1Chapter 5 of Monkey Tails!
Ok! I have gotten through the 4 chapters so far, and all of them sucked. Hard. Don't be afriad to tell me so. I think I did a much better job on this chapter , though. Im getting back into the flow!
Dear Dairy!
Tomorrow I have to start school. I wonder what it's like? Will it be much different from when I was in 1st grade? I hope not. It was really easy than. Ryou says I have to work really hard. He also says, if anyone asks, I'm his daughter. Ichigo also said the same thing. They don't want anyone to know my mum is dead and I'm living alone, with out my dad. I hope Tar-tar isn't to angry at me...
Xoxo.
PURIN!
"Bye bye Purin!" yelled her siblings in unison, as they ran for there classrooms. Purin's grade was older, so they could wait out side until the bell rang. Retasu told here that when the bell rings, you should go to your class room. 'My teacher has a funny name. Ms. Burkly. Sounds like a tree.' Purin giggled a little as she made her way outside to the playground.
A ripple of breeze filled the air.
Purin sighed. She already was regretting her chose. She impatiently pulled at her blue & white mini skirt school uniform. Her shirt was no better. It was a white button up blouse with a blue sweater pulled on, on top of it. The sweater had a big V-neck, and in the conor, a little bee was sewn on. The bee was the school symbol.
Another sigh. She wished the others were here. Minto went to a prep school, so she was miles away. Zakouro was in high school, next door to her middle school. Unlike most middle schools, hers went up to grade 7 instead of 8. Retasu went to this school but she was doing an extra credit read-a-loud thing at the kindergarden classes. Ichigo was sick today with a fever.
Everyone seemed to have there little groups. No one seemed to want to let her in to them. Suddenly, Purin felt very alone. Then, she caught a glimpse of some one out of the corner of her eye.
"HIYA CINDY!" yelled Purin from across the playground. Cindy didn't turn around. 'Maybe she didn't hear me...'
"I SAID, HIYA CINDY!"
Still. No affect.
Purin was getting confused 'how could she not have heard me? she must be talking to loudly with her friends!' and with that thought still in her mind, she march up, right behind were Cindy was standing, chatting with some 'croneys'.
"HI CINDY!" Purin yelled as loudly as she could in Cindy's ear. Cindy jumped about an inch off the ground. She wiped around.
"What are you doing here?" A glare from you-no-who followed.
Purin, not picking up the evil eye, simply said...
"Going to school!"
"well, stay away from me!"
"But we are buds!"
"I don't even no you!"
A look of bewilderment glued it's self on Purin's face. "Yes you do!"
RING
bell
"see you later, loser. Not!" with that Cindy walked away, bumping into Purin's shoulder. Her 3 friends followed, mentally noting that they don't like this new girl.
Soon the playground was empty. With only Purin standing there, and the breeze swaying her braids back and forth.
in the classroom...
"Good morning class!"
"Good morning Ms. Burkly." replied the class.
"Today we have a new student with us. She has never been to a school like this before. According to her father, she has been home schooled. She moved here from China when she was in 1st grade she this will be her 1st year in a school in Japan So, she is a little behind on what we are learning. I hope we all will help her and make her feel at home! I think she is running a little late...well...until she arrives..."
As if on cue, Purin burst through the door, her backpack hanging off one shoulder. The whole class looked at her. The same thing went through there minds...
She is different.
"Sorry I'm late! I was having trouble finding the class room." replied Purin. She seemed to have no notice that every one was starring at her.
"That's ok. Now that you no were th class room is though, lets not be late! Please introduce your self. Also, tell us some thing about yourself!"
"Ok...my name is Purin... I have 5 siblings...and I work at Café Mew Mew."
A boy in the front row with red hair and glasses on (coke bottle) raised his hand.
"Yes Ben?" asked Ms. Burkly.
"Why did she come her late in the school year?"
"That's none of your business Ben. If you are so interested, than ask her at lunch. Please take your seat Purin." Ms. Burkly pointed to the 4 seat in the second row.
As Purin went, there was many whispers.
"She walks funny..."
"What is up with those braids?"
"5 brothers and sisters? Wow! I can barley handle 1!"
The teacher went in her desk and brought out 2 text books.
"Purin, here is your math and social studies text books. We are all out of the English and science ones, so look on for now." pausing to catch her breath, she turned to the class after hand the books to her. "Please, open your social studies books to page 456! We are reading an African folk tale."
'What writing is this in? I cant read it!' Purin started to panic. she peered over to a brown haired girls book. It had a picture of a black woman doing a dance. She quickly flipped through the book until she found that page.
"Cubai, please read the 1st paragraph please."
The same girl witht eh brown., straight hair stood up.
"One day, in a village..."
'It has the same looking lines, but it's all wrong! Do all people in this school read this way? Is there some code or something?'
"Purin, since you look so lost in your thoughts, why don't you read the next paragraph?"
'Am I aloud to say no? Didn't Ryou say not to do that? I guess I have to read...'
