People from Paris? They're insane.

No lie, I saw this kid that was in purple and had a purple spot in his hair. Was he high? He saw me glancing at him and came toward me, "Hey. You must be the new kid!" Well, at least he was friendly.

"Um, yeah." I coughed a bit and added, "Are you aware that you have a purple-"

"Shirt? Yeah. I know. I love purple, it's sexy isn't it?" ... Was I really supposed to answer that? "Well, you don't have to say anything. I know I'm beautiful." He did a bit of a pose, laughed, and said, "So, what's your name, new guy?"

"I'm Jeremie. Jeremie Belpois. I moved from Mulhouse." He shook my hand harshly.

"I'm Odd." I cocked my head- Why yes, yes he was Odd, "No, seriously. I get that a lot. My name really is Odd. Odd Della-Robbia if you must know." He blew on his nails and rubbed them against his shirt, "I'm pretty much the undercover heart breaker 'round here. I could hook you up with anyone. Just name her..." He gave me a smirk, "or him... if your pendulum swings that way."

Really, now?

"Oh- well, no, I don't really..."

"Those are huge glasses." He stole my eye-glasses off my face and put them on himself. He laughed, "Dude! Every thing's so blurry!"

"You'll ruin your eye-sight." I warned him. He said he had perfect eye-sight and nothing could ever interfere with his 'extreme awesomeness'.

Is he high? You've got to tell me he's high.

Eventually, he had his fun with my glasses and returned them, "Well New-kid, do you want a tour around or something? You should be glad you came on Sunday- no classes today. We can chill out the entire day." He wormed his hand on my shoulder and asked, "Where do you want to go first?"

"Well- I was sort of wondering where the library is and..." I began.

His face lightened up, "The cafeteria? Oh, yeah. It's right this way."

Oh my god. Not only are they insane? They're high too. And for a guy dressed in purple (and I'm positive he was hitting on me) he was actually pretty strong. He was dragging me toward the caferetia.

I knew where it was, thank you very much.

It's the biggest building between my dorms and the la-la land dorms on the left. I don't know what rooms they are, so... yeah.

He stopped at a table where a young couple was practically eating each other's faces off, "Excuse them." Odd apologized and slapped the boy's back, "Hey, Ulrich. I found the new kid, I'm showing him around, say hi."

So called Ulrich rubbed his back and stopped kissing his girlfriend to look at me, "Hey. I'm Ulrich- knuckle-head here Odd told you that." He had dirt brown hair and his eyes looked tired, "Have a great time here okay?"

The girl faked a cough and he added, "Oh, yeah. This is my girlfriend- Sissi." She had black hair and was dressed rather... um... revealingly? I waved to her and she flirtingly waved back.

Um, no, sweetheart, no. Don't do that.

"Hey, hey. Do you know where Yumi is?" Odd asked to his friend. He shrugged and Odd kept pestering, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, Odd."

"Aw, you know, don't you, Ulrich?"

"I'm not her keeper."

"You sure would like to be, wouldn't you?"

Ulrich punched Odd's shoulder as he flushed a great crimson. Sissi sneered and pulled her boyfriend back to her lips- and they were back to making out in less than a minute.

"They're gross, aren't they?" Odd had pulled me out of the cafeteria, and we were heading toward the gym, "You're going to meet William and Yumi, too. Once I find them."

I gagged, "Are they another couple?"

Odd started laughing hysterically, "No! William sure wishes, though! They're one year older than us, so we usually look for them as 'William and Yumi'. To be honest, it's pretty clear that Ulrich and Yumi have this thing for each other."

"Well, he didn't look real happy with Sissi all over him."

Odd shook his head, "She's such a whore."

I hummed, no really wanting to add on to that. We had reached the gym, and found so called 'Yumi' and 'William' running around the gym.

"They do track." Odd explained- which made sense of the random running, "Hey! Hey! Guess what guys? I found the new-kid!"

This guy knows New-kid isn't my name, right?

"Oh, hey!" The boy just waved to me and continue to chase the girl around the gym. I could tell it was more out of desire than determination. The girl, when running in my direction, slowed to a stop and shook my hand.

