Chapter 3: Meeting Him for the First Time
"Hello. Are you Kenshin Himura?" Marie's math teacher asked a new student. He nodded. She had him introduce himself. He did as he was told. He said the same things about himself as Marie had learned. Then her teacher pointed to a seat. "Next to Marie." She said. Marie's eyes widened. She had that 'WHAT!?' look on her face. The teacher nodded. She said, "The girl in the black t-shirt. And the high heeled black leather boots that reach to her knees. In the jean skirt. With the black hair and blue green eyes." Marie was then thinking 'Just tell the world who I am.' She sunk down in her seat. She didn't want him to sit next to her! What if he said something to her? She couldn't talk to him! "Hey Marie. Why so afraid?" A girl asked from behind Marie. Marie spun around. It was her arch-enemy, Melissa Watts. She hated that girl for one reason. She was a brat, a stuck up brat. 'Why me?' Marie thought.
"Yeah. And he sits next to me in math! What if he needs help or something?" Marie asked Julie as she got into her car to go home. "Just help him." She responded. Marie shook her head. "I'm still not sure I can speak to him." Marie said. Julie explained she had to get over that and speak to him. Marie waved goodbye and went home.
"So what? He still sits there. I can't make him move." Marie screamed at her little brother. His name was Jacob, and his hair was red, like their mother's. His eyes were they same color as Marie's. Then she heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" cried Jacob. He ran to the door. He opened. Guess who it was.Kenshin! He found her address in the phonebook, and came over to her house. She ran upstairs. "She's just in her room, the second floor, third door to the left on your right." Jacob explained. Kenshin thanked him and followed his directions.
"Hello." He said when he entered. Marie was on her bed, brushing her calico cat. It was named Abigail. She looked over to the doorway. She grabbed her notebook. "Hello" she wrote in big letters. "I brought this over. You left it at school and you may need it." Kenshin said, handing her her math book. "Thank You" she wrote in big letters on the next page of her notebook. "You're welcome" Kenshin said as he left her room. 'I have to know one thing.' She thought to herself. "Wait." She called. Kenshin came back. "Uh.I forgot what page to do." She said. 'What am I doing? I wasn't supposed to talk to him. I didn't want to.' She thought. "You're supposed to do page 345." He answered. Marie nodded. "Thanks." She said. Kenshin nodded. She motioned for him to follow her out to her living room. He followed.
"I have to go. The movie was..interesting. Thanks." He said, right before he woke up from dreaming because his mother said "Time to get up for school."
