Author´s note:
HI! So this is another story I was thinking of, right now I have lots of ideas for one-shots… so if you offer me an idea, I will get back to you, and I will start working on it as soon as possible! And it will take me time to get them all done, so you will see lots of new stories in my page!
Also, so it all makes sense, this story is like a human version, on high school, just so you know, and the classes that I write are classes that are in my school, so yeah, I´m not in high school, so these classes may not be as advanced, but I will not get into detail about that, just thought I let you know.
Anyway, hope you like these story and review!
Chapter 1- New student and New Project
Tigress was seating there, taking notes. It was 5 period of the day, that was science class. Most of the time, it was fun, at least for her, but today they were going over the instructions for a project. And, of course, people weren´t listening, some of them were taking notes, which meant writing every single word the teacher said, and some were sleeping and dying of boredom.
Tigress was looking around, seeing how people were texting others, without being noticed by the teacher, or that's what they thought, because in her point of view, is so obvious what they are doing. Then she saw some people who were passing notes, they were mostly the ´popular´ girls.
Yes, she was not a popular girl. She was lots of things, maybe a nerd, an artist, a teacher´s pet, a know-it-all, an athletic, but definitely NOT a popular. Not that she wanted to be, after all, they weren´t really nice, and they seemed to pretend who they were, and mostly they…wore… make-up. Something she would never do, and didn´t know how. Make-up was like an unknown planet to her. But she didn´t wanted to discover it. However, with make-up came boys. Something she said she didn´t want, but of course, part of her desire.
Last year, she was mostly invisible, this year, well, she came out of the shadows, she joined more clubs, she was the leader of most of them, (by clubs I don´t mean cheerleading) And she was more confident. And she got a new hair-cut too. This haircut seemed to make people look twice at her. She wasn´t the prettiest girl, but she didn´t look bad either, she was good-looking, but she was invisible to boys. She was tall and thin, and she wore jeans, (if you saw her wearing a dress or a skirt, something must be wrong). And her style was chic, not really girly, but not a tomboy either. Her hair was brown and shoulder-length, however, she had dyed a strip of her hair red, a burning red. It looked cool, and that was the thing that made people look at her.
But back to her science class…
She was doodling around the handout she got.
Blah Blah Blah was all she could hear the teacher say. She wasn´t usually like this, but this, this was all the way boring.
"So when is this due, Tigress?" the teacher asked. She stopped her drawing halfway and look up, she tried to see around the room to see anything that could help her find the answer.
Next Friday it said in the front of the classroom.
"Umm, is due next Friday" She said, trying to look confident so he didn´t notice her how unsure she was of it.
"Correct, so as I was saying, this project will be by partners, which I will let you choose". The teacher informed. Tigress sighed in relief that she was right. But when she heard the word "partners" She looked around the room, finding no one she could pair with. She then started to make her dialogue in her head on how she would say to the teacher if she could work by herself, which, honestly she liked better.
However, her internal monologue was interrupted by someone coming into the classroom. As he started walking towards the teacher, he saw that all the classroom was staring at him, including Tigress, when he looked back, he made eye contact with her, and then he waved at her. She smiled at his gesture and went back to doodling in her piece of paper.
"Students, we have a new person joining our class, his name is Po". Everyone started at him, but he wasn´t uncomfortable with that, he waved at everyone in the classroom. Tigress couldn´t stop staring at the new guy, he was tall and square, not fat but not extremely thin either. He had black hair and jade-green eyes. The most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, she wanted to keep looking into them, but she couldn´t or it would be really awkward.
After his introduction, the teacher said that everyone could start getting their partners. Everyone immediately stood up and went with their friends. Tigress stayed still, doodling and daydreaming in her seat. She was drawing a princess and a prince, she was not the girl who needed a guy, but a boyfriend would be cool to have. She kept drawing that, but adding more details and shadowing the picture. You could see the face of the princess, it looked, somewhat similar to her, but the prince´s face, was not visible, it was all covered in a big shadow, hiding its identity. Tigress started daydreaming of who that person could be and how he might look. As she was daydreaming, a voice bought her back.
"Tigress" The teacher said.
She looked up from her seat and look where the voice was coming, it was the teacher talking to Po.
"Tigress, is it ok if I put Po as your partner for this project?" he asked her.
"Umm, sure, no problem" Then she gave a warm smile at Po.
"Good" Then he turned around. Po went over to Tigress, but then the bell rang, indicating lunch. He smiled at her and then headed out. Leaving Tigress looking at nothingness, were seconds before he was standing.
She was imagining his eyes, his green-jade eyes. She took out a piece of paper out of her binder and did a quick sketch, not wanting to lose the memory she had of him. Then she took out the picture she was drawing earlier, and she added one detail, one that was important, she erased part of the shadow that covered the prince, and drew those eyes. Then she took her stuff, and headed to the locker to get her lunch.
Hi! SO this is chapter one, I hope you all liked it and in the next chapters there is going to be more about Tigress. And also more information about her social life and that kind of stuff, and of course, more TiPo. Oh and forgot to mention that this story takes place in present day, so they have cell-phones and that kind of stuff.
Anyway I hope you enjoy and I will be updating soon… oh please leave your reviews!
-Peace out
