Unlocking My Past
Chapter 4
It was now 2:00. I was supposed to meet Ashley at some 'Meeting Room'. Come to think of it, she wasn't in class the whole day. I wonder what she's up to.
I walked up the stairs and walked along the aisles of level three. It was a desolate storey in this part of the school and I was starting to worry if I would ever find the room in time. I was really looking forward to that date with Chase.
"I finally found it!"
I skipped around the entrance of the Meeting Room, elated that I have successfully located the room which was at the end of the hallway.
Suddenly, the wooden doors of the Meeting Room slid open and out came a boy who had a big yellow round head. He smiled at me but I could tell he was quite shocked to see an unfamiliar face open the doors.
"And who might you be?" he asked me.
"Oh, I'm Kimiko Tohomiko, Ashley's classmate. She asked me to meet her here."
"Nice meeting you Kimiko. I'm Omi and I can control Water!" he said proudly.
This guy certainly has an ego bigger than his head…
A familiar blonde girl was peeping through the gap that the door made and she squealed excitedly, "Oh Kimiko! I thought you would never come!"
"Well, you could have at least told me how to get here you know?" I scolded her. "I took a freaking long time to get here!"
"Oh, sorry! I know this place can be a little tricky to find. Good to see you managed to find you way around. Never mind that, come and sit down! We have plenty of things to fill you in about!" Ashley said as she patted a sofa beside her.
I gladly took a seat; my legs were aching from all that walking just to find this blasted place…
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet my classmate, Kimiko Tohomiko! I believe she will be a valuable asset to us and will help fight for our cause!" Ashley declared to the other members in the room.
I did a quick scan on the people; there were very few, about less than 10? There was Ashley, Omi, Raimundo and some really pale boy with red hair. I think he's an albino. Oh, and not forgetting myself.
"Really?" Omi asked. "I am most pleased that you would join us in defeating Chase Young, Kimiko. Especially since you are a girl!"
I glared at him… What did he mean I was a girl? Girls could do anything guys could! "Hey! What did you mean by that?" I glared daggers at him.
"I-I just meant that very few girls would fight for us. They all side Chase if you know what I mean," Omi said timidly.
"Oh yeah, I guess," I muttered. I wondered if this was going to take very long. I mean, my date was so much more important than joining these losers in whatever they say they're fighting for. Irritated that I might be kept here longer than expected, I told them, "Uh, sorry guys but I really gotta go right now."
"Oh the toilet is just on the right side of this room; you won't miss it," Raimundo said. I wondered if he was trying to be nice or a jerk but I figured it was the latter as he started snickering.
"Very funny, I'm in a hurry so of you'll excuse me," I said as quickly as I could before rushing out of the door. I didn't even stop when they asked me to come back.
I heaved a sigh as I leaned myself against the front gate of the school. I'm glad I escaped; it was getting weird in there and I definitely did not want to stick around! I had stuff to do before the date, I mean; I wouldn't want to look too shabby now did I?
