Chapter 3: The First Day; Lunch Time
I exited the principal's office and waved goodbye to both Toadsworth and Vanilla. This is probably the best time of the entire school day. Sure a typical school day is only eight hours long, but this school is ten hours long each day, as lunch lasts as long as an entire class block.
One really cool thing about lunch time is that the whole school was your cafeteria. Anyone could eat and chat anywhere in the school... Which also sucked because now I had to search the entire school for my good, newfound buddy, Yorkie.
Only a few short minutes had passed by and somehow my search took me outside. I still could not spot anybody. I stopped to think that perhaps they were at the football field. Yorkie does, after all, like sports and I would assume she was going to be around here somewhere. Michael would also most likely be with them too, hopefully he acquainted enough with her to actually want to be around Yorkie. However, if I know anything about my brother, he most likely did not, considering that he thinks he's some sort of loner.
Amidst all that pondering, I happened to stumble onto the football field. I checked around for them and found no one. This place was actually more deserted than I imagined it would be. Annoyed, I began to wonder where to look next. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard footsteps of someone coming closer and closer to me still. It sounded like angry stomping, too, and lots of it.
"Hello, loser."
Yorkie and Michael, surprisingly, were sitting in the cafeteria. Michael was busy drawing in a notebook while Yorkie bit into an apple and then just started staring into empty space.
"It's lunch time and my stupid brother can't even think to look inside the cafeteria," Michael said.
"You call your brother stupid?" Yorkie asked.
"Believe me, we call each other names all the time. Stupid is just mild. We have a very 'colorful' vocabulary when agitated." He smirked. "Good times."
Yorkie shifted a little in her seat. "But still, don't you ever wonder where he could be? Doesn't it worry you?"
Michael took a moment of his time to ponder the question. "No, not really. He can take of himself in school, at least."
Yorkie sighed, "You two sure have a unique brotherly bond." She took another bite of her apple. "Still, I hope he did not run into any more trouble."
The irony of it all.
Wario was indeed a troublemaker, because I was staring right in his face.
"So loser, are you ready to settle this mayo-to-mano?"
I was more than happy to! He has been getting on my nerves for a while now.
I wasn't expecting company to come along however. Two people (Rather a person and a... thing) appeared from behind the bleachers. One was a tall, near-skeletal person who sported a V-shaped, thin mustache. He wore gray overalls and a purple shirt. To top it all off, he wore a matching purple hat with an upside-down L on it. The other thing looked like a huge Piranha Plant with polka-dotted briefs on... Well, they looked like briefs.
Wario grinned. "Meet my gang: Waluigi and Petey Piranha. Guys, say hello to the biggest loser in the school."
Petey Piranha flapped his arms and started roaring something unintelligibly, I couldn't tell honestly. Waluigi snickered. "Why waste time saying hello to the loser if we could just rough him up right now?"
Wario laughed. "That's a great idea, as always! I always have great ideas!"
"But I thought of it!"
"Stop whining Waluigi and let's rough the loser up!" Ignoring Waluigi's grumbles of defeat, the gang stepped forward and I stepped backwards. I don't know what he calls it, but this is definitely not what I call 'mayo-to-mano.' This was going to be rough on my part.
Out of nowhere, a water balloon comes crashing down on Wario, knocking him down.
"Grrr... Who did that?!"
The response he received was a shower of water balloons raining down on him and his gang.
"Aw shucks, this is dry-clean only," Waluigi exclaimed.
"Just move it already," Wario bellowed. "I'll get you next time loser!" The gang quickly retreated from the raining water balloon assault.
I stretched, feeling pretty good that I wasn't going to get clobbered today.
"Thank you," I shouted to whoever helped me out the little pickle I was in.
"No problem." From the bushes appeared two figures. One of them I easily recognized as the Pokemon: a Bayleef. The other one looked like a white tiger with a scorpion's tail. She was also a little big-eyed and wore pink boots.
"And who, may I ask, are my heroes?" I asked playfully.
The Bayleef Pokemon smiled. "Well, my name is Ace and this is my good friend, Sheri."
I spent some of my lunch block befriending with Sheri and Ace. Ace is quick-tempered and likes to listen to Guilty Gear OST on his Ipod. He is, however, very friendly. Sheri also has a temper, but not as much of a temper as Ace. She is also a very determined girl who is able to stand her ground against bullies. Like Yorkie, they are both very accomplished writers: "Birdo's Beautiful B'Day Surprise" is one of Sheri's best, and "Mario's Red Hot Rumble" is one of Ace's most interesting books.
My stomach growled. I had totally forgotten I hadn't eaten at all yet.
Sheri laughed. "Hungry much?"
Then Ace's stomach growled. "Very."
As we walked away from the field, I had to ask the question that was on my mind. "So how did you two know that Wario was going to cause a ruckus?"
Sheri looked at Ace questioningly. "Well, we didn't know at first."
"Really?"
Ace nodded. "Yep, a girl came up to us claiming that something was going to occur at the football field."
"She also mentioned bullies and I couldn't live with myself if I let bullies hurt more people," Sheri added.
"A girl?" My interest piqued a little. "What did she look like?"
"She had long dark brown hair and she looked about medium height. I couldn't tell you who she was since her eyes were covered by her hair. She did have a silver eye locket, if anything stood out from her."
The minute I heard about the locket, I knew exactly who they were talking about. It was the same girl that I saw in Vanilla's office and my heart, for some reason, began beating faster in my chest. Why do I always feel this way? I do not even know her name! It was proving very difficult completely rid myself of the feeling. I made a mental note to thank her the next time I saw her; for now, food is calling me.
Perhaps, if I turned around, even for a brief moment, I could have thanked her as she just observed us walking off.
"...And so I said, Get a room!" Instantly, everyone around the lunch table, which only included Yorkie and Michael, burst into laughter.
"Finally found you two." The two of them looked up to the direction of the noise and found it to be my voice, along with my two buddies: Sheri and Ace.
"Finally Chris," Michael exclaimed. "Decided to make some new friends, eh?"
So, for the rest of lunch, Yorkie and Michael became acquainted with Sheri and Ace.
Then, of course, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch time. My next class is Biology I. Fortunately, Sheri, Ace, Yorkie, and Michael had the same class too.
I may or may not need everyone's old profile again. For the most part, I can gather enough information about everyone from the story; however, it would probably be beneficial if I had something more to go off from.
Anyway, another chapter done. Going to work on the next. Ciao! :P
