Brooke's POV
BEEP BEEP BEEEEP! I jumped awake…and so did Pearl. We could not figure out what this LOUD noise was! We scrambled to hit the clock next to our bed that we had to share. Pearl started banging on it with her hand, and I just covered my ears. The beeping kept getting louder and louder.
"How do you turn this stupid thing off?" I yelled in frustration. Our hearts were racing at the awakening. Alek came rushing and moved Pearl away from the clock. All he did was push a button and the beeping stopped. We sat crisscross on the bed looking at him.
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to put an alarm clock in your room" Alek said. He ran a hand through his hair then rubbed his eyes to help him wake up more. Unlike us because we are already wide awake.
"Get up, get ready…we have school today" He said before leaving. Did I mention he was in his pajamas…which were basketball shorts and no shirt? I thought legged men wore shirts all the time… I looked at Pearl whose gaze was at the door…I bet she was looking at Alek's abs.
"You are sick Pearl" I teased and got out of bed. I walked over to the closet to pick out an outfit.
"What?" She asked joining me to get clothes. I laughed and shook my head.
"He is taken" I told her putting my hands on my hips and facing her. She shrugged.
"I know I will not do anything. Ok, we, and Aqua, are all going to wear similar outfits for like the first few weeks. That way people know that we do not do anything without each other. So go get Aqua" Pearl demanded. I smirked and left the room. The three of has a very good sense of fashion considering we are at sea most of our life.
I knocked on Jasmine and Aqua's room and did not hear anything. I walked in quietly to see them sleeping. I shook my head and decided to only get Aqua up. I walked over to her side of the bed and thought for a second. I will just get her up like I usually do…poke her arm. It sounds strange but it works. I poked her arm a few times and she got mad and hit my hand away. We did that a few more times before she got so frustrated she got up.
"What?" She said tiredly.
"We have school today. Come one we need to pick out our outfit!" I exclaimed. It was a little too loud because Jasmine shot up. She looked at us, the time, and back to us. Jasmine shook her head and got out of bed. Aqua and I walked back over to my room. Pearl was waiting for us.
"So, how about we wear our dark red skinny jeans, and plain black shirt; then our combat boots and leather jacket?" I suggested. Aqua rubbed her eyes and looked at the clothes.
"Daring, good for the first day!" Aqua said excitingly.
"Love it!" Pearl agreed.
"Great! And I call doing hair!" I told them. We all laughed.
"You can do hair every day, we do not know how" Aqua said.
"True, ok everyone go get dressed." I ordered my mermaid friends. Aqua sprinted to her room and Pearl and I grabbed our clothes. Pearl went into the bathroom across the hall to get dressed and I stayed in our room.
A few minutes later we met back in my room. Aqua brushed through her long hair while I added extra small curls to Pearls. I then straightened Aqua's hair so it would not become frizzy and it would be perfectly straight. Once I finished doing their hair I did mine with small curls like Pearl so people would know we are sisters. We came out; dropped our shoulder bags on the couch and joined the two Mai in the kitchen.
"You get ready fast" Jasmine said.
"The longest part was just trying to do Aqua's hair" I said, and everyone laughed in agreement.
"I got to go get ready" Alek said leaving to his room. He came back in less than ten minutes…men get ready fast. About ten minutes later Jasmine was back and we left.
"Where is the school anyway?" Aqua asked.
"A few blocks down from the coffee shop we went too yesterday. But we always meet up with Chloe and her two friends Amy and Paul at the shop before we go to school" Jasmine explained. Aqua, Pearl and I nodded, even though we did not completely understand. Amy and Paul? I have heard their names but never even met them and I don't know anything about them. We walked into the coffee shop and sat down at a table with Chloe and two other people. I was guessing that was Amy and Paul. Wait! Their human!
'Do you sense that?' Aqua whispered in our heads. Pearl and I nodded.
'Humans' we all three said simultaneously.
'Careful Pearl, we are friends with them because they are Chloe's friends. Human or Mai, it does not matter' I told my mermaid friends. They nodded and we focused back into the real world. We all had sat down, but everyone was staring at us…
"What?" Aqua said. The humans and Mai laughed.
"We have been calling your names for the past ten minutes" Chloe said. We looked at each other, then the ground.
"Anyway, this is Aqua, Brooke, and Pearl. And this is Amy and Paul" Chloe introduced. We all said our greetings.
