Michelle is going on to college! In high school Michelle was head cheerleader, secretary of the student council, and validictorian of her class. She was definetley one to admire. Now that michelle is going off to a top-notch school her dad sees fit in her just keeping her mind on her education. Why? Who knows. Maybe her dad knows something that Michelle doesn't, but nevertheless, Michelle agrees. When Michelle and her parents move, she decided to stay a studious student and has succeeded.. until now.

The first day of college Michelle bumps into a familair guy. She doesn't know who he is, but Michelle knows that she has seen him before. She ponders where she has known him all day, meeting some new friends along the way. Who is this mysterious boy that seems to keep Michelle guessing? Well, it's quite a story.


When Mirrui was 12 she became bestfriends with a guy named Daiskue. He was defintley one of the popluar boys that all the boys looked up too. Fortunatley, they were neighbors so they became close pretty fast. Well, as soon as Michelle found out she was moving away from him, due to her father's promotion, she feaked out. She couldn't muster the courage to tell him, but someone had already told Daiskue, they figured he had already known since everyone else did. The last day of school Michelle figured since she couldn't tell him face to face she would write him letter. She stuffed it into his backpack on the bus ride home, since they always sat together and waited for his reponse.
The note reads:

Dear Daiskue,

I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you, but I am moving. I don't know where, my father resfuses to tell me, but I am going to miss you and I hope we get to still see eachother in the future.

xo- Michelle

Unfortunatley, Daiskue didn't get this note until the last class, but he had the class with her. Since they weren't doing mcuh anyway he wrote her a note in repsonse, waiting until the bell would sound to hand it off to her. When it finally did ring he ran over to her desk and gave it to ehr, but he didn't wait for her to read it. He just ran off as fast as he came around. Michelle opened it up and the note simply said:

Michelle, Suki Desu. [ I love you in Japanese. ]

Well, now since you know story that Michelle can't seem to remember, what do you think will happen? Could this boy really be Daisuke? [[ Of course it is! That'd be no fun if it wasn't. ]]

Girls-- ♥

Gaia Name: NiniTheNinja
Name: Michelle Koizikaze
Age: 18
Bio: Michelle grew up with both parents and a younger brother. They were a average middle-class family. They were happy and couldn't complain about too much. Michelle was always the one who didn't stand out in the family. Her father was a executive in a high corporated business and her mother was a stay at home mom, but worked just as much as her dad, and her little brother was too young to be anything yet, but he was already admired over her. When she turned 10 she got a new next door neighbor. She thought he was cute, but she was too shy back then to ever say anything to anyone. Fortunatley, her neighbor, Daiskue, wasn't and he came over the first day to introduce himself, along with his mother. Michelle and Daiskue immediatley became friends, bestfriends to be more exact and even though they didn't spend everyday together, they were close enough. One day, out of the blue, Michelle's father came to them and told them he got promoted to President of the corporation and that they would be moving. He refused to tell the family why, but Miruui felt it was because he wanted to get her away from Daiskue. She couldn't bring herself to tell Daiskue though, so she wrote him a note and when he read hers, on the last day of school, she got one in return. When she read it, she felt like crying. She didn't want to leave him and even though she was young, she felt that he was one of the only few people she could always trust in. When Michelle's family moved to a high-class neighborhood, she never saw Daiskue again, they didn't even exchange mail, even though she mailed him almost everyday. When she came to school out here she became involved in sports and clubs and was ahead of her learning grade. She was also very popular with the boys, but she wasn't worried about them, she was worried about getting into college and moving on with her life. Now, almost 7 years later, she is going off to college, one of the best in the country and on the first day of school she bumps into a young man who looks exactly like her first love, but she doesn't exactly remember herself how she knows him.
Personality: Michelle is a rather unique girl. She does all the girly girl things, yes, but she is also a tomboy. She likes to hang out with the guys just as much as she does with her girls. That's not what sets her apart from her group of friends though. The thing that makes her so very popular is her unique skill in cheering people up. She's the type of friend who would call up a friend, who is having a bad day, and ask them to come to Hawaii with her. She loved being spontaneous and random. She thinks that if you want anything suprising and exciting to happen to you, first you have to be suprising and exciting. She loves doing new things as well. So far, she has done all of th4e sports she sees as completeley extreme and can't wait to go shark diving later on. She likes to spend time with her family, but for some reason her father setsthem aside a lot, so she barely sees him. She doesn't let it get to her though, instead she tries to spend a lot more time with her younger brother and her mother. Her mother always seems to be down, so at home Michelle is always cheerful and perky to help cheer her up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. All around, Michelle is just a good person and a great friend. She is someone people rely on for help and believe in.

