Class 2: Music

After Rachel and Nikki finally showed me and Lissa where everything was and the showers were I actually felt better, now I know that I don't have to run around looking for the bathroom late at night. So we all crashed back in my room and ate the snacks that we picked up from the store that was in the school.

"Well I guess it's time for bed". Rachel said looking at her watch.

"Really? What time is it?" I asked looking around for a clock.

"It's 9:32". Rachel said as she got up and stretched. "Whew…today was something."

"I actually had a lot of fun, you know besides the whole me loosing my key thing". Melissa said jiggling her key that she had now attached a bear plushie to it.

"Well you guys get some rest, class starts at 8". Rachel said opening my door and Nikki got up and went with her.

"Night girls". Nikki said as she and Rachel walked out the room and closed the door softly, leaving me and Melissa.

"Well, so far I'm having fun". Melissa said getting up. "I'm gonna go hit the showers and then go to bed."

"Alright, I think I'll go a bit later. I wanna relax abit"

Melissa walked off towards her room and I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. "Tomorrow is my first day of class…" I sighed and sat up.

"I'm not tired!" I said getting up and walking out of the room and stared walking down the long halls that seemed to go on forever in this place.

"Ignoring the fact of my brother being in this school…this is actually a really pretty school."

"You know it's not good to be wandering around at night". I heard a voice say from behind me. I felt a chill go down my spine when I heard that voice. I turned to see Kai walking behind me.

"..Are you following me now?" I asked folding my arms.

"I wouldn't call it that." He answered smiling at me.

"Oh lemme guess, Tala put you up to it…are you like a bodyguard or something?"

He just laughed abit, put his hands in his pocket and walked to me and leaned in a bit to my face, I felt my cheeks heat up thank god it was night and the only light was from the moon shining in from the large glass window.

"Tala didn't put me up to anything…" He said searching my eyes.

"Ok…" I said trying to think of something that would make me stopping blushing.

"…your cute you know that?" Kai said backing away and leaning against the window.

"Excuse me?" I said startled.

Kai shrugged and walked up to me again, this time he patted my head.

"Don't touch me; I'm not your pet". I said turning away. "This guy is something else…" I thought to myself.

"You're something else". He said walking next to me.

"Why are you following me?" I asked looking at him with my eyebrow raised.

"I don't have anything else to do, so I guess I'll pick on the new girl"

"Well, the new girl doesn't wanna be picked on". I said walking faster. Next thing I know I'm tripping and falling face first to the floor"

"…ow…" I said sitting on my butt and rubbing my forehead. "That hurt like hell, I'm gonna have a headache tomorrow".

I looked up at Kai and he was smiling at me. "Nice…"

"What?" I said looking at him with one eye.

Kai pointed down…and I realized how I was sitting; my legs weren't completely open but I had my knees up, making under my skirt visible to anyone behind me…like Kai. I felt my whole face go red.

"Crap!!" I jumped up holding my skirt down, this is the only time ever I wish I wasn't wearing a mini (and I wear them a lot!)

"If the halls were lighter maybe I could have got a color…" Kai teased.

"You're a jerk!" I said walking back towards my room not before making a face at Kai. I'll just wait till later tonight to take my shower.

-()-()-()-()-()-

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!"

"Mmm? Yeah who is it?" I answered just barely having my eyes open.

"Kele! You're gonna be late! Get up!" I heard Lissa say from the other side of the door. I looked at the time and it said 7:50. "Omg!" I jumped from my bed grabbed my uniform and ran out of my room to head for the showers.

"Ha ha". Melissa giggled as she followed me to the bathroom. "It's not like you to over sleep Kel, what happened?"

I thought of me falling on my face and Kai catching a glimpse of my underwear. "Kai happened…"

Melissa's eye sparkled. "What? When did this happen?-". I stopped her before she got ahead of herself…again. "Nothing is going on between me and that jerk". I said walking into the bathroom and walking into the shower.

"Well you overslept…explain that". Melissa said over the shower.

