Hey everyone, I finally got the spin off up and running!
3Xtrouble will also be updated regularly. Sorry for the wait :) anyways, enjoy "What I Did Last Fall"!
Sonia lays in a pile of clothes and suitcases on the floor. She has 30 minutes before she has to leave for Coates Academy. Her reason for going? Her parents thought she had "anti-social tendencies" and was a "bad girl". All she did was steal a CD as a present for Krissy. But then, she kicked this boys ass and his girlfriend stuck alchohal in Sonia's backpack. No one believed it wasn't hers.
Not to mention she changed her entire wardrobe. She went from dresses to jeans and tight shirts. She did note she might've went a little overboard when she burned the dresses and danced on the ashes. But hey, at least nothing else caught on fire.
"Sonia, are you ready?" Her mom comes downstairs, staring at the mess by the front door.
"I ran out of space in my bags." She groans back. "I need more time."
"You don't have more time, it's time to go!"
"That reject school can wait, I need another suitcase." Sonia scowls. "At least another bag."
Her mom narrows her eyes at her and grabs a big garbage bag. She dumps the rest of Sonia's clothes in and drags the bag to the car. Sonia frowns and follows with the rest of her stuff.
"You really wanna get rid of me, huh?" Sonia mutters, shoving the last of her belongings in the back seat. "Nice to know where I stand in this family."
The ride to Coates was a silent, awkward one. Sonia just stared out the window the whole time, watching other cars pass by on the highway. Her mom glances at her every now and then, her daughters unusual silence making her feel tense. The school comes into view as they drive up the hill.
"You know I'm only doing this because I love you." Her mother whispers.
"Your doing it because I'm not your 'perfect little girl' anymore." Sonia hisses. "Your bringing me to a school where some of these kids will KILL me. Yeah, that'll so make me perfect."
"Don't be dramatic, Sonia. These kids are just misunderstood."
"Mis... Under... Stood." Sonia replies slowly. "You know what? I'm just gonna end this conversation here."
They ride through the gates and stop up front where a few chosen students stood waiting for Sonia(more or less for extra credit). She groans and sulks outside the car as her mom unloads her things. A scrawny girl with her hair in braids walks up to Sonia.
"Hey, are you okay?" She frowns.
Sonia rolls her eyes, "Don't pretend to care. You and I both know you don't want to be here."
The girl falls silent and walks away. Sonia sighs and pushes off the car to stand up. She grabs her things and struggles to walk to her destination. She silently wishes she had more arms. A brunette girl walks up to her, a forced smile plastered onto her face.
"Hey, you need some help?" She stops Sonia.
"Yeah, sure." Sonia hands the girl a bag. "And you are?"
"Diana. I'm your roommate for the school year and if I remember correctly, your name's Sonia?" She shakes Sonia's now free hand for a bit longer than necesarry.
"Eeyup. Mind leading me to the room?"
Sonia pulls her hand away and changes how she was holding her things, now having a suitcase in one hand and a bag slung over her shoulder. Diana leads the way without another word.
They're room was pretty clean, but it looked like someone just moved out. Sonia sets her stuff down on the empty side and flops onto bed to think. She turns her head to see Diana sitting on her bed, laptop in her lap.
Diana opens up her email account and selects "Compose". She looks up to see Sonia still face down on her bed, probably asleep.
'I found another one, she's pretty weird though. I'll bring her at lunch... Keep Drake from scaring her away.'
She hits send and the laptop makes a 'woosh' sound. She closes the device and goes to check on her new roommate, pretending she cares.
"Hey sleeping beauty, get up." Diana shakes her roughly. When Sonia dosen't reply, she rolls her right off the bed.
Sonia glares up at the brunette and sits up slowly, "What?"
"It's time for class, remember?"
"...Oh yeah," Sonia grabs one of her bags and pulls out clothes, a.k.a. The uniform. She quickly changes into it, frowning at the skirt. She sighs and puts on blue, knee-high socks and grabs her schedule out her discarded clothes. She hefts the bag over her shoulder and goes on a search for the locker area.
She finds it in the main building and looks at each number until she finds hers, thankful it's a top locker. She quickly does her combination and pops it open with ease. She loads all her books into the locker except one that she sticks in her small, yet epic, limited edition SAW backpack.
"Hey you!" She stops a random boy in the hall. "Where's room 213?"
"2nd floor, on the left."
