Chapter 6:
Bunny POV:
After meeting my sisters, I went to the media arts class, which is my favorite class. I took the seat beside the window, sat down in my chair and logged on to the computer. I looked around the room and saw some people I knew, not as friends but only know them by their appearances. I never really paid much attention to anyone but my sisters. We only have each other in this world. I saw Brat on the other side of the classroom sitting with her boyfriend Tyson. He had his arm wrapped around her waist and were touching each other. I turned my head back around and pretended not to see what I just saw. After five minutes, the teacher walked in and started class.
"Morning everyone and welcome back. I am Mr. Ho and I will be your Media arts teacher for this semester. We have a new student, and I will let him introduce himself. Come in.," he says.
I saw the student and he was wearing black pants with a chain hanging on each side (silver chains), dark purple shirt with a black jacket over it, black and white Addidas shoes. The thing that caught my attention were his eyes. They were dark purple and mine were light. He spoke…
"What's up, my name is Blaze Jojo and I am the third child in the family. My family and I moved here from Citysville a couple days ago." Blaze says to the class.
"Thank you for your introduction and welcome to Townsville and Keele's High School. You can sit beside… Bunny" he says to Blaze.
I nearly chocked on my own breath and my eyes went wide but I kept my head down. He walked over and sat down to the computer next to mine. I did not look up to him, since I was so uncomfortable. The teacher handed us a worksheet that need to be completed for my marks at the end of class. He explained "You need to work with illustrator and Photoshop to do this Worksheet and will be counted for my marks. When you are done, send your work in my inbox and then if you wish, you may help your peers or do something silently." I got straight to work. I looked over the instructions on the sheet and they were so straightforward and simple.
Thirty minutes passed by, and I had completed the assignment. I looked over it three to four times, to see if anything needed to be fixed or edited. Eventually it was successful and I saved my work and sent it to Mr. Hoe inbox. I went up to him and told him that it is in his inbox. He opened it up and was amazed by my work. He said 'thank you' and I walked back to my seat. I didn't bother to look at Blaze's or anyone else's work, just minded my own business and listened to music on my IPod with a Purple black cover, and did some free drawing.
A few minutes passed by, and I felt someone poking me, to get my attention. I looked to see who it was and was surprised. It was Blaze. I took out my earphones and give him my undivided attention. "Hey can you help with something?" he asks me. "What is it?" I say. "How do I send my work to his inbox? I do not where it is." He says to me. "Well… did you save your work?" I say to him, and he nods yes. "Alright then. You go to the G drive because that is where the teacher's folders are" I say him and he does that. "Then scroll down to the folder that says 'Ho'" he does what I say. "Click on it and go to the folder that says inbox" he goes there. "Click on first assignment file and send your work here. After that, go to him and see if he has received it." I say to Blaze. "Thanks" he says to me. I give him a little smile and go back to my free drawing, and put my earphones back in my ears. It wasn't long till he came back. I again did not bother to look up. He poked me again to get my attention; I looked to meet his face.
"Why are you not talking?" he asks me. "I am an independent person and like to remain quite. I am not a talkative person. I like to be silent and mind my own business." I reply to his question. He gave me a confused face. "Why?" he asks me look down on my paper and answer him. "Because I just don't feel the need to talk to anyone, but my sisters." I say, which was the truth but not the entire truth. I did not regret it, I didn't trust Blaze, I mean I only meat him today and can't reveal everything to him. And I never will. I do not rely on anyone but my sisters and myself. I used to trust a friend before, and he threw it all back at face. I really do not want to recall on that memory. It is too painful.
"Would it be all right if I try to talk to you for a bit" Blaze says.
"I really don't know, it depends on what you want to talk about." I say. Still looking down at my paper, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Just casual stuff" he says.
"Alright" I say to him.
"So first, look at me so we can talk properly face to face." He says to me in a normal voice. I was honestly scared to look up.
"It 's ok, I want to look down at my paper and talk." I say back in a low voice, but good enough for him to hear.
"Why do I look ugly to you?" he says feeling offended.
"No it's not you, it's me… and I don't think you look ugly. I… just… don't want anyone to look at me because of my eyes."
"What about them?" he says, not being offended anymore. Only worried.
"They are different, not natural" I say. I didn't tell him why I though this, only my sisters knew. Then again, not revealing everything or anything to this guy.
"Look up and I promise that I won't make fun of you," he says to me. I take a deep breath and look up with my light purple eyes. When he saw my light purple eyes, his dark purple eyes widened.
"What?" I say in a shaky voice.
"Your eyes, they are beautiful." he says and I was totally shocked at his compliment. I look away and feel a little blush on my checks.
"Don't you find them weird?" I ask him
"No why would I find them weird. It is your naturally beauty. You should not be afraid to show it." he says to me, and I was taken back by it. I had no idea what to say.
I look over to the clock, ten minutes till class finishes. I start to pack my bag when I hear Blaze say something to me.
"What class do you have next?" he asks me
"Computer design and then interior design." I say to him, and I don't ask him question he asked me. It is not like we are friends or anything. Besides, my family is all I need. Even though I would want to make friends, I don't think they would want to be, after last year's incident that I do not want to recall.
"I have the same classes as you, let's walk together" he says to me. I realized that Blaze was not asking me; he was telling me as if had no other choice. I didn't say anything just went out the door, with him behind me. It wasn't long till Brat came up to me from behind.
"I though I told you stay away from the new guys in town. What is wrong with you, you stubborn jackass?!" Brute says to my face, while Blaze is behind me watching the drama lama.
"I did not ask him, he came along with me Brat. Stop jumping to conclusions and your threat did not even make any sense." I say to her in a calm voice.
"Don't get smart with me" she says with anger.
"Can't help it, I already am" I say back. Her face turned red and she took my arm, held it tight and pushed me towards the wall. At this point the crowed was watching us. She was about to come at me again when someone stepped in front of me. I could not believe my eyes, it was Blaze. Blaze was taking a stand for me?
"You touch her again, I will push you to the wall across from us. I don't care if you are a girl, no hesitation." He says it with venom and threating voice. Brat gives me a death glare, indicating that it is not over yet and will get me back for this, and walks away. I see my arm is red and I was a bit shaken up.
"You okay?" Blaze asks with concern. "Lets just head to next class, we are gonna be late" I say, not even looking at him. This is because I was shaken up, and hurt with what just happened. I managed to hold back my tears, thanks to BC; who helped me be strong.
