Chapter 2
Naminé was getting dragged to her classroom by Kairi, with Roxas following beside them. Naminé was able to say with confidence that Kairi and Roxas were people that were easy to get along with. However, she was curious about how the two got along with each other. She thought back to Sora, the boy she had met a few minutes ago. 'Sora had a gloom face as we walked away.' Naminé thought sadly.
"Naminé, here is our classroom and practice area!" Kairi explained as they walked into the room. "You can take Roxas' seat and sit with me. Roxas can be a loner."
"Fine, Kairi, be a bully. I'll just sit in this corner." At that moment a person ran up to Roxas and handed him a dunce hat. "And I'll be wearing this dunce hat that the sewing group just made for no apparent reason..." He put on the pointy hat that had the words 'DUNCE' written on it. Then he sat down in the lone chair that was at the back of the classroom.
"Nice hat Roxas." Kairi laughed lightly as Roxas stuck his tongue out at her.
Kairi rolled her eyes and walked Naminé to a table and sat down. She then motions for Naminé to sit in the seat beside her. Naminé sat down and laid her belongings on top of the table. She slowly begins to take in her surroundings.
The classroom looked like any other classroom, around 15 tables, for roughly 30 people. There was a desk in the front of the class for the teacher, and a computer in the corner. In fact, a teacher could be seen sitting in front of it right now.
'Oh right, I need to show the teacher that I'm a new student.' Naminé realized and just as she was about to get up and introduce herself to the teacher, the bell rang. More students ushered in and quickly took a random seat. The teacher finished up his typing and walked to the front of the class. He held a math textbook in his hand.
"Alright, everyone turn to page 258." He said in a bored tone. He flipped to the page and began to wait for the rest of the class to follow. But, he felt something was odd about his classroom. "We have 30 people in this class right? Why is Roxas sitting in a dark corner with a dunce hat?"
"My seat was taken, and the sewing group decided to put this on my head since they saw that I was alone in a corner. They said it'll help me fit into my current environment and they needed someone to test it out." Roxas replied as shifted his textbook around in his lap. The teacher sighed and scratched his head.
"Your seat was taken. That means we have a stowaway, huh?" The teacher tapped his chin. "Who is the stowaway?"
Naminé gingerly rose from her seat beside Kairi. "Um, I am, uh, Mister..." Naminé grew quiet as she realized she didn't know who the teacher was and that everyone was staring at her. Her face turned red and she began to lower her head to stare at the table.
"I am Mr. Leonhart. I will be your math teacher for around 5 month. Now, who are you?"
"My name is Naminé; I recently transferred to this school." She mumbled quietly, hoping that Mr. Leonhart heard her.
"Well, I don't have any textbooks on me right now, so for now just steal Kairi's. She's not going to be using it anyways." Mr. Leonhart replied nonchalantly.
"I object!" Kairi got up from her seat and slammed her hands down. "As a teacher it is your responsibility to provide us with the proper teaching materials. In fact, we can all clearly see that you are currently carrying a textbook in your cold-hearted hands; Mr. Leonhart. You could be doing a good deed and being a good teacher if you are willing to lend Naminé, a new student, your precious copy. That would be killing two birds with one stone." Naminé began to sink into her seat as the attention was now on Kairi.
"Fine, I'll lend Naminé my co-" Mr. Leonhart began to speak but was cut off by Kairi.
"As a fellow student, I speak for everyone, when I say that it is our responsibility to obey the teacher and learn what is being taught. So as the teacher, you have to be dedicated to your job and compassionate to students."
As all the students were looking towards Mr. Leonhart, they saw him burying his face in his hands. Kairi continued on with her speech and the class was trying to hold in their laughter. Around 10 minutes had passed and Kairi was still speaking.
"I don't know about you, but I believe that school is a family place where we are willing to share with others. To us, you are like a very, very, very distant father. And this school is like our millionth home away from home."
At this moment, Mr. Leonhart was already making a phone call and ignoring Kairi's speech.
"Also, as a teacher you should be listening to your students, when they are speaking. Thank you for your time. I hope in the future, Mr. Leonhart will learn about the goodness of compassion and lending." Kairi raised her voice as she concluded her speech, after that she took a small bow and sat down in her seat.
