Chapter 1. Miku Jennifer William.

 The soft humming and frequent mechanical clicks echoed through the empty hallway, as the nurse in white scrubs slowly wheeled away one of their hospital's mortuary cots with a person on it.

Well..More then "person", I think the word "body" would be better

Another nurse stayed behind with the little girl as she blankly watched her mother being wheeled away on the stretcher

The girl was around 12-13, had a skinny build and a decent face. Her dark brown hair was tied into a ponytail. She wore round, thin-rimmed glasses. Through her glasses, one could see just how tired, sorrowful and desperate a person would be at someone's death.

Miku's legs suddenly give out and she kneels on the cold tiles of the hospital. Her glasses slipped from her ears and cracks on the floor as she bent.

"uh-Hey! Have some strength in yourself, young lady! You have to be strong at least for her sake!"

The nurse behind her tries to encourage her. But, Miku was unable to hear or understand anything, her ears were ringing so loud that it made her head spin when she fell on the floor clutching her chest. The nurse panicked and tried to carry her to take her to one of the nearest wards. Miku felt as if someone was choking her and tears began to stream down uncontrollably from her already red and puffy eyes as she tries to gasp for air.

Her vision starts to get darker and darker by the second,

When she suddenly wakes up.

.

Miku finds herself sweating buckets and reaching out to thin air by the time she wakes up. Her eyes were wide open with dried up tears at the sides.

Her blanket slides off her body as she slowly sits up rubbing her eyes. Her once mid-length hair now fell down her waist with layered cuts at the front, which could have given her a beautiful look if only she didn't have those messy bangs that almost covered her eyebrows.

Whenever her friends see her, they'd go like, "ooh! Here comes our Dazai Osamu!"(Dazai from bsd, cause she literally has his bangs)

"Calm down Miku, it's only another of your nightmares.."

She reminds herself while she was getting off the bed. Her room didn't have much, one bed, one wardrobe, a table with her books and laptop, done.

Her bathroom had an attached full-body mirror, so she'd make a use of that whenever she needed.

Miku basically sleep-walks into the bathroom, she looks into the mirror and furrows her eyebrows slightly, as if trying to examine her face

After staring for a while, she says-

"Once again....You look like shit."

Yes, she says something like that to the mirror every single day, as if it is her motivation for living.

Yesterday, it was, "Damn! I look dead😧"

The day before that,"What's up,

So...yeah..that's how it goes...

Miku starts to slowly detangle her hair with her fingers while keeping her toothbrush in her mouth. It has turned into a daily routine.

To be fair, Miku doesn't look that much of a "shit"...she's just......got her own ways. Like, if she were to take good care of herself she would be considered a beauty in her class, but....for better understanding, let's just say, her classmates state that she is inspired by the "how not to dress to impress a man" video.

She keeps those "Dazai bangs" for a reason.

After putting some concealer on those dark circles, getting dressed and organizing her bag, just as she was about to open the door of her room, she felt something soft rubbing against her ankle.

Miku looks down to find that her cat just woke up from her nap. She squats down and starts petting the cat gently.

" 'Morning, Crystal. Had a good sleep?"

The cat's snow-white fur felt nice against her skin as it purred softly.

Miku goes down the stairs to find her house empty. Well, it was a good sign.

No people, no drama

.

She still hadn't finished her sandwich that she bought from a shop on her way to school when she entered the gates of Evergarden Royal Academy.

This was one of the oldest schools in the nation, where only nobles and children of high-class families go to.

And how did Miku get in? AND is affording to stay here?

According to her, it was just pure luck. The entrance exam was hard, but she got in and got a scholarship as well.

She genuinely loved it here with all the other students and all. Unlike her old school, all the people came from wealthy and up class families. And so, they had good Taste in many things.

And no, everyone was nice, she wasn't getting bullied or anything for being the "scholarship kid".

Miku finishes that sandwich before entering the building and goes for her class in the girls section. Everyone had identical uniforms. Their uniforms consist of a black fitted blazer with golden buttons, and a golden brooch at the lapel. They had black and gray plaid pleated skirts which were exactly two inches above the knees. From under the blazer, their black and golden striped tie was peeking out. Many girls paired their uniforms with black tights, legs warmers or long socks. Miku was one of the girls who wore tights.

As she entered the class and sat on the seat beside the window, she started to plan what she'll say to her manager to skip work today. She didn't want to go to work today cause she had an audition in the evening.

Her manager is one hell of a woman. She might yell at you for literally looking at a customer's hair wrong. Last time, she fired a girl because she talked to a customer like, "listen, girl" Instead of "listen, Ma'am" (the customer was her friend from school)

So, yeah, you get the deal.

Soon enough, Miku started day dreaming about what might happen if she were to get chosen in the audition.

"Man, that'd be real good", She thinks to herself.
