Chapter 4

     Yo, all of you! Lol it's back to me again ;) It has been quite a while, hasn't it? Well, here we go!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reina's POV         

     "Honey!! Come down here and have dinner with us!!", I heard mom's voice from the dining room.

     "Coming!!", I screamed so that mom can hear it.

     I took a glance at the clock, it said 7.12. Daddy must be home now. I sighed a long sigh then walk to my bed. I opened a plastic bag which I brought back home some time ago. It was the matching ribbons with Albert, Anthony, and Vivian.

     In Seinze, we were free to choose and wear our ties (for boys) and ribbons (for girls). It was said that the more expensive the tie or ribbon was, the higher rank we would get. But we didn't really mind about rank or how many people that adore us, we thought more about our friendship. And I... also wouldn't like it if we had to be separated.

     The memory of our childhood rushed into my mind. When the first time we met, when we played in the park, even.... when that incident happened. I shook my head to erase what I've been thinking for a while. I stared at the word embroidered on the ribbons, éternité. I folded the ribbon back to the plastic back and walked out of my room, meeting my mom and daddy for dinner...

***

     My phone rang loudly just when I came back to my room after breakfast. It's Anthony.

     "Hey, Ton! What's wrong?"

     "We're downstairs."

     "Really?!? Awesome! I'll be there in a minute!"

     I rushed out of my house to find Anthony and Albert out there, with a brand new car.

     "Woahhhh! Whose car is this??", I walked around the car to take a better look at it.

     "Mine!", Albert showed his narcissistic pose.

     "Ewhhh...", I replied and showed him like I threw up.

     They both laugh until a girlish voice heard.

     "Hey!!!! What's with that uniform???"

     "Oops...", Anthony and Albert said in unison.

     It's Vivian. She lived just next door. That's why she didn't complain about my uniform anymore because... she had done it this morning.

     "What's this? A tie up until the collar?? And shirt in the pants??? Also this too-neat hair!", she stomped to Anthony and loosen up his tie, pull out his shirt out of his pants, and scrambled his hair a little.

     "And you...", she continued as she walked to Albert, "This is a formal event, you know? So button up all of your buttons, of course not the top one, and wear your tie properly!"

     "Yes, ma'am...", they both answered with no energy.

     It was always like this every year. On the first day to school, we would be "inspected" by her. Well, she was kinda like a fashion stylist for us.

     "Wew!! Whose car is this???", she screamed out suddenly.

     She reacted now?

     "Woahhhh! A racing car, Rein! Cool! We're going to school with a racing car!"

     I smiled slightly at her while I entered the car quietly.

     "Come on! You guys don't want to be late, right?"

***

     "And now, let's hear out a speech from the student who has the highest score of the entrance exam, Anthony Boyd!"

     I could see Anthony walked to the stage and gave a speech. After a while, we were disbanded from the hall and went out for a break. We had to come back later for extracurricular presentation.

     "It took quite a long time!", said Albert.

     "Yeah, anyway, why don't you tell us about your score?", I asked in curiosity.

     "Well, I just don't want all of you-"

     "Boyd! We need your help! The computer in the laboratory is broken!", someone interrupted our conversation.

     "Okay, I'll be there!", Anthony replied, "See ya!", he said while taking off with a spell to fly.

     Just before we continued our conversation, of course without Anthony, someone called one of us again.

     "Yo, Albert! You enter here? Come to our soccer club and help us!", said one.

     "Albert? You mean Albert Midford? Woahh! You have to enter basketball club!", said the other.

     All of a sudden, a crowd was there and took Albert with them.

     "It seems like they're pretty popular, isn't it?", said Vivian as we strolled around.

     "Vivian Leony! Oh my! The fashion legend is here! Come, you have to help me score the tests of fashion faculty!", one of the teacher that passed us exclaimed.

     "Emm... I can't, now. I have to..."

     "Come on! You know I am a friend of your mom...", I can't hear the conversation anymore cause they've walked too far away.

     "All of you are popular!", I mumbled as I walked to the canteen, hoping that this break wouldn't last long.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 3

N.Z ~ (Cindy's POV)

(AN) Sorry for the long awaits... ;D I'm really busy with school projects so I don't have time to write new post. So, continuing J.L's story, this is mine...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     "Cindy, c'mon! We'll be late," my mom kept on shouting at me.

     "Wait a minute!!! Please...," I beg.

     "What are you waiting for?"

     'Jonathan', I answer inside my heart. How could I possibly tell her that I'm waiting for my boyfriend when she has no idea that I have one.

     Suddenly I heard the last call for my plane. Ahh... There's no use... Jonathan won't come. Why? Does he forget that I'm going today? Or maybe he can't skip class because there's something he must do? My heart broken into pieces. He lied to me.

     With heavy feelings, I walk towards my parents and we enter the plane. Journey to Tark's quite long, around 12 hours I guess. We'll arrive there around 8 'til 9 PM and I'll do my test to enter Seinze Academy a day after. The test goes on until night and for the upcoming days, I'll help my parents to tidy up our new apartment. What a very tiring week. If I'm accepted at Seinze, I'll start my school days next week without following the entrance day ceremony, which is good because I hate formal ceremonial thing.

