School Daze- Chapter One

~Indigo's POV~

It was just another Monday at school, and as usual Ryo, Ken and I took a seat next to each other in our classrooms. I totally DREAD going to school on Mondays. It just puts people in bad moods. The teachers are cranky from the lack of sleep, due to grading papers all weekend, plus the endless excuses from almost all the students telling them that they forgot their homework. The students are brain dead due to the forgotten memories of their homework assignments that they 'mistakenly' left at home. Unfortunately, I was one of those students.

"Class, please get your homework out so I can collect it." Mr. Yamasaki announced. Great, just great… I pounded the table roughly in exasperation as the teacher made his way around the desks, collecting homework and excuses as he went.

"What's the matter?" Ken asked me. I began to knock my head continuously on the edge of the table, hoping I would be bruised enough that I would have to go to the nurse's office and avoid Mr. Yamasaki from collecting my homework.

"I left my homework at Daisuke's house!" I answered him. I continued to try and bruise my head on the table.

"Indy, if you keep doing that, you give yourself amnesia!" Ryo hissed at me. I sat up straight and glared at him.

"It will not!" I snapped. Ken cleared his throat, obviously signaling me to face forward. I did so. It turned out Mr. Yamasaki was standing right next to me. The whole class silenced as if all the attention was focused onto me.

"Miss Yushini, do you have your homework assignment?" He asked. I shook my head.

I'm sorry Mr. Yamasaki, but I'm afraid I forgot to bring my homework to school today." I answered him. I them looked at the papers that Mr. Yamasaki was holding to see that they were clenched tightly inside Mr. Yamasaki's fist. He walked back up to his desk and slammed both his fists onto the top.

"ALL RIGHT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! ALL STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE THEIR HOMEWORK TODAY WILL DO IT IN DETENTION!" He roared "AND THEY WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL THEY HAVE FINISHED BOTH TONIGHT'S AND FRIDAY'S HOMEWORK!"

Most of the students groaned. I was upset. I had never been in detention before. Ryo and Ken took this opportunity to try and scare me. I'm not that easy to scare, unless you count me against my arachnophobia (fear of spiders).

"I heard that they hang students upside down and put them in a giant tank in detention…"Ken began with an evil grin.

"Yeah, and the tank is filled with spiders!" Ryo continued. It was obvious that this was not true..

"Shut up! You guys are lying!" I said and continued doing math problems Mr. Yamasaki wrote on the board.

Soon the bell rang and it was time for gym. The girls all went into the locker room to change into their gym uniform, and the boys did the same in the boy's locker room. I went to my locker and began to change. I hate the gym uniform we have to wear. The shirt and shorts are too tight. It feels like one of those wet suits that scuba divers wear, only a little looser.

I had almost finished tying my left shoe when Keiko Matasubi, one of the ever-so-popular girls, walked up to me.

"Hey, Indigo, is it true that you have a crush on Motou Sakubashi?" she asked. I glared at her. Motou was the most popular guy in school. He was on the track and football team. Most girls think he's cute, but to me, he's just one of those muscle-heads without a brain that everybody looks up to just because he's athletic.

"No, it's no true. Why?" I asked cautiously.

"Oh, no reason. I just heard that he liked you, but I'm not sure…" Keiko said, walking off. I believed her as much as I believe Daisuke has an IQ of 200. I shrugged it off, tied my shoe, and walked into the gym.

I slipped into the back of the class, next to Ryo and Ken. They were in the boy's gym uniform. To me this was no fair, their uniform hung loose, allowing them the ability to move quickly. I had to admit they both looked better in the gym uniform than the regular one.

"What are we doing today?" I asked.

"Rope climbing!" Ms. Pakio, our gym teacher, said. She's on of my favorite teachers, but sometimes she pushes us a bit to hard.

I was one of the many students that groaned. Rope climbing was one the humiliating gym exercises we have to do. One student steps out of the class to climb up a 20 foot rope and ring the bell at the top. Sounds easy right? Well, try having 31 people screaming or laughing at the top of their lungs directly at you. Ha! Not so easy any more.

I crossed my fingers, wishing that I wouldn't be the first to go. Guess what? I was first. I sighed and made my way to the yellow rope hanging from the ceiling. Ms. Pakio readied her stopwatch and blew the whistle, telling me to start.

I began climbing the ropes, ignoring the various wolf whistles that came from the boys. I continued making my up the rope and almost reached the top, when my hands slipped, and I fell down onto the mat laid out underneath the rope. I continued a couple of times, but still kept slipping. I sat down and looked up at the bell. Will I ever reach the top?
