CHAPTER ONE: GREETINGS
My alarm clock goes off. It's 6:00.
Alright, I think to myself, time for school. So I get up and get dressed. I don't like public showers, and I take long baths in the lake right next to the dorm at night.
It's 6:10 by now and it's almost time for my first class.Algebra I. I only have four classes, so it's not too bad, except for the hour-long speech our English teacher gives us. After that I have lunch, and then off to Spanish and then Chemistry.
I like chemistry. One time I made a compound equivalent to that of a small atom bomb. The teacher made me throw it down the drain, though (and that wasn't too good for the plumbing, either)
So I make my way down to Algebra, and I bump into some freak girl with blue hair.
"Watch it, punk," I tell her. I could tell that she was new here, since I saw here holding her class schedule.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized and started to walk off.
"Hey," I stopped her. "Where ya headin'?"
"Oh, um." I waited patiently for her to unfold the green piece of paper. "Algebra."
"Oh, what a coincidence," I said, half surprised. "Just follow me." I started to walk off and I noticed that she didn't move.
"You comin'?" I asked.
"Hi, I'm Aqua Williams," she held out her hand, symbolizing a hand shake.
I started to grasp her and but noticed that I didn't have my gloves on. Damn, I thought.
"I'm Sierra," I told her. She seemed kind of offended that I didn't take her hand. "I don't shake," I tried to comfort her.
"Why?" she asked. "Are you a germaphobe?"
I hesitated. No one's ever asked me why I don't touch them, so I decided just to go with the flow.
"Yeah, I'm germaphobic." She was convinced and we started off towards our first class.
