This is going to a very interesting school.
Everyone else stood up as well and followed him. I looked around one more time before standing up and following them. "Where's the gym?" I asked looking around more as we walked into a big room that smelled very nice. "It's attached to the dorms; you'll see it tomorrow for P.E." Clinton said looking at me strangely, most likely because I was looking around like a kid in the cereal ale at a store. "Oh, okay." I said taking a plate from the huge rack of clean dishes. I walked down the line looking at all the food. "The food's safe, you know." Shin said looking over my shoulder. "I know but I haven't had this kinda food in a long time so I'm just trying to remember what each thing taste like." I said giving him a smile. "Ok then." He replied filling his plate with a lot of food. I stared at him in awe for a minute then stopped before he could see me.
I forgot . . . guys love food, so that means I have to get a lot so they don't think I'm more of a girl then I look.
"Hey Tai." Matt called out to me. I turned around but he was already right beside me leaning over me. "If you don't remember what food you like by how it looks then why not read the labels?" he said pointing to a small piece of paper that had Chow Ming written on it. I smacked my head. Matt let out a laugh as he hit my back and walked away with his tray and sat down at a table with Shin, Clinton, and Hiro. "I had the same problem when I first got here too so don't feel stupid." Martin said smiling. "I'll help you out." he said putting his tray next to mine. "Thanks." I replied. He helped me find all my favorite kinds of food. I had to get a little more than I'd originanaly get to make it look like a guy was eating. We both walk over to the table everyone else was sitting at and sat down. I was sitting between Martin and Matt. I occasionally glanced up from my tray to see everyone else. They were….well eating like guys.
How do they do that! It's in a frickin pattern shovel food into mouth, chew, drink, swallow, repeat. My god it's weird how guys eat!
I tried my best not to watch them but it was so hard not to make a comment. They were done faster than they started and went back for dessert leave me and Martin to eat the rest of our food. Martin didn't strike me as the kind of guy that would eat his food slowly instead of inhale it like everyone else. "Hey Tai?" he said unexpectedly. "Yeah." I said putting another chopstick full of food in my mouth. "I know I've only known you for couple of minutes but can I ask you somethin'?" he said this time a little more serious than before. "Sure you can ask me anything." I replied taking a sip of my drink. "What does it mean when a girl says she's two months late? I choked on my drink and coughed up a lot of it.
Why the hell did he ask me!
"Um it's not my place to say exactly. I'm not a girl." I said regaining my breathing pattern. "I'm sorry mon, I should have thought before I asked that kind of question to a kid like yourself." He said as he stood up and began to walk out of the cafeteria. "Martin!" I called as he walked out. "Don't worry he's just going to regain his thoughts that's all, so don't worry about him." Clinton said as he placed a bowl of pudding in front of me. As he leaned down to place it on the table I noticed his roots were black. His hair had been dyed blond. He wasn't Japanese but it's odd to see a black haired person to dye their hair blond and look good afterwards. I finished my pudding and looked at the clock. It was already 5:30. "I'm going back to my room for a while; I'll catch up with you guys later." I said waving them bye and heading toward the staircase. I found my room and unlocked the door. I sighed then entered the room. I put the key on the desk that didn't already have stuff on it and climbed onto the top bunk and plopped down. "This is going to be a hectic 4 years of my life, if I stay here that long that is." I said closing my eyes and taking a deep breathe. The sound of a door opening brought my attention back to reality and I lifted my head up and threw it back down as soon as I did.
God damn and to make my life even more hectic I have to share a room with one of the reasons I came here!
Yep it was Chod who came out of the bathroom, probably after taking a shower. His wet black hair made his gorgeous green eyes stand out like Seimei's. He also had a slender torso with a little bit of abs like Kouji and Koechii's. I know it was wrong to check him out but he was just so hott couldn't help myself. "Who are you?" he asked causing me to snap back into reality. "I'm Tai Garrett; I'm your new roommate." I said jumping down from the bed and landing in front of him. He was taller than me but everyone seemed to be around here. "So you're the new student all the teachers were making a fuse over. I pictured you a little taller." He said walking passed me and sat down on his bed. "What sport do you play?" he asked as he started drying his hair. "Baseball, I really love it." I said as I leaned against the pole of the bunk beds. "You say that now but soon it won't matter to you, just like basketball to me." He said with his head down. "You quit basketball? But why?" I yelled shaking him. "What do you care if I quit? It's not your decision, now get off me." He said pushing me. "I just mean you were really good at it and now to hear you're quitting is a really big shame. You inspired me to work hard at the thing I loved that's all." I said climbing onto the top bunk and lied down. "So you were a fan of mine?" he said, probably lying down on his bed. "Kind of, I always found you inspiring like a role model for athletes." I said rolling over and looked out the window. He was quiet for the rest of the night. I soon fell asleep but once I did it didn't seem like I slept at all. "Three…Two… One…ring." I heard Chod's voice. The next thing I heard was the loud ringing of an old alarm clock in my ear. "WOAH! I'm up! I'm up! Don't kill me please!" I yelled hopping up and hitting my head on the ceiling. "Owwwww."
Now I know why Jin never let me have the top bunk. He doesn't want me hitting my head like that. And what the hell is up with everyone having to wake me up by giving me a headache!
"Time to get up." Chod said as he brushed his hair. I climbed down from the bed rubbing my head. "You know you could've shaken me to wake me up." I said getting my school clothes and walking towards the bathroom. "I know but it was much funnier watching you freak out." He said smiling. "Thanks." I said with a limitless amount of sarcasm. I walked into the bathroom and started changing into the school uniform. I was just about to sling my hair over my shoulder, like I normally would, but then I remembered it was cut off.
I miss my hair!
I ran my hand through what was left of my red hair and sighed. It was my fault it was cut, it was my fault I wanted to go to this school instead of any other school, it had to be this one. "Hurry up or I'm going to leave you." Chod's voice from the other side of the door. But hell I wasin the same room as Chod, who cares! I rushed out and grabbed my bag that had all my school supplies in it.
