A New Beginning: Chapter 5
Wednesday started out as any other day. Leroy rushed to get ready for school; Darren looked in the newspaper for any kind of job that would actually hire him; Alain ate three bowls of cereal; Cath accidentally relieved himself in his pants; Paul ran around like the devil he is; Aaron sat in the corner watching TV; Toby barked and left a little present in Darren's room; Kumi's father climbed in his car and headed for work; and Kumi got back from exercising and packed up for school.
Yes it was a calm day at the Takashi home, but sadly Kumi's day wasn't so lovely…
Ms. Suzuki stood before the rest of the class chattering away. "..Now please get out your journals and answer questions 48 to 62 using the notes you have took yesterday. For those of you who did not take part in taking notes, tough luck."
Most students groaned in disappointment. Kumi reached down for her book-bag and fished out her journal and a writing utensil.
Without warning, a boy with brown hair stepped into the room. He had a small Band-Aid on his elbow. Kumi recognized him as her secret crush.
"My deepest apology, ma'am, I am late." Tavon slightly bowed in respect. He was always a good student.
"Why, of course you are late. Just don't let it happen again, Mister Newman." Ms. Suzuki warned as he went to his seat which was three seats in front of Kumi. Michael Parker was in front of her and then Kyouju and Tavon. Michael was an orange haired baseball freak with cerulean eyes. Girls were all over him. He has a nerdy sister, whom Kenny likes, named Emily Parker.
Behind Kumi sat Jonathan McGregor, alias Johnny. He is a hot-headed jerk and is hated by most girls because of his malice. His red hair very much supports this fact. His lavender eyes are no different and hold mischief inside.
Kumi quickly took out a piece of scrap paper and wrote: Are you feeling better?
She folded it and passed it forward. Big mistake.
Kyouju saw it was for Tavon and tried to quickly pass it to his desk without Michael seeing. Since Kyouju was way too slow for the bored teen, the note was quickly snatched away from him.
No! Damn Michael, Kumi mentally swore.
Soon enough, after Michael read the note he raised his hand speedily and without waiting to be called on exclaimed, "Ms. Suzuki! Kumi is passing notes! I tried to stop her but she keeps doing it everyday! See look!"
Everyone saw the note flapping in the air and Kumi growled in embarrassment as everyone turned to her and snickered.
"Miss Takashi! How many times do I have to tell you the rules in this classroom before you obey! Detention!" Ms. Suzuki twirled around back to the board and continued the lesson, calling on Kumi many times.
Class finished and Kumi was on her way to her Physical Education class. She took her time getting there and changing. Three minuets tardy, Kumi ran out of the girls' locker room with her short hair in a high pony tail and her clothes pretty baggy but fitted nicely on her figure.
"Kumi." Mr. Thomas sighed.
"Yes coach!" She said cheerfully.
"Why are you tardy?"
"E-Excuse me?" Kumi said a little nervous.
The rest of the class heard this and all went silent as they turned their attention on the conversation.
"I said why you are late? You have been late for class for 4 weeks in a row. Only once were you on time! I'll have a talk with your parents and with the principle for detention!" Mr. Thomas said harshly clearly mad.
"WHAT!?" Kumi screeched. "B-but I already have detention! You- You can't do that!"
"Well I guess you will stay for double time. I'll add an extra few minuets for talking back like that."
Kumi narrowed her eyes. "I was tardy for all those days and you never said anything! You didn't even care. Now all of a sudden you are starting to punish me. Can't you give me a warning first!?"
"I did, in the beginning of the year. Were you late when I mentioned it? That's probably why you didn't know. Now take your seat and participate in the warm-ups. You need to exercise more. Girls aren't as strong as men; Hiwatari has proven that fact." Mr. Thomas said and continued taking attendance.
Hiwatari who was the only one not listening deeply to the little talk perked his head up when his name was mentioned. Many girls were glaring at him and guys smirking.
"Just because I am a girl doesn't mean I am weak! How many times do I have to say that? You'll see Mr. Thomas! I'll prove you wrong and I will surpass everyone in this class! I will beat all those boys without breaking a sweat! Then you'll regret judging every girl in this room! You men are ruthless assholes!" Kumi yelled, aggravated and stomped to where the rest of the girls were.
"It's okay Kumi. We all know you are so much better than those guys!" Hiromi said trying to cheer-up her friend whose pride has been pulled away.
"Well apparently, this guy doesn't…"
Class continued with Kumi glaring daggers at Mr. Thomas.
Half of the students were playing soccer, the other half waiting on the side for their turn to compete against the winner of the current round.
On Kumi's 'team' was Yuri, Hiromi, Michael, and Emily. Kai's team had Tavon, Mao, and two other random students, one named Sergei. His team was up against Marla's squad which consisted of Eddy and three others whose name was not known for Kumi
Kumi's eyes were fixed on Kai's non-stopping body. Her eyes spilt over with anger as she glared at him. Yuri felt tense and slowly came up to Kumi.
"Kumi? Are you okay?"