"Hey, I'm a Yumi. Nice to meet you." She was out of breath and her black hair was pulled back into a pony-tail, "Where'd you move from?"

"Mulhouse." I answered softly. I must admit- Yumi was beautiful. Her slightly slanted eyes gave away her nationality, "Are you Japanese?"

She gasped, smiled, and hugged me, "You're the first person ever to ask me if I was Japanese! Every one automatically guesses Chinese."

I slowly hugged her back, a smile on my face too, "Oh- um. Lucky guess, I suppose. I can't tell a different like every one else."

"Japanese are the better looking ones." She informed, and ended the embrace, "If you ever need any help, let me know, okay? I wouldn't trust Odd, here." Odd happened to be playing with his cellphone when Yumi pointed to him, "This is William."

But it wasn't in the gym anymore, so I just shrugged.

"He must've gone to change already." Muttered Yumi. My goodness, did I mention how pretty she was? Her skin was damp in sweat, and her chocolate eyes gave a friendly glow. But, like most boys, I couldn't stop my wandering eyes to her breasts. They were perky and mature, jerking out from her shirt. When she turned back to me, I immediately looked into her eyes, "Well, I hope to see you around, what grade are you?"

"Sophomore."

"Ah. I'm Junior."

"So I've heard."

She smiled and waved goodbye to me as she went to change.

Odd came up from behind me and did the arm-on-my-shoulder thing again, "Isn't she pretty? I gotta warn you though, she's crazy about Ulrich- and vise versa. She's really nice, though. If you learn one word of Japanese? She'll be your best friend for the rest of your life."

"I know Konnichiwa. Does that count?"

He chuckled, "Probably not."

XxX"

An hour later, Odd had showed me everything he could've possibly showed me. The parking lots- the student parking lot and the teacher parking lot, the science wing, the mathematics wing, the foreign language wing, the thin forest on the west side, the girls dorms, the boys dorms, his dorm (which he shares with Ulrich), my own dorm, Yumi's dorm, and William's dorm.

Along with the gym, and cafeteria, you know.

"Hey, thanks for showing me around everywhere." I was really thankful he had showed me. I would've looked like a loser wandering around campus the next morning- having no idea where to go.

"Oh, sure thing. Dinner's in like ten minutes." He informed me.

I shrugged, "Don't you have friends to eat with?"

"Yeah, the people I made you meet? They weren't just random people I know. They are my friends." He took my hand- my hand- and pulled me to the cafeteria.

God, is he interested in me? How do I tell a guy that I'm not really... you know... into that?

Everyone I had just met were already huddled at a table near the window. Yumi waved us over. I wanted to run away. I had never been face-to-face with such a pretty girl. I was afraid I was going to say something stupid like 'I pop balloons to scare babies!' or 'I lived n Jupiter till I was seven'.

All the guys out there, you know what I'm talking about, right? When you're confronting with a pretyt girl, you just start saying stuff? Yeah, that's what it's like.

Well, now that I think about it, I'm sure it happens to girls too-- you know, to cute boys and, erm- anyway...

"Hey! It's the new-kid!" Ulrich smiled up at me. Sissi wasn't hanging on to him, and he looked somewhat relieved.

"Where's your girlfriend?" I asked, curious.

He pointed to a table of girls a couple tables down from us, "She hates Odd with all her being, so she eats with her girlfriends over there." He sighed and rubbed his temples, "I'm only dating her because if I said no, her father would've killed me."

"Her dad's the principal." Informed Yumi.

Ohh- all this was finally making sense!

"What do you guys do for fun around here?"

"Soccer." Answered Ulrich.

"I spar." Yumi said.

"Run around." William added.

"Play video games." Odd stated.

I raised an eyebrow, "That sounds fun." Really, I wasn't interested in any of that. I was the type of person that would rather be reading a book than playing video games.

When I bought my lunch- I realized something very important.

The only thing weirder than the people here?

Was the food.

And from that day forth- I either went off campus for lunch, or brought it.
