It was a cold morning in Tsuinada when I was about to be late for school for the 3rd time in a row. "What time is it?" I asked myself. When I opened my eyes and looked at my clock. It was 7:53AM. This is ridiculous, how am I supposed to get ready in a minimum of 30 minutes? Slowly without caring at all, I put my winter uniform on and went downstairs to brush my teeth. My name is Ami Furukawa.  I'm 16 years old, and a 2nd year in high school. Recently I've been late to school for a frequent number of times. I just can't seem to get up in the morning. Of course I use my alarm clock, to read the time and that's, whenever I hear that annoying *beep* noise, It makes me want to throw It out of the window, so I decided to just make it a clock for reading time and that's it. I was done brushing my teeth; it was white and pearly, just the way how I liked it. Before leaving the house I would always check my mom's room, hoping that she was there in her bed sleeping, but when I checked she wasn't there. Sometimes, the thought that my mom is never home is starting to make me sick. I closed the door and headed outside. I could still see the morning dew on the cars, it didn't look much sunny outside because it rained yesterday. The floor still had puddles of water on them. I love the way how the air smells after it rains, its calming to me. When I checked my watch, it was 8:08AM. What a pleasant surprise, I might actually make it on time to school today, I didn't even try to rush or anything while I was leaving my house either, this is great. I tried walking a little faster, thinking to myself that I would get to school on time. But then all of a sudden this boy on a bike almost crashed into me. He was wearing the boy's uniform from my school. "I'm so sorry! It's a good thing that I didn't crash into you right?" He said to me. I ignored him and just kept on walking, I couldn't afford to be late for school again. When I reached the doors of my school, I heard a faint voice behind me. "Hey! It's not very polite to ignore someone, you know I could've crashed into you and hurt you real badly, you're so lucky you're a girl or else, I wouldn't of even given a damn." He said to me. "It's okay Ami just ignore him, you know he doesn't mean it." I thought to myself.

As soon as I arrived to my classroom the bell had just rung for homeroom. I was so happy that I made it on time for school, although my face didn't show it much. Everyone was staring at me, as if I was something they've never seen before. Honestly, I couldn't blame them though; I did stand out when looking at me in a crowd. Maybe it was my blazing red eyes that gave me away. I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder; I turned around to see that it was the boy on the bike.  He was panting like he was out of breath. "Who do you think you are? You didn't even say anything when I nearly ran you over with my bike" He said. "I'm sorry; I was in a bit of a rush. I was trying not to be late for school" I explained to him. "Are you new here, I've never seen you before." His jaw dropped in utter shock. I didn't understand why he gave me such a look, I mean how was I supposed to know him when he doesn't even walk up and talk to me? "Aren't you scared of me?" I asked him "Why should I be? Is everyone else scared of you? To tell you the truth, I think you're red eyes are pretty cool.  ~The bell for 1st period rang~ "Oh well, that's the bell, I have to go" He waved goodbye and went on to his next class. I didn't understand why he waved to me and said goodbye. We were in the same homeroom so obiously we would be going to the same 1st period class.

