Chapter 3: Notes

He stepped into the office to sign up for his classes. Ms. Clark left, apparently to busy to help a new student. As he approached the table a secretary asked him

"Are you Aiden Marks?"

"Yea."

"I have a note for you here from a Katie Miller. Just to confirm that you really are Aiden, what is the gender of Jack?"

"Umm, I believe she is a chick."

"Congratulations, you won a million dollars." She said with unenthusiastic sarcasm as she handed over the note.

He read it under his breath,

"Classes to sign up for (in order): Math, Science, English, (lunch) Social Studies, Poke Care, Battling?"

When he finished he got a locker number and combo. He deposited his stuff and headed to his first class. His friends must have chosen the classes with Aiden's newness in consideration as the math room was visible from his locker. He headed into the classroom in the middle of the lesson. He noticed Jed waving him over and Aiden took a seat behind him. The class was good to have as a first hour as the teacher wasn't incredibly strict but not to loose either. This was not the case for his other classes. He barely made it through his next two classes without dozing off. When lunch came Jed approached him at his locker.

"Enjoying your first days here?"

"You do you guys stay awake?"

"You get used to it I spose."

"Anyways, are you going to show me where the lunch room is or am I just going to starve?"

"Just follow me."

When they reached the lunch room he noticed the others sitting at a table. They weren't all that hard to spot as they were the only ones there. Aiden decided now would be a good time to talk about what happened earlier.

"Why did that blonde kid do that earlier?"

"You mean Tom? Well, we've kinda brushed him the wrong way a couple times and what you did before probably didn't help all that much." Katie said.

"Well, you might have fewer problems considering what I told the principal."

"It's us now and I've been meaning to ask you how that went." Jed said.

"Yea, I basically told him that he was doing that sort of thing to other people so he should stop for what's left of the year."

"I hope you're right," Katie said, "Anyways I have a question for you."

"Shoot.' Aiden said as he unwrapped a sandwich from his brown bag lunch.

"Why did you have to move?"

"Well, I suppose I owe this much to them for all they've done." He thought to himself.

"Well, originally I lived in the desert but a sandstorm hit our house. A friend of my dad's who lived here pretty much gave us everything we needed to live here."

"I never heard anything about a sandstorm recently, what was the name of the town?" Katie asked.

"There really never was a name considering I only knew five people that lived a mile or two away from us."

"Wow, then the city must be a big change for you huh?"

"Yea, the biggest city I'd ever been to was Dunesburg where we'd get our groceries."

"Hmm, never heard of it."

"Ha, I wouldn't doubt that but it was the closest thing on the map. Anyways, does anyone have tuna?"

"Yea, I do. Wanna trade?" Jed said.

"Sure, hope you don't mind peanut butter and chip."

"Umm…"

"It's pretty good."

"What the heck, I'll try it."

They traded sandwiches and everyone began eating. There was some talk between some Jed and Katie but Aiden wasn't listening. Suddenly he noticed Tom moving towards them alone. Aiden nudged Jed and called his attention to Tom. Jed then knocked on the table to gather everyone's attention and looked at Tom and the others did the same. Seeing he was noticed he paused for a minute but then he gathered the courage to continue. Other people began to take notice to this too. He approached Aiden silently and handed him a note. He then walked back to his own table. He put the note in his pocket figuring he'd read it later.

A/N: I am now totally off my version on paper. The tuna comes from a story written by my friend Steven inspired by mine :P. Thanks to… no one yet so get to those reviews people! Spam, I am not putting the fight back in anytime soon. Who knows, mabye Tom will become a main charecter...
