Chapter 5:
"Oh no!" Kimiko thought as she was about to enter geography for the second time. Instead she stopped dead in her tracks as she peered inside the classroom. The first day of school had already been bad enough. So far, the second was worse.
Last night, Keiko said Katara could not walk to school with them the next day, because her grandma wanted her to walk with another new girl who none of them knew. Katara said this girl was blind and would need to be guided throughout the school. Meanwhile, Sokka escorted his new "girlfriend", Suki, and Clay had to go to school with his dad again.
Apparently, Keiko had also made an attempt to teach Kimiko a lesson to wake up earlier. Kimiko thought it was annoying, because Keiko wakes up thirty minutes earlier than her. Kimiko just wakes up to her alarm clock. 'Geez, she didn't have to leave the house without me.' Kimiko thought.
The only good thing that happened so far was that obnoxious Raimundo kid did not make an appearance anywhere near her locker today.
When she arrived at her geography class, she saw the worst sight. She saw Charlie Jed (Chameleon Bot) dressed as Kimiko herself. They looked like identical twins!
He was wearing the same brown boots, ponytailed buns on each side of his head, blond hair dye, a red baby tee with a khaki vest on the outside, khaki shorts, and the makeup. Everything was perfectly the same. Even his face looked like Kimiko's! Luckily, her friends, teacher, and many other students were not present yet, so she had time to kick the crap out of Chameleon Bot.
Raimundo was there, and he would be able to see what would happen if he messed with her again. She saw him go up to whom he thought was Kimiko, and try to flirt with him. Chameleon Bot took out his Transformers action figures to show Raimundo. Kimiko was about to scream.
"Now that Hispanic is going to make fun of me for being a robot freak when that is not even me!" complained Kimiko under her breath. Suddenly, she felt someone from behind tap her on the shoulder. She turned around and looked down, but saw nobody.
"Down here." Said the person.
Kimiko looked down and saw the weird Shorty named Omi from yesterday.
"Um, hi." She greeted, trying to forget about her rage. "So do you need anything?"
Omi pointed to Chameleon Bot. "She looks most like you." Omi said. Kimiko bit her lip. "Are you guys what they call, twins?"
'Does this shrimp think before he talks? Or does he just want to get his butt kicked?' Kimiko thought. 'He kind of reminds me of that Raimundo freak.'
There was no way somebody was going to compare her to this robotic cross dresser. Kimiko felt like punching this guy in the face, but she knew his head was either half full or half empty. She tried to hold in her anger.
Kimiko looked at the innocent little runt, and forced a plastic smile. "No, that's just some guy who dresses like other people. He just likes to copy their looks, okay?"
"Wow that is most intelligent." Omi replied with delight in his voice. "I think I will try that technique so my foes do not know who I am!"
Kimiko raised an eyebrow. 'What?' she thought. 'What world is this guy from?'
Suddenly, she heard someone behind her groan. She turned around and saw Katara with a frown on her face. "Uggggggh!" Katara groaned.
"Well hello to you." Kimiko replied to Katara. Omi just shrugged his shoulders and walked into the classroom. "What's wrong girl?"
"I see what you mean by obnoxious guys now." Katara replied.
"Hah! I told you Rai was rude and annoying! So there! I win!" Kimiko said in delight.
"No, I'm not talking about Raimundo, he's all yours." Katara told her.
"Darn it! Then who?" Kimiko asked.
"Well, unlike Raimundo, he looks pretty ugly. He has this gross scar around one eye. And gosh, he is so rude!" Katara said in anger.
"Just like Rai, but without the scar." Kimiko said.
"No not really. But anyways, I saw Jet walking down the hall this morning, and I wanted to go talk to him. So I tried running up to him, and I wasn't watching where I was going. And then gosh! That's when I bumped into him really hard! Then he was all like, 'Are you blind? Watch where you're going!'" Katara stubbornly tugged on her brown braid, and looked like as she was about to yank it out.
