Chapter 2

The bus ride to the high school was awkwardly quiet and the only noise to be made was when the bus would hit a bump on the road. Overall it was silent. I took this time to think about high and all its "wonders" I it supposedly holds. Well that's how they always view high schools in the movies. There's supposed to be Jocks with the Jocks, Cheerleaders with the Cheerleaders, Nerds with the Nerds, and the Awkwards with the Awkwards. Then I wondered, where would I fit in? I definitely knew I wasn't going to hang with the cheerleaders and I'm smart but I don't think I would fit with the nerds. Would I be with the "Awkwards"? Or maybe I should just sit alone I was never the social type anyways.

"My name is Kori, what is yours friend?" the red head interrupted my thoughts.

"Raven," I spoke a little above a whisper. I was staring at her slightly confused on why she was already referring to me as her friend and we haven't even had a real conversation.

"That is a glorious name friend Raven! I mean… I do hope we are friends because it would be splendid for you to be my first friend! Oh your probably wondering why I am speaking strangely, that is because I am not from this country. I was born in Bordeaux, France and raised there until I was fourteen but 2 years before I moved here, to Virginia, I took English classes and I learned many words from the English language. It is actually quite harder than you may think because…" She babbled on and on.

Now while she was babbling on about learning the English language I was thinking about three things. Whether or not to interrupt her and say "Hey uh… Kori could you please shut up because I don't care about anything that is coming out of your mouth right now." Second, was when was she going to take a breath? And the third thought was, how long was this bus trip? It was supposed to be like a nine minute ride and so far it felt like an hour had gone by.

"…Do you agree that those words are not simple to learn?" She asked me.

"Uh could u say that again?" I asked dumbfounded and slightly annoyed that this girl was still talking to me about how complex the English language Kori could begin explaining again the bus came to a sharp halt that caused everyone on the bus to be slammed into the seat in front of them. I quickly stood up and speed walked to the bus doors only to be stopped by none other than, Kori.

"Friend Raven you wish to not wait for me?" She frowned at me. She seemed upset and ignored that I had not waited for her.

Now let me be honest here, Kori was nice and all but me and her are very two different people. She talked and talked while I'm quiet, she's an enthusiastic type of person while I'm…I'm…calm. I was slightly hoping that after the bus ride I would rush out of there and ditch her but of course she wasn't letting me go that quickly. Another thing was what was up with her and calling me "friend Raven" who calls people "friend so and so". But let's not forget she is from another country.

"Oh yeah um I'll just wait outside for you OK " I said feeling bad that I left her there thinking she would walk with me into the school but I could also feel a major headache beginning in my head.

Instantly her face brightened and she smiled another one of her huge smiles that took up half her face. "Splendid, I shall meet you out there friend!" She jumped.

I turned around and continued on out of the bus so I wouldn't hold up anymore teens that were eager to get this day over with. As I stepped out I was amazed by the scene I was staring. The high school was… big…no… huge! It almost looked like a college campus. There were two courtyards in the front that had had a smooth path in between that lead to the school's grand staircase. On the sides of the staircase there were two small royal designed fountains. The design of the high school was modern and had thousands of glass windows that covered most of the building. In the center of the building there was a colossal sized metallic banner that read "Welcome to Jump City High School."

"Whoa," I whispered with my mouth gaped at the somewhat scary but fantastic scenery.

"You could say that again!" came an awe from the right side of me that. I turned my head to the side to see who had said that but I quickly flinched backwards and gasped when I was met with a boy whose face was practically in my face. The boy was about my height and had blonde hair with blue eyes and had hints of brown freckles on his cheeks.

"Whoops, sorry I didn't know I was so close to you," he blushed turning an embarrassing pink.

"Uh no problem just don't do that again… please," I muttered

"I won't. Um…so…well…I guess I should introduce myself right? Well my name is Garfield Logan, or you could just call me BB short for Beast Boy."

Well there is chapter 2! so far we have met two people so who are we going to meet next? I should have the next chapter up in like ... 3 days or so. As always leave any types of reviews whether they are constructive reviews or sweet reviews ... I love them! P.S. you could see the picture of the "Jump High School" on my profile page just to help out with visualization.
