First Official Day
So far, it seemed Shadow had picked up a nick name. Pole. She couldn't get rid of it all day and to make matters worse, the teacher didn't like her.
"Miss Shadow, sit up straight!" Barked her English teacher after the fourth time she put her head on her desk. She sighed and straightened up again.
"Yes sir, Mister Speare" She muttered. The English teacher had a large mustache that muffled his every word. It was a miracle any one could understand him. A blond girl on her right scribbled down every word, her long hair falling over her face as she wrote furiously. Mister Speare seemed to favor her above all the other students. Suddenly, spit ball flew from the back of the room right into her teacher's mustache. A short kid in the back laughed madly, toppling over in his seat with a straw in his hand.
"LEE BARRS! I must warn you again and again of your outlandish behavior like you are four years old! My office! NOW!" Mister Speare shouted. Shadow watched the boy called 'Shorty' practically run to keep up with his teacher. A rubber band bounced off the back of his head.
"Hey Shrimp!" A jerk called from the back. Lee just ignored them, jogging into Mister Speare's office. Shadow felt sorry for him. He was half the size of her and everyone else in the classroom. Shadow could hear shouting in the office as the bell rang for the next class. The other students ran out before their teacher could come to give them homework. Shadow slowly gathered her books and slid over to the door, hoping to catch some of the conversation.
"Lee, I knew having you in my class was a mistake. An ex Talon like you causes nothing but trouble for my class room" Mister Speare shouted. Shadow gasped in horror. A ex-Talon?! The voices stopped. Shadow, realizing they heard her, scrambled out of the classroom, her Griffin stone enhanced running kicked into high gear. Instead of escaping, she ran into something. Instead of a pole, a large, twenty foot skunk looked down at her.
"Oh!" Shadow cried. The Skunk stared at her.
"Where's Lee?" He demanded.
"He-he's in Mister Speare's office" Shadow stuttered. The skunk grunted.
"Stupid kid. Never knows when to stop" He grumbled. Shadow stared up at him in wonder. He was huge!
"What are you staring at?!" He asked when he noticed her staring.
"Who are you?" Shadow asked. The skunk sighed.
"Tyrannis. My name's Tyrannis. Now run along girl, I don't have time to waste staring back at you" He snapped. Tyrannis shuffled away, muttering about idiot humans.
"My name's Shadow. Nice to, uh, meet you?" Shadow called after him. The warning bell spurred Shadow to her next class: Math. Her teacher had an icy cold stare, spiky pink hair and a familiar voice.
"All of you new air heads; I also double as the orchestra teacher. Those of you with measly guts better avoid it if you think you can't stand the heat" She challenged, throwing a look in Shadow's direction. The teacher was familiar and cold, but Shadow couldn't put her finger on it. Who was that? After an excruciatingly long math class, Shadow skipped down the hall to lunch. During lunch, the whole school was there. She could say hello to her cousin, Aerrow. Maybe even see Trayos!
Why don't I get to come out of the bag yet?! Whined Griffey from inside her book bag. Shadow whacked the bag, silencing the griffin.
"You can come out when I find a spot away from people who would freak out. Griffey, people think your kind is extinct. What would they think if they knew Pole had one?" Shadow reasoned. Griffey grumbled, but didn't say anything else.
"Shadow! Over here!" Rondana called from the end of the lunch line. Shadow grabbed a tray and slid next to her friend.
"What do have next period? I have art" Shadow asked. Dawne strolled over to her friends, snatching a tray off the pile.
"I have art next too. Miss D is awesome" She interjected. Shadow and Rondana smiled. Dawne tossed her silver hair over her shoulder and smiled back.
"Well, I have science next. The teacher seems to favor me because of my report on tuberculosis" Rondana said. Dawne raised an eyebrow.
"Rondana comes from Pathologica" Shadow explained. Dawne nodded, remembering the song about that place. Shadow slid her tray down the line and caught sight of the lunch.
"AUUUUUGH! It's moving!" She cried in horror. The lunch was bubbling and writhing! It-it….
"It's just really hot stew Shadow. Chill out" Dawne said skeptically. Shadow looked closer. It was just beef stew. Shadow sighed.
"I've made myself look like an idiot twice today" She said, mentally slapping herself.
"I'll say" A voice said behind her. Shadow looked around to see Aerrow. She noticed Radarr was limping and Aerrow had black eye.
"What happened to you?" Shadow asked. Aerrow sighed.
