And so it begins
In The Office
A young man is sitting on one of the chairs waiting to go inside. With short black hair almost covering eyebrows just above his green eyes and dressed in black, dark blue jeans, and navy skating shoes
"Excuse me son, you can go in now. is waiting for you" The secretary motions towards the door.
"thanks" Ugh how long is this going to take The boy whispers to himself.
"Hello, Christopher Packard is it"
"Uh yeah"
"Well im sure you will find Kadic to be a well suited school for your learning needs"
As Delmas goes on talking about the school, Chris starts to daydream.
"So I will let you go to your room to get comfortable, your suitcase and schedule should be waiting there and…..! ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION"
"huh? Yes of course" Chris responds with a jump in his seat. He gets up to leave.
"Oh before you go" leaving Chris with hesitation "What is it"
"Yes well, I have read your file and I know about the fights YOU started"
"I didn't start those!" Chris starts to get defensive
"No matter what the case was, there will be no fighting here" He looks at Chris is a sharp stare….."Is that understood young man?"
"Yes sir…..no fighting for me" Chris returns the look with a devilish grin.
"Hmm, I will be keeping my eye on you…..now then your room is on the second floor number 231" He hands the key to Chris.
"Thanks"…Chris grabs the key and his messenger bag and rushes out of the office.
...
...
After Chris leaves the office he wonders around the school just looking around. On the bright sunny day in October he leans against a wall facing the field watching the cheerleaders practice.
"Hmm I may just enjoy my time here" He throws a smile at one of the cheerleaders, she smiles back blushes and looks away.
"Yeah its going to be fun" He drifts off entertained by the image in his head.
"What are you smiling at punk" Chris looks up and notices a group of three formidable boys…..you could tell they were on the schools football team for the matching uniforms they wore
"I believe that's my business alone" Chris responses in a powerful tone
"Na you must be thinking of something you shouldn't be" the first male starts with.
"yeah what you thinking bout" the second boy adds on then laughs
"you must not be thinking bout my girl right!" the third boy finally adds
"I don't think you want to start this" Chris starts to face the boys and readies his stance.
Just as the group was about to face off they are interrupted by a great burly man, dressed in a red jumpsuit with a white headband pushing his hair up.
"What are you boys doing!" the man rushes over and pulls the boys apart.
"Nothing Jim" the three boys say in unison "We were just making friends with the new kid"
"Yeah I bet you were, run along now. don't you guys have to get to class"
"Yes Jim no problem" The three boys walk away "We'll be seeing you soon new kid" the middle one shouts when far enough away.
"Yes well Packard isn't it… I thought said no fighting from you"
"Yeah yeah…..well I got to go Jim" Chris shrugs his shoulders brushing Jims comment off and turns to walk away
"Well ok I wont tell but I don't want to see more fighting from you cause you know…." As Jim continues his rant Chris walks farther and farther away.
...
...
Chris finds his way up some stairs and onto the second floor. As he turns a corner to find his room a boy little bit shorter then him runs into Chris knocking himself down.
"Owww" the boy exclaims while picking up the scattered papers and books he dropped when he fell.
"Hey are you ok?" Chris kneels down helping the boy pick up his things
"I'm fine I just need to get to class" the boy finds his stuff and starts to walk down the hall when he stops
"Uhm I don't suppose you know where the math class is do you? The boy turns and looks at Chris
"Sorry no" Chris picks up a paper and goes to walk over to the kid when he runs" Hey wait!"
"Sorry I really have to find my class" the kid runs off down the hall and disappears around a corner. Chris looks at the paper
"So Adam, guess you forgot the number of that class is on your paper" He looks at the paper for a couple seconds before chuckling to himself and throwing the paper away and continues to walk down the hall to find his room. He walks in drops his bag and looks at the paper on his desk. It was his schedule for the year, and on the top read
"Mr. Packard, I know you don't want to go to class but I would make it in your best interest to go to all the remaining classes of the day. I'll know if you didn't. Signed Mr. Delmas"
"Huh this guy is good" Chris grabs the paper and leaves looking for his first class of the day.
