You Oughta Know: Chapter 2
I wake up a little early so I can look my best for today. I wear my auburn hair in soft curls and put on the outfit I picked out yesterday. After applying my makeup and double-checking my appearance, I head downstairs for some breakfast.
"Good morning Karma! You look great for your first day. Molly made you some organic pancakes with a special ingredient!" Uncle Lucas exclaims. He then motions his hands to a plate of odd looking pancakes. Wait...are those...green? I take a gulp and try to hide my worried expression.
"Uh actually Uncle Lucas I should probably head to the bus stop; wouldn't wanna be late on the first day, right?" I ask, hoping he'll buy it.
"Oh yeah, look at the time. Well here, have some tea, Mol says your chart indicates a major cosmic shift. Good luck on your first day!" He hands me a small cup weird-smelling tea which I swallow down fiercely. Ignoring the unpleasant taste in my mouth, I get to the bus and have an awkward ride to the school, alone. On the ride there I remember my aunt saying something about having a juice truck at the school...I guess it makes sense, maybe kids in Austin are into things like that. I wonder if I'll see them at school. Molly and Lucas showed me the school yesterday on the way to their house, so I know when the bus gets to my stop.
Once I step off the bus I see tons of alternative students everywhere. Wow, this is nothing like my old school. Maybe they'll be accepting...maybe I can even tell them I'm a lesbian? I think about it for a second. Probably not Karma, what if it ends as badly as it did last time? Knocking some sense into myself make my way to what seems to be the office and grab my schedule. Oh great, I have math first period. I hate math, I'm much more into English. I like to think I have a way with words; it's a reason I love to write songs. Instead of finding my way to class on my own, I take the opportunity to try to make at least one new friend today. I tap on the shoulder of a taller, buff guy, hoping he'll help me out.
"Hey, excuse me? I'm Karma, I'm kinda new here and I was wondering if you knew where Mr. Langford's math class is?" I ask, hoping not to seem too geeky or lame. I see his eyes roam around my body once before giving his answer.
"Oh hey Karma, I'm Liam. I'd be happy to walk you to class if you'd like?" He hold out his arm to lock onto mine and gives his idea of a 'charming' smile. I don't wanna give this guy any ideas that I'm in to him or something, but I'd like to not walk around aimlessly. I shift uncomfortably from foot to foot before nodding and interlocking our arms as he shows me to my first class.
"Thanks Liam, I would've been looking everywhere for it." I give him a small smile and then grins back.
"So how about you sit with me and my friends today at lunch? We sit in the middle of the cafeteria if you're up for it." he asks hopefully. I feel bad giving him false hope, but this would give me a chance to make some friends which I'm all for.
"Sure, I'll be there. Thanks." I smile at him then make my way inside the classroom. Well if there's one thing normal about this school it's that the curriculum is still pretty much the same; math was torture. My next 2 classes, chemistry and English are close to my 1st period so I find them easily. Chemistry is pretty bad but I handle it. English was pretty great; then again I've loved it since forever. At the end of class I realize I have no idea where to go for my next period...meditation? What kind of class is that? I see a nice-looking girl with blonde wavy hair and green-blue eyes still sitting at her desk, so I decide to ask her where it is.
"Uh hello? I'm Karma...could you tell me where this uh...'meditation' class is?" I question, putting emphasis on 'meditation' as to making it clear it's odd to have a class like that. She fumbles with the button of her flannel as she looks up from the ground and gives me a smile.
"Wait, you're Karma? As in Karma Ashcroft?" I nod my head, wondering where this is going. "I'm Amy, your aunt and uncle run the juice truck here on campus! There drinks are amazing, I'm a regular customer there. They told me about you coming here! They are really cool, you're lucky to have family like them." Wow, I didn't know people loved them. That is pretty cool. I wonder if they told her the reason why I'm here? No, probably not. They know I'm sort of ashamed, even though they are totally accepting. "I'm Amy, by the way. It's kinda weird here, we have unusual classes like meditation and dance. You go down that hall out the door and follow the path to the yoga studio. I can show you there, it's on my way." She gets up from the desk and I give her a nod. As we proceed towards the yoga studio I realize she is very attractive. Her blonde hair flows back as the wind picks up and her smile is so warm and genuine.
"There you go. Just right in there." Amy's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I see a white building; it's actually kinda secluded from the rest of the school. Wait, she said this was on her way but no other classes are near here? Hmm, maybe she just needs and excuse to be late or something; yeah, that's it. "Oh and if you want, you could sit at my friends' table at lunch? You don't have to though..." her voice trails off.
"Amy! Of course I'd love to...but I kinda told someone else I'd sit with him. Liam I think his name is?" I wanna sit with this girl, but it'd be lame to ditch someone else. Her smiles drops as I say the first part, but when I mention Liam her eyes light up with joy.
"Oh well that's great! You already met the most popular guy in school, huh? Lucky you. We actually sit at the same table, so it all works out."
Wow, I did not peg Liam or Amy as the top of the school food chain. Wow, I am actually gonna (hopefully) be friends with the most popular people in school! And they are actually really nice! "Wow, that's so cool. Well we better get to class. See 'ya at lunch, Amy." I give her a goofy grin. She waves back and we go our separate ways. Okay, so I may have a crush on this girl...not that I'd ever let it show. I mean this school seems pretty accepting so far, but would they accept someone like me? She probably doesn't even roll that way. Especially since she's popular. Man, just when I thought I'd be able to tell people who I really am without it ending terribly.
A/N: So? What do you think the reason is for Karma moving here? What were the consequences last time she told someone about her sexuality? Also, I know this story is going kinda slow, but it's only the second chapter! Thanks for following/favoriting/reviewing!
