To say the least, Iris was not happy. Right when she got out of the car students who had taken notice of her would roll their eyes at the girl's clothing. Someone had actually openly scoffed at her seeing someone so… different. Iris had ignored them perfectly fine only listening to her music and following Victor. Someone even said something to Iris, when she saw a cruel look and a twitch of smirk on the persons face Iris just gave them a blank look her eyes avoiding all emotion. When doing so the person was surprise, Iris pulled her headphones back waiting for the person to say something, it was pathetic to say something when a person couldn't hear it.
Victor had came back to her side grabbing his cousins wrist, dragging her away from the person. When they got to the office Iris got her schedule and everything else that will be needed. She gave a small grin when she saw she had a music class but groan when she saw she has Chemistry… well better than having anatomy. Iris continue to walk down the locker filled halls looking at the numbers closely trying to find her own.
Iris made sure to keep her headphones down to make sure anyone wanted to speak to her or have the balls to go up to her face and make a crude comment. When she had found her locker she realized it was next to a blonde girl and a very tall dark hair boy. Iris gave a small shrug and ignoring Victor's worried look. Iris ignored the others that surrounded her mostly determined to unlock her- her locker.
After five tries Iris got angry and punched her locker.
"Jiminy Cricket just open already you stupid thing!"
"Wow, you didn't curse!" "Victor…"
"Yes?"
"Shut up."
He just gave a chuckle. In return Iris stuck out her tongue at him. He gave me a look that said 'very mature of you,' and in return Iris flipped him off and continue to mess with her locker. And finally it open.
"Oh thank baby Jesus it finally open!" Victor laughed at his cousin while she put her things away not even noticing her locker neighbors have been watching her the entire time. One looking at her with curiosity while the other looked at her much annoyance.
"Yeesh, who ever had this locker last does not know the meaning of cleanliness…" She muttered while picking some trash the was left behind. Dropping her bag on the floor she continue to clean the ripped and wadded up papers. After she made sure she had it all the trash the redhead went to a trash can that was near the corner and threw everything away. Dusting her hands off she grabbed her bag off the floor and putting everything away.
"What do you have first Iris?" Victor asked after sometime of silence.
"I have english first, chem second, guitar third, Geometry fourth, lunch, World History fifth, and then…." Iris stood up straight looking rather confuse.
"What is my last period?" She question.
Victor chuckled at his cousin once again seeing complete confusion on the redhead features. Her nose wrinkled in distaste not remembering her schedule perfectly.
"Iris, I only asked for first period not the others." Victor chuckled out again. Iris gave a him a look of annoyance.
"Yes but then you would ask about my other classes that I have after each one. I only wish to get it out of the way now before I forget. Now then…. What the hell do have for 6th?" She muttered grabbing her stacks of paper she be needing to sign for the office. Looking over her schedule she gave a groan. Victor looked at her confusion.
"I have gym…. GYM! Of all the classes I had to get gym!"
Victor looked confuse at this. His cousin has always enjoyed sports like baseball, tennis, football and basketball. Heck she even enjoys kickboxing, and has a brown belt in karate.
"I thought you enjoyed gym?" Victor asked.
Iris gave a small huff, glaring at the paper as if had done something wrong to her.
"No, in matter of fact I hate school gyms. The teacher are turd nuggets and students complain way too much if things don't go their way. There is no such thing as good sportsmanship in school unless there are jocks with a good heart and know when to back down." Iris started rather bluntly.
Victor stared at his cousin for the longest moment and finally said,
"Turd nuggets? Really?"
Iris couldn't help but laugh. Her two locker neighbors seemed surprised by her bluntness and her laughter. Her laugh turned a few heads, some of them scoffed at annoyance while other seemed rather curious of the red head. After a few seconds of laughing Iris just smiled kindly at her cousin.
"Victor dear, never say such things again. It sounds weird coming from you."
"Whatever you say Iris."
The redhead merrily grin at her dark haired cousin. Grabbing her books she will be needing for her first two periods she shut her locker closed tight making sure no ones would dare try to take her stuff. After making sure everything is in place she grabbed her cousin's sleeve and giving a tug.
