Chapter 6- First Day of School pt. 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I yawned as my alarm clock rang out at 6:30. Getting up out of bed was harder than I thought it would be and I laid in bed for about 10 minutes before I attempted to get up again. This time, I swayed a little when I stood up and it looked like I was drunk. Literally. I quickly grabbed my robe and walked to the bathroom and locked the door. Turning on the shower, I groped around for my shampoo and conditioner. I was totally a mess. I quickly slid out of my clothes and stood underneath the shower, letting the hot water drench me entirely. I brushed my teeth and combed my hair, shortly after I finished showering and it took me a while to do my hair. If Ryoma wasn't looking good, at least someone would have to for the both of us- and that would be me. I threw the robe over me and tied it before stepping outside, looking around for any sign of someone's presence.

Ryoma had walked out of his room, messy black hair and all. He seemed just as sleepy as I had been earlier. When I entered my cold room, I hurriedly changed into the school uniform that Mrs. Echizen and Mom had bought at the school. It looked pretty good on me, even I had to admit. And I had also been learning Japanese over the last weeks in America so that might be helpful. Plus, I learned some new words from Nanako when she had free time. There was a knock on my door and Kenton came busting in with Opal scratching him accidentally with her long nails.

"Ow," he mumbled before turning his attention back to me.

"What is it," I asked impatiently, my foot tapping quietly.

He let Opal go and she immediately jumped to my pillow, hissing slightly at Kenton.

"I won't ask again Kenton, what is it?" I growled in a low voice.

"Ready for school? We leave in 20 minutes after breakfast," he glowered over at Opal who merely ignored him and began playing with her rubber mouse toy.

"You're not talking to Opal you know," I muttered, noticing that most of his attention was on Opal instead of me. "And I'll be down in five minutes." And with that, I shut him out of the room, looking over myself in the mirror.

I made sure I had everything like my books, my school shoes that were a must, and other needed things. I put my hair up, letting strands of hair fall loosely over my shoulders. Satisfied with my look, I opened the door and Opal rushed out of the room, probably in search of something to play with instead of her mouse. I sighed and headed down, putting my bag on the sofa I sat on the night before. Something delicious came from the kitchen and I quickly went in, noticing my hunger. It was like a buffet, except it was at home and it was just breakfast. I grabbed two pieces of toast and spread strawberry jam over them. I finished it up with half a glass of milk, which Ryoma kept staring at me as I drank it slowly.

"What?" I asked after I set the plates and cup in the sink.

He shook his head and replied, "The milk…"

I cocked an eyebrow at him and frowned. "What about milk? It makes you grow taller," I smirked at him, teasing him about his height. Of course, I was just about centimeter taller than him but that didn't matter. I was taller than him!

I grinned to myself and this time, it was Ryoma's turn to stare at me like I was crazy. The others were gaping at the two of us, not really knowing what was going on. I felt the pairs of eyes on me and Ryoma and I quickly stopped arguing, hoping to get less attention than that at school.

Ryoma grumbled something and finished up his croissant, telling our parents we were off for school. I thanked the moms and Nanako for breakfast and hurried to get my book bag. Kenton and Ryoma were already outside as I noticed that their shoes weren't there. I hurried and put on my shoes before rushing out of the house and catching up with those dorks.

"You guys are so nice," I muttered sarcastically.

"I know, aren't we?" Ryoma grinned.

I glared at him and Kenton seemed amused at our petty arguments.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked him, poking his arm.

"Nothing, did you see me laughing?" Kenton yawned, obviously tired.

"Well, no," now that I thought about it, he wasn't really doing anything. I think I was just so into accusing him of stuff, the idea that Kenton wasn't doing 'anything' sort of bothered me. Does that make sense? Anyway, I was so deep in thought that I couldn't hear the two calling my name. Ryoma was pointing at a large building next to us and I assumed this was the great Seishun Gakuen.

"People, do speak English here… Right?" I asked Ryoma nervously.

"Does it look like it?" he looked at me, one of those annoyed expressions on his face.

"Well gee, sorry," I sighed looking around at all the students who were passing by.

Ryoma then added, "There are some classes with a few English speakers."

My expression brightened a little in hopes of finding friends in this foreign world. "So, I'm probably having every class with you," I muttered, disappointedly.

"Not every class, no. That would be like a death sentence to me," Ryoma shuddered. "There is one class- English- that you won't have with me."

