Chapter 2: New start
Jonathan's POV
"Buzz..... Buzz"
"Hello? Are you answering this Johnny?"
".......Yes"
" Well then, you better GET YOUR ASS OUTTA BED BY THE TIME I GOT UP THERE, JONATHAN" Screamed the other line
"Ugh...... Fine" I hung up.
Lay in the bed for a few minutes, I stared back the window. The dim light behind the curtain makes my room look bluer than usual. I sunked back on my pillow.
'Can't believe it's 6.43 a.m. and she have already blown my ears off'
"Knock..Knock"
" I'm awake already! Give me a break, will you?!" I furiously walked out to the door and opened it
There stand a little girl with wavy hair and big purple eyes starring back at me. She looks like she about to burst out with tear.
"Ah, désolé . Je ne voulais pas être impoli! Je voulais seulement retourner le médaillon vous avez oublié à la mer!" She hastily pressed the locker into my hands and ran off.
" Hey, attend une seconde" I called her but her shadow has already disappeared.
' She's weird' I thought up while look down to my left hand. It's my golden locket. It's covered in sand and smell faintly of brine. ' I wonder where did she find it. Also how on earth did she manage to find my house?'
I stumbled back inside to get my clothes and put the locket in the box which contained the letter and some other stuff. I take a glance over the wall clock. '6.54 already. I better hurry unless I want her to murder me.'
After my morning routine, I come downstairs and into the kitchen. My sister has already there, sitting down at the dining table, sipping her coffee and watching some morning news.
"I didn't know that you like watching news on the television." I slowly walk up to the table to get some toast with milk and settle down for breakfast.
"How funny! Yes, I do like watching news in the morning. You're just never down here early enough to see that. Also, you are early today. You usually hide under your blanket until I drag you out. What's with the change?" She teased me
"Perhaps it could be an annoying voice yelled through my phone just to kill my mood" I sarcastically looked at her while chewing my delicious butter toast.
"Whatever. So why did you get up so early today?" She looked back at me, her eyes questioning me.
"Did you notice any little girl with purple eyes coming up my room this morning when you called me? She said she came to return my locket and then somehow disappeared." I told her.
"What are you talking about? There isn't anybody else in the apartment beside you and me this morning. Beside, how did that girl you were talking about possibly know where you live? Even after you had moved in with me?" She surprisingly looked back at me.
I raised my eyebrows. How come? It indeed intrigued me. That little girl cannot be a ghost or something. I've managed to receive the locket she gave me. Who could she be?
"Oi! Jonathan! Are you going to wear like that on your first day at high school?"
"Hm..? Yeah? Why shouldn't I wear like this? It looks pretty normal to me." I shrugged
"An old T-shirt and worn out jeans? You've got to be kidding me! Just go change into something that actually scream proper manner ." She rolled her eyes
"I don't have that much new clothes though, so how am I suppose to change into something different?" I whined
"Dad gave you some of his, why don't you wear them? It's still good and doesn't smell that terrible."
"But they are big! I'm not going to fit into those!"
"At least they are better than the rags you are wearing. Go change! And be quick so you won't be late for school!"
"Fine" I grumbled as I got upstairs ' After all, there's nothing special about today. Why do I have to wear something nice?'
I changed my clothes, grabbed along my bag and come to the front door as fast as I could. My sister has already there, muttering something about me being a lazy ass. I got in the car and put my headphones on. 'What's so special about this day anyways?' I wondered as I looked out the window.

......In another world......
Jules's POV
"Jules! Are you done taking a shower? Come down and have breakfast dear!" A voice called from downstairs.
"Yes, mom. I'm coming" I responded
'Hm, what do I have to bring to school? It's the first day so maybe teachers will only show us new class and give us note. I'll bring some note and books in case then.' I sighed as I walked down to the kitchen. My mom is cooking breakfast and getting ready for work. My dad is already gone because he always has early shift in the morning. I sat down on the table and mom brought me pancakes.
"Here's your food. Eat up sweetie, then get ready to go school, ok? Oh, and are you sure you want to take the school bus? I could take you to school myself, you know." My mom gave me a caring look as she put down the plate.
"I'll be fine. I'm not little anymore." I smiled lightly and ate my breakfast.
"Oh, I know. But I always want to see my daughter's first day at school! You've grown up so fast" She sniffled
"Mom, I'm going to high school, not getting marry!" I blushed
"Ok then. I've gotta go now or else i'll be late!" She kissed me on the cheek and rushed out the door
I sighed. She always says that whenever I go to school on my first day. I love her enthusiasm but sometimes, it's just overloaded. I grabbed my back and got to the front door. Lock it behind, I started to walk along the pavement. Put my headphones in, my favorite playlist is on.
'Heyyyyy Juliet! Hey Juliet!
Hey I've been watching you!
Every little things you do.
Every time I see you pass
In my homeroom class
Makes my heart beats fast....'
The bus is running near up to me. It stops and let me up.
"How are you doing today Jules?" The friendly bus driver - Joey Alter - smiled brightly to me
" I'm feeling great today though I'm a little nervous on my first day at school. Can you take me to Northwest High?" I smiled back to him
" Right away, my dear. Just take a seat and this bus will get you there in no time!" Joey laughed heartily and hit the gas pedal
The bus slowly moved on the road. My emotions are messed up right now, both nervous but at the same time thrill with excitement. I look out the window. The trees're moving along the road. The sun shine gloriously through the leaves. Busy cars drives around during first morning rush. I'm excited to the top. The bus suddenly stopped.
"We're here, Jules. Northwest High School. Enjoy your first day at school, young lady!" Joey opened the door.
I stepped down. Look around, the view is spectacular. I couldn't believe this is my high school. Green trees, open blue sky over the field, huge facilities. This is definitely awesome.
I walked up the school yard. ' I wonder how great this day could be. Hopefully there will be more surprises up ahead waiting for me inside'
