Chapter #5: First Day (II)
*~*~*Elaya's POV*~*~*
Joey told me that the first bell that rings in the morning is to warn you that you have ten minutes left to get to your homeroom. After that, you have five minutes in between classes to get your books for your next class. Since today is the first day of school and the first day of the schedule, I can go to my homeroom class...Room 105 for Chemistry with a Mrs. Hopple. I wonder if I have Yugi, Téa or Tristan in this class.
RING RING
Was that the first bell? It must have been. I need to find this damn room.
"Hey! Elaya! Over here!" a little voice shouts from behind me. I then see Yugi and Téa running to try and catch up to me.
"Hey Yugi! Hey Téa!" I cried as I walk up to them. "What do you have homeroom? What are your other classes?"
Yugi starts "Well, me and Téa both have Chemistry with Mrs. Hopple for homeroom, and that's all we know. We get our schedules in our homeroom class. You probably already got yours since your new, right?"
"Yeah, and I have homeroom with you guys!" I smile knowing that I have someone to pass notes to in class. "Uh, where is this room exactly?"
"Come on, we'll show you," Téa smiled, "It's just down the hall." We continued to walk and talk until we reached our destination.
The room wasn't that big. It had a green chalkboard at the front with the teacher's desk in front of it. In front of the teacher's desk were rows upon rows of student desks. Yugi, Téa and I went for three desks that were near the middle of the room. There were posters of the Periodic Table, posters of the structures of different elements and many tools around the room. The teacher entered the room after us. She was average height with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a tight blue V-neck top with a short black skirt.
"Morning" she said. We said the same back. "Don't get too comfortable there; I might need to move people around. Are you new here?" she asked me.
"Yes." I answered. I walked up to her desk and deposited a folder with all my information in it. With it came the note as to why I was wearing the wrong uniform. She nodded and told Yugi and Téa that they could give me a tour around the school after she gave out her instructions for the day. I figured that it wouldn't be a lot, it is the first day of school after all.
Soon, the second bell rang and the rest of the class came in. She greeted everyone with a smile, but she didn't get many in return. Mrs. Hopple told the class that I was new and asked me to tell everyone about myself. I resisted.
"Oh come on, Ms. White. I'm sure that everyone here would love to listen to your story. Are you afraid of public speaking?"
"No," I said leaning back in my chair, "but the way I see it, if they want to know stuff about me they can ask me themselves. Plus, the less they know about me, the better" A couple of snickers were heard amongst the room. The teacher sighed and continued on with the class.
"Welcome to gr. 12 Chemistry. I'm your teacher Mrs. Hopple and I will be handing out your schedules shortly. This course isn't the easiest in the world, but I'm always here after school in this room to help you with your concerns." She began to hand out the schedules. Yugi and Téa compared with me. We also had Math together with Joey and Mr. Hogan.
The teacher began to tell us what we needed for this class: one two ½- inch binder, eight dividers and other stuff like that. She told us that our textbooks cost $65 each if they are lost. Next, we copied pointless notes about correct behaviour. She gave me the school's lock to put on my locker—which by the way, I haven't found yet. Then, she finally gave out our agendas. By this time 15 minutes went by, so she started the first unit of ionic and covalent bonds and their properties. I could feel that Justi was listening in on this lesson.
\\ It is okay, right? I want to get caught up. \\ Justi said as she analyzed the different formulas on the board. She seemed to understand it well.
// Yeah, sure! If you want, you can do my homework! // She didn't respond to that.
After 35 minutes of notes, she gave us questions to answer for homework; I did them in class. We had half an hour of free time so she told Yugi and Téa that they could give me that tour.
*~*~*Yugi's POV*~*~*
"Homework! On the first day of school...I can't believe it!" Téa cried as we left the class.
"I already finished it; it's not that hard at all." Elaya said. Téa just looked at her as if she was crazy. "Covalent bonds are easy?" she asked. Elaya just giggled in response. After a moment of silence, Elaya asked, "So...where too?"
"Well, let's show you where your other classes are." I said. She handed me her schedule and Téa and I guided her. We also showed her where her locker was. She opened it, threw her skateboard and bag inside and locked it.
"Your locker should be near Joey's," Téa reasoned, "They go in alphabetical order here. Your last names are very close together; unless, of course, someone gets moved here." Elaya smiled and then she noticed our music room. "What's in there?" she asked.
"That's our music equipment room. Do you play an instrument?" I asked her.
"As a matter of fact, I do. I used to take piano and now I'm taking guitar." she answered as we all moved towards the room.
She went straight to the piano and began to play the theme song of X- men. Her long fingers raced back and forth from one octave to another skillfully, almost without error. After Téa complimented her, she began to play Fur Elise when someone came into the room. It was one of the hall monitors.