The class was silent for a few seconds before everyone erupted in applaud. They all started to cheer on Kairi. Naminé simply had a look of confusion at what had happened. When a knock was heard by the door, the class was quickly silence.
"Well, Mr. Leonhart, your class is always so energetic; I can hear you all the way from down the hall." Ms. Gainsborough, the school book keeper held a brand new math textbook in her hand. "Well, here is the math textbook you wanted."
"Thank you so much." Mr. Leonhart nearly had tears in his eyes as he graciously accepted the textbook. Ms. Gainsborough chuckled in a light tone as she left.
"Naminé, come and get your textbook." Naminé quickly ran up to Mr. Leonhart and grabbed her textbook then she quickly retreated back to her seat. She ran as fast as she could to avoid prolonged stares from her classmates.
"Alright, now everyone turn to page 258 please." The students all waited for Naminé to turn to the page. "Everyone, I will only be giving you 5 minutes to work on your play at the end of class because someone decided to waste all my class time."
"I object!" Kairi got up from her seat and got ready to make yet another speech. "As a teacher, it is your responsibility to keep your class in order. You shouldn't blame the students for your lack of control in the classroom. That's why-"
"Okay, you know what; just read 258 by yourself and do the work on page 259 and 260. If you need help ask your classmates. Only ask me if no one in the class knows the answer. I'll go over the pages tomorrow. Don't do anything wild while I'm out of the classroom." Mr. Leonhart put away his textbook and began to make his way out of the classroom. "I need some aspirin." He muttered as he ran outside the room.
As soon as everyone was sure was out of the classroom. The class all began to put away their textbooks and they soon began to push the tables to the side. "Great job, Kairi! You got Mr. Leonhart to leave again!" Roxas walked up to Kairi and gave her a high-five. The rest of the class began to cheer too. Naminé was shocked at what had happened.
"Oh, don't worry about Mr. Leonhart. We always bug him until he decides to leave the class. We really want to win the trophy for the fall presentation, so we have been getting him to leave the class so we can rehearse more. Don't think badly of us Naminé!" Kairi noticed Naminé's shocked face and replied.
Roxas gave a small smile.
At the same time, Kairi decided to let out a devious smile. "This is when acting comes in handy a lot."
Naminé looked around the class and saw a hidden devil behind them all. 'What kind of crazy school is this?' Naminé shook her head and began to bang her head against the table.
"C'mon everyone into your costumes, we manage to get Mr. Leonhart to leave really early so we have a lot of time to go over our fall play." A student in the class called, Selphie announced. "We also need to find a part for Naminé to play!"
Naminé stopped banging her head against her table.
"What's wrong Naminé?" Roxas tilted his head towards Naminé. "You suddenly stopped banging your head."
"I can't act." Naminé mumbled under her breath.
"Well, you could be stage crew. You can always learn how to act later." Kairi suggested.
"I don't want to be on the stage." Naminé gave a more specific answer.
"You can be part of the sewing group." Roxas suggested.
"I can't sew to save my life." Naminé slammed her head against the table.
"Well, for now you can sit this play out and help out with set up before the play." Kairi said bleakly.
"Fine, we'll leave her out of the fall play. But she has to be in our winter play." Selphie sighed as she began to hold up a dress. "Kairi come try this dress that I made!"
Kairi walked over to Selphie. Naminé sighed slightly. Since everyone was working on the play she could start doing her math homework. She glared at the numbers that form math equations. Over a hundred questions for homework. Naminé grabbed out a piece of paper and wrote the number 1 down. She stared at the equation for what seems like a millennium, and then she started to bang her head against the table again. The math looked like completely gibberish to her.
"What's wrong now, Naminé?" Roxas sat backwards in a chair and crossed his arms, resting them on the table. He was sitting in the seat in front of Naminé. "Is it the homework?"
Naminé stop banging her head and timidly nodded her head. "I don't know what it's talking about at all."
"Which question?"
"All of them."
"That's bad, and we have a test next day."
