Anna's Point of View
I walked down the street carrying an expensive handbag in my right arm as I check myself in a small mirror, while everyone is staring to me.
I so love getting the attention of these pests around me. I, myself is a very beautiful woman and everyone is right that they should admire me. I became this beautiful because of how rich my parents is. My dad being the CEO of his business is a key of being a happy child.
"Looking good, Anna!"
One of my schoolmates, Richard said. He's a hunk, but I always hated boys because they feel superior in this society.
"When didn't I look good?"
I boasted and chuckled as I continued focusing on my path to school.
"Well, everyday, you look good but you'll look better if you become mine"
Richard replied. It's such a boring reply from a boring student with failing grades.
"Oh thank god I don't want to look better"
I tried spicing him up since he's a hot-headed guy.
"I'll eventually get you and be mine"
He stared right into my soul when he said that. Ugh. The consequences of being beautiful.
-•-
I opened up my locker in this private school to get my things and organize it in my bag.
As I sit down on a table, my friends Shaina and Yuna arrived as well.
"Oh guess who went to school earliest?"
I shouted at them while my fingers pointed at myself.
"We were less earlier than you because there are new transferees in the school. And guess what? There's a new handsome guy!"
Yuna explained.
"Really? Are there beautiful girls? Because I only want to be the most beautiful girl here in the school. No offense"
I jokingly replied while pouting my lips. They just focus on organizing as well.
While I organize things up, my phone then ringed. There is a call from my mother. I quickly answered it, hoping for some good news.
"Hello, Anna? Your dad will pick you up later when the classes are finished. We are going to a trip. All your possible important things are already packed so there's no need to worry, okay?"
My mom said with a sweet voice. That's right! We should be going to a trip because our family truly deserves to relax from all these stress.
"Okay, mom! Don't forget to pack up my make-up accessories and buy me some new clothes! Bye now!"
After replying, I quickly hung out and went on to focus in school.
-•-
I really didn't get to focus in school because of the news mom said to me earlier. My whole mind was filled with our family trip and I'm very excited about it.
As the bell rings, I quickly rushed down to the school ground and to the school gate to find my dad's gorgeous car.
Right in front of the school gate, my dad's car was there parked and so I walked to it proudly to get everyone's attention. I even stood at the car's door to check my face from the window.
"Dad! Please open up this door"
I shouted in the front seat. My dad went outside the car just to open the door for me.
Inside, I saw my mom in the front seat together with dad who's sitting on the driver's seat, I sat beside my big sister, Aika and my cute little brother, Asahi.
As the engine of the car starts, I started to complain already.
"Where's my favorite chocolate? You guys didn't buy me a chocolate?"
I noticed my big sister staring at me with an annoyed look. I shut myself up and behaved because of her. I just put an earphone in my ear and played some relaxing music while enjoying the scenery of the city outside the window car, as I slowly close my eyes and slept.
-•-
It was night, I was woken up by my mom in the middle of the night in a forest!
"Huh? Where are we? I demand dad to start this car right up!"
I complained while Asahi only laughed at me while he is eating his favorite candies.
"Honey, your dad went to the nearest gas station"
Mom answered as she pat my head.
"Hmmmp! I would like to go and find him because this is such nonsense! We should have arrived in our destination right now!"
I replied angrily and groaned. I saw my mom with a disappointed face as I quickly went outside the car and started to run away and find dad.
I can hear mom shouting for my name, telling me to come back as I cover my face with my hands from these leaves that are touching my skin.
I run and run to find my dad from all these trees, but it seems that it was a very bad idea to get out from the car.
I stopped from running as I easily ran out of energy. I'm lost and I hate it! I need to find the way out! I walked and walked and tried to find the path I was running in.
Then, I saw a cave and decided to go inside it. I checked the cave and as always, there were spiders and webs and bats, though I'm not afraid because I was trained to be an adventurer. There was nothing unusual until, I checked the caves. It was like a mirror with myself reflecting to it. My heart began to beat rapidly when I can't touch it. It's like the walls are made of water when I can just go through.
Then, with my curiosity, I decided to go through! As I slowly go through, my amazement went onto the highest level when I went back to my school.
I've been transported from this blackboard in this school?
Anna's Point of View
How did I get transported from this blackboard?
I stood up from the ground and tried to go back to the blackboard but it isn't letting me go through in it again. What am I going to do?! Why is it daytime here?! And why am I wearing a school uniform when I'm wearing a casual glittering dress?! I smashed and smashed the blackboard because of how irritated I am.