"This school does absolutely nothing about its student's behavior. New kids seem to be the main target" He explained. Shadow nodded.
"It happens to the freshmen too, doesn't matter if they're new or not" Dawne added. Rondana choked on her bread roll, trying not to laugh about Dawne's first day. Dawne just bit her lip.
"Stop laughing or I'll shove a cookie up your nose" She hissed. Rondana laughed harder and harder. Suddenly, a strange, furry humanoid ran into Shadow. Her stew landed on the floor with a smash.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" the creature apologized, mopping the mess up with a napkin. Shadow leaned down to help.
"It's alright. I seem to run into things or be run into a lot" She said. The creature looked up at Shadow.
"It's just when I run into things, people laugh at me" She explained.
"I get laughed at all the time. It doesn't matter what they think. They're retards" Shadow smiled. The creature smiled back.
"My name's Sakari. You can call me Ari" She said shyly. Shadow smiled warmly, which looked strange against her usual scowl.
"I'm Shadow. Nice to meet you" She said. A white lizard peered at Shadow from Ari's shoulder, it's spine changing from blue to suspicious green, like a mood ring.
"Hey there little fella!" Shadow said, waving at the lizard. It growled.
I'm not a 'little fella', you stupid human. I'm a drake it corrected her. Ari smiled, patting the drake.
"His name is Snowdrop. He's a drake" She said, introducing him.
"I see" Shadow commented. The drake looked at her in shock.
You can understand me? It asked.
"Why is that weird crystal you're wearing glowing?" Ari asked, her head cocked in curiosity. Shadow covered the Griffin stone quickly, dousing the light.
"It's just a crystal. Nothing big" She lied. Rondana coughed loudly, pretending to choke on a bread roll, for the fourteenth time. Dawne whacked the back of her head, causing the roll to be projected into the math teacher's spiky pink hair. The teacher, Mrs. Nightingale, turned swiftly, noticing Shadow, Rondana and Dawne stuffing food in their mouths to keep from laughing. She didn't suspect them, so she just chucked the bread roll neatly into a trashcan.
"What are you doing?" Ari asked, her face skeptical in reaction to Shadow's odd eating habits. Shadow choked, sending bits of beef onto the floor.
"We didn't want to get caught! Why else?" She mumbled, spraying stew across the table. Ari laughed. These new kids were getting weirder and weirder.
Later, Shadow and Dawne ran to art. People started whispering, pointing at the two girls. Shadow caught the word 'Pole' several times. Dawne snorted when she told her.
"Better get used to it. I'm 'freak', like Rondana" She said flatly. They burst through the doors into the art room. A tall, female teacher looked up from a sketchbook at her desk. Her hair was messy and shoulder length. Her clothes were covered in a paint spattered smock and she had warm, hazel eyes that glowed happily under large glasses.
"Well, hi there! This must be the new student!" She said cheerily. Shadow felt strangely caught up in her motherly warmth. Of course, Shadow didn't know what it was. She couldn't remember a lot about her mom.
"Hi, I'm Shadow" she said, introducing herself. The teacher stared at her.
"Shadow… I like it! I'm Miss D. Nice to meet you!" The teacher said, extending her hand. Shadow shook it. Miss D gestured to a chair next to an easel. Shadow uneasily sat down, glancing at Dawne. But she was scribbling away in a full-looking sketchbook and didn't pay attention to Shadow's word less cry for help. Shadow just so happened to be sitting two seats away from Trayos.
Please don't look at me, please don't look at me, please, please, please, PLEASE don't look at me! She thought desperately. Miss D spoke up, grabbing Shadow's attention from her thoughts.
"Alright students, today we have a new student!" Miss D announced proudly. Shadow shrunk deeper into her seat. I don't exist. I died when I ran into the pole. This is all a bad dream. I'm dead or sleeping. That's it. I'm sleeping, that's what it is.
"Shadow, say hello to the class" Miss D said happily. Color rose to Shadow's cheeks. The whole class was staring at her. Pole was thrown around several times.
"uh………. Hi?" Shadow said weakly. Dawne snickered. I'd better be dead , Shadow thought.
That was the worst chapter ever. I'm sick at home (Miss dedodakes, please tell me what our homework is) with a fever. As you can tell, Shadow has a crush on Trayos. I'm still adding in characters, so don't feel upset if yours wasn't here yet. It'll be in there sooner or later. I got a pet mousy yesterday! I need name ideas for the mouse, so submit those too.
