Chapter 5
Stupid Mr. Treize who does that guy think he is anyway?
"Miss Riona you will have to pay for that calculator!" I mocked. Well I hope that hit from my desk will cripple him so that he can't teach anymore! I walked down the hall and soon found the door to the office. I opened it and didn't bother helping it close softly, instead I let it slam shut. The secretary who was typing away furiously at the computer gave me a bad look and I returned one to her. I took a seat in a chair against the wall, crossed my arms and stared at the floor. I was still angered from what happened that I didn't notice the person sitting in the chair beside me. I looked over and saw it was a guy. He had chestnut brown hair and it was in a long braid.
"So what are you here for?" I heard someone ask. It was the guy. I turned to him.
"What are you here for?" I retorted. He let out a small chuckle.
" I punched a guy in the nose for calling a foul on me in basketball," he smiled. "And you?"
"I broke a stupid calculator!" I answered.
"You got sent to the office for breaking a calculator?" he asked amused.
"Oh yeah, how could I forget," I said sarcastically. " I cussed at my teacher and on my way out of the classroom I pushed my desk into his knee."
"Who's your teacher?" he asked and I sighed in aggravation.
"Mr. Treize!" I answered.
"Whoa! You did that all in Mr. Treize's class? Man, you're one brave girl!" he shouted.
"Yeah, well he was really pissing me off!" I replied.
" The name's Duo Maxwell." he said offering to shake hands. Although I was angry I didn't want to be rude.
"I'm Riona Tsai." I replied and shook his hand.
"Next!" I heard from inside the principal's office and I stood up.
" Well, see you later!" I joked and walked into the office closing the door behind me.
"Hello, please take a seat," Lady Une pointed to the seat in front of me and I sat down. "Tell me, what are you here for?" she asked.
"Mr. Treize sent me here because I broke a calculator. He said I'm going to have to pay for it." I replied.
"Yes that is true. You are a new student here aren't you?" Lady Une asked and I nodded. "I figured because students who've been at this academy for awhile know better." Lady Une joked and I glared.
"But since I am in a better mood today than I usually am I will let you off. I will take care of this matter, so no need to worry about paying for the calculator. You may go back to class now." Lady Une explained and I got up and walked out the door.
"So, how did it go?" Duo asked as I walked out.
"She let me off the hook." I answered.
"Well lucky you! Hey, we can talk more at lunch today. You can come sit with my buddies and me, how about it?" Duo asked.
"Sure, I guess." I replied and began walking out.
"Good, I'll see you later!" Duo smiled and walked into the office. On my way out I heard Lady Une say, "Alright Duo, what did you do this time?!" I smiled and made my way back to class. Luckily when I returned the bell rang. I gathered my books and copied down the homework without looking at Mr. Treize. Hotaru waited for me outside the classroom and we made our way to our lockers.
"Hey, I met this guy in the office awhile ago and he wants us to go eat lunch with him. I figured we could use some friends." I explained. Hotaru gave me this strange look. "What?" I asked and she signed to me, "Ah! Looks like someone's got a boyfriend!" she smiled.
"No way, Duo would never be my boyfriend. He has his hair in a braid! Besides, he's not my type." I answered.
"Did you say Duo? Duo Maxwell?" Hotaru signed.
"Yeah, why? Let me guess another one of those familiar people right?" I joked and Hotaru nodded. "Oh lay off it already, just think of them as friends alright? My day's been wacky enough, I just wonder how this lunch outing is going to turn out." I said and closed my locker and the two of us began walking to lunch.
