Chapter 15
"It's not fair."
Mom sighed. Light made no reply. I sat pouting in the back seat of our small car with Light sitting on my left.
"Honey," she began, "Light is two years older than you. It's just the way it is."
Light's uniform looked really good on him. I think he was going through a growth spurt. He stared out the window, his forehead against the glass, his eyes vacant. I felt myself stare at him for the longest time. What did he think about when he had that look on his face? Suddenly, his head jerked up and he looked at me. I heard my breath catch and I quickly looked away. I felt my face grow red. A strange feeling happened to my stomach.
"We're here." Mom kissed each of our heads. "Have a good day! Be careful! Light…"
"I'll make sure this one stays out of trouble." Light put his hand on my hand and twisted me around.
"I don't need him to watch me!" I huffed as I tried to wrestle him off of me.
Light and Mom smiled as if they had some private joke.
"What's so funny?!"
"SEN!" I heard in the distance. I turned around and felt myself grin.
"HANI!" I yelled. I reached high and waved spastically. With Hannah were Katy, Allie, Tristan and Wesley. They all grinned at me and beckoned for me to come over. I ran towards them as fast as I could and tackled Hannah with a hug.
"Oomph!" she said, but she hugged me back with twice as much force.
"Ouch!" I gasped. We released each other. Allie came up and punched my arm.
"Where were you this summer?!" she scoffed. "I called you, like, a hundred times!"
"Ow! Don't punch me!" I punched her back.
"Oh my god. You NEVER hung out with us." Katy joined the Attack-Sen club.
"I'm sorry!" I said. "I was busy!"
"Too busy for us, Sen?" Tristan said as he and Wesley joined the group. "Now I'm hurt."
"Oh, shut up!" I pushed him. He laughed.
"Oh my god, there's this strange guy watching you, Sen," Katy hissed. "Oh my god, is he, like, stalking you?"
Crap! I had forgotten about Light.
"What a pervert," Hani said softly.
"LIGHT!" I yelled. "Over here!"
Light glanced at my friends with an apprehensive look, then he started forwards and joined us.
"Guys, this is Light. Light, these are my friends… Hannah, Allie, Katy, Wesley, Tristan."
Light said nothing.
"Uhm… how do you know… Light?" Hannah asked. I felt my face flush.
"Uh, well… you see… he saved me last year when… when Sector 7 was destroyed, and before the school reopened…" Our school had been near Sector 7, and part of it had been destroyed. They closed it for a year to have it rebuilt. Mom had homeschooled us this year.
"So, what, he lives with you?" Allie demanded. Allie was rather blunt.
"Uhm…" My face really was burning right now. What was wrong with me?!
"Let me see your schedule!" Hani saved me. I took it out of my pocket and we compared schedules as I consciously brushed my hair in front of my flushed face.
"So… Light," I heard Tristan say. "What's with the name?"
I remained silent and pretended I hadn't heard him.
"Sen
gave it to me," he answered stiffly. "Why, jealous?"
I
looked up. Tristan and Light were locked in a staring contest.
Tristan was looking pretty angry, so Hannah and I pushed them away
from each other.
"Alright, break it up!" Hannah told Tristan.
"Light!" I hissed as I attempted to hit his chest. Light grabbed my forehead and held me at arm length away from him so I couldn't hit him. "Don't get into a fight on your first day!" I tried to hit him again, but my arms were too short.
"Yes Mom…" He rolled his eyes. I lunged at him and he pushed me down.
"NOT FUNNY!" I yelled. Light snorted. He released me and raised his hands a bit as if he was giving up on me.
"Alright… punch me."
"That's not fair!" I cried.
Light blinked. "Why not?"
"Because I don't want to punch you when you say that!" I stuck out my lip.
Light smiled. "Then hug me."
"Wahh." I tackled him. He squeezed me against him for a minute, then he let go of me. I looked up at him and put my chin on his chest.
"Light, do I have any classes with you at all?"
Light rubbed his eyes.
"I don't know… I'm so far behind… I have no idea where they put me."
"What about your schedule?"
"What about my schedule?" Light looked up and smirked. "Your friends are looking weirdly at us."
My eyes widened. I forgot about them!
I quickly let go of Light and crossed my arms over my chest.. Light laughed softly.
"You didn't have to let go of me. I was just pointing out a fact."
And as if just to emphasize his point of ownership over me, he placed his hand on the top of my head and twisted it around weirdly to face him. I wrinkled my nose at him and jerked free.
I turned to my friends to hide my red face. Hani was hiding a smile, Allie was looking skeptically at us, Katy's eyes were wide-open, Wesley was confused and Tristan was extremely pissed off.
Luckily the bell rang.
Hani and I were the youngest being freshmen, together with Katy, and Allie, Wesley, and Tristan were sophomores, together with Light. (I was actually supposed to be in eighth grade, but I was smart enough to skip a grade. I know I don't seem smart, but they thought I was.)
"Later, duders," Allie waved before she headed off in her direction. Hani grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the freshmen doors. I turned around to wave at Light quickly before turning back around. She stopped right before the entrance.
"Oh… my god," she said.
"What?" I said blankly.
"That guy? Light?" Her eyes were big and her face ecstatic.
"What about him?" I asked.
She smirked.
"Nothing," she said. "Nothing at all."
Ta-dahh.
Review please, I can tell you're looking at this because I see the hits!! :O
