Okay, so it took me forever to update again. I'm really sorry. You can
expect updates very often, maybe even weekly in the future now that
Sapphire is finished. Tristan's Biggest Mistake is the only story I have
to update now! Yes!
Serenity walked up the stone steps to the high school. Right now, she really wished that Domino hadn't eliminated the uniform rules. Why had she been stupid enough to go through with this? She looked down. Her supermodel clothes glared back, making her feel as dumb as ever. She took a deep breath and stepped inside.
She almost expected Domino High School to have changed, but of course it was the same as always. She was the one who was different. The in-school suspension teacher gave her a once-over and scowled disapprovingly. That teacher in particular was known for her strict dress-code observation. Serenity chose to ignore this. She walked down all the halls until she reached the tenth-grade wing. She walked past all the classrooms, until she reached her homeroom. She walked to her desk. She was, in fact, early. It was planned this way. The less gaping eyes, the better. She unpacked and gathered her books. With a little difficulty she walked to her first class. She had to climb stairs. She clung on for dear life.
The other students began to stream in, little by little. Each stopped for a moment to gawk at the 'new Serenity'. She just gave each a small smile. Mai walked in, and gave Serenity as thumb's up. She grinned.
Her first period class went by fairly uneventfully. All that happened mainly was a few stares from some of the boys, and the guy that sat behind her kept giving her this weird look that freaked her out. Both of these could be ignored. Mai helped her to her next class.
The next class was as different from the last as black from white. You ask why? I bet you could guess. This was the class she had with Joey and Tristan. One word (You guessed it): Uh-oh.
She walked into the classroom, thank goodness; luck had stayed by her side (For right now). She and Mai were the first ones there. Taking a seat in the back of the class. She waited.
The first person to walk in was Tea. She gasped, dropping all her books.
"Serenity! How could this be?! I thought it was all a twisted rumor!" she said, acting like she was gasping for breath. "Why?"
Serenity shrugged. "I wanted something different." Tea just gave her a horrified glance and sat down on the front row.
The next person to walk in was the man of the moment, Joey Wheeler. He followed suit to Tea, except instead of horrified, he was mad. He ran up to Serenity.
"Serenity, stand up," he said. Serenity did as she was told, but with an air of indifference.
"They were telling the truth," Joey said angrily. "Why did you dress like that?"
"Because I felt like it," Serenity said, in a voice she had practiced thousands of times in the mirror the night before.
Joey knew nothing to do but sit by Mai.
"Why did she dress like that?" he asked.
"Because she felt like it," Mai said flirtatiously, with a wink. Joey gave her an exhausted look. "Fine, all I'll say is she's trying to impress a guy," Mai said. Joey looked excited. This kind of caught Mai off guard, because she thought that for sure he'd throw a tantrum.
"Be right back!" he shouted, and ran out into the hallway. He came back in in a moment, accompanied by Tristan, who smiled at Serenity and winked. She wondered for a while what this gesture meant. Finally she just shook her head and went back to worrying about what Seto would think.
Rocket scientist as he is, Tristan sat down at a seat where his view of Serenity was awful. He took out a book and started to read.
The rest of the students filed in, and class began. Tristan put his book away, and Joey and Mai stopped talking. Everybody but Serenity paused his or her activities to listen to what the teacher said. She, however, continued to worry about what Seto would say in third period. The teacher droned on, and many people lost attention. This was, of course, impossible for Serenity, because she had never given her full attention. Tristan was among the group of minds that wandered.
Persistent as he was, he was giving his best effort to get a view of Serenity. He leaned as far to the right as possible. As far as impossible. With a creak, the chair toppled over. Tristan toppled with it.
The class exploded with laughter. His cheeks turned bright pink.
"Mr. Taylor, is their anything you need to share with us?" the teacher asked. The class howled.
"I'm fine," Tristan mumbled, and turned his chair back to its upright position. After Tristan was sitting back down and the class was settled, the class went on pretty much as usual.
Afterwards, Serenity walked back downstairs. Unfortunately, she didn't have this class with Mai. Oh well. Back to hanging on for dear life.
She sincerely doubted that Seto would freak out as much as everybody else. She hoped that that was a good thing.
****
Passable? I hope so. Like I said, the next update should be pretty soon, since this is the only story I have left to worry about. I just got really freaked out that I had lost this entire chapter, but I had to go through today and yesterday's complete update history to find it. Lol. My computer has an arrogant mind of its own. Go figure.