I stared at him as he left our homeroom. "Ms. Furukawa" A person shouted. I looked up; it was my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Nametame. "Ami, if you don't get up right this moment you'll be late for your next class" She said to me with a concerning face. "Right" I said slowly as I got up. She pushed me out of her homeroom. My next class was gym, there is only one word to describe it and that's "boring". When I arrived at the gym everyone was glaring at me. "YOU'RE LATE!" A boy randomly shouted at me from the crowd of students sitting on the bleachers. I ignored him and walked towards my gym teacher Mr. Mokadara. "Ami, you're late to my class all the time, do you have any idea how bad you're gym grade is?" "No, I don't" I said to him. He sighed at me "Well, it's nothing to be proud about. If you keep this up, I can make a good nice seat for you in summer school because you're failing my class." I gave him a blank stare.  "I just thought that gym was one of those extra classes you take to bring you're grade up or down, but I guess I was wrong" Mr.Mokadara glared at me as I sat down on the bleachers with everyone else.  "Okay class, today we're going outside. We could have been outside by now but Ami decided to come in late so you can all thank her for not getting a lot of time outside"  Mr. Mokadara said. Everyone glared at me, but I didn't really seem to care its just gym, can't you go outside anytime you wanted if you weren't in school? Everyone went into the changing rooms to change into their gym uniforms. When everyone was done changing all of us, including me went outside. Everyone looked so excited to be outside; I thought it was kind of stupid though because there were a bunch of puddles on the floor. The sun wasn't even shining because the clouds were covering it. It seemed like it was about to rain again. Was I the only one who thought that? Mr. Mokadara told us that we would be playing baseball so he picked two captains and the captains picked the people they wanted on their team. Ironically, one of the captains was the boy who almost ran me over with a bike. The other captain was this girl named Cordelia. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes, you would think she's an innocent shy girl but she's just a snotty rich kid, I really could care less about her, people like her are the worst. Mr. Mokadara randomly picked the boy to start off picking who he wanted on his team, and then Cordelia went. I could tell just by looking on her face expression that she wasn't so happy that she didn't get to pick first, how childish. Just Like how it always went, the boy and Cordelia picked the most athletic kids in our gym class and then the average kids, then the kids like me, the "nerds" as some people would say. I'm not a nerd, but I never really participated in gym class before so people would think of me as someone who doesn't have a lot of physical strength. I was tired of standing around waiting to be picked when finally Cordelia picked me. "Why me" I whispered to myself "What was that?" Cordelia snapped at me. "You don't want to be on my team?" I laughed lightly "Don't jump to conclusions, I didn't say that" "Well" Cordelia paused "Well, u should be grateful you're on my team!" "Right" I said to her sarcastically. After I said that she didn't say anything else, looks like she didn't pick up my sarcasm, how could she not? I made it pretty obvious. "Okay!" Mr. Mokadara shouted "Let's play ball" The captains decided the batting lineup and the part everyone would play on field. As you all know, a regular baseball team only has 9 players in it, so both the captains picked 9 people to play special parts and all the other "leftovers" would just be people on a random spot on the field. Unexpectedly, I was the 3rd one to bat. Everyone on Cordelia's team was pissed off at the decision she made because everyone thought I sucked in baseball but not just in baseball, every sport as well. My team would bat 2nd and the other would bat 1st. Cordelia made me be in the center field, all the way in the back. As I expected, our team sucked really badly. I wanted to give Cordelia a piece of my mind but I held my anger back. The whole time I was on the field no baseballs came at me at all so I had no chance to catch anything, it was so annoying because I really wanted to show these losers who a real player is. As I looked up to the sky, I sensed that a rain storm would be coming in soon but I didn't know when, and suddenly I heard a voice shouting at me saying "Hey you loser! It's your turn to bat, don't have your heads up in the clouds. I walked over to get a bat. When I got my bat I felt a small drop of rain fall on my head but I didn't care, it was my turn to bat. When I walked up and got ready to bat, everyone was booing at me, it was so annoying. I wish they would just shut up. When the pitcher threw a ball at me I swung and missed he threw it again at me and I missed, I thought to myself that if I missed one more time I would be out, and that wasn't an option. When he threw the ball at me I imagined Cordelia's big fat face and swung my bat at the ball. I hit the ball so hard the wooden bat broke and the ball went outside of the field. Everyone was every silent after that, they didn't expect that to happen. But a few seconds passed and then they started to cheer at me. Even the loosing team cheered at me, because I made a homerun and Mr.Mokadara said that if anyone would hit a homerun, no matter what the sore, they would be the winning team. I stared at the sky once more and something strange happened to me.

