Mwahahahahahahahahaha…*sigh* I had a really boring day and hopefully it doesn't show in my story. I thank PurityDove00 for the love and plead her to continue her story. Anyways! Chappy two!
I groggily wake up and go through the usual routine. Deciding on rubbing some stuff in Ambers face, I dress in a highly popular, but impossible to get, shirt. It isn't my favorite but damn! It's the most comfortable thing ever! The shirt is made out of a stronger, silk-like material and is basically a thick strapped tank top. Mine is a navy blue and is actually good looking on me even though my hair is red. I throw on some ashy red boot cut jeans. Awa wears a hang-off-the-shoulder yellow T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I get my bass guitar ready and Awa grabs her drumsticks for we have music today and rock is allowed! I hitch up the motorcycle, feed the dog, and we head to school. Today was a little cooler so I grabbed my black coat. Think of Castiel's but short sleeved. When we arrive I park in a random spot and we both head into the school to drop off our helmets and my guitar. The lockers are that big! On our way back outside we stumble upon the principal, a plump woman who annoys me with her little dog.
"Oh there you two are! You two need to sign up for clubs! There's only the basketball and gardening club left so which one?" I stare at her till I process what she just said. She talks faster than I can think!
"Basketball for us both please." She nods and we walk out, intent on escaping that woman. I look at the schedule she gave us for it and notice we have one after school today. I should tell Ryu. Reading my mind, Awa points out Ryu, who is surrounded by Amber and those other two, whom I don't even bother to remember names for. We walk up and Amber steps in front of me.
"Back off he's mine!" Awa and I burst out laughing; Awa is even on the ground. A group forms and I wipe a tear away, ignoring Awa whom is still dying on the ground. I look at Ryu who is chuckling.
"Hey bro we have basketball after school! Just wanted to give you a heads up so you don't worry that we're late getting home!" quite a few people gasp and Amber screeches in shock. Ryu walks over to Awa and she jumps on his back.
"Good to know now get off Awa and you two know if Ri has anything on?" Ryu uses Yuri's nickname for it seems that Yuri is what lesbian books are called here so we call her Ri in public.
"She has dance at 4:30 and school ends at 3:00 so we'll be home cooking by the time you're home." He nods and I hear another scream, but this one from Iris.
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT SHIRT? THERE ARE ONLY THIRTEEN MADE AND ONLY ONE BLUE ONE! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?" I point at Awa, who giggles.
"Her cousin who lives in England, her mom created the shirt and we both got one as a Christmas gift!" Again, gasps and Amber even faints. Laughing I walk towards Castiel, whom is clapping sarcastically. I bow childishly.
"Thank you for the applause!" He grins and I sit down beside him, put on my IPod to Winged Skulls and hand him an ear bud. He takes it and we listen to it till the bell. Groaning I stand up to leave after wrapping up my IPod and look over at Castiel. "Gotta go. You going to skip or are you going to your class?" He smirks and stands.
"I got music today so I guess I'll go to one or two of my classes, though I hate history." I smirk and on the way in tell him about my teacher in grade 7 whom loved history and, for Halloween, told us about old execution and torture methods.
"She was the best teacher I ever had! She always had rants about certain topics that were great!" Eventually, I convince him to go to history, since we have it together, as long as we skip algebra.
In history, the teacher drones about World War 2 but skips all gruesome details. Bored, I raise my hand.
"Yes?" The class looks over and I smile.
"May I tell some more interesting facts about World War 2?" Sneering, the teacher gives me the right away. I walk up to the front of the class and begin.
"In World War 2 the Jews were put into concentration camps. There, they would work like animals, they had holes in the ground as toilets and gruesome jobs such as clearing the corpses from the gas chambers then burning the dead, or barely alive prisoners. The children were immediately brought to the gas chambers. Once the war took a turn for the worse, Hitler, being obsessed with the slaughter of Jews, used his men and many resources to transport the Jews nearer to the center of Germany. This was his downfall, leading to victory and salvation for the Jewish." I had multiple notes on the board and people were frantically writing them down. The teacher is pale.