Kimiko turned slightly red in embarrassment when she suddenly remembered she was the first one to yell something mean at Raimundo. And she was the one calling him obnoxious. "So, what did you tell him?"
"All I just said was 'maybe your blind for not seeing me!', and then I gave him an evil glare and stormed away. More importantly, I missed seeing Jet! I couldn't find him!"
"Wow that sucks. Do you know who this guy is?"
"Yeah, I think his name is like Zuno or Zucchini or something, but I don't really care! He was so mean to me!"
"Who was mean to you?" said Keiko, jumping into the conversation. She smoothed out her red baby tee shirt and blue jeans.
"Keiko! Why did you ditch me this morning?! I could have been late, thanks to you." Kimiko scolded.
"Relax, I went to get breakfast." Keiko was drinking the mocha she had bought from Starbucks.
"Whatever, just don't do it again."
"Sure Kim." The three girls walked into class and took their seats. Kimiko heard all her other classmates whispering and making silent comments about her.
"Hey Kim, I didn't know you had a twin!" Raimundo announced aloud. Kimiko suddenly remembered and saw Charlie Jed playing with his action figures. Kimiko stomped over to his desk and grabbed two of his action figures. She headed over to the trashed, and slammed them in there. She turned back to glare at Chameleon Bot.
"Ooooooooooooh!" The class said together. Kimiko stood triumph and proud. Very little did she know Mr. Gyasto was present during the whole event. He stood at the doorway and nodded his head.
"Still having problems in this class, aren't we Miss Tohomiko?" Mr. Gyasto asked her. Kimiko smiled weakly. She pulled Chameleon Bot's robot action figures out of the trash. They were covered in garbage and smelled like horse dung.
"Here they are!" Kimiko tried saying in delight.
"Yes, but they look dirty." Mr. Gyasto replied.
Kimiko wanted to say, 'No, they're clean.' In a sarcastic tone, but she kept her mouth shut so she wouldn't get into further crap.
Mr. Gyasto sighed. "Ms. Tohomiko, I would like you to go up to yourself and apologize." The class snickered in the background.
Kimiko walked up to Charlie, and twitched an eye. "Sorry….." She said. Mr. Gyasto nodded in satisfaction. When he wasn't looking, Kimiko took her right index finger to her throat, and pretend to slit it. She looked Chameleon Bot in the eye.
Kimiko sat down. Mr. Gyasto started lecturing, but Kimiko could not pay attention. Her friends were able to though. Katara was probably thinking about her anger towards Zuno or whoever he was. Meanwhile, Keiko was probably pretending so she wouldn't have to face Kimiko with guilt of leaving early.
Kimiko could not help, but turn to look at Raimundo. He was staring at her. He gave her a smirk. Kimiko made a threatening face and turned back.
'Oh mi gosh! Why does he keep looking at me for no reason?' Kimiko asked herself 'Maybe he really does have interest in me!' She figured Raimundo was probably still staring at her, so for the whole period, she looked in the other direction.
"Homework! Why do we have to have a frickin' worksheet when we didn't even learn anything!" Kimiko argued as she and her friends walked down the hallway.
"It was probably you that didn't learn anything, considering the fact that you were trying to cover up staring at Raimundo the whole time!" Keiko admitted.
"No I wasn't! He was staring at me!" Kimiko argued. "I hate him looking at me!"
"Why, because you're afraid he'll think you are ugly?" Katara asked.
"No! What if Zuno was staring at you like that?!" Kimiko asked Katara. Katara turned away and stayed silent.
"Hey Katara, you didn't tell me about this Zuno guy. What's he like." Keiko asked her.
The first bell rang
"Oh, got to run now, or else, we'll be late, right?" Katara said in a rushed tone. "Bye guys!"
The other two watched as Katara scurried away. "Wow, she must really like him to be shy enough not to talk about him, huh?" Keiko said.
"Not really." Kimiko said. "But I think I should go to class now." The girls said their goodbyes and headed off to their classes.
As Kimiko entered the classroom, she tried to look for a seat where she would not end up next to Raimundo again. He had caused her enough crap already. Clay entered the room at the moment.