She turns heel and heads towards the stairs she saw earlier, taking them two at a time as a habit. She finds the right room and enters her math class. Everyone stares at the new girl with the disturbing backpack. She stares back with a blank expression before turning to the teacher.
"Hey, Mr. Spandex!" She jokes. "Where do I sit?"
He narrows his eyes at her, suspecting she would be trouble in the future, "Ah yes, Ms. Nic-"
"Just Sonia is fine."
She's ignored. "You will be sitting next to Ms. Talent."
Sonia scans the classroom for who he was talking about, "Nice last name, who is she though?"
"Ms. Talent" raises her hand and she goes to sit in the free seat next to her. She smiles at her.
"So, what's your name?" Sonia talks freely, uncaring that class was starting.
"Dekka."
"Nice name, fits perfectly with your last name." Sonia holds her hands together in the air. "Dekka." She spreads her hands. "Talent."
"..."
"We should hang out sometime soon, you look like a nice girl."
"..."
"Your pretty cute too, I like your eyes." Sonia smirks. "Damn, I'm thinking outloud again."
"Ms. Talent, Ms. Nic! It is class time, not socializing time." The teacher, Mr. Wright, grumps.
"Hey, don't bring Dekka into this! Hell, this is a one-sided conversation, I could barely call it socializing so please reword your sentence."
"Ms. Nic-"
"Sonia."
"This is your final warning, young lady. Just because your new doesn't mean you can get away with breaking the rules."
Dekka stares at the new girl, midly surprised Sonia hadn't blamed everything on her like most people would do. She wasn't sure how things would go between them, but she'd figure something out.
~~~~
Sonia sits in her second period class, History. She felt like she was going to die of boredom if the bell didn't ring soon. She checks the clock, unhappy that they still had 30 minutes left. She raises her hand and waits for the teacher to call on her.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" She huffs.
"I don't know, can you?" The teacher starts to try to correct her grammar.
"Yes, actually, I can. I learned how when I was 2."
A few students laugh a bit at the bathroom talk, but not many. Sonia's denied her bathroom and has to endure 30 more, hell-ish minutes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahh, how I love science." Sonia walks into her 3rd period class after break. "The chemicals, the tests, the poor defensless animals."
A few people stare at her because of that last part about animals. She shrugs it off and lines up with the rest of the class. She just barely listens to the teachers announcement.
'Oh goody.' She thinks sourly. 'Just my luck to come on the day when we choose our own partners. I don't even know anyone!'
She stands awkwardly as everyone rushes to partner up with their friends. She looks around to see basically everyone partnered up except for her and 3 other people who were in a stare-off.
The first was a nerdy kid, who seemed smart but had snot dripping out his nose. Not to mention he was really scrawny... Sonia shakes her head and looks at the 2nd kid.
She had black, short cut hair, tan skin and way to much make up. She kept looking around for some reason and checking her nails. Sonia shakes her head again, dubbing the girl as a slut from the way she was looking at the other boys.
The final kid was a blonde boy. He was tall and pretty muscular(just not in an overly noticable way). Sonia sighs, noting he seemed pretty normal and average compared to the other 2.
"Hey you with the face!" Sonia walks up to him. "Your my science partner."
The whole room seems to grow silent, people staring at the two of them. They were a bit shocked with who she chose, but then again, she WAS the new girl.
"Says who?" The boy sneers back.
"Says me." She shrugs and points to Mrs. Joel. "And the teacher who wrote our names down."
He shrugs and goes to sit down, kicking the partners who were originally there out their spot. Sonia sighs and goes to sit next to him, making a note to pick someone else next chance she got.
"So, what's your name?" She pokes his arm. He stays silent and stares at her. She frowns at being ignored like that. She pokes him again. "Hey, you! What. Is. Your. Name?"
Still no answer.
A smaller boy leans over to answer her, "His name's-"
"Up-bu-buh!" She interupts him. "If he won't tell me his name, I'll give him one."
"I don't think-"
"His name shall be Chewy!"
The class falls silent, even the teacher was staring at her. They really wanted to tell her who she was messing with, but she wouldn't let them. The 'slut' from earlier clears her throat with a snicker.
"And why exactly do you want to call him Chewy."
"Because that was the name of my blonde hamster!" Sonia smirks at the boy. "So, Chewy it is."
Class slowly shifts back into gear, Sonia oblivious to 'Chewy' glaring at her. He wasn't very fond of the nickname and deciedes to answer her.
"Drake."
Sonia snaps her head to the side, "Hm?"
"Drake."