"I ran into him last night, when I talking a walk…" I said back to her, hoping I wasn't too loud…the last thing I need is a Kele/Kai rumor.

"And..?" Melissa said back to me.

I finished my super quick shower and walked out of the shower in a towel. "I fell…face first to the ground and…kinda flashed Kai…

As soon as I said that Melissa looked at me and her eyebrows rose "what?"

"Not intentionally". I said quick fast. "I fell to the ground rubbing my head and next thing I know he's laughing at me". I said walking to the changing stalls and got dressed.

"That's mean". Melissa said putting her hands on her hip.

"Yeah I know". I said walking out fixing my skirt, then walking to the sink to brush my teeth.

Melissa looked at her watch. "We gotta get going...we have like 3 mins before class starts!"

"Really?" I asked still brushing my teeth looking at her through the window. I finished brushing my teeth made a fast trip back to my room to get my bag and we made a run for our first day in class.

"Good morning class!" The bald teacher said walking to his desk laying down his stack of papers he was carrying. "Today we have two new students…"

Melissa and I waited outside the door, I was crossing my fingers hoping that I wasn't gonna be in the same class as Tala. Melissa fondled with her bag, she was as nervous as I was. We just listened as the teacher told the class about us, then we heard "you may come in now, ladies." We walked in and stood next to the teacher's desk. "This is Kele Valkov and Melissa Kuznetsov your new classmates".

"Hi, I'm Melissa". Melissa said waving.

"I'm Kele." I said smiling.

I took a quick scan of the room making sure there was no other red heads in sight.

"Well let me find you some seats". The teacher said looking around the class room. "Hm...Melissa, do you see the blonde haired kid in the middle?''

"Um…"

"Max, can you raise your hand please?"

The blonde hair kid raised his hand and Melissa got that look in her eyes…the look when she's found someone she's interested in…

"Oh I see him". Melissa said looking at the teacher.

"You may take the seat next to him." He said handing Lissa a worksheet and she headed to her seat, she and Max shared a smile as she sat down.

"And now for you, Ms. Valkov". The teacher said once again searching the classroom, I already found two empty seats. "Oh! Do you see the empty seat in the back?"

"Yeah". I said looking at the seat.

"You can have that one"

"Can't I just have the one in front of that one?"

"That seat is already occupied". The teacher said handing me a worksheet as I walked towards my seat.

Ten minuets in the class and I was bored; I sat at my desk drawing on my worksheet, then looking at out the window until I heard the classroom door slide open, I didn't care to look up. I was way too lazy.

"It's about time you came into class, Mr. Hiwatari". I heard the teacher say.

Then I heard footsteps in my row, then the chair in front of me moved and someone took a seat.

"Are you gonna keep looking out the window or are you gonna actually pay attention?"

Once again…that damned voice! I looked up to be staring into Kai's eyes.

"You're in this class?!" I whispered.

The one other person who class I wouldn't wanna be in this guy!

"We are seeing a lot of each other lately". Kai said smirking at me.

"…"

I looked at Melissa and she was having the time of her life giggling with Max and me…? Stuck with this evil evil jerk!

-()-()-()-()-()-

Melissa and I walked out of the classroom and ran into Rachel and Nikki. Who were walking down the hall.

"Hey! Rach! Nik!" I said waving at them.

"Kel! Lissa!" Rachel said, and then she and Nikki ran up to us.

"So how was your first day of class?" Rachel asked smiling at me.

"Horrible!" I immediately answered.

"I had fun". Melissa said looking at Max in the distance, talking to his friends.

"Yeah because you had Max for entertainment"

"Well…you had".

"Don't say it…please." I held up my hand and put my head down.

"She's sitting next to Kai". I heard Melissa whisper to Rach and Nik.

"Oh that grouch…he'll kill my day too". Rachel said laughing.

"So what do you have now? Nikki asked.

"I have music…" I said looking at my schedule.

"Me too". Lissa said looking at her schedule.

Rachel and Nikki looked at each other and smiled. "So do us!"

