Xqulth: So sorry, this was supposed to be up like two days ago but I had tickets to a Chicago Bears game (they lost D:) and then I did stuff around my house so this is my first opportunity to update the story. Please review my peeps, if you don't I don't know how I'm doing and I don't know what to fix or leave the same…
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
When I walked into my Lit class, I noticed that my normally empty table now had someone new. My eyes narrowed slightly, I was too tired to deal with anyone new right now. Sitting in my normal seat, I put some of my books in my cubbie (cabinet) and grabbed my Algebra and Sociology for later. The new kid stared at me for a minute confused but immediately stopped when Prof. P walked in.
You'll say, we've got nothing in common,
No common ground to start from,
And we're falling apart,
You'll say, the world has come between us,
Our lives have come between us,
Still I know you just don't care.
"Sir Arthur Conon Doyle," She began, "Does anyone recognize the name?"
My hand snapped up. From a young age, I had been obsessed with his stories, "Yes, Reika."
"Sir Arthur Conon Doyle is an Irish doctor and short story writer. His most famous works are of the infamous Sherlock Holmes mysteries."
"Very good, we will be reading many of these along with other classic stories such as Dracula by Bram Stocker and Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. While I pass out these books, Reika, could you please explain things to Mr. McIntire?"
"Sure," I said, "But Professor, I already have copies of all of those books." She nodded and I sighed,
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it."
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got."
"I'm Drake McIntire." The new kid said and I turned to him,
"Reika Scott."
"So-," He started but I cut him off,
"There's a cabinet (cubbie) underneath your spot on the table. You can keep your stuff in there. Since this is your first hour, this is also your homeroom. The door is always unlocked so you can come in here whenever you want." He nodded and for the first time since I walked in here, I noticed that he had gold eyes and floppy brown hair that wasn't long enough to be in his eyes but wasn't that short either. He had it spiked slightly and it looked like he just gelled it when he got up and walked to class. I took out a can of my Mountain Dew while he asked,
"Are there any locks?" He actually seemed worried about thievery,
I snorted, "Are you kidding me? You steal something here and the Vamps automatically know. I'd hate to see what would happen if someone actually stole something. Now that would be interesting." I said with a laugh. Our conversation ended as Prof. P continued with today's lesson.
I see you, the only one who knew me,
And now your eyes see through me,
I guess I was wrong,
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over,
When so much is left undone.
o.o.o.o
As the bell rang, Prof. P looked at me, "Reika, will you show him to his next class?"
I sighed, "Sure." Turning to Drake, I asked, "What's your next class?"
"Ahh…looks like Algebra II and then Vampyre Sociology 201." I furrowed my eyebrows and snatched the piece of paper from him. Sure enough, someone out there hates me. His schedule was the exact same as mine with one exception: where I had band, he had taekwondo. I'd hand him over to Stevie Rae for that one. Looking up, I realized that he wasn't by me anymore. I spun around. Drake was back down the hallway staring at me. I rolled my eyes,
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it."
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we've got."
"Are you coming?"
He seemed to hesitate in thought and then he ran to catch up with me, "So how is this Professor Neferet?"
I rolled my eyes again (this time at the name) and took a drink from my pop before answering, "Well, according to my friends, I am too bias to answer that question."
"How?"
"I'm not exactly sure." We walked into Neferet's room and I took my seat at the back of said room. Neferet had stopped Drake to talk to him. She then pointed towards me and I groaned, throwing my head onto the desk. When he sat down, I heard him say,
"I have a feeling that you're not getting rid of me anytime soon." I could hear the smirk in his voice and I groaned again, no doubt Dragon would partner him with me so I could teach him the basics.
You'll say, that we've got nothin in common,
No common ground to start from,
And we're falling apart,
You'll say the world has come between us,
Our lives have come between us,
Still I know you just don't care.
"You sound so enthused." He said sarcastically and I glanced up and saw he looked hurt. I grimaced again, I hated hurting people, it was generally against my nature.
"Hey, look, it's not that I don't like you, you seem like an okay person and everything. It's just, I don't like dealing or talking to new people this early. Actually, I don't like dealing with and talking to people in general this early." He seemed to brighten up a bit at that. I took another drink from my Mountain Dew as Neferet walked in. today was just a review day for what we learned in Algebra I and Geometry, Thank the Goddess.
o.o.o.o
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I, remember that film,
And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it,"
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got."
When the bell rang once again, drake went to get up but I pulled him back down. He looked at me funny but I just pulled out two Mountain Dews from my bag and handed him one,
"You'll need it, trust me, our next class is worse than Algebra." He looked at me weird again,
"Really? I rather liked sociology when I was in Chicago." He said and it was my turn to look at him weirdly.
"Why?" I asked him, completely dumbfounded.
He shrugged, "I always found it interesting…" He said trailing off as Neferet walked back in the room and told us to open our textbooks to page 42. As we did so, the only thought that registered in my mind was:
Ah hell
Oooooo
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I, remember that film,
And, as I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it,"
And I said, "Well that's, the one thing we got."
And I said, "What about 'Breakfast at Tiffany's?'"
She said, "I think I, remember that film,