Other: Michelle loves butterflies. If she has the time she likes to go to huge gardens and wtch them flutter around. She also spends some of her time playing the piano. [ She can't remember how she got into it, but she never stopped playing. ]


Gaia Name: -Musical Gillybean-
Name: Sara Arima [Michelle's Bestfriend
Age: 18
Bio: Sara grew up in a normal household in a middle-class area. She had her father and mother, who were the best parents anyone could ask for. They were kind and generous people, very determined and hard-working. Her father owns a small cafe where they both work, it doesn't make a lot of money so to afford Sara's education her mother and father both got a part-time job as well as working at the cafe. Sara usually works there in the summer to help out, when she was little she used to hang out there all the time. Admiring all of the baked treats that her mother would make, her father mostly handled the business part of it and her mother would actually work there, baking everything that they sold. Sara always looked up to them when she was younger, they were always working so hard but the cafe was never that popular. And they didn't care. They loved that cafe so much even though it wasn't making a ton of money, and her parents worked together all of the time which made them grow even closer. Sara wished that she could bake like her mother but she is a complete wreck in the kitchen, she just can't cook anything. She has a good sense of humor about it though, she loves to laugh and smile. She can be a bit emotional but she doesn't like to be seen crying, her best friend Michelle can always cheer her up. Sara is a bit jealous of Michelle because of how her friend seems to be perfect in every way, when your friends with someone like Michelle you end up being a bit ignored by others. Sara doesn't mind though and she isn't always jealous of Michelle, she more wishes that she was more like her.
Personality: Sara is quieter then Michelle but she is not shy, she just prefers not to talk a lot. She is a bit cautious and doesn't like to go out of her comfort zone, she just likes to stick to normal things and isn't very adventurous. She is smart but she isn't an over-achiever, she can pull off A's and B's. She has never failed a class. Sara is very determined and hard-working just like her parents, she puts her best into everything she does. She isn't really into sports but she is a very talented tennis player. She sometimes thinks that there is an invisible spotlight on her, she is insecure about what people think about her but only a little. She is a very sweet and caring girl, she likes to help people out and hates to see people upset or unhappy, she isn't the best at giving advice to cheer people up though. She is very bubbly and upbeat, she always loves to smile. Sara is very optimistic.

Boys-- ♥

Gaia Name: Black_Daisys
Name: Daiskue Suhii
Age: 19
Bio: Daiskue grew up with his mother. He doesn't even remember ever seeing his father. He doesn't remember why his mother decided to move, but he was happy they did. When they moved he got to meet Michelle. Even though he was one to make friends quickly whevever they went, he was most intrigued by Michelle. Maybe because she wasn't like all the other girls. She was quiet and tried not to make a big fuss out of anything. He was happy when they became bestfriends and sort of formed a shield around hiself afterwards. He didn't want anyone getting in between their friendship, since he cared so much for her. After they became friends though, he noticed she was very popular. Everyone started to notice how pretty she was and how sweet. When Michelle moved Daiskue tried to find a way to make her stay. He wrote her a note and thoguht that if she felt the same way, she would stay. In the back of his mind she knew she wouldn't stay, but he hoped and believed. Two years after the move Daiskue's mother had a breakdown and ended up falling into a comma. She has been in the comma every since then, so when Daiskue was old enough he got a full time job and had to take care of not only hiself, but his hospitilized mother. He blames hiself for what happened to her since he was at school when she had the breakdown. While he was in high school he would stay by her bed side all day, writing stories and doing drawings for her so when she woke up she would know how the world was and be able to see it. He would draw things like the wheather and scenes he would happen to see during that day. Then a week after high school he found out he got into one of the most pretegious colleges in the country and gladly accepted the scholarship. Strangely, on the first day of school, a girl bumped into him that reminded him of Michelle. At first he shook it off, but later on he heard his friends talk about an amazing girl. He didn't talk about it though, he just let it sit there in his mind. Unfortunatleyuy, before he could go ask her anyting, his bestfriend asked her out on a date.
Personality: Daiskue is a really laid-back kind of guy. Even though, he is a work-aholic, he devotes most of his time to living out his childhood. He is simply put, a ladies man and always has been, but he does nothing out of the oridinary. He just acts as hiself and that seems reel the ladies in faster than any of his other friends can get. He is always playing the piano. When he was younger he remembered his mother would play to him and he quickly picked up the skill as well. He is also a very creative guy. He likes to make up compositions and writings. His friends say he isn't like the average guy. he doesn't stand out much from looking on the outside in, but if you know him well enough, you know that he is much more than what meets the eye. He likes to make people laugh, but would rather be the one laughing. He tends to smile a lot as well, and is willing to smile for anyone as long as they do not plan on making him regret it. His life has revolved around working up until now. Now, he wants to spend his time catching up on his childhood, the things he missed in life. He knows education is important, but it is more of a second priority. He's not really the reliable type, unless he knows it's something important, but he is a good worker when he needs to be.