Then, I didn't notice there was an unfamiliar student sitting inside the classroom, staring at me being crazy.
"Hey, have you sit there for a long time?"
I asked him, even if I don't know this guy.
"Nope, I came here a few seconds ago, then I saw you doing weird things"
He answered back, while writing on his notebook.
"Oh my gosh, you know I was transported back to this unknown dimension with you through your blackboard"
I panicked as I continue to whip their blackboard.
"Huh? You're weird"
He replied.
What do you mean by weird?! I'm not weird! I was actually saying the truth.
"I'm weird? Hah! You don't know I'm a daughter of a CEO of the most famous business orga-"
"Sshhh! They're coming"
The guy shut myself up and pointed to the door. This guy is so full of pride! Where did he get the courage to shut me up?!
I looked at the door, and some students started to go inside the classroom as well, then followed by a female professor. There is nothing special to them. All of them are ugly, and I'm the only beautiful person around here.
"Sit down everyone!"
The professor confidently said as all of the students sit down to their perspective seats, while I only stare at them and keep thinking of how did this happen.
"Ms. Chieko Yun, please sit down, did you understand what I said?"
Suddenly, the professor stared at me and talked to me. Did she just say Chieko Yun? I'm not Chieko Yun!
"Umm, Ma'am, I'm afraid I'm no-"
"Ugh, just sit down! I don't want you to stress me out again!"
She shouted. I just followed her command even though I'm not that Chieko Yun. Now, I don't know where's the seat of this Chieko! I must find a vacant seat before anything else!
I sat near the corner of the classroom full of thoughts and wonders. What is happening? Am I in a different dimension with a different personality? And name? Who are these people?! I want to go home now!
"E-ehem"
I was disrupted by a forced cough from out of nowhere.
"What is it now?"
I looked up to see who was standing next to me. As I looked up, I noticed a tall man with a blonde hair, staring at me.
"Ms. Chieko, this is my seat, have you gone nuts?"
He said while he puts his bag at on my table.
"Oh, sorry"
I apologised, stood up and carried my bag that I didn't know I'm carrying. As soon as I stood up, he quickly sat down. I stared at him observing this guy.
"What are you looking at, weirdo?"
He looked at me while he put a lollipop in his mouth. This guy is such a mannerless person.
"Nothing. Though can I ask, where is my seat again?"
I asked him politely. He just stared at me for a few seconds as he sip from his lollipop.
"At the back from the second row over there"
He pointed at a chair at the back and stared at me again. What's with the stare? It gives me the creeps.
"Thank you!"
I thanked the guy with a forced smile at him. While I was about to walk, he suddenly stood up. He clenched my jaw and brought me closer to him.
"Don't act like we're not enemies, Chieko. I'm not done yet"
He then let go of me as my heart was beating fast. What did Chieko do to you? I went to my seat as quickly as possible, as the school bell rings. It's time for studying now, I guess.
The professor started to talk about the lesson, but I didn't seem to focus because of the thoughts filling up my mind. How can I get out from this situation? Maybe this is just a dream! Just a vivid dream! And so, I pinched myself multiple times as painful as possible, but it doesn't work at all.
"Psst, hey, Chieko"
A girl near me called the name, Chieko. Since that's my name, I've got to act like it's me.
"What is it?
I whispered back at the girl without the professor noticing.
"Meet me at the ground floor near the stairs later after class"
She said. I nodded as a response.
Is this suppose to be Chieko's friend? But then again, maybe she can help me to go back to my own world. I returned back from thinking of all these craziness happening to me.
-•-
"Okay, class dismissed"
Our professor said as all of us pack our things to get to home. Where is my home though?
"Chieko! Let's go home together!"
The girl that whispered to me earlier shouted at me.
"Sure!"
I answered with a forced smile, as usual, since I don't know any of these people here.
We walked down the hallway to the groundfloor together with an awkward atmosphere.
"Are you planning to go to the library tomorrow? We have a homework in Ms. Tina's class, right?"
She asked me. I don't even know what the professors discussed to us earlier.
"Yeah, sure, if you're also going"
I answered as I stare at the window, looking at the vintage-looking buildings outside. It's like I'm living in the past.
"Are you feeling okay? Is something bothering you?"
She worriedly asked me. She just asked me those questions! Should I say the crazy things that have happened in this day?
But before I get to say it, I tripped down on the floor from a leg that I didn't notice.
"Oh no, poor cry baby got tripped down"
I looked up and saw a group of students, including that guy with the blonde hair at my class, laughing at me.
The guy offered me his hand to stand up, which I ignored.
