Ch 2. Wait... Have I seen you before...?
Holden walked through the door to her math class and to her desk. Steven, the boy who sits next to her, turned to face her. "Did you hear? There's going to be a new student sometime this week. What was his name again... It was pretty odd. Uh... Ron? No not Ron. Um Ren... No that's not it either..."
"Reno?" Holden question Steven.
"Yeah that's it. Reno. Odd name right?"
"Yeah..." Holden looked confused. She turned to look at her desk and started to think. 'No that's just too weird...right?' Holden pulled out her phone to text Claire the news when the teacher walked by.
"I will take that. Thank you."
"Sorry..." Holden handed over her phone to the teacher.
"You can have this back after school. Start checking your homework."
"Ok..." Holden just stared at her homework. She really wanted her phone back so she could text Claire. The remainder of the class she was fidgety and kept looking up at the clock in hopes that time would go faster. Holden thought to herself 'Come on just move faster...' For what seemed like forever the bell finally rang and Holden quickly packed up her stuff and rushed out the door hoping he could run into Claire before the next class. She had no luck. 'I wonder if something like this has happened to Claire...'
Claire was sitting in her chair waiting for the teacher to finish explained the days agenda so she could get to work on her T-shirt design.
"Ok you can get to work." Claire rushed over to the back of the room and went over to the blue bin that was the screen bath. She reached in and took a screen out and placed it in the screen washer. It wasn't long before the teacher walked over. "Claire?"
"Yeah?" Claire looked up worried that she was doing something wrong.
"There's a student joining our class can you teach him the ropes?"
"Sure thing. I'd be happy to." Claire smiled in delight. She loved to help people out. She had just finish cleaning her screen and she was taking it out of the screen washer when she heard someone,
"Hi... I'm Riku and you are?" Claire turned her head towards the voice when she heard the name. When she saw who voice belonged to she dropped the screen making a crash sound. She stood there frozen in panic. Her heart nearly stopped. Were her eyes playing tricks on her? Or was this for real? "Here let me help." Riku picked up the screen and handed it to Claire. "Here.". Claire blushed and took the screen. She looked at him, he did have silver hair, but could it really be him?
"Th.. Thanks. I'm... My...my names Claire."
Holden was heading for her next class keeping an eye out for Claire, but she wasn't looking where she was going and ran right into someone. "I'm so sorry" Holden looked to see who she ran into. He was tall with shaggy blood-red hair that came into his eyes. He wore black jeans with a white T-shirt. He just glared at Holden with an unhappy look on his face. Holden was staring at him till she realized what she was doing. "Sorry its just that you look very familiar..."
"Can't say we met before..." He turned to walk away. Out of impulse Holden tapped his shoulder.
"What's your name?" The redhead turned to face her.
"Mikoto Suoh" he turned and walked away leaving Holden in shock. Holden thought to herself 'man if only I had my phone... I have to find Claire. I gotta tell her about this.' She continued to her class only to find Mikoto sitting at the computer next to hers. 'He's in my class?' She thought to herself. 'I could try to email Claire but I don't want to risk Mikoto looking over my shoulder and see what I'm typing...' She sighed. 'What do I do now... Wait... Why is he in my class? I never thought of him being one for photography. Let alone an AP photo class' Holden walked over to the computer she works on everyday and logged on. She was pulling her memory cards out her bag when someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hey... I uh... Never got your name" Mikoto wasn't really looking at her. He eyes would occasionally meet Holden's but as soon as they did he looked away.
"Huh...? Oh. I'm Holden" she gave an awkward smile and as soon as she realized Mikoto wasn't smiling she stopped and looked back at her computer. "Sorry for bumping into you in the hall"
"Oh... Yeah. It's ok" he stood up from the computer. "See ya" he turned and walked over to the printer and picked up a piece of paper before leave the class. Holden sighed of relief 'So he was just printing something out for another class. Now that makes more sense. At least now I can email Claire. I hope she gets it.' Holden pulled up her email on the computer and typed a quick message. 'Hey Claire. Phone was taken away by math teacher. I'll get it back at end of the day, today but man do I have something big to tell you. I'll talk to ya after school. Hope your day is going better than mine' she clicked send and closed out her email. Thinking to herself 'There's still five minutes left of class.' Holden sat at the computer thinking her day through. 'And I still have four more classes to go...' When the bell rang Holden was the first one to leave the class determined to try to see Claire before her next class. Once again no luck.
