Chapter one hundred fifteen: "Ninja Skills"

"Penelope it's just a uniform" Daisy told me while leaning at the window sill all dressed up in her uniform, her hair was styled into space buns and she wore black leather school shoes to go with her white socks

I look at myself in the mirror
My first time wearing a uniform

"It just feels weird wearing a uniform" I fixed the red bow that I tied around my blouse that is tucked in my skirt

The school does allow students to wear any kind of shoes as long they follow the uniform they have been given out

Daisy told me some of her favorite memories of the first day in high school was, it was wild since people be coming to school in all sorts of weird shoes, others wore crocs, some wear no shoes at all

Since I brought some shoes that I managed to squeeze in my luggage I wore my black Dr.Martens boots, they were gifted to me by Aunt Holly and it looks cute in any outfit so I just brought it

We checked the time and we are 1 hour early before school started, I grabbed my comb as me and Daisy walk out of my room to head to the table where Ted was making breakfast

Daisy looked around the living room "Dad where's Mom?" She sat right after asking with me following her

Ted was washing the dishes and a loud yawn escaped from his mouth, he was so tired I can see a small tear fall out of his right eye "Your mother was called to organize the festival with other leaders of the community"

The festival is close and I just arrived here two days ago so it would be hectic for her and Ted, me and Daisy ate breakfast right after Ted washed the dishes he slammed his body on the couch as a loud snore came from him

We both looked at his sleeping body as he shuffled to sleep comfortably on the couch, I handed Daisy the plate of leftover tacos we had for dinner last night and finished eating our breakfast quietly

Slowly we tiptoed ourselves out of the house and gently close the door

"You'll get used to it" Daisy patted my back

"I don't think you have forgotten I have 6 sisters, 4 of them will be easily awakened from just a small sound. I think I mastered my ninja skills well" I crossed my arms and gave her a proud face where I tilt my chin up and gave her a huge grin

I felt my phone buzz from a notification while we walked to school

Yara has sent me a message

Yara: Just a heads up girl, I heard from Nick that Cloud has hired 180 people to search for you in Vancouver and in Quebec

Yara: I also think he is gonna hire more people to search for you in Montreal and Calgary

I turned my head to Daisy who was listening to music on her earphones, I tapped her shoulder so she stopped immediately and removed one earphone "hm?"

"Daisy how many cities, towns, or villages are here in Canada?"

She closed her eyes and made a small humming sound "I think there are 1,137 municipalities, why?"

My eyes widened
With Cloud's stubborn attitude he might hire people that can make a population of the entire city

I don't even wanna know if he has hired some people in other countries to search for me since he might think I left the country

Language is not a problem, money is.

That is why I came here to the seaside with the choice of working in the ice cream shop to pay rent and studying

Penelope: What about the twins? Have they made a move following Cloud's search for me?

Yara: I don't know what is happening between the trio anymore, every time someone brings up your name a heavy atmosphere would be felt from them. Peter even told he felt like Cloud is at the point of becoming crazy when he hung out with him during lunchtime

There was another message being sent to me, it was Peter surprisingly

Peter: Cloud is acting weird

Penelope: How weird?

Peter: He doesn't talk to all of us anymore and he goes home straight away right after school, he didn't neglect his studies so at least it is a small sign he is controlling himself

Peter: Your family has filed up a missing person case to the police, your sisters are also scary *sends scared panda GIF*

Both Yara and Peter explained to me that once my disappearance had reached the ears of Alice, Will, and Jane

They demanded to know what happened from Cloud but since Cloud was not interacting with them anymore they asked my sisters, they only told my friends about the Danny incident. They became furious

Yara and Peter don't know what they were doing because my friends kept meeting at Alice's place after school

Yara and Peter don't know what is going on so I have to ask Aiden since he might have a clue

He did reply but it was

Music Geek: Sorry Pip, I don't know either. Everybody has been acting weird lately

Pip: It's alright, thank you

Music Geek: No problem :)

Music Geek: By the way, I have a surprise for you

Pip: What is it?

Music Geek: It's a secret

Pip: Aw

I wonder what surprise is Aiden gonna do, I shrugged at myself then shoved my phone in my backpack then I fiddled with the strap of my bag, we both finally arrived at school early

My feet were frozen at the entrance gate as I stared at the new school
I'm afraid if I make a mistake the teasing and bullying would continue here

Just the thought of it made my palms sweaty, Daisy puts her arm around me and gave me assuring smile "Don't worry, you're Mia now" she whispered to me while the sides of our cheeks are smooshed together.
That's right, I'm no longer Penelope Price but as Mia Junifer now

With Daisy's small strength that she puts in her arm that was around me, forced me to continue walking again as we entered the gates. The moment we entered the campus it has made other students look at me with curiosity

"It's their first time seeing you, they all know one another in the school so they'll get used to you after a week"

The hallways that led to the classroom were worse since they were closer to me, all of them watched my every move as I went to my new locker. The locker was password locked and I have the right to put my password

Without thinking twice I put Cloud's birthday

0214

Great job Penelope you dumb fuck, it's only the first day and you just have to put his birthday to remind you of him

I sighed deeply
I guess I'll have to live with it until I graduate here

While I stand there getting angry at myself I heard my other name being called

"Mia!"

Mira was running to me all excited and jumping around the hallway, she was wearing the uniform with an oversized beige jacket on top and converse shoes to match. Her hair was neatly ironed straight and there was a pearl headband on her head

She gave me a huge hug, if I could describe Mira it's almost like she was Wendy, a little sister to me

Daisy and Mira pulled me to the classroom

"Welcome to class amethyst" Mira cheered

"Amethyst?"

"I forgot to tell you the seniors class section were all named in precious stones" she added
What a weird school

I opened the door to the classroom and all eyes were on us, specifically me but I try to hide behind Mira and Daisy. All the seats were assigned and since I'm new I would be seated at the very back of the classroom

Mira and Daisy were seated far away from me

Daisy knew she would be far so she pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her imaginary tears while looking at me

"Don't forget me Mia I will always have you in my heart" Daisy dramatically said to me and I rolled my eyes

"I'm only a few rows away from you" I shoved her lightly and we got into a fit of giggles

We heard the bell ring so everybody was getting ready to go to their seats, Mira winked at me while Daisy gave me a thumbs up

The teacher came and saw me immediately "It looks like your class has a new student, why don't you introduce yourself?"

The teacher was a lady in her 40's that has her hair in a low bun and her face still glow from happiness when in the classroom

I stood up straight
Gotta show them a new me

"I'm Mia, Mia Kathy Junifer"

"She's my cousin!" Daisy chimed in

The teacher clapped her hand once as a smile formed on her face "Do you have any hobbies? Talents?"

Before I could speak Daisy was already speaking for me "She's multilingual and can play the piano"

The teacher sighs "Thank you, Daisy. That was a nice introduction for your cousin even though you answered for her"

Everyone in the classroom chuckled and laughed a little as Daisy gave them all a sheepish smile

"We also have another new student" The teacher was excited

We heard the second door of the classroom open, I wasn't looking at the person because Mira kept giving me weird hand signals

"Why don't you introduce yourself, Aiden"