"Um... ok... well... um..." Purin looked hard on the words. "Ok so I think there was...no, that's not it...a boy?...no, a water fall...with magic rice in it...?"
Giggle
"And the boy...no man...went and stole the magic rice...and the fish were anger...no, sad...no angry...and ...there was a storm that rain books...wait, no that's not right..."
The whole class burst out laughing. Poor Purin was still trying to read the lines that filled her page.
"PURIN! How dare you try to not read! It's your first day and your already making jokes!"
Purin put her hands on her hips. "But I can't read this goobily-gook!"
"It's time for lunch and recess!" some one yelled! They all ran out of the classroom before the Teacher could stop them. Purin took the hint and disappeared with the crowd to avoid trouble. 'Why didn't she believe me?'
lunch room
"Purin!" Retasu came over to her confused friend. "We have the same lunch period. Do you want to sit together?"
Purin smiled. "Yups!"
The pair went to buy there ad-normally good school lunch then went to sit at an empty table.
"Retasu, how do you read school?"
"What do you mean Purin?"
"Well, I got called on to read out loud and I couldn't read the book!"
"You can't read Japanese?"
"What...? no, silly! I'm Chinese, remember?"
"Then how do you write orders at the café?"
"Zakouro can understand any thing! She is bilingual! No, the 8-lingual!"
Retasu giggled at her friends poor grammar. But this reading problem could be trouble...
"Purin, after recess, tell your teacher that you aren't good in reading in Japanese yet. At the café, I will teach you."
"THANK YOU RETASU-CHAN!"
The friends chatted some more as the eat up there lunchs. Another bell rung.
"Time for your recess Purin.
"Aren't you coming with me?"
"No, I already had mine before lunch."
"Oh...bye bye then!"
"See ya Purin!"
playground!
as Purin stepped out on the playground, everyone was already playing. After the reading thing in class, all Purin wanted was to play. Just when Purin was going to join the group of girls on the monkey bars, she heard her name being called...
"Purin..."
Purin looked around but there was know one there.
"Purin!"
"Were are you?"
"Behind you!"
As she turned, she couldn't help but laugh. Right behind her was a 'bush'.
"I need to ask you something!"
giggle...giggle...
'Must not laugh...must not..."
"BAWHAHAHAHA! OMG! HAHA!" not laughing hadn't worked. Tears started to run down Purins face. Kish stood up. He had tide branches to the tips of his ears. His alien outfit was covered in leafs his shoes were a pile of branches. Worst of all...his shirt was dripping wet...
"Those cursed dogs..."muttered Kish. As other kids started to look strangely at him, his face flushed a color of purple, then blue then a color that looked like a whole new shade of red.
"Shut up Purin..." hissed Kish, trying not to draw attention to him self...or the teachers...suddenly, there was a awful smell coming from his 'shoes'...Kish showed his fangs at the dog, who backed away.
"Kish...you might ..want...to...wash your...shoe tings...of ...doggie...doodoo..." Purin gasped for air in between words, still recovering from the burst of laughter.
"Purin shut up! I need to tell you some thing..."
"Kish! No!" Pie transported behind Kish, grabbing his mouth.
"You didn't see or hear anything..." said Pie.
"Pie! Kish! Why are you here! And why does Kish have a big Band-Aid on his head...?" Purin peeked over Kishes head, to see a very large Band Aid there...
"We weren't here, and well...ask Tart about the Band Aid..." suddenly, Pie teleported away with Kish, leaving Purin still trying to stop laughing. If the other kids hadn't starried at her before, NOW they looked at her like she was ...a...well...alien.
at the ship of Tart, Pie and Kish!
"Why did you do that! I was going to get her to help us!"
"With out giving away are master plan?"
"Ok, 3 things wrong with that...A.) It's MY master plan I made and planned it...
B.) SHE was going to help us...
And...C.) TART ISN'T EVEN GOING TO DO IT!"
Tarts room
sigh...
Sigh...
Sigh...
Tart not only hated knowing that he ruined Purins Birthday, but now Kish and Pie embarrassed her in front of the whole grade! 'She thinks it's all my fault...I just know it! I could do that thing Kish wanted me to do...Pie talked to Ryou about it, and he said he would help...maybe...just maybe...I'll ...'
"TART WILL YOU PLEASE DO IT?"
"Do what Pie?"
"You know what! Kish and I really need you out of here!"
"Why do you want to get rid of me?"
"Just ...because..."
"Listen, I've been thinking..."
"Yes?" Kish said.
"Yes?" Pie said.
"That maybe..."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"That I might?"
"YES YES!"
"Just MIGHT"
"YEAH?"
"YEAH?"
"Do your plan..."
"WHOOHOO!"
"Just maybe ...might..."
'What have I gotten my self into?'

Puirn walked home from school with her sibs. 'School isn't fun at all! The teacher was mad at me all day...I couldn't do the math problem...and now I have homework I can't do...and I still have to work at the café! Oh, what have I gotten my self into?'
