Hey all! MrNinjaBallz here! I decided to try and do my own author's notes from now on. XP There's only one thing though. I think my story would be more interesting as a mirror to Hisankanpeki's if I wrote it in first person, so that's what I'll do. :D
I walked with my hands in the pockets of my hoodie on the way to school. I had literally nothing to carry yet. The school came into sight, and I sighed, "Geez. Not like I need to go. I could make my teachers MY students." I pulled my schedule out and memorized it as I walked into the school.
I wish I could say something happened between that and fourth period, but nothing really did. I've got every single class with Rex. He's nerdy…and that's as detailed as it gets. He's really nerdy if you like using adverbs.
In fourth period, I had to go to Science class. I think the schedule said Earth Science or something. "Let's hope I meet someone interesting. Or that Rex will at least have a different class." I said to myself as I walked in.
"Wow. Need any batteries for that?" I whispered to myself as I walked over and sat down next to an interesting looking girl. I thought, 'She looks like she doesn't know what to do…Oh, she's a new student.' I forgot that I was still looking at her while I thought.
"What!" she barked at me, having noticed my stare.
I smirked, "Never seen red hair like that. You dye it that color?" I asked because I always dye my blonde hair black. I hate blondes.
She reached up and touched her hair, "No, it's natural." She looked mad now.
"Wow, you Irish?" I smiled outright, seeing if the girl had a sense of humor. She didn't.
"No, do I sound like it?" She sounded even madder. Great. Hopefully I would think of something soon. I didn't have time.
Rextar walked in and smiled at us, then ran over and sat on her other side. He sat way too close to her and said, "Hi, I'm Rex! You can call me Rextar though, and don't ask about the nickname either." He chuckled and nudged me, but I just sighed.
He reached for a handshake, and she actually did shake it, much to my surprise. He chuckled again and said, "You shake like a girly girl." He chuckled more. He was starting to annoy me and I had known him for years, so this poor girl must hate him already.
"So? Just cause I shake like that don't mean I'm like that." You said with a rather country accent as she glared at him.
Rex suddenly exploded into Pokemon and girls and more Pokemon, but he suddenly asked, "SO what's your bra size?"
At this I gritted my teeth and said, "Rextar go." I pointed across the room and hoped she hadn't heard him. He walked off, dejected, but not any worse than usual. I sighed, "I'm Derek, by the way, Derek Summers." I decided not to shake hands. I had killed several wristwatches doing that.
Just then the teacher started talking louder, and I started doing long division to keep my mind busy. I mean really? Lab procedures? I didn't think the general populace was THAT stupid.
The bell finally rang and I headed to lunch, still bookless, and got through the line. As I went to sit somewhere else, Rex rushed past me and sat across from the new girl. I sighed, thinking about Rex's overly eagerness, and went to sit next to her. She didn't appreciate.
I saw the new girl try to scoot away from me, so I scooted away from her too. You learn to avoid people when they all think you're arrogant. Which, I probably was a little. I tried to make nice though. "Can you believe the assignment that we have?" It was like 52 terms.
She looked away and started doodling, and I sighed again. 'I feel hated. Maybe I ought to leave her alone.' I thought. Suddenly I noticed that she started crying, but Rex beat me to it. Albeit, in his own way.
Rex asked, "Hey, why are you crying?" He leaned in to within kissing range when he asked.
She wiped the tears from her eyes, and said, "Just missing someone, now get out of my bubble."
She glared at Rex again, and I sighed yet again.
I grabbed Rex by the forehead, and shoved him back down onto his seat. I looked to the new girl and asked, "You draw really good." I wondered if that was grammatically correct. English wasn't my forte. She looked mad, but actually muttered a thank you.
I decided then what to call her. It was a real original name. Really. Really really original. It took all my wit and intelligence to create such an excellent nickname for her.
I didn't see Newgirl for the rest of the day, but I did see Rex…every single period. Yippee. I'd kill myself, but I found out my heart restarts itself. That kind of tickles though.
I saw Newgirl again when I walked outside after the end of school, and she was actually getting on a bike. "Damn. I thought I'd be the only motorcycle rider in town. Guess Newgirl's got me there." I was speaking with no one around me.
I walked over. "This yours?" I asked her. It was definitely a nice ride. Very, very nice. I wondered if Newgirl was rich.
"No, it's a friend's. He just let me borrow it for a while." I thought she looked uneasy, but I let it go.
"It's still nice." I said as I thought. 'Nicer than mine.' I saw she had already started leaving and I called out, "See ya tomorrow!" I smirked, wondering if Newgirl would be that way all year.
I turned and started walking home, bookbag in tow, knowing I'd spend my time working on my baby. "I still need to give it a name, don't I? Won't need my motorcycle after I'm finished, that's for sure." I chuckled as I realized I was talking to myself again. "I hope Newgirl gives me her name tomorrow."
Awesomesauce. Chapter 2 is now up. You don't have to review, or like it, but it is mandatory for you to have read it. Cuz you skipped to the bottom if you didn't already. Reviewing, liking, and reading it are all very much appreciated though. ^_^ Thanks for reading the newest installment of Altered!
