Float : Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1 : Start of a new school life.

Dreams.. It is a beautiful lie that we want to live in.
No feelings of pain or sadness,
I wonder, is there an eternal dream?
Needn't have to carry the world's burdens on your shoulder.
A dream to live in is all I wish for.


"RIIIIIIIIIIING !!!!!!!!!!　RIIIIIIIIIIING! RIIIIIIIIIING! WAKE UP YOU LAZY PIG!"
The pesky alarm tune lock rang with such a sound that could shake the gods out of heaven.

As we can see... Our protagonist is here!
~Stretching out her arms, having perfectly placed locks, the sun shining brightly onto her porcelain like skin, the friendly creatures of the forest by her side singing along.
Well that's only something that happens in Disney films.

An atrocious beast awkening from the deepest slumbers.

A atrocious beast awakening from her deep slumber.
Growling an unknown chant as she throws the pest that had awaken her.
The ancient language of... "Teenager."

Ahh.. In real, The wicked beast is just your average teenager trying to get up for school.
A rather strange mammal in her nature, actually.
This specimen... Her name is "Xue"

"Urgh... I shouldn't have slept so late.... Damn... My first day of school...." muttered the half conscious girl.
With her eyes half open.. Wanting to fall and back into the warmth of her cozy bed..
She nochalantly walk or maybe crawled towards the bathroom.

A cramped and dimly lit bathroom it was.
Secretly wishing she could afford a new lightbulb she did.

Her usual morning routine.
Combing her unkempt hair, Cleansing her acne-prone skin gently, and brushing her disgustingly yellow teeth...
She gave a stare at the girl in the mirror.
Her expressionless face. Somewhat resembling the expression of a certain vampire's girlfriend.
Thick raven black hair were placed effortlessly onto her shoulders..
A somewhat normal looking face she had.
She had a small short nose that would become red at a pinch,
A set of grayish eyes that seemed like it was hiding a sorrowful story.
Petite rosy pink lips that never seemed to change from a frown.
White skin... that resembled the cold harsh snow. Snow... That was her name.
Snow.. White...

She stared and stared...
Daydreaming about a better tomorrow.
Daydreaming about a day she will smile.
Daydreaming about a painless day.
Standing in a beautiful non-existent world in her mind that had shut off the outside world.

*Riiing.... You're going to miss school...*
An annoying robotic alarm message she had set up, just in case she doze off. Which actually came in handy for her. She, being the paranoid type had set up numerous alarms in the strangest days and times, just in case.

"Oh crap.... I'm going to be late huh? There's no rush... I don't really care though..."
The relaxed carefree attitude was something to admire about, when most girls get worked up about being late, Xue doesn't care.

Rummaging through her drawers to find her new uniform..
It was a strange experience for her.. It was all new to her..
Changing from her comfy PJs into the  unfamiliar and uncomfortable texture of her uniform..
It was a rather plain uniform. But to her, it may be one of her prettiest clothes.. Sadly.
A burberry plaided skirt and a white blouse with a school badge on the left hand side pocket.
She proceeded to slide on her ankle socks while trying her best  to not have her bare feet touch the cold floor.

Walking towards the door as she twisted her long hair into a messy bun..
She started to feel a little hungry, maybe she had wasted her energy due to experiencing so many first times at once?
Holding on to her grumbling stomach, she hopped to the kitchen joyously for a meal.

With a big silly grin on her face, she opened the small fridge of hers for some leftover food...
Only to find a disgusting rotting smell... of fish maybe?
Pinching her sensitive nose, she slammed the fridge close.
She hated the smell of rotting food... As did everyone else normal in the world.

She gave out a sigh.
She was hoping to eat some delicious fish for breakfast...
She even left food... 2 weeks earlier... For this day..

"Mhm.... I'll just buy some on the way to school......" mumbled the sad Xue.
Pacing towards the main entrance, finally setting off to school after much dawdling..
Then she remembered.
With a full 180 degree turn, she was facing a small altar.
A picture of a couple layed there with dust and and ashes.
A middle aged couple that  resembled Xue..
They carried the same blank expressions... The face of someone sorrowful.

"Mum... Dad... I'm going to school again... After so long.....", she prayed in a low whisper..

Turning back towards the door,
She saw her student ID hanging onto the handles of the door.
Funny, she remembered it was in her room though..
But she was already accustomed to weird happenings in her home.

" Student Identification Card 

  Ravelyn Chinese High School

  Name: Tan 

  Student number: 20314

  Birth date : 2005 May 22nd "

Little does Xue know the secrets behind Ravelyn Chinese High School and the strange happenings that will occur later onwards!
