And so, her worst day is yet to come. She arrived at the school’s gate early in the morning. Ms Hidamori gave me a lift. And told that this will be the first and the last time she would do that. I had to take a public transportation from now on. I can't describe my ex-Nerv feelings.
I came out from the car and suddenly, a girl ambushes me from behind. I couldn't resist to falls. I kissed the floor just fine that it managed to hurt my chin. That girl who ambushes me just walked away.
She has got a blonde short hair with a ribbon slipped into her hair. I didn’t yell for help or anything but got up quickly to prevent myself been ashamed.
‘Can't things get any worse than this?’ Groaned Lisa. ‘It does really hurt. Luckily you got the stitches in your handbag . Or else I will end up having a tribute as ‘bruise-girl’ in this school.’ Mumble Lisa to her adoptive parents.
After they had finished registering Lisa, Ms Hidamori makes her leave. Lisa was so nervous that she could really need to call out for an emergency call (bathroom).
‘Look, who we got here,Miko! It's the new transfer kid you hate.’ Said one of the girls there, with a dark hair.
‘Well. I thought you would flee after got hit that bad. To be truthful I hate transfer student so much. They just annoyed me so much that I can't stand them.’ That girl stared Lisa in the eyes
‘You look like you don't care a thing. I don't have much time to mess you up now. But later... I will. Mind my words you, newbie.’ She makes her leave when the bell rang.
From outside, I could hear Ms Edagawa told the class to keep quiet in Japanese language. I understand them quite alright since I have learned to love japan since I was a kid. Ms Edagawa then called out for me.I did my introduction just like Ms Hidamori told me to do. It turns out to be just fine. I was impressed by myself too. Lisa got her seat near the window.
She just realized that there's a familiar face in front of her seat. She gasped when she remembers. That's the girl who knocked her down. That girl turn back and smiled.
‘Hello! My name is Megumi Hinada. I'm sorry for a previous event. I didn't realize I bump into you. I'm just too afraid because I'm late to school. And don't worry. If my friends who threaten you in the bathroom bothering you again just tell me okay. She winked her right eye. ’They just don't like new student because there’s some cases involving them and new students.‘
She makes an apologized sign. It's very a surprised because she talked Japanese to me too casually and I could understand them.
‘Ops! I'm sorry. You don't understand what I say right?’ Megumi then asked with English language. Although her English is slightly weird but I think it's fine because I could still understand her.
‘Don't worry. I had learned how to speak your language quite a bit. I could still understand you though.’ Reply Lisa with a smile. Megumi then makes her leave. She said she got club meeting. Megumi starts to fade away.
‘I don't care about you! But I’m giving you a warning about that girl. She does look cute and kind, but be careful.’ A voice came from the seat,next to her.
A black-haired girl with a hazel eyes advices. I don’t know whether she is angry or rather giving an advice. That girl has got a very weird aura,she got a black cat necklace. And that attracts Lisa to her.
‘Lisa!! The student council wants to see you immediately. I rushed to the council’s room. Worried if i did any mistakes that would angry the president.
Lisa went inside the council’s room. The president looked at her deeply. Usually, the president is a boy in my previous school. This one is a girl. But this one is a beautiful one. She steps into the room and smell the scent of a butterfly (I think) It took her heart away.
‘First of all, I would like to welcome you to this Michida High School.’
The president wanted to tell me about the rules there. Of course every school got almost the same rules right? Ummm. Maybe this one is different. I’d just have to listen to her talk.
After a few minutes she starts her talking. I can't help myself from sleeping zombie-ly.At last, the first day of school had ended.
She makes her way to the train station to go back home. Unexpectedly, she encounters one of her classmates, she doesn't know her name but she remembers her face. It's the black-Neko girl (Neko means cat in Japanese).
Her face was pale. She walks unsteadily. She suddenly collapsed not far from where Lisa is sitting. Lisa ran hurriedly to that girl and brought her to the nearest hospital. Luckily, there a hospital near to where she had collapsed. She has been admitted to the hospital.
The doctor seems to know her and called her parents after he had checked the girl’s condition. I could hear that the girl’s name is 'Hikari' ? I don't know. I just can't complete the puzzle that's been given. The nurses told me that all is going to be okay. But I can't just stop feeling so worried. She decided to wait for her to wake up from her sleep.
For half a hour Lisa waited there without sleeping. She just looked at Hikari’s face deeply.
‘It looks sad’ Thought Lisa.
They're almost a million wires around her friend’s body. She felt uneasy and decide to go and see the doctor herself.
‘Y-You! What are you doing here? It's already late now. You should go back home. Your parents might worry about you now. Don't worry about your friend,I had called out for her parents.’ Said the doctor.
‘Don't worry doctor. I had told my parents about this and it's okay for them. Im just curious sensei. (a word that Japanese people describe someone more knowledgeable) What is Hikari’s sick is all about.’ Asked Lisa with a confused voice.
Lisa could see the doctor changes of face personalities. ‘Please, tell me. I won't bite or anything. I want to know.’ Begged Lisa.
‘I'm not suppose to tell anyone about this but, I think it's better to have someone knowing her conditions.‘ Sensei's face looks dim.
‘But.. Promise not to say a word about this.’
Lisa just can't help thinking about what the doctor informed her last night. It's like people doing sick prank to her. She then went back to Hikari’s ward.
There, she could see Hikari trying to get loose of herself by taking out the wires. Lisa ran to stop her from hurting herself.
She tried her best to calm her friend. But things became worse when Hikari sees Lisa in the ward.
‘What are you doing here?You’re here to laugh at me? For seriously dude. Get out! I said GET OUT!! I don't want to see your face here anymore.’ Hikari shouts as loud as she could.
It's a coincidence that Hikari’s doctor was there. Some of the nurses help calm down Hikari . The doctor asked for my leave.
I waited outside refuses to go home. I could still hear Hikari’s screaming.
‘What's getting in you, Hikari. She is your friend.!!’ Mad the doctor.
‘She is not my friend! You! You let her in my room right.!! I dislike you. I’ll tell my mom about this.’ Hikari getting ready to get off the bed when the doctor got hold of her and said.
‘She’s the one who brings you here. You still dislike her!? She carried you alone from the station to here. She didn't sleep at night. She cares about you Hikari. She cares.!!’
Hikari then managed to settle down her mind. She asked the doctor to call out for Lisa.
The doctor came out of the room and sees Lisa’s still waiting anxiously.
‘So,how’s she?’ The doctor smile. Lisa then understands what that means.She felt relieved for that news.
‘Sensei, is she in a stable mode? Can i come in?’ the doctor smiled again and nodded. She went inside and she could see Hikari is staring out of the window.
‘Hello. Can I come in Hikari? I'm sorry because I came into your room without your permission and so. I didn't mean it seriously.’
Hikari turned to me and smiled sincerely to me and said
‘I know. But it doesn't mean I forgive and forget about it. I'm still angry at you though. I want you to get home. You don't have to stay here tonight.’ She make that serious face back.
‘But Lisa,come again tomorrow. I will wait for you.’
Lisa was relieved and just followed what Hikari told her to do. She just wants to make a good relationship with her.
The next morning, she woke up earlier than when the birds start chirping. Can you guess how early that is? Hehe.
Lisa helps her ‘parents’ to tidy the farm, garden and house. She hasn't even thought that the house is really big inside. ‘Phew! Man that was a very tiring activity. Hidamori-Kaa-San, are we done here? I want to go visit my friend at the hospital. Do you mind?’ asked Lisa while wipe her sweaty face.
‘I don't care. We’re cool here.Anything we will give you a call. Have fun.’
And so, Lisa went directly to the hospital. She doesn't forget to brought present for Hikari. She just knew that today is her birthday.
The moment I arrived at the train station. I could see many people outside the hospital. My heart pumping un-casually when i saw the police,fireman. I ran as fast i could holding tightly the present. Searching for Hikari shadow at the emergency ambulance. But there’s no sign of her.
My eye stings when knowing there’s still someone in the building. The police stopped me when i tried to go in.
I searched for another way to looked for her. I used the hole behind one of the police car. I enter the fire-ry hospital building, ignores all the people shouting for me to get out.
I need to find Hikari. I know she is still alive.

