How It All Started [ON HOLD]

~2~

I groaned as I sat under a Sakura Tree, still upset about what happened in class.

"Hey Candy!" I looked up and smiled a little. "Hey Mimi, Sam." "You still mad about what happened?" Mimi asked as I stood up. "Yes! Because stupid Mr. Akiyama doesn't understand that what I said is pure fact! I read it myself!"

"Calm down Cass. Mr. Akiyama was just embarrassed that he got schooled by a girl!" Sam laughed. "A smart girl at that. I don't know how you remembered all that." Mimi said.

"I dunno... I guess it comes natural when its dealing with yo-kai..." I muttered. "Anyway, what's up?" "Oh! We wanted to know if you wanted to go to Nom Burger with us? Its not too far from here, so, we'll be back before lunch is over!" Mimi said.

"You wanted to know Miranda. I wanted to go check out Café Shanista!" Sam exclaimed as the three of us walked off school grounds and through the busy streets of Downtown Springdale.

"Café Shanista...?" I asked.

"Yeah! Its this fancy new café that just opened. I hear their Jumbo Parfaits are amazing!" She said.

"Well, I'm convinced! Let's go!" I exclaimed as we ran the rest of the way.

                          ~~~~~

"I can't believe you ate the whole thing!" Mimi said surprised. "Well yeah! Not gonna let good ice cream go to waste." I shrugged as we walked past the large construction site.

"Well, c'mon. Its almost time for class." Sam said when something caught my eye. When I looked, I saw a small red and black kitten wander into the construction site.

"Guys, that cat just went in..." I muttered as I got closer. "Ok..? Cass... Don't-" "I'll be back..." I muttered once again and ran in after it, blantly ignoring the calls from my friends and the construction workers.

The inside was dark and gave off the feeling that you could possibly die at any second if you weren't careful.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty.... Where are you...?" I asked, my voice echoing through the entire half built building. A soft meow came back in response.

My quick foots echoed on the metal beams as I tried my best to make my way over to the small feline.

The poor thing was curled in a ball right under a large self that looked unsteady and could fall at any second.

"Its alright," I cooed as I picked up the kitten. "You'll be outta here in no time..!"

"CANDY!" I jumped at the loud voice and I could make out the figure of a body standing at the entrance. "Candy, get down from there!" "But I have the cat, and be quiet..! You don't know if this shelf up here could fall or not...!"

"Whatever, just get down!"

"Fine... Hold on..." I muttered and was just about to move when the building violently shook, causing everything to fall to the main floor, including me.

My screams filled the building as I fell, thinking of all the things I wanted to do with my life, like get out of highschool, go to college, get a job, get a boyfriend even, but won't happen since I'm about to die.

I landed on a pile of wood and a couple of bricks and groaned, knowing that I broke something but I was alive.

"At least the kitten is safe...." I sighed as I looked up and my eyes grew wide. The same shelf was falling down, its contents stayed somewhat in place but they too started to fall.

I couldn't move, I couldn't get up, and my voice was gone. All I could do was watch as my demise got closer and closer.

"Candy!" I turned around as smiled at Mimi. At least she'll be the last face I see... I'm sorry Mimi and Sam... "Mimi... Tell mom I love her and that I won't be coming home tonight." I managed just as me and the kitten were crushed by the large shelf.

I could here her screams and cries as my hearing faded and everything went black.

Gasping, I opened my eyes and sat up.  "Am... Am I in heaven....?" I croaked out when I heard a laugh behind me. "No silly, your in the Yo-kai World!"
