After school, school bathroom, right before karate class
Okay, I don't have too much time right now so gotta right this quick.
Anyway, the teacher led me to the hall outside of the classroom and told me to wait. I did.
"Quiet class, I want to introduce the new student now, so I want you all to behave." I heard my teacher say through the closed door of my new classroom. Then I heard some hushes and a few whispers. A few seconds later, the teacher opened the door and said, "Come in now." and I slowly walked in.
The whispers grew louder as I walked towards my teacher's table and I wasn't sure why. Did I look bad or something? I was worried.
My teacher wrote a few words on the board and I looked at the ground, not realizing that some people were whispering, "She's so pretty" to others. I did blush for some reason.
"I would like you all to welcome Mouri Ran our new friend and let her feel at home. So none of you misbehave." Her last words were punctuated with a few chuckles by others. "Ran, would you like to introduce anything about yourself?"
I looked up at her, then I turned towards the students who were staring at me with wondered eyes. I tensed.
"You don't have to if you don't want." She chuckled as a few people grumbled and sat back in their seats with half-moon eyes. "Just make yourself happy. There's an empty seat over there, you may be seated." She pointed to a seat next to the window, which is also next to a girl with dirty-blonde hair and blue eyes.
I walked over to the desk and set my back-pack on it. The girl was staring at me. "I hope we could be friends!" She smiled and I smiled back.
The first class I had was Algebra, which is way too easy for me. I've always been in the talented math class since I was small. But the short-haired girl next to me seemed to have a bit of a problem on it; her tongue was even sticking out on one side as she was trying to figure out the answer for a problem.
I sighed.
The next class was health—the class I hated the most. Last year in my old school we were talking about under-age sexual activity. Exactly! Gross!
Then, it was science, another class I'm good at. But I also wondered if there was any class that I had problems on. Not to be bragging or anything.
Finally, the first part of the day ended and it was time for lunch. A time when I'm finally free from all those piece-of-cakes. I started packing my things up so it'll look neater, while all the others came gathering over to talk to me.
"Where'd you come from?"
"How old are you?"
"Got any interests lately? Hee hee."
"Now, now everyone." The girl who was sitting next to me pushed in, "Don't make her feel squished by snuggling too near to her, okay? And stop talking to her like she's some kind of an alien." I stared. "How 'bout we give her some of her own time?" And she started pushing everyone away. I felt relieved.
When everyone stopped grumbling and walked away, the girl sighed and mumbled "finally" with moon eyes as I smiled and thanked her.
"Oh, no problem, I always enjoyed helping people." She waved her hand as she opened her eyes all the way. "Especially new ones." And she grabbed my hand. "I was a new one before you came." She winked and pulled me out of the room.
Her name was Suzuki Sonoko, 15, and is a millionaire's daughter of the city. She just moved in a few months before me (it's the second trimester now). She's quite popular since she was so rich, but she doesn't seem like a miss because of the way she acts and the way she talks. She seems to be the same as me, minus the richer part.
We made a lot of conversations and after lunch we already became good friends. She's really friendly but she seems a little over-obsessed with boys.
"So, have you met anyone interesting lately?" she smirked.
"Boys, you mean?" She nodded. "Well, no, I only just came."
"Oh, don't worry though, I'm sure you'll meet someone you like, there are plenty of hotties in this school." She winked at me and I shuttered.
"How 'bout you?" I asked.
"Many. They're all major hotties, I don't think I'll live without them." She folded her hands together and looked up at the sky with dreamy eyes. "I just wished that there is somebody that's just right for me and loves me the way I do for him." I shook myself and kept staring at her. But she didn't look at me; she only glanced at the sky. I sighed. My new friend is a boy-maniac.
The school bell rang and it was time for our afternoon classes. The two of us darted through the crowds of students and entered our rooms, but I didn't notice that there were thousands of folded papers that were stuffed in my drawer. I heard my jaw crash onto the floor when I saw the scene, along with Sonoko's crazy laughs.
"Whoa, first day of school and you became so popular. Ha ha." I felt blood rush onto my cheeks. "You'd better clean it up though." She stopped laughing and whispered in my ear, "The teachers get mad when they see so much paper in your desk." And she started helping me by taking the letters out and throwing them in the recycle bin. I felt much better by then. But I also wondered; what's wrong with all these people? I'm only and new student. Hello?
I just hope that this same thing won't happen twice. Or more.
Ah! I'm going to be late for karate!
