Tittle confrontation
Summary: I will come back to that…
Italics are Nula's thoughts.
Thankyou to everyone who had reviewed this story; if it wasn't for you I would have just given up and taken this story down for good. But I decided to give the story one more shot so here it is!
The room was quiet. Sunshine streamed into the room through the blinds, and blue doona covers lay on the floor having been pushed off during the night. 'Wake up!' Nula's mother cried "You are going to be late and on your first day"
'What?' Nula whispered rolling out of bed, half crawling, half walking downstairs.
'YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE, UP NOW!' Her mother waited downstairs tapping her foot until Nula arrived.
'Ok! Ok! I am up...what time is it?' Nula asked rubbing her eyes.
'8.05!' Her mother wailed impatiently pushing her into the table next to her cereal.
'Why didn't you wake me up?' Nula wailed taking a few quick bites then running around frantically looking for her uniform.
'What do you think I am doing? Your uniform is on the back of the door and don't wrinkle it! You want to make a good impression don't you'
'Yes mum' she droned as she ran upstairs again. Nula had given up long ago with arguing to her mum about appearances. It was like talking back to a recorded message. She quickly got changed and brushed her bright blue hair putting it up in her usual hair clip then grabbed her bag and checked for the third time that she packed her bey blade. She ran outside and headed towards where she hoped school was.Her heart was beating rapidly as she approached It.
She had always resented going to new schools every few years and was happy that her mum said that this time was permanent…… but now she wasn't so sure.
This place is huge! It's big, even for a city school. Maybe I will just turn around now and come back a bit later when everyone is in class... she made to do so and collided with a barrier of pink.
'Watch where you are going!' It hissed
'Mariah!' Another stranger said. 'You shouldn't shout at her… she's new'
Mariah who was until just then fuming about the violation of her blindingly pink hair blushed profusely and mumbled an apology.
'So' the stranger said glaring at Mariah. I am Ray and this is Mariah, we are sophomores at Rosevale and...you are?'
Slightly nervous, she answered quietly 'm-my name is Nula nice to meet you'
Stupid, stupid Nula don't act like you're scared of them!
'Nice to meet you!' they answered in unison making her take a step back in suprise.
'anyway...' Mariah said 'we have to be getting in before the bell goes. You probably have to go to the principles office to get you schedule but you can catch up with us later if you want'
'Yeah sure' she said gladly blushing a little with embarrassment and hoping she didn't sound to desperate.
'Ok then see you soon' ray said flashing a picture perfect smile at her as he walked into a main building with Mariah.
'So' Mr Dickenson said as she entered the office 'welcome to Rosevale! I am Mr Dickinson and you are Nula Satiari?'
'Yes' she stated confused. How many new people are coming today? Does he really not know my name?
'Well' he said searching for words 'I think you will fit in here at Rosevale just fine. Here is your schedule and don't forget to check the notice board for some of our clubs. Speaking of clubs do you have a special talent that you would be able to contribute to this school? You are a top marks student but I was wondering if you had any specific interests…' he seemed doubtful.
'I can bey blade' she said wondering to herself if this school even had a beyblade team.
'Ah perfect there are auditions on tomorrow for the new beyblade team! But don't get your hopes up, we have quite a lot of talent in this school and a rather...let's just say discriminative captain-'
'How so?' She cut in finally interested in what the man had to say.
'Well' he said 'there has only been one female to get into the team and she had to object to me personally so she could join'
'Oh' was all she said. Beyblading was her life and there was no way she wasn't getting onto that team.
'No matter' Mr Dickenson said 'there is a first time for everything, I am afraid I have a few meetings to attend to so again welcome to Rosevale. If you have any troubles feel free to ask your class mates for help or come to me if you have any major problems'
'Thankyou' she said smiling slightly and then left, her head full of thoughts on who exactly this idiot captain was.
Ok you can do this, just walk in there hand the teacher the note and sit down like your NOT the new girl with no idea of what your doing...this self encouragement is failing. Oh well here goes... Knock knock… She waited silently holding her breath.
'Come in' a sharp voice replied.
Nula opened the door and took a breath 'I just came from the principles office. Sorry I was late I had to get my schedule and stuff...''
The teacher did not look impressed but Nula didn't particularly care. She had a valid excuse.
'Well you're here now so sit down and we will continue the lesson. You may sit down next to Valcov'.
Her eyes travelled to the only spare desk. At the end of the third row right beside her desk was a guy with the brightest red hair she had ever seen. It's got to be dyed. As she sat down at her desk and opened her history textbook she realised that many people thought the same thing about her hair once they saw it. It was almost waist length and vividly blue...she glanced at him once or twice but he acted as if she didn't exist so she went back to listening to the teacher (the epitome of boredom)
Suddenly she heard someone talk from behind her. He had blonde hair and a rather friendly grin.
'We are in English class' he whispered keeping his voice low so no one could hear him.
'Yeah, we are' she replied giving him a strange look 'very perceptive of you…'
She lent back and faced her history bookthen turned red, apologised to the innocent blonde then rummaged around for her English book. The rest of the lessons went by normally, copying down notes, listening to the teacher or at least pretending to and answering the odd question. By the end of class she had made friends with the blonde who had turned out to be called Max and gotten a small nod of acknowledgement from tala.
After class she packed up and found her locker which turned out to be barely operable because of the mangled built in lock. Once she had finished wrestling her books into the suspiciously dented locker she began to feel sick. What was she going to do? She had no one to even sit with! She might not even find Ray and Mariah on the large grounds and they might not have really wanted her to sit with them, they were a couple after all. Nula got her lunch, beyblade and a thick book she was reading then started heading over to a shady looking tree.
'Are you coming?' Said an arrogant voice in the background, she turned around quickly coming face to face with Tala. 'Well are you?' he said 'You have met most of our group already so you might as well'
He didn't seem happy about this however
'Thankyou' she said sincerely as she followed him 'You don't have to thank me for anything' he said harshly, silencing her immediately.
Well that's the revised first chapter! A lot changed but the plot is staying as it is. (There really is a plot cough) Anyway please read and review.
