Chapter 3
I woke up groggily to my alarm clock buzzing really loudly. I groaned and pounded on it, hitting the snooze button. "K!" I called.
No answer.
"B!" I called.
Still no answer. I rubbed my eyes, yawned and looked around. "Sarah?" I called weakly.
No meows.
I'm at Kadic, yesterday was real, and I was stuck here. I groaned and put my face in my hands. "What am I going to do?"
I sighed and walked to the closet. It was full of my many multi colored Cali Girl short sleeved hoodies and plenty of denim skirts and my favorite pair of beat up white shoes. I smiled to myself, grabbing a blue Cali Girl hoodie, lacing up my shoes, brushing my hair and pulling it into a pony tail.
I didn't bother with makeup because I never do. I just make sure my face is clean. I grabbed my backpack, cell phone, laptop, and walked out the door.
I had my map and my schedule in my hands, so it was pretty easy to tell I was new. But, everyone was in a clique already, so no one seemed to notice me much.
I grabbed a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. Holding my tray, I tried my hardest to keep it steady and not spill anything.
Unfortunately for me, while turning to a table, a boy ran right into me, causing me to slip, and have milk, cereal, and juice spill all over me.
"Are you OK?" he asked me. I finally got a good look at him, he was wearing a purple hoodie, a pink tank top underneath, purple pants, and red shoes. His hair was gravity defiant with a purple splotch in the middle. He held his hand out to me. "Are you OK?" he repeated.
I grabbed his hand, and he pulled me up, "I'm OK…mostly." I smiled weakly, "I'm Ki-"
I was cut off by the bell ringing, "I have to go." He said winking at me.
Slowly, the kids in the cafeteria left, and cereal was still slipping off my face. I ran to my room and quickly pulled on a green Cali Girl hoodie, a darker denim skirt, and I raced out the door and ran to my first class.
I opened the door while the teacher was in the middle of a lecture, "Hello." She said, "Class, this is our new student."
I walked to the front of the room and said, "I'm sorry I'm late but I had trouble-"
My teacher cut me off, "It's alright. Students often find their first day to be difficult. I'm Mrs. Hertz, and would you care to introduce yourself to the class?"
I nodded and faced the class. I saw Jeremie and the boy from this morning. "My name is Kitty Genevieve Hanson, but everyone calls me Kitty or Kitten."
"That's hardly what I call a name!" A girl called. She was wearing a purple top and blue jean capris.
My eyes narrowed, "Well, I don't really care. I bet your name isn't much better." Actually, I wasn't sure, but I was hoping I'd be able to make fun of it somehow.
"Now girls, settle. Kitty, please sit next to Odd. He's the one in the purple."
My mouth twitched into a smile. What luck. The one person who was nice to me…besides William I suppose, but that doesn't count because the girl snatched him away.
I sat down and smiled, "We meet again?"
Odd smiled at me and said, "Sure know how to make them in California."
Calif- oh…t-shirt. "Actually, my hometown is Chicago." I said, pulling out my binder.
"Oh." Odd said blushing a tiny bit, "Are those your friends?" he asked, pointing to a picture of the five of us on our first day of school.
"Yeah…they were pretty sad to see me leave…they were the best friends a girl could ever ask for." I said.
"Kitty, Odd, do you have something you'd like to share with the class.
"No, Mrs. Hertz we were just…uh…" Odd tried to find an excuse.
"Odd was just telling me a little bit about the school and the class. Forgive him please, it was all my fault." I said.
Mrs. Hertz let us off the hook. Most of the stuff she was teaching was pretty boring. It was mainly a review of things we did already, but I wasn't one to complain.
When the bell rung and I gathered my stuff, Odd asked, "Next class?"
"Math with Miss Meyer."
"Me too!" he exclaimed happily.
So as we walked to class together I explained what my friends were like, "Well…Jamie is our next Einstein. I swear, that girl can do anything. She's quite the little hacker, and she's very smart…but she's pretty athletic I guess. I met her while ice skating, she's got the perfect structure for that sport too, but she can't run very fast."
"She sounds a lot like Jeremie. I even call him Einstein."
"Jeremie…I met him yesterday, but we didn't exactly 'hit it off'" I said, putting air quotes around 'hit it off'.
Odd laughed and said, "What about the African girl?"
"Jackie. She's popular, but not a snob. She's friends with everyone, but I was nice to her on her first day of school…it was really weird too, we just started talking, but I guess that's how people make friends."
