A Walk in the Woods
(Title subject to change)
A Chilling Cold
I remember it was cold that day. I was walking faster then normal. The thickness of the fog caused my gaze to be hindered greatly; I could barely see 5 feet in front of me. My skirt flew up with passing cars, so I covered the front with my hands and quickened my pace.
You see, I went to a private school, which has a uniform code. Now, I'm a big anime fan, so of course I would wear the attire of a Japanese schoolgirl, but today I was ordered by the head master not to. Instead I wore today a long sleeve button up white shirt over it a black sweeter vast with a tie, my skirt was black and a little above my knees. My "loose socks" as they're called in Japan, covered my legs up to my knees. I kept them from slipping down with "sock glue", also done by Japanese schoolgirls and normal loafers covered my feet.
I stopped suddenly, feeling the cold and looked strait up and smelled the icy air. Something was different. It was foggy, but I sensed a storm brewing overhead.
I sighed and cured myself for forgetting my wool-hooded duster. How could I forget? I knew it was freezing outside; I just rushed and left before I could remember to grab it. To late now, Mother was gone. So was my bratty sister, off to public school. I got into this private school on a scholarship and my sister is too lazy to try. She's smart but not smart enough to realize that public schools are just not as good as private.
I rested my hands on the straps of my backpack and suddenly remember I had my gloves in my bag. I pulled them out as another car flew past and jumped as my skirt flew up again. Then I quickly put the gloves on and rushed forward.
I could see my breath as I breathed in and out. I reached the stoplight and waited for the green walking signal to light up. It did and I ran across fearing some idiot driving wouldn't stop and run me over. I reached the other side without any hit and runs. Thank god, I have a fear of getting hit by a car in case you couldn't tell. My father was killed like that, although it was before I was 6 so I hardly remember him. My sister doesn't remember him at all, sadly.
I could hear the school band pounding out one of its marching songs and I gave up any chance of being able to get there on time without running. So I ran, I heard the first bell and moved into a dead sprint. I slipped on a patch of ice and fell hard on the ground. Thank god my butt broke the fall. I got up as fast as I could and was very thankful that I didn't get hurt at all, only colder. I reached the steps of the school and was greeted with the sight of the head master.
"Terrance, late again I see." The head master said peering over his glasses.
"Yes, Mr. Jordan." I said back panting for breath.
"Half frozen as well. Where is your jacket?" He chuckled. Mr. Jordan was rather fond of me. He said to me once, when I was in his office for fighting with another girl, that I'm very outspoken and open-minded, and he liked the sort of thing in his students. I was always fighting with people. I would normally say it's not my fault, but now looking back on it all, yes it was in its entirety my fault. I'm very outspoken and very hotheaded, also very passionate about issues that are important to me.
I nodded my head "Well, I forgot it. Imagine that." I shrugged.
"Well today at least you look a little bit like a member of St. Johnson."
"Yes, well anything for you my lord and head master." I sarcastically bowed and stood. "Now if you excuse me I must get inside before I get frost bite!" I ran towards the doors and pushed my way in. Mr. Jordan followed closely behind and grabbed hold of my backpack; I stopped and turned to look at him. He gestured for me to come into his office. I slumped down into one of the chairs and breathed in the worm air.
"What'd I do now, oh great one?" I asked staring at the ceiling.
Mr. Jordan sat down at his desk and stared at me. "It seems Tami has been making threats towards you for weeks. Why didn't you tell me? I would have put a stop to it."
"I can handle it. She's just an immature brat!" and she was. I mean come on; we are in high school are we not? "She's all talk but no walk, trust me."
Mr. Jordan smiled at me and leaned back into his chair. "Yes, we all know you can handle it."
"Don't mock me." I sighed. Mr. Jordan nodded and handed me a hall pass insuring I would not get into any trouble with my homeroom teacher for being late. I stood up and snacked the pass out of his hand. I told him good day and walked to the door.
