Okay, this probably isn't one of my best, but it's something, right? Like the times before, I just got bored and decided to continue on. To future review bad review writers, I've got just one rule. Don't say I've got potential. Seriously, it just feels like a failed attempt at trying to make me write something else or make me feel better. To the people that like to read on, I'm sorry this is short, but I haven't been as up to it for typing lately. This is just to introduce Draco's cousin, Keone.
I woke up later, remembering the sweet pleasure of having finally been able to perfect my mind powers. I just wished that I could do the same things in real life. Except maybe for the fact of ripping people to shreds. The good news was that Nocturn wasn't speaking to me, and that wouldn't be happening for a while. I hoped. The bad news, I seriously made a bad impression my first day here.
"Damnit", I whispered under my breath, waking up in the nurse's office, "That was terrible. I couldn't even dodge five before getting out."
"Oh, you're awake", the nurse said. I sat up and saw that I was lying on a small cot.
"Did I break anything?", I asked.
"Fortunately, for you anyway, no. Just a serious bash to the head that knocked you out. No serious physical injuries as far as I can see."
"Then why am I in here?"
"Because I just finished the results of your check-up, then you woke up. I was just about to have someone send you to your room. You can go now." I could obviously tell that the nurse didn't like me.
"What class period is it right now?"
"Doesn't matter, you need to go to your room. Your schoolwork is already sitting there. I didn't say you have any serious physical injuries, but you're probably gonna be a little... off balance."
"And you're sending me off to my room by myself."
"Yeah. You better start now to save time." I sighed and brought myself up. I limbered up by cracking my joints and almost fell over when getting my back. I swore the nurse was snickering at me, but when I looked at her, she was taking care of a patient that was in a full body cast.
I walked off out the door and tried to remember which way was my room. I turned left then looked behind me thinking I was supposed to go that way then looked forward.
"Which way is my room!", I grunted and held my forehead. I just went the way I started and headed up the stairs. I took hallways, cut across that shopping area, cut across the cafeteria and made it to the girl's side of the school.
"Can this day get any better?", I asked myself sarcastically. Suddenly, my phone rang and I dug it out of my pocket. I thought that phones didn't have reception here.
I ignored all those facts and looked at the caller I.D. It was my cousin. I sighed and answered her call.
"Hey cuz", I said, "You know it's school hours right now, right?"
"What? I can't call my favorite cousin", Keone said through the speakers. I was surprised. Her voice came out clearly. Not even a little static. "Besides, you're in Japan and I'm in America. How the hell am I supposed to know what time it is there."
"Search it up?"
"Whatever. Also, why did you even answer the phone if it's still school time? Aren't you supposed to, oh I don't know, be in class?" I hesitated a little bit from the embarrassment of telling her what happened. But Keo and I were best friends/cousins. We didn't keep embarrassing things from each other.
"I-uh... was knocked out", I said.
"Woah, you already got into a fight on you're first day? That's not the cousin I know."
"Actually, I haven't been a in a fight yet. It was during... dodge ball." I heard Keone's phone drop and she was cracking up on the other side. I decided to start walking the other way to get to my room and heard my cousin pick up the phone again.
"Sorry, but dodge ball? I know you're in a school of monsters, but seriously. You're usually a flexible, strong and fast person. There's no way you could've been knocked out very easily. They must've been cheating, right?"
"No."
"Off day?"
"No."
"I give up, what happened."
"I got cocky." I knew Keo was trying her best to hold back a laugh.
"Cocky? You? Wow, I didn't know that a battle like that could affect a person so much. Just promise me you won't try to show me up. As much as I'd hate to admit it, we're an even match. No way you could beat me, and no way I could beat you."
"Uh-huh. Now, is there a reason why you called?"
"I miss you, cuz", Keone said, softening up, "We've spent so much time together... It's not the same without you. Hime and I keep each other company... but we miss having someone to pick on." I chuckled a little and turned at a familiar hallway to find the stairs to the floor my room was on.
"Wow, you miss me so much that not even your girlfriend can give you enough company."
"Girlfriend?! No. Just a friend. Nothing going on between us."
"Sure. I know you're into girls. And I know that you really like her. I'm pretty sure she likes you too."
"Now I'm starting to regret what I said earlier."
"Liar. You love me too much to mean that."
"Whatever, gotta go now. Stay awesome."
"You too. Adios." I hung up the phone after her. When I entered my room, I thought about Keone. It's only been half a day since I've seen her, and she already misses me. I really missed her too. She was my best friend.
"Wish you could be here, Keo", I mumbled to myself and sat down to do some of my schoolwork.
I spent the rest of the school day trying to work on history. I was already terrible at American history, but trying to figure out Japanese history with only a textbook? This was impossible for me.
"No, Draco, nothing's impossible", I said to myself and looked down at the text book. Even though I used a simple visual spell, something my old magic teacher taught me, so I could see the words in English, it just changed from looking like a bunch of drawings on the page to a bunch of noodles on the page.
"Nothing's impossible. Just really really hard", I grumbled and slammed the book close. "I spent the whole day trying to do something I'm bad at when I could've finished the easier work. Like math or human habits. But noooo. I just had to do the hardest subject first. Ugh, I wish I was still talking to Keone." I heard a scuttling to my right and looked at my bed. There was a strange lizard-like guy that hissed at me.
"I was never here", he said quietly. The strange guy took a milk carton in my fridge and my bed sheets, then left. I just sat there, staring at my bed where the skinny lizard person was that just stole my bedsheets and milk.
"What. The. Hell?" Next, someone knocked at the door and I went to answer it. The people I met when I got here were standing in front my room.
"Tsukune told us what happened", Moka said, "Are you okay?"
"You came to check on me?", I asked.
"Well, we went to the nurse's office first, but she said she sent you back to your room", Tsukune said, "That was quite a hit."
"Don't remind me", I mumbled.
"What's up with what you did?", Yukari asked.
"What do you mean?"
"He told us you were trying to show up the other team in dodge ball and kinda made them all aim for you. If you ask me, that's just plain stupid."
"I guess I should actually tell you guys what happened before I came here", I sighed and sat down on my bed to tell them about my last week.
That's it. The lizard guy is nothing special, so don't try to make sense of him. I've got a better name for Draco on my actual story, but I think it's too late to change his name here. Thank you to a review writer for helping find a good name, it seriously bugs me that I'm not very good at it. If anyone wants Draco to have a last name, just say it in a review or message me some other way. Please don't force me to think of a last name, just suggest one you think sounds good. If you want to write a review, good or bad, don't hold back. It's entertaining to read them.
