Hello Everyone! Abby writing here! Thank you so much for liking my story!
fridix95, Thank you so much for commenting! And I also thank you for fixing my spanish! I dont speak foreign languages that well, so all mistakes would have to be Google Translates fault. lol.
BlazinFantasiex3, Thank you very much! And the love attack? You must be very good at predicting things. Yes, this is a romance, so there is no secret that the "love attack" is certainly going to come, but I'm still unsure when. Just wait and see. :)
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to the assembly today." said Mrs Butterscotch in the center of the stage. The school fell silent at this announcement and started paying attention. Muchdifferent than last Thursday, when everyone was practically asleep. The whole audience was buzzing with exitement about this. "I have gathered you all here today to introduce our new transfer students. Now, they have all traveled a long way to be here, so treat them with kindness and respect. I will have their guides introduce them for us, and then let them speak for themselves.." She exclaimed as she set the microphone on the stand and backed away from the center of the stage. The school applauded and fell silent again as Whitney and her three seniors made their way towards the center of the stage.
"Hi everyone! I'm Whitney, and I'll be showing the seniors around the school." she said self-consciously and backed up so the three seniors would be in the middle instead of her.
"Yea! My name is Gilbert! I'm from Germany!" He said with a smile that implied 'look how awesome I am,' and behind him, Francis came closer to the center, too.
"Bonjour! My name is Francis! I'm from France!" He said with a confident smile while doing a hair flip and pulling a rose out of nowhere, smelling it. "Nice to meet you all." At this, some girls in the front row swooned. It also caught the attention of the French club, who began mumering to themselves. Mrs. Butterscotch looked at him like he was insane. Then, Antonio moved closer to the circle as well, and said his opening too.
"Hola! My name is Antonio! I'm from Spain!" He said with a smile as he caught the attention of the Spanish club in the far left corner, who all broke out in large grins.
Next was my turn. Oh, I hope I dont mess this up for everyone... Whitney and the seniors then left the front of the stage and headed towards the back, where the rest of us were. As she passed me, she stumbled and tripped slightly and was about to fall when Francis and Antonio both caught her at once. She was about to apologize, but they each gave her a look that said 'it's okay." She got back on her balance again and gave me a 'good luck' glance and stood next to Cassi. I then walked forward with the two juniors at my side and headed torwards the center of the stage.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Abby, and I'll be guiding the juniors around the school for the next couple of days." I managed to choke out. I then awkwardly left the middle of the stage and let Arthur go first. I flushed slightly as he looked my way and gave me an encouraging look.
"Hello. My name is Arthur. I'm from England." He said a little uncomfortably, but still pulled it off smoothly. A couple girls in the middle of the crowd stood up straighter to get a better look at him. His accent got every other girl's attention. I guess he'll have no problem making friends if he gets this nice of a reaction. He then moved back a little to give Wang more room to present himself.
"Nín hǎo! My name is Wang! I came from China!" he said with a grin that stretched from ear to ear. He seemed happy to be the center of everybody's attention, even if it was for a little while. He then shrank back by Arthur's side and we all started back torwards Whitney and Cassi. My hands were still shaking from being so nervous. I looked torward Cassi to see if she was nervous too. She looked so confused on what to do that she was shaking.
The three sophomores then headed towards the stage. Cassi hid behind Alfred and looked grateful that he was tall enough to hide behind. Once they got to the stage, there was a moment of awkward silence. Cassi then gave Alfred a little shove from behind and blushed like a maniac. Alfred got the hint though, and decided to help her out.
"Hello Everyone! My name is Alfred! The Hero of the World!" he said with a grin that lit up his whole face. "Cassi, a girl of sophomore year, will help show the two of us around," he gestured to Honda and himself, "I came from the United States by the way, but I moved here from Washington, D.C. I hope we all get along!" he said in a rush, like he had too much sugar this morning or something. He then backed up a little to give Honda more room in the center. He patted Cassi to warn her that he was moving. She followed in his shadows like the ninja she is.
"Kon'nichiwa. My name is Kiku Honda. But I would prefer it if you all called me Honda. I'm from Japan." He simply stated. The crowd was polite and clapped for the both of them, but the Anime fan group could be heard across the audience. Their claps were definently the hardest. I guess Honda will fit in this school too...
Then all three of them started walking towards the back of the stage, with Cassi still hiding from the eyes of the crowd. And as they retreated, Mrs. Butterscotch and her three freshman came up to the front of the stage and started their introductions. "Good morning students! I will be introducing this year's new freshman students!" she exclaimed with a pleasant grin. "First, this is Feliciano Vargas! He's a transfer student from Italy, and along with him is his twin brother, Lovino Vargas!" Then she moved aside so the crowd could get a better look at them.
"Ciao! I'm Feliciano! But everyone can just call me Feli." he said with a smile that made you smile with it.
"Hello. I'm Lovino. But everyone can just call me Lovi." Lovi mumbled in the microphone. It seemed that he didn't really want to be on stage right now...
