Highschool Chapter One: The New Student

Kai hated going to school, no that's not right, Kai hated all the girls that were always trying to get into his pants (which was all the girls in 9th - 12th grade). He just didn't lean that way. He liked girls, he just didn't like girls.

Kai was glaring at the teacher, like always, and trying not to listen to the girl next to him, who was currently asking him what his favourite colour was, when the classroom door was opened and their teacher was called out by the dean of the school. 'I wonder what that's about,' Kai thought dully.

About ten minutes later the teacher came back in with a new student. They had long black hair that was bound in a white wrap, golden eyes and they were wearing Hong Kong-style clothing. 'Great, just what I need, a new girl,' Kai thought dryly

Then the teacher spoke, "Class, this is Rei Kon. He's a new student so I'm going to need one of you help him with whatever he needs." Turning back to Rei he added, "Rei why don't you go sit in the empty seat next to Kai, oh and welcome to the school."

"Hi, I'm Rei," the raven haired teen said with a shy smile after he sat down.

"Really? I never would have guessed; even though the teacher just said your name. Whatever, I'm Kai," Kai said while thinking, 'What the hell's wrong with me, why am I being such an ass?'

"Well, hi Kai. You're not from Japan are you?"

"What?"

"Your accent, it doesn't sound Japanese. So where are you from? I'm from a small village in China," Rei said in a voice that couldn't go unacknowledged.

"I'm from Russia. Why do you care?" Kai asked, suspicious of why someone he'd never met before would just start up a conversation with him.

After looking over Kai's shoulder first Rei answered, "Because I can't stand to see anyone, even someone I don't know, being bugged by someone too stupid to realize that the person they're talking to doesn't want to talk to them."

As Rei paused for a breath Kai looked over his shoulder and saw, to his great amazement, that the girl who had been bothering him was gone before looking at Rei and saying, "Thanks, but how did you-"

Rei cut him off mid question by saying, "I've been in your position before; only no one came to my rescue."

"Oh, well thanks. And I really mean it; I haven't been left alone all year. If it's not her it's one of the others. So you're from China, what's it like there?" Kai asked trying to make up for being an ass earlier.

"Well, China has a wide range of climates," Rei began. "Where I'm from, in western China, we have long bitterly cold winters and the summers are hot and humid. Our education is very different from yours is. For example; moral education is very important. We enter elementary school at the age of six or seven and must attend school for at least nine years. Elementary school courses include the Chinese language, geography, history, mathematics, music, science, painting, physical education and political education.

"After completing elementary school, we may enter secondary schools called middle schools. Junior middle school lasts three years and senior middle school continues for another two or three years. Middle school courses include many subjects studied in elementary school plus biology, chemistry, physics, law, English and other foreign languages. Vocational and technical middle schools offer training in agriculture, industrial technology and other work-related subjects.

"A nationwide examination determines who may advance to higher education and at what kind of school. High school students study intensely for the tests, which are held each July. Those who do best on the tests may enter a public university. Some wealthier students who do not qualify to attend a public university may pay to attend a private university. The chief university subjects include economics, languages, mathematics and natural and social sciences.

"Some students who pass the examination with lower scores enter a technical college. Each technical college specializes in one particular field, such as agriculture, forestry, medicine, mining, or teacher training. Many technical schools are administered by the government ministry specifically concerned with the subject that is taught," Rei explained, repeatedly stopping for breath as he gave this spur of the moment speech.

Kai's eyes had been threatening to pop out of his head ever since Rei had gotten to the halfway point.

Then Rei asked, "So what's Russia like?"

"Well, most of Russia has long, bitterly cold winters and mild to warm but short summers. All children attend school for eleven years, from age six to seventeen. Elementary education includes nine primary and intermediate grades. When we finish ninth grade, they may choose to complete their schooling by enrolling in a secondary school or vocational school.

"The secondary schools emphasize science and mathematics. They also teach language, literature, history, social sciences and physical education. English is the most widely taught foreign language. The vocational schools prepare young people for careers as technicians or in various branches of industry and agriculture.

"Starting with the intermediate grades, we must pass annual exams to advance to the next grade. If we pass a national examination upon the completion of secondary school we receive a certificate and those who score well also get a gold or silver medal," Kai said, also having to stop for breath a few times, all the while thinking, 'I only know about half as much about Russia as Rei does China.'

"So, what time do we get out of this class?" Rei asked all shyness returning.

Looking at the clock Kai answered, "In about a minute and I've got to say this has been the fastest this class has ever gone."

"Well that can happen when you have someone you don't hate to talk to," Rei said just as the bell rang.

"Let me see your class list," Kai said taking out his own.

"Um, okay," Rei said as he handed Kai his class list.

Kai looked down both lists then, as he gave Rei his back, said, "We have all the same classes. You can sit next to me in all of them if you want to, I'm sure the girls that sit next to me wouldn't mind. I know that I wouldn't."

"I think I'd like that. Now what class do we have next?" Rei asked, smiling as he followed Kai out of the classroom.

"Science and don't worry it's not hard, just boring," Kai said and for some reason he couldn't take his eyes off of Rei.

Why is he staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face, or in my teeth?' Rei thought then said, "I never really liked science."

By the end of the day all the teachers had assigned Rei the seat next to Kai; then again Kai had told them that their first teacher had told Kai to help Rei.

On their way out of the building Kai handed Rei a slip of paper and told him, "If you need help with anything just call me."

As they went their own way Rei called out, "I will and thanks Kai."
