The Geek of Harrison High

He walked down the hallway books closed at his chest. Kenshin was trying to be quick so he didn't have to worry. Bouncing off his thigh was a laptop in a bag. Leave it to him to bring a computer to school.

Again he peered around, people looking at him like always. Now he just had one more thing to make him the geek of Harrison High School. He tried to hide it by keeping his mouth closed or books hiked up. This would be a most difficult task.

"Orthidonture," he huffed beneath his breath, "thank you genes."

He turned into the science lab looked at the board noticing the reminder of the quiz that morning. His teeth ached.

Upon sitting down he realized that he was one of the first in the classroom again. Crossing his legs as best he could under the small space given, and proceeded to pull out the readied items.

First period would drag on. He was sitting next to the bully who didn't like him: Aoshi Shinomori. A quiet yet malice-filled person. Especially toward Kenshin. Hopefully he wouldn't come today; he was only there half the time.

The bell gave a shrill howl and Kenshin looked forward. One or two stray students ran in and took a seat as the teacher, Hajime Saito, stood to take attendance. He looked directly to Kenshin's way.

"Himura," he said, "to my desk," he said not even blinking an eye. Kenshin stood and walked over to the teacher. Saito wouldn't address anyone until he was addressed first

"Yes sir?" he asked quietly. His braces showed and Saito gave a half cringe.

"A letter was sent to the school for you from your parents," Kenshin gazed at the letter Saito held in his hand. Taking it away easily, Kenshin looked at Saito and squeaked out a thank you. He walked back to his seat staring at the letter that had a golden sticker holding down the flap.

The moment he laid eyes on it, he knew he didn't want to read it. That and he didn't care. Whatever his parents wanted to tell him could wait.

When Saito passed out the test, Kenshin got to word immediately. Leave it to Saito to be the only person to give a test on Mondays, he thought. The other thought that swam through his head, just by looking at the test, was that Saito had supposed they knew what they were studying…at the least Kenshin did.

Most of the time though, Kenshin was the one of the few that actually knew most of the things. And as much as he didn't want to show off his brain, it was rather impossible. The test was all period as was most of Saito's test's and quizzes. He however, was finished after only twenty minutes and turned it in. When he got back to his seat, Kenshin looked at Aoshi only for a moment to see that he was writing proverbs in between answering questions. That was what made Kenshin wonder about Aoshi; at one moment he was a hard ass and the next he was a philosopher.

Going back to his business, Kenshin pulled out a book and began to read form the mark he had left. Aoshi turned his head slightly and mused an evil deed. He shoved Kenshin's books off his desk and made a rather disturbing clatter.

"What is with the noise?" Saito bellowed out. It made Kenshin twinge for a second and then answer.

"I'm sorry, my elbow hit them," he fibbed. But the last thing he wanted was to get Aoshi in trouble. Saito gave a sour face and said.

"Pick it up and don't let it happen again," he said in a snarl. Kenshin gave an obedient nod, and placed the books under his desk so nothing else happened. He heard a light snicker coming from Aoshi. Kenshin didn't want any trouble on a Monday, but the Gods were not on his side.

"Himura to my desk," Saito said. First he was lenient, now cruel. Mood swings much? Stepping up from his seat once again he walked over to Saito's desk with a scared face.

"Sir?"

"Where did you get these answers?"

"Memory sir," he answered. He could fell stares on his back. Saito summoned him to come behind the desk which was never a good sign. He went carefully and looked into the teacher's wolf-like eyes.

"Himura you use the things in your book, not off of a cartoon," Saito said looking into Kenshin's eyes.

"Not cartoon sir. Every bit of logic. I'm sure if you check it you'll see," Kenshin retorted. Saito gave a severe look of disgust and then held up the paper.

"I will not scrimmage for excess garbage to prove you right or wrong Himura," he said and ripped the paper clear in half. "Zero, no exceptions," he said. Kenshin's bangs covered his violet pools and he turned on his heel to go back to his seat.

'What you get for smarting'

'Use what's in your book loser', Kenshin could hear them all the same. Snide comments that really he heard on a daily basis.

Putting his head on his arms Kenshin's hand went over his cheek where a scar was embedded. He could always smell fresh blood from the memories. Then he was thinking. Why do people always judge you on the way you look anymore? He was a very kind and polite person, but no-one gave him a chance. No-one really had, no-one ever would.

His glasses slid down his nose and easily he pushed them back up. Little did he know he was actually crying, even though it was fogging his glasses. At the moment he didn't feel anything at all, let alone tears. Maybe hate but not much more. He soon nuzzled his nose in his sleeves. Surely things couldn't get worse at this point. Of course when it wasn't impossible, then things could. Low and behold, his new braces were on his sleeve. Of course. He was struggling for a long moment until his feet were folded under him. Eyes were on him like he was crazy. Never had he had this happen and he had no idea what he was to do. Aoshi watched the struggle and then decided to make it more fun. He shoved Kenshin from his seat who caught himself with an open hand on the floor.

Saito stood to see the spectacle. Much against Saito's personality, it put a smile on his face. Kenshin held up by one hand and his legs wrapped about the table leg. Finally laughter caught the room as he fell to the ground. Saito came over and shoved Kenshin's arm closer to his face to free his sleeve from his braces. He leaned on the table leg and as everyone laughed they wondered if he was alright. Kenshin was breathing rather heavily as his shirt had almost smothered him.

When he lifted his head up, molten orbs were able to be seen. His glasses had settled at the tip of his nose. The laughing ceased as Kenshin used a table to pull himself up and look at Saito. His body was aching from the strange position and he regained footing as Saito spoke.

"Mind your disturbance. It was a side show," Kenshin was only trying first to stop panting then looked at the teacher and spoke with an annoyed tone.

"Sir, I really don't care," he aid looking straight into Saito's eyes.

"Care or not apologize to your classmates," he said. Kenshin looked with wide eyes and shook his head.

"I should not. None of this would have occurred if Aoshi hadn't pushed me from my seat," he said. Saito looked and they sneered.

"Unlike you anymore, he would be the perfect example of a good student," that was the last thing Aoshi was and Kenshin knew that for a fact. Looking toward Aoshi then turning to Saito he said:

"Then you can not judge well." Saito had finally had enough of Kenshin.

"Trouble, trouble, trouble, that is all you have been. Collect your things and follow me," If Kenshin wasn't scared then, than maybe now he was. He didn't know where he was going as he picked up his things as ordered by Saito. The science teacher warned the class to be seated until he returned. Never would they disobey him. He was always truly serious.

Gesturing Kenshin to follow they walked down the hallway in silence and Kenshin wondered where he was going after they rounded the corner. But his wonderment was ceased when they stopped at the principal's office. Kenshin took the gulp he could before his mouth actually went dry. This was the worst place humanly possible at this time. The only time he had been here was when he was bringing the secretary something. It was going to be a sad experience.

Saito pushed him into a seat and ordered: "Stay here until I call for you." Kenshin had no intention of getting up as Saito disappeared into the back. After Saito left he heard the door open and looked over. A young girl walked in handing the secretary a note and sitting next to Kenshin. He turned his head away as she put her foot up. And catching a glance he saw her beautiful azure eyes.
