Summary:
A public school in Minnesota was where everyone, at least, respected one and another. Once she entered the grounds of her new high school in Colorado, every little thing was big and everyone talked about them. Anything bigger than that… well, let's just say, the main character had never been traumatized so much in her life. How can she start over with nothing to begin but a measly uniform for her private school?
How can she develop survival skills at her age? Well, if she wants to survive a school that always gets into everyone's business and the majority always gets their way… she'll have to basically rely on her natural skills in her bloodline in which her parents had almost lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Using these, yet to discover, abilities will she successfully get her diploma and her family to move back to Minnesota or will she drop out first, due to the pressure from each of the student gives on every student?

The First Obstacle: The Sky is Falling
'Here I am… at this private school… what was it called again? Right… Lawson River High… Really why, of all people, why did my father decides to move out of the blue, just like that! Fast and clean…' she thought to herself. She turned to her right, seeing a small pond and looked at herself in the reflection. Her hair was slightly brown but more to the black and had some lighter brown highlights on her. Her hair was down and reached to her lower back. She had a white blouse with a black vest on and black and white plaid pants on. White and black were the colors that showed that you're a sophomore. Baby blue and violet meant you were a freshman. Green and yellow meant you were a junior while the red and blue meant you were a senior. She sighed, going to her class would probably be a better choice than to stick around and be late on the first day of the school year.
"Move it!" a girl who had short blond hair and green eyes pushed her and fell to the ground while some more of her other friends was hurrying along with her. She caught a glimpse of their colors and knew that they were juniors.
"Where's the sorry part?" she said to herself and got up, "You damn women." She pouted and continued her journey to her first class of the day. "Man! I didn't do anything yet it's a bad day already! How much fun can this day get?" she asked herself sarcastically.
"Pardon me!" another girl was running from behind her. Luckily she dodged the charging girl who had black hair with two short pigtails that's been braided and blue eyes that made her look nothing like Asian and noticed she was a sophomore like her. She kind of smiled; maybe her day wasn't so bad after all. She got to her locker and put her lunch in it and left, locking her locker twice before leaving.
'Man… is it just me or am I missing something, this school… seems so empty…' she sighed but shook her head and walked. She had finally gotten to her first hour and opened the door, seeing that nobody was almost in there. She was a bit surprised but went up to the teacher, who was writing some things down on her desk. "Excuse me, do we have assign seats?"
"Oh no honey, take any seats you like." The old female teacher said, not looking up at her. She shrugged and looked around the room carefully. There were tables, no desks and five tables across. She didn't want to sit too far away from the door and didn't want to sit too close to the front. She looked at the back and smiled, 'Okay, I'll just sit at this last seat in the first row…'
Before she knew it, kids were coming in at the last minute of the bell. "I can't believe Kai accepted her proposal into going out with her!" Shouted one of the females that came in late with the others. She had short blond hair and was facing front of the board with another female next to her who had medium long red hair up to her shoulder blades, agreeing with the blonde.
"I know man! Like, what's the gist?!" said the red-haired female went. Everyone picked a seat and the room grew louder and louder. There were a mixture of males and females from all over the grades. She looked at her schedule and her first hour was, Communication Skills. She sighed deeply and slumped down to her desk as the teacher commanded for attention. Before the teacher could start, these two junior males came in with an angry look and went to the back.
"Always late aren't you two huh Mr. Valkov and Mr. Kuznetsov?" they both waved their hands at the teacher and came up to the two male freshmen who looked up to them strangely. The two male freshmen were in her table and one more freshmen female all looked at them.
"Move, or do you want us to move all of you?" said the lavender-haired junior.
Everyone at the table looked at each other and back to them. The two males decided to move since they didn't want to bring trouble to the two females.
"Anyways, as I was speaking…" the old female teacher said, "Welcome to my class, Communication Skills. Unlike last year, you were able to pick your groups." Everyone smiled, "this year, I'm going to change that. Whatever table you're sitting at will be your new group!" Everyone complained at her.
'Thanks goodness! I wouldn't know how to approach these people on the first day of school!' she thought.
"You're first assignment is getting to know your group mates because they will be your group for the rest of the class. You have the whole hour to do so. Any questions?"
"I do! Can I change tables now?" the same complaining blond girl asked.
"No. Anymore? Good, now get started. I'm expecting written reports on your group. That's also how I check to see if you're here or not." She left the class to themselves and soon everyone was talking among themselves at their own tables.
"So, what's all of your names?" the freshman girl asked. Her hair was somewhat dull blond that is tied up into a high ponytail and had a nice shade of blue eyes. "I'm Ashley Whitener." She said, writing down what she said on a piece of paper.
"Chia Yang." The Asian said. "C-H-I-A. Y-A-N-G."
"Got it, thank you." She smiled and nodded at her, now looking at the two juniors.