     The plane flies off. I'm still thinking about Jonathan. He didn't come. It really hurts. I trust him. How can he forget? Or maybe... It's his own decision to not come. Maybe he wants to end our relationship. Maybe he already found another girl because he doesn't like a long distance relationship. Maybe he couldn't trust me. Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Many thoughts spinning around in my head like crazy. I can't stand it! I tried to sleep but I can't. Oh, God! Help me throw away these annoying things.

*****

     What a big apartment! How can dad afford to buy this?! I'm so shocked when I enter our new apartment. It's enormous!

     "Do you like it, Cindy?," my dad asked.

     "It's so big!," I replied.

     "C'mon. I'll show you something."

     I follow my dad to a door in the corner. Dad opens it and I saw a very big room. I think it's 3 times bigger than my bedroom back then in Rusch. It's already full of furniture and I know exactly that this is a bedroom. But, whom is it?

     "Don't say....," I look at my father and he nodded.

     "Yes. This is your bedroom, Cindy. And can you see the curtain on that side?," he pointed his finger to a large curtain on one side of the walls. "If you open it, you can see a big mirror. You can use it while you're dancing."

     A big mirror! That's what I always dream of!

     "THANKS DAD!!!" I hug my dad tightly and enter my new bedroom. I run around the room, open the curtains, see the view of Tark city from my balcony, and do anything that my heart tells me to do. My dad smiled and walk back to living room to help my mom with things.

*****

     "WOAHHH!!! You really make me envy Cindy!!!," Agatha shouted in the middle of our call.

     "Hehehe...," I laughed.

     "I really wanted to go there."

     "Then come," I said.

     "No way! The plane ticket is too expensive. I don't think I can buy it."

     "Ask your parents?"

     "They won't allow me to go."

     I know her feelings. Her parents are rich but they're really over-protective. Agatha rarely hangs out with us, even only to the mall, because of her parents. Suddenly, I remember something important.

     "Hey, I want to ask something. Did Jonathan come to school today?"

     "Let me think... Hmm.... No. I didn't remember saw him on classes."

     Agatha's answer pierced my heart. Then, where'd he go? My tears fall to my cheeks. How can he forget? I'm afraid that Agatha could hear my sob. I quickly talk to her,

     "I'll call you again tomorrow." I end our call.

     Jonathan... Jonathan... Why do you do this to me?

Chapter 2

     Hey, all of you! It's JL here! As the first chapter is written by NZ, so I'll take over the second one ;). First of all, like what we've said, it's basically going to be 2 POV, which means I'll write the other one. My character is Reina. Enough of my blabbering, let's dive to the story :D.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reina's POV          

     'Hey, Sis! Let's hang out'
     My cell phone vibrated. It's from Albert.
     'Where and when?', my fingers move through the keypad as I replied to him.
     'Hmm... Let's say Persian?'
     'When?'
     'I guess... Now? We're all here already ._.'
     'What?? You guys didn't ask me to join? Really, all of you'
     'Sorry, we'll be waiting ;)'
     Oh really, all of them, leaving me alone like this. I quickly changed my clothes and rushed out of my room. I went to the kitchen, where my mom was. She was cooking lunch then.
     "Mom, I'm going to Persian okay? I'll be back before dinner."
     "Okay, take care, honey.", she smiled at me then continued her work.
     I walked out of my house and suddenly I can felt the cold breeze on my skin. I walked to the mall, since it was not that far. Every once in a while I can saw the sentence I always saw, 'Welcome to Tark city, where all of your imaginations come true'. Just like what it said, or maybe you can say wrote, this is Tark, the capital city of Donne. It was the only city where magic was allowed. Though just some of the citizens may used it, and even less that may learn it. The government made sure that magic cannot be used by just any one. Even the ones who may use it had to help the city or even the country out. Well, it's not weird since this is the only place where you can learn and use magic.
     Just before I entered the mall, a flying car fly real fast before me.
     "Hey! It's for pedestrians!", I mumbled.
     It ruined my mood and I stomped all the way to the meeting place.
     "Hey, what's up, Sis?", Albert was the first one to greet me.
     "A flying cab, AGAIN.", I threw myself away to one of the empty seats on that table.
     "Don't be so angry, Rein. It ruins your skin, it's two days before entrance day to Seinze Academy. You won't want your skin has wrinkles, will you?", Vivian exclaimed.
     "She's right, about two days before entrance day. You've got to enjoy these days, Rein.", Anthony said as he patted on my head.
     "Talking about Seinze, how about your preparations?", Albert asked as he took his mocca and walked out of the cafe.
     "I'm ready!", Vivian skipped through her way to where Albert was standing, waiting for us to come out.
     "You're that happy?", I asked while matching up my steps with the others.
     "Of course! It's something I can be proud of.", she replied, giggling.
     "It's annoying, you see! How they are making us learn it forcefully and having us join the government right after."
     "But still, the uniforms are reallyyy cute!"
     "Hey, enough, both of you. We're going to buy matching ties and ribbons, aren't we? So stop arguing!", Albert took Vivian's hand and walked faster, maybe to make some distance between us.
     "Are you okay?", Anthony asked as we're walking alone.
     "Sure, why?"
     "You've been all grumpy for a while."
     Silence. I didn't answer him.
     "It's okay if you don't want to tell me, or us, but make sure not to ruin the mood okay?"
     I nodded as my approval while my mind was not in what Anthony was talking about. I was still thinking about my decision of entering Seinze...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Well, that's mine ;D. Oh, I'm so nervous now >.< Anyway, hope you enjoy it :D

Chapter 1

N.Z ~ (Cindy's POV)

     "Cindy, we'll move to another country."

