HEY EVERYONE! At least, everyone who is reading this!
I started a new story, its the same in a lot of ways but its going to be very different also. In my opinion it will be written much better. I hope you will all like it, but feel free to read the other previous story, its still there but is before this one. That one will have the general story of what i hope to do with this one, but this one is going to have more content and whatnot. Look forward to it~! ^_^
Chapter 1. The meeting...
Teacher: "Come on inside."
The teacher said, and I ran a hand through my black hair before opening the door to see my new class. Most of the chairs inside were full, only a couple were empty. One by the windows on the far side and the other closer to the middle.
Hi, my name is Taren Skie, and I'm 17 years old. Random fact of the day: my eyes are green. Not that you need to know that at all...
Me and my sister Rachel had moved from our old house in another town to this one. About a year ago my parents died in a car crash, and since then Rachel has kept us afloat with money she gets from being in a band. However, we had gotten sick walking the same halls as our deceased loved ones at the old house. So, we started saving up money to move, and now we finally had a little less than a year later.
I'm not very good being in front of large crowds, especially when I'm the center of attention. Luckily, while I do stutter sometimes, generally I make it out alright.
Teacher: "This is Taren Skie, I hope you will all make him feel welcome!"
Next he turned to me, and I began hoping that my outfit actually DID look good and Rachel wasn't just lying.
Teacher: "Let's see... You can sit by Kyo Sohma, right there."
The teacher pointed to the seat right in the middle, by a kid with orange hair. Kyo was staring off into space while leaning on his arm, head angled awy from me and towards the windows. As I passed him and sat down he simply glanced my way and then kept staring into empty space. Was he the delinquent type of kid?
Teacher: "Time to get started, you can chitchat with Taren later."
And then we were doing notes. Class wore on pretty slow at first, but it was english so I enjoyed it somewhat. About halfway through the lesson my eyes began to wander around the room, skimming over all the kids. As they reached Kyo I realized that he was simply doodling on a piece of paper.
At first I couldn't really make out what he was drawing, but then he moved his arm. The name Tohru was spread all over the paper, many with hearts surrounding them. As if on cue, he looked over at me. For a few seconds we just stared at one another, but then he blushed and started to glare. Immeidately my only focus became the front board, but I could still feel his hot stare on my side. Now I didn't want class to end, but time moved faster ironically.
Right as class ended I grabbed my stuff and bolted, sure that Kyo was going to come after me. I got near to the door and could smell victory!- BAM! I collided with something, and fell to the ground. My stuff scattered onto the floor all around me, and so did a lot of stuff that wasn't mine.
Tohru: "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!"
Said a girl on the floor right by me. I peered over, still stunned, and saw someone with large brown eyes and long brown hair right by me.
Taren: "Ya..."
I said at first.
Taren: "I mean, no! I should have looked where I was going."
Well this was one way to meet someone. She smiled, and then another person was there helping her up.
Tohru: "Oh, Yuki, thank you."
At first I was expecting a girl due to the name, but when i looked up it was a guy with silvery hair. Pushing myself up, the last thing i expected was rought hands to be grabbing my shirt. Crap, I had forgotten about Kyo!
Kyo: "Hey... what do you think you're doing. Did he say anything weird to you?"
He asked the girl.
Kyo: "Cuz if you did, I'm going to punch you so hard that-"
A hand clamped over his mouth, cutting him off.
Yuki: "Hm? What was that, Kyo?"
The silver haired guy ( Yuki? ) pulled him away and off to the side.
Yuki: "Someone doesn't have any manners. Why don't I teach you some!"
Oh my word, what had I gotten myself involved in!
Tohru: "I'm sorry about that, Kyo can be such a hothead. Nice to meet you. Taren right? I'm Tohru."
At first I didn't really register the name, and then I remembered the scribbles.
Taren: "Ok, that makes more sense..."
I whispered.
Tohru: "Sorry, what did you say?"
Tohru asked.
Taren: "Oh, nothing! Anyways, sorry for running into you."
Tohru just smiled, and began to collect her stuff.
Tohru: "So, Taren, do you have any lunch plans?"
The question caught me off guard, and I faltered in leaning down to grab my stuff.
Me: "Um, not really, I guess..."
Tohru: "Great! Why don't you come eat lunch with me!"
This suprised me even more, and I dropped a notebook.
Me: "I-I don't know... I guess?"
Tohru smiled wide, giving my notebook to me as she finished grabbing her stuff.
Tohru: "Awesome! We'll have lots of fun! I'll see you then!"
She walked off, and I began hoping I had made a good choice.
