First Day of school
Adam and the others walked up to the offices front desk. "Hi, I'm Adam Park and I would like to enroll some students." He said to the lady behind the desk.
"And what are their names, Mr. Park?" She asked politely.
"Um, Jade Park, Christiana Ford, Nick Newman, Tyson Waters, and Jace Freeman." Trini spoke up. They had come up with last names for them when out shopping.
"Oh, you so many kids." The lady commented.
"They aren't ours. Jade is my cousin and the others are her friends." Adam said eyes wide.
"And where are they from?" the lady asked.
"Huntsville, Alabama." Trini said.
"But you don't have accents." The lady said.
"They're from here but they moved to Alabama when they were 12." Adam said.
"Their parents were very close." Trini said.
"Were?"
"Yes they died last week in a terrible car accident." Adam said pretending to be sad.
"Oh I'm so sorry." The lady said. "Here are you're schedules and if you ever need anything just tell me."
"Thank you so much." Chris said eyes tearing up. Jace made a move to 'comfort' her.
"You're welcome." They then went into the hallway and started talking.
"Ok guys we have to go to work we'll pick you up out back when schools out, ok?" Trini explained.
"Ok thank you bye." Jace said. "I Have History with Mr. Burns First. How about you guys?"
"Me too." Chris said smiling.
"Nah I have Mrs. Greene." Jade said.
"I do to." Tyson said.
"Dang it I'm alone with Mrs. MANEATER." Nick said emphasizing her name.
"Have fun with that." Jace said walking down the hallway to their right with Chris right beside him.
"Yeah, see ya after later." Jade said following Tyson.
"Jerks."
Mr. Burns Class
Chris knocked on the door to her and Jace's first class together.
When the door opened there was a young man no older the Twenty- two standing before them. "What do you want?" He asked grumpily.
"Uh, hi we're you're new students." Jace said.
"Ok then get inside and find a seat. And next time, don't be late or you won't be in this room ever again." Mr. Burns said.
"Yes sir." Chris said following Him inside, Jace right behind her.
"Class, this is Christiana Ford and Jace Freeman. I expect you to treat them like you do everyone else." M. Burns said. There was a long pause before someone said, "Wow, new chicks hot."
"Chris just looked away blushing. Jace glared at the entire room, daring who ever said it to say it again.
"That's enough, sit down would you two." Mr. Burns said motioning to two empty seats that sat side by side.
"Yes sir." Chris said again.
Mrs. Greene's Class
"Class we have two new students. Would you two stand up and say something about yourself?" Mrs. Greene asked.
"My name is Tyson Waters and I love to swim." Tyson said standing then sitting again.
"My name is Jade Park and I'm very good at gardening." Jade said
Following Tyson's motions.
"Good now on with the lesson."
Mrs. Maneater's Class
Nick stood at the front of his History class telling everyone about himself when the bell rang. 'Oh thank god.' He thought as he shot out of the class room.
Lunch Room
"So how were your other classes Jade?" Chris asked as the two walked out of the lunch line and to a deserted table. It turned out that Chris and Jade had fourth and fifth period together.
"They were interesting. I got to do a lot of talking about myself though." Jade said annoyed that every period was same stand up introduce yourself and be completely lost the rest of the period.
"Same here. It's really boring." Chris said.
"Hello ladies." Tyson said sitting to the left of Jade. Chris, who sat in front of Jade, waved and smiled.
"Hey. So hows your first day?" Jade asked. Tyson immediately frowned.
"I have homework in every subject! Can you believe that? I mean how are we supposed to protect the planet and do homework?" He asked looking irritated. The girls just laughed.
"Ty I'm sure it'll work out." Jade said looking at him. Nick slide next to her and smiled.
"Sup'?" He asked beaming.
"Nothin', just listening to Tyson rant about homework." Jade replied.
"Really? Because the only homework I have is in history. And we studied history every day where we came from so it'll be a breeze." Nick said looking at Tyson who rolled his eyes.
