Hienmar High
Chapter 1
Pilot (will rename if continued)
Inside the Hienmar high it was alive with buzz. Near the entrance hall, a two toned blue haired boy was leaning against a wall listening to two others, a raven haired and red head drabble over the girls they had played over the holidays. He wasn't really listening and was watching the school doors as students walked in and greeted their friends. Suddenly it swung open and an interesting prospect caught his eye.
"Hey guys," he interrupted. "Check out the new chick." They looked down the hall way to the door where a tall, tanned teen was standing taking in her surroundings.
She wore camouflage green combat pants and a yellow singlet top under a white mesh top. On one arm was a white mesh fingerless glove that went to her elbow and both hands had fingerless gloves on. She wore a white Roxy visor and blue Gallas as well as long silver earrings.
"Whoa, what fox hole did she crawl out of?" a dull red head with blue bandanna laughed.
"It's an interesting look," A purple haired boy added. She disappeared down an adjacent corridor.
"Wonder what year she's in?" a flame red haired said looking at the blue haired boy. He shrugged.
"Either way you don't stand a chance," the blue smirked. The flame haired gave him a shove as the bell went and they walked to the senior study.
Oliver walked down the hall way and almost collided with what looked almost like a mixed up army commando.
"Whoa, sorry sir," he said stopping as the other person spun around in surprise.
"No sweat," it said coldly, but it wasn't a masculine voice. It was a girl's voice. Oliver looked at it critically to find it was a girl. She was wearing a very strange style of clothes.
"Are you new here?" he asked shifting his bag on his shoulder.
"Yeah," it replied looking back down the hall.
"What year?"
"12."
"Oh great! You're with me, are you lost?" he asked offering his assistance.
"Not really," she replied.
"Well come with me to the senior study then," he said and grabbed her arm, dragging her down the hall.
"Err.I can walk fine on my own thanks," she said coldly yanking her hand out of his grasp as they neared the Senior Study.
"Come on then," he said shoving her through the door. Everyone looked up at her strangely and then their faces split into smiles as Oliver walked in.
"Hey guys! This is.err, what's your name again?" he said turning back to her.
"Tia," she replied coldly, glaring at him.
"Right! This is Tia!" he said brightly not bothered by her cold stare. "I'm Oliver and this is the rest of the year." Several kids got up to greet her, but she just looked at them as they introduced themselves.
"Hi! I'm Ray," a raven haired boy said offering his hand. She ignored his hand and glared straight at him.
"Careful Ray, I think she bites," a voice drawled from her right. A flame red haired boy was sitting on a lounge, leaning on his knees with his elbows.
"You're right, I do," she replied smirking slightly when Ray drew back his hand. The room laughed.
"What brings you to Hienmar?" asked a blonde haired boy sitting on a desk with three others.
"Got shipped here by the RAAF," she replied coldly, her face set in a cold stare.
"Really? So you're from Australia," a sandy haired boy asked typing in his lap top.
"That's what the A stands for doesn't it?"
"I was wondering about the accent," the dark blue haired boy said from beside him.
"It's not me with the accent," she hissed.
"I'm Tala and I like your attitude," the red head said with a laugh.
"Hey guys!" another voice shouted from outside. It raced in and smashed right into Tia, but she didn't move. A dull red head wearing a blue bandanna smashed into her and fell to the floor.
"Whoa! That hurt!" he shouted and stood up. "Hey you're the new chick."
"You reckon?" she drawled.
"Anyway, what have you got first?" Oliver said tapping her shoulder.
"Sport, Lifestyle and Recreation," she replied not bothering to look at her timetable.
"You're with us then," said Ray as a blonde appeared at his side.
"Ray, who's this?" she asked in a high voice.
"I'm Tia, who are you Barbie?" she replied snidely, immediately not liking the bleached blonde.
"Oh hi, I'm Sammie. Are you new here?" Everyone snickered as she apparently missed the remark Tia made.
"What do you think?" Tia replied rolling her eyes.
"Well the bell just went are you in SLR with us?" she asked sweetly.
"Unfortunately," Tia replied coldly.
"Why did you choose it if you don't like sport?"
"It's not the sport I don't like."
"Oh, you'll get used to Mr Turada," she said sweetly before kissing Ray and walking past. Tia slapped her head and groaned, making Tala laugh so hard he fell off the lounge.
"Ok class, I'd like you to meet Tia Shenohi, she's just shipped in from Australia. Could you tell us a little about yourself?" he asked as Tia stood beside him. They had all changed and were wearing the sports uniform of the school which was a dark blue, white and light blue polo shirt and blue shorts.
"No," she said simply.
"Oh come now, what's it like in Australia this time of year?"
"Better than here," she said coldly. Mr Turada seemed taken a back but ploughed on.
"Well, did you do any sport?"
"Stupid question."
"She's got a point there sir, they clean swept the Pan Pacific swimming championships," Ray said from his spot on the floor of the gym.