"Ready." Victor rolled his eyes at his cousin's childish behavior. Slowly the two began to walk once again going to their first periods. Victor, being the kind cousin he is, showed Iris were her class was first but also pointed out were her other classes were just incase he couldn't meet up with her during passing period. Iris made mental notes were to go and which hall would be quicker for which class to go to. She began mumbling to herself, saying things which mark which hall is which and were certain rooms are at.
Students who passed by her gave her odd looks as though she was insane. Victor gave them glares which startled them knowing that the male Frankenstein never cared what people thought of him or his friends but to see him sending glares because they thought something was wrong with the new redhead student was just baffling to them all. Iris paid no attention this, she just continue to mumble to herself looking at the details in the halls hoping it will help her not to get lost.
"Victor!" A raspy voice yelled out making Iris jump a little but in surprise.
She blinked several times realizing that there are other people around her. Looking up she saw Victor waving at someone.
"Hello Edgar, how are you?" Victor asked. Iris looked over to who his cousin was waving at. To say the least she was surprise to see a boy around her age with a hunch body, very long fingers and some other features that seemed off about him. Iris blinked several times, even though he seemed odd to Iris he looked… adorable.
"Oh good. Good. Just hearing people talk again. Heard that we now have a new "Strange Girl" with red hair. Which I do believe is your cousin right there." Edgar pointed at Iris with one his long index finger. Iris tilted her head giving a mock pout.
"Ahh people here are so nice, already judging me by my looks. Well woopidoo they can go to hell for all I care." Iris said rather boredly not caring for the glares she was getting she just gave them a blank dead look that rather frighten them.
Edgar looked at the redhead with surprise. When Victor told him about his cousin he did not expect her to be so… well blunt. Most girl usually held their tongue well except for Elsa.
"Any who, yes I am the new student. Iris is my name, nice to meet you." Iris stuck out her hand waiting for Edgar to shake it. The said boy looked surprised, when new people meet him they usually avoid him for how he looks. Slowly he brought his hand up and grasped her giving a gentle shake. Iris smiled brightly at him.
"I'm Edgar." The hunch teen introduced himself. Iris let go first and began to look around the halls once more trying to remember every little detail.
"Uh Victor, is your cousin alright?" Edgar ask seeing that Iris began to mumble to herself while looking at everything blankly. Victor looked at his cousin then back at Edgar.
"Yeah, she's fine. She's trying to remember the details of halls. Don't worry about it." Edgar gave a hesitant nod and began to talk to Victor as they walked to Iris' class. When they got to class they spoke with english teacher named Ms. Norris. Ms. Norris gave a syllabus for the class and told her where she will be seated, which happen to be the back of the class near the window. Most students would be happy about such a thing but Iris did not. She rather be in a shady part of the classroom where the sun will not hit her and distract her at the corner of her eye. But she sucked it up and sat at the desk waving goodbye to her cousin.
The english teacher caught her up explaining they are reading Macbeth already but mostly giving a quick history on Shakespeare before they can actually read it. The redhead only nod getting out one of her notebooks that she brought with her opening up to a fresh page ready to take notes. Iris sat idly around ignoring the students who enter the room. Getting bored she began to make random doodles on her paper, not being an drawing artist most of her drawings were mostly little stick people with musical notes around them.
"Good morning class." Iris paused her doodling and glanced up watching the teacher up front. Finally noticing her surroundings the classroom was filled up with students. Iris blinked realizing she had spaced out when the bell had rung. Sitting up Iris waited for the teacher to continue to talk.
"Now I would like to introduce Iris Frankenstein who will be in our class. Iris would you like to introduce yourself?" Ms. Norris looked over to Iris who gave a blank stare. Students turned to look at the redhead and broke out in whisper when they heard the name Frankenstein.
Iris ignored them and slowly stand from her seat.
"Hello."
Everyone went silent when she began to speak. Iris took a breath and slowly let it out.