"Terrance, one more thing." I turned around "You know if you ever want to talk I'm always here." I nodded and turned back around. He always said that to me. It seemed like everyday he said that. Well today I had enough. I was sick of people pretending they wanted to listen to what I had to say.
"Mr. Jordan stop. That's enough. You wouldn't understand, not really anyway, so why let me explain?"
Mr. Jordan shrugged. "I don't know, but sometimes it's a good thing to get stuff of your chest."
I left his office and walked to my homeroom. I handed the hall pass the Mrs. Frany and took my seat. "Late again? Good thing Mr. Jordan likes you so much, or you would have been kicked out a long time ago."
I muttered curse words under my breath, then smiled at Mrs. Frany "Well, Mrs. Frany at least I'm not you. 'Cause if I was I would have killed myself a long time ago." Mrs. Frany bit her bottom lip and lectured on about history.
All through class, everyone gave me looks of annoyance and disgust. I doodled on my notebook and day dreamed about many things. I guess this would be a good time to foreworn you. I'm a fangirl. And a bad one at that, my most recent obsession is Legolas of course.
Who thought I this would happen to me really. I would call myself a mary-sue, but I doubt it. I'm far from perfect. But this story is very mary-sue. So yes, mary-sue. Yay for me. Who cares really? As long as it's a good read. As long as it touches the soul on some level, then I'm happy. Even if it makes you laugh in my face then so be it.
"Miss Watson!" Mrs. Frany said bang a book on my desk, snapping me out of deep thought.
"Yes, Mrs. Frany?" I asked with a sarcastic smile on my face.
"Who won the war of 1812?" What a stupid question to ask. That question doesn't even have anything to do with what were studying. But I knew the answer just the same.
"America." I smiled "The War of 1812 was in many ways the strangest war in United States history. It could well be named the War of Faulty Communication. Two days before war was declared, the British government stated that it would repeal the laws that were the chief reason for fighting. If there had been telegraphic communication with Europe, the war might well have been avoided. Speedy communication would also have prevented the greatest battle of the war, which was fought at New Orleans 15 days after a treaty of peace had been signed." I stunned her with my knowledge, I told her things that she probable didn't even know. Well that was the last straw for her I guess, because I got sent to detention… yet again.
"New record." Mr. Applegate said as I took a see near the back. "20 minutes into the day and already you're here"
"Well what can I say?" I asked, not at all ashamed. Mr. Applegate was probably my favorite teacher, considering I never got a letter sent home telling my mother I got sent to detention. It was sort of our untold agreement. Plus if they sent a notice home every time I was in detention they would run out of envelops. And he knew that a lot of the other teachers despise me.
"What did you do to piss her off this time?" He asked. I looked around the room and noticed that no one was around yet, expect for me of course.
"Well you know, told her all about the war of 1812." Mr. Applegate laughed and sighed.
"Terrance, really. You have to learn to keep the tongue under control. So, why aren't you wearing your normal sailor… fugi today?"
"Fuki, it's fuki." I corrected him. "Mr. Jordan ordered me not too."
"You know why?" Mr. Applegate asked.
"No idea, but I have a feeling you're gunna tell me."
"Don't you want to know?"
"Not really, no."
Mr. Applegate smiled again and stood from his desk. He sat on the desktop next to me. "Because, we want you to fit in."
"Why fit in when you can be different?" I asked curiously awaiting his reply.
"Why be different when you can fit in?" He answered
I stared at him. "How can you answer a question with another question?"
"You just did the same."
I nodded my head, "With good reason, I'm different and I make it my business to be."
"Terrance, maybe your too different. I mean the only friends you have are teachers."
"Point being? Kids today are to immature."
"Terrance, really, you're a kid too."
"Yes, but I'm not immature." I fought back with a quick-witted response that now looking back on it made me seem like a bitch. Mr. Applegate had enough of me it appeared and returned to his seat. I'm banged on head down on the desk and sighed loudly. "Sorr,." I muttered, choking on my own stubborn pride.
