Book 1: Phantom Melody (Abandoned)

Chapter 1: Family Secret Revealed

I yawned as I sat up in my bed looking at my beeping alarm clock, "This should be fun" I sighed as I got up and got changed into my new school uniform, "Sam? Time to get up" I said knocking on my sisters door and my other sister came out of her room in the same uniform, "Morning Jessica" she smiled as she walked passed, "Morning Jessie" I smiled following her. I cooked our breakfast while Jessiebell made our lunches, "Do we have to go to school?" Samantha whined as she joined us in the kitchen, "Yes, aunty had offered us to stay here as long as we went to the same school this time" I smiled, "If feels weird though, she even had to send use japanese language classes dvds" she sighed as I plated up the food, "She just wants to help out, without mum and dad around after the accident, we have to move on" I explained, "Plus she's just trying to help" I added. After eating our breakfast; we left for our new school, me and Samantha were put into the same class while Jessiebell was put in the class below us since she's a year younger, "Do you think we'll end up making the same friends like at our old school?" Samantha asked me and we made our way to our class after getting Jessiebell to her class, "Maybe" I shrugged as we turned to go up some steps, "Even if we don't, we'll still hang out together at home" she smiled as we stopped at a door, "Ready for a new life?" I asked my sister, "Ready as you are" she nodded before the door opened by itself revealing our new homeroom teacher.

"I see that you two decided to join us" she smiled, "Sorry we're late, our sister couldn't find her class" I apologised before she brought us in, "Everyone, these two are our new transfer students" she addressed the class, "My name is Blossom Jessica, I'm the oldest" I smiled shyly, "And I'm Blossom Samantha! The youngest" Samantha smiled energetically. After introductions we were sat in different seats, Samantha was near the front closer to the door while I was at the back next to the window, she covered a few things in our first lessons that we learned back over in England, the reason why we moved to Japan was so our aunt from our mothers side could look after the three of us closer to home, you see our family is very secretive especially when my mum and dad were alive, they died in a car crash on the way to the magic show that my dad's childhood best friend was performing, me and my sisters were sick that same night so we couldn't go with them to the show. After first few classes I heard a boy and girl talking about a local thief and how they were driving the girl's dad insane to catch him after resurfacing after years of not being around, "Wanna go get Jessiebell and eat?" Samantha asked, "Sure" I smiled as I got up and we went to get our sister, we ate on the roof rather than in the canteen with the other students, once home time rolled around none of us had made any friends yet but we concluded that it was because we stayed together most of the day.

"Finally home!" Samantha smiled as she plopped down on the couch, "Yeah but we still have homework to do" I commented, "Don't remind me" she sighed, "Oh come on, it's going to be easy since we covered all of it before" I giggled before heading to my room to start my homework while Jessiebell started dinner since it was her turn to cook. "Finished" I sighed as I finished the last math question, "I didn't expect the teacher to throw in some fraction questions when all we covered was calculous in class today" I smiled before getting up and stretched from sitting at my desk for so long, I looked behind me to see the only picture of my mum and dad in the house and it was the reason why I picked the room when we first moved into our house which used to be the house my mother grew up in, the picture was of my mum and dad at their wedding cutting the cake with smiles on their faces as they stared at each other with a loving gaze. I tried to ask my aunt about the picture but she would always make an excuse since I can only talk to her over the phone since she's always on 'business trips' as she calls them overseas, she claims to be a manager for an old friend of hers from high school who happened to be a very big traveller, which made no scene as she could have just just told me that she's a model manager instead of telling me how they met, anyway I studied the picture as I grew more curious about it and why it was there, I walked up to the picture and touched the grey frame before tipping and fell into the picture.
