I couldn't believe this…of all the classes I could've been in, why did it have to be this one…where I was the only girl? Today just wasn't my day… glumly, I made my way over to a table far from all the boys, and sat down, quickly laying my head down.
"Why are you all the way over here by yourself?" The voice scared me, causing me to shoot up,. I came face to face with Sora.
"Oh, hi Sora." I said, grinning happily at my friend.
"Yea, hi…now, why are you all the way over here, by yourself, when you could be over there with me, Tidus, and Roxas?" Sora said, gesturing over to the other two, who were waving at me with grinning faces.
"Oh." was all I said. I grabbed my things and made my way back over to the group of kids, when I noticed another girl. She was that girl in my music class with the pink ribbon. I noted that she was sitting by herself, and I made my way over to her.
"Um, hi." She looked up from the table to see me waving at her. " Um, mind if I sit here?"
She smiled happily. "No, not at all. Go ahead!" She moved some of her things over to make room for my mine.
"Thank you-" I stopped, trying to remember her name.
"Aerith." she said, a welcoming smile on her face.
"Nice to meet you, Aerith. I'm Haley."
Most of the class period, we chatted away, talking about random things. Apparently, her mother owns the local flower shop. Besides talking to Aerith the entire period, I noticed that Axel, was once again, in my last class of the day too. And I swear, out of the corner of my eye, while he was talking with his buddies, he was looking at me.
And finally, the bell for the end of the day rang, and everyone ran out of the library, including Aerith, who shouted a 'see you later!' to me as she left, leaving me alone. My brother had gone on ahead with his friends, going god knows where, probably leaving me to walk home alone.
Sometimes he could be a real jerk.
"Mom, I'm home!" I shouted upon my entrance into our house, throwing my backpack down by the stairs.
"Hey, panda-bear! How was the first day?" My mom asked as I entered the kitchen.
Yes, panda-bear. Look, it's a long story, so just don't ask.
"Boring." I said, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl on the table, taking a bite into it.
"Make any friends?"
"Lots!" I stated, stretching my arms out to show what I meant, causing her to chuckle quietly.
"Good." I walked out and headed off upstairs. My mother shouting at me caused me to stop.
"Where's Squall?" She asked, glancing around to see if he had come in without her noticing.
"Probably somewhere with his friends." I shrugged my shoulders.
"You mean you walked home all alone?" Ah, the one thing I love about my mother is how caring she is.
"Don't worry so much, mom. I'm old enough to walk home by myself." I gave a reassuring to her, and continued my way up the stairs to my room.
Oh, was my brother in for it when he got home…
'So how were the rest of your classes?' Yuffie asked me. We had been chatting away over the phone for good hour.
"They were okay, I guess…" I said, staring out of my window at the street below. "My last period has only one other girl in it."
'Oh, that sucks! Who is it?'
"That girl, Aerith. She's pretty nice." I said.
'OH! Yea, Aerith has always been nice! You and her should get along just great. How old is your brother?' Yuffie asked, her voice sounding nervous. I smirked.
"Does somebody have a crush?" I asked, my smirk growing bigger as Yuffie stammered back.
'N-NO! I'm just curious!'
I laughed a little before answering. "He's 17. Let me tell 'ya though, he can be a real jerk-face." I said, making a face.
'Hmmm…interesting.'
"What do you-!" I was cut off mid sentence by aloud noise coming from next door. I knew I shouldn't have had my window open.
'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AT YOUR HOUSE?' Yuffie shouted over the phone.
"It's not at my house, it's going on at the one next-door!" I shouted back, closing my window. "Yuffie, can I call you later? I need to go do something."
We said our goodbyes, and I ran down stairs and saw my mom covering up her ears from the horrible sound that was coming from next door. Our dog, Missy, was whining, hiding under the coffee table. I walked out of the door, and headed next door to see who thought it was ok to ruin peoples days with the horrible sounds the were making. I walked into the neighbors driveway, and was almost blasted away from the noise, seeing as the garage door was open. And you will never believe who I saw….
Axel, from school, playing a guitar. There were several other kids inside, playing different instruments. There was one kid, with a mullet-Mohawk styled hairdo, a kid with bluish-purple type hairdo, his bangs covering one of his eyes, and a kid with freakishly weird pink hair.
