Crossing Paths - Chapter Two
I shake it off, and take a glance at my schedule. Ugh, personal fitness first. Damn it. Not something I want to be doing first thing in the morning everyday. Did I even sign up for that class? I don't remember. I hear the bell ring. Shit, I'm late. I jog the rest of the way to class. I don't need to be five minutes late. I open the gym doors, and I already receive a hard look from Mr. Trenton. I smile apologetically, and he shakes his head. "In the locker room, Ishida." He says. I nod in reply and walk into the locker room.
I take a look around once inside. I hope someone good is in my class. Let's see, there's Daisuke, Ken, and Takeru. Don't talk to them much in school, maybe because we have no classes together actually. There's Koushiro, now why the hell would he be in this class? Um, Mike and Jeff are in this class too? They must be out of their minds. My eyes travel around the locker room, I don't seem to see anyone else that I would really care about in this class.
I hear the locker room door open; I expect Mr. Trenton to walk in, but to my surprise it's Taichi. Wow, my day just keeps getting better. Not. He walks past me and up to Daisuke and Takeru. I look at Mike and Jeff. Mike mouths something that I don't quite catch, he grins crookedly after. I figure it's something I should take offense to, so I flip him off. He and Jeff laugh, and I shake my head.
They finally walk over to me when Mr. Trenton walks into the locker room. He goes through regulations, blah blah blah, nobody cares. Finally it's over with and we're assigned lockers. Mike is assigned on my right and Daisuke on my left. At least it's no one horrible. The rest of the class was uneventful. Not much can happen when all the teacher does is talk. The bell rings and I take out my schedule. I look at Mike, "What class do you have next?" I ask.
"Ugh, Psychology. What about you?" He says pouting.
"Um, Trigonometry." I say as I look at my schedule. "You know, I swear I didn't sign up for that class."
Mike shrugs. "You must have. You wouldn't have it otherwise." He sighs. "I don't know, but I don't want Psychology. I'm gonna drop it."
I give him a skeptical look. "I thought that's what you wanted to do. Be a Psychologist?"
"I do." He says shrugging again.
Before I can say another word, Jeff bounces over to us. "Hey guys!" He says happily.
We both look at him suspiciously "What's your problem?" I ask.
"Nothing." He says just as happily.
"Right." I say. "Anyway, what's your next class?"
"I have Physics." He replies bouncing off.
"What do you think his problem is?" Mike asks once he's gone.
I shrug. "I have no idea. Your guess is as good as mine." I sigh at look at the clock in the hallway. "Well, I should get to class." I say walking off.
I walk into the room just as the bell rings. I look around the class room for a seat. I should really get to class earlier. Especially if I plan on getting a good seat. Meaning one in the very back. I sigh to myself, and take a seat in the front row next to Koushiro. I look at him and roll my eyes. "I should really get here earlier next time." I say to him.
He nods and laughs. "Yeah, that way you can get a seat in the back."
I laugh too. "Exactly. I hope um, whoever is teaching this class doesn't assign these seats. I don't want to be stuck in this seat all semester, no offense." I mutter as the teacher walks in.
"None taken." He replies quietly.
The rest of the class quiets down as the teacher begins to speak. "Well class, welcome to Trigonometry..." You know after a while you tend to tune teachers out, no matter what. You could even try to be listening and you still won't be able to pay attention. Well, except for Koushiro, he can pay attention in anything. The first day of school is always the worst, you find out your new classes. Then you sit through every one and try to listen to the teachers but you really can't because you heard it all the year before.
The teacher is interrupted when the door flies open, and in run Taichi. God, he's like everywhere! I can't get away from him. Lord help me. "Sorry." He says out of breath. "I couldn't find the classroom."
The teacher nods and says. "Fine, Mr. Yagami. Take a seat next to Yamato."
He nods and sits down next to me. The teacher begins to talk again, and once again I tune her out, but not before she says, "I'm assigning these seats for the first semester." Shit. I think I'm going to drop this class and Personal Fitness. Yeah. Take something else. I swear I didn't sign up for these classes. I remember signing up for Physics and Chemistry. I also signed up for World History and Business Law. But, I'm definitely dropping this class. The bell ringing snaps me out of my thoughts. "Well, don't forget to do the homework!" I hear the teacher say. Um, what homework? I look down at my desk and there's a book laying there. Great. We already have homework, lovely.
I grab my book, and file out of the classroom with the rest of the students. I turn to Koushiro, "What class do you have next?" I ask.
"Economics, I think." He replies. Hm, well, he's not in my class then. Business Law next.
I walk in the Business Law room. Good, no body's here. I walk to the back of the room and take a seat in one of the last desks in the row. A few seconds later Mike walks in. Thank God. He takes the seat in front of mine. He turns around and says, "Man, am I glad you have this class. I was afraid I'd be the only dumb person in here."
"Oh, gee thanks." I say, laughing.
He shakes his head. "You know what I mean." He laughs also.
I watch as more people file in. Daisuke walks in, and takes a glance around the room. His eyes land on me and he smiles. I smile back and point to the desk next to me. He nods and walks back to me. He sits down just as the bell rings. "Hey." He says.
"Hey. Didn't think you'd take this class." I reply, flicking a little piece of paper off my desk.
Daisuke just shrugged. "I wasn't gonna. But it was the only free class I could take, and I didn't want Health."
Mr. Gerant clears his throat as he walks into the classroom. "Okay class, I'm going to pass out books and then we're going to get started."
"Ah, shit." I mutter. "Work already."

Aero-Grrl: Sorry this chapter is so boring. The next one will be better, I promise. More Tai in the next chapter. I have up until chapter four written. But the reason why I haven't posted anymore is because my internet connection is screwed up, and I can't get online. Right now I'm on my dad's computer, and I won't be able to post from this computer again. I'm really sorry, I don't know when I'll be back online. Hopefully soon though! But please review! And thanks again to everyone who has! -Ciao
