Hope you all like it so far.
Anyway, this is a good chapter too.
When my parents arrived home Desta and I had already been home for an hour or so.
"How was it, Rihana?" asked my mother.
"It was awesome! Better than what I thought it would be. Did you that Sky High has dorm rooms?"
"Yep," said my dad. "The principle called and told us about them. You can stay at the dorms over the week and come home over the weekend if you want to, Ree," he grinned.
"So what happened today?" asked my mother.
"Oh, you know--same ol', same ol'," I said grinning, that was before Desta elbowed me in the side. "Oh, I almost forgot."
"What is it honey?" asked my dad while my mom started making lemonade.
"Do you remember Daniel Robinson?"
"Daniel Robinson? Is he the one who got hit by the truck, Leyla?"
"Hit by a truck?" I asked as I rolled my eyes. "Forget I brought it up," I said shaking my head. "If you need me I'll be in my room packing for my dorm room."
"Oh, Desta, before I forget your mom called and said that you could stay in the dorms as well."
"Cool! See ya, Ree," she said before she walked out the door.
I went to my room and packed all my striped 'pixie' socks and all the other things I'd need.
"Wake up, Rihana!"
I awoke to the sound of my mother pounding on my door. "What?" I asked as I rolled out of my bed. "I'm up if that's why your here."
"That's not it," she said as I opened my door.
"What is it then?" I asked hesitantly.
"You missed your bus," she said grimly. "But the sophmore bus comes by here too, so don't worry."
Sophmores...
I got dressed and made my way to the bus stop.
When the sophmore bus arrived I got on only to see, to my fear and my delight, that the only seat left was next to Lash. He was sitting on the outside by the isle giving off the vibe of "Nobody's welcome here." Gee how great was this?
"Can I sit here?" I asked.
He hesitated before moving over toward the window. It didn't matter. Even if he had said no I would have teleported into the seat next to him.
I looked over at him. He was staring out the window, obviously lost in thought. "Hey," I said.
He looked at me. "Hi," was all he said before turning back toward the window.
"I'm Rihana, by the way."
He nodded.
"Are you normally this quiet?"
He just kept staring out the window.
I taking my Mp3 player out of my messenger bag to listen to in case he ignored me. I waited a second before turning it one. Just as I was going turn it on, he answered. "This place brings back so many memories," he said still staring out the window before he turned to me. "Watcha got on there?" he asked motioning to my Mp3 player.
"A little bit of everything," I said grinning. "Like--Ahhhhhhh!" I grabbed on to Lash's arm in fright.
It seemed we had started the decent before the rockets kicked in.
I muttered a quick "Sorry" to Lash who just chuckled then gave me his trademark smirk.
He is sooooooo hott! I wish I always rode this bus.
"Rihana," he said waving his hand in front of my face.
"What?"
He looked down and I looked where he was looking. "Heh heh! Imagine that," I said as I released his arm.
"Heh heh," he mocked as the bus landed.
I was off the bus and going up the stairs leading to the entrance when a girl I didn't even know glared at me. "The heck did I do?" I muttered to myself.
My first class was history, then math. After those two classes it was fine. Next it was English.
I don't think I can make it to lunch.
"Sure you can," said a voice from beside me.
I gave her a odd look before she introduced herself. "I'm Desdemona. I'm a mind reader. Sorry if that creeped you out."
"Oh no not at all. I'm Rihana. I'm a telep--kinetic," I covered. I didn't like her. Something just didn't seem right about her. She just seemed way to perky for this early in the morning.
"I'm a junior by the way."
"Oh, I'm a freshman," I said.
Just then the bell rang. Finally lunch.
"Told ya you could make it," she called as she left.
I went to find a seat to sit down at. I saw Desta waving at me from clear across the cafeteria. I went over there to sit and noticed Lash sitting alone at a table not too far from ours.
"I'll be right back," I said getting up and walking over to Lash. "Hey," I said as I sat down next to him.
"What?" He seemed pretty tense and annoyed.
"Nothing," I said, starteled at his sharp tone. "Well, actually, I was wondering if you wanted to come sit with me and--"
"The sidekicks? No, I'd rather be labeled gay than sit with at the loser table," he said getting up and moving. "And if you knew any better you'd do the same," he said turning and examining my clothing. "Pixie," he finished with a sneer before walking off.
I rolled my eyes and walked back to sit Tyhra, Rose, and Desta. "He's being a rather stuck-up snob at the moment," I said, rolling my eyes as I sat down.
We all ate in silence.
After lunch I went to my locker to get my "Science for the Mad Scientist" when it felt like some sort of gravity field was pulling me down by my ankle. I tried to teleport out of it but it was too strong. I was down on the ground struggling for air before someone did something.
I heard someone get knocked against the lockers. As soon as that happened the pressure lifted. I tried to look at who saved me, but fainted before I got the chance.
Sorry for the cliff-hanger thing, but it's already 2:30 here, and I need to get to bed. The next chapter will be up tomorrow. I promise.
Oh and I think the next chapter will have some about Lash's background.
Rihana
