New Light

Chapter 2

"Yagami-san"

It's soft and fluffy and…

"Yagami-san…"

Oh look! Long tail sprouts from its back.

"YAGAMI HIKARI!!"

Huh, what? It's running away!!

"YAGAMI!!!" the sensei roared with such power that the entire roof was lifted off and flounced in the air angrily for a while before been pulled down once more by earth's gravity.

I snapped –

– looked

– grinned, a flashy smile… and –

– I slept again.

Oh boy, you should have looked at the sensei's face. It was a crimson red. I mean how could anyone stand three whole hours of non-stop lecturing about the history of Macedonia? Listen here mister, I know all 'bout Macedonia from the top to the bottom right between my finger tips.

Okay, I know that's a little bit over-exaggerating but hey, I knew something at least. And second, just to make my account of life a bit more interesting. But hey, believe it or not, I read them off from an ancient scroll. Hahaha, not funny.

I was momentarily dazed. I merely transfixed my gaze upon his grumpy face and flashed an adoring smile and muttered a nondescript "Sorry," cheerfully. It works all the time, trust me.

"Miss Yagami Hikari, if you wish not to pay any attention in my class please leave now right away before I, I –"

"Squash me into pulps?" I smiled sweetly.

"Yes, I'll squash – NO, NO!!" his face was now as red as the wicked witch's apple and the class exploded with laughter. I had a good laugh myself too.

However, I could see that the lecturer could tolerate no longer with my childish behavior and I excused myself immediately just to mend the situation. I, after all, wished not to spoil my reputation on the first day of school (I already did anyway) and History was not my kind my subject anyway. Something which I can't apprehend from primary school itself till now. I took my respectably books and bounced out of the class joyfully. Another problem solved for the day. I couldn't be more happy than now.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Heard about the new ignorant girl?"

"Huh, what?" Sora blinked her eyes a few times. "Who, what?"

"You aren't paying attention to what I was saying, are you?" Miyako sighed in desperation. "I heard the girl budged out from Mr. James class like nobody's business. Can you believe that? Even me didn't have the dignity to do that!"

"You mean you don't have the wits to do that?" Sora pointed out.

Miyako, however ignored her and continued to babble on. "She's one heck of a girl, I tell ya!"

"Hmm…I wonder." Sora responded playfully and gave a small laugh. "A new girl you say?"

"Yeah. Haven't I told you that for the forth time today?"

"You did? And I thought it was the third."

"Whatever…" Miyako mumbled indignantly.

"You really tickled me pink, Miyako."

More silent flowed out from Miyako's mouth. Sora smiled knowingly.

"Yo, girls!" Certain harsh footsteps herald the presence of Mister-Pea-Brained and his gangs.

"Why, if it isn't Mister-I'm-so-bloody-smart-and-so-unbelievingly-rich-too, I thought I just saw an alien greet me just now." Miyako scowled fumingly.

"Well, well, I just spotted a pink weirdo from a distance and couldn't help but take notice of it." Daisuke smug happily and flashed a winning smile. Luck was on his side that day.

On the other hand, Miyako was fuming, no, flaring with lava as he stared into the blue weirdo. And he, stared into the pink weirdo. The contact stretched unnecessarily. And thank goodness, it was Yamato who broke the ice.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing," Sora looked away as if afraid to meet his eyes. "Just hanging around."

"Till the aliens alienated us that is," Miyako continued harshly, emphasizing on the word 'alienated' unnecessarily.

"Alien?" Takeru, who had just arrived to join the party of four, was indeed perplexed. "Am I missing anything while I wasn't around?"

"Stay out of this, Takayo. It's between me and the pink weirdo."

"It's Takeru." He sighed.

