Chapter 1: We're Off!
I woke up to the first rays of the sun in this fall day. I got out of bed, rummaged through my closet for a fresh outfit. I found a clean tee and jeans and slipped them on. How long until our next break? It was at least a month.
With a loud sigh, I headed down the stairs to the kitchen where I smelled burnt toast. "Nice job, Vic." I retorted, looking at the two black objects that were lying on his plate.
"Mmm... just the way that I like them." he replied as he sat down on the table. I grabbed my newest Rurouni Kenshin manga from the basket on the table and plopped down in the chair next to him. "Aren't you going to eat anything? Books aren't food, you know.
"Actually, they're food for the soul. Anyway, I never eat breakfast and looking at that toast made me lose any hunger that I had."
His dark eyes sparkled mischievously. "That's my job in life." I giggled and plopped the book down into my sling bag that was wrapped around my chair. "I'm leaving for school. Don't be late." I said, getting up.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, Mom!"
I giggled and walked out the door, a cool breeze flowing through the trees, making a swirl of fall colors all around me. I smiled happily and walked the short walk to P.S. 279, my high school.
"Hey peep!" Josh called as he passed by me on his skateboard. Don't call me peep, you idiot! I let out an angry sighed but soon smiled looking at the beautiful fall scenery. I started humming a few lines of a song that was on my brain. Soon, the school came into view and I stopped humming. I walked in through the large wooden doors and saw the regular swarm of people that welcomed me to school. Welcome to school, Sophie. Where anime is a taboo and so are you.