Daiskue blinked a few times as the shrill ring of his alarm clock reverberated in his ears. After he finally realized that he had to get out of bed and go to his first class he groaned and slammed his hand repeatedly on the top of the alarm clock until the ringing finally stopped. He sat up reluctantly and yawned. You would think he would be excited for his first day of college...but he wasn't.

It wasn't that he didn't want to do well in college, it was just that he had sort of put education on his back burner. Yeah, he would do well, but no whe was more worried about enjoying the rest of his school years before he had to go out into the real world.

He pulled himself out of bed and hobbled into the shower. After that, he towel dried his hair, didn't even bother combing it (it woul fall into place), brushed his teeth, washed his face, made himself toast and some oatmeal, and left his dorm room. His class was half-way across the campus so he had to leave much earlier than the class actually started. He hoped he had given himself enough time to get there...

((Yeah, sorry...I'M SO TIRED!!))

[[ It's fine, don't worry. I apologize now for all my spelling mistakes I am about to make. ]]

Michelle was already up thanks to her dorm room companion. She was making quite the rukus and Michelle couldn't sleep through it any longer. Luckily, she had already taken a shower, so when he friend had used all the hot water she had no worries. She smiled as she passed her in the hallway of their dorm. [They are big dorm, big school, hug rooms.] The ran her fingers through her hair and made her way into the kitchen, fixing herself a quick breakfast. She threw two eggs into a pan and some bacon and made some toast. When she was done with her breakfast she noticed her friend wasn't down yet, so she placed her plate on the table and letft a note ontop of it, explaining her leaving so early. She wanted to make a good impression on her first day.

And with that she grabbed her backback and left for the courtyard. Her classes were in another part of the school and so she had to go across th courtyard to get into the other building. She knew if he took the long route through the school it'd probably be murder by now. She straightened her backpack and then noticed it was unzipped. She was scared that something would fall out, so she put all her attention on zipping up her backpack, making her attention fall away from where she was going.And her carelessness caused her to bump into another person, making her fall aways back and land on the ground. Her books and papers falling out of her backpack in the process.

Daiskue was too busy looking at the flyer for a "back to school" party that had been shoved in his hand that he didn't even notice that he was on a crash collsion with a girl. He jumped a little when he felt her bump into him and his gaze was immeadiately torn from the flyer. He glanced to the side a few times before he finally realized what must have happened and looked down at the ground. He made a face and crouched down to help her pick up the things that had fallen out of her backpack. "Sorry about that. I should have been looking where I was going."

It was at that moment that he looked up and got his first good look at the girl he had bumped in to. He stopped in min pick-up and couldn't help but stare at her for a moment. She reminded him so much of somone he had known a long time ago...She had the same golden hair...The same bright, blue eyes. He smiled to himself and continued picking up the papers that had scattered all over the floor. She looks so much like Michelle, he thought to himself. It was odd, actually, how much she looked like Michelle. He couldn't get over it. He kept glancing at her, just to make sure he wasn't going crazy.

Cloud had left his dorm early already taking a shower and gotten dressed he met the school team outside he had changed into black and white shorts with the same color sleeveless shirt.They were instructed to run four miles then do a variety of push up and other excercises.When practice had finished he took another shower and changed to his cloths in the locker room.Cloud had a few minutes to spare so he walked around the campus then leaned on the wall alone looking at the students enter the school.Cloud sighed and lifted himself of the wall,he slowly walked in was immediately taken in by the sounds of feet hitting the floor.Students were passing in groups .Some girls looked at him he just smiled.

Cloud walked up the hall heading for his first class but wastopped as somone handed him a flyer he looked at it "back to school party"he muttered.Cloud crumpled the paper and threw into the nearest garbage clan.Cloud thought about going to the party as he walked along the halls.
PostPosted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:38 pm


Michelle quickly sat up-right and started to gather some of her papers, shaking her head. "No, it's my fault. I'm really sorry." She sighed and thought about how it made no sense that she was trying to keep her stuff from falling out and it fell out anyway. She put her backpack in between both of them and neatly put her things into it. When she glanced up at him she shook her head and glanced at him again, just as quickly. I.. swear.. I know him.. She thought, holding her hand out to take the papers from him. "Thank you.. so much for your help.." She smiled at him, so she wouldn't have to take her eyes off of him. She knew him, she swore she did! She just couldn't remember who he was exactly. She picked her backpack up and slowly stood up, thinking about how she had to hurry to class, now she was probably going to be late. She kindly took the papers from him and gave him another sweet smile.

"I'm really sorry sir, but thank you for your help." She said with a quick bow, holding her backpack to her chest now. And with that she quickly ran off in the direction of her class. She took a quick glance back and then mentall beat hersulf up about not asking his name. Aw! Come on Michelle!

