First day in school - Chapter 8

The alarms rings loudly, filling the entire upstairs with noise. I silent it and go back to sleep. Suddenly Misaki bursts into the and pours a jug of ice cold water on me. "Aaaaaah!" I say immediately getting up. "What did you do that for?"

"It was the best way to wake you up."

"Ever try asking me?" I say squeezing out the water from the corner of my pajama top. I skip a shower given Misaki already gave me one and get dressed for school. Wow, this is gonna be different no uniform. But I kind of liked my uniform back in England, it looked so sophisticated, we looked like young ladies and gentlemen. I'll definately miss England, but Japan's really nice when you get used to it. I wear a turquoise baby doll style top with some light wash skinny jeans and a white leather jacket.

Luckily me and Misaki at least got lockers together. We head off to our own classes. I take a seat at my desk and text my parents back home. The rest of the class are in three major groups, my eyes wander off to the group of girls mainly, but a few guys surrounding Ichigo, Haruki and Takeshi. Wow, those guys are really popular. I snap back into reality and give my full attention to my phone. My parents say I practically live on it but that's not true. Fine, if I'm not busy I spend some time on my phone, but I rarely get a chance. I mean which teen isn't on their phone nowadays, so I'm much better than them. I mean I know at school you should talk to your friends and mingle, ut I don't have a friend yet, and lets just say I'm not in a mood to socialise with any body in my homeroom. Hopefully my teaching class is much better!

"You alright?" Asks Haruki sitting at the desk beside me.

"Yeah, just saying hi to my parents, they're normally really busy, and I can barely talk to them." I reply.

"Isn't it like midnight there?"

"Yeah, it is, but they get back from work at like 10pm and I'm asleep then. They gonna crash so I won't be able to talk to them until tomorrow now."

"That's sad, you must really miss them."

"I did at first, but I kind of like the freedom. They didn't talk to me much when I was at home anyway so it's not much different. Things are kind of awkward, after my older sister left." I sigh. "Anyways, you seem popular with everybody, is there anyone you don't get along with?"

"I don't know, there may be someone who doesn't like me but they don't show it."

"You mean like Ichigo but the other way round?"

"Yeah, exactly!" He smiles and so do I.

"What are you talking about me?" Asks Ichy.

"Not much, just how you pretend you hate everyone and everything, when really deep down you feel something else!" I say.

"I do not!" He scowls then sits back down in his seat. The girls start surrounding him and asking him to go to places with him. Takeshi approaches us.

"What's up?" He says.

"Not much just talking to Haruki and annoying Ichigo." I say pointing at him.

"So you made any friends?"

"Not yet, people in this homeroom are too..." I'm at a loss for words and Haruki and Takeshi fill them in.

"Flirty?"

"Upbeat?"

"Yeah... And Just too fast, they keep talking and talking, they never shut up!" I sigh. The two look dazed by my words it seems. "Was it something I said? Oh... Too much?"

"Glad to hear your honest opinion." Says Haruki.

"Yeah.. What he said." Says Takeshi.

The bell rings and the teacher enters. Take and Haru sit in their seats and so does everyone else. Then we go to our classes, mine is a few rooms ahead like Haru and Take so we go together. After a boring hour of Physics and Latin, it's break! I catch up with Misaki and she gossips about some people.

"You got gossip already!" I say.

"Yeah duh! It's me, so Sakura and Yukio are dating, so is Riki and... I forgot her name, oh yeah, Amina."

"Yep, I have no idea who they are!"

"Did you know Ichigo, Haruki and Takeshi are like the most popular guys in our year! Other than Riki, Hiro and Taketo."

"Who are these people? Show me a pic!"

"I don't have any of them!"

"Well spy on them and get me one! Nah I'm just kidding, Check social media woman!"

"Alright! I'll check tonight and show you when we get home. Bye!"

"See ya!" I head of to class and turns out Haruki is my Chemistry partner yay! One because I know him so it's not so awkward. Two because he's smart so he'll do most of the practical work for me! Although I do like making explosions, but he's nice so I can just ask and he'll probably say yes.

I turn round and see a bunch of girls staring at me, so I face the front again. I sink down into my seat and try my best to ignore the girls stares. I officially get what Misaki meant by popular, huh. After a dreadful hour the class is over and I practically run to my next class.
