A/N: Alright so I wasn't planning on uploading until tomorrow but the lovely reviews and followers I've recieved for this story have forced me to upload a day early. ^_^ Honestly, I didn't think that the story would get so many views so quickly. But I'm glad it did.
So, this chapter is basically a general description of Sector V in the second semester of their Junior year. Everyone is 16 and... well read on to find out more. It's in a omniscient point-of-view (meaning it's told from the POV of someone outside the story who knows and sees everything for all you youngin's), but it's only for this chapter. We also have a bit of Rachel McKenzie (aka Number 362) included in the story.
I know it's a bit long, but I needed to describe all of them and I didn't want to chop this up into seperate chapters. And I took out the physical descriptions since that made things WAAAY too long. I only kept a bit of Abigail and Wally's descriptions. If you want to know what they look like, I fell in love with Orionstar's designs. She's on deviant art and she is AMAZING!
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy your nice read. I'll be uploading another chapter with actual plot in a little bit. ^_^
Chapter 3 (descriptions)
Shall we take a look at Sector V three years later?
Nigel Uno, Hank Gilligan, Kuki Sanban, Wallaby Beetles, and Abigail Lincoln all attend McClintock High. The same place they had hoped to destroy about three years ago.
First, let's check in on Nigel Uno. Nigel Uno is an A/B student. At the moment, he's focusing intently on his AP Calculus teacher's lecture, easily understanding everything he says. He's currently taking AP Calculus, Honors Chemistry, PE, Speech, AP US History, and Honors English 11. He's not a teacher's favorite, but all of them think kindly of him. They all know him as hard working, focused, and driven. But he usually avoids extra attention. He seems to want nothing to do with most of his teachers. For some reason, a reason he can't really put his finger on, he feels repulsed by them. He respects them, but he can't like them.
Outside of class, Nigel Uno is known for being a natural leader. Overall, he's a nice guy. He has a few close friends, a lot more regular friends, and almost the whole school knows who he is from one source or another. But despite his natural ability to lead, he's humble and a bit quiet. He's not a social butterfly, or extremely extroverted in a high school student sense. In all honesty, people who truly know him would compare him more to an introvert. He likes to think on his own, and stay around a small group, but has absolutely no issue with the fact that people are naturally drawn to him.
Currently, his closest friends are Hoagie Gilligan, Abigail Lincoln, Harry Williams, and Chris James. Hank and Abigail he's known forever and are truly his best friends. Harry Williams and Chris James were nice guys who got along with Nigel. They both laughed about a few childhood interests, shared most of their classes, and their strengths. They all made each other laugh with jokes no one else could make sense of. They were all on the Student Council as well. Nigel was the junior VP, Harry was the secretary, and Chris was the treasurer. James McGarfield was the junior president, but Nigel was slowly making sure he was going to be the senior class president. There were changes that needed to be done in this school, and James McGarfield wasn't going to do that. Chris and Harry had the same opinion, and were helping him reach his goal.
Also high on Nigel's list of friends was Rachel McKenzie. She was a cute blonde who shared a couple of his classes, and also seemed to be a natural leader. Except unlike Nigel, she was a bit more intimidating. She was a no bullshit kind of girl when she was doing something, while Nigel was much more lenient about mistakes –a trait that cost her the junior VP spot to Nigel. But Nigel seemed to admire that about her. Outside of business though, she was calm, kind and supportive. She was actually behind him in his AP class. But instead of Nigel's focus and drive, she was as confused as ever. She was nervously tapping her pencil against her cheek and bouncing her feet on the back of Nigel's chair. Nigel felt this and blushed. If she was confused, that meant she'd ask him to tutor her and that meant a whole two hours with her in the ice cream parlor where he'd get to see her cutely chew on her pencil, and he'd make her laugh to make her relax. Then he'd get to see her no nonsense side once she started getting the hang of it… and then he'd finally get to see her bright "I got it now!" smile… and then he'd see her take off with the homework. While Nigel can be unsure at times, once Rachel had something she was off and almost nothing could stop her.
He smiled to himself and then shook his head to clear his thoughts. He needed to focus now. He could think about Rachel all he wanted when they were in the ice cream parlor. If he didn't focus now he'd be useless to her then and then maybe she'd find someone else. Little did he know, Rachel was smiling behind him. She noticed him shake his head and immediately knew he was daydreaming and needed to refocus. She knew he was a driven guy, and that's why she always asked him to tutor her. She knew he understood almost everything the teacher was talking about. He was a really smart, driven, sweet guy. He was perfect for a tutor and- She started to blush a bit and began to swing her legs anxiously.
Shall we leave these two alone?
Speaking of 2, let's to go Hoagie- I mean Hank Gilligan. At the moment, he's taking the torturous class that is AP Physics C: Mechanics. Why you may ask? Why in the world would he put himself through so much torture?! Because to him it wasn't torture. It was fun.
At the moment, he wasn't listening though. He had learned something yesterday that had given him a brilliant idea for a machine. What machine? I couldn't tell you. Something with a gear here and a… lever (?) there? The teacher passed by him and smiled. As obnoxious as Hank can be in his class, he knew Hank was brilliant. Heck, every teacher knew he was brilliant… he was just overly energetic and loved to show how brilliant he is in all of his classes. AP Physics C, AP Calculus, AP Computer Science, Honors US History, PE, and Honors English. It annoyed most of his teachers. He was 16 and he was still doing that childish "Oh!Ohohoh! I know I know!"
