Getting up again - Chapter 2
Morning dawned a bit too early for a few people's liking. Ice quietly slipped out of bed, making sure not to wake Lena on the bottom bunk. She tiptoed out of the room and quietly shut the door behind her.
Ice knew her mother would be awake, even at six thirty in the morning. She played with the hem of her navy blue tank top and hitched up her frosty blue pants before she knocked on her mother's bedroom door. A muffled 'come in' was heard and Ice entered the room.
They looked at each other for a second before Ice's mother, who's name was really Kema, or Kea for short, stood up and embraced her daughter. Ice's eyes welled up in tears as she hugged her mother back. "It's ok, hunny. We'll do fine..." whispered her mother reassuringly.
-------------------------
Lena woke up and blinked her eyes sleepily. She quietly got out of bed and stretched before looking over at the top bunk and finding it empty. After a moments thought she knew where her roommate and best friend had gone.
She made her way to the kitchen and made herself some toast, smothering it under a tone of raspberry jam.
Taking a bite out of it she sighed happily. She loved raspberries.
Ice and Kea came into the kitchen a few minutes later and made themselves something for breakfast. Lena's mother and little brother entered soon after.
The girls changed quickly and with a good bye to both mothers, left to drop Dustin off at his school then to head for Bakuten High.
They took turns giving Dustin piggyback rides and left him smiling at the front door of his school.
As they walked to Bakuten High, Ica said, "I hope that blue head doesn't do anything mean to Dustin again."
Lena nodded vigorously. "Yeah, and if he does..."
"...we'll owe him more then what he knows." stated Ice with a grim face.
Lena nodded again. They reached the school fifteen minutes before first bell. The same people were lounging around the school yard, chatting with friends, or in Tyson's case, beyblading anyone he can.
Ice rolled her eyes and Lena chuckled, "I know what you're thinking. You served him yesterday, give the poor kid a break."
Ice smiled, "Don't worry."
Lena laughed again and shook her head. She knew her friend was thinking of going over there and slapping some sense into the poor boy.
They decided it would be best if they went and explored the school so they wouldn't get lost like the day before.
First bell rang as they climbed up the steps and students came rushing into the school, nearly trampling the poor duo. When the clouds of dust finally settled, Lena and Ice were sitting on the floor staring at each other. "I think...was that a pack of elephants or students?" questioned Ice.
"I'm not sure..." Lena trailed off before bursting out laughing.
A blonde boy walked over to where they were laughing on the floor and waved, "Hey. I'm Max Tate. I'm suppose to help show you girls around today."
They gave the blonde boy a once over and shrugged. "Alright then, Max Tate. I'm Ice, or Lexy."
"Lena." waved the platinum blonde.
"Cool. What's your first classes?"
"I have...History." stated Ice with a grimace.
"Science for me." replied Lena.
"Well, I have Science right now. I can show you where it is.." stated Max to Lena. "History is.."
Max was cut off by a lavender haired boy tapping his shoulder. "I'll show the pretty lady where History is, since I have that class next too." he smirked.
"Alright..." replied Max in a not too thrilled voice. "Girls, this is Bryan. Bryan, this is Lena and Ice."
Bryan nodded to the two girls then turned to Ice. "Well, shall we go to History?"
Ice raised an eyebrow questioningly before saying, "..alright. Lead the way."
She glanced back at Lena before following the lavender haired boy.
Lena turned to Max and said, "So, who teaches Science?"
Max started to walk and motioned for Lena to follow. "The Science teacher is called Mr. Tanemoshi. Oh, and a warning, don't sit in the front row. He spits a lot when he talks."
"Thanks." grinned Lena. "I'll remember that."
Max nodded and led the way into the classroom, where a few students turned to watch as Lena took a seat in the back row beside the blonde boy.
Class started not long after and Lena understood what Max had meant when he said the teacher spit a lot when he spoke. The poor kids in the first row were grimacing as the teacher started a long lecture about photosynthesis.