((...Is there a need to bump?? lol. I'm coming. I was watching something in the cinemas...Oh! Meet your mod for this subforum 4laugh ))

Daiskue stood up when the girl (God, she looked so much like Michelle!!) bowed and watched her hurry away. He gave another small smile and waved once. "You're welcome," he said quitely since she was already pretty far away and he really didn't feel like yelling. He knew she wouldn't hear him, but what did that matter? This was a large campus and they probably wouldn't see each other after this anyway. He brought his fist to his forehead as he started to walk away. He hadn't even thought to ask for her name and now, at the rate she was going, she was too far away for him to even try to run after her. Oh well, perhaps he would see her again...There was a possibility.

It was then that he realized that he had lost the flyer for that party. Hey, maybe she picked it up and she'll come to the party. If there had been any doubts about whether or not he would go to that party they were gone now. His pace quickened so he wouldn't be late for class. He wondered why he even cared so much if he saw her again. She hadn't seemed like anything special after all, just a pretty girl in a hurry to get to class. He shook his head. He knew why he wanted to see her. It was that striking resemblance she had to Michelle...

He finally made it to his first class only a few minutes late and slid into a seat in the back of the class. He settled into his chair and took out a notebook. This was going to be a long class. There was just nothing interesting "Algebra 101".

((hmmmm...I wish I knew what college was actually like! tehe ))

[[ Not really, I was just bored.. o.o;; -__- I don't have a cool place to be a mod. *Sniffle* ]]

When Michelle finally reached class she quickly took a glance at her watch. She sighed in relief, there were still 4 minutes left until class actually started. She put her backpack on the tables and tried to organize most of her stuff that had fallen out. When she finished most of it she came across a flyer. She tilted her head at the sight of it. "I don't remember.. putting this in here.." She read it carefully and then blinked a few times. "Back to School Party, huh?" She said with a small laugh. "That's a little high school isn't it?" She stuffed it into a side pocket on her backpack and then finished putting the rest of her things in it. Her first class was Sociology and she was definetley looking forward to this class. Next to choir class this would be her favorite one. She left her books out on the table for this class. The seats weren't all filled yet and the teacher wasn't anywhere in sight. There were still a few minutes though, and this was college, so she didn't mind it much. She looked around the class and smiled at all the people who were already in there. When they all exchanged names and such she turned back around to the table she was sitting at and introduced herself to her table partners.

Cloud yawned as he walked along the halls heading for his first class sociology he was already bored out of his mind as he walked into class glancing at the empty chairs he found a nice little empty chair near the end his favorite spot as he made his way there his eyes caught Michelle exchanging names with someone.Talwin gave her a smile and took his seat as he pulled out his book and other equipment.

[[ Aww, thanks. <3 *Hugs* And.. o.o Strange, I was going to say that. It's okay. It's 3 lines, so I'm happy. Where's Divine? T.T ]]

When the teacher entered the class he quickly went to the board, writing his name big and in neat writing. Michelle took out some paper and a pencil and wrote down his name. She always did that, it helped her remember the teachers better. She took notice of a guy who had walked in with some other kids. She smiled at him and then rested her elbows on the table, looking down at the teacher. She wasn't too far from him, but she was high enough in the seating arrangement where she couldn't look directly at him. She was excited for today's classes. It was the first day and she always loved the first day. Meeting new people, no homework, and the best day of lunch.

She looked up at the clock.10 minutes had already passed and the teacher was simply asking ice-breaker questions. She remembered that classes were going to be cut short due to the assembly they would have today. She thought it was a little high school for them to cut classes, but it was the first day and nothing was really going to happen anyway. Ater that thought they boy snuck into her mind. She shook her head, trying to erae the thought of him, but it was bugging her. She couldn't remember where she had seen him and her mind couldn't seem to find a better place to rest, but on him. She smiled, the thought of his eyes made her want to blush, but she controlled herself from doing so. She must've looked like a complete dork to him. She rushed off without even asking his name. She sighed. He didn't want to know mine either though.. She thought, snapping back into reality when she herd her name called. The teacher had asked them to introduce themselves and then say a random fact about themselves. She stood up and bowed. "I'm Michelle Koizikaze and I'm 18 years old. A random fact about me is that I love butteflies." She smiled and then quietly took her seat, lookin down at the teacher to see if he would approve. He gave her a nod and then went on down the line.

Cloud was playing with a pencil and paper as he scrippled his self portrait quickly on it as he listened to the teacher soon he herd the girls name as he saved it 'Michelle....common name..hear it a lot'he thought as he scribbled on the paper soon it was his turn.Cloud slowly got up "my name is Cloud and a random fact is that i love to play soccer"Cloud sat down and smiled,he fiddled more with his own self portrait as he added a earing to his left ear and changed the form of his eyes they were more fierce and unreliable.Cloud's real eyes were full of trust and innocense.Cloud moved to to his mouth then neck as he finished his portrait waiting for the teacher to finish.
