Chapter one: Kisa's friend
Sara moved again and now had new friends to make. It wasn't anything new but she could tell something was going on by the time she walked in the door.
Normally, people focus on the new girl transferring in instead of someone that was already there. She saw all the girls in the classroom before the bell point to a girl with yellow hair and dark brown eyes. She's pretty in a different sort of way, she thought to herself. She later heard from classroom gossip that Kisa finally came back.
She walked past the classroom of girls (it was an all girls school) to the front of the classroom. She noticed the girl come up too. Her name was Kisa, right?
"Class, we have a new student. Please introduce yourself." The teacher asked.
"Hello. My name is Sara Rodes. It is nice to meet you."
"Welcome to Seiko Middle School Miss Rodes. Beside me is Kisa Souma. You are going to be setting to the right of her. I hope you can be great friends."
"If she can talk to you that is." Some girl with brown pigtails said. All the girls began to laugh.
"Quiet down class. As you can see, Kisa has returned from her long absence."
Kisa stepped in front of the teacher. "I'm back and I hope we can be good friends."
The class gasped. "She can talk!" What went on with this girl. Well, school will be more interesting with her around.
The bell rang, signaling lunch. I went up to a random girl and decided to talk to her. "So, what is Kisa's story? When the new girl knows her name before being introduced to the class, something's up."
"Kisa is this weird girl. Everything about her is weird. We could tell from the moment she walked in. Her orange hair and tiger eyes creep me out." I thought they were pretty, but I keep silent. "So, we made some comments about it. It was kidding around. She stood up and fought back and that pissed me off. We did what was natural for us: we ignored her. We laughed at everything she said. She began not talking. Then she didn't come to school. I even heard she ran away from home. I wonder what made her come back anyway." She shrugged it off.
That was horrible. She was basically shunned from the entire class. I don't blame her for breaking down. I would myself, but instead of not speaking, I would beat kids up. The ending would be the same. We both would leave school. I would transfer at least. What made her come back? I would never step foot in this building again if I was her.
"You think that is okay, to make fun of someone that way?" I glared at her.
"We were just having a little fun. She shouldn't have taken it personally."
"That is how it always starts. You bastards." I was tempted to punch the girl in the face but decided that wouldn't be in my best interests. I did storm down the hallway and ran straight into Kisa.
"Sorry." She muttered.
"Hey, I was just looking for you. I heard what happened."
Kisa looked down.
"I admire you for coming back. It must of took real courage to come back to school. I mean, true bravery is standing back up when you fall." I stuck out my hand. "My name is Sara Rodes."
She shook it. "Kisa Souma."