This town was full of strange people.
When noticed I had come in, I walked over to the extension cord that seemed to be powering everything up, wincing from the awful noise. I grabbed it and pulled the main cord, and the sound died out, causing the four boys to look around confused.
"What the hell? What happened?" The boy with pink hair asked.
"Someone saved everyone's hearing from all that crap." I said, everyone turning around to face me. When Axel saw me, his confused face turned into an angry one.
"You! What do you mean crap! That is probably the best music you've ever heard in your life!"
I rolled my eyes at him. "More like the worst I've ever heard. I could hear it from my room! You made my own dog cry from the awfulness of it!"
"Why you-" He stopped mid-sentence when he saw me walking away and out of his garage. "Hey, where do you think you're going? We're not finished here!"
"I'm going home. I don't have time to stand and argue with someone that thinks it's ok to yell at a girl."
He didn't say anything else. Just watched me silently as I walked into my house.
It began to rain as I walked to school the next day. Sadly, I had no clue that it was going to, so I didn't even have an umbrella with me! When I walked into the school, Yuffie ran up to me.
"Hey, what's uuuuppppp…what the hell happened to you?" she asked, taking notice to my sopping wet state.
"Had no idea it was gonna start raining on the way. Didn't come prepared." I explained, wringing the water out of my hair. After that, I tried to open my locker. It wouldn't open. So Yuffie had to do it for me, and after I had gotten what I needed for class, I stormed off to first period angrily, and sopping wet.
When I entered the room and sat down, the first person to take in my appearance was Riku.
"Did you take a shower with your clothes on?" He asked, laughing a little, only to shut-up when I shot him a glare, followed by a sneeze.
"Stupid rain…" I muttered under my breath, taking the tissue that Yuffie had handed to me. Axel walked in as I blew my nose, plopping down into his seat in front of me, but not before sending me a look of amusement.
I really didn't like this boy.
The rest of my day seemed to grow worser and worse by the second. On my way to second period, I was knocked down and practically trampled to death by a whole bunch of students running down, and barely saved by Yuffie. I got yelled at for constantly sneezing by my history teacher. But English…was the worst.
Mrs. Bradshaw gave us a stupid vocab quiz. Right when I was finishing mine up, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Axel.
"Can I borrow a pencil?"
"No!" I shout whispered, continuing my work. I began to think that he'd given up, when I felt him poking my shoulder. I ignored it, but after five minutes, I couldn't take it.
"What. Do. You. Want?" I practically growled, finishing the last question. Before he could ask me again, I threw my pencil at Axel, and it hit him in the head. I walked up and turned my paper in, grabbing some tissues on my way back to my desk. I shivered from the air conditioner hitting my still mildly damp body. Stupid rain. Remember kiddies, safety first! Always carry a goddamn umbrella with you!
And so, this is where the trouble started. I began to sneeze, and sneeze, and sneeze. Axel had an amused look on his face, and when I sneezed one last time, he started to laugh quietly.
"Mr. Sinclair and Ms. Leonhart! I do not tolerate talking during tests!" Mrs. Bradshaw yelled, causing me to look back at her with a confused look, when I suddenly let out another sneeze that was extremely loud.
"Ah-CHOO!" And then, Axel began to roar with laughter, only adding on to Mrs. Bradshaw's anger.
"Detention. After school for both of you!" I stared at her in utter shock.
"But, Mrs. Bradshaw-" I began to protest, only to be cut off by her.
"Make it a week of after school detention!" I made a small, choked up shocked noise, and Axel's laughter stopped. He stood up.
"Hey, that's not fair! She wasn't even talking! You cant just-" Axel was cut off by Mrs. Bradshaw.
"Two weeks! Out of my room, now!" I didn't even move when she yelled at us to leave. Axel grabbed my things for me, and drug me out by my arm, slamming the door behind him. He handed me my things, before walking over and leaning against a row of lockers.
I slid down against a wall, and onto the floor, a loud and upset sigh escaping my mouth. "This has got to be the worst day in my life…" I mumbled quietly. "And it's only the second day of school too!"
This was probably the beginning of my problems.
A/N: Im sorry if this was really crappy, but i hope someone enjoyed it enough to give it a good review!