"Really?" I said getting happy. "Wait…is Kai in that class?"

"Nope". Rachel said holding on to her bag as we all walked to the music room.

"You guys see a lot of each other lately". Nikki said laughing.

"I know…it's a curse". I said sighing.

"It's sorta funny because the girls here fall all over for that guy". Rachel said pointing to some girls giggling because they saw Kai sitting in the lobby reading a book.

"Ugh…he's a flashy guy?" I asked giving his a face from the balcony above.

"Not really, it's just that the girls go into his whole 'loner persona'. Rachel said.

"Oh…" I said shrugging.

"Well he does hang with Ian and the guys from time to time. That's as close to anybody as he gets." Nikki said as we continued to walk to the music room.

"Hey, any of you guys got any extra eyeliner?" Rachel said looking at herself in her portable mirror.

"I think I do". I said looking into my bag. I dug my hand inside and shuffled around abit them when I looked inside I bumped into someone and ended up on the floor again…

"Hey!"

I looked at who I bumped into; It was that kid I saw when I looked out the window, the orange haired kid.

"Oh! I'm so very sorry". He said getting up and helping me to my feet, then handing me my bag.

"Thanks". I gave him a weird look...it was kinda weird to finally see a guy not like the others I met so far.

"I wasn't watching where I was going". He said smiling at me then holding out his hand. "I'm Brooklyn"

I took his hand and he brought it to his mouth and kissed it. Now I was totally freaked out. "Kele…"

"Well hope we bump into each other again, Kele". He said as he walked off.

"Weird…" I said looking at the hand he kissed, and then Melissa walked to me and wiped my hand.

"Weirdo". She said watching Brooklyn walk away.

"That guy keeps to himself too; he's more of the prince type". Rachel said shrugging and we continued to walk to the music room.

-()-()-()-()-()-

When we walked in the music room I wasn't surprised it was a giant auditorium but it was empty.

"There's no one in here." I said looking around.

"There's usually no one in here." Rachel said, laying her bag down and walking to a green and black guitar.

"Most kids who have this class skip it…" Nikki said taking her seat behind the drum set.

"That's sad, music is awesome!" Melissa said looking for a bass guitar.

"You guys can play?" I asked Rach and nik.

"Yeah we can, I was hoping you guys could maybe we could start a band or something". Rachel said as she started play a bit.

"Well, I know I can play the bass". Melissa said smiling because she finally found a bass guitar.

"I guess I'll be the singer…I'm not that good though." I said getting on stage and taking the mic.

"you rock at singing Kel!". Melissa said smiling me.

""You guys wanna see what we got?". I said smiling at them all.

The girls looked at each other and smiled. "Yeah!"

"Ok, start me off..."

I closed my eyes and searched for the peaceful place in the back of my mind as I felt the lyrics flow from my lips.

My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you

This fire rising through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you

I'm alive
I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place

The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you

I'm alive
I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

Take my hand, I give it to you
Now you owe me, all I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I believe

I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed."

I opened my eyes not realizing I was singing with my eyes closed the whole time but the first thing I saw was most of the kids in the school watching us.

"Uhh…ehem". I felt myself blush once again "hi…?"

They all started clapping for us, Rachel ran to me.

"You rock, Kele!" She said patting my back.

"Um sure? But when did all these people get in here?" They walked in when they heard the music.

Melissa walked and hugged me. "I told you she's good"

Nikki walked to us with drumsticks still in hand.

"We are an official band now!" She said with a big smile on her face.

We all looked at our random audience and bowed when I brought my face up, I saw Tala smiling at me from all the way from the back of the auditorium.

-()-()-()-()-()-

After the class I left the girls to meet with Tala.

"Of course only you would find a place like this to perform." He said poking my forehead.

"Yeah I guess, I figured this school needed some music". I said looking at him.

"What do you got now"? He said as we walked down the hall.

"I got lunch". I said looking at my schedule.

"It's that time already?" He said looking at his watch.

