3" she smiled at me kindly. "What's your name, kid?"
I wasn't used to people being so upfront and kind to me, so I did what came as my first defence mechanism:
I spoke in Japanese.
"E-eto...Konnichiwa! Boku wa Skye desu. Hajimemashite..namae wa nandesuka*?" she stared at me a minute before laughing. "Oh, you're a Japanese speaker, are you? Alright, two can play at that game." I was about to appologize, but what she said next made me stop.
"Watashi wa Miya desu. Doyo ni anata ni aete ureshii!" a smile spread across my face as she finished, then we both just burst into laughter. Two people, who I assumed to be her friends, walked up to us. "Who's this, Mei? A new kid?" a boy with blue-grey hair asked. "Yeah, his name is Skye." Miya replied. The other one, a girl with long black hair, smiled at me. "I'm Taiya, and this slave here is Luke." she pointed at the boy with blue-grey hair. "I am not a slave, especially not yours, ho! You're /my/ slave!!"
"Nyeehhh! Fine! I still have my precious Miya."
"W-what?! Don't bring me into this!"
I looked between the three of them, and from that moment forward I knew they were going to be my best friends.