-------------------------
Ice was using all of her self control not to punch Bryan in the face. She was fed up with him making snide comment whenever the teacher started talking about certain things. For example, when the teacher welcomed her to the class, Bryan, who was sitting in back of her, leaned forward and whispered, "History is great, especially when you have some with someone special."
Now, he just wouldn't shut up and she was ready to throw him out the window, but luckily for him, and the window, the bell rang. Ice scooped up her books and left the classroom before Bryan had even touched his binder.
Bryan rapidly picked up his binder and ran after Ice. "Hey, wait up!" he called to Ice's retreating back.
Ice ignored him thinking, 'If I can't see him, he can't see me. Or was it if I ignored him he'd leave me alone...'
Ice sighed inwardly as Bryan fell into pace beside her. "Don't runaway from me." he stated in a sugary voice. "Besides, I was asked to help Max show you ladies around."
'Great. Just what I need. Someone who seems desperate showing me and Lena around. I should warn her...' thought Ice to herself as She found her locker. Bryan leaned on the neighbouring locker, watching Ice all the while. She slammed her locker shut and glared at him, "Can I help you?"
"Yes, you can." he said in a slick voice.
Thankfully, at that moment, Lena and Max showed up. Ice could of kissed them both but showed none of that on her face. "Hey, Lena. You have Gym next right?" asked Ice.
"Yup. Max does too." nodded Lena.
"Good, so do I. Let's go." stated Ice.
They left at a quick pace and at Max giving them questioning looks but led them away from Bryan none the less.
Bryan jogged and fell into pace beside them as they encountered the one, and only, Tyson.
"Hey! You're that girl from yesterday!" stated Tyson who pointed an accusing finger at Ice.
"Wow!" said Lena in a shocked voice. "It remembers you, Ice."
"Of course I remember her...HEY! I'm not an IT!" cried Tyson.
"Who are you talking about, Lena? I here a very weird noise going something like blah, blah, blah, but other then that nothing." Ice playfully said.
"You're right!" agreed Lena. "I thought for a second someone might be talking to us! Come on, let's go before whatever it is decides to become contagious."
Ice nodded vigorously and walked away, holding back giggles. Tyson stood dumbfounded with his mouth wide open as Bryan laughed. "They've got fire alright!" he pointed out with a chuckle.
Max gave a sympathetic pat on the back to Tyson before running off after the girls, who were now laughing on the other side of the corner.
"That was kinda mean..." Max trailed off.
"Well, it's not my fault he's so...so..." Ice tried to find the right word.
"...loud?" finished Lena.
Ice agreed with a few nods. "Yup. Loud. That's about it."
"Well, he does have a bit of an ego, but he's a really nice person once you get to know him." replied Max knowledgeably.
Ice and Lena both raised an eyebrow. "What?" asked Max. "He is! I'm serious!"
"Right..." they echoed.
Max sighed. "Oh, as for Bryan being a tour guide and stuff, watch out for him."
"I know." stated Ice knowledgeably. "He must be..the player around here."
"One of them." replied Max.
Lena looked over at Ice and grinned. "I have a feeling you had fun in first period."
"Oh, yeah. I was about to say sorry to the window when the bell rang." Ice nodded vigorously.
"Huh?" asked a confused Max.
Lena rolled her eyes and gave Max a look that said he should know what that meant. "It means he was annoying her so much she was about to throw him out the window."
"She...would actually of thrown him out the window, would you, Ice?" he asked incredulously.
Ice gave a look of pure innocence. "What? Me? Throw him out the window? The thought never crossed my mind."
"But..she just...and you just...oh nevermind. You two confuse me." sighed Max who held his head.
Ice and Lena grinned at each. "Come on. We'll be late for gym. Uh, where's the gym anyway?" asked Lena as a sweatdrop appeared on her forehead.
Max chuckled and told them to follow him.
