It all started that one day when they came; those seven people that marked the start of my seemingly new and adventurous life. I can clearly remember it.
"…Yawn…" I said quietly to myself as I yawned. "This so called Soul Eater is quite addictive. The theme is fascinating…almost true."
I was sitting in the lounge room of our school's student to student part. Student to student is a program in which new students are assigned to older students who will show the school around. I am unfortunately not in it, I will next year, if that counts.
The room has lots of bean bags, a coffee table, a three seat sofa, a two seat sofa, bookcases, two TVs, multiple consoles and a stereo which is on blasting. I was alone in the room, indeed I was almost alone in the whole building, and only some sponsors are here. I usually spend my time here helping around. As I finished my Soul Eater manga Volume 1, the door opened and Ms. Tran, our VP stepped in.
"Hey Gary, are any of the sponsors here?" She asked. She was a tall woman with short black Cleopatra hair and dark eyes.
"Uh, yes. Shall I get them?"
"Please, we have seven new people… and they are here."
"Seven?" I jumped up. "Okay, I'll get Mackie." Mackie, as we like to call her, is a senior. I'm a freshmen, and I am enjoying it. I didn't even have to get to the door, the said person appeared.
"Oh goodie! New people." Six people came in, three guys and three girls.
First one in was a good looking guy, if I may say that. I would've said he is Irish because of copper red hair, some light freckles, and that great green madras shirt he had, but his American accent gave him away.
"Ooh, some nice place this is."
Second in was a girl, about the same height as the red head guy. She had long, curly dark red hair. Almost dark crimson. Her eyes were either dark brown or dark red, I couldn't tell. The name Ruby would fit her perfectly.
Third person was a taller girl, with a larger bust. She had long dirty blond hair that had light waves in it. She had real pretty blue eyes. She had a creative and funny shirt. It was black, with a target on it, and it said Haters Target with white on it. I loved that shirt.
After her came a girl with emo style. Emo is not my favourite, but she makes it look cool. She had black and purple stockings with combat boots. She had a black mini skirt, and under it a longer skin tight black jeans. She wore a black leather jacket, buttoned up. She had black hair, with neon colour high lights here and there, and surprisingly she had no makeup on.
Then came a shorter person, European for sure. He had sandy blond hair and brown eyes. Notable feature about him were his high cheek bones, his elfish smile, and aside from his wavy medium length hair, he had some groups of hair just randomly stands out by his cowlick.
The last person to enter was the same height of the previous person, with the same elfish smile. He had formal-ish attire, with black pants, shoes, and a dark blue shirt.
"You know Mackenzie, they are the students from the American DoDEA school. Every seven of them…or, wait."
I could hear heavy footsteps from the distance, and…chains. "Stooooooop!" Scratch that, the last last person came in. He was the tallest, if I have to guess, 6 foot 4 inches, at least. He was ginormous! He was bulky and sturdy, but not fat. He may have some surplus of fat, but most of his weight consisted of his bones and muscles. His clothing was nothing interesting.
"My major apologies Ms. Tran. I had an…accident with the water fountain," he said smiling as he closed the door behind him. Just before he closed the door, I saw some people running towards the closes water fountain, and the spraying of water could be heard.
Ms. Tran just cocked an eyebrow. "Anyhow, these are the students from the American DoDEA school, you know, for the student guest program?"
"Oh, psh yeah. I know it; we've been waiting for you." The new people looked much older, but I guessed they were freshmen too.
"I've got other things to do. I'll leave you with her 'kay?" And she left the room.
"Well, welcome to our American School. I'm Mackenzie, and I'll be helping you to get around," she smiled. "Now, I need your names."
The names of the people, in order of appearance are: Kevin Hauffner, Ruby Troth, Morgen Von Heuckelum, Tisdale Fluff, which by the way almost cracked me up, Nejc Suhadolc, Dominic Granger, and Salamon Chains.
I was looking at Salamon, and thinking. Isn't he Hungarian too? I mean, Salamon is Hungarian; Solomon is English…as I was thinking that, I shifted my gaze back to my newly taken out, Volume 2 of Soul Eater. I was reading and I felt something tower above me.
"That is one good series." His light, deep voice almost echoed in my head.
"Hm?" I look up and see Salamon grinning. "Oh, I know. Quite interesting."
"You Hungarian?"
"Yes."
"Okay then, Hungarian power!" He said with a large grin, as he showed me his knuckle. Normally, I would hit it with my knuckle, but since he is Hungarian too…it is weird he didn't ask me in Hungarian.
Oh what the hell. "Hungarian power!" I hit his knuckle.
"I see you befriended Salamon already," Mackie says giving me a quick, friendly look. "Then I assign you with Salamon, Nate, and Dominic."
"Ma'am, it is Nejc, you Americans would say like there are multiple people with the name Nate, as in plural, Nates," Nejc says.
"My bad, anyhow, follow Gary around; he'll show you the place."
We broke into two groups, Mackie got Morgen, Ruby, Tisdale, and Kevin; and I got Nejc, Salamon and Dominic. There is something weird about them, I don't know what exactly, but just…different, and not that they are from America, no, something more…deep. I was about to leave without my Volume 2, but just before I stepped out of the department, I turned and snatched it.
Once outside, the water fountain caught my eye. Well, not the water fountain, but the place where the water fountain should be.
"I told you, I had an accident." Salamon says, and I just see Nejc give him the nasty look.
"We'll talk about this later," He said quietly. Funny how I think that Nejc, a guy about 5"5' is bossing a giant around. Oh well, who knows their relation, maybe Nejc is the older one.
Salamon walked to me, and whispered to my ear. "I'll show you how I did that…when we are alone." Then he stepped back. Nejc gave him a hit on the shoulder, not the friendly, and gave him the look again. "What?"
"Lord Shinigami didn't say to do that. We aren't even sure he is one of alike." He said very quietly, and I don't even know how I heard it.
"Just ignore them, they are always like that." Dominic said with a smile and a gentle shook of his head.
The rest of day went peacefully, though one very interesting thing happened…well normal people wouldn't say interesting, more like awkward, but interesting for me. They asked me where the bathroom was, and while going there, I heard Nejc mumble a little song. It went like this, 'Forty-two forty-two five sixty four, whenever you wanna knock on Death's door.' or something like that. I would've really thought that they were Satanists, but when I heard a happy-go-lucky male's voice, not anymore.
I had a little bag of mysteries, Volume 1 should be in there, and it was. I found the page I was looking for, the part when Maka and Soul ate their 99th soul, and were about to get their one witch soul. Maka did the same thing, went to a glass, wrote 42-42-564 and did the chanting. Were they pulling a prank on me?
They came out of the bathroom, with a serious face.
"Listen Gary, we will tell this you once, and only once," Nejc said.
"That you are reading there, that is true," Salamon said with a smile and pointed at my manga.
"You are a Meister."
I think they are insane…
What could've I said? I didn't believe them of course…but still. There was proof of that they exist, I mean, if you just chant in front of a mirror, no one will answer! But it did…
