Kyo and I walked through the door and were assaulted by the smells of Cajun cooking. "Hello, guys! We're starting our Louisiana foods unit today, so I brought lots of Cajun food. Hey, you're the new student aren't you?" She latched onto Kyo, dragging him over to a seat. She plunked him down in a chair, scooped up a spoonful of something, and shoved it in his mouth. He looked surprised for a second, and then he started gasping for air. Oh, crap. She fed him the chili. She handed him a jug of water and he started chugging. He only stopped to get some air. Poor, poor Kyo. She had done the same thing to me last year. (There was some kind of mix up in the schedules, and all the tenth graders had to take their ninth grade History classes over again.) "How'd you like it?" Mrs. Lyles asked. "Was it too spicy?" "Damn right it was too spicy! What was that anyway!" Kyo was definitely not happy. "It was my famous ten-alarm chili. It's made with one of the spiciest peppers in the world. Kyo looked like he was about to scream at her again, so I walked over and slapped my hand over his mouth. "Mrs. Lyles, this is Kyo Sohma, our foreign exchange student from Japan. He's staying with my family while he's here. Kyo, say hello to Mrs. Lyles," I said, daring him with my eyes to do anything else. He sighed and I removed my hand. He introduced himself, and Mrs. Lyles did the same. I sat down in my seat and Kyo again chose the seat behind mine. Mrs. Lyles gave us our instructions: get in pairs and pick a food. Place it in one of these categories, Cajun, Creole, slaves, immigrants, or fast food. We chose our pairs, (Kyo was with me) (duh) and we picked foods. Kyo and I got hominy. I knew that already, because we'd done a unit on slaves before, and that was what they had eaten. It was over quickly, and then we had nothing to do. I heard Kyo scrounge around for paper, and knew he was going to write me a note. What was with that! he wrote. He threw it over my shoulder and onto my desk. I decided to go with the innocent route. What was with what? I wrote back. You know what I'm talking about. You put your hand over my mouth. I sweatdropped. Oh, that. I had to make sure you didn't get yourself expelled. They take cussing at the teachers seriously around here. (This was kind of a lie, because, every once in a while, some one would cuss at a teacher. So far no one had gotten expelled for it. But better safe than sorry, right?) Oh, he wrote back, thanks. Another sweatdrop. Don't mention it. Then the bell rang, and we were off to fifth period. English and away!
We went into the English/Language Arts classroom, expecting a normal class. Surprisingly, we got it. Ms. Mallett is the most normal teacher in the school. She looked disinterestedly at Kyo, told him to pick a seat, and shoved a book in front of him. She told us to read until page forty-five, and sat down. He looked at her like she was the weird one, (I guess because, since she's normal in a weird school, she's the weird one here.) but did what she said anyway. We got through half the class, until the lunch bell rang. We ended up having to wait, though, because there was a mass of kids bursting out onto the patio. If Kyo and I had tried to wade through that mess, we probably would have gotten separated, and then Kyo's curse would be found out. When we were finally able to get out of there, Kyo and I went to get lunch. I wasn't particularly hungry for pig slop, so I went with Kyo to get him something to eat. (I knew he was hungry because you could hear his stomach growling five feet away.) He ate, and we left. I dragged him off to the library to read until the end of lunch. I led him to the manga section and picked out a few books with him. We sat on the couch and read for the rest of the lunch period. When we returned to class, we just had to read again. The bell rang again, and we were off to gym. Ugh. I hate gym. (But that's my only class with Raven, Kayleigh, Caitlin, Lauren, and Mallory.)
I ran to catch up to Raven and the others, dragging a protesting Kyo behind me. (He's getting dragged a lot in this fic, isn't he?) I hugged every body except Kyo, and we entered the cesspit that is the gym. Kyo and I were separated when we both had to go dress out. When I walked back out again, I saw Kyo surrounded by guys trying to get him to tell them his "secret." (By this time, Kyo had enchanted the hearts of almost all the girls at our school. Or some kinda crap like that.) I waved at him across the gym. He saw and waved back. This caused quite a stir among the guys around him. I could tell they were asking him why he was waving at a nerd. Kyo glared at them and started yelling. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch what it was because a piercing whistle had sounded right in my EAR! (The gym teacher hates me.) "All right, girls. Today we're gonna be running track. I want ten laps from all of you," she growled. My ear was still ringing as she took roll. We filed outside and started walking track. The guys' class had decided to play football today, and someone was explaining the rules to Kyo. He nodded and walked onto the field. They had put him in as…something. I don't like football, so I don't know what it's called. But anyway, he tackled a bunch of people and his team won the game. The teachers called us in to get dressed into our school uniforms again, and I walked over to him. "Having fun?" I asked. He nodded. (He was too busy panting to say anything else.) We walked inside and were out of our different locker rooms at the same time. I motioned for him to come sit with Raven, and me and everyone. He sighed and came over. Instantly, he was bombarded by questions. I swear, my friends must have asked his opinion on everything under the sun. Only Caitlin sat back and watched. I knew she was waiting for some answers, so I decided to go talk to her. "Hey," was my astute comment when I sat down next to Caitlin. "Hi," was her whispered response. I opened my mouth to talk when she cut me off. "How did this happen?" she asked. "I don't know. Friday night I dreamed about Kyo, and then when I woke up Saturday morning, he was asleep in my bed. Weird, huh?" was my answer. "Yeah, really weird. You're really sure it's Kyo? Have you checked for the curse?" she asked suspiciously. "Yeah. That was one of the first things I did." "Good. I guess it's safe, then. But I want you to be really careful. Kyo may not be as nice as he seems in the manga." "Don't worry. I'll be fine. I just hope no one else shows up," I said as the bell rang. "Well, I gotta go to class. See ya!" I said, heading to seventh period.
