THE NEW GIRL
CHAPTER 02
- - - - - - - - - - -
... Ugh! I'm such a
clutz, I looked up to say sorry and see a guy with dark blue hair and fierce
red eyes.. .oops. . .
"Excuse me." The guy I bumped into said, no expression
in his voice.
I'm serious he was heaps monotone and aloof. Hehehe aloof sounds funny eh?
I stared at the human wall I so clumsily bumped into. He had two tone blue hair and crimson eyes. He seemed like a little rebel his shirt untucked and his tie nearly falling off.
That's what I love about being a girl we don't have to tuck in our shirts.
I stared right back at him feeling my brown hair slip out of its band falling onto my shoulders. Dammit, stupid band.
I guess I'm blessed with naturally straight chocolate brown hair, but then its kind of boring if you ask me so I have a side swept fringe that covers one of my eyes. I like to look mysterious . . ha ha just kidding. I'm not that shallow.
Anyway I pushed my fringe and random pieces of hair out of my eyes and started apologizing to this guy.
"Sorry! Are you okay?"
He didn't reply, instead he started walking away.
(Pause)
Umm okay then.
So I gave up on apologizing and asked if he knew where A8 was. He kept on walking.
(Pause)
I had the shits major by then.
"Hey!" I yelled at him and rushed into the classroom after the human
wall. At the time in all my rage I
didn't realize that I would be going to run into another class.
Stupid.
"Kai Hiwatari I am sick of your feeble excuses for being tardy! Oh and you
must be the new girl!" The teacher exclaimed going from extremely angry to
happy.
-Weird teacher must be on happy pills! -
"What . . . ?" I
was a little confused, exactly how did this teacher know me? How could he see
me?
" Miss Alicia Kidner?" The teacher, Mr Hunter asked me his brows
furrowed.
Eep! He is half bald with thick black glasses and a wooden cane. I don't want to know what he uses that cane for.
"yes . . . ?" I reply caught in a bit of a daze.
WHATS GOING ON !?!
"You are the new girl I have been expecting, are you not?" he asked
me tapping his foot with his cane.
Creepy.
Think Allie think.
After a few seconds it dawned on me where I was. I stumbled back out of the
classroom door and looked up. There was a tiny silver plate at the top of the
door with A8 printed on it.
"So THIS is A8" I
mumbled to myself not realizing I had said it out loud.
A couple of sniggers greeted me as I entered the class for the second time. I
glared in the direction of them. It was the human wall and a friend.
"Miss Kidner, are you a bit lost?" The teacher asked again looking a
bit frustrated.
"Not anymore." I
shrugged, regaining my cool exterior; that comes and goes.
"Are you trying to get smart with me young lady???" the teacher
growled, tapping his cane on the ground.
Creepy.
"No."
"Take your seat Miss Kidner and try not to waste my time again." He
replied shaking his head in disbelief.
Rave called over to me and I sat next to her.
"I thought you said you'd be ok Allie?" Raven said ignoring the teachers ranting and raving on some English topic.
" uh . . . . well I thought I would be?" I replied a bit sheepishly.
Rave rolled her eyes "So did you get what you needed from the office?"
'No, they-"
"Aren't you going to
say thank you?" a voice asked from behind me. I turned. . It's the human wall; I read his name
off his book Kai Hiwatari.
"I'm sorry?" I replied curtly
He stretched out his hands shrugging "thanks for helping you to get to
class?" he smirked and the boy next to him sniggered. "Don't you
think so Tala?" he added.
THANK HIM!?!?
Ha! I don't think so . .
"Yeah for sure, didn't your mother ever teach you any manners?" Tala
smirked.
Now it's personal . . . bringing my mother into it . . grrr
"Yeah but then again, my mother also taught me not to talk to freaky
looking strangers!" I replied, using the first thing that came to my head.
I'm bad that way, my mouth can get me into trouble.
"You seem happy enough to talk to me in the hall" Kai replied
"Kai Hiwatari get back to your work, you'll have plenty of time to
converse after class." Mr Hunter interrupted, taking some time out of his
"precious" lecture.
I like this teacher.
"hm." Kai replied but did as he was told.
Ha ha ha sucker.
The classes before lunch
breezed by as I learned about everyone important, according to Rave.
She skipped through the cafeteria after we collected the stuff that was
supposed to be food.
I repeat supposed to be,
it looked like a green glob,
it was supposed to be fettuccine verdi.
Yeah right.
In-between all the din of people eating and talking I heard Rave was singing.
"food, food, glorious food, food, food, glorious food, food, food, glorious food," she murmured next to me in a sing song voice.
We made our way to two conjoined table where the most familiar faces sat, well for me anyway.
Raven is a funny one; she has pet names for EVERYONE, even Kai and Tala. Can
you believe it? She smiles and you have to smile with her!
"hey guys!" she yelled bouncing up and down. "We have a new friend! Come see! Come see!" and the introductions begin . . . .dun dun dun!
Well there I met Michael – a sports freak, Johnny – a witty guy with a serious temper, Lee - a thoughtful fellow, not that I know much about him, Mariam – another sweet girl and finally just around the little spot I sat was Enrique – a little player with messy blonde hair.
Tyson, Mariah, Ray, Kai and Tala were also there.
"So what's everyone doing this afternoon, I feel like the beach. " Rave said digging into the green glob she called lunch. I pushed mine away unable to trust it.
"I'm not doing much." Kai contemplated.
"I need to do some serious surfing" Johnny added brushing a hand through his fierce red hair.
Mariam cringed." I have a heap of phys Ed work to do, Leonard will have a fit if it's not done."
Raven turned to me as the others discussed the beach. "What about you Ally?"
"Yeah, I'm up for it." Sand surf sun . . . I can do that right? Yeah no problems
-_-U
"koolies! Beach this afternoon children!" Rave announced flamboyantly.
I need to find something to wear . . .
