A ride to Hell

"Kory, Katie… I looked at your schedule earlier and it said that you would be off by 3. Now, I want the two of you to be home before three forty five," a middle-aged woman in khaki pants and a white blouse told her daughters who were nervous about their first day of school.

"Mom, don't you think I should have a better curfew than that? Besides, I am the eldest. Kory, on the

other hand, should be here earlier since she can't even open a coca-cola can by herself," said one of the

daughters whose name was Katie as smiled evilly at her younger sister.

"That is unfair, Katie. You know that I was never allowed to drink Soft Drinks. And since we are only one

year apart, I think that our rules should be the same," Said the other daughter, Kory. Then she started to

shout at her sister as if Katie pulled her long hair.

"Girls! Stop! Now here is your money, and here comes your ride," their father said coming out of the

garage, handing each of them ten dollars then pointed at the yellow bus that stopped nearby. The two

girls ran off to their bus after kissing their mom and dad on the cheek. Kory, however, looked back at her

new house. They have been there for 3 days and it already felt like home. Although, she preferred her old

home in New Zealand to this big "Glass House" (as she would call it). It was huge, white and mostly glass.

They had a big pool and a large patio where they could hold parties. Even though she was new to this

environment, she felt so scared to leave this new house and go to a place she never been to, school. Over

the past 12 years, Kory had been home-schooled and was taught by her mother. Her father was an

ambassador and earned a lot of money but he was barely around for his family. Katie never liked the idea

of home-school. She was very sociable and was a little on the wild side which made her end up in a small

private school. Kory grew up to be refined, well-mannered and a 16-yr-old who spoke so properly since she never got the slang terms her older sister would use. Katie, growing up with other kids, became street-smart and picked up slang words from her Maori friends. Kory missed her old home; she also knew that she would miss her new home when she would step into her new high-school.

BEEP BEEP

"Come on!" the bus driver yelled to Kory. Kory ran into her bus. As soon as she was inside, all heads

turned toward her. Most of the guys were gawking. The girls were talking about how silky her auburn hair was and how bright her emerald green eyes were. Others were talking about Katie who looked just like Kory but was slightly taller and had dark brown hair. Her sister sat with a girl sporting dark clothes and blonde hair with a lot of pink streaks.

"Sorry sis… Looks like you're on your own," Katie said with a grin. She turned to her blonde friend and

started talking about "The Used" (an emo Rock band) Kory scanned the bus for seats. The leftover

seats were filthy and the last clean seat was occupied by some girl's bag. Kory looked at her. This girl

looked intimidating. She was pale, dressed up in dark clothes and had some lavender streaks on her black

hair. She was a Goth. She looked up to Kory and asked in a monotone voice,

"Want this seat?"

"Yes, please. I thank you very–"Kory replied happily and rather loudly until she was silenced by the girl's

cold glare.

"I apologize. Mother said it isn't good manners to talk so loudly or shout in public unless you are watching

a sport or a 'Rock' concert." She said uncomfortably.

"Sure…" the girl replied with an irritated tone.

"My name is Kory Anders," Kory said with smile, while extending a hand to the girl. The girl, however did

not shake it. Instead, she looked at it then looked up to Kory who was still smiling and said,

"Raven. I don't shake hands." Kory put her hand down as the bus stopped in front of a bus stop full of

kids. The door opened and a line of kids slithered into the bus. Five kids sat in the very back of the bus,

behind Kory and Raven. Then a tall, lanky boy, who was commonly known as Garfield Logan, came in and

caused every body in the bus to laugh. They weren't laughing at his chipped tooth on the left side of his

mouth; and neither were they laughing at the heap of Algebra books that he was struggling to hold. But

they were laughing at his color. No, he wasn't black… Try green. Unfortunately, this boy, an excellent

swimmer, held a grudge against a teammate of his. After their usual stretching and 30-lap session, the

teammate grabbed bottles of green dye before Garfield got out. Knowing that Garfield was a slob and

never closed his locker during practices, the teammate poured the green dye into his Shampoo bottle and

liquid soap bottle. As Garfield headed for the shower, he saw that the sneaky teammate came out with a

sly smile on his face.

"He's probably up to something," he told himself. Although, he didn't notice that he turned green right

after his shower until the teammate brought it up. Garfield ended up crying in his room. He didn't know

whether he should go to school the next day or not.

Back in the school bus…

"What is the matter with him? Is he green because he is feeling ill?" Kory asked innocently. She was never

exposed to anything this weird. Garfield, on the other hand, did not know where to go. His pals didn't want to sit with him

since he became the laughing-stock for the day. Garfield maneuvered to the back of the bus and sat on the same row as Kory and Raven.

"Hello! My name is Kory Anders. Are you feeling ill today?" Kory asked him.

"Um… no. You must be new…" Garfield replied looking at her weirdly.

"Yes, I am. I have transferred from New Zealand. And this is my new friend, Raven." She said cheerfully.

Raven looked at Kory then to Garfield, then said with her usual bored tone,

"Hi. My name is Raven. We are not friends so please leave me alone." She said coldly. Kory looked down and started to frown as she thought about what Raven said. She was really sensitive. Before she apologized to Raven, Garfield started talking again.

"Don't mind her," he said. "She's in my literature class and I noticed that she's always crabby!"

"Crabby?" Star asked. "Do you mean that she has the same characteristics as the animals in Class Crustacea? B-but, that's impossible!" (Biology stuff) she said with a shocked expression.

Suddenly, Garfield laughed.

"That's a good one! Ha-ha…" he said then continued chuckling.

He had thought it was a joke but he did not know that Kory, a naïve girl, seldom joked about things. Kory, who confused about why he laughed, just smiled at him. Even though Kory didn't get why he was laughing, Raven was there and witnessed everything.

"What a loser," she muttered to herself.

In a few minutes, they reached school. Kory stood in front of the building. It was big, full of panicky teenagers and was the last place she wanted to be in.

"Hey, newbie!" Garfield shouted then ran to her. "What's your first class?" he asked.

Kory looked at her schedule. Literature was first. Her favorite!

"Literature is first. May I know what your first subject is?" she said.

"Same. This is just great… I have a meeting at lunch!" he said disappointedly. "Come on, lets go to Literature… You'll hate Mr. Mod!"