"I know... WHAT?" Naminé suddenly shouted causing a silence in the classroom. When she realized her action she quickly covered her mouth and mouthed a sorry to everyone.
"Well, maybe test is an over exaggeration. He gives us 10 questions the next day whenever he assigns homework."
"I'm going to fail badly."
"Do you need help? I can help you."
"Sure." Naminé was so happy she met someone kind enough to help her. However, as she peered from the corners of her eyes, she could see Kairi, now fitted into a dress, staring at them.
"Do you have a piece of paper?" Roxas asked. He was clearly oblivious of Kairi staring at them.
"Yeah, here." Naminé hesitantly grabbed another piece of paper out. Roxas then began to explain how to do the questions. As he explained, Naminé saw that Kairi face was getting more and more bitter.
After around 15 minutes, Roxas had finished teaching Naminé how to do the math homework. "Well that's the most I can help you. Just do all the homework, and the quiz tomorrow will be a breeze. If I make you screw up bad on the quiz tomorrow, then just remember that you're taking advice from a guy wearing a dunce hat." He laughed lightly.
"Just joking. Anyways, if you need help with math or anything just call my number." Roxas wrote his number on a piece of paper and handed it to Naminé. "Or you can find me at lunch. I'm always willing to help a friend."
Roxas got up from the seat and began to talk to Selphie. Naminé observed as Roxas took off his jacket and put on a cape that the sewing group prepared. She then began to listen as the class continued rehearsing their play now that Roxas was available.
Naminé observed the scene that was being played out in front of her. She began to take in the art know as drama that everyone here was so dedicated about. They were like completely different people, it made Naminé felt like an outcast.
Suddenly in the middle of the play, Kairi paused momentarily. "Then I'll squirt this orange peel... in your eye." She said slowly.
"Hah, let's see you try." Roxas crossed his arms and took a glance at the script. "Well, let's see you squirt the orange peel..."
"Hah... take this..." Kairi said unenthusiastically. "What kind of messed up script did you guys write?" She exclaimed as she tossed the script to Selphie
"Yeah, this script is horrible, no offense. I doubt this story will get us the trophy. Even if we act well, the story still plays a huge part for our group." Roxas sighed as he also handed the script to Selphie.
"Well this practice is going to be paused again." The whole class except Naminé groaned.
Naminé looked at the clock and only a few minutes remained. She put all her stuff away and began to stare at the clock.
At the same time the students were all putting the tables back into place and taking their seat. When the bell rang, Naminé got up to go to her next class. Suddenly, everyone began to stare at Naminé. She didn't understand why no one else was getting up from their seats.
"Naminé, you're stuck with us, in first, second and forth block. We're always together in the same class, except in third block when you are allowed to take whatever course you want." Kairi whispered.
"But my schedule said that my room isn't here."
"That's just a place where you can meet with your teacher for additional help. At this school, you don't rotate class, unless it's for physical education, or unless you're in an advance course. The teacher comes to us because this classroom is basically our home. I'll explain how the school works to you during lunchtime." Kairi nodded her head diligently.
Naminé slumped back down into her seat and sighed. 'This school was going to take some time to get use to.'
While Naminé pondered about how this school worked she heard quiet footsteps that were quickly getting louder.
"Good morning, class. I heard that you got Mr. Leonhart to leave the classroom again." A teacher that looked really young walked into the class holding a book beside him. He had steel blue hair that partially covers his eyes. "Well, the principal told me to not give you students anytime on your play in this class because you students haven't been obeying the rules."
The class was in total silence. Naminé was surprised by the sudden change in the class behaviour. "As your English student-teacher, I will be sure to make you all obey me." He opened his book and shifted his attention to it. Without lifting his eyes from his book he continued to speak. "For Naminé, our new student, allow me to introduce myself."
A/N: I feel so proud of myself that I wrote the second chapter! Thanks for the reviews; it really encouraged me to write even though I should be doing some homework... Anyways, this will be a Namora, but I might be playing around with some Namixas. Namixas, used to be my favourite pairing after all. Please rate and review!
As a side note, I went and fix some errors that I noticed in the first chapter, if you see any errors please tell me so I can go and fix them! Thanks!
