Well, I finally updated as quickly as possible! :D My last update was Monday in the morning when it's still dark. Of course, it can be strange and confusing for some of you guys because I live in the US, and some of you might live different countries other than the United States.
Hmmm… Surprisingly, there is nothing to talk about… Mostly, I talk about news or anything that is giving me a reason why I haven't been updating or anything like that. Wow, that's kind of new. :) Then, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review guys. Reviews give me motivation and inspiration and also I like reading my reviews. :)
KaylaDestroyer: This chapter is for you.
Chapter 7: Sunset High
In a huge school, there are students populated and new arrivals. It was the day of registration for the new students who are attending Sunset High. Everyone was excited and new students joined into this school. It was a nervous day for the new arrivals but also exciting. It was the day when the 8th graders into young freshman and now set off into responsibility; becoming into small, young adults. No one has ever thought of this coming; high school is going to be tough but knew it's going to be fun also for the "Sunset High" students.
The new enrolling students gathered into lines outside the school; waiting to be instructed by an administrator. The students talked to one other; knowing each other and wasting time until they were notified. Two friends waited as the excitement of freshman year is just right at the front door. One was a male with blond hair with a dark blue beanie on his head, a blue shirt with a "P" imaged on his shirt and with a black shirt under, and dark indigo jeans. The other was a female with gorgeous, long golden brown hair with a tan brown shirt and right at the left side was a small burgundy flower, and blue skinny jeans. They held their luggage and backpacks around themselves as it was one huge rolling suitcase filled with clothes, one other suitcase as they held on their left hand and one was their school backpacks.
"Can you smell that, Sara?" said the teen with the blond hair with a beanie over his head, smelling the fragrance of the fresh air surrounding him.
The girl giggled at his comment, "Smell what?"
He took another deep breath with his eyes closed and grinned at his friend, "I smell freshman year, baby!"
"Of course, summer vacation just started yesterday and now we are old 8th graders and now becoming freshman, Justin." Sara smiled with excitement; her adrenaline was low and her heartbeat was increasing by the excitement she had.
"I still don't understand why we have to come to high school this early. You know we can enjoy our summer vacation, and THEN, we come here." Justin said; as Sara rolled her eyes of Justin's complain.
"For the millionth time, Justin, we have to come to school early so that our dorms won't be booked, isn't that right?" Sara explained as Justin sighed and knew she was right. "You did say that you want to live alone, I mean you don't want to share a room with anyone, correct?"
Justin nodded at her statement. It was true that he wanted a personal dorm for himself. He wasn't comfortable of sharing or living with anyone he doesn't know or trust. If either, Sara could've been a roommate, but she's a girl and the girls have to be separate from the boys. In mind, Justin agrees what Sara said and just goes with it; like if Sara was his mother who made the decisions for him. "Right…" he answered.
As they continued to talk, the two and the other students were cut off by a man who seems like he was in his forties and creates a noise to grab the students' attention. Sara and Justin turns to see the man and stared at him; waiting for him to speak. "Good morning, Sunset freshman students. It's a privilege to have you, young cadets, to enroll and study your courses here in Sunset High. We hope you have a great four years attending our school and hope you graduate and make our school the finest. Since, you are new to our school and don't know our rolls, we will like to show you around of our school and take you into every building, so that you can recognize and know where your study courses are," the man said, as he gathered the students into a large long line. "Oh, and allow me to introduce myself. I am your principal, Principal Davis, to be sure. Now, gather into a neat line and please put your luggage and other things you brought to the bus, meanwhile, we take our 'little' tour."
"Pffft. Little? Not to burst his bubble but I think he meant a BIG tour. Unless, he's confused between little and big…" Justin insulted the principal as Sara gave a small giggle at his comment as they followed.
"Now, students this here is the dormitory," he pointed out to a huge building that was about five stories high which some students were in awe. "In fact, the dormitory is consisted of 5,000 students living in there."
"Wow! This school just got serious!" cried a student in one of the lines which got the principal his attention.
"Yes, indeed, my boy. Since, this school is overall widely popular to some countries. Students of all over the world attend into this school which they have a nice place to stay." The principal made a smile as he continues to lead the line. Then, the students head off to more buildings kind of large like the dormitory. "Now, this is the science lab building, history department, art department, English department, and foreign language department" he said, pointing of separate buildings which each building has a different category.
"Um…whatta 'bout physical education?" questioned of the students from the line.
The principal chuckled and smiled, "We are heading to that right now."
Soon, the students head out of the buildings and the students were more in awe by the view. They saw the physical education area, and man, it was HUGE! The students saw a football field that was no ordinary school football field. The football field was like the stadiums that famous football players may play on their games. The football field was also a track field too; the field was surrounded by bleachers and it made Sara and Justin in amazement.
"Are we in college or something…?" Justin questioned himself; his eyes cannot leave by the amazing view and incredibility.
"No…but this is a good start." The principal answered the teen's question.
