Chapter 2: Second day of school
The second day of school, I came prepared. Well, I practically ran into class and sat down quickly. I let out a long sigh of relief. Good I have a seat for the morning. Taking off my jacket I had on, I put down my book and nervously started tapping the desk. I noticed two of my class mates were observing me. More like scanning. Finally the blonde one with green eyes spoke up.
"Oh my god. Are those brows for real?" he asked quietly. The girl hit him on the shoulder. I gave him a fake smile and cleared my throat. I hope these people aren't as nasty as everyone has been on the first day.
"Um, yes. Yes they are. Is that a problem?" I asked. He smiled and pulled me close almost touching his face. He took a finger and touched my brows slightly. I groaned and he quickly backed off.
"Those things are like totally cool! You look so cute with them!" well I wasn't expecting that. I blushed slightly.
"This is Feliks. He's interested in very weird things. I personally think it's because he's from Poland" the girl next to him told me. She smiled genuinely and took out her hand boldly. I shook it.
"My name is Natalia. I'm from Belarus so don't ask if I'm Russian ok?" I laughed and nodded.
"Actually, I had thought that the first day I came here! I'm Arthur by the way. Um, do you guys know where room k 14 is?" I asked slightly embarrassed. Feliks took my yellow schedule and scanned over the paper. He gave Natalia a look that caused her to smirk.
"Health Tuesday Thursday, room K 14" he clarified. I smiled.
"Hmm. I think that's in the back room. We can get you there." Natalia smiled and handed me my paper back. I thanked her and put it in my backpack.
"Yeah we can totally get you there!" Feliks agreed. I sighed in relief. I'm glad I'm starting off a little better than yesterday. After the bell rang, Feliks took my hand and Natalia pushed me from my back helping me make my way through the hoard of students in the hall way. It was like piranha frenzy. It sounded like a bunch of swarming bees fighting over honey! Soon we were outside and I followed them to a tree just before the street.
"Health, English, Oh my god! You're taking 12th grade calculus? What kind of psycho are you?" Feliks remarked checking the paper again.
"I- I like math because it's the same in every country" I replied shyly. Feliks looked at me kindly with aw in his eyes.
"That's beautiful! You need to write that down!"
I watched as both of them sat down with their legs crossed on the ground. I looked at them strangely before asking,
"Um, where is room k-14? I thought we had health."
"Oh that place burned down years ago. So we just sit out here." Natalia explained. I began feeling a strange and quick thumping in my chest. Wouldn't we get in trouble?
"But w-we're going to get in trouble! I got in trouble on the first day of school, now the second?" I cried I ran a nervous hand through my hair and started pacing back and forth. Feliks jumped up and placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Ugh. Like don't worry. We wouldn't get you into trouble!" he stated firmly.
"Yeah we're friends. Why would we want to do that?" Natalia asked as if it were obvious. Well that or I was just very hard headed. I know it's wrong to skip class. Everyone knows that. But Natalia said that we were friends so, I shouldn't get worried. And I was in no position to reject friends. And I guess I don't need to know what we were learning in class that day. It's not like I would need it. My parents taught me everything I need to know.
Health Class
A young man wearing an army suit from Switzerland stood in front of a chalk board with chalk in hand. He had light blonde hair and green-blue eyes. He was pretty tall and he had a serious looking face. The kind of face of a person you don't want to mess with. He then said in a very intimidating voice.
"Do not have sex! You will get pregnant and die! Do not have sex in missionary position, doggy style or what ever it is you freaks are doing! Just don't do it! Are you getting this Lilli?" he then asked pointing to a shy girl that looked like the younger and female version of him. She shook her head yes nervously her body shaking slightly.
"Y-yes big brother" she replied almost a whisper.
"Good! Now everybody take some rubbers! Except for you Lilli." He screamed grabbing a plastic box filled with condoms.
At the tree
"So why aren't you home-schooled anymore?" Natalia asked.
"Oh. My parents wanted me and brothers to socialize." I told them smiling. Feliks scoffed and put his hand on my knee.
"You'll socialize alright. With that body. Do you have a six pack?" I looked at him shocked at such a straight forward question.
"E-Excuse me?" I asked still shocked.
"Listen. All the guys here are bi sexual. You're not ugly so they won't hate you unless you're a homophobe. The rules here are very strange" she told me. Ok that's interesting.
"Own it!" Feliks cried. He then turned to the field and gasped.
"Oh my god! Would you look at Antonio's shorts! They're so high up I can almost see his tight ass!"
"Ugh. All the plastics are in the same gym class Feliks."
"Who are the plastics? And what are plastics anyways?" I asked dumbfounded. That word was only used in rubber things, or plastic bottles. It was never used on a human before!
"You need to know this now listen up! They're teen royalty! Everyone knows them and they know everyone. Except for you since you're like new and stuff." Feliks explained I nodded. This was actually quite interesting.
"That over there, with the brown curly hair and green eyes, that's Antonio Fernandez Carriedero. Very hot Spaniard that transferred here three years ago. He's stupider than a sack of potatoes and has an obsessive crush on this cute yet hot-tempered Italian named Lovino" I observed as Antonio ran across the field chasing a younger man with a curl on top of his head. He then tackled the poor chap and held him tight in a hug. I could hear distant, "Lovi! Lovi! Lovi!" and "get away from me bastard!" over the sound of students chattering.
"Feliks sat next to him in English last year." Natalia stated.
"He asked me if I liked Lovino, and if I did, he would hunt me down with a pick ax." He laughed. I laughed too because not only did it sound ridiculous but crazy too.
"That one, with the silver hair and red eyes, is Gilbert Beilschmidt. Also an exchange student but from Germany though he swears he's from Prussia. He's super rich because his dad has a music industry." I watched as Gilbert laughed as a girl got hit with a foot ball then held her up and started flirting with her.
