Sorry for the long wait... Been so busy with a vacation and Christmas, and I haven't had wifi... Anyway, hope you all like my school! Sorry bout the classes, I couldn't think of any other teachers...
The boy walked out, standing about three feet away from me. He was bald, with black spikes coming up from the side of his head. He looked at me and sneered. "No one can beat the lightning king!" He proclaimed loudly. I just got into a fighting stance, my left foot back, my right foot forward. "Go!" the zombie shouted. Immediately the boy sprang forward, spinning on his heel to try to get behind me and into a blind spot. I grinned inside. This guy really thought I couldn't fight. Well, I didn't train with my dad for 14 years for nothing. I stuck out my right foot. The boys eyes widened as he tripped and fell to the grass. "Come on Ox! Get up! Beat the newbie!" a boy from the crowd shouted amid the laughing at the boy's fall. The boy, Ox, got up slowly, groaning at the yellow bruise appearing on his arm. I guess he hit a rock or something. Ox glared at me. "You won't get away with that again! Now I won't go easy on you!" he shouted, leaping at me. I stepped to the side, smiling. Then I felt a hand grab my shirt. I looked down into Ox's face, who had turned to the side at the last second and grabbed me so that he wouldn't face plant again. I had just enough time to duck backwards before his fist hit the air were I had been seconds ago. I swung my foot forward, knocking Ox's legs out from under him. He retaliated by grabbing one of my pigtails, dragging me down with him. I shrieked, and involuntarily flared my arms about me, accidentally hitting Ox on the back of the head. He yelped, letting go of my hair. I jumped backwards, kicking him in the process. He jumped up again, swearing up a storm as he rubbed the back of his head. I glared at him as gingerly touched my own head, feeling where my scalp had been pulled. "You. Will. Not. Win!" he said between gasps. I growled back at him, feeling my anger starting to push through my forced calm. This guy was really beginning to annoy me. I crouched down as he ran toward me. Then I sprang into a front flip, sailing over him. I hit the ground and spun on my toes, and grabbed one of those weird spikes on his head. He shrieked a not-very-manly shriek, and I pulled harder. He fell to his knees, crying out in pain. I felt my hands heat up, and I stumbled backwards. My anger was loosening my soul protect, and beneath my fake red soul I could feel my real soul burning with rage. I quickly pushed my anger down. I couldn't have my soul come out now, surrounded by witch hunters. Instead, I slowly walked back to Ox, who was still kneeling, rubbing his head and groaning. I hit my foot hard against his back, sending him to the dirt. I leaned down slowly, and kneeling on his back, I spoke in a very quiet, threatening voice, "Do you give up, lightning king?" His voice came back to me faintly, rough with pain, "Yes." I nodded, and stepped off of him, brushing my hands off. The boy who had cheered for Ox rushed to him, asking him hurried questions. I walked back over to the teacher at his beckoning. He looked me up and down, then said in his deep voice, "Well done. My name is Sid. I presume you are Ash?" I nodded my assent. He clapped me on the back hard, then pushed me back to my classmates. They looked at me in dawning respect, and I had to hide my smile. I went back over to my friends, who congratulated me. I bent down and picked Alex up, spinning him around as he shrieked with glee. I laughed, then set him down. Just as I was watching Ox peel himself off the ground, the bell rang. The class rushed out of the room, and I followed the crowd, letting Liz grab my arm and pull me wherever we were supposed to go next. It actually turned out to be the end of school. I couldn't believe it, we only had two classes a day. But since each class was three hours, it was actually a longer day then you would think. Liz pulled me out the door, following Patty and Alex, who were racing down the stairs at breakneck speed. Kyle raced up beside Liz, and Liz let go of me to grab his hand. Then they were running too, laughing and jumping down the stairs. Then BlackStar was rushing past me, dragging a very annoyed Soul. Tsubaki was racing after BlackStar, and Maka was right behind her. I slowed to a walk, laughing at my friends. I heard footsteps, and turned to see Kid walking down the stairs, looking after everyone else. I slowed even more, waiting for him to catch up with me. I smiled at him as he came up next to me, and he smiled back. "That was very impressive. Ox is one of the top of our class." "Thanks." I said, blushing a little. He smiled. Then his expression darkened, and he asked me, "While you were fighting, did you feel a witch soul? Or something like a witch soul, except not one. It felt huge, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from..." I gulped, then said shakily, "No. I didn't sense anything." He looked at me with a funny expression on his face, then went back to his normal strict self. "Well, if you ever feel it, come tell me." I nodded hurriedly, then turned to the side, thinking over and over, "Crap! If Kid could feel it, did the teacher? Or even Lord Death? Then I would be dead!" Kid looked at me again, then said softly, "It's ok, we will catch her. You don't have to worry." I smiled shakily, pretending to be relieved by his words. He opened his mouth to say something else, but he was interrupted by a shout from BlackStar, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey, you