"Tala I thought that this was a bad school…with fist fights and stuff?" I asked.

"Where'd the hell you hear that?" He asked swinging his bag around his back now carrying it in his shoulder.

"When I first got here some girl told me the school was bad…" I said. I was really getting confused now. Who to believe?

"Well nothing is really going on but there's a rumor that so shady guy wants to take over the school or something like that". Tala said shrugging.

"But Ms. Tate is a nice lady…"

"Maybe too nice…" Tala said walking ahead of me. "You go on ahead and get lunch, I'll see you later." And just like that Tala was gone.

"Hey, Kele!" I turned to see Lissa running up to me with Max.

"Hey Lissa, hey Max!" I said waving at them.

"We're heading for the lunch room; Max wants us to meet his friends." Melissa said wrapping her arm around mines.

"Ok, let's go".

We made our way to the lunch room and the first thing that rung in my ears was a loud...

"HEY MAX OVER HERE!" A boy's voice called out.

We both turned around and saw a table with a group of kids sitting at it.

"Tyson!" Max said and walked to the table, we followed.

When we approached the table there was the boy with the big mouth, a calm looking boy with a bandana, a boy with glasses and a girl with brown hair.

"What's up?" Tyson asked. "Who are the new girls?"

"This is Melissa…" He said pointing to Melissa. "And this is Kele". He said pointing to me.

"That's Ray with the bandana, that's Kenny with the glasses and this is Hilary." Max said and we waved.

"Is there room for us?" Melissa asked looking at the table.

"Yeah, as long as there's still room for Rachel and Nikki". Tyson said.

"Oh! They sit here?" I asked as me and Lissa sat with everyone.

"Rachel and Tyson are dating!" Max said smiling.

"Really? I didn't know". Melissa said with her eyebrows raised.

"She can't resist my charms." Tyson said smiling.

"Someone's ego flew through the roof". I thought.

"Well I'm hungry; I'm going to get something to eat." I said getting up from the table and walking to the counter for food, but something caught my eye…I mean someone…

"Well if it's not the beautiful girl I ran into earlier". Brooklyn said walking up to me.

"Um…" I faked a smile. And just like that my appetite left me.

"So are you getting lunch?" He asked looking at the whole buffet of food in front of us.

"I'm not hungry..." I said nodding "I'll probably walk around the courtyard or something."

Walked past him and walked outside into the open and forever green courtyard.

"You don't like to open up to people do you?" Brooklyn asked me as he followed me.

"No not really…" I said lying down on the soft grass. "Too much work"

"Well you'll find the one person you can open up to". He said lying down next to me.

"Heh...you don't even know me…" I said turning my head towards him.

"Well that's why I'm here with you now…"

I started to think this is the 'prince' that all the other girl's see. I looked back up to the sky when my sun was blocked.

"Hey Kel, what's up?" Kai said standing over me blocking my vision of the blue sky.

"Hi, Kai". I said sitting up.

"Oh Kai It's funny seeing you here". Brooklyn said smiling.

"I was here for awhile, reading over there" Kai said pointing to a bench. "Until I saw Kele wander over here".

Ok…I was sensing some MAJOR tension between the two.

"She needs to relax, being at a new school and all and I'm pretty sure besides Rachel and Nikki no one else were gonna show her how beautiful the school was." Brooklyn said with a gentle smile.

"I'm pretty sure you have a white horse somewhere waiting 'prince charming', so go away and leave Kele alone". Kai said grabbing my hand and lifting me from the ground.

"What?" I was so confused.

"Let's go Kele". Kai said pulling me from Brooklyn and taking us to the other side of the courtyard. I yanked my arm from him.

"What's your deal?" I said angrily. I was actually really getting annoyed with this guy!

"…". Kai kept his head turned.

"Hello?" I said really annoyed.

Kai just kept his head down, backed me against the wall and slammed his hands against the wall behind me.

"Um…" My heart started racing as I felt my face go red, I kept my eyes on him as he looked at me and leaned in slowly…
