OMG!!! I'm really liking this new face that we have here at this site. I haven't logged in for a while so I was pretty surpised. It's very 'Mac-ish' to me. lolz. ANYWAY.......As you can see, I have a new story up!! I decided I might as well start a new DOA story to follow up with 'Summer Time Romances' since I really can't get to that story for what will probably be another couple months. I kept telling myself to copy/send it to myself, but I never got around to it, but it is still going to be continued so please do not give up on that story.
Also...I've been pretty busy with school and all and being a senior going off to college next year isn't making it any easier!!! :) But I'm not stressing though because I know that it'll benefit me in the long run. I'm going to SCU and majoring in teaching. I also have a job lined up as a TA. I'm pretty nervous...I've never been that far from home without anyone I don't know. I'm pretty sure South Carolina is A LOT different than New Jersey, but I'm prepared to make the change!!! :)))
So now I leave you here to the story, so enjoy and don't forget to comment and tell your friends!!!!
Chapter 1: First Day
DOATEC High-Courtyard
SUMMERS IS FINALLY……over. School is, unfortunately starting all over again as we join our beloved group of students, also seemingly reluctant to go back and sit in a tiny desk for seven hours. The teens sat on a nice grassy spot in front of the main doors of the school, sharing stories about the last 2 weeks of summer that they haven't been around each other for.
"I just can't believe school started so early this year. I was really enjoying myself this season." Kasumi stated.
Everyone sitting around nodded their hands in agreement.
"Seriously, I just wanted to at least chill for a week in my new apartment without having to worry about any schoolwork." Jann added.
"Dude, when did you get an apartment?" Zack inquired.
"Just last week. Why?"
"Party at Jann's this weekend!" Brad yelled.
"Yea right. If you want to have a party, throw it at your house." Jann retorted.
"BRRRRRIIINNNNGGG!!!!!!" Goes the first school bell of the year. It always seems as if these bells remind the innocent students of the coming of Judgment Day…by the teachers of course.
The group moaned and groaned as they picked themselves up, along with their random things as they made their way towards the glass double doors of DOATEC Senior High.
"7:35, here we go! Its senior year guys! Let's all be happy." Kasumi chirped.
"Goodness, could you be anymore cheery?" Christie came up from behind and gave Kasumi a cold look.
Christie was still the same as before…not so easy to get along with. She gave everyone a once over with her stormy gray eyes while she shifted her weight from one foot to the other.
"It's so cute how you're all so chummy and everything. I wish I could be more like you, I really do, but I just don't seem to have the time while being realistic in my expectations of people." Christie said.
No one knew what to say and just stared at Christie, giving her a questioning look.
"Well, it's been very nice talking to you and everything, but we have to get to homeroom. Don't want to be late on the first day. Bye!" Kokoro pushed everyone in the building.
Christie removed her sunglasses, gave a little scoff, and slowly followed behind the group. Students were already running rapid about the place, trying to find their classes and meet up with friends that they haven't seen in what seems like forever, talking loudly and laughing about things.
Christie gave one more once over before she walked the stairs to her homeroom. "This school…it shall be interesting this year."
Room 243
Hitomi found her way to her homeroom and found a random seat to sit in. She chooses to get one by the window and sat down.
"Hello lady!"
Hitomi turned around to see who exactly was calling out to her. Her eyes came in contact with a face, drowned in blonde hair. She could also spot a pair of mesmerizing blue-green eyes.
"Eliot! Oh my gosh, I missed you! How was England?" Hitomi tightly hugged the blonde boy.
"It was pretty fun. I met some really cool new people over there, met some of my distant relatives and just chilled." Eliot smiled.
"Sounds like you had a good time. So…what classes do you have this year?" Hitomi took her schedule out of her pocket.
"Trade?" Eliot proposed, exchanging papers.

"Hey, at least we have lunch and gym together." Hitomi smiled.
"I can't be anything without my Hitomi!" Eliot laughed.
"What would you do without me?" Hitomi joked.
"Good morning class!" Some random teacher exclaimed. "Let me be the first to officially welcome you all back to school."
Hitomi and Eliot rolled their eyes and took a seat.
The teacher went on. "You should all be excited. You're seniors now, all grown up. This is your year. Enjoy it while you can because Lord knows it goes by in the blink of an eye…"
Hallway-Leifang's Locker
"We haven't even been here for an hour and you've already tricked out your locker." Jann wrapped his arms around Lei's waist.
"Well don't you look sexy today? Love that V-neck on you. Where'd you get it?" Leifang kissed Jann on the lips.
"I'm not really sure. Some girl bought it for me. You've probably seen her. Long brown hair, full lips, tight body, and looks really good in this one red dress she has…" Jann spoke.
"Well what are you doing talking to me? She sounds like a pretty hot girl." Lei giggled.
"You have no idea." Jann returned a passionate kiss. "We're still on for tonight, right?"
"Of course. I made sure I had no dinners to attend tonight or anything. I still have to find the perfect pair of shoes to go with this dress that I ordered last week. It's supposed to get to my house later this morning." "Oh, and I've got a little surprise for you too." Leifang whispered
"Oh? Please do tell." Jann smiled.
"No no no. You'll have to wait until tonight to see." Leifang hugged him. "I see you've working on your butt. Nice and tight. See ya."
"Bye babe." Jann waved.
"Yea, totally Jann. Nice and tight."
Jann turns around to see Ryu leaning on the lockers, laughing to himself.
"You know you want it." Jann joked.
"I'm an open book…" Ryu shrugged. "What's up man? I haven't talked to you all summer. What's new?"
"Not that much man. Just been hanging out, gettin' bashed by Lei …and I finally got my own place." Jann answered.
