Ch 5: School Day Jitters
Demi pov
Kira and I stood at the front of the room nervously as we waited for our teacher, Mr. Hanso ,arrive. The entire classroom burst into hushed murmurs as we had walked in. The room was large but packed to nearly capacity. Desks were set up pairs for group activities.
Usagi, Ami, And Makoto immediately introduced us to Minako finally granting me my long waited aha moment.
Mina and Serena could have been twins minus the hairstyle. While Serena's hair was in twin buns with ponytails cascading down and Minako's sides were pulled up into a large red bow.
Without warning Mr. Hanso walked in carrying his briefcase. He then scanned the room, taking attendance. When his eyes landed on Usagi his eyes nearly burst out of their sockets in disbelief.
"Your...your on time!" Mr. Hanso crowed.
The class burst into laughter. I shifted nervously on my feet. This was very awkward and very strange. Besides, Usagi couldn't always be late. Could she?
"Mr. Hanso?" Kira asked, "Are you okay?"
Mr. Hanso snapped his attention to us. He shuffled through piles of paper that he had just placed on his desk. Probably our records or whatever.
"I presume you two are the American students. Why don't you introduce yourselves to the class?"
Kira started by stepping forward. Her black hair was in a ponytail which swung as she waved.
"Hiya! My name is Kira Rayton and I am 15 years old. I am from Reading, Pennsylvania USA. I am currently staying with Rei Hino at the Cherry Hill Shrine. For fun I like to play soccer and read mythology. I am looking forward to my time in Japan."
I grinned at my new classmates. Usagi and the others gave me reassuring smiles from their groups of desks.
"My name is Demetria Hartland but I go by Demi for short. Like Kira I am 15 and from the same town. I am currently staying with Usagi and her family during my stay. I enjoy running and karate. I hope I will make lots of friends here."
There were two empty seats in the front side by side. Kira and I slid into the wooden desks once we were dismissed. The desks had a stack of books piled on top. Why didn't we realize those were for us?
"Please open your arithmetic books to page 137 and do the problems on that page on a separate sheet of paper to hand in. If you two girls need help ask a fellow classmate. Begin" Mr. Hanso instructed.
I flipped open the book in my desk and smirked. I did this math last year!
Out of curiosity I skimmed the book. Every bit of math in that darn book Kira and I had done in eighth grade algebra.
Kira seemed to have the same thought because after about 10 minutes we were both handing in our work. The rest of the class was either: A) making faces at their book
B) looked confused
C) was scrawling down answers clearly not understanding.
The only exception was Ami who wandered up about two minutes after Kira and I. She definitely was the school brainiac.
"How did you finish so fast?" Ami asked a puzzled expression as clear as day across her face.
"We learned exponentials in algebra last year." I whispered back.
I sat down and took a piece of paper out of my bag and began doodling earth symbols all over my paper. I hoped Kira would notice because Earth symbols were my way of telling her I had a premotion. It was kind of like our own secret code. Apollo and Demeter were still confused with our "human tactics" but it made Kira and I feel like spies. What? A girl can dream .
I couldn't wait to tell her about my dream. After searching for my brother from my past life for so long who said I wouldn't be excited?
After nearly two years of searching I had just been looking in the wrong place. Endymion wasn't in America but in Japan!
'Oh Endymion. If only you had been on Earth. We could've been together as a family for all this time.' I thought sadly, gazing out the windows.
What is his life like? How old is he? Is he aware of his past, of me? Every question I could possible think of was swirling through my head. I vowed in my head that I would find my brother and protect him even if it cost me my life.
