Kori took in a deep breath that was meant to calm but only found her self more nerves. She pulled at a loose strand of her long, plentiful, auburn locks and gripped her books tighter. She took a step forward but stopped all most immediately.
What if I don't fit in? Or what if I do something totally embarrassing? What if I don't make any friends? Or what if……
She was lost in the land of 'what ifs' and there was no way of getting out of it.
What if someone found out I had powers! That would be horrible!
"O My God, do you have a seasser or something?" Said a girl with long blood hair and was wearing a mini-mini skirt with a pink shirt that was two sizes to small. She had on high-heeled shoes with a handbag in one hand and a cell phone in the other. A group of girls who looked exactly like the blood one snickered and followed their leader inside the Jump City High School.
Kori looked down and saw that she was shaking. She felt her soft tan cheeks heat up. She sighed and walked threw the huge double doors of the school. She entered the crowded hallways and tried to find the office. She stood on her tippy-toes to try to rise above the crowed and get a better view. She thought about flying but quickly shook the idea out of her mind. What was she, insane? Did she want people to know about her powers?
BAM
She was knocked of her feet with such force that she landed a few feet from where she stood originally. She slowly sat up and rubbed her arm. Yup, there would be a nasty bruise there by the end of the day. Great. She looked around for someone who might help her but no one didn't even notice her on the hard floor with her bag and books everywhere at once. She got to her knees and began to gather her things.
She got to her feet and began to walk down the hall when she saw a sign that said
SCHOOL OFFICE TO THE LEFT
She turned left and found the place she was looking for. She walked in and to the lady behind the desk.
The lady had white hair to her shoulders and a cheep suit for women that she probably got from k-mart.
"Can I help you miss?" Asked the lady nicely.
"I'm new here. My name is Kori Andrews."
"Welcome. Here are your classes and times and this sheet has a map of the school. This number here is your locker and here is its code." (I forget what you call them) She said pointing to different sheets of paper in a packet.
"But wait…doesn't someone show me around the….." Kori looked at the woman who was busily typing away. She was obviously dismissed.
She grabbed her papers and headed back into the crowded mess of students in the halls. She pushed and shoved until she found her locker. She whimpered as she realized her locker was out of her reach even for her tall slender body. How freaking tall do they think I can be? God, I hate this!
She turned to try to find someone who could help her when she spotted a most peculiar sight. A half robot half human African American boy was talking to a green boy with green eyes and hair. She walked over to them.
"Excuse me, but um….well….I can't reach my um…locker. I know it's pretty stupid.."
"Sure, I'd love to help you. Hey you new here?" Asked the half robot half human. He seemed really nice.
" Yes I am. My name is Kori. Who is this?" She asked referring to the green one.
"This is my best friend Garfield. And I am Victor."
"Hey Kori. Actually my name is Gar." Said Garfield looking at his friend. Victor rolled his eyes at Gar. Kori giggled and showed them to her locker. Kori handed Victor her locker code and he unlocked it and placed her English and Math books in it.
"So do you want us to show you around the school?" Asked Victor.
"Please do."
"Where's your first class?" Asked Gar.
"Umm…let's see. History 8:30" Kori said studying her paper with all her schedules.
"Same here. We can walk there together." Said Victor with a huge smile on his half robot half human features.
Maybe today isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have two new friends. Kori thought. On their way there they talked and talked until they reached the classroom. Gar opened the door for Victor and Kori. They walked in and sat in the back. Kori got out her history book, notebook, and pen.
Richard walked into his history class with a group of girls who reeked of perfume and richness. Not that he wasn't the multibillionaire Bruce Wayne's adopted son, but at least he didn't go around showing it and buying everything that came into sight. He raked a hand through his ebony gelled hair. Stupid slutty girls! Go invade someone else space and breathing air! Richard shouted in his mind. Unfortunately he was too much of a gentleman to tell the girls to back off.
"Hey Rich, over here!" He heard Gar yell over the girls annoying voices and giggles. He sighed with relief. He coolly broke the circle of girls and headed over to his two friends Victor and Garfield.
"Hey guys! Thank you soooo much! Those idiots make me wanna throw-up."
"Hey meet our new friend Kori. She's new." Said Victor with a wink.
"Hello. I am Kori." Said a girl who out stretched her hand to him.
"Umm… hi. I'm Richard." He shook the beautiful girls hand. It was so soft. He stared into her dark, green eyes. He started to slip into a fantasy world. Kori was in a bikini. Her hair was swaying in the wind. She took a step forward and…..What AM I doing? I hate girls! They're all like Kitten! Slutty and snobby!
Richard looked away and sat in his desk next to Gar. The teacher came in and started to talk about something really boring. After class he gathered his books and followed Kori, Victor, and Gar to Math and after that English.
"Finally! Time to eat my meat!" Shouted Victor as he closed his locker and headed over to Kori's to help her put her things away and get ready for lunch.
"And Time for Tofu dogs!" Added Gar.
"What?" Asked a confused Kori. Richard thought she looked so cute with that look on her troubled features. He snapped out of it.
" Well, umm it's fake meat for vegetarians." Richard explained.
"And it tastes so so so so so so ……"
"Much like crape! Kori don't even try to swallow that shit!" Victor interrupted.
" NO! I was going to say, before I was so rudely interrupted, that it taste so good." Said an irritated Garfield. Kori Giggled.
Richard slipped into his own world again. Everything disappeared except for the beautiful slim tall girl giggling her head of that was standing in front of him.
"Dude! Come on. We're leaving." Once more he realized what he was doing. He ran to catch up with his friends who we're already in the cafeteria lunch line.
Kitten looked as her boy went googly eyed for this new girl. She decided she hated the new girl and was going to try to do everything to make her look bad in front of Richard. I know he likes me but he's too afraid to tell me.
