Chapter 3
"Oh, no, English next lesson!" groaned Clover, leaning her head on her desk.
"It's not so bad," her red-haired friend, Sam, encouraged.
"For you, yeah."
"Come on Clover, there are good points!" said her other best friend, Alex.
"Like what?" Clover demanded.
"Does Clive Richardson fit into the category?"
"Clive Richardson? That Clive Richardson? As in, the school's newest hottie, Clive Richardson?" asked Clover, lifting her head. "In my English class?"
"Yeah, I overheard him discussing his time table with Andrew Roberts," said Alex, standing up and putting her bag on her shoulder. Sam followed suit. "Let's go, Clover!" she said.
"Alright! What are we waiting for?" asked Clover, swinging her bag onto her shoulder and charging out of the classroom. Alex and Sam exchanged exasperated glances before following suit a little more sedately.
"Hey, Clover, where did you get that top – a junk yard?" Mandy's scornful voice greeted Clover as she walked into the class.
"Get a life, Mandy!" said Alex, defending her friend.
"I already have one – unlike you!" Mandy shot back.
"Isn't that the one you've been practicing that one in front of the mirror every time you go to the bathroom?" asked Sam, steering her fuming friends to their desks.
Mandy pursed her lips in anger, but was unable to find a scathing reply. She turned away and sat next to her cronies on the other side of the class.
"Mandy – 0, Sam – 1!" said Alex, laughing.
"Ugh, that girl gets on my nerves!" said Clover. "At least she wont get in the way of me and Clive..." she sighed dreamily. She got up and turned to her friends. "Watch and learn!" She sashayed to the corner of the class where Clive was standing. "Hey! You're new, aren't you?" she said to him. "If you need anything, just ask!"
"Uh, thanks." Clive shifted his weight onto his other foot and stuck out his hand awkwardly. "I'm Clive!"
"I'm Clover," said Clover, taking his hand.
"Are you, ah, doing anything tomorrow?"
"No, why?"
"I was thinking you could maybe, erm, show me around town..."
"Sure! I should've thought of that! See you then." Clover walked away from him and approached Mandy's desk. "Game, set and match," she whispered, before stalking triumphantly over to her friends. Mandy glared at her retreating back, but before she could say or do anything, the teacher walked in. "Morning class!" Mandy bit her lip irritably and took out her English book. "Grrrr..."
––00o00––
"I wonder if Mrs. Clorit knows she's such a bore, and became a teacher because she has a grudge against teenagers," Clover complained, sliding her book into her locker.
"She's not so bad – you just never pay attention!" said Sam, slamming her locker's door shut.
"How can I pay attention if I'm half asleep?" asked Clover, also closing her locker. Sam threw her hands up in the direction of the ceiling in a gesture of hopelessness. "I give up!"
"Well Clover, at least you've got tomorrow with Clive to look forward to!" Alex reminded her.
"Oh, yeah!" Clover began to look excited. "But what am I going to wear?"
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a multi-coloured circle appeared in the middle of the hall way. The students had frozen in terror, not knowing what was happening. Alex, Clover and Sam were as confused as everyone else. Suddenly, there was a rush of wind, so ferocious that all but those who had a firm grip on their locker doors were blown away. Clover screamed to her friends over the gale, "What's happening?" Sam shrugged her shoulders, shifting her grip on her locker door handle. "Don't know! Are you okay?" Alex screamed back.
"Yeah!" Clover bellowed, as the wind got stronger. Then, as suddenly as the gale had started, it stopped. "What on earth – " began Clover, when the shining circle expanded slightly and dumped four people on the floor. Mandy, who had also stopped herself from being blown away, stifled a scream. The people stood up, revealing the fact that they were all male, and were all wearing strange armor.
"Where are we?" asked one, who was wearing a helmet shaped like a dragon's head.
"Dunno Shiryu, but I doubt it's good," said another, holding a shield with a pattern of chains on it. The chains appeared to be shifting slightly, as though agitated.