"Clay! Hey!" Kimiko greeted with happiness. "Want to sit with me today?"
"Sure, yall'." Clay answered. They sat down at two empty seats. Jack Spicer walked up to Kimiko.
"Hey Kimiko! I came back for you!" Jack said in delight. His blue sweater vest had a juice stain on it. It grossed Kimiko out.
"Hi….." Kimiko greeted.
"So, did you see me yesterday? I was in the hallway, trying to get to you? But then, all these people came over me like the sea!" Jack said.
'So that's who was following me down the hall.' She thought. "Whatever." She told him.
"And who's this guy? Some cow from the desert?" Jack asked.
"Man, this guy is annoying as a morning chicken crying cocka doodle doo." Clay muttered to Kimiko.
"He's so stupid. He's only in our grade because he's good at science. He wins like every science fair, but he sucks at life." Kimiko said.
"You mean Life? The board game? I'll have you know I'm pretty good at that game! Don't forget were going to play doubles sometime." Jack reminded Kimiko.
"Whatever, but you better check your desk. Your desk is untied." Kimiko said.
"Yeah, you better go fix it." Clay added.
"Right! I'll get to it!" Jack said. As he walked away, Kimiko noticed how his white shirt was badly tucked in. Also, his khaki pants were wrinkled and needed to be iron big time.
Once again, the bell rang and class started. Kimiko saw Raimundo was sitting in the other side of the room with the strange kid named Omi.
"Yes!" Kimiko cheered under her breath.
Mr. Fung entered the room. He heard several students yawn. "By getting up early in the morning one also gets more time at his disposal for work as compared to late-risers. Scholar and thinkers get up early in the morning and contemplate. "
"And how does he come up with all these sayings?" Kimiko whispered to Clay.
"I heard he gets them from a desk calendar from the dollar store." Clay told Kimiko.
"Ah, I sea all the fish are scattered in the sea today. I would like everyone to return to the seats they had the previous day." Mr. Fung declared.
Kimiko's bubble burst. "Man, why does everything draw me to that Raimundo guy all the time?"
"And that will be your permanent seat." Mr. Fung finished.
"Nice." Kimiko commented.
Clay snickered. "Good luck. You always can wish on me horseshoe."
"That's okay Clay." Kimiko groaned as she left her seat.
"Yo. What's up?" Raimundo asked Kimiko as she sat down. "Now we can be together forever."
"In your dreams. Just shut up." Kimiko told him. She put her backpack down on the floor without noticing it got tangled in the legs of both her chair and Raimundo's desk.
Raimundo still had a grin on his face.
"Now students, I would like you to take out your essays."
'Oh mi gosh! I forgot to write my stupid essay about Raimundo!' Kimiko thought. Raimundo tapped her on the shoulder.
"So what did you write about my greatness?" Raimundo asked Kimiko.
"Why would I want to write about you?"
"Well, because you have to ,duh."
Mr. Fung stopped by Kimiko's desk. "And where is yours Kimiko?"
"Um, I kind of……forgot." She admitted.
"Oh, then, you will be taking a late grade."
Kimiko put her head down. 'Man it's only the second day and I'm already failing a class! All because of this stupid Raimundo.'
"Since I did not share my time to tell you about this course that what I will do today." Mr. Fung said.
'Great, another lecture. Just what I needed.' Kimiko thought. She knew she wouldn't pay attention anyways.
She had her mechanical pencil on her desk, and it rolled over and fell on the floor in front of her. She leaned forward to reach it, and she fell over. "Whoa!"
Kimiko's backpack pulled on the leg of Raimundo's desk, so it pulled his over too. "Ah!" Raimundo shouted as he fell over Kimiko.
The class gasped.
Kimiko blushed. Mr. Fung walked over to them. "You two can show your affection for each other outside of class. There is a time to learn, and other times to fool."
Updated! I wanted to update before I would go on vacation, but when I come back I will write more! I have more of this fanfiction planned out already.
