Not like the others
Disclaimer: I don't own Descendants. I don't make any profit with this story. I am a only a fan that has too much time.
She entered the classroom and sat back in the last row. She didn't like the feeling of being watched, so she settled for the last chair. With only a wall behind her she should manage to concentrate.
She began her preparations for the class. She searched in her bag pack for her papers and pencils. She put them on the desk and waited for the other students to arrive. She knew she was too early, but her motto was to be rather too early than too late. Unlikely the other students, she hasn't got any friends that she could talk to before the classes began. She used this time to choose the best place to sit. No, she was always alone. In her first years, she tried to fit in. She really believed that if she just worked hard enough, she would be accepted. But today she realized that the world was cruel. Nobody will help you; you have to learn to help yourself. She tried to ignore the other students, but they would force themselves in her life. To just let her fall, when they feel like it. She had enough of this and decided to let them be. She didn't need anybody. She could finish her school alone.
She was a fool, to think that she would be alright just by herself.
Of course life wouldn't be that easy! Her mother forced her to interact with other students. She kind of forced the others to spend time with her. It was annoying and embarrassing. Her own mother thought she was unable to find friends, she always told her to be more confident about her. As if that would be the solution for every problem! No, confidence wasn't her strength, if she must name one, she would probably say she was kind. But kindness brings you nothing in life. Just heart break and pain.
She jumped in shock when the classroom door burst open. Two boys walked in and looked around. One of the boys saw her and approached her. Her heart hammered in her chest. Speaking isn't her favourite thing to do.
"Good morning, I am Carlos and I am quite new here. Is this Room 13b?" the boy asked her politely and showed her his schedule. She skimmed the paper before looking up.
"Y-yes, this is the right room." she blushed and focused on her pencils. The boy turned around to his friend.
"Yo, Jay, this is the right room. We are just too early!" he sniggered as his friend scowled.
"Does that mean you waked me this early for nothing? I could still be in bed? You are so dead!" he boxed the boy in his shoulder and threw his bag on the desk next to her. She tried to suppress the smile that wants to appear on her lips as the two boys continued to tease each other.
Suddenly, the chair next to her was occupied. She looked up and saw that the boy sat next to her. He had white hair and was quite small for a boy, but nevertheless taller than her.
"Well, you know my name, I think it is only fair to let me know your name." he interrupted her thoughts and she was surprised that he talked with her.
"M-my name is Jane. N-nice to meet you, Carlos." she smiled but her eyes were fixed on her fingers at the table.
"The pleasure is all mines. This is Jay, by the way." he gestured to his friend and she simply nodded.
"You don't seem to be that talkative." Jay sat on her desk and smirked at the shy girl.
Carlos shot him a glare. "Excuse his rudeness; he isn't used to be in the presence of princesses."
"Oh, I am not a princess, I just the daughter of the Fairy Godmother. Nothing more, you don't have to nice to me."
"Oh, well, what if I want to be nice to you?" Carlos winked at her before he turned his head towards the board.
Students entered the classroom and began to sit down, soon after that, the teacher entered the classroom and the lesson began. Jane didn't have time to think about Carlos.
The moment the class was dismissed, Carlos turned in his chair to talk with Jane again.
"Do you mind showing us the way to our next classroom? The castle is so freaking big and I can't afford to be late to any lessons. Our reputation is bad enough…" He smiled at her.
"I d-don't mind showing you the w-way." She smiled a bit and put her things in her bag. They left the classroom together and Carlos showed her his schedule. Jay left as well, he said he had to pick up a book, but Carlos knew he would never do that. But, the boy didn't mind at all.
"Oh, you have Biology next. It's upstairs, I have to go the same way." She handed him his schedule and smiled happily. She began to walk and he followed her. It was the first chance he had to muster her. She wore a purple dress that ended under her knees. She had short brown hair with a bow as well. She looked nothing like the other girls he saw in the castle. While they are more like the hips-swinging, giggling sort of girls his mother has warned him about, Jane was more like the nice and shy sort of girl. She didn't sway with her hips. Not that he would stare at her hips! He blushed and concentrated on her hair. It had a really nice colour. It wasn't that long and curly, like the other girls want to have. No, her hair was more like fresh cut. He thought it suited her just fine. He was convinced, Jane was different than the others.
"Can you tell me what Biology is? I don't have a clue and I don't want to be totally unprepared…"He rubbed his neck sheepishly. Something fluttered in his chest as he heard Jane giggling.
"Biology is a science that deals with living organism. For example it explains how your lungs work, or how your cells regenerate." She watched amused as Carlos's eyes get bigger.
"I didn't know we could explain our brain functions, yet!" He was so surprised that she laughed. The fluttering sensation was there again. He smiled.
They reached the classroom and he asked her to join him in the lunchbreak. She accepted and looked forward the meeting.