"What about the boy with shaggy blonde hair?"
I smiled, "THAT is Cory. Cory is our artist. He's talented with writing, drawing, music…but he hates to admit it to anyone but us. I don't really know why though, he just says it's not a guy thing…I met Cory kind of like how I met you. I ran into him in the hallway."
"And the boy with black hair?"
I smiled, "Sam…Sam was my first real friend. I met him when I was really little. He was my next door neighbor and we shared lots of common interests I guess…" I paused and then said, "He used to believe in me, used to believe what I saw."
"What do you mean?"
We walked into Miss Meyer's class and she gushed over having a new student. I had to introduce myself all over again, but I was sitting across the room, away from Odd, and close to the girl from earlier.
I tried to pay attention to algebra, but this class was ahead of what I already knew, I was going to need tutoring soon if I couldn't catch up fast enough. I erased the problem I was working on and started over.
The bell rang again and I waited for Odd, who then asked, "So what about you?"
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"What are you like? Jamie's the Einstein, Jackie's the friend, Cory is the artist, Sam seems quiet and out of place, but a true best friend. So what are you like?"
I thought about that for a minute, "Well… I guess you could call me girl next door. I'm not really special," I tucked my brown hair behind my ear, "but I'm a dreamer. I like to believe in fantasy and the unreal, and even Sam finally grew up out of believing…I mean he still does, but he likes to separate fantasy from reality."
"But, you seem…different." Odd looked at me for a minute and said, "What doesn't he believe."
I bit my lower lip, "I…you won't believe me."
I was standing in front of the girl's locker room door, as gym was my third period of the day. I was about to step inside when Odd grabbed my wrist, "Try me."
"Della Robbia. New girl. Get dressed on the double." The PE teacher came up from behind us, scaring me half to death.
Odd let go of my wrist and I ran inside the locker rooms, changing into my old gym uniform. It was a blue t-shirt that said CHICAGO STARZ with three little stars underneath, and black shorts.
When I went outside, I was directed to run a lap around the track to see how fast I was. I sighed, rolled my eyes and took off. I was fast, not as fast as Sam or Cory, but pretty darn fast. I finished the lap in 42 seconds. (A/N: This was my fastest real one lap time…just a random fact)
I was a little tired, so I sat down with the rest of the class while Jim recorded my score. When I first found out that his name was Jim and he taught gym…well as funny as it sounds, it didn't make me laugh, but if I tell Cory he'd probably make a joke about it sooner or later.
After gym came lunch, and Odd insisted that I sit with his friends, "You'll be alright with me." He said with a smirk.
"Yeah…just peachy. After you nearly caused a catastrophe in the cafeteria this morning, nearly ruined my favorite t-shirt, made me late for class, and nearly stopped the blood circulation in my hand…I feel very safe." I said sarcastically.
Odd just smiled at me, and grabbed my wrist. "This is Kitty." He said when we reached the table. "Kitty, this is Ulrich," Odd pointed to a boy with brown hair, a jacket with the collar popped out, and baggy pants, "Aelita," he said pointing to a girl with a type of purple dress, but it looked old fashioned, although the girl had pink hair and pink leggings to go with it, "Yumi," he said, pointing to the girl who had taken William away, she was wearing a black shirt with what looked like stars on the end, black pants, and black boots, "and Jeremie." He said, pointing to Jeremie who was wearing a red sweater, and green pants with a blue stripe down the side.
They all looked friendly enough.
"Meow, Kitten, meow." I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"You." I said.
"You're crazy if you think you'll get away with anything here. I'm Sissi, the principal's daughter." She put as much enphasis on the word principal as humanly possible.
I cleared my throat, "Tu estas loco yo no." I said with a smile. (Translation: You're crazy, not me.)
"Huh?"
"Tu dumber que un poste." (Translation: You're dumber than a post.)
"What? Oh never mind!" Sissi said, storming away.
"Adios!" I called, laughing.
"You speak Spanish?" Ulrich asked me.
"A little. I learned a few phrases growing up, Kita and Ben always thought it be best for me to learn two languages, but I can only remember hello, goodbye, and a few insults." I said smiling.
Odd grabbed my hand and I jumped a little bit, he startled me, and said, "What's the word for friend?"
"Amigo." I said. I've found my new circulo de amigos. (Translation: Circle of Friends.)
A/N: Ok, I'm ending it here. Hope you all enjoyed chapter 3. Review please! Thank you!
