Part II: Xi-Mae's Surprise
As Matt walked home his mind kept returning to Xi-Mae and their mysterious encounter in English class. He was also thinking about the bad attitude that she had toward him, he hadn't done anything wrong but she still seemed to hate him with a fiery passion. By the time that he got back to his apartment he was starving, but as usual his dad was working late at the TV station, so he had to make his own dinner from scratch. He ate his meal splayed out on the sofa, watching some boring soap opera, it was so boring in fact, that he fell asleep.
Xi-Mae was at home in her apartment a couple of blocks away from Matt's and was also watching the same soap and also feeling bored. She got up and switched off the TV and went to her room and her computer to see if any of her old friends were online. She searched all of the usual chat rooms for anyone, but no-one was there. She checked her e-mail's, but again nothing. Xi-Mae slumped back in her chair wondering if any of her friends missed her at all, it just seemed like no-one cared about her. She had made no new friends at her first day at her new school and was feeling very lonely right about now. Her eyes fell closed, when suddenly a bright light lit up her eyelids, but when she opened her eyes the light was gone. On the desk beside her computer was a funny-shaped white contraption and a pretty necklace-thing with a dark blue clip inside it.
"What the ... ?" She wondered as she looked at the things on her desk. She picked up the necklace and put it around her neck. It seemed to fit perfectly and felt just right sitting there. As she looked at it more closely she saw that there was a symbol on the dark blue slide, it looked like a star with triangle-shaped prongs coming from the end of each point, it was very pretty. Now she didn't have a clue about the white thing though, she gazed at it from every angle, but still couldn't make anything of it. By this time she was feeling very tired, so got changed into her pajamas but still kept the necklace on underneath her clothes, she felt as if she could never take it off. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.
The next morning Matt awoke with a start and then remembered that it was another school day, granted it was Friday, but still another school day. He made himself some cereal for breakfast, got changed and combed his floppy blond hair and wandered out of the apartment. On the way to school he met Tai and walked the rest of the way with him, as usual he was full of life and seemed happy to be going to school.
"Did you see that program on TV last night?" Tai was asking, "It was so cool, there were ... Matt, are you listening?"
"What? Um, yeah, I think." His mind was somewhere else and he didn't want to hear Tai's story. "Just keep talking Tai, I'm listening." He lied.
"If you're not listening I'm not gonna talk." He said turning his back on his friend, as he walked ahead of him. By the time both boys got to school, they were talking again and ready for first lesson, which was English. Matt came in and sat down next to Xi-Mae who was already there, and Tai sat in his new seat on the table the other side of Xi-Mae. This lesson was about discussing poetry from the book in front of them with their partners, their partners being the people sitting next to them. In Matt's case that was Xi-Mae.
"Lets just try to get along with each other for one lesson, Ok?" He said to her, hoping that she would at least try.
"Fine, whatever." She said moodily.
"Look, I know you don't have any friends here yet and I'm just trying to make an effort."
"I appreciate your concern, but I'm fine. Let's just look at the poem." When she opened her book her pencil fell to the floor. As she bent down to retrieve it, the necklace-thing fell over her shirt and dangled in front of her. When she came up again with her pencil, the necklace was over her baby-blue shirt instead of under it, where Matt could see it clearly. As soon as he saw it, his eyes widened in surprise as she was wearing a tag and crest around her neck.
