It was just a normal day for us. Who's us? The protagonists, of course. My name is Jeremiah. I can't remember my last name, so I borrowed the last name of my "cousin". Her name is Melody Rommannof, she is 17 years old and I am 16. She has long, ebony hair and I wore a hood over my head. I bet you're wondering why I surrounded the word cousin with quotation marks. Well, I'm afraid the answer will have to wait. Anyway, Melody and I were cleaning our house in Paris. It was that time of the year, spring cleaning, so it had to be done. I walked outside into the gentle breeze and the warm weather, and strolled to the mailbox in front of our home. I opened the metal container and pulled out a handful of letters and mail. I walked back inside and sat in the living room couch.
"Did we get mail?" Melody asked. I nodded and began to sort the mail.
"Bill. Bill. Love letter. Love letter. Love letter." One thing about Melody: Her sweet nature and never-ending beauty can captivate any guy, just by a single glance. She's also too kind for her own good. Therefore, I always step in to make sure she doesn't get hurt. This went on for about three minutes until I stopped at a formal envelope. It was sealed and it was addressed to both Melody and I. I opened it and began to read its contents.
Dear Jeremiah and Melody Rommannof,
Congratulations! You both have been accepted into Hope's Peak High School as the Super High School Level Butler and the Super High School Level Lovely Soul! We look forward to meeting you both very soon!
I couldn't believe it! We were accepted into the most prestigious school in the entire world! We have been trying to get into that school for months, and now they were finally acknowledging our talents! However, the titles were odd. I'm a butler? Well, I have always placed other people's needs before my own, so why not? I shrugged and turned to Melody, who probably read the letter over my shoulder because she was celebrating in the kitchen. I wrapped her in a hug and we spun around the room, laughing.
"Oh, this is wonderful! We need to go pack!!" She exclaimed. We ran to our rooms and packed our stuff for the long journey. We then planned to leave for Hope's Peak in a week, since it was all the way in Japan. I could barely contain my excitement!
After many hours of flying, we finally arrived at Hope's Peak! I was wearing my black tuxedo with matching slacks and shoes. I also had a hood sewn into the tux, because I liked wearing hoods. The hood covered the upper portion of my face, concealing my eyes with its shade. Melody was wearing her special red ball gown that I had hand-tailored. The dress had faux roses on the bodice and the skirt reached to her ankles.
"Are you ready, Melody?" I asked her. She gave me a closed-eyes smile and nodded. Hand-in-hand, we took our first step onto the school grounds. Suddenly, I felt so nauseous and dizzy. I also heard Melody collapse and I soon followed after. What's going on?!
