Chapter 1

I was awoken from my escape from reality (or basically sleeping) by a sound? A voice? A song? Or my sister screaming her head off like I wasn't only a meter apart from her.

Yup, nothing's changed.

"Get up Cerridwen!" Junko shouted from along the hallway, "you're going to be late or whatever."

"Late? But it's a Saturday..."

"You wish!"

I saw a tall woman in the hallway wearing a most likely expensive dress. She had soft, brown, wavy hair that went down to her mid back. Her skin was a bit paler than my light brown skin and her eyes were a sea-blue colour unlike mine. He lips were red and she had a thin black line right above her eyelashes.

She shot me a glare that honestly didn't effect me due to this being one of the hundreds of times she's used it on me.

This wonderful mistake of a human being my friends, is Junko, my older sister. She's 22 and makes more money than both of my parents yet she stays with us, yay(note my sarcasm). I remember Junko telling me that the only reason she stays with us is because of her 'image'.

Junko is the perfect definition of a diva. She has her own modelling career, acting career, fashion line so obviously she is famous. You might think that having a famous sister would be amazing but that's only in books and movies...The worst thing about her is that she barely acts like a actual sister and doesn't really pay any attention to me because she thinks I am a embarrassment compared to her but, she's family.

"Did you even listen me?"She snapped making me realise that I was daydreaming.

"It's hear and what did you say?" I said correcting her grammar.

"What are you, the grammar police?You're going to miss your first day at a new school or whatever."

Why does she care?

"Don't give me that look." She turns away and pulls out her phone, shocking (obvious sarcasm). "The only reason I am telling you is because if you don't go then Mum won't let me go to the fashion shoot for being irresponsible! So get your butt out of bed and leave!"

I decided to go with what ever outfit I could find in my wardrobe which includes;

Dark Blue jeans;
A white tank top;
A unbuttoned purple/pink flannel shirt;
A white crop jacket;
And some black ankle boots.

I honestly didn't really care how I looked and I always wanted to be unique and so why not start with my style?

I had toast for breakfast but I was very uncomfortable while eating it; it felt like Junko was staring at my every move even though she was in the other room. I just grabbed my toast and ate it on the bus ride to school.

*Half an hour later...*

This is it. My first day at a new school. I will no longer be the class nerd and instead, the old me will just be a faint memory. All I need to do is step on school grounds and I will be a brand new person.

Here we go.

Something feels strange. It's like I recognise something or maybe someone? This is probably just how people feel when they start a new school. I should just find where my classroom is and get the day over with.

So I found out it is A LOT harder to find a classroom than you think. Touri Academy is like a maze. I guess it makes sense: it is the highest achieving school in the country. This is why my parents wanted me to go here instead of my old school. I didn't have much trouble deciding; I was basically a nobody. I had no friends so that wasn't really a reason to stay there. This is why a new school would be like a breathe of fresh air.

I followed my map (yes I had a map) to the front desk. It looked like it was taken from a museum. Basically it just didn't look like it belonged in a school.

I walked to the desk to see a guy a couple years older than me on the computer. I bet you any money he was playing some game. He had pale skin, straight orange hair which looked natural and brown eyes.

"I haven't seen you around here before." He said reminding me that I've just been staring at him for a solid 3 minutes. "Or maybe you've just never been to the front desk before but that's impossible."

Does this guy mean he basically knows  everyone? That's so ignorant! I bet there are tons of people that he doesn't know. Like how no one knew me in my old school.

"You look angry, why?" He asked

"I'll have you know that I've been at this school for a very long time and you've just never noticed me." I lied

He burst out laughing.

"Nice to meet you new kid." He said cheerfully. "I'm Garret."

"Oh, I'm Cerridwen Arinai."

"Well that's a mouthful. Your new name is Lucy."

"But that's no-"

"So why are you at the front desk, Lucy?" Garret interrupted with my new name

"I just want to find my Classroom in block 13."

He looked like he was trying to remember something then called over to one of the two girls sitting beside him. The girl looked about the same age as Garret. She had short, messy, black hair that had a couple of hair clips in them. She had heavy dark make up and was chewing gum.

"Hey Elsa-"

"I swear if you're going to ask me to build a freaking snowman with you I'm going to make sure you can never freaking talk again" She threatened holding a pencil like a knife.

She didn't use freaking but you get the idea.

"Fine.... I'll let it go."

She pushed him off his chair.

Garret (now looking scared) told her about how I wanted to find block 13.

She just rolled over on her chair and wrote directions on my map with a red marker while chewing gum.

"There you go, sweetie." She said after writing down where I needed to go.

"Thanks a lot." I said then walked off.

"Good luck!" Garret yelled

"Try to make it past the first day, Lucy."

Have a great day and if you don't that is also exceptional.