When I looked up into the sky I saw Cordelia's own future, I saw her getting struck by lightning. In the end she ended up dying after. Am I seeing the future? I asked myself as I looked down from the sky. Is god trying to tell me something?  Even if that were true I didn't understand. I didn't know where this was happening, so how could I save her? I tried to get Cordelia in my eye sight quickly when my eyes saw her. She was walking across the felid. I ran as fast as I could to her so I could protect her just in case what I saw in my vision had been true when I caught up to her she noticed me panting right behind her. "Ami, what's wrong?" She asked me. I didn't respond, I was panting too hard to say anything at all. "Oh man Ami! You were great out there, I'm sorry I doubted you at first" She said to me energetically. When I finally caught my breath I couldn't say a word, I mean I was trying to say something but nothing would come out I couldn't move my body or legs either, it was like someone was controlling me. It felt like someone was forcing me to say something I didn't want to say. And they were trying to move my body as well. "Ami, are you okay? You seem strange" She said with a concerning look. I responded to her "D-d-die" While stepping back. At this point, it felt as if I had no energy left to fight back to the person who was controlling me so I just let them take my body over. Just exactly who was controlling me? Cordelia gave me a furious look "Is that supposed to be some kind of joke because I don't find it quite funny!" I heard thunder and I knew what was coming. "If you think you can get away with saying things like that, then you're wrong!" She shouted so loud everyone turned around to see what all the fuss was about. Right after she said that there was a thunder noise so loud I bet people could hear it from miles away. But the only thing I did was stay silent, walk back and whisper "Die" to myself. Cordelia got so mad at me she ran up to me with her hand formed like a fist; I was so scared I didn't know what to do.

       As soon as her fist approached my face, almost punching me, a bolt of lightning hit the both of us and we passed out cold. At least, I thought I did because I woke up finding myself in the nurse's office in a bed. What happened? I asked myself "You killed a girl" A voice in my head answered to me. I rose up quickly in the bed. "Who are you?" I asked myself. "I'm you" The voice told me while lightly laughing. "It took a while but I've finally woken up after all these years" She said "Woken up? What are you talking about? This is making no sense to me at all" I said to myself. I looked around the room that I was in, it was empty, and the only thing I saw was a glass of water on the nightstand right next to me. "I want my body back, so do you mind giving it back to me already, I don't plan to be in here all day" She said to me in my head angrily. I tried ignoring her but she was inside my head, I couldn't get her to shut up. I must be hallucinating so I took that glass of water that was on the nightstand next to me. "Don't you dare ignore me! I am you're superior even though I'm not right now, I could control every single thing you're doing!" She shouted at me in my head. I just kept ignoring her and drank the water in my glass. "Fine, don't believe me?" She said firmly. I don't know how it happened but this lady person in my head gave me the ability to break the glass I had in my hand. Luckily she made it break in a way that I didn't get hurt, how she did that? I have no idea. But the glass breaking made a noise so the nurse came in. She asked me what happened, and I told her that I accidently dropped the glass. She believed me and cleaned up the mess I made. "Nurse" I said bashfully. "Yes" She responded to me. "What happened to Cordelia?" I asked. She sighed at me. "Ami, you're a great person, you tried to save Cordelia but I think it was just her time to pass away" She said to me and walked out of the room. "Hey!" I shouted to myself. "It was your entire fault that Cordelia girl died; you wouldn't let me save her. Am I right?"But the only thing she did was laugh at me. She wouldn't answer my questions the whole time we were in the nurse's resting room. When I got up, it was only 4th period so maybe I could just sleep here the whole day. I feel asleep into a deep sleep.

I was surrounded in a black area, the walls were black, the floors were black .Everywhere was black. But the funny thing was, was that I could see everything, and I saw a woman slowly walking towards me with a grin on her face. When we saw each other eye to eye, I realized that she looked exactly like me, just shorter hair! We had the same face, same body, and even the same eye color. Was I looking in a mirror? I finally got the guts to ask her who she was. "I will repeat myself, I am you" She said to me. "I don't understand what you mean by that" I shouted at her. "Let's start over okay? My name is iKumi, nice to meet you" She held out her hand. I looked at her with a puzzled face. She sighed at me. "I can't explain to you what's going on, so, can we just do this?" She said to me. She looked like she was really stressed and sad at the same time. "My name is Ami, pleased to meet you" I said. We shook hands, and as that was happening, it felt like she was giving me power, the longer we held hands, the more power I felt flowing through me. When I thought I had enough I let go quickly. "I don't want to explain things now, not yet, Ami, you will meet another girl who is in the same situation as you, but I can't tell you her name so, look for her" She told me. "How are you so sure?" I said to her seriously. She laughed lightly, "let me put it in words that you can understand, it is simply" She paused. "You're destiny"