EloquentDragon pretty much covered much of what I wanted to say, so I'm not going to repeat any of the grammar mistakes.
If English is not your first language, then you have a good grasp of it, but your grammar does need work.
And you need to stop switching between points of view so much, so fast without even a page break. It gets a little confusing.
I don't really understand who Lisa is, since I thought that your Main Characters name was Melissa.
And I don't really understand who Hikari is or how Lisa knows her.
Other then that, I think that you are doing good so far.
Happy review day!
KT
Thank you for your reviews. Lisa is a short form of Mellissa. I'm sorry I didn't realized i didn't explained it.
Hello!
There are quite a few grammar mistakes, but it's pretty good, especially if English isn't your first language. EloquentDragon got to that, so I'll focus more on the bigger picture.
What is Hikari's problem? Your readers need to know, otherwise, it doesn't make sense...
The ending is so strong and full of emotion. You don't talk about their feelings, but you know that they are there in this statement:
Good Job!
Happy Review Day!

Yeah. This isn't my first language. But I am learning it. Thank you for your useful review. I appreciate it.
Help me always. *teehhee. 
So, just going to say that I don’t really like Nekos, and I don’t really like shojo or romance. But I do like Japan, so here goes.
hmm, if I’m not mistaken, English is not your first language. (Am I right?) In that case I am going to change my review style a bit. Things that I have highlighted in BOLD are things I’ve changed because they are incorrect. That’s mostly grammar stuff. Things in italics are what I would suggest you revise to, as they might sound better that way.
So it will look like this:
Spoiler
Quotes are always written with “”, not ‘’. Unless you have a quote inside a quote, which is what you use the single ‘ for.
Make sure you keep the voice consistent. Is this in first-person or in third? Nuetral narration or is Lisa narrating this herself?
This doesn’t make sense. Her adoptive parents have her band-aids? Why is she mumbling to her parents?
I edited this without bold or italic:
There we go.
I edited the following section without using bold or italics for you:
Be careful when you use idioms.
I found this funny.
This is funny too.
Edited next section:
Edited without bold or italic:
Make sure you don’t get the tenses confused. There is a big difference between past and present. When you started the story you were writing in present tense. I’ve tried to keep that the same for you.
(Continued)

Well, there’s that. I hope that helps.
The only thing I did not understand was why the doctor tells Lisa what Hikari’s problem is, but why we never find out. What is Hikari’s problem? Try not to hide important information like that from your readers.
This looks very interesting. You have a lot of ideas here.
Keep writing and good luck!

Hey!You really helped me so much. This is my first story I make. Didn't expect it to be good like any others. But I'm learning it. Help always!