"Ooooh, it looks like Kaito is being rejected by cry baby!"
One of the guys said. So this guy's name is Kaito? I'll remember this name. He does have a good look but his attitude and personality stinks.
I stood up quickly and held my friend's hands and walked away as soon as possible.
"Kaito sure loves bullying you, huh?"
My friend said. I stayed quiet and didn't answer.
-•-
When we got outside the school, I finally got the urge to tell it. It has to be told because I can't solve it alone.
"I'm sorry but I'm not the real Chieko! I-I was transported in your world with her body a-and, I-I don't know any of you"
I spilled it. Then, I saw her smiling at me.
"I knew it. You were transported back to the 18th Century. Welcome!"
I was shocked that she knew about it, unless she is a time traveller as well.
"Wait, come, let's go to my house and you'll meet my father there"
She added and without hesitation, we both sprinted to her house.
-•-
Just like any other houses here, their house also looks vintage and old-style. We went inside and tried to find her father.
At the second floor of the house, in his bedroom, there was her father writing paperworks.
"Father! We've got another time traveller!"
She shouted cheerfully at her father. Her father put down the pencil and stared at us.
"I see, then I've got to build another hypnosis orb"
His father said and smiled at me.
"Wait, do you guys understand me?"
I asked them. It was confusing that someone knows and understand that I travelled back in time.
"Yes, because we are also time travellers"
The daughter answered and pat my shoulder.
"You see, I invented a time travelling orb that connects the energy of the present time to the past. With the right control, I adjusted it to the right time and era so we can travel back in our desired past"
The father explained. Although I can't fully understand what he is saying, but atleast I'm relieved that someone can help me.
"We are researchers and we decided to know more about the 19th Century with our own eyes"
The daughter added.
"That's nice but how can I go back to my present time?"
I panicked about the time. I should be enjoying the trip of my family!
"Well, I'm sorry but I need to find and build the right equipments in order to invent another time travelling orb"
The father frowned at me as he explained slowly to me.
"Yep, for now, you'll have to control the life of someone and be Ms. Chieko for a while"
The daughter added.
I'm going to act like Ms. Chieko even though I don't know her personality?!
"Be cautious in your actions and don't let anyone that you're a time traveller or else, it may affect your present time in many different way. You may not even be born in your present if you tell someone you're a time traveller"
The father warned, giving me a serious look.
"I promise I won't tell anyone that I'm a time traveller"
I said pridely.
"Alright, Ami, take Ms. Chieko to her home. She needs to rest from these things that have happened to her"
The father closed our conversation as my friend, which is named Ami, lead me outside their house.
Outside, we walked seriously in a quiet atmosphere. We are both probably filled with thousands of thoughts in our minds.
But I surely hope that Ami's father will build the orb fast.
But now, Anna, you're Chieko. Chieko Yun, living in the 19th Century.
Anna's Point of View
As the sun sets in our eyes, we walked down a quiet and empty street and of course, we are filled in an awkward atmosphere.
"We have arrived at your home. Look, the life of Chieko is very hard and you need to bare with it"
Ami started talking while she held my two shoulders in front of me.
"Do you mean that I'm poor in this world?! I can't bare that because I was born rich in my present!"
I shouted at Ami. I don't deserve living in a miserable life of Chieko! I was expecting that Chieko is living in a vintage-style mansion.
"Well, you've got to bear with it since time is ticking while my dad is building another time travelling orb"
Ami calmly explained to me. I gasped heavily and stared at this small and old house I'm going to live in for a while.
"Okay, I'll bear with this. I'll bear with this situation I'm stucked in"
I replied with an upset face. Ami just smiled at me and patted my head.
"Okay, be nice to your mom and dad, and note your name of your mom and dad are Mina and Haru so don't forget about it. You're the only child of Yun Family"
Ami shared and slightly pushed me to the door of our house.
"That's it. Now go see your mother and father, enjoy this 19th Century!"
Ami lastly spoke and waved goodbye to me as she ran away from me.
Okay, Anna, I mean Chieko, you're going to enter this house and bare this misery for a while.
I rotated the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
As I saw the heat and light coming from one candle in the house, I noticed the figure of a woman, probably my mom sleeping on a wood chair. As I walked near my mom, I noticed rough cemented floor.
"Why are you home late? I have 5 coins for you to spend for tomorrow"
Suddenly, an old man, probably my dad, scared the heck out of me.
Wait 5 coins? How is that going to help me survive a day?! Unless 5 coins is already a big amount in this century.