...
...
As he walks around the first floor the bell rings just as he finds his class. Mrs. Hertz 11th grade science.
"This is Science 11 right" Chris moves into the room and toward the teacher
"Why you must be the new student. I am Mrs. Hertz why don't you have a seat." She motions towards the class. "Class please welcome Christopher"
The class greets him in a dull unenthusiastic way.
"Yeah…..hi" Chris looks around and only finds one open seat, one all the way in the back next to this girl. She had short pixie cut brown hair, side swept bangs, and grass green eyes. She was wearing A dark red tanktop over a white T-shirt, a black ribbon tied around her waist, and a white pleated skirt.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Chris stood there waiting for a response.
After a minute or so the girl answered "You can." She said it in such a low sweet voice that if he was talking he wouldn't be able to hear it
Chris sits down and opens one of his books. Mrs. Hertz had written enough notes down to fill his first page but Chris had no interest in the class. He was more interested in getting out of class and taking a nap. His mind was elsewhere. As the class dragged on, his eyes darted back and forth looking for something to make the time go by faster. After a couple of minutes his eyes made it to the girl sitting next to him. He didn't really notice her before, but now its really one of the only things that is keeping his attention. He reads her name off the paper
"So Destiny how long does this class usually take" he chuckles softly to himself
He gets no response from the girl
"My name's Chris"
Still no answer
Chris spends the remainder of the class trying to get the girl to talk. No matter what he tries he gets no response
"Hey look no hands" the girl turns as Chris is balancing on the two back legs of his chair. The girl laughs and smiles.
"Hey there it is." Chris smiles back as he puts his chair back to the normal position.
"So what do you think about" Chris is cut off by the sound of the bell. Everyone gets up and leaves. Destiny gets up as well and moves towards the door.
"I'll see you around" Chris tries to say as Destiny runs out of the room.
"Whoo tough crowd" Chris gathers his stuff and leaves the room.
...
...
"She wont talk" Chris turns and sees the kid who fell in the hall leaning against the wall
"Huh…oh hey Adam right?" Chris and Adam start walking down the hall
"Yeah, and about that girl. She wont talk, she doesn't talk to anyone besides teachers. And she doesn't answer them unless she's answering a question"
"Oh yeah….why is that"
"No one knows for sure but I think it has something to do with her parents"
"Weird…." Chris starts to look down wondering about the girl
The two continue walking down the hall when a girl runs behind them and grabs Adam.
"So where were you?. I thought you were going to help me in math" The girl stares at Adam.
"Uhm well I couldn't find the class and uhm…" Adam starts to trail off
"That's not a reason you promised Adam" The girl refuses to move
"Hey lay off him! It not his fault" Chris stands next to Adam and watches the girl
"I saw him before, he really didn't know where to go. So just calm down ok"
The girl is shocked by Chris' sudden appearance "Oh well I didn't mean it like that. I just thought he would be there."
"Its ok we can all stop yelling now" Adam throws his hands up and smiles
"Okeydoky Adam. So what's your name I'm Elizabeth" she turns to Chris and holds out her hand
Chris looks at her quickly she was wearing light blue jeans, a white shirt with a strawberry logo, white shoes, and a brown jacket. She had long brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin and was the same height as Adam. She was an average looking girl
"My name is Chris" he extends his hand to shake hers
"Nice to meet you Chris. Well I have to go to class bye guys." Without another word she runs back down the hall and turns a corner
"Uh bye Liz" Adam turns and starts to walk. He is soon joined by Chris
...
...
"So what do you have now?" Chris tries to break the silence
"I got gym" Adam responds. Chris looks at his schedule again
"Hey I have that too. Guess that means we have class together" Chris looks at Adam
"Yeah I guess it does. Come on that's one place I know" They arrive at the gym couple minutes after the bell
Jim greets the two and motions them over to the rest of the group "Nice of you two to join us. Your just in time"
"Just in time for what" Chris replies with heavy skepticism.