"Chris, what's wrong?" Jade asked noticing how quiet her friend was being.
"Nothing it just that I haven't seen Jace yet and he's never late when foods involved." Chris said scanning the crowed for his tousled brown hair.
"Chris I'm sure he's fine." Jade said smiling reassuringly.
"I'm gonna go look for him." Chris said getting up and leaving.
Jace
Jace was on his way to the lunch room when he saw about ten monsters in green suits scaring a girl. Jace without thought ran to her aid. He ran I front of her and got in a fighting stance.
"Are you ok?" He asked not looking away from the monsters. He only got a small nod. He then jumped into action dodging and punching. They were relatively easy to fight but Jace was put numbered.
"JACE!" He heard a voice called he turned to see none other than Chris running to him taking down a couple of the monsters down on her way. "What happened?" She asked.
"I saw these things attacking her and decided to help." Jace said kicking one in its gut.
"Did you have to be so nice?" Chris asked ducking when a monster tried hitting her from behind but only hit the one in front of her.
"Oh like you would've just walked away." Jace said taking out the last one. Chris just laughed.
"Ok I see your point." She said walking over to him.
"Good." Jace said then he remembered the girl he'd saved. "Why did those things attack you?" He asked turning to the girl.
"I don't know. But thank you, and I'm Nina Sloan." The girl said. Nina was an African American girl, she was very pretty. She had long curly brown hair and a perfect figure. Her voice was very soft. Chris noticed that Nina's eyes were focused on Jace. Nina then did something Chris never would have expected. She kissed him! Sure it was on the cheek but that's still her lips on him.
"Jace I'm sure the others would like to know what just happened, let's go." Chris said grabbing his hand and dragging him toward the lunch room and away from that stupid girl.
Chris P.O.V
'Ugh I can't believe her. She's probably one of those snotty popular kids.' I thought growing madder by the second.
"So do you always get like that?" I heard Jace ask from behind me.
"Get like what?" I asked wondering to what he meant.
"Jealous." He said stopping me dead in my tracks.
Jace P.O.V
"Jealous." I say unable to stop myself from smiling when she stopped. When she turned around she looked mad, and not your 'I can't believe you called me that!' mad either. It was 'If you ever say something like that again I'll rip your head off' Mad.
"Whoever said I was jealous?" She asked no looking at me.
"Well by the way you dragged me away from her like I was a rag doll kinda says it all." I said smiling.
"Well I just thought that defeating Master Maverick would be more important than watching you and your new girlfriend make out." Chris said coldly. I felt shivers go down my back by the way she spoke to me. Chris was always happy and smiling, and that was one of the things her loved about her, but the way she looked and spoke, that Chris was gone.
"She's not my girlfriend, Chrisy!" I say trying to make that beautiful smile return. I knew she liked my little pet name for her and that it never failed to cheer her up but it now barely had an effect on the girl.
"Whatever, let's go tell the others." She said turning and walking away. I however just stood there in shock. Why did it matter to her if Nina kissed me? "Jace, come on." She said already halfway down the hall. I ran towards her as fast as I could. She was right there wasn't enough time to be kissing girls. We had to focus on the problem at hand.
The rest of the day I blocked out school and thought of ways to get Chris to smile again. He could buy her those drinks she lover so much, if i ever remembered what they were called. When I turned to look out the window I saw something that made me want to kill. A boy and Chrism, his Chrisy, outside skipping class. No it wasn't a boy it was the monster that ran off yesterday in the park. I stood up and wen't for the door.
"Mr. Freeman just Where do you think your going?" Mrs. Maneater asked.
"I don't feel all that great. I was going to go to the nurse." I quickly lied.
"Well I don't know how it works down there in the south but here we have to get a pass to go anywhere. Now sit down!" She commanded. I looked back out the window and saw Chris struggling to get out of the monsters tight grip.
"I'm sorry but I have to go!" I said turning and running out the door. When I got to the place where I saw the monster and Chris they were gone. "Oh no I'm too late." I thought sitting down in the green grass.
