Aelita's day was quite easy and fun but not without it's uncomfortabilites. The older students here didn't pay her or the others any attention, Aelita pitied her fellows as they tried and failed to join the rest of the school. But the teachers here were quite nice and well under control of the students, they taught with efficiency and detail. She learned more in one day then she did at Kadic!
In her classes, such as mathematics and science and English, they were learning things two steps ahead of Kadic grades. By the end of the day she had filled up two folders with papers and notes she had known and been told this day. Her backpack which not a lot of Kadic students used was filled with books and papers just for the new students. She lugged her stuff to her room but she took a detour from the crowded and noisy halls to the open court yard where after school events where taking place.
She was lucky to find her two friends there already checking out the stuff. Aelita walked to them and found Kila snacking down on some cookies from the school's bakery stand. Terra had a small purse with her and it was filled with bright and shiny glass works, possibly from the pottery classes.
"Hi guys!" Aelita waved to the girls.
"How were classes?" Kila asked with a peanut butter cookie in her mouth.
"You and Odd would make the perfect couple, well the classes where much better then expected." Aelita said.
"Well I can see you got one heavy backpack?" a boys voice sounded behind Aelita.
The girls turned around to see Nathan with a taller boy with suave black hair. He had one a letterman's jacket and had his hands in it's pockets.
"Oh hi Nathan." Aelita smiled.
"Hey, um….you need help with that?" he pointed to her pack.
"Yes, the first day and I already have my locker on my back." She said happily as he took the pack onto his and she stretched out her muscles.
"Hey you girls tried the German Food stand yet?" Guerrmo asked trying to get their attention.
"Well…." Terra thought.
"Why don't you two go with him and try out some food? I'll join you in a little bit." Aelita proposed.
"What are you going to do?" Terra asked.
"I think Nathan can show me around here and tell me more about this school. Remember who's got a bone to pick with me, as Odd would say." Aelita smiled at the thought.
"Okay we'll meet at the arts area see you later then." Terra said as the three moved to the German food stand.
"Bye!" Aelita shouted.
The next half hour passed and they talked about things, like the school and it's events. She found out why all the food and craft stands were out, it was a once a week thing they had to raise money for classes to do things. She learned of the after school and early morning things that go on and the bad side of the school. Even the history of Kathleen and her gang.
"So that's why she's like that?" she looked surprised.
"Yup, but I think her hormones and just growing through teenage years made it worse. After that incident she began to distance herself away from everyone. Even more she started attacking others and became really offensive to those who barely even touched her." Nathan said.
"No?" Aelita said stunned.
"Yes, just like what happened to you others got it worse. But since she is the daughter of governor no one would dare accuse her for fear of blackmail or something. Personally though I think everyone is just afraid of getting beat up even more by her thugs she swarms herself around with. If she goes down then those who told on her will join her as well." He spoke sullenly over the evil girl.
"Wow, I never knew that one person could bear such evil as a child and end up like this. I guess I can understand her aggression." Aelita felt the girls pain but she only tasted a spoonful of the whole pool.
"She is a lost cause I guess. But tis the way of life ya know." Nathan said purchasing a soda and something else.
"But that doesn't mean that someone couldn't try and help her?" Aelita tried to defend the girl.
"Look man, you can say whatever you want but she will heal on her own. It's how everyone is, if you try and aid them you'll only open old wounds." He shook his head and opened his sprite can.
The two walked through the poetry and clay works and neared the arts center area. That was when Nathan handed her a jewelry class necklace from the stand next to the refreshments.
"I got it for you to help you get better acquainted with the place. Plus you'll make more friends when you look like a good person." He stuttered out slightly.
"What's a necklace going to do to speed up my assimilation?" She chuckled.
Nathan was at a wall so he shut up and looked straight forward.
"Well thank you anyways for this great gift. I love it." She smiled and hugged him fast, blushing rose.
He felt nervous and jittery but kept it to a mild shaking. They met up with the girls and Guerrmo, they sat on a bench and were eating something in a plastic takeout thing. Kila looked content among the food and Terra sat pretty close to Guerrmo, he really didn't pay attention to the closeness though.
"Hey so how did everything go, you guys enjoy yourselves?" Terra asked with a suspiciously playful look.
"I learned a lot of things and I'm sure Guerrmo shared some information as well." She said.
"Yes, you wouldn't know how easy it is to side step the bad and step into the crowd." Kila said out loud.
"Well now that the sun's almost set I think we should head in and look at all those papers." Aelita added since they all had enough time with boys.
They all bid each other good nights and the day settled in in their dorms. Aelita was first to take a shower and the huge availability of hot water here she took for granted. A nice steamy shower helped her forget the intense morning she had, and the blurred glass door gave her privacy. Seems this school is much more then either her or Jeremie could of imagined. She got back to there dorm room and Terra left for second. Kila laid on her bed listening to some music and closed her eyes, Aelita found it a great time to talk to the gang.
Going to the closet, she opened a suitcase and took out a laptop and it's accessories, a present from the school too her. She assembled it in five minutes and was already activating the camera to interact. Logging on to the special website Jeremie made, making a few adjustments to the webcam, accessing the cam forum, and clicking Einstein and friends subject.
Just as she clicked a window popped up.
