Chapter 3! This should be good. ^^ I hope you like it and I want all of you readers to review! I apologize for the wait, I always have too much homework and now the semester is over so hopefully I will be able to write a couple of chapters. Again, I apologize for the very long wait. I will try and update on my other story as well. ^^
When Lina entered the classroom, her eyes were wide and frightened. Her hands refused to shop shaking and she was starting to have slight breathing problems.
When she came in, the teacher stopped talking and grinned. "Well class, this is the transfer student I was just talking about. Everyone, this is Lina Gentry." He turned to Lina and asked her, "Is there anything you would like to say?"
Lina quickly shook her head and looked at her feet. She hadn't looked anyone in the eye. She was so pitiful. They all probably thought she was a freak now!
The teacher, sensing her discomfort, quickly told her where her seat was. " Your desk is right next to Tamaki's. Mr. Suoh will you please raise your hand?" Lina Looked up, recognizing the name from earlier. Her eyes spotted the boy raising his hand and giving her a big grin. Despite his looks, violet eyes, blonde hair, and handsome, smiling features, she knew he could not be trusted. No boy, besides Drew (she had decided that earlier this year), could be trusted. They only hurt and pretend to like you. She wouldn't make the same mistake ever again.
Lina walked over to her seat, her head and eyes facing the ground. She was hoping she wouldn't trip or anything, and safely made it to her desk without any kind of mishap.
The other students started to whisper when the black-haired, green-eyed girl sat down. They thought that the new American transfer student was kind of odd. They continued to whisper until their teacher started the lesson. The first thing that he taught in the day was mathematics. While he was showing the class how to solve different equations, Lina was hoping and praying that he wouldn't call on her to answer a question or do a problem. Luckily the teacher didn't call on anyone and just gave the class the homework assignment for the day. While he graded yesterday's math assignment, he let the class 'work' on their assignment, all the while knowing the class would talk the whole time. He looked up to check on Lina and saw her quickly writing with her math book open. Well, he thought, maybe I'll have a good student in the class now. He smiled to himself and turned back to his papers.
Lina was in her seat, keeping to her own thoughts. She had been working on the homework assignment for a while now and was nearly finished. As she wrote down the last problem, she noticed her hands weren't shaking so much now. They were nearly normal: enough so that her handwriting was readable. She would have to rewrite the rest of her assignment later, when she wasn't so nervous and in the security of her room.
Lina finished her assignment and decided to just turn it in tomorrow, not wanting to get up and attract any attention to herself. She pulled out a book that she had just started the night before. The Clockwork Angel. It was the new book by Cassandra Clare. She had been so excited when it came out that she immediately bought it, but she hadn't gotten to start it until last night because of all of their moving. She was quite happy that she could enter the world of shadow hunters.
Unknown to Lina, two of her classmates had been observing her while she was doing her homework and getting out her book. They didn't quite know what to think about the girl. She was very, very shy and seemed to be in her own world. One of the classmates, Kyoya, was comparing her current actions to the ones that his friend, Tamaki, told him about earlier. Apparently she immediately hid from Tamaki when she heard him talking to her. It was strange, he thought. Tamaki could make any girl squeal and feel happy. His good looks combined with his charms is what made him the top host that he is.
Kyoya continued to watch the girl as she read her book. He looked over at the other person who was watching her; Tamaki. He was watching her with a confused look on his face. Besides that, Kyoya didn't know what his blonde friend was thinking. He rarely did.
The teacher announced the end of class and everyone, except for Lina, Kyoya, and Tamaki, left to go eat lunch. Kyoya and Tamaki headed to the door, hoping to avoid a crowd of girls before turning back to see the new student strangely gone.
"Where did she go?" Tamaki looked at Kyoya. "She must be shy! Oh the poor princess! Mommy let's invite her to the Host Club!"
"Why must you insist on calling me 'mommy'?" Kyoya pushed his glasses up his nose and looked at the blonde host.
"Mommy! Should we?" Kyoya frowned; peeved that Tamaki ignored his question. Tamaki looked at Kyoya with a pleading face.
"Do what you will. The more customers we have, the better. Just don't scare her away."
Tamaki gave a yell and started being dramatic while Kyoya started to walk off. He had to calculate last week's club profits. He didn't have time to listen to his best friend's antics. Kyoya continued to walk to the lunch hall, looking back to see Tamaki looking around for Kyoya. When he finally saw him, he scurried after Kyoya, wailing about how cruel the world is to him and his beauty.
"Kyoya, wait for me!
Lina ran out of the classroom as fast as she could. There were way too many people in that class. She can't handle more than five people around her; let alone over twenty. Tremors ran across her body as she went to find her cousins. Where could they be? They promised to find her immediately after class.
Lina hurriedly went around a corner only to fall on her butt.
"Ow…"
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Lina looked over to whom she ran into and started to panic. The people in front of her were on the ground like her. They were boys! She couldn't be in a hallway with boys alone! Who knows what they would do to her. She didn't want it to happen again. She wouldn't be able to take it. After all, all boys are the same. The predators were everywhere. They never left her alone.
One of the boys waved a hand in front of her face. "Hey, are you okay?" His voice sounded soft and concerned. He had gold eyes and orange hair. She only stared at him and panicked even further when a copy of the boy in front of her cam into her vision. Was she seeing double? Certainly not, she had perfect vision.
Lina looked at the 'copy' and he spoke. "What's your problem? Are you deaf?"
"Hikaru! Be nice, you're scaring her!"
"That's not my problem. She's the one that ran into us! What if she hurt you Kaoru?" The person called Hikaru's eyes turned worried.
The boys called Kaoru softened his voice and his eyes softened along with it. "I'm okay Hikaru, but we need to be nice to the girl. It's our duty as part of the host club."
"You're right. Are you okay miss? Miss?" The twins turned to fins the girl completely gone. She was nowhere in sight. The twins turned to each other and shrugged. They continued to the cafeteria, curious about the strange girl.
Meanwhile, Lina was sprinting in the opposite direction of the two doppelgangers. She can't handle this school! Wherever she looks, they are there! If only Drew and Ava could be in the same class as her… They could protect her.
While Lina was running, she could feel the stares other stud3ents were giving her. She heard their whispers. They were probably talking about her. Who knows what they were saying? Lina continued running as fast as she could in search of her cousins.
Then, for the second time that day, Lina ran into someone and fell down. She looked up, thinking it was those twins again, but it was her twin cousins instead. Lina's eyes started to tear up and she leapt into the arms of two worried cousins.
I hope that you all liked it! Please review. :)