two lovebirds! Hurry up! The amazing BlackStar wants a donut!" he shouted up at us. I glared at the bluenett, blushing furiously. Kid would seem unaffected, except for the very pale pink blush creeping up the back of his neck. We raced down the steps together, trying to catch up with the others, who were already racing down a side street I didn't know. Soon I was yet again completely lost as we twisted and turned down alleys. The only thing keeping me from losing my friends was Kid, who had saw I was falling behind and had grabbed me hand. Now he was pulling me down another tight street, through the townspeople who bustled about, going in and out of the stores and houses. Then we were out in a big open street filled with even more people, and Kid stopped, gracefully turning on his heels to face a store. Lets just put it this way, I'm not usually a very graceful person. I yelped as I skidded into Kid, almost knocking him off balance, and put out my hands at the last second to keep my face from connecting with the stone street. But before my hands touched the ground, Kid caught me around the waist and pulled me back up. I was blushing and trying to stutter out a sorry or a thank you when I heard laughter. I looked up into Kid's face, shocked. He had his hand pressed against his mouth and he was desperately trying not to laugh, but I heard it. It was deep and soft, just like his voice. I blushed deeper red and examined my shoes. "That was beautifully executed." he said quietly, still trying to regain his composure. I felt him grab my hand, and he pulled me inside, still breathing irregularly. I looked around to see a cute little coffee shop, with the rest of my friends already sitting in a table near the bar. I realized this was the place I had been trying to find on my second day in the city, before I had met Alex and Kyle. I dragged over a chair, and sat down with everyone. Soul, Maka, and BlackStar were having a heated debate about something. I cringed as Soul got chopped on the head with a book, leaving a smoking indent. Kyle and Liz were talking quietly, hand in hand. I smiled at them, and Kyle winked at me. Patty had somehow got a giraffe toy, and she and Alex were playing with it, laughing. Patty was it's voice, making the giraffe a very high pitched male. Alex moved him around. They would collapse into giggles when they accidentally made the giraffes movements contradict what it was saying. I smiled and went to sit with Tsubaki, who was trying to catch a waiters eye. Just as I sat down with her, a waiter did finally come over.
"What would you like?" a teenager asked, sounding bored. "I want some green tea please, and he" Tsubaki said, pointing to BlackStar "would like some a latte and a donut. What do you guys want?" she asked the rest of the table. "Could I have some peppermint coffee with a little cream please?" Maka asked sweetly as she hit Soul again, who had been teasing her mercilessly. "And give him a cappachino." she said, indicating her smoking partner. Patty ordered two hot chocolates for her and Alex, and Liz and Kyle got a big milkshake to share. I ordered a small vanilla milkshake, it looked good. Kid just got a small black coffee. The waiter left looking disoriented, and I felt a little bad for him. There were a lot of us. I leaned over to hear just what Maka, Soul and BlackStar were arguing about. "Maka, it's just a game..." Soul said slowly. "There's no need to get so worked up." BlackStar sniggered. "Yea, just a game." he said, emphasizing that it certainly was not just a game. Soul glared at BlackStar while Maka almost screeched, "It's my turn to host, and I am certainly not having that game at the party!" I blinked, confused. Tsubaki whispered to me, "They want to play truth-or-dare." I cringed. I would have to do any dare they want, just because if I picked truth, they might ask about my past. So far I had managed to avoid answering any casual questions about my home, but if it was in a game like this, it would look suspicious if I didn't answer. And I really didn't want to lie to my friends. The BlackStar said, "Why don't we vote on it. Anyone who wants to play truth-or-dare at the party Friday put your hand in the middle." he slammed his hand down, followed shortly by Soul. Tsubaki looked at me with the a degree fear in her eyes, but also the glint of excitement that comes from the thrill of doing something like this. I knew she would vote to do it. I watched as she put her hand in, as Patty and Alex shot there hands in giggling. Kyle shrugged and looked at Liz, who took his hand and put it in the middle with hers. I shrunk down in my seat, then sat up. I hadn't been invited to the party, so I didn't have to worry. I didn't even know what the party was for. The waiter came back with our drinks as Kid looked around, looking annoyed at the results. I guess that he always had to pick truth, or else he might have to make something asymmetrical. Maka glared at everyone, then sighed. "Well, then I guess that settles that. You guys are coming too, right?" she asked me and my partners cheerfully. I opened my mouth to come up with some excuse, but Alex beat me to it. "Of course we are coming!" he shouted into my mind. Maka nodded, and I sank down in my seat again, sipping my milkshake without really tasting it. It was going to be a disaster.
Ok, Im sorry if the next chapter may not come out for a while... I'm really busy school. But please review, and comment any dares or truths you think would be good! I'm open to most suggestions, (just have to be T rated.) Thanks!