"Ms. Sentoki! You need not go into such violent and inhuman details! That was horrible!" I smile sadly and face the teacher.
"Exactly. The next generation need to learn the truth about war. It's horrible, just like you said, so this generation needs to learn about it properly, as to maybe stop one in the future." Some kids in the room applauded and I start to walk to my seat. I look over at Castiel and smirk. He does the same and I take my seat. Shakily, the teacher starts to go into more detail and starts telling more gruesome facts.
Lunch! Finally! I walk towards the tree I usually sit by when Castiel grabs my arm.
"Want me to show you something cool?" I nod and we head back into the school. He leads me to the roof! Not caring that he stole the keys, obviously, I plop onto the ground and start to eat a delicious, Korean meat bun, with BBQ pork in it. (These are really good! They have them at extra foods! Get them if you see them!) I also have rice with soya sauce and chocolate milk! Num num num! While eating we chat about crap till I hit a touchy topic.
"So…why do you hate Nath so much?" I use my nickname for Nathanial. Castiel scowls and starts to mutter insults under his breath. "Child-hood memories, just plain hate, girl." He scowls even more at girl. I hit it right on the head." Who was it?" He shakes his head.
"She left after the incident. I loved her you know, but Nat said she was wicked and cheated on me. I didn't believe him and then I found her and him together in the student council room and our friendship worsened from there, not long after, she moved and told me she was breaking up with me. I never saw her since." I shake my head. Oh Castiel, I know how you feel.
"Which one was up against the wall?" Castiel stares, confused. I roll my eyes.
"Nat" I freeze. Oh hell no.
"YOU IDIOT!" I slap him on the head. He growls and opens his mouth to speak when. "THE GIRL MADE A MOVE ON HIM! HE'S PROBABLY TELLING THE TRUTH! IF SHE ACTUALLY LOVED YOU THEN YOU WOULD BE HAVING A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP IDIOT!" He stares, shocked then brings his head down to his knees and starts to shake. Smooth Sen Smooth. I hug him.
"I-I loved her Sen! I d-didn't want to believe it b-but N-Nat was right!" I continue to hug him.
"She doesn't deserve you Cas. You are a great person and you can't let her break you. I know how you feel and you can't give up you know. Move on. Also, sorry. I didn't mean to be such a b**ch." He hugs back and we sit there for a while. Then, the bell rings and Castiel is back to his regular self, though I can tell he would like to talk later. "How about we go to the ice cream shop later? We can both bring our dogs and go for a walk in the park." He nods and I smile. I open the door to see Nathanial there, shocked. "How much did you hear?" Castiel looks shaken and I grab his hand behind our backs.
"Everything. Cast, I want to apologize; I shouldn't have held a grudge against you and should have thought about your feelings in the situation. Sentoki is right, she jumped me and I apologize for that too." Castiel looks away.
"It's alright, sorry for the grudge too." I smirk.
"Now you two don't be getting all buddy-to-buddy at school okay? People will freak. I would try to slowly get to better terms outside of school then maybe try in school?" the both chuckle and I tilt my head, confused.
"We won't be becoming friends in school, outside, definitely, inside, no. too much damage to our reputations." I sigh, and chuckle, shaking my head.
"You guys and your pride." Suddenly, I realize we're late but calm down when I realize its algebra.
Nathanial leaves and Castiel and I head off to get our instruments. He seems surprised I play guitar and even more surprised when he sees it.
"Isn't that the Midnight Blood Fest?! That bass is the only of its kind and is owned by the bass guitarist for Winged Skulls niece!" I smirk. My bass is Midnight Blood Fest. From the sleek, black paint job to the red paint splatters. My uncle is bass guitarist to Winged Skulls. I listened to many of their songs before they were released.
"You know your guitars. The one you got is pretty rare itself! My uncle gave it to me when I was ten. I've practised ever since, so five good years! Now! Let's head to class!" Castiel pauses, dumbfounded till he runs to catch up.
