When I first met my drama teacher, my first thought was, crazy cat lady. Her greying black hair was tossed mercilessly into a large bun on the top of her head. Her large brown eyes were framed by bright red glasses, and she wore a brown skirt with a white puffy sleeved top, and a yellow corset. I didn't even know people wore corsets anymore.
"Hello dear, I'm Mrs. Hemmings. You must be Aurora?" She greeted with a large grin.
"Yep, that's me." I chuckled nervously as the students that were in there eyed me strangely.
"You can have a seat next to Anna Marie. Anna, raise your hand please." She sang out. Yes,
that's right, sang. A girl in the back raised her hand waved her hand in the air. As I neared my desk, I noticed a few things about the girl I was suppose to be sitting next to. One, she was very short, I would say around five-three. Two, her eyes were a bright blue. Three, her electric blue hair, curtained creamy flesh.
"Hey, I'm Anna Marie, as the teacher lady so kindly pointed out. But you can call me Anna." She laughed. Her voice was light, and excited.
"I'm Aurora Ryver, but you can call me Ro." I replied with a smile.
"Well Ro. Looks like we're going to be partners." She laughed as she pointed to the board, where the teacher was writing partner names on the board.
"Sweet." I laughed, before the door opened and in rushed Seth Clearwater, all flustered and gorgeous.
"Mr. Clearwater. Nice of you to join us." Mrs. Hemmings chuckled darkly.
"Sorry. I was-" He started.
"It doesn't matter Mr. Clearwater. Please have a seat." She sighed before she turned back to the board.
"He's cute isn't he?" Anna laughed as she nodded her head in the general direction of Seth.
"I suppose." I spoke, trying to seem uninterested.
"He hangs out with Seniors mostly, though he has some sophomore friends. His sister and a few other he use to hang out with graduated." She explained.
"He helped me with my locker. He seemed kind of off." I commented as I opened my book to today's lesson. Mime. Great.
"Now, I want you all to stand up in between the desk with you partner, and practice mimicking each other. It's not as easy as it sounds. You have to know your partner. Be your partner." She spoke, before laughing.
" She's scary." I muttered.
"Yeah, my sister had her last year. She said that she was a weird one." Anna laughed before she stood in front of me. I was a few inches taller than her, so I finally got the pleasure of looking slightly down at someone!
"Okay, start easy, to make sure you've got it down then you may move onto more difficult moves. We will be practicing this for the remainder of the class. You may begin." The teacher laughed as she clapped her hands.
"So, tell me about yourself." Anna spoke as she put up her hands and started making small circle with them. I mimicked her.
"Well, I lost my parents when I was a baby, and lived in an orphanage until two years ago, when I moved in with my brother. I like blue sweet-tarts, lemonade, and nature. I'm a vegetarian, and I love music. What about you?" I replied as she started shaking her hips, and did some sort of belly dancing move. Again I mimicked.
"Well I live with my older sister and my dad. My mom died when I was a little girl. My dad is of the Quileute tribe, but my mom was French. I get my light skin from her. I love to dye my hair weird colors, temporary colors of course, and I also love music and I am also a vegetarian." She spoke with a large grin, before teacher spoke up again.
"Okay, I want two groups to join together!" She spoke, before clapping her hands. I got the feeling that she does that a lot.
"Here comes Seth and Marc." Anna laughed, as her eyes got all starry.
"Hey Anna, and friend?" This Marc guy spoke as Anna stared at him. I nudged her lightly, to warn her off of drooling on herself.
"I'm Aurora." I introduced with hands on my hips.
"Oh right, the new girl." He chuckled as he looked at me for longer than ten seconds. It took me less than that to take in his shoulder length black hair that was tipped with a dark green, golden eyes, and he was slightly shorter than Seth.
"It's rude to stare." I huffed. What was with the guys here?
"Sorry. So, we gonna do this thing or what?" He laughed nervously, before he stood in front of Anna.
"I think that the girls should mimic each other while we mimic each other, but make it look like we are interacting with the girls." Seth spoke up for the first time, trying his best not to look me in the eyes.
"That's a great idea. Don't you think Ro?" Anna spoke as she bounced up and down on the balls of her feet.
"Groovy." I laughed before I stood so that I could see Anna out of my peripherals.
"So, Seth and Ro should lead, and Marc and I will follow you." Anna finished before she looked over at me and nodded.
"Alright." I finished before looking at Seth, who still refused to meet my eyes. Time to make things interesting. I thought to myself with an evil laugh. I started with the simple hand circles and rolling of my hips. Anna followed alone nicely. Seth and Marc started off with folded arms and a simple leaning movement. So I decided to step it up a notch. I did the same stomach rolling move and hip shake that Anna had done before, she started to giggle as she followed me. Seth and Marc looked at each other with raised eyebrows before they started doing the shuffle. Seth smirked at me as if I couldn't top that. Stay with me Anna. I thought before I twirled in a circle and swayed to the ground, before coming back up dangerously close to Seth, then turning around and walking away with rolling hips. To my vast surprise, Anna could keep up! And she was laughing. Then the guys started to do the robot!
"shuffle, LMFAO." I spoke softly to Anna as our backs were turned, she winked at me to let me know that she understood, before the fun proceeded. The guys just laughed and shook their heads at us in defeat.
"Girls rule!" Anna laughed before she stuck her tongue out at Marc who rolled his eyes at us.
"That was pretty good." Seth laughed after the class ended.
"I dance a lot when no one's looking." I laughed as I took my schedule out. History. Eck.
"What class do you have next?" Seth asked as we waved goodbye to Marc and Anna.
"History. I fail at that class." I sighed as I walked over to my locker.
"With Mr. Johnson?"
"Yep."
"Cool, we have that class together." He laughed. Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to be seeing a lot more of this guy?
"Are you trying to get me to walk you to class?" I asked as I turned and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What? I don't need you to walk me to class." He countered.
"It's alright. You need me to protect you. That's cool." I laughed as I shut my locker and turned.
"Well come on. Don't want to be late." I finished before walking towards class.
