Chapter 2: High school rules and regulations
She brought out a map that she had obtained from the reception desk at the beginning of the entrance hall. Stupid and confusing just like she had thought, as she put the map back down running a few fingers through her hazel brown fringe.
Her direction was not usually so bad but this was a whole different area for her. Great first day and already lost way to go Hitomi! She thought angrily.
"Watch where you stand bitch!" the rude voice came from a random girl passing by who had just bashed into Hitomi. Geez so rude! I hope there are more students with manners here. She desperately hoped as she straightened out the pretty pink hair band she always wore for her hair, that was done in two presentable bunches.
"Over here" a short bold and rather chubby man called from a few feet away.
She cautiously took graceful steps towards him carefully making sure she did not have another accident. "Hello I am Hitomi" she began, he just ignored.
"Yes I am aware who you are, why are you diddy dallying around the hall find your class now" he ordered obviously forgetting common courtesy.
"Sorry sir I had gotten lost, or rather I am lost" she exclaimed shyly. Not liking the angry look the ugly man gave her. He reminded her of a pug faced bull dog in rage I pray he's not my teacher.
"Where's your time table come on hurry up I do not have all day" he held out one hand. She began to vigoursly check through her bag that was full of more junk than she realized. Oh I bet mother packed all this junk in here! What is wrong with her ah got it!. She passed him the timetable that he scanned curiously like he was noting it all down in his head.
"You're in the same class as Lie Fang she's over there ask her to show you to your room" a short chubby finger pointed in the girl's direction.
Should I wave oh but I do not want to look like a complete dumb ass. Upon glancing at the girl who was talking to her friend she noticed the girl smile. Oh shit she's seen me busted!.
"Hi" the girl smiled gleefully, that was a relief for Hitomi since she hated making the first move. She felt it was better when people readily come and start up a conversation. She returned the smile as the up beat Chinese girl giggled.
"So you're new huh! It's so funny when the new kids get lost it takes them days to find their way" the young girl joked as they walked to her first class. They had just about managed to start a conversation, mainly lie fang doing the talking. Wow she's a perfect conversationalist I bet she had loads of friends. Hitomi sighed.
"This is all a little new to me, I don't even have the slightest clue where my locker is?" not very good for her first day. It was becoming an increasingly annoying pain to carry her big back pack everywhere. I knew I should have got mother to take me shopping! We only use this bag for hiking around the country side of Germany, its hardly good for school. She hoped she was not having one of her famous body blushes at the thought of being embarrassed.
"Well there's like only one free locker in this school….so I guess that has to be yours" the girl sounded a little unsure. Hitomi had to admit the girl had made a good first impression by being brave enough to come and talk to her first. It was comforting to know she had at least made one friend at school. Well rule number one has been cleared, make a friend.
"Is this it then?" Hitomi examined the lockers before her. Hers seemed to be directly placed by a slightly roughed up one that had a dent in the middle. Lots of graffiti all over it, she assumed that who ever owned it must not use it often. Or was a strange artist.
"Pretty impressive art? Does someone still use it" it was not really her locker, so she was not sure why she was asking that question. "Oh yeah that locker is owned by none other than Jan Lee" she noticed how the girl went slightly uncomfortable when mentioning the boys name. He must be the school bully or something, great I have a locker next to the school social demon, always my luck.
"Jan Lee is pretty much the social outcast in school, that's why no one dares get that locker next to his, and that is why that ones the only one left" Ah I knew it!. The girl let out a sigh her violet hazel brown eyes suddenly paying attention to a dark figure in the hall. "Hey Hitomi there is your class by the way, I will be back in the minute tell miss I will be late see ya" the girl skipped off before Hitomi got a chance to speak.
"Oh well so much for not facing the class alone…..oh well" Hitomi breathed her last sigh before turning to face the class room. Oh this is it! No more classes in my front living room anymore……its all high school now oh joy. She straightened out the creases in her skirt that was not so immaculately clean and tidy. What could she say she happened to be a very un-tidy girl but tidiness only made up a percentage of her weaknesses.
This is it! No turning back I have to face this head on at least I can safely say I made a friend who knows maybe I will make more. She now strolled into the classroom with a confident attitude that she was not quite used to.
Note: I prefer my other version of this sometimes lol, but DOA style is nice.
If you have read and enjoyed this then I would be very grateful if you would be so kind as to REVIEW and tell me. I love reviews but not as much as I love writing stories and loving Hayate and Jan Lee! Next chapter up real soon again sorry for any errors with this story I shall get cracking on the case right away (Salute).
