2- System of a Down owns the song.
I wave bye to Dave
as I leave out the door for the school bus. We moved to Rhode
Island from Maine over the summer so I have a new school to go to
today. Yay; new
school means new strangers waiting to
stick you in your locker and steal your
pudding. Can't
wait.
The bus drives up to her standing on the side of the street. Doors open showing a friendly looking, heavy set man.
"You the new girl?" he asks receiving a nod from her. "I'm Ron Wilson, your bus driver. Dessa right?" he asks as she climb aboard.
"J-just Des."
"Okay, just Des." Ron stands. "Everyone listen up," the bus goes silent and the teen's attention fixes on them. "This is Des, she's new; be nice."
Oh, Kill me now.
Des walks straight to the empty back seat avoiding the eyes on her. She skips a song on her I-pod as she sits next to the window.

"Great, now Warren's gonna have a sidekick." Will says grimly.
"Where do you think she moved from?" Layna asks.
"Or why? She's got the get-up of a villain." Ethan says on the account of her being the black spot of the bus.
"Don't assume anything about her yet Ethan. That's how stereo-types were created." Layna looks to Des. "Maybe she's just shy."
"And Warren is my best friend." Will says sarcastically. "Then again…he did help us defeat Royal Pain and he looks like a villain."
"My point exactly." Layna says.
"I like her hair." Magenta announces.
Some soft landing Ron. I stay seated watching everyone stand hustling out the door. I stand and phase through the bus outside and head towards the school. Must everyone stare? Better wet, can they stare any harder? Man, I hate cheerleaders. A black girl is cheering welcoming the freshman and other students (back) to Sky High. The six of them disappear back into one. Neat power, except I can already tell I'm not gonna like her. Far too perky for me and I get the conceded vibe from her. I enter the school and search for my home room, but I didn't have to search all too hard since I was here the week before to register. Mr. Medulla, the science slash technology teacher. He's a genius and he should be with that big head of his.
"Good Morning Dessandra."
"Morning."
Dessandra walks to the back row and sits in the corner, takes out her compo and begins to doodle around a poem. A few minuets later a boy dressed in black comes in.
"Welcome back Warren." Mr. Medulla greets but doesn't get a response back.
Warren stops in front of Des, "You're in my seat."
"Warren-" Medulla begins but stops as Des slides over to the next seat and Warren sits next to her.
I've never seen her before, must be new. At least she didn't give me a hard time about moving, sounds like she's listening to System of a Down. I look her over: semi-baggy black jeans, the bottoms severely tattered. A black shirt under a black zip up hoodie with stitch-ons covering the back. She's got the smallest ears I've ever seen. Her hair is just below her shoulders, her bangs are brown and the rest of her hair is blue and dark purple.
I slowly turn my gaze to him starting at his feet on the floor. Black boots faded and tattered blue jeans, a worn leather coat over a black tee and a nice tan. Dark brown hair almost as long as mine. He turns looking at me and I look away. Brown eyes, angry maybe, I looked away too fast to tell. And a red streak in his hair on the right side.
The bell rings signaling the start of home base. The door opens and two guys enter: a black haired, heavyset, and a backwards cap. The other slim with brown hair.
"How nice to see you back this year, and so soon." Medulla says unenthusiastically.
"It's good to be back." The heavyset one says in the same manner.
"Yep." The brunette stretches across the room to his seat in front of Warren. "Hello," he says getting Des's attention. "I'm Lash; I enjoy bullying freshman, skipping class and starting fights."
A gust of wind goes by Des and in front of her sitting is the heavy set one.
"I'm speed; I like bullying the freshman, racing people and winning."
"And you are?"
"Des."
"You new here?" Speed asks receiving a nod.
Obviously.
"What's your power?" Lash asks.
Des fades fast becoming invisible.
"Sweet, ghost girl."
"Des." Medulla says.
Des becomes visible again and Medulla gives her a look since she knew she wasn't supposed to use her powers out of the school gym.