Holden was sitting with her feet up on her desk in her 8th hour class twirling her pencil in her fingers. She couldn't wait for the bell to ring. She started to twirl her pencil faster and it flew out her hand and hit Eric, the guy who sis in front of her, in the side of the head.
"Hey watch it will ya!" He turned and snapped at her.
"Sorry... You head was in my way" Holden shrugged her shoulders. Eric sighed.
"What am I going to do with you huh?"
"Buy me lunch tomorrow?" Holden smiled and laughed.
"Sure why not." The bell rang.
"Hey I'll see ya tomorrow. Bye" Holden ran out of the class before Eric could say anything. She made her way down the crowded hall and beat Claire to their usual meeting place. Holden started to pace back and forth 'Where is she?' Ten minutes passed and Claire finally showed up, but it looked like she was in a daze, happily smiling. Holden spotted Claire and ran over to her.
"Claire! You'll never guess what happened... Whoa what happened to you?"
Claire finally snapped out of her daze, "What? What did you say? Sorry I didn't hear you."
"You will never guess who I saw. I meant to text you earlier... My phone! It's still with my teacher! I'll be right back" Holden turned to run up to her math class when she collided with someone. She would have knocked them over if it wasn't for the fact that they had just walked through a door and it closed behind them when Holden crashed into them. She looked like she was giving them a hug. They guy held up his arms in shock.
"Please tell me we're not going to make a habit out of this?" Holden backed up after hearing the persons voice.
"I'm so sorry..." Holden blushed. "I'm just... Gonna go get my phone and be right back" she hurried through the doors and fast walked down the hall till she was out of sight and started to run.
"Is she always like that?" Mikoto turned to Claire.
Claire was shocked at who she saw but she quickly snapped out of it, "Eh sometimes she's like that."
"You're her friend?"
"Yeah, she's my friend. She's a good friend."
"So I see..." He walked over to the bench by Claire and sat down. "It shouldn't take her too long to get her phone right?"
"No it shouldn't take too long. Oh hey I never introduced myself. I'm Claire."
"Mikoto" he gave a small nod.
"Nice to meet you Mikoto. So I'm guessing you are new here?"
"Yeah I just moved here last week"
"Well it's good that school started just a few weeks ago. Right?"
"I guess..." He didn't look at Claire. He still had his expressionless look on his face. Holden walked back into the lobby and Mikoto looked up at her. It almost looked like he was smiling, but it was to hard to tell.
"Ok I got my phone back" Holden smiled as she waited for her phone to turn back on. "So what happened while I was gone?"
"Nothing much. So Holden do you want to watch the rest of that anime I showed you earlier?"
"Huh... Oh yeah I completely forgot about that..." She walked over towards the bench, but stopped in her tracks looking at her phone. "Twenty four texts from you... Really? What happened that you kept texting me?"
"It would be best if you read them, and read them to yourself. Don't read them out loud please." Claire said.
"Alright..." Holden started reading the texts her eyes went wide and she looked up at Claire. "So it happened to you too?" Holden was in shock.
Claire leaned forward and whispered in Holden's ear, "Try to keep it down." Claire tilted her head slightly toward Mikoto who was still sitting on the bench.
"Got it..." Holden whispered back. She started to head for the bench but stopped. "Hey Claire I just remember we have a club meeting today. Sorry Mikoto we can't stay. It was nice meeting you though" Holden have him a small smile.
"Yeah. You too." Holden grabbed onto Claire wrist and started to head for the door leading back to the main hall. Once they were far enough away Holden slowed her pace down and turned to Claire
"I'm not the only one going crazy right?"
"I don't know, maybe we are both crazy. Or maybe this is all a dream. I really hope it's not."
"If this is a dream it sure has some pretty good details I have to admit. I mean usually if I dream about the school its like some weird version of Hogwarts with the hallways moving and the rooms changing. I could walk out of a room then go back into the same door and it would be a whole new room"
"Well sometimes when I have a dream when I'm in school, most of the time the school looks normal but sometimes it looks different."
