Chapter 1: Intro, Run for it

 

A light breeze blew pink cherry blossom petals down from the trees outside. The wispy clouds against the gorgeous blue sky were a very pleasant sight for any eye to behold. Sunshine gleamed down from above, filling everything its rays touched with warmth and happiness. A faint projection of the moon could be seen setting far in the distance. Everything seemed perfect and at peace in the world at that moment. A young girl walked outside the doorway to her small home to greet the new day.

 

*Ah, another beautiful, clear, sunny day! The perfect day to............aw, who am I kidding? Another perfectly nice day that I have to go to school! (sigh)*

 

Sabrina stood on the steps, looking at all the beauty around her. Her long brown hair floated lightly on the breeze, the small braid in the back waving around happily. She stared at the sky and then shifted her violet eyes over to the obscure moon.

 

*Another faded setting moon......how beautiful....*

 

A sudden gust of wind almost blowing up her dark violet skirt shook the young dreamer out of her reverie.

 

*Oh, well. Even if I have to go to school today, at least I get to see my friends. And it's a nice day, so I should let that keep me in high spirits, not bring me down! Who knows, maybe I'll actually enjoy myself, for a change.....ack, I better get moving, or I'm gonna be late for first period again!*

 

Sabrina ran back to the door of her house, checked to see that all was in order, grabbed her book bag, locked the door and started towards her school. Meiou High, the high school she attended, was about a 20-minute walk from her home on one of the quietest streets in all of Tokyo. The rest of the city was always bustling around, but her neighborhood was quiet, peaceful and full of friendly people, which suited Sabrina just fine. It gave her plenty of opportunities to think and dream of the life and love she one day wished to have, even though she knew that nothing exciting would ever happen to a typical girl like her.

 

Looking down at her watch, Sabrina saw that it was 7:35.

 

*Oh no! The bell rings in 10 minutes! I better run for it! If I get another tardy, it's “Goodbye outside world” and “Hello detention hall”!*

 

She began sprinting along the many twists an turns of the sidewalk, being careful not to collide into anyone or anything along the way.

 

*Crap, crap, crap!!!!! Gotta move, gotta move!!!!*

 

When the school was finally in her view she began to slow down a bit, but didn't stop until she was at the large front doors.

 

*Phew! I have 5 minutes left. Thank goodness, I think I still have enough time to make it to my locker before homeroom!*

 

She walked in and saw many people lining the hallways, getting their last minute needs from their lockers and running off to homeroom. Sabrina walked the large expanse of the hallway to her locker and quickly trotted over to her homeroom and leapt through the door, mere seconds before the bell rang. Everyone in the class softly chuckled at her usual dramatic, last minute entrance. She took her normal seat in the front of the class near her friends and gave a hard sigh. It was looking like it was gonna be another one of those days….