I nodded faintly then thought about what he said. "Hey! What's so bad being stuck with me!" I was on the verge of throwing my bag at his head.

"Everything. You're annoying, loud, what could be worse?" Ryoma grinned. I guess one of his new hobbies was teasing me now.

I simply sighed and looked around for Kenton. "Where'd he go?"

"Somewhere over there," Ryoma pointed in the direction he had ran off in search of people who can speak English.

"Oh my god," I blinked at my embarrassing brother who went from group to group looking for people to talk to. "I have to avoid him as much as possible."

"I havta agree with you there," Ryoma grinned in enjoyment at Kenton.

"Okay, let's go get my classes," I said and headed towards the building.

"The principal's office is that way Reyna," Ryoma pointed in the opposite direction of where I was going.

"You always have to ruin my mood huh?" I frowned at him.

He shrugged lightly and began leading the way. When we reached the office, Ryoma was just beginning to slip away when I noticed and I grabbed his arm.

"You are not going anywhere," I glowered at him.

He gave up reluctantly, and I let go of his arm as I knocked on the door.

A voice came from the other side of the door and Ryoma nodded at me, telling me to enter. It was a pretty big office, filled with shelves and cabinets of awards and trophies. At the far end of the room, there was a desk and there sat the principal. There was also another lady in there, waiting for us to sit down in the two armchairs in front of the desk.

"Hi there Ryoma," she greeted then shifted her attention to me. "You must be Reyna. Welcome to Seishun Academy. I'm Ms. Hanson, the English teacher here. I hope you have a great year here at school."

I was a bit speechless at first then bowed slightly and replied, "Yes and thank you."

We took our seats in the chairs and looked up at the principal who merely smiled at us. I was starting to get a bit uncomfortable when Ms. Hanson broke the silence by speaking to the principal in Japanese. Then he replied back and Ms. Hanson nodded. She turned to me and Ryoma and spoke:

"(XD I don't know the principal's name apparently so I'm just gonna go with 'The Principal'! –thunder in the background-) The Principal welcomes you to this school as I just have and would like you to stay with Ryoma for most of the day today until you get used to the school. The only class that you won't have with him is the English class with me, 2nd period."

I looked at Ryoma, who merely held a grimacing expression on his face. I frowned at him then turned back to Ms. Hanson. Then she continued after chatting with The Principal for a minute and given a yellow slip:

"Here is your school schedule, and if you need anything, just come to my class and ask," Ms. Hanson gave me the slip and it had all of my classes and room numbers. Thank god it was in English or I would've had to ask Ryoma to translate everything on the paper. I felt Ryoma look over my shoulder to take a peek at my schedule and I folded it in half and stuffed it in my bag. Ryoma glared at me as I grinned and The Principal dismissed us. As soon as I closed the office door, Ryoma extended his hand towards me and I looked at him as if he were out of his mind all of a sudden.

"What do you want?" I asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Lemme see your schedule," he said pointing towards my book bag.

"Why? I have all the same classes as you, don't I?" I rummaged through the pocket I had put the agenda in.

"Maybe," he mumbled as he unfolded the paper. His eyes were scanning the yellow slip. "Hah!"

"Hah what?" I looked at my sheet of paper.

"You don't have P.E. with me!" he grinned in triumph.

"So what?" I muttered.

"Just cause," he replied and handed the paper back to me. "P.E. is like my best subject, and I don't want you to ruin it."

"I see," I paused momentarily, then continued, "Trying to impress the girls I see."

He turned his back on me and began walking to first class- language arts. "Why not?"

"Awe, is wittle Ryoma angwy?" I teased happily not realizing his answer. "Wait a sec, what do you mean 'Why not'?"

"I know that there are some girls I can impress in a heart beat with my skills," he yawned sarcastically.

I laughed, "Yeah… Sure, whatever."

"Yep," Ryoma muttered turning around to look at me.

I thought for a second that he had a cute sort of smile on his face and I briefly blushed. Noticing the red tint in my face, Ryoma asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"Huh? What about me?" I stammered a bit.

Shrugging, we headed off to first class. It seemed to pass by pretty fast considering only a few boys were looking back at me time to time with interest and some girls were staring at me as if I had done something to them already. When class was over, Ryoma wouldn't even look at me and he had sort of an angry expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" I finally asked in a moment of silence as we were about to go in our different ways to class.

He didn't answer just yet but took his time to think about it. Then sighed, "Nothing."