"Oh yes, I remember that," he said with an after thought. "Anyway let's get to work. Gymnastics." There was a groan from several of the boys and a cheer from the small contingent of girls.
"Why today?" groaned Tyson; the dark blue haired boy, lying on the floor.
"Because it's your first day back, naturally. We'll start with basic cart wheels first," said walking to the mats he'd set out on the floor. "Who's first?"
"We'll go first sir!" Sammie exclaimed from the group of bleached blondes. They stood up and walked to the mats. Each one completed a perfect set of cart wheels.
"Well, that's practically all the girls through, Tia go ahead," he said motioning for Tia. She sighed and got to her feet, walking to the mats.
"Come on Tia," called Sammie from the other side. Tia groaned and did a perfect set of Cart wheels, not stopping unlike the cheerleaders. The girls looked shock, and the boys didn't look much better.
"Very nice Tia!" Mr Turada said clapping. Tia rolled her eyes and sat back down.
"Show us some advanced skills!" the boy with two toned blue hair, Kai, shouted.
"You first," said Mr Turada smugly.
"Go on Kai, I will if you will," Ray said hitting him on the back.
"Fine," he growled and got to his feet. He took a run up and somersaulted, twisted and cart wheeled to the other end. The class clapped and hooted.
"Now Ray," Mr Turada said writing something in his folder. Ray took a run up and cart wheeled before hand springing and flipping. He then rolled and stood up on his landing. There were more shouts and claps.
"Ok, now girls," Ray said bowing to the ladies. Sammie giggled and swooned to him before hurrying down the other end. The other girls sat down, apparently unable to match her skill. Tia however rolled her eyes and joined her down the other end. Kai and Ray looked at each with raised eye brows.
"You reckon she knows what she's doing?" Tala asked as he and Johnny appeared beside them.
"Dunno," Ray replied. Kai folded his arms and watched as Sammie performed a routine she did for the cheerleaders. The other cheerleaders shouted for her as she finished with splits.
"Tia, would you like to have a go?" Mr Turada asked his tone slightly nervous. She ignored him and stepped a run up out, she was no longer on the mats by at least ten metres. "Are you sure-"
"Relax." She took a five step run up and started her routine off the mats. She flipped, hand springed, tucked, landed and then rolled before standing up and twist somersaulting. She then back flipped four times back rolled and ended in a handstand that she held for one minute before standing on her feet.
The whole Gym was quiet until Mr Turada began to clap. The class joined in except Sammie who looked furious.
"Nicely done Tia, I see the Australian sport really is some of the best." Mr Turada began the class on some Gymnastics exercises.
At the end of the class Tia re emerged from the change room, Kai, Ray, Johnny and Tala watched her as she walked out of the Gym and headed for the Café.
"She is totally weird," Tala said making a mental gesture with his hand.
"Yeah, but I am so glad she put Sammie in her place, I have never seen her fume like that," Ray said with a laugh, heading for the senior study.
"Doesn't she get the point that you already have a girl?" Tala asked smugly, watching as Sammie ran over to them.
"Oh Ray, isn't that new girl a total loser? She so thinks she's so good but she's not," Sammie said clinging to his arm.
"Actually I thought she was quite good. She certainly performed better than you," Johnny replied and they laughed, leaving Sammie looking dumbfounded. They walked into the senior study and were greeted by the rest of the year.
"Hey guys, so what was Tia like?" a boy wearing a baseball cap asked smugly.
"What? You all ready to sink your claws into her Michael?" Ray said sitting down next to a blonde haired Italian who had his arm around yet another bleached blonde.
"Well, she looks good enough," Michael retorted.
"She totally looks like a grunge fest," the blonde said from beside Enrique.
"You think so Gloria? I like her style," said another girl with black hair from across the lounge area.
"I'm with Nanasi," her friend said nodding.
"Who cares," said Oliver walking in with Max. They were both carrying plates full of freshly prepared meals.
"Ho yeah!" exclaimed Tyson jumping up as Max walked over and handed him one.
"What did you blow up this time?" asked Kai snidely as Oliver gave one of his to Robert.
"Your Viper, sorry dude," said Oliver with a cheeky grin. Kai growled and then turned his attention to a girl hanging off his arm.
"Would you two get a room?" exclaimed Bryan. Kai gave him the finger and continued.
"That has got to be the grossest thing I've seen at this school so far," a voice said from the door. Tia had just walked in and sat next to Oliver.
"Did you have fun in SLR?" he asked watching her sneer at Kai.
"No, I see you had fun in Food tech though," she said motioning towards his highly decorated plate.
"Want to try some? Its sushi," he replied handing her one. She shook her head.
"I do to raw food prefer cooked food, although I don't mind sushi but I'm not in the mood for sushi today," she replied opening her salad.
