*Ugh. Another cloudy day,* thought Tristan as he walked to school.
"Hey Tristan! What's up?" Tristan turned around only to see his friend Yugi running, trying to catch up to him. "Hey, isn't there supposed to be a new kid today? From England?"
"Yeah. Did you catch the name?"
"No, sorry Tristan. I don't think they mentioned it. We'd better hurry if we want to make it to class on time."
As the announcements ended, Joey and Tristan got ready for their daily game of Spitball. It's sort of like paintball, I suppose, only the players have to be sitting down and the first one to get caught loses. Joey always lost. Of course, being so loud (no offense, Joey Wheeler fans!), it makes sense.
"Class!" everybody jumped. Looked like the spitball game would have to be cancelled. Even in the excitement the rest of the class had when Joey and Tristan were about to duke it out with chewed up wads of paper, there was silence. "As I mentioned on Friday, we have a new student: Kevin." As the teacher said the name, a person stepped through the door. To everyone's amazement, even the teacher's, Kevin was a girl! The teacher looked down at the slip of paper in his hands. "Er.yes, Kevin. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin is from England. Would you care to say something about yourself dear?"
A smidge uncomfortable by being called 'dear' by a person she didn't even know, Kevin shook her head. "No, thanks." *After all, it is a new class, a new school. They can't expect me to pour out where all I've been and stuff. It would take too long. And there's no WAY I'm going to mention Rome. * Kevin could tell (she was used to it by now) that the whole class was surprised that her name was Kevin. (Yes, Kevin CAN be a girl's name. I looked in a book of names. ^__^)
"Well, er, Kevin, eh, um, you may pick your seat." Naturally, Kevin had to sit in the back. She didn't really want to, but all of the front seats were filled (curse those nasty seating charts). She couldn't see the chalkboard, but she had an excellent view of someone's tall blond hair.
*It's really a shame that I have to be the guinea pig. I mean, they practically told me I had to go somewhere. I mean, I may have had experience as a traveling student, but this is ridiculous! First that.incident.in Rome, now this!* Kevin sighed as she took out her workbook and started.