"Urg… Tala Valkov. My friend here is Bryan Kuznetsov. Never mind, gimme that paper." He wrote down the names and flipped the paper back to her.
'Jerks aren't they?' Chia thought to herself and sighed.
"Anyways…" Ashley continued, "Favorite color? Blue. You guys?"
"Same here." Tala said, rolling his eyes.
"Grey." Bryan quickly stated.
"Violet." Chia went after Bryan had finished his.
"Favorite animal?" she thought. "I'll have to say cats."
"Why are we doing this anyways?" Bryan asked, rather snappishly.
"Because the teacher said so…?" she said, "What about you, Chinese girl?"
'I ain't no Chinese to begin with, bitch.' She rolled her eyes, "Get my name right." She glared, "and I prefer foxes."
"Will do." She nodded, "Sorry. I forget easily…" she laughed nervously. "What about you boys?"
"Foxes eh?" Tala looked at her rather seductively, "Didn't know Chinese people like them. I thought they prefer horses or bunnies…"
'Does it look like I'm Chinese, asshole?' she thought to herself angrily. "I'm sorry to burst your bubble." Chia said, rather calmly.
"Yeah, I know huh?" Ashley said.
" Well, I guess wolves for me." Tala leaned the back of his chair hard.
"Falcons." Bryan leaned on his left hand and looked away, sighing hard.
"Okay… what else…?" she thought. "Least favorite animals?"
"Spiders." Chia quickly went, trying to avoid getting call 'Chinese' when really she's not. Even if she tells what ethnicity she really is, no one knows about it over here anyways.
"Mouse for me…" the white girl said, writing both answers down.
"What? Really?" Chia was astounded.
"Yeah! They're just so…. Eww!" she shivered at the thought of them.
"Hah… none." Tala said, "Same goes for Bryan."
"Got it." Ashley said, "Crush?" She looked at everyone. "I guess I'll say… Kai."
"No one." The rest of the group said. Ashley looked at them all disbelievingly.
"What? Really? How sad." She said, writing down their answers. "Even you? C-Chia…?" she asked.
"Yeah."
"Not even the hottest guys at this school?"
"Nope." She said flatly.
"Kai's the hottest, you know that right?"
"Yeah." She then thought, 'I don't even know who's considered hot at this school, even though it's a new year for me and her too… who's Kai anyways? Man, am I slow or what? I'll just have to play along…' she smirked at herself mentally.
"But you don't even have the slightest crush on him, do you?" she asked her carefully.
"Less competition for you. That way you can get his heart faster." Chia said, nodding at her direction.
"Oh, thank you for the thought." She smiled brightly. "And you two don't even have the slightest crush on the hottest girls at our school too?"
"Not even a bit." Both of them said, keeping on a straight face.
"Hm," Ashley went nervously, "Okay… favorite food?"
"Pizza." Tala went ahead of Bryan who only gave him a flat look.
"Hot Seafood Curry." Bryan said.
"Water." Chia stated it if was as though obvious.
"Water isn't a food." Tala said.
"It goes through your stomach. Unless give me the definition for food."
"Point taken." Tala said awkwardly.
"Interesting…" Ashley said, "I guess ice cream it is for me."
"Are we done yet?" Bryan asked rather angrily.
"I guess… since we're like the only group who's taking this seriously." Ashley admitted and stood up to give the paper to the old woman.
'Arg… my group is so stupid. One member is delusional, anger freak… guess Tala's okay… somewhat.' Chia leaned against her right hand and saw that Tala was looking at her direction. Curious she turned behind her to look at what he was looking at. But nothing was there and she actually had the courage to ask him. "Got a problem to dicuss about? I could help." she glared at him. Tala chuckled, looking at her hard.
"You wish that I have a problem with you." He said almost too sexy for her. Which Chia totally didn't get what he was trying to say at all; she was always slow to being with.
"So you do have a problem. It's even with me too." She nodded at him, "Too bad. I don't wish." She sneered at him. "I know. Sad really, I don't even want to know." She looked away, pouting.
"You are Chinese right?" Tala asked her. Chia's eyes snapped at him, making him smirk. "Know a Chinese guy name Ray?"
"As if." She rolled her eyes, getting real tired with the whole Chinese thing.
"I'm back!" Ashley said, breaking the mood. "So what were you guys talking about?" she sat down and looked at the trio. "Something good right?" her eyes were full of excitement.
"Boring as daytime." Chia scoffed. Tala chuckled at her comment while Bryan couldn't help but leave a smirk on his face.
"Wow, how boring." She said rather sadly. "Oh! Guess what I heard!" Ashley shouted rather excited to her group. "I heard that the principle will actually let everyone make their own clubs and submit it to him so that he knows it wasn't just created out of thin air!"
"Huh…" the three went.
"I've always wanted to make a club but I don't know what to base it on… help me, will you guys?"
"I guess…" Chia uncertainly went, looking at the boys.
