Ch. 6
Raguna POV
Early morning and walking to school since I woke up earlier than my alarm. I decided to get to school early and get that over with. I got a quick breakfast since I wasn't too hungry and walked right out. Kin wanted to come along but she still looked tired about yesterday so I convinced her to stay home and rest up.
"Alright finally here." I said looking at the school.
"Yo! You're quite early today young man." I heard a voice.
"Erik could you cut that out? You're only a year older than me." I replied to my best friend.
"Hehe well. Sorry I couldn't make it to your B-day yesterday." Erik replied, and I noticed a tiny girl standing next to him.
"Is cool, in any case. You've been missing for a few days. What happened?" I asked since I hadn't seen him since half of break.
"My family and I went on a vacation trip to my aunt's place on the next town over. We actually just came back yesterday and that's the reason I couldn't make it to your party." Erik replied
"Like I said is cool, but anyway…who is this girl?" I asked motioning to the small blond girl.
"Oh! How rude of me. Allow me to introduce you two, this is my cousin her name is Annett. Aunt said that she needed to spend some time on a more urban area so she is gonna be staying with us for a while." Erik informed, after that Annett just said hi and then she went quiet again. Sucks being the new kid in school.
"Well what grade is she in?" I asked
"She is in our grade." Erik replied "now if you'll excuse us we need to get her signed up for classes and what not."
"Yeah see ya." I said and walked into the school. When suddenly I started hearing a phone's ringtone…my phone ringtone…
"Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"RAGU WHERE DID YOU GO YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP TO GO TO SCHOOL!" I heard from the receiving speaker.
"I'm sorry Mist, I totally forgot. I'll be on my way, there's still almost a half hour for school to start anyway. Where are you at?" I asked and someone tapped me on the shoulder. "Hold on a second Mist someone needs something." I said and looked behind me.
Behind me was none other than Mist, with her hand on her phone and tapping he for on the ground.
"um…Mist I think I found your twin." I said into the phone.
"It's me you meanie!" Mist said and hung up the phone.
"Sorry I didn't remember about picking you up." I said
"Is ok, but you have to treat me to some turnip cake later today." She said
'Is there even such a thing?' I thought to myself "Sorry mist I can't today, I have plans after school. How about I buy your lunch today on the cafeteria?" I said and she smiled
"Ok, but only because I don't know if they make Turnip cake in this city." Mist said
'of course they don't.' I said to myself again. "Anyway, you got your classes?" I asked
"Yeah, here's the schedule, can you tell me where the classes are?" She asked
After giving the schedule a quick look and seeing all of her teacher were the same as mine I looked at the room numbers and noticed that she had all of my classes.
"Are you kidding me? You have all of my classes." I said
"Awesome!" Mist said
'I don't know about that' I thought to myself as I took Mist to class.
Once in class I went to my seat, which I forgot to mention was on the near back of the second to last row to the window. Mist stood by my desk as she waited for the teacher to arrive. After about 20 min. the teacher walked in and mist went to talk to her. After much thinking and checking, Ms. Claire, the history teacher, decided to put Mist on the seat closest to the door on the back of the room.
"Morning…" I heard Cinnamon's voice.
"Oh, hey! How did you like riding Kin yesterday?" I asked her remembering the face she was making when she got on.
"It was interesting. Thank you." Cinnamon said as she took her seat.
"No problem." I replied. A few minutes later the bell rang and class started.
And after "learning" about people really important from the past and what they liked doing. The science teacher came into the class and started that class. Once more "learning" about important things such as, measuring the mass of an object when in water…how fun…
"Oh, the joy…this is so much fun…" I said out-loud
"Come on Raguna, it can't be that bad. I mean after grammar class we're off to lunch break and after that we have P.E. I'm sure you can survive till then" Uzuki said
"Ok…" I said in a really whinny tone.
"Is Ragu always like this?" Mist asked
"Daily. And is funny cause he doesn't get more than half of the things in class and has nothing but A's and B's" Uzuki replied.
"A's and B's and he doesn't get more than half then things? Ragu are you some sort of Genius?" Mist asked
"Ugh!" I said irritated that they were going on with that again.
"I know how you feel." Cinnamon said
"What's that?" I asked a little confused
"My father used to call me a genius when I was little, only as a game of course. He always said 'there's my little genius.' And stuff like that. Then when my I.Q. was released to everyone, everyone started calling me so. Some even forgot my name." Cinnamon said
"Wow. Well if it makes you feel better. I think you are smart, but I see you more like a regular girl than some genius. You just seem to be a little lonely." I said and cinnamon blushed "Also, I think you are really cute when you make those expressions. They're a big change from the face you show all the time."
"Ragu! Are you flirting with her?" Mist asked with her innocent tone, aka normally.