"What??!!" Miyako took an unfeasibly big step forward and raised her fist threateningly. "Shut up you blue weirdo from outer space! Oh who are you to call me that?" And then a tiny smirk played on her lips. "Oh yeah, your father is rich, isn't he? Perhaps he adopted you from the planet of Pluto to dominate the world and turn it into blue sphere just like Pepsi Blue (No idea why Pepsi Blue…no offence though.). Muahahahaha…"

The others who was witnessing the entire exchange between the two weirdoes gave an exasperated sigh and merely shrugged. It was then I made my first appearance and totally ruined the 'entire exchange of the weirdoes'.

"WAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

I went out of balance for I had just stepped a slippery banana skin (Where did that came out from? A/N: I just magicked it out of the air for the sake of the story. Oh…) and the icicle I held a moment ago was now gone. I fell, face first on the ground, followed by my entire self. How embarrassing. But hey, the word 'embarrassing' did not exist in my dictionary.

"Oops!" I cried and when I finally realized my icicle landed on top of the blue weirdo's head I met this morning, I couldn't help but –

"AAHHH!!! My icicle!!!!!!! Give me back my icicle you blue weirdo!!!!" I went ballistic. Just couldn't control it but that's what makes this story interesting you see.

I heard a small laugh from the girl beside him. A pink weirdo which somehow reminded me of… the ATTACK OF THE PINK BUNNIES!!!

Just as I was about to inspect further of the pink haired teen, I felt a tug on my wrist and soon I was on my feet. The lovely lady helped me brushed off the dusts which have settled unapprovingly on my skirts and untangled my tangled hair. She even offered me her napkin to wipe my sleep clean. It was very sweet of her to do that but can't you see I'm busy here? I stared at her for a moment and a surge of recognition attacked me once again. Why did it happen so many times today?

I felt eyes were been laid on me and as I cast my gaze upon everyone else on the campus, another bright flash dazzled me. The sleeveless guy with brownish hair certainly looked familiar and so did the pink weirdo…

And –

"You're the girl who my brother dated last week!!!!!!" I screamed and pointed accusingly at the lady who had just helped me.

I heard her gasp and I smiled at my victory. You are going to be so dead, Taichi. However, I realized that the almond-hair guy expression suddenly took a worse turn. He was not smiling. Hmm…I wonder…

"Sora! You know her?" A voice called out and I turned my gaze once more to the speaker. That blue weirdo — I remembered!!!! My popsicle!!!

"Give me back my popsicle right now!!" I demanded.

He took of his sunglasses and pulled out the stick and the melting substance along. "If you insist so much, nah! You can have it."

My eyes widened. "Dumb ass! Buy me a new one!" I can be very, very demanding at times.

"What do you just SAY??!!" He boomed. You've just ruined my hairdo that cost more than anything you can afford and now you want me to pay you back??!! No way!!! Not in a million years!!"

I really felt like punching that bastard right on the spot. But at this moment, he came and saved me once more. "It's just popsicle Daisuke. It doesn't cost much." Takeru cooed.

"How about my new hairdo??" He shouted.

"It doesn't suit you. It's time you change it." The almond-hair guy commented coolly. Ah, I remembered! He's the famous guy who is every girl's idol. And I heard it he play guitar and owned a band too. Ugh, never mind. This guy is more important to deal with.

"Damn." I heard him cursed. I guessed I won.

He handed me a few yens which I ignored totally. "I don't feel like eating Popsicle anymore. Besides, who wants money from a blue weirdo who now looks like he had just grown a pair of antenna which was sticking out from his head." I smothered a laugh behind my cupped hands and pointed at the so-called antennas.  

"That was a good one! You go girl!" The pink weirdo cheered. I smiled and faced the guy who saved me twice today.

"Arigato Takeru-san and you…" my voice faded off.

"Yamato."

"Yamato-san. Arigato."

I bowed and dismissed myself immediately. "Hey, let me help you." The pink weirdo offered but somehow I did not resist it. She pulled the girl who my brother dated along (Lol) and we disappeared around a corner. What a day it had been!

To be Continued….I hope.