Justin and Sara cannot believe the schools beauty, it is what college would have; they would have these expensive track fields and large beautiful buildings. This school is rich! In Justin's head, he knew that his school is awesome but is there more to come?
"No students, we are heading the cafeteria" said Principal Davis, the students continued to follow.
When they made to the cafeteria building, it was obvious that it was going to be a big building, but in the inside, it made Justin's mouth water in hunger. His eyes see tables everywhere and then saw the kitchen of the cafeteria; however, he saw a food court inside the cafeteria which got Justin in love and cries with tears of joy.
"This…school…is…amazing…" Justin muttered; on his knees as he praised the cafeteria and looked at the sky in the heavens. "Can you make my day even better?"
Sara rolled her eyes at Justin's dramatic act. She grabs his arm and picks him up as Justin was hypnotized by the amazing food of the cafeteria and how the school will serve it. "C'mon, Justin, let's go!" Sara drags Justin by the back of his Justin as he groans of the pleasure of imaging himself eating the food that the cafeteria will serve.
When the tour was over, the two grabbed their school supplies and luggage and heads to the dormitory. They lined up with the rest of the students and waited for instructions. "Now students since you registered during the last months of your 8th grade year, we have your names and I.D.s numbers ready and we will assign you to your future dorms. But right now, since we don't have that ready, pair up a friend or two and leave luggage and equipments into one of the dorm rooms until further notice." Principal Davis explained; instructing the students.
Sara and Justin stared at each other and smiled. "We know what are we gonna pick." Justin smiled as Sara nodded with a chuckle.
"I know right!" Sara agreed.
Soon, the students were paired up and were put their suitcases in one dorm room at a time. Sara and Justin waited for one of the adults to take roll of the students. Eventually, an adult appeared beside Justin as he looked at them; waiting for the two to say their names. "And you two are…?" he answered in a cold way; his tone sort of stressed out.
"Oh, um…Sara Fink" Sara answered quickly and nervously.
"Justin Sterling…" Justin replied dully and unemotionally.
"Very sterling… Oh there you are, Sara Fink and Justin Sterling," he said as he found their names in the roll list. "Welcome to Sunset High, we won't be assigning your dorms until later. So, right now, you can chill."
"Cool!" Justin simply answered and was impressed by his answer.
"Okay, thank you for the notice!" Sara smiled and waved good-bye as the two entered to the empty dorm.
"Finally," Justin throws his heavy luggage on the throw and throws himself on the bed sinking in of the softness and sighs in relief. "Oh…the beds are comfortable too…"
"Well, two hours ain't that bad, huh." Sara said as she rests her properties on the side of the bed and lies comfortably on the soft bed.
"This is school is AWESOME!" Justin shouted in excitement as he can't wait for freshman year. He stretched his arms and legs and crossed his arms; resting his head on them with his beanie on. Sara smiled and stared at the ceiling and then closes her eyes. "Falling asleep, huh?"
She opened her eyes and turns her head at him, "Just tired…"
"Well, missy, it's because you have to wake up around five in the morning with excitement and called me when at six in the morning while asleep, telling me to wake and get ready for the school but it starts until nine" Justin said as Sara laughed at the moment when that happened.
"I'm sorry. You know how excitement I was at that time..." Sara apologized as she felt sorry for waking up her friend up at early.
Justin smiled, "Nah…its cool. I was kinda' glad you woke me up early."
"Hehe hehe… You know Justin; you need to learn to get up on time. You're acting like a five-year-old." Sara laughed.
"Hey, I'm turning fifteen in a few months, so, I'm not a five-year-old!" Justin argued as Sara continues to life.
"Yeah…you're older than us." Sara answered as she continues to stare at the ceiling.
"Us? Who's this 'us'?" Justin questioned; confused who his 'us' is.
However, Sara frowned sadly and felt that her heart was broken by the thought of "us". She looks at Justin was sad look and opens her mouth, "Kyle…"
Justin now thought of his lost friend, Kyle, the boy who sacrificed himself to save his friends and to lose his memories. He wondered what happened to him; hoping that he is okay and enjoying life without the herd and his friends. Then, he remembered, THE HERD! He was back into his senses and made a grin at his friend Sara. "Oh, I just remembered something! It's a surprise!" Justin smiled as Sara has her head down and didn't answer for a moment.
She shook her head and sat up from the bed and heads to the door. "Not now…I'm not in the mood for a surprise… C'mon, let's head to the cafeteria, maybe there will be something to get rid of the bad thoughts in my mind…"
Justin sighs and sits up from the bed follows Sara to the cafeteria. He closes the door and looks at the ground for a moment and notices that Sara was gone. He thought about his friend Kyle and the herd as he wanted to surprise Sara with something that'll make their summer vacation exciting but he knew it's going to take some time. "So much for telling her that I almost got the time machine running…"
So, Sara and Justin make a return to the story without Kyle, of course. :/ But will they ever get to see the herd again? Will the herd remember them? What will happen next? Stay tuned for the upcoming adventure of Ice Age with Kyle 3: Lost Memories!
As what I said in the top comment, reviews are much appreciated. :)