"I…" I said not knowing what to say. If I said yes, I'm sure half the class at least would hear about it and make my life hell. If I said no, I had the feeling it would somehow hurt Cinnamon's feelings. So… time to stay quiet and stare back…
Class started soon after so they stopped the "interrogation" and after class, like Uzuki said, lunch break.
"Alright! A part of school I don't mind having!" I yelled as I ran out the door jumped out the window, first floor, and ran for the cafeteria.
After getting some bread from Yamato named Taiyaki, curry bread and a regular sandwich I made my way back to the room and got some drinks from a vending machine on the way.
"Here you go Mist. The sandwich you asked for. Uzuki here's the Curry bread and here are your drinks." I said handing them their food and a bottle of milk for each, strawberry for Uzuki and regular for Mist.
"Thanks Raguna. I see you got the Taiyaki I suggested you." Uzuki said
"Yeah, I saw when they were making them in town and they looked interesting. I saw them in the cafeteria so I said why not. Anyway off I go." I said and walked out of the class and to the school rooftop.
I got to the rooftop and started eating the Taiyaki. It was surprisingly tasty. My favorite part was chocolate filling.
"Oh! You were here?" I heard a voice.
"mm…?" I said looking in the direction I heard the voice. Cinnamon was standing there. "wow…too many coincidences for my liking…" I said a little nervous "…just for the record, I'm not stalking you."
"Is ok, there is something about you that makes me not mind if you were." Cinnamon said blushing and looking away. Hearing her say this would make a guy do one of two things 1) make a move and try to kiss her or…more… or 2) run away and avoid her at all possible cost. I'll go with option number 3…Stay quiet about the subject and try to change the mood.
"Anyway. How long have you been here?" I asked on the attempt to change the subject.
"I've been looking at the sky." Cinnamon replied
"Wait, you've been here since the beginning of lunch?" I asked her again
"That's right." Cinnamon replied, and then her stomach started growling.
"Here…" I said handing her the bag with Taiyaki in it. "…have some. Is actually pretty good."
"Thank you." Cinnamon said and took a bite from the Taiyaki she got.
"Also here…" I said handing her the bottle of milk I got for myself "…I haven't opened it so you can have it."
Cinnamon looked a little doubtful to do anything, but eventually she got the bottle and said thank you again. After a while the bell rang and we made our way to the locker rooms. Once in the lockers…
"So Raguna, I heard you're getting close with the new girl." Erik said
"You gotta be more specific." I replied
"Of course I don't mean Mist, I mean the other new girl, the one with red hair."
"What of it?" I asked
"Man you've always had a weird taste for girls man." Erik said
"You say that as if I've had millions of GFs. I'll remind you I haven't had one. Women are too much a trouble to deal with." I replied
"Just saying." Erik said and left the locker room to go to his next class.
In P.E. class Mr. Ray split us all into 2 groups and said we'd be playing baseball. Mist, Uzukli and Cinnamon were on my team.
"Alright everyone play-ball!" Mr. Ray yelled and we got to it.
My team was batting first I was the sixth batter, Uzuki was first. Uzuki got ready for the pitch, which she hit and sent in to the center outer field. Uzuki made it to the second base. After two more players and Uzuki making it to the home plate, it was Mist's turn to bat. Mist swung the bat as strongly as she could, but was only able to send the ball pass the pitcher she also ran as fast as she could but got taken out on first.
"Man this is hard…" Mist said when she got to the dog-outs
"Is not really hard, but you're not really the physical type." I replied
It was Cinnamon's turn to go up and she went to the batter's box. She hit the ball as far as Mist did but ran certainly faster than her. She made it to the first base.
"Alright! My turn." I said picking up the bat and stretching while going to the batter box. I hit the ball as hard as I could and sent it into the right outer field. Cinnamon and the other two players made it to the home plate and I made it to second base.
After that I only made it to the third base and we got the third out and had to switch out.
I took the third base, Uzuki had the left field, Mist took second, and Cinnamon took the right field. The game started off again and the first batter hit the ball into the left field which Uzuki tried catching but it was a little off her reach. She ended up throwing the ball to second base and the runner got safe. The second batter hit the ball straight for me and out of reflex, and fear, I caught the ball before it hit me on the face. The runner in second didn't try moving. Third batter hit the ball into the right field and the runner in second took off. Cinnamon caught the ball and threw it at Mist, since cinnamon caught the ball the runner had to run back to second base and by the time he got there Mist already had the ball. It was a double play. After about two more innings class was over and my team won.
After math class it was time to go home and get ready for my visit on Mr. Kain.
Jesús: "There it is, another chapter. I know I've been pushing Raguna's visit to Kain's house but this time I had the feeling I should talk more about school time. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed it and come back next time. Also I've been meaning to say this but if you have any suggestions of what you think I should write about I'm open to all suggestions. I'm not saying I'll use them right away, but I might use them eventually. If I do use your idea I'll give you full credit, but I won't but using all suggestions other whise this wouldn't be my story. In any case, see ya next time.
