Chapter 2:New Life,No Memories
Wonk,Wonk,Wonk
I slapped the button on the alarm,groaning out loud because of the fact that I have to start at my new school today,oh joy."Chris!!!"yelled out a voice"Wake up,time for our new school" wow. even after about 14 years I still haven't gotten used to how loud Naomi yells. Naomi is my sister,she is about three months older than me,and she'll never let me forget it. She has black hair that lays down her shoulders,green eyes,and a temper that rises pretty quickly. I got out of my bed and after a quick shower got dressed,then looked at my appearance in the mirror. I,like my sister,had black hair that I combed so it all lay flat except in the front where it curved so my forehead showed a little,I had light blue eyes and tan skin,and unlike my sister I was almost calm all the time. After grabbing some baggy black jeans,and a gray shirt I opened my door and started down the hallway making my way to the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and smelt eggs and slightly burnt toast,which meant my sister was cooking. See my parents are new veterinarians at a place called the gardens,which is a amusement park/zoo. Anyway I went to the table and ate some of the eggs then drank some O.J. Naomi and I walked out the door about 10 minutes later and headed toward the bus stop to start the day of school. When we arrived at the spot the school said we would be picked up at,
we found we were not the only people at the stop,there was a kid that was pretty tall and athletic looking kinda solid. He looked over at us and came over"I'm Jake"said the kid,Naomi being the person she is replied fast and recklessly,not caring who the hell he was."I'm Naomi and this is my brother,Chris"Naomi told the Jake kinda rudely. The guy took it well and just replied "Nice to meet you"to Naomi and turned to me"Hey,you guys new?" he asked me sounding like he knew,but just wanted to be a friend,wow a new low for me,I've been here five minutes and someones pitying me. I thought it over,do I swallow my pride and just answer yes,or tell him to bug off,I decide to swallow."Yea,were new our parents are working at the gardens as veterinarians,and sorry about my sister she just doesn't enjoy moving at all,so she's a little grouchy"I apologized for my sister who, may I note,was talking to some girls a little ways down.
He looked at me and said"I have a ..friend who's parents are vets,one of them works at the gardens"
what are the chances of that,I asked myself thoughtfully. Then the bus pulled up and he sat beside a Hispanic looking guy,and I decided to sit beside Naomi.
Marco
The bus pulled up to Jake's stop and he sat by me,he looked like he was thinking about something and that's when I noticed two new kids at his stop,one a girl with black hair down to her shoulders,green eyes and pale skin,and a guy who had black hair that lay flat except in the front where it curved so the middle of his forehead showed a little, light blue eyes,broad shoulders,tan skin and decent amount of muscle. I turned to Jake and said"Who are the two new kids at your stop" my voice seemed to snap him out of his daze,"Oh,the girl is Naomi and the guy is Chris"Jake told me I thought about the names,and they seemed to fit those two "What are they like"I asked,because lets face it,we had nothing else to do or talk about."The girl has a bad temper,kind of like Rachel,and the guy seems kind of calm,like he's not a leader,but someone you can relie on to be there and help"Jake told me,and how he got all of that from one conversation still eludes me,but whatever the bus had just pulled up to the school and it was time for some boring stuff before I get to go home.
Chris
Naomi and I walked into the school and went to the office for our schedules,as soon as we got to the office we told the lady at the desk we were new and she asked for our full names so we answered
"Naomi Desten"said Naomi and I told them mine as well"Christopher Desten" I told the lady and she pulled out a file and handed us two pieces of paper. We walked out of the office and the hallways were empty,so I am guessing that classes had already started,Naomi's class was in a different part of the school than mine so we separated and I went down a hallway that was going to lead to my class,when as I walked by a door I saw two kids messing with a third one that had blonde hair that was messy looking,and looked like he dreamed a lot,I assumed that the two guys were bullies and the kid was the victim,so I walked up to the guys and said"Let him go" the bullies turned around to see had interrupted their 'session' and looked at me"Hey kid if you know whats good for ya,scram"said one that looked like he was an angry pig. Then Piggy,as I will call him till I know his name,tries to shove me,well knowing karate and if you remember I said I was a almost always calm,but I had a little of my sisters temper. I grabbed his arm and put it behind his back and let some pain sink into that thick skull of his,and since he has such a thick skull I repeated myself to the other guy"Let.Him.Go."I told him letting all of my anger at the bullies show. Well the other one who was apparently smarter than his friend let the kid go and decide to leave the room,which now that I look at it was a bathroom. I let go of Piggy and he ran for it also,then I turned toward the Kid and asked him his name,"Tobias"he told me"and thanks for getting them away",he didn't seem to comfortable with the fact that I had to scare them away but whatever,"I couldn't just let them do something to you,could I?" I asked him, Tobias looked at me and smiled."What class do you have next?" Tobias asked me,cause I guess he had never seen me around,which he hadn't."Algebra"I told him,he nodded and said me too,then he started to leave and I followed him to a classroom,which I assumed to be Algebra,and told the teacher that he had slipped and that I had helped him out,well the teacher nodded and said we should try not to be late again. Tobias went towards the back row and sat down in an empty seat,while I sat beside him. Then the teacher started to drone and well the day went in a blur as did the next six days,and pretty much it was wake up,bus,stopping bullies,school,homework,and then hanging out with Tobias. It was the seventh day that was abnormal,I woke up went to bus then school,we got out and I did my homework,then Tobias asked me if I wanted to go to the mall,sometimes I wished I had said no.
A/N:Marco sees more of him I know,like the muscles but Chris was preoccupied with a new town and he'll start recognizing Marco soon and hope you like how I entered him in the story by using Tobias.
