Hey guys, this is chapter 2. Please review and enjoy.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
*TAYLOR'S POV*
I woke up kind of early, for me. It is 7 am now. I see the rest of my dorm sleeping. I see the curtains aren't across the new girl's bed and I get up to investigate. I go there and see the bed is made and it looks slept in. Weird. I think she came late at night and woke up early. Not a good combination. I go to the bathroom to get ready for the day. 2 minutes later, Casey & Emily come in. A minute later, Emma and some few minutes later she came. She had short messy black hair, a athletic physique. I bet that stomach had 4 pack abs. She had a kinda round face, cute if you ask me. She looked like a tomboy. I went to her eyes. I saw the most brown eyes you'll ever see. It's like mud, but quicksand type mud that will pull you in and never let you go. I tried to read her eyes but I only saw walls. That's the most weird thing ever. Now you'll say, Taylor you can only see what they are feeling only if you know them. No, that's wrong I can see what everyone is feeling but not in detail, I can see in detail if I know that person. While this all went through my head, she had said her name was Anagha. A weird name.
(BOLD IS TAYLOR & NORMAL IS ANAGHA)
"I'm from India."
"Where is India?"
"It's in South Asia."
"So..."
"Continue."
"Why are you here?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means why are you here?"
"Why is anyone here?"
"Don't get poet-y on me."
"I'm not a poet but I can rhyme."
"Not my question. Tell why you're here."
"To study, of course. Why are all of you here?"
(Casey, Emma, Emily, Alexis say)"To study."
"I meant that aren't there any good schools in Indiana?"
"India."
"India."
"There are."
"Then why are you here?"
"You know this taking a lot of time. I came for a shower. We'll continue this later."
(I notice she is sweaty. So she did go for a run.)
"Nuh-uh! You are gonna answer my question."
"I will, later."
With this she went into the shower booth and I heard the shower start. I turn to Casey, Emma, Emily and Alexis and say, "Well I hope this doesn't turn out like Zendaya". Alexis said,"But when Zendaya was new, she was your friend". "Fake friend", I correct. "So this means Anagha is your fake friend?". "No, it means I hope she is not fake". Realization floods Alexis face. "Ah". I see the time. "Well time is ticking. See you all at breakfast. They all say bye and I leave for my first class. It's English writing. Great. At least it could be worse. I enter the classroom and there is still 5 minutes to spare. I pick the first bench and get settled. In a minute, half the class is here and a start chatting with the girl beside me. Serena. No, Selena. She is a geek and I talk to her only cause I'm bored. 5 minutes to class starting, the teacher is already in and she comes in. She walks by the teacher and say's,"Good morning ma'am" and sits in the corner of the class, and I see recognition in Miss Jackson's eyes. Now I'm confused, is she a teachers pet or not and I guess they met sometime. I turn to look at Anagha and again see walls in her eyes. Weird. Everything about her seems weird. I keep thinking that a lot. Miss Jackson stands and tells Anagha to introduce herself. She stands in her seat and says,"Hi, I'm Anagha" and sits down. No last name, no hobbies, no nothing. Miss Jackson doesn't push her for more. Again, weird. When I joined she made me tell my name, hobbies, favorite colour, the classes I took, etc. Then the class starts and ends with us writing.
Next is English lit. Just my luck to get just English every Monday morning for a year. I see Anagha introducing herself to Miss Pierson. I thought she didn't like teachers. I seat at the first bench again. She sits at the last bench again.
The class ends. Now breakfast. Actually, you can have breakfast before first class and now you can snack & chat but many just have breakfast now. I am one of those many because we the lazy people. Yup, I am a secret dork but don't tell anyone. I see Casey shouting Swift to call me to our table. I grab a salad and a apple and go sit at our table. I see Anagha and tell Casey to call her over. Alexis asks why and I tell her cause she is in our dorm. I swear Alexis has gotten slower after summer. Anagha lifts a chair and sits down in a sec. I thought she might be strong but now I'm sure. Those chairs are kinda heavy and to lift it with one hand while the other is holding your breakfast is not a easy feat for us Canadian girls but she is still strong. Many people just look at her dumbstruck. Meanwhile, I notice she has eggs for breakfast. We are a veg school and don't have eggs. She notices the students stares and asks
(Bold Taylor and normal Anagha)
"What's up with them? Have they not seen a new student before?"