"It's alright," Mr. Applegate said, not looking up from his papers. The bell rang and I gathered my things and left. I walked slowly up the stares and looked out the window as I passed it. The fog had settled somewhat and I could see in the sky a dark, hazy gray. Clouds no less. Thunderhead clouds.
"Terrance!" I heard a voice from behind; I knew that voice, the voice of Tami, The person I had the worst troubles with. I decided to turn around to hear the mindless babble she had to say today.
"Yes?"
"I got detention for the next week because of you!" Tami spat out.
"Really?" I asked back. "Well, congrads. Hope you have a lovely time with Applegate." I continued walking, already hearing enough.
"You just wait! One of these days your gunna get it! And I'll wipe that smile off you face!" I didn't even realize I was smiling until she pointed it out. I always have a smile on my face though. Not one of those happy jolly smiles more of a I know something you don't know smirks.
"I look forward to it," was I all I said back before disappearing around a corner and into one of my classes. I sat down at my desk and prepared to be bored by math.
I pulled out my notebook and turned to the doodle was working on earlier. I listened to the endless drowning of Mr. Frank about math; I never could pay attention in that class even if I wanted to. It was so boring it drove me insane. I sat up as I saw Mr. Jordan walk in. I pretended like I was listening but my eyes kept turning back to my drawing. I wasn't sure what I was drawing yet. Some girl in the arms of some guy, very romantic looking, I groaned loudly and ripped the paper out of the notebook and crumbled it. That idea of romance was very grotesque to me.
"Miss Watson" second time today I've been called that.
"Yes, Mr. Frank" I asked angry at his annoyance.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, sir"
"Then you must remember to keep your mouth shut and pay attention."
"Yes, sir," Mr. Jordan walked over to my desk and picked up the paper. He opened it and looked at the drawing then set it back on my desk. He walked back to the door and left the room. I felt eyes burning into my back so I turned to see Tami shooting me nasty looks. I grinned back and raised my hand.
"Yes Miss Watson." Third time today I've been called that.
"May I please use the restroom?" I asked nicely as I could.
"Be back in time to get the homework." I stood and walked out the door. When I reached the bathroom I stared at myself in the mirror.
I looked paler then normal. I splashed water on face, freezing cold; I jumped back and banged my fist on the sink. I was being more violent with anger then I normally was. I was afraid if Tami kept her promise she would end up in the hospital and I would be kicked out of this school for good. I shut my eyes tightly and breathed in again.
I walked back to class just in time to get my homework. The bell rang and I walked off to gym before I got any encounters with annoying people.
Gym went by ok I guess. I kicked a soccer ball at some guy who's IQ is probably 30 points lower then mine. You know what's great about my life? I'm smart enough to know people will always hurt me but stupid enough to not do anything about it.
I was on my way to lunch after 4th period, Japanese class, when some called me.
"Hey, Terrance." Holy shit some guy was talking to me and not wanting to cut my throat over something I said to their girl friend. I turned to see Edward.
"Hello, Ed." Edward was an okay guy I guess. A little out there, and probably the only guy I would ever even think about liking. Even though he already had a girlfriend, Tami no less. But I already knew that Edward would end it soon. "What's up?"
"Nothing much, just thought I'd say hi before Tami shows up."
"When are you going to end it with that bitch?"
"Soon." Edward walked off and I went to my locker to drop off my books. I reached the quad and got something to eat. Whew half way through they day. Only two more classes left. Thank god.
A/N: Whew long!! Hopefully dear Legolas will come in like, the next chapter, sorry if I bored you all.
A/N: Ok this is your normal Mary-sue Legolas gets sent to normal earth, But maybe you'll like the char. Terrance. She's pretty wicked cool. Just read it. Please! R&R tell me what you think. If you don't like it that's fine too just give it a chance.