"Now he's the nosiest person you'll ever meet. He knows absolutely everything about everyone!" Feliks cried.
"King of gossip. Feliks is a close second though." Feliks hit Natalia on the arm angrily.
"That's why his hair is so silver it's tinged with secrets!" he told me darkly.
"And the devil in disguise, Francis Bonnefoy. That hot guy being held up by other hot guys. You see how gold his locks are?" Feliks asked me.
"Oh! Um, yeah their very yellow." I told him watching in aw as he was gracefully put down by the 'hot guys' he blew the girls in his class kisses and winked at everyone.
"He's your typical back-stabbing, perverted French bastard, slut faced two timing jerk face." Natalia spat angrily.
"But in reality he's the queen bee. The star of the school! Mr. popular." Feliks explained. I nodded.
"Um excuse me but he's very handsome and doesn't seem that bad." I tried pointing out. Natalia scoffed.
"Francis Bonnefoy. How do I even describe him? Ask anyone and they'll tell you,
Francis Bonnefoy is flawless!
Francis is from France the country of love!
I hear his hair is worth a hundred thousand dollars!
One time, he went all the way to Japan and back just to do a car commercial.
One time he kicked my ass! It was awesome!"
"Oh so he's French?" I asked slightly disgusted. Don't get me wrong I'm not racist. I just don't like French frogs.
"He's always fierce, he's always flawless, and he's always the king of spring fling!" Feliks told me in aw. We were now walking down the halls of the school and Natalia and Feliks were still trying to explain the whole plastics thing.
"Why does it matter anyway?" Natalia asked clearly annoyed.
"Umm, because I'm in the school committee! It should matter a lot!" Feliks cried. I chuckled slightly hugging my note book tightly.
"Here. This is the map to survive school lunch. You've got everyone there." Natalia stated pointing at each table. We made it to the cafeteria and she began pointing at certain tables. One was filled with strong looking students who were playfully hitting each other and throwing food.
"You've got your jocks" I nodded in understanding.
"Asian nerds, and cool Asians" Natalia explained. The second table was filled with Asians speaking fluent Japanese and Korean. One had short black hair and calm brown eyes.
("I don't care if you're with him! I'm with him nigger") the boy said calmly. I didn't understand a word. But by the way the other male glared at him it was pretty mean.
"Unfriendly black hotties, girls who eat their feelings, anorexics, wanna- be's, the greatest people you'll ever meet, that's us by the way! And the worst. Aka the plastics. Oh and their also known as the Bad Touch Trio." Feliks explained.
Ok. Stay away from the bad touch trio. Got it. I made my way to Feliks and Natalia when I was stopped by a small blonde with purple eyes and glasses. He looked a bit shy and muttered something I didn't hear.
"Excuse me what did you say?" I asked. He played with a stray hair that stood out from his head.
"Umm, I was just, well hi. I'm Mathew Williams student council, umm and we, well I was just wondering if you could answer some questions." He managed to say without fainting. I looked to my right. Perfect. We were standing in front of the bad touch trio table. They were quietly whispering to each other as Gilbert, was it? Glared at me intently.
"Yes of course!" I nodded enthusiastically. He smiled and took out his binder but before he could say anything, a very intimidating and French voice stopped him.
"Mathew, vat is this? Comprend bien, tu parles à un con. Get away from 'im. " he told him coldly. Mathew shuddered and tried making himself look taller.
"I was just trying to ask some questions-"
"No. you weren't you blew of Gilbert yesterday and he is quite angry with you"
"Ja! I was waiting and you never showed up Birdie!" Gilbert cried. Mathew blushed and then sighed.
"I was busy with homework. Plus we're not even dating anymore-"
"Arthur. Do you want to 'ave sex with 'im?" Francis asked out of the blue. Mathew opened his mouth but no words came out it looked like he was going to puke.
" Um, no?" I said. More like asked. This was just a very awkward situation. Mathew then ran away and back to his table. I shrugged and was about to take a step forward when again, Francis began talking.
"Vait! Sit down mon ami!" I looked at Feliks and Natalia who were urging me to come to them. I looked around worriedly then sat down in front of Francis. His eyes scanned over me like an x-ray. It felt as if I was being violated. I squirmed around uncomfortably.
"Why do I not know you? Why do I not know 'im?" he asked Antonio and Gilbert. The shook their heads and gave confused looks while looking at me. So much for avoiding the Bad Touch Trio.
"I'm new here. I just moved here from Africa. I was home schooled." I told them politely. Their mouths dropped practically to the floor their eyes filled with wonder.
"But you're like not bad looking! How can this be? That's so awesome!" Gilbert shouted fist pumping the air. I gave him a confused smile.
"Um, thank you I guess."
"Hey wait. Mi amigo, if you're from Africa, why are you not black?" Antonio asked me. His voice was just beautiful. I stared in wonder at his accent.
"Ugh! Tony you do not ask why people are not black!" Francis shouted hitting him on the back of the head. The three then quickly made a mini huddle passing around words I could not hear. I turned to Feliks and Natalia who gave me estranged looks and I would just shrug. They then got closer to me, with arms resting on the table. I smiled awkwardly.
"Alright. Arthur right? We don't do this a lot."
"More like never!" Antonio cried. Francis rolled his eyes whipping his hair back fabulously.
"We want you to sit with us every day for the rest of the week." Gilbert told him as if it were some type of top secret information I couldn't say to anyone else. I nodded.
"Oh, um I couldn't really-" I began but got cut off by all three of them standing up in a synchronized fashion.
"Great. We'll see you tomorrow mon cher!" my god what have I gotten myself into.
