Chapter 7: Not So Boring After All

As Serena approached the bus stop, she watched in despair as bus number 4 -- her bus -- screeched down the street. Groaning, she spun around and began to sprint across town towards Seikou High School.

She flew across the street, her long, blonde pigtails flowing behind her as she ran. With every step she took, a sharp pain shot through her leg. Damn, she thought, her pace slowing down to a quick stride.

I never knew Enoshima was so big, Serena thought, despite the fact that her town was actually quite small.

"Told ya I'd see you later, Meatball head!" a voice called out haughtily. Looking around the street murderously, a sleek red convertible zoomed past her -- her 'stalker' sitting in the front seat. [AN: In case you didn't notice, her "stalker" is Darien, but she still doesn't know his name]

He casually waved, pulling down his dark sunglasses to wink mischievously at her. She glared enviously and childishly stuck out her tongue at the quickly disappearing car.

Sighing, she glanced nervously at her watch and continued running towards her school.

She sprinted past Raye's temple and rounded the corner. She could hear the bell chiming a block away. Wiping the sweat off her brow, she shook her head, tiredly and took a deep gulp of air. She had to stop. Her leg ached and her head felt light and dizzy. Despite her years of training, she deeply loathed running.

A few minutes later, she burst into the doors of the main hallway, whipped out her class schedule, and ran up the stairs.

The bell rang again as she reached the top of the building.

"NO! Wait!" She screamed as the teachers quickly closed the door. Skidding to a stop, she juggled the door's handle. LOCKED! What's up with her? Great, she thought. I get the cranky teacher.

She smoothed out her uniform, shifted her book bag, and knocked timidly on the door.

"Yes?" the teacher asked coldly, her eyes filled with malice. "May I help you?"

"Um . . . I was wondering if I could be let into the classroom!" Serena said politely.

"Fine, but don't be late for my class again . . ." she spat cruelly, glancing down at her attendance sheet. "Miss Tsukino. Take a seat by . . . Yori."

Serena bent her head graciously and scuttled past her new teacher. A few moments of awkward silence later, Serena timidly squeaked, "Um . . . who's Yori?"

Her face flushed furiously as the classroom rang with laughter. The teacher briskly quieted the class as a timid voice from the back of the classroom answered Serena's question.

"I'm Yori."

Grinning embarrassingly, Serena trudged to the back of the classroom and sat next to the shy girl that had spoken.

" I am Miss Takahashi. This class is going to be a rugged road, where only the ambitious and hardworking will survive. Those who are often late, or caught slacking in their studies . . . " she glared viciously at Serena, who sunk back into her seat. " Will not make it far in my classroom."

As Miss Takahashi continued to warn the nervous students, Serena subtlely leaned over towards Yori and asked, "I haven't seen you before . . . are you new?"

Yori whispered in a tiny voice, "I was in your class last year. I came the last week of the school year. I think Miss Madenokoji introduced me to the class when you were sleeping."

"I was NOT sleeping. I was . . . uh . . . resting my eyes!" Serena pouted, her lips forming into a wry smile.

"Yeah . . . sure . . . you were resting your eyes while snoring with your mouth wide open!"

"Yep . . . that's it!"

They looked at each other and began giggling quietly.

Maybe this class won't be so boring after all, Serena thought, smiling.
