Gemini-Spark: Yep, I'm gonna post more chapters for sure! Thanks for the review!
School. Geo hated that place, that idea, that kids could be put together and brainwashed into learning the same things instead of being taught individually. They certainly had the technology at this point to implement this ideal, yet Echo Ridge High still used the old styles of school.
Geo walked into the gates a bit nervously. It had been 5 years since he was last here, and he was well aware of the rumors about him spread around the school, he just didn't care much for them. The rumors of the antisocial student who was too afraid to go to school, or the rumor of him being too stupid to go, pretty much every rumor was hilariously false.
The brunette ignored Mega's commenting on everything (The two had some sort of psychic connection so they could hear each other without actually speaking) and continued to head towards the attendance office. The school was huge, bigger than he remembered, probably due to remodeling. It was early, 7:30, while school started at 8:30, Geo expected setting up his schedule to take a long time so he came early.
Geo went into the attendance office, speaking to the secretary at the front desk "Um, hello I'd like to set up my schedule"
The man looked up from his newspaper. "Oh? Quite rare to see new students pop up in the middle of the year, yet we have had two today" The secretary thought aloud.
"Oh, don't mind me, What was your name son?" The man asked
"Geo, Geo Stelar" the new student replied.
"Stelar, hold on you wouldn't happen to be…" the man seemed shocked. The story of Geo's father was famous.
"Y-Yeah…" Geo interrupted, not wanting to talk about it.
"Oh, well I'm, er, I'm sorry for…" his voice trailed off "How about we start doing your scheduling" the man said quickly, to which the brunette nodded to.
A half hour later Geo finally finished with all the scheduling. As soon as he stepped out of the office he was confronted by three students.
In the middle was obviously the leader, she was a rather elegant looking girl wearing a blue dress and light blue and white striped leggings. Her expression was stern and had an arrogance to it, which made Geo sure he was going to hate her. The most defining feature of the girl was her extremely odd blonde hair, they were twin drills that resembled bunny ears in a way. The advantages of having such a ridiculous hairstyle seemed nonexistent to Geo.
To her side was a giant dude, above 6ft for sure. He also was chubby, yet at the same time had muscular arms. He wore ripped brown overalls with a bright yellow shirt which had a fork and a knife on it. He had an odd orange hat type thing on which let his dark blue hair pop out looking very unkempt.
The final lackey was a really tiny boy. He seemed to be their age, but he looked much younger. He was bellow 4 foot tall and wore a light green shirt and dark green shorts held up by suspenders. He also wore glasses and a tie and looked a little smug.
The girl examined Geo, studying his appearance, clearly judging him and getting a read on him. "I'm Luna Platz, the class president, and you must be the student who's been skipping for 5 years straight!" She scolded sternly.
Geo stayed silent, these jerks were a complete waste of time and part of the reason why he never wanted to go to school. The big guy growled at Geo
"Hey asshole! The Prez is talking to you! The least you can do is respond!" He said
"Bud, language" Luna, the Prez, said
"Sorry Prez" Bud said quickly, Geo found it funny the big tough guy took orders so well from Luna, though he still didn't comment on anything.
"Well, according to the attendance update that came in, your name is Geo" Luna said, looking at school records on her transer. "Zack look into him" she said
Geo frowned, looking into him was a complete invasion of his privacy. The short one started doing some things with his green transer, but Geo grabbed his hand "Don't" he said simply, his grip tight on the pipsqueak's arm.
Zack yelped, nodding quickly. Bud was about to step in and shove Geo aside, but Prez interrupted "Okay, I think we all got off on the wrong foot, Geo, do you mind telling us about yourself? I mean we are going to be your classmates and you'll need some friends right?" Luna had a more caring tone when she said this
Geo internally scoffed. This class president was trying to appear caring to get on Geo's good side, he didn't know why yet but it was clear she didn't actually want Geo to be a friend, just another lackey like Bud and Zack. The president was obviously very calculated in manipulating people to do what she wanted them to.
