Lin Chung's pov
"Um Principle Trully …do I um… have to…well it's just um…" I fumbled rocking back and forth on my feet.
"Yes Mr. Chung?" Principle Trully asked, he is a great principle fare and always listens but I'm really bad at talking to other except well my best friend Jumpy.
"Well do I… I mean you know about the… and so I was um…" lucky for me Jumpy also had a question on his schedule.
"Lin… dose not…want Mr. Camel for… art teacher… because… of contest last year" I nodded my head to confirm that was what I was trying to say. Last year there was an art contest and our art teacher Mr. Camel decided to enter a painting and long story short I won and he has been holding a grudge against me ever since.
"Right I forgot about that silly little contest" Principle Truly snickered; you could see my landscape painting behind him. "Well we will see if you can switch art teachers but can you handle it for the day?" I nodded my head and waited outside for Jumpy to be done so we could head to home room with Mr. Nohands.
"Lin does not have to be… afraid… of… Ape Trully" Jumpy said when he got out
"I know Jumpy, I'm not afraid of him, it's just" I rubbed the back of my head
"I know… Lin is… sausage phobic" Jumpy nodded and I couldn't resist the urge to smile
"Social phobic, Jumpy, I might hate them but I am not afraid of sausages" I joked rubbing his head, at least he got better, he use to call it shoe phone.
"Welcome to home room, Lin sit over there, yep right up front and Jumpy you can sit next to him" Mr. Nohands commanded when we entered home room. The other kids were Mystique Sonia, the most popular girl, a cheer leader, has a magic hat and the one that holds the eyes of the entire foot ball and male swim team. Next to her is Mighty Ray the self proclaimed 'Mr. Comedy' and holds a secret crush on Sonia, which he will never admit, not to mention he is also one of my tormentors the one I like the most because I know he is just jealous that I'm the teachers favorite.
"Jumpy what do you have for classes?" I whispered,
"Look" he told me passing his schedule. He has combat, sharpshooting, gym, speak human 101, (thou as a joke I changed the second one to an eight), lunch then history, math, study hall, science, and free period.
"Cool we have the first three classes, and lunch together" I told Jumpy passing him back his schedule, instead of speak human, history and math I got three different art classes then for the last three I have air force pilot lesions.
"Hey Lin chump, what you talking about?" Ray asked tossing something at my back
"Classes" Jumpy told him still facing the front of the room
"Yah, Thumper I asked Lin chump not you" Ray shot back while firing something else at my back that felt strangely like a banana
"Banana brain, his name is Jumpy not Thumper" Sonia scolded Ray as Yaksha gave him a thump on the head. I think Ray was going to shot out some remark but the bell rang interrupting his moment. First period went by with the usual taunts from Kowloon, my long time 'rival' from Miss Latifah's home room which has a legendary rivalry with my home room, the rumor goes that one year, right before they started teaching here, Mr. Nohands and Miss Latifah had a date and it was a disaster, bringing the rivalry. Next class had Archer Lee and Golden eye as my third we had the entire Miss Latifah and Mr. Nohands rivalry, complete with Hurricane Lee, not to mention the 'fly kids' aka Mr. Chou's home room with a special addition of a few 'water wings'.
"Hey Lin, mind if we sit?" my friend Burly asked followed by Mano when lunch finally came, they were in Mr. Chou's home room, but lucky for us the rivalry only goes far as the adults.
"Sure" I mumbled as the two 'fly boys' sat down
"I here Mr. Chou is doing the parachute test… again" me and Mano both groaned, the only thing worse than the parachute test is the motion sickness test.
"Why?" I asked rearranging my peas and mash potatoes so it became a strange combo.
"WHY YOU SELF CENTERED…UG YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S OVER" someone screamed from the other side of the room. When I looked up it was the only 'fly girl' in this school, the beautiful Rosefinch, the girl I've had a crush on sense the third grade, who stormed to my table while her former boy friend had her lunch on his head. "May I sit?" she asked, I blinked twice before moving over to make room in the already roomy table.
"What was that about?" Burly asked
"He keeps staring at that Sonia girl, I just can't take it" Rosefinch growled bashing her hand on the table
"She has…half of school…under her thumb" I mumbled quietly thinking no one heard me
"Wow Lin, that's the most I've ever heard you say at once, now only if we could get Mano to talk" Burly joked slapping me on the back as I blushed
"I know right, hey aren't you in her home room?" she asked, I nodded "what is she like, you think?"
"She is…well um…maybe a little…she can be kind of…" I stuttered, I'm pretty sure my face turned crimson
"A tad like a self centered no good evil little…" Rosefinch trailed off
"Um, not the words… I would um…use but ah" I stuttered looking around to see if anyone heard Rosefinch's rant.
"Sorry, I got carried away, see you in flight classes?" she asked when the bell rang; all I could do was nod. My last three classes couldn't have come faster, you could practically see joy radiate off me as I raced Mano to the hanger
"Someone is excited to be here today" Mr. Chou chuckled after I won the race
"Well um this is… one of my…um favorites" I told him sheepishly as he raised his eyebrow
"And what are your other favorites?" he asked
"I'm guessing the other two after this one" Rosefinch piped up from one of the rockets as we just laughed our heads off. First reason I love my flight classes is that everyone is a friend; second half the time were either joking around or racing each other.
"Not on the first day of school, I'll see you tomorrow" Mr. Chou told us at the end of our three consecutive classes, looking like he had the start of a headache from all of our begging for more time to fly. After a threat of doing another motion sickness test tomorrow we all left to catch our bus.
"Did…Lin…have good day?" Jumpy asked when I sat down next to him
"A very good day Jumpy" I smiled ruffling his fur.
