Chapter 2 is up! Two chapter's in one day is a lot of work for me. Hopefully I can keep up the fast and good work...
Please R&R!
It's lunch time on my second day at Rikkai. So far, nothing much exciting has happened, though I can't expect much until the others are here. Oh the joy, insanity, and chaos the school would be in…
I looked at my school bought lunch, then around the lunch room, and just sighed, "Being the new kid is too lonely…"
Looking for an empty seat, I found no vacant tables, but just decided to take any light load; throwing out what was my lunch, a cheeseburger with chips and a drink, and just took the chips and drink. I wouldn't finish the lunch anyways, I'm not hungry… I should've just bought the snacks instead of a whole meal, darn it. I wish I'd think before I did anything, but that's so not me. That's why I need my friends with me…darn it.
I walked out the cafeteria, and made my way to a wall nearest the outdoor eating grounds, because the seats were occupied like in the inside. Sitting down, I take out my iPod and shuffle my music. I snack on my snacks, and just relax.
A shadow ruins my good mood, and I open one eye and see Kririhara. Yeah, I memorized all their name, but it'd be so out of character for me to call them by name.
"What do you want?" I blurt out more rudely then I intended.
"We- the regulars and me- were wondering why you walked out throwing out your lunch," Kirihara simply replied.
"Hmm…I wonder why myself…" collecting my thoughts, I speak, "I don't have any where to sit, and I'm not that hungry…Or at least I don't eat too much."
Kirihara just stared at me, and I sighed, "Go away if you're done. Don't just stand there looking like an idiot. Makes me look like one..."
"...Even if that's true."
Finding myself sitting at the same table all the regulars were at, I sigh. How do I get myself into these situations? Darn me for being too nice sometimes, or is it I'm easily persuaded into things?
I ignore the boys, and taking out and opening my vibrating phone.
1 New Text Message
I open the text, it was from one of my friends in America. I read the text, and laugh at every little thing:
"Hey hey hey! Mi, what's up?" I read aloud, just enough for me and the two next to me; Kirihara and Marui to hear, gaining their attention, "We'll be in Japan earlier than expected, say a whole week-ish ahead! We- everyone else and me-'ll meet up after school!"
"Hey, Koyabashi," Marui asks, "Who is that?"
"Santa Claus," I roll my eyes, then giggle at my sarcasm. I still had it, I'm so proud of myself.
I then explain everything to everyone, for once Marui spoke, everyone stopped what they were doing, "My friends and I are moving to Japan, that's why I'm here, just 'cause, and they were supposed to come next week, but they're coming earlier…like today earlier."
"All your friends?" Kirihara asked.
"Of course not you dolt! There's too many of us. Maybe about three or four more people are coming."
Kirihara sulked at my insult, and I just ignored him. He got a bit more angry with this, and I still ignored him. Hey, I annoyed all my other friends, I'm used to making them mad…Just usually they would hit me. Depends on the 'snappy remark', as I call it.
Taking out my iPod, after putting it away to walk with Kirihara and sit and, what I thought would happen, talk. Everyone just stares, then slowly return to doing their business, whatever they did before my text and explanation. Everything was just a boring and, what people call 'normal' school day.
Walking home (after the bus ride), or more like skipping, I sing along to my music, stumbling with the Korean rap, then give up after sometime. I stop at the neighborhood park, and see a group of rather loud people circling around something, I walk up recognizing some, and curiosity just taking complete control over me.
"Hey Kat, what's going on?" I tap the long haired brunette, one of my many best friends, on the shoulder.
"Mi!" 'Kat'sumi Watanabe exclaims, then answers my question, "Well, everyone's dancing. That's why there's music."
"Oh, ok." I calmly say, then given some time to process the new-found information, I call out, "Kat! Everyone! Hey, welcome to Japan!"
Everyone turns and looks up, or down since I'm [so] short, and waves and/or greets me. They then return to the dance circle, moving to the beat of the music, and watching the dancers in the middle. Three others confront me.
"Kev, Jonny, Ari!" I greet them with a silly grin and high five, then laugh.
"Hey," Jonny (or Jonathan), responds coolly, and I laugh.
"Nice try," I say, "Anyways, you three and Kat are attending my school?"
"Yeah," M'Ari'ssa simply responds. Just like the boring person she is.
"Hehe, that's good. Ari-baa(1) will make sure we don't burn down, or destroy the school!"
And that's it!
Ari-baa: The 'honorific' [-baa] comes from Obaa, meaning grandmother, and it means "Old lady". So Ari-baa would mean something like "Old Lady Ari"