But despite the groans of annoyance that would come from the room, he was a pretty popular guy. He was a jokester and a cool guy. While a lot of people told him his jokes as a child blew, he could easily tell a great joke now. Even better, he was more than willing –to his friend Nigel's dismay –to help good people cheat. He knew a lot of people in his AP physics class and his comp. science class who needed a little bump now and then. Heck, everyone needed a bump sometimes. He'd tutor them, but if he really knew they didn't get it, even after his amazing tutoring, he'd give them a hand. His methods are secret, and he'll rat out anyone who gives away his secrets. Some think he made a brain transmitter or something, but no one except those he's helped know for sure.
And that includes the lovely Abigail Lincoln. Hank and Abigail have been a couple since Sophomore year. It would have been Freshman year, but Abigail's sister Cree had suggested playing hard to get. That first year Hank had 2 superficial relationships that only lasted a few weeks. He and Abigail shared a couple of classes, and she always seemed to play around with him. It was like she understood him perfectly. She was a really cool girl. Smart too, even if she wasn't as proud of it. And she would flirt, but in a cool kind of way. Like she'd smack his hat down if he told a cheesy joke, or she'd give him a simple smile that immediately made him blush, or playfully steal his stuff and make him grab for it. He asked her out a couple of times, but she usually said she couldn't. Then he would see her with another guy and he'd feel furious… but he couldn't stay mad at her long. She was too nice and cool. Plus he always felt… happy when he heard her talk. Even happier when he made her laugh. He hated seeing her seem sad, even if he if she deserved it. Soon enough, the boy would disappear and he saw what she was doing.
So, the next time he asked her out he made sure she couldn't say no. And she didn't. And everything was worth the wait. All the sudden his phone vibrates, and he pulls it out to see a picture Abby sent him of her AP English teacher's substitute asleep and covered in post-it notes. He chuckled and texts her back.
Since we're talking about Abigail, let's go to her. As implied, she's in her AP English class, snickering about her sub being asleep in class. Didn't he know that it was bad to make teens mad and then go to sleep. Sure she was nicer than most teens, but he was just too much. Speaking of… she crept over to his desk, opened the bottom drawer and took back her red cap.
She put it on over her black hair and sat back down, placing her legs cooly on her desk. She had her hair straight with a small braid in the front. Abigail Lincoln chuckled to herself as she listened to the teens around her chat about a party a week ago, romances, school work, and everything else, but Abby just put her headphones in her ears and blocked out the droning. Abigail Lincoln is a bit of an introvert. She doesn't initiate conversation, she responds to one. For the most part, she kept her head down and her grades up. But despite that, people seemed to like her. She was friendly and fun. And… well… her enemies were not. It always seemed like you were on Abigail's side, or the cheerleader's side. Very few people associated themselves with both.
Abigail's teachers were definitely on her side though. Other than refusing to get rid of her red hat, she was an ideal student. She turned in great work, made great observations without being annoying, was nice to all the other students, and was all around a favorite student without being a teacher's pet. She was taking AP English, AP Biology, TA'ing, Honors US History, Honors Trigonometry, and Adv. Martial Arts. She showed expertise in every class. But she never bragged. She was just smart.
She looked up at another smart girl in her AP English class and smiled softly as she saw her scribbling in the class's current reading assignment.
She's just that kind AP student everyone knows and most people are envious of. AP English, AP Bio, AP Calculus, AP US History, AP Japanese, student tutor and Adv. Ballet after school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But very few people stay with her for very long. The only constant friend she has is a girl named Emily. Emily is a sweet girl, but a little slow. Emily doesn't hang around many people. But Kuki talks to almost everyone.
As far as I can tell, she doesn't have any serious love interests, but that doesn't mean boys aren't interested. She's a beautiful girl. But they're a bit put off by her success and sweetness.
But being single didn't make her unhappy. She never really thinks about it.
Here's one person who would think about it. Now I just need to find him- HA! There he is. Figures. First period and he's already in trouble. You know who this blond headed bad boy is right? Wally Beatles. In his orange sweatshirt and ripped faded jeans. Grumbling in the councilor's office.
Wallaby isn't exactly the teacher's favorite. He isn't the most hated student –that honor went to the guy that openly mocked the teachers... who was also one of Wally's closest friends –but his low grades still gave his teachers grief. Currently he was taking Adv. Boxing as a zero period, English 10, Health, World History, Algebra, Biology, and a tutoring period. At the moment though, he had no tutors.
That's part of the reason he was in the counseling office. Because he had no tutors, he was already failing his classes. If he was failing his classes, they would take extreme measures to make sure he could pass his classes. Like take him out of boxing. And he was great at it. He was great at any physical really. That's why the teachers and staff keep up a little hope.
It gave him a little hope. He loved that he had something he was naturally good at.
But his slacker attitude didn't make him many friends. He had a few friends in his boxing class and a friend in Lucas, Abby, and Hank; but most people saw him as a slacker who got by in sports by natural talent alone. And Wally had no problem with that. He was proud that he could just slide by on talent alone.
He flaunted that fact with girls. Some girls like it, some girls don't. Like at the moment, he was sharing looks and winks with the student working in the counseling office at the moment. He was a pretty good looking guy. He had a cute and a hot bad boy smile, and the lean muscle to match. It made the girls' hormones rage and their minds go wild with all the YA book romances they've read.
Of course, here comes his counselor though, giving a look to his TA making her file faster and nodding for Wally to come into his office to remind him it's only the beginning of the second semester. Changes to his schedule can and will be made.
So, let's leave before the raging fireworks starts shall we?
So yes. These teens are what grew from our dear KND. They all grew up very well if I say so myself. Of course, some are going to have more problems than others this year. This is the second semester of the former Sector V's Junior year. Shall we follow them? Maybe something interesting will happen to make this long chapter worth it.
