Hero II
(Chapter 6: A New Day)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, and anything don't I own! ;)
My mother wanted to drive me to school, because it was my very first day. Although I really wanted to walk there by myself, I also wanted to see my mom happy so I complied. I felt nervous, though I showed no trace of it to my mom for fear of a "mother-daughter bonding moment" at that time, because I wanted to prepare myself for what lay ahead.
The school building itself was immense, and reminded me of nothing less than a beautiful, white palace. And the surroundings that were around the school, the beautiful flowers, trees, and the fountain flattered the school all the more. My mother turned to me as the car came to a halt, and I saw her eyes well up with tears.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked, even though I knew.
"I'm just sad that you're growing up; and for the first time, I feel like I'm losing my little girl…" Mom cried as she spoke.
Mom pulled me close, gently hugging me. It was in that instant, that I started to cry as well because in some way I felt as if I knew what she was feeling. I pulled away, wiped my eyes, and told her good-bye. I opened the car door, shut it behind me, and gave my mom one last look before turning to go to the school.
I walked into the front office and received my schedule. The assigned me a guide to show me around so I wouldn't get lost. He was tall with brown hair and green eyes. He seemed quiet. His name was Trowa Barton.
"And this is the commons or as you may call it, the cafeteria. Over there is our school store where you can buy cookies, candy, and such." Trowa noted.
"How do I know when I eat lunch?" I wondered, still in a 'new-girl' daze.
"Lunch is separated into four lunch periods. Since there are four classes a day, lunch is in your third period. If you have first lunch, you will go to lunch right after you are dismissed from second period, and then second will go after that, then third, then fourth. If you are in fourth lunch though, listen for the bell to dismiss you from lunch, because as soon as that bell rings, lunch is over, and you need to head to your fourth class. Which lunch you are in is located on the top right-hand corner of your schedule." Trowa explained eloquently.
I looked at my schedule, and it didn't seem so terrible:
Driver's Education S1 Hill, John R 312
U.S. History S1 McClancy, Cynthia R 209
Algebra 1 S1 Vest, Teresa R 213
Earth Science S1 Brimer, John R 112
"How do I find my classes?" I asked, still confused.
"Well, the school is divided into five different hallways basically. On the first hallway, you have all the classes in the 100s, and they will go no higher than 115. On the second hallway you have the 200s classes, and same with the third and fourth. On the fifth, is where the administrative and guidance offices are."
Trowa showed me to my first class, which was very informative. I learned many skills in which I would need to drive a vehicle safely. The first period was over in the blink of an eye, and break soon began. I didn't know anyone, so I just sat in the classroom until break was over and talked to the teacher.
"So Callisto," the teacher began, "where did you come from?"
"I was born in a small village on Namek. We moved here (my mom says) to help me learn about my mother's history and where she came from." I explained.
"Well, I hope that you like our planet so far, I'm sure that the students will love you!" My teacher's cheeriness made me feel better.
Break was soon over (20 min.) and the students came rushing into the classroom and quickly sat down. My stomach started to hurt due to my tremendous nervousness, and so I slumped down into my seat and got out my class materials.
"Class, today we have a new student," the teacher motioned to me, "and her name is Callisto. I want you all to give her a warm welcome."
If there was ever a time when I thought I had never been more embarrassed, then that time was now. I could feel everyone's eyes on me, and I dared not look at anyone directly.
Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey Callisto! I'm Rini!"
I smiled. Rini was the "picture person" for beautiful. She had alabaster skin that was set off by her luxurious pink hair that was neatly tied up on both sides. Her flaming red eyes gave the impression that she either was a very passionate person, or had a very bad temper, and cute little freckles under her eyes. After she had introduced herself, the other students quickly did the same. I then felt more relaxed, and more at ease with myself.
"Alright. Class, your next assignment for this class will be a project about Pearl Harbor. I want you to partner up and work on a creative theme. I will give you the rest of this period to work on your plans." The teacher informed us.
"Callisto, want to be my partner?" Rini asked, full of sincerity.
"Yes, I would love to." I replied, really thankful that she had asked.
"Good! I'll give you my phone number. Call me and we will work out the plans!" Rini remarked as she wrote her number on my hand.
Class soon ended, and we were off as soon as the bell rang like raging bulls. The first half of the day hadn't been what I expected, and I was happy with the way it turned out. Although, I still couldn't wait to go back to the woods!
Hey! I hoped that you liked this chapter! The next thing I am working on the second chapter of Deadly Whispers. R&R even if you hate it! See you soon!