"So are you like Mai or something?" Paul questioned. Aqua bit her lip, Pearl looked a little frightened, and I was left to answer. Jasmine was about to speak when I shot her a look. She understood, and used the excuse we are going to use in school.
"No, they're just human. They are family friends from Romania, but speak both Romanian and English" Jasmine lied. Chloe looked a little mad and Alek hugged her tighter. She most likely did not want to keep this secret from her two best friends.
"Oh, that's cool anyway! What's it like in Romania?" Paul asked.
"Not humans to" Alek said in frustration. Chloe, Jasmine and Amy laughed.
"I am going to go get some coffee, who wants to come with me?" Chloe offered. Amy, Pearl, Jasmine and I raised our hands. Aqua was shocked when we actually left her alone with the two guys.
"So are you three going to our school?" Amy asked curiously. She actually seemed pretty nice.
"Yea" Pearl answered strongly. She was nervous a little, but inside I could tell she was trying to be strong for school today.
"Cool. Where are you staying while you're here?" She wondered.
"They are staying with me and Alek" Jasmine informed the human girl. I looked at Aqua for a second, she was leaned (and tense) in her chair, keeping her eyes down, and nervously playing with her fingers. It was a bad idea leaving her there. Alek was glancing at her every once and awhile, and Paul was trying to talk to her. Aqua barley answered, she just mumbled and did not look up. We grabbed our coffees, Amy paid, and we went back to our tables.
"That's nice" Amy said to Jasmine (about us staying with them). Alek took Chloe's coffee, drank some, and gave it back. Chloe was shocked momentarily at him.
"You did not just do that" Chloe said. Alek smirked.
"Dude she is going to kill you" Paul laughed.
"I would like to see her try" Alek replied cockily. Chloe raised her eye brows.
"Don't we have training tonight?" Chloe asked. Jasmine nodded.
"I will get you back tonight then Petrov" Chloe added. Everyone laughed and Alek check his watch.
"Better get to school" He said. Everyone nodded, grabbed their coffee and we left to school. I was actually kind of nervous. I have no idea what will happen. I cannot let anything happen! If someone found out our secret we are a science experiment. We walked a few blocks, Pearl, and Aqua made no conversation. Pearl answered a few questions, and I spoke the rest.
Everyone stopped at a big, long building. Girls and boys were walking in the double doors, talking, laughing…flirting. Some held hands; some were running around playing with different color and shape balls. There was a big group of girls in very short skirts and short tank tops. There were guys doing all different things like teasing other girls, playing some sport, reading, and teasing other guys.
"Catch you all later" Amy said walking away with Paul and Chloe. We all said our goodbyes and Alek kissed Chloe quickly. Aqua looked discussed at some smell that no one else detected. Pearl was tense. I was more confident and nervous. Alek left us with Jasmine and caught up with some guys playing…basketball I think it is called.
"Let's go get our schedules and I will explain how everything works" Jasmine said. We nodded and followed into the school.
We were hesitant at first but became more confident after each step. Everyone stared at us as we followed Jasmine. They looked us up and down, the guys checked us out, and the girls were weirded out by us. We kept our gaze in front of us and did not dare look into the eyes of the humans. I listened in their heads and we all listened to what they said though, and then shared it with Aqua and Pearl.
'Who are they?' a girl wondered. 'Ew, new students' another girl said. 'They're hot' one guy said, all his friends agreed. 'Pathetic how they are already trying to be cool' a girl said. It was mostly rude things from the stuck-up snob girls (I can tell their like that already). The guys were mostly inappropriate. I wanted to slap half the guys for saying things like that about us. Some were even talking about just one of us.
Jasmine led us to the office (as I found out it is called) and got a paper for the each of us. We looked at it for a moment before she started to explain.
"Ok, Valentina luckily got the office to agree to put all of you in the same class. She made up some excuse, so all you have to do is follow me. I will show you your locker in a second. If a teacher calls on you, answer them, if a teacher says to do something, do it. If you pay attention in class, do your homework, and stay out of trouble; you will be just fine." Jasmine explained. We all nodded, understanding what she was talking about. We walked up to this wall that was lined with long metal doors. There were numbers on a small metal plate screwed into the top of the door. It had shutter type holes in the top and bottom of the door. I found it very strange.
"These three are your lockers. I forgot to mention Valentina also got these so it would be right next to mine, this is mine" Jasmine continued pointing to the lockers.