"Okay, sure dad. I need to go to sleep because I'm already tired"
I act tired while walking upstairs even I don't know where my bedroom is but I hope my bedroom is beautiful like me. As soon as I used the old stairs of the house, I noticed a small room with no doors. I looked upon it and thought this might be my bedroom.
But there's no bed! How is this called bedroom if there's no bed to sleep on?!
I sat down on the long wooden chair and think of how miserable I'm living in. I miss my luxury things in my room. I don't deserve living in this house!
Then, I didn't notice myself that I am slowly falling asleep from overthinking.
-•-
"Chieko! Chieko!"
I faced back to the reality when I was disrupted by Ami from overthinking. We're in the classroom now. I got here earlier than the rest.
"Are you okay? Did you sleep peacefully?"
Ami worriedly asked me. Isn't it obvious? I didn't sleep peacefully because of some ants crawling on to my skin.
"No. I didn't sleep well because I wasn't used to sleeping on the ground!"
I complained and smashed the desk hard.
"Calm down, just bear with it for a while. You'll be going back to your present in no time!"
Ami calmed me down. But I was burning so bad.
"How can I bear this if I can't survive a day without complaining?! There's no electricity in our house! I can't charge my phone!"
I shouted as some students stared at me from confusion, which made me calm down and sat back on my seat.
"Ms. Chieko, stop roaring so loud, it's very early!"
Our professor spoke. I didn't notice our teacher is sitting in front already, and of course I also notice the blackboard that made me felt in a bad mood.
"Okay, good morning class"
Our professor greeted with a boring voice.
"Good morning Ms. Chin"
I followed the other students in standing and greeting our professor. So this is Ms. Chin?
I sat down quickly and think of all the probable lessons that she is going to teach. It's probably an outdated and nonsense lessons since we're in an old century.
Right after Ms. Chin is going to speak, a group of 4 students came in, including that Kaito who bullied me.
"You're late, Mr. Kaito, Ms. Shina, Mr. Nobi and Mr. Savier"
Ms. Chin confidently spoke to them. The students just went up straight to their seats.
"Tsk. Alright, your results in your exams are here and I might say, Ms. Chieko is still doing the best job here"
As Ms. Chin said it, I was shocked because Chieko is doing a great job in this class. She's just like me, who is also doing great in academic performances.
"And Mr. Kaito, you're always doing the worst. You should focus more on your studies rather than with your friends"
Ms. Chin added as the whole class looked at Kaito, the bully of mine.
Then after that, Ms. Chin opened up another new topic to discuss for all of us.
-•-
It's class dismissed and we just learned about grammars and stuffs, ang good thing I already know those things. We packed our things up and got ready to go home.
"Umm, Ms. Chieko and Mr. Kaito, Can I have a word with you guys?"
But as soon as I'm supposed to go outside, Ms. Chin called my name, together with Kaito. I looked at Kaito who seems to be not in the mood.
I sat down on my seat and waited for Ms. Chin to speak up to us.
After a few minutes, Ms. Chin told us to go near her and we did what she told us to do.
"Ms. Chieko, can you tutor Mr. Kaito? He seems to be a slow-learner student and at the same time, he's not focusing with his studies"
Ms. Chin requested. Why do I need to tutor this guy? He legit bullied me yesterday, now I'm going to stress myself up just to teach this bully?
"How I wish Ms. Chin but I'm afraid I can't"
I denied while pouting my lips.
"I also observed you two not getting along with each other, maybe this is a great chance for you guys to develop friendship"
Ms. Chin explained further.
What's the role of this guy in the life of being Ms. Chieko Yun? Is this guy important to her life? I should think deeply because my decisions can affect my present.
"Just please accept it, Ms. Chieko. I'm also doing plenty of duties as a teacher"
Ms. Chin begged more. Should I accept this request?
"If you ask me, Ms. Chin, I agree in accepting this opportunity"
Kaito started speaking as he gives a smirk to us. He's so creepy it's making me feel scared of him.
"Ms. Chieko, if you tutor Mr. Kaito, I'll be able to increase your grades even higher"
Ms. Chin explained further. It might be a great opportunity as well even though I'm tutoring a bully of Chieko.
"Alright, Ma'am. I'll accept. When should we start?"
I happily answered our professor.
"Today"
Ms. Chin responded quickly. It made my heart beats faster than usual.
"Okay, both of you may now go so you guys can start early"
Ms. Chin waved goodbye to us and I waved back to her while giving her a forced smile. We both started to walk together by the hallway.
"Wait, I'm going to talk to my friends, first. You're willing wait, right?"
Kaito said and ran to his group of friends.
This is going to take some time.