She quickly catches on and grins, "Oh cool, like the rapper?"
"..."
Drake was extremly annoyed with the new girl. She talked too much and didn't listen, not to mention she just called him Chewy. This was NOT going to work out, he just new it. He would've been better off with anyone else but her.
Sonia frowns, struggling to keep up with the teachers lecture. She told her mom to at least wait until the next school year, but no. It was too important to start right away. So she started second semester, and already knew she was going to fail.
The teacher was lecturing them on something about atoms... Or maybe plants. She couldn't tell, she was distracted by trying to keep up with what she had said before. She scribbles notes furiously on her notebook, her writing barely legible.
"Please pull out your textbooks and turn to page 85." The teacher instructs.
Sonia looks up as she realizes she forgot to get her Science book. She looks to Drake, but he ignores her and keeps the book for away from her. She didn't say anything, not wanting to make a big deal over it... But then again...
"Drake," She whispers. "Let me use your book."
He glances at her boredly, "No."
"But-"
"Sonia, you seem like such a chatterbox today." The teacher singles her out. "Perhap's you were talking about the history of evolution?"
"U-Uh... Yes? Um... Yeah... Chewy says we evolved... Really great." She makes it up as she goes along. "And... Human's were created thousands of years ago."
Students snigger at her as she tries to talk her way through it. A bright red blush floods her cheeks as all eyes go on her. She zones out and lays her head down on the desk and sighs. The teacher checks the time and clears her throat.
"Class, remember we start our Sex Education Class tommorrow."
"Of course..." Sonia whispers, but looks up to glare at Drake as the bell rings. "Thanks for sharing your book, Chewy."
"Glad to be of service." He rolls his eyes.
Sonia scowls and does whatever she thinks of next. She snatches up the textbook and throws it at him. She pauses, amazed that she just did that. She turns and speeds walk away to her next class, Home Ec. She could hear Drake ranting and raving over her little tantrum.
She ducks into the classroom, taking a seat at random and keeping her head down. She squeaks as the all-to-familiar voice of an angry Drake fills the classroom.
"The nerve of that brat!" He growls, throwing his things down and sitting in a seat across the room.
I sigh in relief as the bell rings and the class settles down. We had a free day since the teacher was out sick, so some random teacher on break was supervising. I make sure to keep my head down so Drake wouldn't see me... That boy is pretty scary.
"Your new here, aren't you?" The brunette I sat next to asks.
I look up at him, surprised to find he was actually pretty cute. I smile nervously and look around.
"Yeah, just started today,"
"Well there's no need to be shy, almost everyone here is very nice." He explains with a warm smile.
"Yeah, almost." I scoot lower in my chair. "I'm far from shy... I'm hiding."
"From who?"
"Dra-"
"Me." Drake grabs a fistful of my hair and jerks me back out my chair.
"OW! WHAT THE HELL?" I snap angrily.
"Payback." He scowls.
I scan the room for a familiar face, someone, ANYONE. I finally find it, feeling like she was my gaurdian angel right then and there. I take a deep breath and scream at the top of my lungs.
"DIANA!"
Said girl whirls around, looking a bit annoyed. She sighs and walks over, whispering something in the brunette's ear. He stands and faces Drake.
"Drake, let her go." He instructs.
"Why should I? A little punch shouldn't hurt her... Much." Drake sneers.
As they talk, I glare at the stupid teacher. Real nice supervising he's doing over there. I try and wriggle free, not really getting anywhere. I snake my hand into my backpack for anything I could use to get free. I come across a pair of small siccors...
I stab the siccors into Drake's arm, feeling very defensive. He releases to me and begins to yell swear words as he clutches his wrist. He pulls the siccors out and glares daggers at me... If looks could kill...
"Damn." Diana stares.
LUNCHTIME
Diana convinced me to sit with her and her friend. We were in his dorm currently, eating whatever was left of our lunches.
"So, what was your name again?" I ask the boy.
"Caine Soren." He looks up and gives me that smile again.
"Sonia Nic."
The door swings open and Drake stomps in, grumbling nonsense. He stops mid-step to glare at me, then sits across the room on his own bed. I look away and notice Diana and Caine staring at me.
"Um... Yeah?" I say awkwardly. "Why're you staring at me?"
Caine glances at Diana, "Are you sure she's a 3 bar?"
"It was a weak 3."
"Hey, um, what're you talking about?" Sonia frowns.
"Should we tell her?" Diana sighs.
"Yes."