"Like, I totally agree, dude!" agreed another of the guys, this one with a headdress with a swan on the front.
"Oh my..." Alex trailed off, staring at them.
"Yeah..." agreed Clover quietly.
"Wow!" breathed Mandy.
"Um, like, where are we?" the one with the swan-headdress asked Clover hesitantly.
"What? Oh right, you're here. Um, Beverly Hills High." Clover stuttered, knowing how foolish she sounded. She tried to take control. "Um, in Beverly Hills, in, er, America." She groaned inwardly, she knew she should've listened in geography class!
"Where?" asked Shiryu, confused.
"I think it's gonna be one of those days..." murmured Alex.
"So," said Mandy, going into vulture-mode. "You're not from here..." She fluttered her eyelashes. "Is there anything at all I can do?"
"Uh, Mandy, that's a really good question," giggled Alex.
"I think I've gone mad," groaned the one with the shield.
"Mmm..." mumbled one, still lying on the floor.
"Seiya, are you okay?" asked the one with the shield.
"Hmm? Hey Shun, what happened?" Seiya asked.
"Hel-lo!" Mandy waved her hand in front of Shiru's face. "I asked you a question!"
"Wha – Oh, sorry." Shiryu faced her. "Can we talk later, er..."
"Mandy!" interjected Mandy.
"Moron, more like!" grumbled Clover. Mandy scowled at her. Sam stepped forward.
"Are you okay?" she asked Seiya concernedly.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Who're you?"
"I'm Sam. Wow, that's a pretty big cut," Sam said, lightly feeling around the offending area. Suddenly, she was aware of everyone looking at her. "Um, I'll go get the first aid kit!" she said and jogged away before anyone could see her blush.
"Erm, so, ah, how did you get here?" asked Clover.
"We – " began Seiya, but Shiryu stopped him.
"We don't know whose side these people are on, so just play it safe, ok?" he whispered, crouching down next to Seiya.
"So," Alex started awkwardly. "You didn't answer the question."
"Um," stalled Shiryu, standing and looking at his companions.
And then, Sam arrived. "Here," she said, kneeling by Seiya once again. "I'll bandage it up for you." As she reached for the first aid kit, the one with the chains stopped her. "I'll do it."
"I'm a qualified first-aider! Don't you trust me?" Sam looked angrily at him.
"Come on!" said Mandy with a false laugh, trying to get the attention on herself once again. "Let's go to the sick bay."
"Good idea," said Shiryu, helping Seiya to his feet. Mandy beamed, and shot a triumphant look at Clover.
"Hey! I'm not done!" cried Sam, but her cries fell on deaf ears. Shiryu motioned to the one with the chains. "Shun, help me." Shun rushed to take his place at Seiya's other side.
"Don't worry buddy, we'll get you fixed up," he said encouragingly. Seiya smiled.
"Let's go, I'll show you where it is," said Alex. Mandy's smile evaporated, and she glared at Alex. They all trooped after her down the now-empty hallways.
Once they were in the sick bay, Shiryu reluctantly let Sam bandage the wound on Seiya's head.
"You know, she was so, like, totally right!" commented the one in the swan headdress. "That looks bad, man!"
"Hey swan-boy, do us all a favour, and shut up!" said Clover, her patience with the whole affair waning.
"The name," he said testily. "Is Hyoga."
"Whatever."
"Could you two shut up?" asked Seiya testily. "I have a headache!"
"Not surprising..." Sam murmured, fastening the bandage on his head.
"Thanks! Now, let's find out where we are." Seiya got up off his chair.
"I told you already! Beverly Hills High!" Clover said.
"Shut up, blondie!" snapped Hyoga, still upset at the swan-boy comment.
"That's a great idea!" said Mandy, smirking at Clover. Clover glared at her.
"Let's go already!" Seiya said impatiently.
"I'll – " started Mandy, latching herself to Hyoga's arm, when the drain of the basin in the room swelled and sucked them all in!
