Chapter 3: School Again
Today is the day we all start school. Seta and I got our uniforms on then headed downstairs for breakfast. Nanako and Markus were already downstairs eating some eggs and drinking orange juice. The two of them looked so cute while they talked and laughed with each other. I'm glad that they get to go to the same elementary school.
"Oh good morning!" Nanako said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Good morning Seta and Sarah." Markus said, his mouth half full of food.
"Finish what's in your mouth!" I said with a laugh.
"Did your dad go to work?" Seta asked.
Nanako nodded but she had a hint of sadness in her expression. My guess was that this is a normal thing for her, well minus us being around. I decided to change the subject.
"Did you make breakfast by yourself Nanako?"
"I did! Dad isn't here all the time so I learned how to do a lot of things by myself!" She answered proudly. She then looked at the time and stood up. "We should get to school. I'll show you two the way to your school." We grabbed a few umbrellas then headed out the door after eating
"Your school is straight ahead from here. My school is in the opposite direction so we'll see you guys at the house. Come on Markus!" She grabbed his hand and started to drag him away.
"Bye guys!" I called out to them.
Seta and I kept walking until…
"HOLY CRAP LOOK OUT!" A boy on his bike passed by us. He crashed into a pole and he looked like he was in pain.
"Should we help him?" Seta asked.
"Nope we'll be late so come on." I grabbed the back of his collar on his jacket then dragged him to the school.
We went to the office to let them know that we were new and we needed our schedules. Our teacher's name is Mr. Morooka. So when we got in the classroom he had us stand in front of the class to introduce ourselves but before we did…
"I don't want any of you hitting on these two! They're the same losers that they were at their old schools! Anyway, say your names kids and make it quick!"
"Nice to meet you I'm Seta Souji." Seta said.
"I'm Sarah Arisato and are you calling me a loser?" I asked with anger. All the students looked at me surprised.
"That's it, you're on my shit list missy!"
"Hmph, like I care." I mumbled.
Mr. Morooka went on and on about how we're a bunch of stupid kids and how the boys are a bunch of perverts. Then a girl with short brown hair raised her hand and asked if we could sit in the desks near her. Morooka didn't care so Seta sat next to her and I sat behind her.
"He's the worst huh? Rotten luck that you two got stuck in this class. I guess we'll have to hang in there for a year." She told us.
We nodded then listened to Mr. Morooka's lecture for the rest of the day. Before we got to leave, an announcement went on.
"Attention, all teachers. Please report immediately to the Faculty Office for a brief staff meeting. All students must return to their classrooms and are not to leave the school until further notice."
What in the world is going on? I could hear sirens close by! Did something bad happen? I don't want to stay in school it's the worst place to stay in for a long time! Oh hey another announcement.
"Attention, all students. There has been an incident inside the school district. Police officers have been dispatched around the School Zone. Please stay calm and contact your parents or guardians as soon as possible, and quickly leave the school grounds. Do not disturb the police officers. Head directly home. I repeat…"
Oh snap what's going on! ? I felt anxious so I poked Seta's back. He looked back at me.
"Come on let's go. I really want to go home." I told him.
"Alright then let's go." We gathered our things then stood up. The girl with the short brown hair noticed us leaving.
"Hey do you two wanna walk home with us?" She asked.
"Um, sure I guess." I answered.
"Oh I forgot! I'm Chie Satonaka and this is Yukiko Amagi!"
"Oh, nice to meet you two." Yukiko said awkwardly.
We started to walk away when a boy walked up to us and held out a CD. "I'm really sorry! It was an accident! Please just have mercy until my next paycheck!" Chie took it then chased him to the door. She kicked him in the… unmentionables then looked at her DVD. It was cracked down the middle. Yukiko asked if he was alright but Chie told her that he's fine.
Well school was interesting! I wonder what we'll find walking home…