"And finally," Exclaimed Mrs. Butterscotch. "This is Matthew. He's from Canada." she said as Matthew appeared behind her. He was probably there the whole time, but it was like he just appeared out of thin air! How are we gonna find him friends if he keeps doing that?
"Hello. I'm Matthew." he said in a very soft-spoken voice.
"Now what introductions are done, lets all go to first class, now shall we?" said Mrs. Butterscotch as she waved her hand, dismissing us all.
-Time Skip-
We were back in the councilor's room and were just handed everyone's new class schedules. It seemed that Mrs. Butterscotch put all the students who're in the same grade in the same classes with each other. Wang and Arthur had their mandatory classes together, while Francis, Antonio, and Gilbert shared the same classes too. Feli, Lovi, and Matthew were the same. They all seemed pretty content with this arrangement.
"Are all mandatory classes always in the morning, madame?" Francis asked Mrs. Butterscotch when he looked over everyone's schedules.
"No, but all the afternoon classes are full. And I had to put you all in fourth period Art because that seemed to be the one elective that had enough room for all of you. Mr. Flin was happy to get new students though, considering he only had about seven in his fourth period." She explained to Francis, as well as the rest of us.
"Wait. You mean they'll be in our art class? All of them?" Cassi asked, getting all excited by the thought of having her beloved art class getting filled with students. New students, nonetheless. "This is gonna be so much fun!"
"Everyone will be able to pick their own third period because I figured you'd want at least one class you chose yourself, right? And this way, you can all find friends who share the same interest as all of you." Mrs. Butterscotch continued as she looked around the room, smiling to herself. All of the transfers simply nodded, implying that they understood what she was saying and thought it was a nice idea. Mrs. Butterscotch then dismissed us and we all headed out into the hallway.
"Antonio, Gilbert, and Francis. Please follow me to the senior wing. What classes do you all have again? Oh. Science." she said as she looked down on the copy of their schedules.
"Science? Oh, so not awesome." Said Gilbert.
"Oh? You don't like science, Gilbert? Why not? It's such a fascinating subject. What science is it? I hope it's Chemistry." Said Francis in a low, seductive voice as they started walking with Whitney to the senior wing. I managed to catch a look at Whitney's face as he said this, and it was a mixture of shock and confusion...
"Alright then!" exclaimed Cassi. "Let's all head toward the sophomore wing then!" she then grabbed Honda and Alfred by the sleeve and practically dragged them as she started talking about art.
"...Well, I guess we better get going too." I finally said to Arthur and Wang. "The junior wing is just left of the main office, so if you try to remember that, you should be able to find your classes easily." I said when as we headed in that direction. "What class do you guys have first?"
"Algebra II." replied Wang. "I actually like math~aru. I find it easy to learn." he said with a smile. I guess he was trying to be friendly, so I helped him along.
"Yeah, but only if you actually pay attention to what the teacher's saying. What classroom do you guys have?"
"Room 414, and the teacher is called Mr. Kazits." said Arthur as he looked intently at the tiny piece of paper that had his classes on.
Wait a minute. Room 414? Mr. Kazits? ...THAT'S MY CLASS. "Uh, then I know EXACTLY where you guys are going. Because I have the same class as you..." I said a little awkward-like. Was this Mrs. Butterscotch's doing? What in the world would she gain from this? "Uhm, just to make sure, what's the second class you all have?"
"Physical Science with Mrs. Kreepa" Arthur and Wang both said at the same time.
Is this some kind of joke? Why do they have BOTH classes with me? "Well, I'm in that class too." I said, slightly frowning. I couldn't see why my counselor would want to pair both of them up with me. It makes no sense. What's gonna happen now?
"Does that disappoint you?" asked Arthur. I looked at the two of them. And for once, Wang's face wasn't in a smile, but looked more concerned and worried. Arthur looked like I just hit him in the head with a brick. I don't know why, but when Arthur looked like that, my stomach lurched. I suppressed the urge to kick myself.
"NO! No, of course not! It's just that, I don't know why Mrs. Butterscotch would do this, is all..." I said as we finally approached room 414. I knocked on the door, and Mr. Kazits answered.
"Hey, Abby! Mrs. Butterscotch told me you'd be a little late today, so I didn't mark you absent. And these must be the new transfer students! Well, hello! Nice to meet you!" said an old man, about in his late fifties, or young sixties. He's one of those math teachers that talk way too much instead of explaining things slowly like he should...
"Yeah. This is Arthur and Wang." I said as I gestured to them behind me. And by now, the whole class' attention was on us. Multiple girls broke out in grins as they laid eyes on Arthur, and it seemed Wang had a few fans as well. They all looked psyched that something new was finally happening at our school.
"Ah, yes. Arthur Kirkland, and Wang Yao, correct? You'll be sitting up front until I find you new seats..." he continued as the two boys followed him to and pulled up a couple of chairs to sit in. I then went to my seat, which was exactly in the middle of the classroom. I got a couple of curious glances as I walked to my seat, and a couple of jealous 'I wish I were you right now' glances from the girls in my class. Oh boy, this is gonna be fun. I thought as I gave them the 'what are you going to do about it?' look.