"For the tour of our facilities" Jim similes with a large grin as the class groans
"Come on Jim why do we have to" One student complains
"Because some people still don't know where everything is and Mr. Delmas wants me to make your that you do." Jim starts to led the group as the football players knock in Adam making him stumble. Before he falls Chris catches him and helps him to his feet.
"Those guys are getting on my nerves" Chris starts to follow the group
"Yeah that's Collin and his lackeys Tom and Jerry. They think just because their on the football team their so high and mighty"
The group of students and Jim continues their tour around the school when finally they make it to the athletic department
...
...
"Ah and now my favorite place" Jim holds the door as the group stumbles in
"Hope its not a gym. Looks like he hasn't seen one in ages" Chris and Adam start to laugh as they walk inside.
"Here we are" Jim motions to all the rooms "The top athletic equipment in France. No school is better equipped" Jim continues to lead to group through the department
"And here is our 30 meter swimming pool. it's a very good one. You know I was in the navy once and" Jim continues his story with the group as Adam and Chris are off to the side
"So how long does Jim usually go off on his stories" Chris leans up against a pillar while Adam is standing next to the pool "Oh it varies if no one listens he goes on longer but when" Adam is harshly interrupted when Collin comes by and pushes him into the deeper end of the pool.
"Hey why'd you do that" Chris runs past Collin and looks at the area where Adam fell,
Adam is seen coming up and down screaming "Help! I cant swim"
Chris didn't see anyone doing anything so he dives into the water and pulls Adam straight out and onto the floor. Soaking wet Adam kneels on the floor and cough's up the water he swallowed. "Thanks Chris." Adam was still on the floor.
Chris stands up brushes his wet hair out from his face and confronts Collin. "Hey answer me why did you do that! He could have died" Chris is angry now Collin tries to slip away but Chris doesn't let him leave. "I didn't hear you answer" a group starts to form around them.
"I figured it would be funny, but you know that's my business so why don't you get out of my face and back to your loser friend before I hurt you" Collin starts to leave again
"Oh that's it buddy you just got on my last nerve" Now a wet Chris tackles Collin to the ground and lays a couple of punches in. "Why don't you pick on someone who can fight back"
The two continue to fight and roll on the ground exchanging punch for punch before Jim sees the crowd and rushes over to stop it
"Hey! Hey! What's going on here" Jim grabs both of the boys by the collar and pulls them up.
"This manic attacked me out of no where" Collin starts to make a limp
"Only because he pushed my friend in the pool! He could have died!" Chris and Collin were back at each other's throats.
"Hey Hey that's enough" Jim holds them apart while he tries to find the kid who was pushed
"Uh Jim" Everyone turns to Adam "Chris is telling the truth. Collin just pushed me in the pool for no reason its him who started"
"Is that right Collin" Jim lets both of them go but keeps his eyes on Collin
"Well it might be" Collin doesn't back down
"No I don't want to hear another word, Collin three hours of detention for now, and that's without Mr. Delmas' interference. The rest of you get back to you dorms class is over" Jim takes Collin away and the crowd leaves.
...
...
"That was really cool of you Chris"
"It was nothing I mean no one was going to do anything. I had to"
"Well still thanks" The two shake hands
"Well I better go my family is going to wonder where I am"
"Ok well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then"
"Yeah later"
The two go their different ways. Chris once again finds his way to his room and lays down.
"Wow what a day. I can tell that this school is going to be interesting"
Chris puts on his music and slow drifts to sleep
Author's note: Yes i know no X.A.N.A. I want to read about XANA. I know but i felt that we needed a introduction of the characters first. Theres more but i needed to get some introduced. Besides after all this it was a long enough chapter so i figured that was it for now. But dont worry the next one is coming up soon as soon as i can write it. Hopefully it wont take me long, this one only took me a day so i guess we'll see what happens.