"No. Did you not hear what Mr. Thomas said!? You men are so much better than us girls. I wonder why you are even friends with me! Get away from me and leave me be!" Kumi sneered.
"Kumi, I don't think that way! You are the greatest girl I know! When it comes to sports you're the best! Stop thinking that way, baka!" Yuri yelled angrily trying to knock some sense into her.
Kumi sighed and looked up to Yuri. "Thanks, Yuri!"
"I'll help you prove that you aren't weak."
Kai's group won the game and the losing team retreated to wait against the school wall.
Kumi walked on the field right up to Kai. "You better watch out! I'm going to kick your sorry ass and you better not back down one bit. Give me all you got because I'm not going to be easy, that's for sure!" Kumi leaned in on Kai as she spoke with a deadly tone until her face was 2 inches away from his undying glare.
"Why are you so worried about being number one?" Kai spat.
"I want everyone to know that just because I am a girl that DOESN'T mean that I'm weak! Sexist sucks!"
Soon the game was in play after the Kickoff starting the first period of 12 minutes. Kumi swiftly passed the ball to Yuri who dribbled it down the field as Kumi ran ahead unseen by the rest of the players except for Kai who had a keen eye.
"Yuri!" Kumi called giving the signal.
Yuri abruptly kicked the ball. Unfortunately he kicked it at a wrong angle and was sent flying through the air but towards Kumi nonetheless.
Kumi was in a heading stance waiting for the soccer to come intact with her head but felt nothing. She opened her eyes to see that Kai volleyed the ball straight to a big guy with dirty blonde hair, Sergei. He was in a perfect position to trap the ball and kick it into the goal.
Kai's team shouted with victory as a point was given to them, excluding Kai who held a smirk on his face.
"None to One, Takashi." Kai hissed in her ear as he walked by.
Kumi was stunned. I lost? She growled and walked back to her position.
"Don't worry Kumi. We'll win the next play." Hiromi assured. Sure enough Kumi's team won. The lead was being tossed to and fro. At the end it was Kai's team who one with two points more than Kumi's.
Kumi sulked out of PE. Yuri, Hiromi, Mao, and Enrique all tried to cheer Kumi up till Lunch time.
"It's no use guys. Leave me alone. I need time to think on my own." Kumi walked ahead of everyone else.
"Do you think she will feel better tomorrow?" Hiromi asked.
Mao frowned. "We can only hope I hate seeing her upset."
"Don't look now, but we have company…" Yuri's eyes wondered behind to his left. Hanna and her 'friends' were walking with her.
"Oh no, I think someone told her about Kumi's bad mood." Mao gasped.
"Why does she pick on Kumi the most?" Yuri asked puzzled.
"I don't know. Rumor is that she is jealous of a few girls in school and would try to make their life a living hell." Hiromi explained. "But I don't think she could be jealous of Kumi, I mean a girl like Hanna has everything Kumi has and what she doesn't."
"If she isn't jealous of Kumi then she is dumber than I thought." Yuri stated simply.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing of your concerns," Yuri walked away briskly.
"Hey, like, you there. Do you, like, know where, like, Kai, like, is?" Hanna walked up to Kumi who was currently talking under her breath.
"Get lost, Hanna. I don't have time to deal with you and your pathetic gang." Kumi began to walk away until Giancarlo appeared in front of her.
"Hey are you okay? Mr. Thomas is kind of a racist at times but I am sure he didn't mean it." Giancarlo said.
"No, I am not fine, and he meant it completely. He is making my life so complicated. Who told you anyway?"
"Well… Kai told Takao who told Max who told Rei who told Hiromi who already knew so she told Kyouju and he told Emily who also knew and she talked about it with Mao who told me!" Giancarlo gave a goofy smile.
"Hey I know you! You are that weird, ugly loser who talked to me yesterday!" Hanna stepped forward glaring at him.
"Yes and I apologize for that inconvenience." Giancarlo curtseyed like a girl pretending to hold the rim of a dress.
"OH! So it is you!" Hoshi ran forward with admirable eyes. "Please, my name is Hoshi!"
Giancarlo eyed her figure in a perverted way and smiled bringing his eyes to her face. "Giancarlo Tornatore."
"Oh please do come and eat with us!" Hoshi tugged his arm towards their table in the cafeteria.
"What are you doing, Hoshi? I will not have a perverted freak sit at our table! He isn't even worth looking at. Don't touch him he might be filthy!" Hanna slapped her sisters hand that let go of Giancarlo's arm.
Kumi chuckled as she saw her friend being fought over by the two most horrible girls in school, kind of amusing.
As Kumi walked in the cafeteria, Ms. Suzuki was coming out with a tray in her hands. "Hello, Kumi. I anticipate seeing you in detention after school today." She smirked, "Good day."
Kumi's eye twitched with irritation. How evil could teachers be? Good day my ass. She practically lives to torment me so! I hope she gets fired soon…
OKAY! So finished one chapter, but I need serious help!! I dont know what to do for detention, on account I never had detention... So please tell me what you think or want to happen and lend some ideas! Thanks! - REVIEW please!!!!!
