Chapter 4
"I'm back Ms. Jameson!" Blaire called into the room full of kids. Nobody bothered to turn to see who was at the door; they probably already knew who it was.
"And I brought the new girl with me!" I slapped my forehead. Why did Blaire have to proclaim that?! Now all eyes were on me! And I don't like having all eyes on me; it makes me nervous at times.
"Oh, that's nice," A young woman in the front of the class replied, turning around to the door. She had mahogany colored hair and light green eyes. "My name's Ms. Jameson and I'll be your photography teacher for this year. It's Alexis, right?" I nodded, and she smiled.
"Well, Alexis, why don't you come to the front of the class and tell us a little about yourself?" I knew she said it as a question, but I had had enough experiences with those types of questions, and they meant that you had too and you didn't have an option.
"Umm…" I bit my lip nervously. "I'm Alexis Rhodes, and I just moved here from Tokyo. My Dad's a lawyer at the Yuki-Anderson law firm and my mom works as a RN at the hospital. My brother's in eleventh grade and a bit of a goof…" I stopped. Was that it?
"What about you?" Ms. Jameson asked. "Is there anything about you that we should know or be interested in?"
I stopped for a moment. There was something, but should I really tell them?
No, I couldn't. I didn't want to be harassed here for that too. But, I did love it…
No. I wouldn't tell them about it.
"Not really," I lied to Ms. Jameson easily. "I'm pretty boring, really."
Hah! Boring my ass. There was that driverless car yesterday, those weird 'visions' or whatever, and all that stuff.
I'm not boring, but still…
"Alright," Ms. Jameson said, taking my lie. "You can sit next to Blaire, seeing as you two are already acquainted. Maybe you can keep her from breaking my cameras." I could tell that last part was a partial tease on Blaire, and Blaire just smiled. I just smiled.
"I'll do that," I replied with a smile, and Blaire took us over to our seats. The seats were the only open double in the room.
"Alright class," Ms. Jameson started after we were seated, "Today we'll be starting our projects for the marking period!" The whole class except for Blaire and I groaned.
"This marking period," Ms. Jameson continued, ignoring the groans. "Your project will be a collage, made by you and a partner. It can be of anybody, anything, and any pictures. You can make one of your dogs, of your friends, of kids in school. Today you can pick partners and what you're doing your projects on. And, if you do it fast enough, I may let you start taking pictures today. But, it has to be approved by me first." I laughed as the class cheered at this.
'So, do you want to be my partner?" Blaire and I asked each other at the same time. We laughed.
"Sure," We replied together. We bit our lips simultaneously. Then did it again with our mouths. Again with shutting them.
"Girls, this is photography class, not theatre. Now, stop acting like a mirror." Ms. Jameson's' voice rang out, and we both started laughing.
"So," I said after we'd both recovered. "What do you want to do the project on?" Blaire shrugged nonchalantly.
"I dunno," She replied. "I was thinking though, maybe we could do it on the students of the school, like all the different classes and kids here at Duel Academy High." I nodded.
"That sounds fun." I replied, and Blaire grinned.
"Then it's agreed!" Blaire smiled. "Now, if we can get this approved by Ms. Jameson, we can start snapping pictures tomorrow, and figuring what we'll have on it." I nodded, and Blaire started up to Ms. Jameson's desk.
As I watched Blaire walk up, I saw her right in front of Ms. Jameson's desk, then her foot tripping over a cord running across the floor, and her falling down. I cringed and waited for the thud, but it never came. I looked back to Blaire, and she hadn't reached the teacher's desk yet. But she was approaching it…
I bit my lip. Should I warn her? Should I let her trip? God, what should I do? Then, at the last second, I made up my mind.
"Blaire, watch out for the cord!" I shouted, and Blaire jumped, and looked down at the floor, noticing the cord.
"Thanks Alexis!" She smiled, stepping over the cord to…
Run straight into a burly looking tenth grader.
"Oof!" Blaire yelped, and fell over. I looked over the boy Blaire had run into.
He was big and muscular, and had black hair with dreadlocks. The boy also had a yellow bandanna on that had the head of a dinosaur on it.
"Uh, heh heh," Blaire laughed nervously, picking herself off of the floor, "Sorry Hassleberry, I didn't mean to run into you." The boy, Hassleberry, just laughed. That surprised me- the way he looks, I thought he would've gotten mad and threaten to beat Blaire up for running into him.
"It's no problem cadet," Hassleberry replied, laughing. "It was just an accident. We all know you have enough of those all the time." I watched as Blaire laughed and smiled.
"Yeah, you're right," She replied, "Uh, sorry again." And she walked around Hassleberry, and Hassleberry just walked back to his desk. He sat with a short kid with periwinkle hair that wore glasses and had hazel eyes.
"Ms. Jameson said that it's alright!" Blaire's voice surprised me, causing me to jump in surprise.
"What?" She laughed. "Did I scare you?" I shook my head, a smile on my face,
"Nah," I replied, "Just didn't expect you to be back so soon." Blaire rolled her eyes, a grin on her face.
"Sure, sure," She replied. "Of course you weren't scared." I laughed and mock-glared at Baire.
"Oh, is that sarcasm I smell?" I asked her, laughing. "But, anyway, we should get to work." Blaire nodded.
"You're right." She agreed, and we started working on our design for the rest of the period as well as deciding on what teachers' classes on the collage.
I was starting to think that maybe, just maybe, I'd like it here at Domino Academy.
