Chapter 3: Careful, it Might get Stuck
After the nuisance of introducing herself to her classmates who were probably not listening begin with, Isis walked over to the empty desk in front of Terry.
"Told you he would make you do that," sniggered Terry.
"Ha ha you're a genius Mcginnis because it clearly wasn't obvious to anyone below your IQ level," Isis retorted while starting her computer up. As the teacher continued to ramble on about a completely boring topic, Isis' computer dinged signaling that she had an IM. Cursing her cat instincts of curiosity, she clicked on the IM icon.
"Snooze fest of a class don't you agree?" was the message from none other than Terry.
"You do realize that we could get busted big time for this. And I truly do not wish to be in trouble on the first day. I have plans after school," Isis typed back.
"What sort of plans?" Terry replied
"None of your concern Mr. Nosey, =P" Isis typed back while trying not to laugh.
" –pouts- So not schway Isis, I was only curious," Terry sent back. When Isis turned around to see if he really was pouting, she had to put a hand to her mouth to prevent herself from bursting out laughing at the funny face Terry was making.
"Be careful Terry, your face might get stuck that way," she sent while stifling her giggles at the mental image.
"That's only a rumor…right?" Terry IMed back.
"Maybe," was the short reply before the bell for the end of class rang.
"Please tell me you were kidding with that last comment Isis," Terry said as the two of them left the classroom and headed towards their next class.
"Now why on earth would I do that? Making people paranoid is one of my favorite hobbies!" Isis exclaimed while giggling.
"Oh come on Isis you …" Terry started but was interrupted by a female voice calling his name. "Oh hey Max what's up?" Terry asked the new arrival.
"Not much just trying to figure out how to survive the next class. I can't wait for lunch. Oh hey! Sorry I didn't see you there, Maxine Gibson, but you can call me Max," Max said while extending a hand to Isis.
"Isis Kyle, it's nice to meet you Max," Isis said with a wide smile.
"Isis is going to be joining us for lunch," Terry stated while smiling.
"Schway. Hopefully you can survive class though," Max said while giggling.
"Oh I should be fine, I have Terry in all of my classes and I'm sure he's a good entertainment source," Isis said while smirking at Terry.
"Ouch, all of your classes are with him? I'm sorry girl, that's going to be rough," Max said in a false sympathetic tone.
"Hey I am here you know," Terry said with a huff.
"Oh stop pouting Terry, it doesn't suit you," Isis said while pinching his cheek and laughing.
"Hardy har har, you're sooo funny Isis, I almost forgot to laugh. But we should get going, teach is a pain and hates people who are tardy," Terry said while walking down the hall at a lax pace, "See ya at lunch Max! And hurry up or I'm going to leave you Isis!" He shouted.
"Nice meeting you Max, see you at lunch!" Isis yelled as she ran towards Terry and jumping on his back.
"That girl has a lot of energy," Max said to herself while heading in the opposite direction.
Chapter 4: What Part of Heck no don't you get?
Finally it was lunch time, and Max spotted Terry and Isis, who looked like she was trying to get something from him. Shaking her head, Max headed over to the over-active two.
"Terry, what did you do to Isis?" Max inquired while cocking her head and watching Isis try to reach what looked like a phone from Terry's lifted hand.
"Me? I didn't do anything. I simply took a picture of Isis staring off into space with a silly look on her face," Terry replied while switching his cell phone from hand to hand just to annoy Isis. After awhile, Isis grew tired of the "game" and used her spliced genetics to her advantage; she crouched down to the ground and sprung up to successfully nabbed Terry's cell phone.
"Whoa! How did you do that?" Both Terry and Max said while Isis was smoothing her black skirt down.
"Easily, I just did," she replied while heading towards the lunch line. "Stupid! Let's just show off your splicing! You finally make friends and you possibly ruined it!" Isis berated herself in her head while clenching her fists at her sides. After getting what the school considered food, Isis headed towards the table that Terry and Max were sitting at. But of course, not everything goes to her plan, as she was intercepted by none other than Nash.
"Hey. New here?" he asked trying to act cool.
"Gee, what was your first clue, the fact that I don't look like anyone here in this school?" Isis said while she glared at Nash.
"Oh come on there's no need to be like that. Besides, I'm the one you want to be hanging out with, not that loser Mcginnis," He said while jabbing his thumb in Terry's direction. At his tone concerning Terry, Isis began to growl in the back of her throat like a annoyed cat (which she technically is).
"Look here jock, I have no interest in your type and I never will, so move out of my way. And if you insult my friends again, I won't be able to control my actions," Isis said with a snarl. As she attempted to storm off, Nash grabbed her arm. Now most people know that you need to leave a annoyed cat alone, but clearly, Nash did not.
"Mcginnis is a loser and there's no way around it. Now you need to come over here and hang out with me and my friends," Nash said in his best commanding tone. At that instant Terry stood up and began walking towards the two, but stopped when Isis gave him a smile and he saw the glint in her unusual amber eyes.
"I suggest you let me go, before you get embarrassed," Isis said while holding her lunch tray in her unoccupied hand.
"Like you could do anything in such a short skirt girly," He said in a smug voice. He soon realized that "girly" wasn't the right word, as Isis swung around and slammed her lunch tray in his face and he fell back on to the ground.
"Well apparently I just proved you wrong," Isis said while bending forward to look him in the face, "And the next time I won't be as nice," She said while closing her eyes and smiling widely. And with that said she walked over to Terry who was trying not laugh, though Max didn't seem to have that problem as she was clutching her sides laughing.
"What a way to make a first impression girl," Max said while Isis and Terry walked over.
"Yeah well I hate jerks and that's what he was being, so I just taught him that I'm not going to tolerate it, simple as that," Isis said while sitting down, "Besides the school food looked like it was moving and that just freaked me out," she said while pulling a disgusted look.
"Yeah I suggest bringing your lunch next time," Max said while munching on her home made sandwich, "Do you want the other half?" Max offered to Isis.
"Thanks Max," Isis said while taking the sandwich, "That's one of the things I need to do after school. I have to go grocery shopping," Isis said with a defeated tone.
"Don't take offense, but how are you going to pay for it?" Terry asked while looking at her.
"My parents sent me money," she replied with a bored tone, "They know I wanted to try and understand my Grandmama, so they let me move into the house," she continued.
"Wow, that's totally schway. But hey listen, if you want someone to go with you, I'm sure we can come, that is if Terry can convince his boss," Max said with a smile.
"I'm sure he won't mind me helping a friend," Terry replied, "But it's up to Isis if she wants us to tag along," Terry said.
"Sure! I'd love the company, thanks guys," Isis said with an excited tone.
"So after school we all meet up at the front. See ya then Max," Terry said while getting his stuff together for class.
"Alright, see ya guys!" Max said while walking away.
"Peace Max!" Isis hollered to the retreating girl. As both Terry and Isis walked to class, they were both unaware of the pair of black eyes glaring at them.
