High School Adolescence Ch 1

The freshmen gathered in the gym to get their new schedules and their locker numbers. The Guidance councilor gave a brief speech about how good the year would be if everyone just followed the rules. One by one he called out their names and each one went up to him and picked up their schedules.

The locker numbers were written in the top right hand corner of each schedule reminding them that while they were in high school now they still were still treated as junior high kids would be. Some groaned out loud because of it and others just rolled their eyes.

Once the schedules had been handed out and everyone was seated again the Guidance councilor told everyone to follow him to their new locker designation. Everyone stood and began to follow single file until they reached the hall and then they swarmed in groups again.

The halls were wide and the one they were currently in opened up to an octagon shaped room. Lockers adorned the walls on all but two. Those were the doorways one of which they had just come through and the other to which they were walking through now. The lockers in this section were huge. They were tall and wide enough to fit a person inside.

Above the lockers were banners that read Seniors Rule. That explained why the lockers were so big. The seniors got special privileges therefore they got the biggest lockers and the side parking lot and probably their own island in the cafeteria. They exited that section and walked down a short hall and into another locker section. This one was square.

Two of the walls held lockers top and bottom. The back wall was an exit to the outside and the other one was the door they had just come through. They would have to walk through the seniors' locker section every day to get to their own lockers. Oh the humiliation of having to pass by the kids who thought they owned the school.

The Guidance Councilor told everyone to find their lockers and tape their schedule to the inside of the door. Once they finished with that they put their bags in their lockers and turned to face the Councilor. Three juniors' stood by to give the freshmen a tour of the school and they followed them back out of the locker area.

The juniors took them to the Library, Cafeteria, Office and the Commons lounge. They showed them where each of the classes were located and gave them a rundown on the teacher's again. They were each given a sheet of paper with a map on it in case they got lost. The school was pretty good sized and required a little bit of knowledge so one wouldn't get lost.

They took them out to the courtyard where most of the kids ate or did their homework for study hall or spent free periods. Then they were taken back inside to their lockers and told to go to the Library where they would be given all of their textbooks for the year. They all filed into the Library and took their seats.

The Librarian ran down a quick list of things they would need to know about Library use and conduct. She then began handing out the books and told them to have them covered by the end of the week. They all headed back once again to their lockers to put away their things and head to their first actual class of the day.

Konan looked at her schedule and smiled. She had Spanish. She had never loved a class more. So she might have been a little on the nerdy side but she couldn't help it. She took her book and headed to that class. About three other freshmen followed her to the class. The teacher brought them in and introduced them to the class and gave them their seats.

As luck would have it she was seated next to boy who had orange hair and Piercings in his nose, lip, chin and ears. He was one of the seniors she had seen by his car and her heart raced. She was going to love this year. She smiled shyly at him and he smirked. She turned her head away as the blush crept up. 'Keep it together Konan.' She scolded herself.

Itachi had Advanced Algebra. He was a genius in his own right and so he was placed in all of the special classes for advanced students. He walked into the class, the only freshmen and gave the teacher his slip. She introduced him to the class and gave him a seat. He sat down next to a kid with Blue skin and blue hair and scars on his cheeks that looked sort of like gills. The kid however looked badass so Itachi was sure no one ever gave him any shit.

He had seen this kid outside in the senior parking lot laughing with his friends. So the guy was a senior and Itachi was a mere freshmen. Itachi boasted with pride mentally that he was as smart as these older kids. The blue skinned kid looked at Itachi and smirked. Itachi looked away from him and focused on his book in front of him and what the teacher was saying.

Deidara had art and he was in heaven. He had never seen an art room so big before. He was introduced to the class and told to sit at a table next to a red head. He took his seat and noticed that the moody red head next to him was from the senior parking lot that morning. Deidara smiled at the red head regardless and the red head glared back.

Deidara shrugged and focused on the teachers instructions. He was in art he didn't care who glared at him. The red head opened up his sketch book and began doodling as the teacher explained the differences between different types of art. Deidara slid a glance every now and then over to Sasori's sketch book and noticed his drawing was of a scorpion. He was very good at drawing too.

Tobi had English and was sitting next to a boy who had two different colored skin and green hair. He wanted to crawl under his desk after the teacher introduced him to the class and he was told to sit next to Zetsu who raised his hand for him to see him. Tobi was scared shitless to be here. In junior high he had been with his friends all the time and now his friends were all in different classes. He was alone and ready to go home.

Zetsu looked over at the boy and smiled. Tobi smiled sheepishly back. Zetsu leaned over and whispered. "Relax you will be fine once you get the hang of it." He sat back up and finished writing something on his paper. Tobi smiled a little and nodded. He was still on the verge of having a panic attack and all he wanted was to run to the bathroom and throw up.

Hidan had Advanced Chem. He hated it with a passion but here he was. He was seated next to a guy with brown hair and scars on his arms and neck and his face. The guy was a senior and Hidan had already seen him in the senior parking lot. The guy was cold and very anti social. Hidan hadn't talked to him but he was sure the guy would turn around and kill him for saying boo to him.

Hidan sighed and sat back in his seat. He was already in hell. Jashin could have saved him the trouble and just collected him already. The teacher droned on about things that made him want to fall asleep and when his eyes fluttered shut a jarring motion about knocked him out of his seat. He looked up to see the scarred guy watching him and it took a moment for him to realize the guy had shoved him awake. He glared and the guy glared back. This was going to be a great year.