"Playing on school equipment without authorized permission is against the rules. I'll hafta write you down for that AND for that large uniform infraction" he said, scribbling on the little pink sheets he kept in his pocket. He handed the slip to Elaya and she rolled her eyes, giving me the "You've got to be kidding me." look. She took it from his hands and read it over.
In her defense, Téa said, "Come on Greg, it's her first day!"
"I'm sorry Téa, but I can't cut anyone any slack. You're lucky that I didn't write you and Yugi down for skipping."
Elaya exploded. "Listen you little snitch. Yugi and Téa were just giving me a tour of this crummy school that way I won't get lost and get another slip from you! And for your info, it is my first day so sorry for touching 'the school's equipment without authorized permission'. Do you even know what that means?!" She then simply ripped the slip in two and placed it back in his hands.
"I don't have time for that. Come on you guys let's go." We left Greg alone in the music room and headed back up to Mrs. Hopple's class. I told Téa that I needed to talk to Elaya alone for a second so she went ahead of us.
"Elaya," I started, "How did you get the Millennium Scales? I want the full story this time." She looked down to me, and sighed before telling me the story of the glowing tablet, the mysterious walkway, and the man with the Key.
"There. Happy? That's my story...Take it, or leave it." She concluded.
Before I could ask her another question about the spirit inside the Scales or the power within it, Mrs. Hopple opened the door and told us to get inside because the bell was going to ring soon. I guess my questions would have to wait for third period.
/ Yami? / A pause. Where is this guy? It's not like he has somewhere to go!
\ Yes, Yugi? It's odd that you'd call me during school. \
/ I know...But are you sure that you sensed no evil? /
\ I am positive \ After this, I told him the story that Elaya just told me. Silence.
\ Be careful Yugi. I'm not sure what to make of this situation. \
*~*~*Elaya's POV*~*~*
Second period was a drag. Firstly, it was Biology with a teacher that couldn't teach her way out of a paper bag. I knew more answers than she did! And secondly, I had Tristan staring at me the entire time...until the teacher noticed this and said quite loudly,
"Mr. Taylor, do you have some fascination with Ms. White's chest?" I couldn't contain myself. I seriously fell out of my chair laughing. I actually began to like this teacher. Tristan turned beet red as the entire class snickered. When she finished teaching about cells, I walked over to him and asked him, "Why are you staring at me?"
His answer simple in reply, "I wasn't." I stared at him for a while.
"Sorry Tristan not interested." I smiled, "Friends? I mean that in the sense of nothing more, nothing less." I held out my hand so he could shake it.
He grabbed it with a smile on his face. "Sure!" He told me that he also had math third with Mr. Hogan. I told him that Joey, Yugi and Téa would be in that class.
"Do you mind if I walk you there?" he asked me sheepishly.
"Why not?"
So here we are at my locker. Tristan already had books and was waiting patiently. Téa was right; Joey's locker was near mine. Actually, we were locker neighbours. Even though Tristan disapproved of the idea of having Joey walk with us, I allowed it. Joey whispered in my ear "You're keeping him off my sister for awhile, thanks." when Tristan was tying his shoe. I didn't really want Joey to go into detail about that remark, so I didn't say anything.
Just as we were about to enter Mr. Hogan's room, a loud booming voice scolded us from behind.
"Excuse me, Ms. White, why are you wearing that uniform?" The secretary at the office must have told the principal to look out for a 'boy' with orange shoulder length hair. "Come with me for a moment." The real boys behind me were chanting, "Eeee. Elaya got in trouble!" but I was too far away to slap them at the sides of their heads.
The man with balding gray hair wearing a plain navy blue suit brought me to his office.
"Sir? Can this wait? I really need to get to class!" I protested. I highly doubt that he would listen anyway.
"This will only take a minute." Yeah right. This "minute" took over 20 just so he could explain the school's conduct about uniforms. Even though I explained to him that I couldn't wear the girls' uniform because of my height. Then, he says that I could of gotten it custom made. I said that money doesn't grow on trees. It's not like I'm poor or anything, I'm middle class and proud of it! After discussing the costs of the girls' uniform, he gave me the number of the company to get it custom made. I threw it out as soon as I left his sight.
Arriving late to class wasn't the smartest thing to do on the first day...bad impressions. I knocked on the door with a rhythm, until a tall middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes stared back at me.
"May I help you...uh...miss?" He was thrown off because of my uniform.
"Yes you may. I'm here to learn about the exciting world of algebra and trigonometry!" I kept my voice as sarcastic as possible. I don't think he got the sarcasm. "I'm in your class. I was kept in by the office that's why I'm late."
"Name?" He was beginning to sound like one of those guards at nightclubs.
