Hige sat down on the steps of the school eating his favorite muffins from the bakery a block away from school. He watched as the students came pouring from the parking lot into the school. Today is the start of his last and final year of high school. Hige has never cared for school but he still gets the grades for a fairly good college. So in Hige's point of view all he has to do is get through his senior year. He quickly popped the last bite of his muffin in his mouth as the bell rang. Hige walked down the main hall while pulling his schedule out of his pants pocket. He looked at his first period to see it was History. His most hated class. Even though he gets B's in it, he has never enjoyed it, but what is there to enjoy about school? Well, except for lunch that is.
He took a seat at the back of the second row not wanting to be noticed if he fell asleep during class. A girl with raven black hair and the most beautiful and rare blue eyes sat down in front of Hige. She dressed in a shirt with a leather jacket over it, a skirt that goes to inches above her knees, and boots that almost reach the skirt. It was all black except for the pink scarf she wore around her neck.
"Hi my name's Hige." Hige said to her as she finished getting her notebook out of her backpack.
"I'm Blue" she said turning around so her blue eyes met his brown ones.
"Blue. That's an unusual name, but it seems to fit you." Hige said using his charms on her.
"Thanks, Pops named me because of my blue eyes." she told Hige as if she was getting tired of explaining that to people.
"If everyone is done chatting I'd like to get today's lesson started." said the history teacher. Of course Hige didn't notice the teacher ever entering the room. The teacher looked about 30 he has long navy blue hair and is dressed in a dark blue shirt and pants."For all of you who don't know me my name is Darcia and this year I will be teaching you History. Though must of you know that, I just said it for the slower students. Anyway, why don't I get to the classroom rules? First of all there will be no talking during lessons and I expect that you'll get every bit of your homework completed. If you don't, then you will do what you didn't complete and them some after school with me. Second, no tardiness, or you will be sent straight to the office. And last, no gum or candy of any sort. That's all for today. You may talk quietly but don't get to loud." He sat down at his desk and pick up some kind of book.
"So did you just move here? 'Cause I've never seen you around here before." Hige asked the girl in front of him.
"Yes, me and Pops moved here after our house burned down in June." Blue said, not wanting to talk about it. Hige noticed and changed the subject.
"So what's your second period?" Hige asked. Blue pulled out a sheet of paper from her backpack.
"Looks like I have Study Hall next. You?" Hige looked at his own schedule.
"I got English next. Too bad, I was hoping that we'd have the same class." Hige said sounding disappointed. Blue smiled at him with her blue eyes glowing.
"Let me see your schedule." Hige handed her his schedule. She looked from her sheet to his."Looks like we have third period science, our lunch is together, and we have six period math."
"Really? That's great!" Hige said. Blue handed him his paper back but before he could say anything else The bell rang. He got up and walked out of the room with Blue beside him. He told her good bye and walked the away from her to his second period English class.
"Hey Hige!" yelled Hige's cousin Toboe.
Toboe lives with Hige because his mother died in a car accident and his father is in rehab. None of this seems to affect Toboe in any way, but that's the kind of person he is. The kind that never shows or tells their home life to anyone.
Hige sat beside his cousin.
"Hey Toboe. How ya doin?" Hige asked the brown-haired fifteen year old.
"I'm fine, Hige. Though I'm having a little trouble finding all my classes."
"Aww no sweat. Tomorrow you'll know this school upside down."Hige said reassuringly.
"Hey Hige. It's been a while."
Hige looked to where the voice came from.
"Hey Kiba, how's Cheza?" Hige asked his best friend Kiba. Kiba has almost shoulder length black hair. Hige and Kiba have been best friends since the beginning of 6th grade. Kiba has always been very serious about school, unlike Hige.
"She doing great. Though she's out today with a cold."Kiba said. He and Cheza had been going out for almost a year now. Kiba seems to stick to one girl while Hige changes the girl he likes weekly.
The teacher Ms. Jagura came in and talked about the rules and what they'll be doing the first few weeks of school until the bell rang for third period. Hige left Kiba and Tobue went to third period science class.
As he walked into the classroom, he spotted Blue sitting in the back right corner of the room. He took the desk beside her. She looked over to him and smiled. He smiled back at her and then the teacher came in. The teacher had her blonde hair pulled back with some hanging loose. She looked about 27 to 28. The class didn't seem to last as long as the previous period did. The bell rang. Hige got out of his seat, grabbed his backpack, and waited for Blue outside the classroom.