"Nah, its your strength."
"What strength?"
"You just lifted a chair! With one hand!"
"So what? That's not the first time I've done it."
"So you're strong."
"I guess."
"OK, so tell us about yourself."
"Not much to tell."
(Emma, forever the optimist)"Eh, come on, tell us."
"Okay, Uh I'm from India. I like pop music.(Emily is suddenly fully interested) I like to work out. I play the guitar and skateboard. I guess that's it."
"Tell us about your family."
OK. I have a mother, a father, a brother and grandparents.
"Just a older brother, no other siblings?"
"Younger brother and no siblings."
"Okay, so you like Justin Bieber?"
(Alexis & Emily)"I love JB."
"Sure."
"Sure what? Yes or no?"
"I like some of his songs."
"And the rest?"
"Is overrated."
"OVERRATED!?"
"Yup but I don't force my views on anyone else."
"Fine. Ariana Grande?"
"Love her."
"Voice or songs or just her?"
"Everything."
Now the bell rang. I say we'll continue the bathroom conversation later. She says sure. Next 2 classes pass without a hitch but on the third one Anagha is asked a question outta nowhere. Amazingly she stills answers correctly. That was History. Now is lunch. I'm hungry because I was asking her questions and didn't eat much during breakfast. I ask her about the eggs while walking to lunch. She says she wouldn't have come if they hadn't agreed to give her eggs for breakfast everyday. She said they just wanted a 'Smart Asian' in the school. She is really funny. We take the lunch and sit at the table. This time Emily was just telling us the celebrity gossip. As soon as we are all caught up the bell rings. Just 3 more classes and 2 of them is games. Surprise Surprise Anagha was great in games. She was on the other team in dodge ball so my team lost and in volleyball she was in my team and we won. Most of the girls aren't interested in games, just the schools hockey team.
After that classes are over and we go to our own dorms cause which all of us actually played were sweaty. Anagha took the shortest shower in the history of showers. Alexis was so shocked she actually slipped and fell on her face. Emma asked her why she took such a short shower. She replied cause she didn't wanna waste water. Now Emily fell down laughing and saying that there is enough water for everyone. Anagha frowned and said she knew that but that she takes 2 baths a day. By now everyone was laughing including me. Exasperated, she said we didn't know the importance of water. Now I really fell down laughing. After 2 minutes, we all quietened down and I asked her to explain why she was so water saving. She said it's a long story. Emma said we have time. She said she'd tell us when we were all wearing clothes and not towels. Everyone had to agree with that. But I said that she would have to tell us how she ended up in the place she is right now, not just the parts she told us and all the struggles too. She looked at me like 'do you know me'. Everyone literally begged. She did say yes after 5 minutes. Right at that moment I saw her walls come down, just for a moment, I saw half-trust and pain in in her eyes. I was so touched that she even thought she could trust us cause we just met today even though it feels like forever for me. I wondered what the pain was about. I thought about the smile when she said okay and I mentally patted my back. I thought about those pink lips without no lipstick and no lip gloss. I shivered. I thought what the heck am I thinking about. I AM STRAIGHT. NOT GAY. STRAIGHT. By the way, I broke up with my boyfriend 2 years back. Come to think about it, I never really liked him much and we were together for a year just cause he was the Quarterback and I was and still am the head cheerleader.
So, all of us dressed and we sit on the 5-seater couch and Alison sits on the extra chair. Yes, we have a sofa in a dorm. Emma tells Anagha to start talking. She starts...
CLIFFHANGER! Love them. You can bet she doesn't have the norm life. Drop a review guys. DISCLAIMER I DON'T OWN JUSTIN BIEBER AND I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST HIM. Except his and Selena Gomez's whole thing. I ALSO DON'T OWN ARIANA GRANDE.