"Elaya White." I put plainly. He checked his list and stepped aside. He said, "The seating plan is as followed. You are in alphabetical order...so you are behind Mr. Joey Wheeler." I took my seat without resisting. I know that I heard that name from somewhere. 'Joey Wheeler'...it'll come to me.
The teacher continued on as Joey gave me the notes I missed. We were starting with algebra. He gave us a pop quiz on the first day to test our smarts. He handed them back as soon as we handed them in. I got 100%; Joey almost failed with a 53%. "I HATE ALGEBRA!" he yelled almost ripping the test in two.
"Joey, don't worry, it's just the first test. It doesn't even count for your grade." Téa said. She got perfect too. Me and her did a high-five. Yugi and Tristan did okay... about 70% roughly.
"Nah, I was always bad in math. Barely passed last year." Joey said, still staring at his sheet as if looking at it could change his grade.
"You just need practice" Yugi said.
"Settle down, settle down." Mr. Hogan cried. "Take your seats and pull out your agendas, this is your homework for tonight." He began to write on the board. He had already given us our textbooks and the outline of the course. He also said that our lunch came after the period was over. They called it C lunch, the last lunch period of the day. Bummer.
Mr. Hogan then said that we had free time to do our homework until lunch. While everyone was talking and walking around, I finished my homework quickly. Justi was following along as well.
// Don't you find this stuff boring? // I asked her.
\\ I actually enjoy it \\ she said \\ you have a very strong mind. Use it. \\
Not understanding what she meant, I sighed and began to help Joey with his problems...and I mean the ones in his math book.
With some success, he completed his math work and instantly went over to Tristan, who wasn't very far away. He signaled Yugi, Téa and I to join them, but as soon as I got up, a boy with black hair and green eyes leaned over on my desk. He had a pack of girls around him as if he was a million dollars. He wasn't that good looking anyways kinda looked like a girl.
"Hey there gorgeous, my name is Duke." he said with a smirk. I stared at him with a raised eyebrow. Surprised by this action, he said, "Well, you know what they say about girls like you."
"Actually, I don't. What do they say?" I replied acting interested.
"They say that they can't resist guys like me."
"Oh, and what would that be? Guys that have so much pride and self- confidence packed into their brains about everything...that it's a wonder that their head doesn't explode?" "You have a smart mouth" he responded after taking in what I said. The love- sick girls behind him were practically fainting because of the remark I made. "I tell you what. I like girls like you...ready and willing to speak their minds. However, I don't like the fact that you'll use your mind against me. So, how about a little game?" He pulled out a cup and die. The boy put the die underneath the cup and continued, "If I can move the die into my right hand without moving the cup, then you'll go on a date with me."
"And if you don't, then I don't have to go on a date with you. Deal?" He was so full of it. He thought he could beat me at a cheap trick. "Deal." By this time, Joey, Tristan, Yugi, Téa and other classmates were all around us. Joey gave me this look as if I was doomed. I take it that he got tricked like this before.
After a couple of seconds, he said, "My physic powers tell me that the die is no longer there. See for yourself."
Instead, I pushed the cup forward. "I heard it. The die is still there." I did this to ensure that the die is closest to the edge of the cup that was facing me as possible.
"Your ears deceived you. That could have been the plastic scraping off the wood."
"Fine. I'll use my eyes this time." Joey moved his lips saying 'NO!' I lifted up the cup in a special way. As an alternative to just lifting the cup up vertically, I lifted it up on an angle, then flicking my wrist sharply so the die got scooped in the cup. As the die was airborne for that quick second, I grabbed it and made it fall into the cup. I did it fast enough so no one saw anything. The die 'appeared' to have vanished. Everyone, even Duke, was shocked.
"Wow! The die is really gone. But Duke, tell me..." I said, "Why is the die...in my right hand?" I opened my palm outward to reveal the die. I rolled the die around until the square with one dot faced me. "I guess it'll be dinner for one tonight, no?" I shoved the die back at him with the one dot facing him. "It looks like your eyes deceived you." The bell for lunch rang.
*~*
Alright! Elaya bet Duke at his own game! [Good for her] {Are you mocking my writing skills?} [No, I'm just making fun of them.] I never liked Duke. Anyway, Elaya also has a liking to magic and is pretty good at illusions. That is all. Next chappie soon!
Please review!

"Wow! The die is really gone. But Duke, tell me..." I said, "Why is the die...in my right hand?" I opened my palm outward to reveal the die. I rolled the die around until the square with one dot faced me. "I guess it'll be dinner for one tonight, no?" I shoved the die back at him with the one dot facing him. "It looks like your eyes deceived you." The bell for lunch rang.

Alright! Elaya bet Duke at his own game! [Good for her] {Are you mocking my writing skills?} [No, I'm just making fun of them.] I never liked Duke. Anyway, Elaya also has a liking to magic and is pretty good at illusions. That is all. Next chappie soon!