"Hey Blue. Wanna sit with me at lunch today?" Hige asked Blue when she got out of the room.
"Yeah, sure. That sounds great." Blue said and said goodbye. Hige walked off to his fourth period Study Hall.
"Hey ,Tsume. Long time no see." Hige said to his other friend Tsume.
"Hey Hige. Seems like you're the same as ever." said Tsume dully.
"What do you mean by that?" Hige asked sitting down next to Tsume.
"Nothing" Tsume said as the teacher silenced them. The class went long, but the bell finally rang.
"Mmm...lunch time and good thing cause I could smell it in second period." Hige said rubbing his stomach.
"Is food and girls the only thing you think about?"
But, before Hige could answer Tsume was out the door. Hige ignored him and walked down the main hall to go to the lunchroom. When he reached the lunchroom he saw that Blue was already in the lunch line talking to a girl with brown hair, who Hige dated sometime last year.
'This could be trouble" Hige thought to himself as he walked up to where Blue was standing in line. Hige's ex-girlfriend walked away as Hige came closer to Blue. 'Thank God" Hige thought.
"Hey Blue!" Blue turned around to face Hige.
"Oh. Hey Hige!" Blue said and smiled sweetly at him.
"So.. Uh...What are we having for lunch?" Hige asked Blue as he tried to look ahead in line, but failed to do so.
"I think were having chicken nuggets and ham sandwiches." Blue told him.
"Great! I love anything chicken." Hige said his mouth starting to water.
"You know that stuff is fake right?" Blue said moving a step forward with the line.
"Yeah. Too bad." Hige said while grabbing a milk carton and a napkin.
Blue did the same. She then got herself a plate of chicken nuggets. Hige chose to get five chicken nuggets and a ham sandwich. He paid for his lunch and motioned for Blue to follow him to his table. Toboe and Kiba were sitting at the table talking about their day so far. Tsume used to sit with Hige, Toboe, and Kiba but he started to skip the lunch period and went to a fast food place instead of eating the school's crappy food which no one blames him for doing. Hige and Blue made it to the table.
"Everyone, this is Blue. Blue, this is Kiba and Toboe."
Kiba nodded and Toboe half-way waved at her. They sat down across from Kiba and Toboe. Hige ate his lunch while talking to his friends.
"How can you eat that stuff, Hige?" Tobue asked his meat loving cousin.
Hige only shrugged and kept on shoving the food down his throat . Toboe loves all living things, so he became a vegetarian. The summer before last, Toboe found a lost white cat that looked to be only four weeks old and brought him home. He named the cat Whitey.
The lunch bell rang. Hige and the others stood up and put their trays up. Hige and Kiba headed to P.E. after saying goodbye to Blue and Toboe. Hige doesn't really like P.E. That's why he put it off until his senior year. He and Kiba got to locker room, put their backpacks in their lockers, and changed into their gym clothes.
In P.E., the teacher didn't show up so the class sat and talked until the bell rang. Hige and Kiba changed back into their regular clothes and left for their sixth period class. Kiba had science and Hige had math class with Blue.
"Hige! Over here." Hige looked up to see Toboe and Blue sitting in the right row with a set saved for Hige beside Blue. Hige sat down next to Blue, but before he could say anything to her the teacher walked in and started talking about the classroom rules.
"Too bad sixth period is always the shortest class of the school day." Hige thought as he took a small glance at Blue. Once the teacher finally got done talking, the bell rang. Hige, Toboe, and Blue got up and walked to their lockers. Kiba joined them as they walked out the double doors to the school.
"I gonna go check up on Chesa." Kiba said and ran off to Chesa's house.
"So Blue you gonna walk us?" Toboe asked Blue.
"Yeah, or at least until we get to my road." They walked for about a block then Blue said goodbye and walked down a small road that only has about five or six houses on it. Hige and Toboe still have about two blocks to go until they get to their house.
"Hige, do you like Blue?" Toboe asked Hige.
"I don't know, I've only just met her." Hige told his younger cousin.
They walked the rest of the way in silence. They walked into their not to flashy white, one-story house. Hige threw his backpack in a living room chair and ran to his room.
"Maybe this year won't be as bad as I thought it would be' Hige thought to himself.