"Yeah but nothing looks different here" Holden looked around the halls. "It all looks the same to me"
"Also if this was a dream, which one of us is part of the dream? I don't think it's a dream. So what has happened must real!"
"Oh hang on" Holden held out her hand in a fist. She stared at it for a moment then one by one she stretched out her fingers. It looked like she was counting. She repeated it four time before looking up. "Yep... It's not a dream"
"How did this happen? I mean I'm glad it did but how?"
"I'm not sure..." Holden scratched the back of her head. "Hey you know what it's a nice day out I could go for some ice cream. How bout you?"
"Yeah, it will calm me down. I don't know what's happening around here but I really want some ice cream."
"Come on let's get going then" Holden smiled. They walked out to Holden's car and drove off to the nerdiest ice cream place. Holden parked the car and they started to walk up to the counter. Holden turned to look at Claire "So what do you plan to get?"
"I will get...hmm chocolate fudge brownie! With hot fudge!"
"Nice I think I'll get regular chocolate," Holden smiled and continued to walk right into someone. "I am so sorry!" Holden's cheeks became hot. The guy she bumped into turned to face her.
Hey! Why don't you..." He stood there staring at her for a moment. Holden was in shock and speechless. Claire stood next Holden, once again she too was shocked at who she saw.
"Hey Axel you gonna order what you want?" One of his buddies called out. He was shorter than Axel with blonde hair that stuck out in places. Axel just waved his arm at him.
"Yeah... Uh Roxas you can just order for me" His focus remained on Holden. "Hey are you ok?" Holden just stood there staring at him. He tilted his head in confusion. Claire nudged Holden in the side snapping her out of her daze.
"I uh... Uh... Yeah?"
"Yeah?" He repeated her. "What's your name?"
"My name... I'm Holden"
"Holden... I like it. I'm Axel. Got it memorized?"
"Mmh hmm... Oh and that's Claire" Holden poked Claire in the shoulder while trying to point in her direction.
"Hey." Claire said as she waved at him.
"Hi" he continued to look at Holden till his other buddy tapped his shoulder.
"Come on man. I got your ice cream"
"Thanks Dem" Axel took the ice cream from Demyx and turned back to Holden. "Why don't you come join us?"
"I uh.." Holden couldn't speak.
Claire jabbed Holden in the side again with her elbow, then looked at Axel, "Sure we'll join you guys."
"Yeah.." Holden finally spoke.
"Great" he smiled and joined his friends over at a table.
"Did you really have to jab your elbow in my side that hard?" Holden was rubbing her side where Claire elbowed her.
"Yes, otherwise you would be in a daze forever and creeped him out probably." Holden just looked away from Claire.
"Let's just order already..." Holden walked up to the counter. "I'll have chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone please." Holden turned to Claire. "You ready to order?"
"Yeah, I'll have a medium chocolate fudge brownie with hot fudge in a cup." They waited by the window till there ice cream came out.
"Alright. Come on let's go sit down" Holden turned to head to a table and saw Axel waving them over. "Right... We're sitting with them. Please be gentle when you elbow me"
"I'll try, but don't bump into him. He is the second redhead you have bumped into today."
"Shut up..." Holden whined squinting her eyes at Claire.
"Heh heh, just calm down. It was a joke. But it is strange that we ran into them..." Claire trailed off.
Holden straighten up and I squinted her eyes. "Yeah I was thinking the same thing... It's really odd" they walked up to the table and sat down. Axel was sitting on the other side when he got up and moved over by Holden.
"So who's your new girlfriend Axel?" Demyx taunted. Holden blushed and looked down trying to hid it.
"Ah shut man! That's not cool," Axel kicked Demyx shin under the table.
"Sorry..."
"So, I haven't seen you guys around here before. Are all you guys new here?" Claire asked.
"Yeah we just came here a few weeks ago" Roxas said before taking a spoonful of ice cream to his mouth. Holden was getting too antsy and had to say something
"I'm sorry but this has been just driving me nuts... Who are you guys?"
"What do you mean?" Axel raised an eyebrow at her.
"Well, you guys kinda...look like...uh..."
"You guys remind us of characters from a video game." Claire blurted, interrupting Holden.
"Wait... You can see us... For what we really look like?" Axel asked.