"Oh! Then us four can be in this club! It'll be fun!" she clapped her hands rather happily.
"God, no way." Bryan looked at her doubtfully.
"Rules said everyone have to join at least one club." Ashley said. "Unless you're going to join the football team or something…"
"Kai and us won't be in any sports this year." Tala said, "We figured we should join something relaxing."
"Something relaxing huh?" Ashley rubbed her chin with her index finger.
"Stupid rules…" both Bryan and Chia mumbled to themselves but heard each other's comments. They looked at each other and looked away.
"How about a club that adores sceneries?" Ashley wondered.
"Delusional." Chia quickly said, "Would people actually want to do that hours long, 24/7?"
"Good point." She went, now thinking harder for her new club.
"Like your reasoning." Tala told Chia.
"Thank you." She said, almost frustrated happily.
"Hey Tala," the same blond woman came over with her red-haired friend and tried sitting on him. The red-haired would do the same thing to Bryan too but she didn't want to be thrown out by him even though he was hot too. "I really want to be in your group. Kick these girls out for us, will you?" she cooed at him.
"Too bad, we already turned in our paper." He said, taking her arms that was around him off. "And you should get back to your group too, Christina."
"Aw, but Lily and I came all the way over here just to be in your group. Can't you do anything and talk Ms. Keller out of this mess?" she tried to wrap her arms around him again and Tala keeps unwrapping it.
"Deal's a deal." Bryan said to her meanly, "Who told you to be in this class this year anyways?"
"It's not like we could've done it in freshmen or sophomore years anyway. Stupid counselors…" Lily mumbled.
"Ms. Candles, Ms. Rambow! Back to your group!"
"Damn!" Christina swore and both she and Lily went back to their original table.
"I wonder if Kai likes women like that too…" Ashley thought out loud.
"Absolutely not." Chia said, dismissing her at that thought. Actually, she just can't stand women like them.
"Why not?" she wondered, offended. Tala and Bryan looked at her with wide eyes.
"Do you really think you'll survive what that kind of tactic? Besides, Kai seems more of a gentlemen who would actually date a girl who knows self-respect." Chia said. 'As if I know him anyways.' She laughed to herself amusingly silently.
"You really think so?" she looked at Chia and back to the two boys who looked away. "Alright then, it's final. I'll confess to him my love when he ends the relationship with Yolanda." She smiled happily.
'Must be the girl who confessed to him her love this morning… oh wait, was that why I was pushed to the ground? Damn-asses…' she cursed the two women. 'Oh wait, that Christina and Lily were those girls who pushed me. Damn bitches…' she glared into think air and sighed rather harshly.
"How do you know Kai is like that anyways?" Bryan asked her, curiously.
"Why do you want to know? You're his friend." Chia said, giving him a weird look, "Unless…"
"Very funny." He said rather dryly. "I mean it, really."
"I guess it's just how I feel. Wouldn't you get bored with people doing the same things over and over and over again?"
"Yep." Tala smirked at her, "Sad really. If only people were more like you, the world would keep spinning faster and make my day happier."
"Uh… thank you…?" she said, not sure what else to say.
"Anyways, back to my club!" Ashley said. "What's relaxing enough anyways?"
"Chess club…?" Chia went, after seeing the three shaking their heads she sighed. "Bryan's next." He was actually surprised to hear the Asian girl call him like that. No one really said his name in that kind of language except for his friends. Other people would always try to please him and not make him mad. But he's starting to think this Asian girl isn't so bad after all. Tala looked at them both and smirked, chuckling at Bryan because he knew that Bryan's starting to like her. It's a guy's feeling. He likes the new Asian girl also.
"No idea here, you Tala?" he went.
"Nope. Nothing here also. You?" he looked at Ashley.
"Uh… Chia?" she quickly said.
"If we're just going around in circles, why not just make a club that listens to people's problems instead? We all like sitting and listening right?" Chia sarcastically went.
"Ooh! I like that idea!" Ashley said happily, "You're going to be the vice president of this group!" she smiled happily at her. Chia looked at her, almost too disbelievingly.
"You're kidding right…? Please say that you are." She said to her.
"No, I'm dead serious. I'm so happy to have you're one of my members! You boys like the idea too?" they looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"Why not? I'll get the other guys to join too." Tala said, nodding.
"Yay! I should tell to my other friends to join also!" she thought happily at the thought.
'What did I get myself into…? If I knew this was going to happen… arg, someone just kill me now…' she thought frustrated and slumped to the table.
"It can't be that bad, can it?" Ashley asked Chia.
"Girl," Chia started, looking at her, "You just don't know it yet."
"I-is that so?" she thought nervously. Chia just shook her head to herself as the bell finally rung she left without a word.
"I wonder if she's mad…?" Ashley thought to herself and left also with Tala and Bryan were behind her.
'Who knows…' both Tala and Bryan thought, looking at the Asian girl's way and followed the same path as her.