I didn't believe his reply because I knew something was bothering him and he hurried off to class after that. "What a weird kid," I muttered as I made my way through the school to look for Ms. Hanson's classroom.

I opened the door and there were only about 15 kids there with Ms. Hanson sitting in her desk, up at the front of the room. She smiled brightly at me and motioned me to sit down in any of the left over desks. When the bell rang, two more girls ran in and plopped down on their seats. Ms. Hanson stood up and began telling the class about a new student today. She looked at me and soon, all eyes were directly on me. I stiffened a little as I stood up and headed to the front of class. I thought of a few words to say as an introduction and I looked to the class.

"Umm, hi. I'm Reyna Tanerin," there was a bit of chattering after I said my name and Ms. Hanson had to tell them to be quiet so I can continue. "So, I guess all there is to say is that I'm from America and I hope I'll have a good school year with you guys."

The class clapped a little and I hurried back to my seat. One of the girls who had come in late smiled at me from her seat and I returned it politely trying not to get an enemy from the beginning of the year. When class was over, I stayed behind, still trying to stuff one last notebook into my bag.

"Here, let me help," a voice came from over my shoulder and I jerked up a little, surprised to be able to understand the voice. It was the girl from earlier.

"Oh, thanks," I replied gratefully and passed the bag and notebook to her.

She began trying to squeeze the notebook in between two binders and after a moment or two; she finally managed to get it in. But barely. Both of us stared at it as a corner of the notebook was folded.

"Whoops, sorry," she laughed nervously.

I just shook my head and replied, "It's okay, thanks for the help. I'm Reyna."

"Yeah, I know," she smiled shyly. "I'm Sakuno Ryuzaki, nice to meet you."

"Same here," I grinned and the two of us walked out of class.

"So," Sakuno seemed to fumble with her English a little. "Are you here with everyone?"

I looked at her quizzically, then figured she meant to say anyone and I thought for a moment. "Only the 2 most annoying people ever. My brother and a guy named Ryoma Echizen."

She looked at me, her eyes wider than usual. "Ryoma?"

"Yeah, Ryoma. Don't worry. We're not together or anything so if you like him, he's all yours," I smirked at her.

Sakuno instantly blushed at the last statement and stammered, "N-no! It's not like that!"

"Really? I promise I won't tell anyone! You can tell me," I pleaded to her.

"Well…" she mumbled for a second but seemed to decide against it. "I'll tell you later. I've got to get to class!"

"Wait, what do you have next?" I asked her.

"Umm, P.E.!" she said.

"Me too!" I scanned my schedule for third period. "I'm like lost so can I go with you?"

Sakuno merely nodded in agreement and we hurried outside to the P.E. area. It was huge…

"Wow," I muttered as I followed Sakuno to wherever she was going. (A/N: Okay! It's like getting a bit complicated for me so now; Reyna is a good Japanese speaker! Please excuse the sudden interruption!)

"Eh, Sakuno-Chan. Who is this?" a voice came from behind us.

Sakuno and I turned around seeing two ninth graders. Really TALL ninth graders.

"Oh, Eiji-Senpai! Fuji-Senpai!" Sakuno bowed slightly but I just stood there dumb-founded. "This is Reyna-Chan! A new student here."

"A bit too cute don't you think?" Eiji bent down so he was face to face with me. He seemed to be staring at me intently and I blushed.

"Eiji, don't go scaring off the girls," Fuji grinned and waved lightly at me. I smiled in return, still blushing. Sakuno jabbed my side a little and I turned to her who was pointing in the direction of the girls' locker room.

"Nah, that's alright Sakuno-Chan, we'll take Reyna here for a little tour!" Eiji draped an arm around my shoulder and grinned. I couldn't stop blushing even for a little second.

"But Eiji-Senpai, you don't have that kind of authority do you?" Sakuno asked a bit worriedly.

"Eiji, forget it! I know you want that tour guide job of the safari at the zoo but this isn't how you're going to get the employment," Fuji plainly stated.

Sakuno and I looked up surprised from Eiji to Fuji and we both started laughing. I tried to keep it in but it wastoo funny. Eiji merely glared at Fuji and sighed hopelessly, letting go of me.

"Well, it was nice meeting you," I bowed to them, still laughing and Sakuno and I hurried ran to the locker room.

"Okay, that was weird," I murmured after changing.

"I agree," Sakuno nodded as she slipped into her sneakers.

"Well, we better get to an activity," she said and lead the way out of the locker room to the courts and equipment.

"Wonder what we're doing today," I thought...