"Congratulations. Now you don't have anyone telling you what to do." Ryu laughed.
"You and Kasumi should stay over this weekend. Lei and I have this movie thing we always do. She's been waiting for you to come back so she can invite the both of you." Jann explained.
"Oh for sure, I'll give her a head's up." Ryu shook Jann's hand.
The bell for the first class sounds off as students rush out into the hallways. Jann and Ryu say their goodbyes and go on their way to the first scheduled class of the new school year.
Room 401-AP Bio
Kokoro was one of the first students in her first period class to make it there before the bell rung for the period to begin. She grabbed a seat next to the door, in case of an emergency. She glanced over the board with the words 'Welcome Back Students' scribbled across it in lovely cursive handwriting.
"Hmm. I must have a female teacher." Kokoro said to herself.
"I beg to differ…"
Kokoro turned to the right and found herself staring perfection right in the face. This man was so beautiful. A head of dark, wavy hair, piercing green eyes, the whitest, straightest teeth, and glowing, exotic tan skin. Kokoro felt her heart jump out into her throat and onto the floor. He looked like he'd just stepped out of a D&G ad. A black button down shirt, black pleaded pants, and matching snakeskin boots. By the time he'd finished smiling at Kokoro and walked up to his desk, the rest of the class started to file in. Kokoro shifted her body back to the front of the room while the teacher greeted the students.
"Good morning students, please find an available seat so we can start this year off right."
Students whooped and hollered while Kokoro smiled to herself.
"Settle down now people. My name is Mr. Alvarez, and I'll be your biology teacher for the next 180 days." Mr. A. smiled.
Kokoro rested her head on her hand while she stared into Mr. A's eyes dreamily.
"Now I'm not like most other teachers in this school; for one: I'm young." The class lightly chuckled at the comment, "two: I'm not into the whole seating chart thing, so I hope you like where you sit because you'll be there for the whole marking period, and three: I like to have fun; there will never be a dull moment in this classroom, I promise, especially when we start dissecting." Mr. A. laughed. "Here's a syllabus about what we'll be doing for the year. Please read over it tonight and get it signed by your parents for homework credits tomorrow. Easy grade people."
As Mr. A passed out the papers to each row, Kokoro, being the only one in her row, grabbed a sheet personally from the teacher, briefly touching his hand.
'His skin is so soft.'
"Well, I guess that's all I have to say about that. You'll get your textbooks tomorrow and I guess we can get started on Friday. As of right now, just relax and talk amongst yourselves, quietly." Mr. A. sat down at his desk.
Room 307-Calculous
The teacher, Mrs. Bentley had just finished explaining the rules of the class and handing out the supplies list. Helena sat in the back corner of the classroom, subconsciously playing with her blonde tresses while the other students conversed lightly around her. She pulled a compact out of her white Louis Vuitton and gently reapplied some shimmer gloss to her pouty lips. Helena stared at the clock in the front of the room, waiting for the minute hand to move pass the big black '3'.
'Goodness, this class is taking forever.'
She gave her French manicure a once over, checking for any imperfections.
"None to speak of whatsoever. Perfect as always." Helena said to herself. "Excuse me?" She raised her hand.
"Yes, Ms. Douglas?" Mrs. Bentley acknowledged.
Helena got up out of her seat and traversed her way to the to the teachers desk. "May I please use the bathroom…I'm having some womanly issues." She whispered.
Mrs. Bentley gave a light chuckle and wrote out a hall pass. "I completely understand."
"Thank you."
Helena took the pass and half-skipped, half-ran out of the classroom.
Hallway
"Glad that worked." Helena smiled.
She quietly closed the door behind her and started on her way until she was abruptly stopped by an incoming force. Helena lost her footing and felt her body rushing downward towards the cold linoleum floor until someone grabbed her by the waist.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Leon apologized.
Helena regained her balance and stood herself upright to look Leon in the face.
"It's fine, simple mistake. Apology accepted." Helena smiled.
Leon knelt down to collect Helena's purse and the various things that fell out of it.
"So how was your summer?" Leon asked.
Helena smiled again. "It was alright. I went back to France to see some family, spent some time on the Riviera in Nice. I had a good time. And yourself?"
"I went back Europe too…"
"Italy, right?"
"Yea. I helped build an orphanage along with my cousins for a couple of weeks. It made me feel really good. Plus, I got a free workout and didn't have to hit the gym for most of the summer." Leon laughed.
"That's wonderful. You really gave those unfortunate children something to be thankful for." Helena smiled.
Leon felt his face burning up and he knew that he was blushing, but he didn't care.
"So I guess I'll be seeing you around then?" Helena asked.
"I guess so." Leon felt his voice crack a little in his response.
"Ok then. Well, I better start heading to my next class since I'm already out here. As they say in Italy, 'Ciao!'" Helena laughed and walked off.
"Wait!" Leon called after her.
Helena turned around with a questioning look on her face. "Yes?"
"Forgetting something?" Leon held up Helena's bag.
She walked back over quickly and stared into his eyes. "Thanks."
I hope you liked what you have read so far. I know there are a little imperfections within the story but I just started writing without thinking about it all but I hope you still liked it. Well for now all I can say is STAY TUNED!!! Chapter 2 is all ready in the works and you could probably expect to be seeing it later this week.
P.S.-If anyone that reads this is from SC, can you tell me a little what it's like? I've been there before, well not really, only just drove through it, but can you give a little insight as to what it's like?
And also everyone cross your fingers for me!!!!! :P I applied for a job at Express last night and I really want this job, so I'm praying to God every night that I'll get hired. Thank You!!!!
