"The First Day"
Bakura's Point of View...
~I walked through the hallway, trying to find the room, A212. I had absolutely no idea where it was, so I just stumbled through the empty corridors looking at every door. When I finally reached my classroom, I took a step in, and in doing so, interrupted the teacher mid-sentence.
Mistake #1.
She paused and turned toward me, hands on hips. "Who are you?" She demanded.
"Bakura Ryou." She gave me a stern look. She seemed sort of old for a teacher, and also looked like the kind of person who stuck with first impressions.
"Really?" She took her attendance book from her desk and checked it over. "You don't seem to be on my list."
"I just transferred here." I explained, shifting from one foot to another. I felt strange to have a whole class staring at me.
Mistake #2.
"I expect students to stand still when they are addressing me." She shot me another nasty look before scribbling down my name. "And what makes you think you can walk into my class, 10 minutes late?"
"I was lost, I didn't know how to get here..." Unsure of what to say, I trailed off. The whole class snickered.
"I also expect students to be here on time, and never leave a sentence like that." She pointed at the seat next to her desk. "You can sit here." She picked up her marker and took up writing again.
I felt my face flush as I took the seat.
Lapse of Time...
The morning seemed to take forever. It was finally lunch and the whole class filed down to the cafeteria. I noticed that most people didn't have any lunch boxes, and instead, had money with them. I soon realized that nearly no one packed lunch- everyone bought.
Lunch wasn't that bad, I suppose. I sat by myself and at least no one really bothered me. A couple kids pointed at me and giggled, but otherwise than that, nothing happened.
Recess was the bad part.
I was just about to put on my coat and go outside to the playground just like everyone else, when the teacher stopped me. "Excuse me, but you are required to write out 100 times, 'I will not be late for class' before you can go out." I stared at her for a moment then sighed. Taking the paper she handed me, I sat down and began writing.
Lapse of Time...
It was time for music class and everyone sat down. The music room didn't have desks, only chairs arranged to look like an orchestra. The teacher, who was very enthusiastic, smiled at me and gave me a seat in the front row. As soon as I saw down, the boy next to me got up and moved away.
The teacher frowned and said, "John, Bakura is all alone. Please return to your seat." The boy- John- was about to protest, but the music teacher wasn't going to accept his complaint. "Now, please." He sighed and complied, all the while muttering under his breath that he didn't want to sit next to the "stupid new kid".
The rest of the day was worse. I couldn't wait until I got home and could talk to the Spirit. Or to use my knife.~
Kaehimi: I tried to make it sound like he was in elementary school, or something like that. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Excuse of the Chapter: AWWW...my new boyfriend gave me this beautiful silver and golden necklace. He is so sweet! ^_^