"All you have to do is turn the dial on the lock to these numbers and pull down, then take it off and done" Jasmine showed us exactly how to open our lockers. We tried a few times and got it open. After we got the hang of opening them she led us to the class. We put our small sheet with our locker combination and class schedule in our shoulder bags.
Jasmine led the three of us into a classroom. There was about thirty teens and a few extra desks. Everyone was sitting in a desk and facing forward to the front of the classroom. The teacher stood at the front writing things on a board with a marker. Everyone turned to us as we walked in. Jasmine walked to the back of the classroom and sat down. The teacher was the first to talk.
"Hello, I am assuming you are the three transfer students" The woman said. We nodded. I looked around and spotted Chloe sitting next to Jasmine and Paul. They quietly chatted about something.
"My name is Mrs. Young and this is math class. Would you like to introduce yourselves?" Mrs. Young asked.
"Um…My name is Pearl" Pearl said.
"Brooke" I said slightly raising my hand by my head.
"Aqua" Aqua mumbled. Some people laughed at Aqua and her face got red. She was both embarrassed and mad, her fists tightened. I touched her should gently and she stopped. The teacher quickly silenced the class.
"Wonderful, you may take seats in the back of the class. I assume that everyone will respect the three and help them if they need it. Just try and keep up while I teach" Mrs. Young demanded. She turned around and grabbed three large hard books and held them out out us. We each grabbed one, trying to understand what normal people do. I glanced at Jasmine and she smiled.
"These are you text books; we will work problems in it. At the end of the class I would like to see you three" The woman finished. We nodded and walked to the back next to Jasmine. A guy tried to trip us by sticking his foot out, but we simply walked over it and laughed a little at him. She gave each of us binder with lots of paper, some pockets to put papers in, a pencil and a pen. I saw there was writing on one of the papers and read it:
Sorry, forgot to give this to you before we walked in. The pencil will always be used in math; the pen will be used in every other class. Take notes and write down whatever the teacher writes down on the white board.
I looked at her and nodded. I passed the note onto Aqua and Pearl, they understood too. Because we were in the back we never got any glares from the other students. I did what Jasmine said and wrote down the things on the board. The three of us paid attention the whole class and understood exactly what we were supposed to be learning. Luckily nothing bad happened. After class we walked up to the teacher while everyone else stared at us and left. Jasmine waited at the door.
"What did you need?" Pearl asked politely.
"I heard you were from Romania, so I needed to check on some things" Mrs. Young said. We motioned for her to continue.
"Did you understand the entire math lesson today?" She asked.
"Perfectly" Pearl answered.
"Alright, well if there is ever something you need help with, just ask" Mrs. Young told us. She sat at her long teacher desk and started writing on papers. We simultaneously said 'thank you' and walked away to Jasmine.
"How was it?" Jasmine wondered.
"Fine, it was actually pretty easy for me" I told her.
"Same here" Aqua agreed.
"Completely" Pearl also agreed. Jasmine nodded.
"Good, next we have history. Alek, Chloe and Amy are also in that class with us" Jasmine informed us.
"K" Aqua said. As we walked down the hallway five girls with super short skirts and tank tops stepped in front of us.
"Look here, we have the new girls and Jasmine" One girl said. I guessed she was the group leader.
"Just let us go to class Victoria" Jasmine said sternly. The girls laughed.
"I thought you were cool Jasmine, but I guess I was mistaken" Victoria said. We just tried walking around the group of girls but the grabbed our shoulders and pulled us back. Pearl tensed up at the girls touch, Aqua looked paranoid and I was mad.
"Let. Go" I demanded clearly and slowly.
"And why should I listen to you?" Victoria challenged.
"Ha, the new girls think they can tell us what to do!" Another girl said. Jasmine glared at us, telling us to leave it and walk away.
"What losers" A different girl muttered. What a fail at being quiet. I looked at Aqua and Pearl, we understood without even having to talk to each other. Calmly and quickly we turned around grabbing whichever girl's wrist was on our shoulder. I had Victoria, and glared into our eyes.
"You need to learn some respect" I told her. I turned her wrist so her arm started to twist the wrong was. She was hurt, but not a lot. The three of us let go and turned back to Jasmine. The girls watched as we walked away from them. The just flicked their hair behind their shoulder ad stopped away. To me they looked as stupid as ever.
End of that chapter. It will get a LOT better soon! I think you will love it! More CHALEK to come! Take my poll please, info above! I noticed I wrote this chapter horribly…I am very sorry about that…I wasn't into it I guess…