In music, we have to play a slow, sad song and we are not to use the instrument we're best at. Another option is a love song but I got a better idea. When it's Cas's turn, he plays acoustic guitar instead of electric and the teacher allows it. Surprisingly, he plays a favorite love song of mine.
When I look into your eyes. It's like watching the night sky.
Or a beautiful sunrise. There's so much they hold.
And just like those old stars. I see that you've come so far.
To be right where you are. How old is your soul?
Well I won't give up, on, us.
Even if the skies get, rough.
I'm giving you all my love.
I'm stilling looking up.
'I Won't Give Up' By Jason Mraz
By the end the teacher is tearing up, and she, along with me and the rest give a huge applause. The rest of the people perform, with Awa performing 'The Creationist' By Kerli on piano. Finally, it's my turn. I go to the piano and start to play a very meaningful song to me.
The lights go out all around me. One last candle to keep out the night.
And then the darkness surrounds me. I know I'm alive but I feel like I've died.
And all that's left is to accept that it's over. My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made.
I try to keep warm, but I just grow colder. I feel like I'm slipping away.
After all this has passed, I still will remain.
After I've cried my last, they'll be beauty from pain.
Though it won't be today, someday I'll hope again.
And there'll be beauty from pain.
You will bring beauty from my pain.
'Beauty from Pain' By Superchick.
Not even half way through the teacher, and some other girls, are tearing up. Awa is crying silently while even some of the guys look sad. At the end of class a white haired, Victorian dressed guy walks up to me.
"Thank you for that beautiful performance. I am honored to have heard such an artist." I feel heat travel to my face. I hold out my hand.
"Nice to meet you. The name's Sentoki." He looks at my hand and I draw it back, seeing he's not a physical contact type of person.
"I apologize. My name is Lysander. Castiel has told me much about you." I look over at Cas. He turns away and is that a blush? No…
"I just told him about you and your guitar." I smirk.
"You had no time to tell him, unless it was in class." He blushes harder and, being the kind person I am, I change topics. "How do you guys know each other anyways?" Castiel explains they met a few years ago, and perform together a lot. Suddenly, Awa launches herself at Lysander, hugging him to the floor. Having already gotten used to the frequency of these attacks, Castiel joins me as we laugh at Awa's display. We laugh even harder once we see Lysander's bright red face. Castile chuckles.
"Wow Lys! That's the first time I've seen you blush!" Awa bounces up and we high five. Lysander stands up, brushing himself off.
End of the Day at Basketball
Awa and I walk into the gym in our New jerseys and shorts. We quickly meet up with Dajan, a tall guy with dark skin, dreadlocks and gold eyes. He's the captain of the team. We split up, with both me and Awa on one team and Dajan on the other. Starting the game, we play hard till we're tied. Castiel takes the ball and I move in front of him.
"Hope your ready Cas." He just smirks. Time to show him what short people can do. Using a move that surprisingly, Yuri made up, I bounce the basketball high and forwards. With Castiel watching the ball, I slide between his legs; I then gain control of the ball behind him. Going for a long shot, I shoot the ball. Awa catches it and dunks it! Our team cheers and we receive pats on the back from everyone there. After that, everyone goes to change and once out, we head outside only to be met by snow. Talking, we all head towards our respective vehicles and leave, on the way, Awa points out a friend of ours walking back. Her name is Cloe; she has long, spiky purple hair and green eyes. We ask her for a ride but she says no. Obviously, she doesn't like the idea of three people on one motorcycle. Cloe is the athlete of my friends so far, though when she isn't in a game, she is in fatty mode and won't do anything. We arrive home and begin cooking supper, well, I cook and Awa cleans Ryu's room, which in itself, is something of extreme bravery. Now, I'm in bed and thinking about tomorrow, wondering what excitement it will bring with the falling snow.
This was the longest chapter I've ever written! It's like two chapter smushed into one! Well, hope you'll forgive me for being late with this.