"So Tia isn't it?" the black haired girl began sitting across from her. "What does your dad do in the RAAF?"
"Who are you?"
"Oh, sorry, very rude of me. My names Nanasi," she replied.
"He's a mechanic and pilot," she replied coldly.
"Hey cwool does ge fwy fwighter jets?" asked Tyson with his mouth full of food.
"Tyson!"
"Yeah, so what?" she replied
"Just wondering, what have you got next?" Nanasi asked.
"Art," she replied.
Kai was in her next class, along with Oliver and Nanasi. Tala was also in the class but had to go home early.
"Tia Shenohi isn't it?" their teacher, Mr Longreach, asked politely as she walked in with Oliver. Her face remained expressionless as she looked at him with a steely glare.
"Yeah."
"We're working on art pieces on indigenous culture," he replied handing her a book on Australia art work. She looked at it blankly. "You'll need this."
"I don't think so," she replied and walked to a seat next to Oliver who had taken out his to continue. She opened her art book, where several scrawls were already visible and opened to a new page.
"Don't you think you should have one of those as a guide?" Oliver asked pointing to his book that was open to a picture of a wall painting.
"I don't think I lived in Australia for fourteen years to learn nothing," she replied beginning to draw.
By the end of the lesson she had finished a picture she'd drawn many times.
"What a piece of art!" Mr Longreach said taking the sheet she handed to him. "Where did you learn to draw like that?"
"I've lived in Australia for fourteen years."
"I see, what does this depict?"
"Contrast of evil and good, the city verses the rugged outback, destruction verse beauty." Everyone was listening to the pair and looking at her drawing of lines and dots that shaped two very different scenes that collided to form an amazing picture. She returned to her seat until the bell went and then left with Oliver.
"I really liked your drawing," said Oliver as they walked into their English class room. Both were in the advanced class so most of her class mates Tia didn't know.
"That's Robert," Oliver said pointing out the purple haired boy who was leaning back on his chair. "He's English."
"Ah ha," she replied in a bored tone.
"That's Kenny, or The Chief. Really smart kid never goes any where without his lap top," he said nodding towards the sandy haired boy who had spoken to her earlier in the day.
"I see."
"That's Bryan, he's actually smarter than he looks," he said pointing to another boy moving to sit next to Robert. He was dressed like Kai and Tala, a baggy shirt and baggy pants, all fashionable of course, but not in Tia's book.
"Anyone else?" Tia asked in disinterest.
"Yeah, Emily and Hilary. They're both know it alls, but they're usually pretty nice."
"Right, I'll avoid them then shall I?" Oliver laughed nervously until their English teacher entered.
Tia's last lesson was science, again with Oliver but also Kai, Hilary, Emily, Robert, Johnny, Ray and the cheerleaders and a few Jocks.
"Another boring science lesson," moaned Sammie to Ray.
"Barbie, shut it before I do it for you," Tia sneered from her position slumped in her chair. Sammie looked furious but didn't say anything as the teacher walked in.
"Tia? You're father said you need to drive to the RAAF base to pick up your RAAF pass after school," the teacher said singling her out as she picked up her chalk. "He also mentioned something about flight sim and jet training. I don't know."
Tia sat up sharply at this.
"Flight Sim?" she said to herself.
"What's up?" Oliver asked.
"Hm? Oh nothing," she replied and slumped back in her chair as the teacher droned on and on about the combining nature of the metals.
At the end of the day Kai, Ray, Bryan, Raein; Kai's tonsil hockey partner and Michael walked out to the student car park where they met up with Enrique and his blonde, Lee, Gary, Kevin, Robert and Nanasi.
"How's the Viper going?" asked Gary looking over the black sports car.
"I just put in my new head deck," Kai replied opening it and putting in his Meteora CD.
"Nice," Gary replied. The others all crowded around and chatted as the school emptied. Tia soon walked out, Oliver behind her.
"I'll see you tomorrow Tia!" he shouted as she made her way to a corner of the car park. She waved her hand in response but didn't turn around as he headed for the others.
"You cannot tell me that girl is not weird," Bryan said sitting on his car. They heard an engine rev.
"What is that? I have never heard an engine sound that powerful before," said Lee looking around as he stood up from Gary's car. A green car that no one had ever seen before sped past them, its engine loud, roaring like a lion.
"Did you see who was driving it?" Michael asked as they shielded their eyes from the dust.
"I did," Nanasi spoke up from her seat in Gary's car. "It was Tia, the new girl."
"What kind of car was that?" Kevin exclaimed as they still heard it tearing down the street.
"I don't know, I've never seen one before," Nanasi replied, who was a bit of a petrol head.
"Who cares, let's get out of here," Gary said climbing into his WRX.
"I'm up for that!" Johnny shouted getting onto his bike. They all careened out of the car park. ``````
Please review me and let me know whether I should keep going. I'm thinking this is going to definitely go into a higher rating, so listen up okay.