     I can't believe what my mom just said. I'll move to another country?

     "Is it... For real?," I ask. "But why?"

     "You know... I work for the government and I must go to Tark to finish my work there. It's a very important job, Cindy. I hope you understand...," my father tried to explain, but I can't accept even an inch of what he said.

     "No! No way I can understand!"

     "You MUST understand, Cindy Laurent! We'll move in 3 days and you MUST prepare yourself for it!," my mom shouted.

     "WHAT?! 3 DAYS?! We'll move in 3 days and you told me just now?!" I'm shock. It's a very short time! I haven't told any of my friends about it, I haven't prepared anything, and mostly... How about my relationship with Jonathan? Will it end just because of this... this very unpredictable thing?

     "Yes, 3 days. Now finish your dinner and go to bed."

     "Nah! I'm done!"

     There are still many food left on my plate but I don't care. I don't feel like eating now. I just want to sleep and when I wake up, I know that this is all just a dream. I ran upstairs and locked myself on my bedroom.

     9.30 PM, I know that Jonathan still awake at this moment. I take my mobile phone, lie on my bed, and send him a short message.

     Jonathan, are u still awake? Can we talk? :(

     Just a minute after, I receive a phone call. It's Jonathan. I quickly press the green button and I hear Jonathan's voice from the phone.

     "Jonathan?"

     "Cindy? What happened to you?"

     Suddenly, I felt large tears dropping from my eyes to my cheeks. I can hold it no more. This feels really bad. I don't want to go overseas. I want to stay! I don't want to say goodbye to my friends and Jonathan. I need them.

     "Cindy? You're crying?," Jonathan ask again.

     "I... Will move to Tark in 3 days."

     Silence... Jonathan doesn't say anything. I keep on crying. Finally, Jonathan reply,

     "You're not lying, aren't you? Cindy... Is this real? You'll move to Tark?"

     "Yes."

     "Today is Friday, so you'll move in Monday?"

     "Yes," again, my answer is still the same. I don't know what to say. I'm too shock.

     "Just... Calm down, okay? Is there anything I can do for you?"

     "Will our relationship end?," I ask.

     "Why are you questioning that? Of course not." Jonathan's answer makes me feel better. At least I know that he won't leave me. "I must work on Saturday and Sunday, but I think I can meet you at the airport on Monday."

     I'm surprised. "Won't you go to school?"

     "I'll say that I wake up late."

     His answer really makes me laugh. He's that type of person, someone who will do anything that his heart tells him to do.

     "You must sleep now, Cindy Laurent. Press the red button and go to sleep."

     "Hahaha... Okay, okay. Good night. Thanks for making me feel better."

     "No problem. See you on Monday."

     "See you."

     I ended the call and put my phone on my desk, far from my bed. Mobile phones' radiation is very bad for people and I don't want to take a risk.

     I pull my blanket up and sleep. I hope, tomorrow, a miracle will happen.

N.Z ~ AN (Author's Note)

     Hello everyone!! Welcome to our blog! Actually it's my first time with this "blog" thing, so I'm quite nervous now lol. Anyway, talking about NZ's post, for the ones who doesn't understand what Mandarin is, it's Chinese. Though I have learnt it since I was small, I haven't master it, sooo don't ask me to write in it >.<. 
     Just like what NZ has said, we're going to post a story with 2 point of views (it's basically 2 POVs), which makes me excited. Haha, anyway, don't be afraid to leave some comments or send us some e-mails! It actually makes me glad and hmm... Happy? Well, I also want to say sorry if we make some grammatical errors and please criticize us then :D. See you next time and have a great day ;)!

P.S. 
     AZ is actually my real penname, I used it quite a few times already, but here I'm going to use both, so just use either of them to call me :).

Best regards ,

N.Z ~

     Heyyy... Let me introduce myself. My name is N.Z. Me and my friend, J.L, make this blog to relieve our stress in school by writing fiction stories (we're still in high school and trust me, our school is really a sleep-time taker). Our blog's name is in German, but actually we're not from Germany. Our country is in Asia and it's veryyy far from there. We use German simply because I choose German as my third language subject in my school (After my country's language and English)(J.L choose Mandarin). Me and J.L will do a two side POVs (Point of Views) in a same story, but we'll make sure they're not confusing.

     So, I hope you'll enjoy our stories. You can share your comments in our blog or you can send us e-mails. We'll be so happy. We'll try to update ASAP every week, if we're not busy with tasks and tests of course. Last but not least, thank you for visiting and God bless you :D