"I am Iris Frankenstein cousin of Victor Frankenstein. I'm a musician mostly play guitar then any other instrument. I'm easy to talk to if you want to get to know me." Iris shrugged. "I rather have people to talk to me then just judge me on my image so please keep the comments to yourself." Iris stated rather bluntly not caring if it sounded rude. The redhead looking around and was surprise to see a long blonde hair girl wearing a white sundress with pink belt wrapped around her slim waist. What caught most of Iris' attention was the girl's eyes, how big and wide they are with curiosity and wonder but also with a hint fear.
Iris tilted her head and smiled softly at the girl. The blonde girl seemed rather surprised by this but smiled shyly in return.
"Sooo any questions?" Iris asked rather boredly.
One hand went up by a girl. Iris nod her head to her giving her permission to ask something.
"Is your hair naturally red?" The girl asked rather snootily like. Iris gave her annoyed look.
"Uh yeah, its actually is my natural hair color."
Another hand went up by a boy this time. And without given permission he asked his question.
"Why are you dressed like you're about to go to a circus?" Snickers went out through the room.
Iris gave him an unimpressed looked.
"Why are you dressed like you're going to a funeral? Got a date with a corpse?" Iris asked calmly looking at the boy with a blank look.
Some snickered at this, other well in shock. The teacher looked rather uncomfortable what has been said but kept quiet slightly curious of the colorful student. Iris looked around waiting for other questions but was surprised to see it was the blonde who raised her hand. Iris gave a nod at her.
"What kind of music do you play?" She asked softly actually curious of the girl. Iris couldn't help but smile at the idea of talking about music.
"I play rock, alternative at times, sometimes techno and country and on rare times classical." Iris looked somewhat daze now wanting to listen or play something, either one she wanted to do it, now.
"Will you being playing outside of class?" She asked with much interest. Iris thought about it and nodded.
"I was going to bring one of my guitars today so I will have my entertainment but I was told not to by my cousin. Said something about getting to know the school…" Iris waved her hand in the air trying to remember the reason Victor gave her but couldn't remember. The blonde girl's eyes seem to grow wider with a flash of nervousness but disappeared quickly as it came.
"I would like to hear you play…" Iris just smiled brightly at this.
"Well since the lady ask I will play." Iris gave a small nod. Iris had forgotten about the other classmates. They stared at her as though she was the most strangest person they have ever met other than weird girl who was actually talking the first time in class in God knows how long. Ms. Norris beamed with happiness to see Anne actually speaking and interacting with the student. Ever since the whole ordeal with the pets coming to life or becoming creatures Anne had kept mostly to herself since then. Always being picked on with no friend in the world to be with, now hopefully that will change.
"Well since that is out of the way we will being doing more research on Shakespeare…"
After an hour of class Iris packed up her stuff and looked at her schedule. Chemistry with Ms. Stacey. Shrugging she grabbed her things and was about to leave the classroom only to turn around to see the blonde student. Iris blinked several times in surprise.
"Hello." Iris said quite shyly.
"Hello Iris. My name is Anne Chambers, its nice to meet you." Anne said rather politely. Iris smiled at the girl feel a welcoming air from the blonde unlike the other students in her class. Anne gave a wistful smile at the new girl.
"Well its nice to meet you Anne." Iris said cheerfully with a grin. Anne gave a kind smile that look it hadn't been seen in some time. Iris looked at the girl, so this was the infamous "Weird Girl". So far, Iris liked the girl. The blonde seem rather polite wanting a chance to get to know the new girl.
"Who do you have next?" Anne asked.
"Chem with this Stacey person." Iris muttered looking down at her schedule once more. Anne smiled even more.
"I have that class next as well. Would you like to walk with me there? I could show you the way." Anne offered. Iris looked at her with slight curiosity. She very much wanted to go with the blonde and get to know her. So far the blonde didn't seem like a distant person who wanted to avoid people it look more like she needed a friend. Iris looked up at the door, not seeing her cousin anywhere.
"Yeah I would like that." Iris turned back to Anne with a grin.
Anne smiled back. And with that the two girls left the classroom not noticing that stairs they were earning. It was a beginning of weird but strangely, beautiful friendship.
