My Dirtied Clean Slate
Chapter 1
She walked down the sidewalk, headed for Middleton Highschool. She had dirty blonde hair, matched with bluish-grey eyes. She clenched the straps of her backpack near her sides and made note of the landmarks around her. She needed to memorize the way to school. As she got closer and closer to her destination, she started to notice other people going to the same place, but they were all in pairs. Friends walking together. 'Soon enough, soon enough...' she thought to herself.
It was her first day at Middleton High. She came as a senior from Upperton highschool after moving to Middleton with her parents, while her mom took a job there in computers. She had settled some in her neighborhood, getting used to the new parks and convenience stores, but school was a whole other story. She was completely alone. She didn't have any friends here, except for a girl she had known for years online that she knew lived in Middleton. But she didn't think she went to Middleton high, she probably went to some other highschool. She doubted she'd run in to her, and she would obviously get suspicious if she suggested meeting up somewhere, so she didn't think much of it.
As she neared the entrance to the building, she looked down at the paper in her hand. At the top read "Lation, Anya" and below was her schedule for the first semester. Her first class was Home Ec. 'Oh, joy.' She thought to herself.
She reached the front entrance and, taking a deep breath, stepped in. Looking around, she caught here eye on all of the lockers down the hallway. 'Well, that would be a good idea right now.' She thought.
Looking at her paper as she passed down the hall, she eventually found her locker. It was somewhat near the gym, wich she took note of to find it again when she needed it. Referencing her paper again, she slowly but surely twisted the nob to open her locker. Once it opened, she slipped her green backpack off her shoulders and propped it up in the locker. Hoping to personalize her locker a bit, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a picture of her and her friends at Upperton High. next to her in the picture linking arms was a blonde girl with green eyes wearing a black hoodie, with a gentle smile. On the other side of her was a tan boy with brown hair and matching eyes, trying to cover his face from the camera. He obviously hadn't acted quick enough. On the other side of her blonde friend was a boy with blue eyes and brown hair, linking arms with the other girl who obviously didn't return the favor.
Just as she was reminiscing about her friends back home, the bell rang. 'sorry guys,' she said to the picture. 'Time for Class.'
Using the infamous paper once again, she scoped out the Home Ec classroom.
Except for a few glances from other kids, the class went fine. She didn't do too badly on the in-class projects, and understood almost everything the teacher said. Her next class was science. It was pretty much the same, though a few other kids were a little far from interested in the class. The rest of her classes up to lunch were basically the same story, and she was glad that her classes were over for this half of the day. Plus, eating was one of her strong-suits, though she wasn't looking forward to her lunch very much.
She wore some basic jeans and a black tank-top. She had one rubber bracelet on her right hand with a line of skulls covering it, wich had been given to her by her best friend up in Upperton. Something to remember her by. She spun it, smiling at the thought of her friend as she walked down the hall towards the cafeteria.
She entered the cafeteria with some more astranged glances her way. One brunette girl gave her special attention, pointing and giggling with her other cheerleader friends. Anya didn't care. She knew at some point they'd give up once they got used to seeing her around the school. And if they didn't, Anya could always get back at them with any new friends she made.
She sat by herself, pulling out her dark purple lunch box. Actually, it was more of a cooler design. She didn't have any actual lunch boxes at home. As she opened it, she saw the same thing she'd had at school for years - balogna sandwich, home-made chips and a diet soda. Sha wanted to do something different this time. Something to kick off her new life a bit. So she pulled a few dollars out of her pocket and spotted a vending machine off in the corner. She stood up and headed towards it.
As she tried to place her dollar into the slot, another hand attempted at the same time. Startled, she turned to face the other person as the dollars crumpled together, then shot away.
She was red headed and about Anya's age. She smiled playfully at the situation. "Sorry," She said. She stepped back to give Anya the first go at the vending machine, then turned to Anya again. "Hey, aren't you the new girl?"
Anya slipped the dollar into the slot and pressed the button for a pack of cookies. "That's me," She said. She turned to face the girl again. "I'm Anya." She put her hand out and the other girl took it fairly quickly. She seemed like quite an outgoing person.
"I'm Kim Possible," She said with another smile.
Something in that name struck a bell in Anya's head. "Kim Possible? Where have I heard that name before?" She replied as she reached in to the slot to retrieve her cookies.
"I'm on the news sometimes. Me and my friend Ron over there -" She pointed at the blonde boy at another table. "- We're a crime-fighting team."
"Hm... I don't think that's it..." She thought for a second. Then she perked up. "I got it! I've known you for years... 'KP313', right?" She said.
Kim was surprised. Was this who she thought it was? "...AnyaL2003?" Kim said back.
"Yup." She replied. "Wow, I can't believe it's you. This is the first time we've met, and now we're going to the same school!"
"Got that right. This is so cool! You want to sit with me and Ron?" Kim pointed a thumb over her shoulder at the table.
"Yeah!" Anya said. "I just need to go get my lunch. I'll meet you there."
Kim nodded and Anya ran to the table where she had sat alone. She packed up her lunch well enough to carry over. wow, she thought. after all these years, I finally meet her. And I thought I'd never find her.
She hurried over to the table where Kim and Ron sat. "so," She said, sitting down and looking at Kim. "This is the Ron I've heard so much about?"
Ron looked up from his food, utterly confused - As Anya heard he often was.
Kim laughed. "Ron, this is Anya. She's my online friend and she just started going to school here," Kim introduced her to Ron. "You've probably seen me talking to her a few times."
Ron shook off the confusion. "Well," He started, "You haven't met Ron 'til you've met Rufus!"
From Ron's left pocket, a pink rodent skittered up onto the table. He stood on his hind legs and waved with a toothy smile, then jumped into Ron's tray. He popped back up, stuck out his tongue, then scampered back in to Ron's pocket.
"Cute." Anya said somewhat sarcastically.
"So, Anya, what brings you to Middleton?" Kim asked.
"Parents and buisiness," She said, tearing into her cookie packet. "A classic."
After a little more chatting with Kim and Ron, the bell rang. "What class do you have next?" Kim asked.
"Algebra." She replied, then rolled her eyes. "How exciting."
"That's great, so do we," Kim pointed to herself and Ron.
"Awesome." Anya stood up.
Ron spoke up. "Hey, KP and I are going to Bueno Nacho after school today. Wanna meet us there?" Ron asked. Then he taunted, "You can try a naco!"
"I'll see if I can. That'll be fun," Anya smiled. Already she had made some good friends. Maybe her luck would turn to good with this new life.
So there ya go! See, it's pretty different, how they all meet and stuff, but I personally think it's better this time around. Now I really need your reviews!