"No thanks" Geo said before starting to walk off, shocking the trio. Luna never had any problems with a student like this before, whenever she busted out the charm that combine with her good looks always worked
"Ugh, whatever, we still have to greet our new VIP student later today." Luna said
"These school people are quite annoying" Mega commented as they walked into the elevator
"Yeah, yeah they are" Geo sighed
Geo spent the rest of his time sitting in the classroom, waiting for class to start. He noticed that the rest of the class were getting hyped up for something, though Geo had no idea what they were excited about, it's just school. The loner took the time to question Mega about the FMian threat.
"Tell me again about planet FM" Geo said internally.
"Alright fine, planet FM is a war torn planet with EM beings like myself as its inhabitants. The king, Cephous, was extremely paranoid at anything that could possibly be a threat. In fact there used to be a sister planet to planet FM, this planet was called planet AM. These people were kind and wanted to develop a relationship with their sister planet, however Cepheus took the peace treaty as a threat, so he killed every last AMian and blew up their planet with their death weapon, Andromeda." Mega said, agitated with the actions of FM's king.
"And where does my dad fit into all this?" Geo said, already having heard the story, but still having chills when he heard of the death weapon Andromeda.
Mega sighed "You see, Kelvin…" the school bell rang, ending the conversation.
Students sat down and waited for the teacher to walk in. The large man wore a lab coat with many tools attached to it. He was an African man, having a large Afro and beard, but an even larger smile.
"Welcome class!" He said, starting to do attendance, he called everyone's name, and called Geo's last.
"Come on Mr. Shepar why do you always call his name when Geo will never-"
"I'm here" Geo interrupted the student's rant, everyone having a collective gasp of surprise.
"Oh, Mr. Stelar, you're here! How wonderful!" Shepar said, sounding genuinely thrilled
"Uh, yeah" Geo said, sounding uncomfortable with all the attention.
The class president jumped up from her seat "Well we finally have our entire class together! Just in time for the new student!" Luna said, trying to contain herself, it was clear she already had met the new student. Though Bud and Zack seemed just as clueless as the rest of the class though.
"Oh, right, I wonder where she is!" Shepar said "Ah oh well, she probably is getting caught up in scheduling, let's start class."
Surprisingly Geo didn't hate the school. He started out with Mr. Shepar for homeroom, going to math and other classes until he finally had physics with Shepar right before lunch. The classes weren't the problem, they were laughably easy to Geo when he tried, the problem were the students.
"Is that the kid?"
"Wonder why he skipped for five years"
"Is he emo?"
"Why hasn't he said anything to anyone yet?"
He heard all these things multiple times through the day, but he didn't care. Thankfully most everyone had forgotten the incident that happened to Geo's dad five years ago, only the adults remembered, and Geo could tell even they were gossiping about it.
Multiple times Luna and other students tried approaching Geo, but he always would give them an emotionless stare and wait until they awkwardly walked off. No one successfully got out a response from him.
"Don't you think you're being a little cold, kid?" Mega asked in his mind.
"I'm not here to make friends Mega" Geo responded
"Humans are so confusing"
In physics Mr. Shepar taught some basic concepts that Geo already knew, but Shepar taught in such an interesting way that it hooked Geo. When Shepar taught, he used stories from his life to give examples. Turns out the teacher had many kids, used to be a scientist himself, and was just a really great dude.
Geo could tell Shepar really cared for each student as their own children, and that made Geo actually care for him, which is something only three people had ever succeeded in.
Just when the class was getting interesting (For Geo, everyone else besides Zack and Prez were falling asleep, Bud had passed out in the first five minutes of class) there was an interruption.
"Sorry I'm late! I just got lost trying to find the bathroom! Plus scheduling and all that" A female voice said, walking into the room. The entire class (minus Geo) gasped in shock, knowing who the woman was.
Geo had no earthly idea who this girl was, she wore a pink hoodie and tight green shorts. Her hood had pink panda like ears coming from it. The girl removed the hood and revealed her dark pink hair, green eyes, and warm smile.
"Hi! I'm Sonia Strumm! I'm your new classmate!"
Yep, introducing Sonia aka my favorite Starforce character early! I can't wait to write more of her! Please review and stuff!
