Memory
Shifting the strap on my shoulder, I shook my head. Thursday…
Staring up at the prison that us kids call school, I inwardly groaned. School… Who the hell thought up school? I mean, what person in there right mind comes walking up and says "We all need to go to, I think we'll call it school, in order to get smart!" And then builds a place that looks oddly enough like a prison?! Who ever was the architect needs to get fired…or shot…or maybe both..
I mean honestly! A hospital has more color than this! No offence to any hospitals out there.
Shifting my book bag, again, I sighed.
Might as well get this over with I guess. The faster you get in school, the longer it is inside the school, and then you come out exhausted and tired loaded down with a thousand pounds of homework. Uhhhhhhh, wait a minute…….I don't think that's how it's supposed to work………..
Shaking the ridiculous, yet on-going thoughts from my head, I walked inside the building. It was large, and frankly, it wasn't as bad as it looked from the outside. Posters, signs, and art-work were littered along the walls giving them color. The base and brown painted bricks didn't look half as intimidating as of outside, and the office was right there as soon as you walked in. Talk about conveniently placed.
Walking inside the office, I stared around for a bit. It was definitely a larger office then at my old school. It was painted an inviting warm blue color, framed pictures neatly spaced across the expanse of its wall to give it a more homely look, and a potted miniature palm tree sat snugly in the far left corner of the room between the wall and the desk. It seemed nice…and welcoming…
Walking slowly up to the desk, I waited patiently for one of the people behind the desk, fingers tapping away at key boards with there eyes glued to the screens and or picking up a ringing telephone, to notice me.
One of the ladies, with wavy blonde hair to her shoulders and bright green eyes, glanced up and placed her hand over the receiver of the phone. "Hello there, can I help you? If you're late, you should go to the attendance office on the other side of the building hun."
Gee. How kind. Don't even let me say anything before you interrupt me. Smiling up at the tall blonde, I shook my head. "No ma'am. I'm not late, I need someone to show me to my first period class. I'm new to this school and-"
I winced at the sound that emitted from her throat. It was a cross between a squeal and a shriek, really, the sound should be illegal.
She slammed the phone down, a smile spreading across her face. "Oooooooooh! You are a cute one aren't you? And with such nice manners!" She said with a pointed glare over at a teenager who sat in a slouched position in one of the many chairs over on the right. Said teen just raised one hand and flipped her off with out even looking up.
A disgruntled and offended look crossed her face as she mumbled some obscenities under her breath.
You know, I didn't know staff were aloud to do that, curse I mean.
Turning her attention back to me, she flashed a toothy smile in my direction. "May I see your schedule?" She questioned. Fishing through my pockets I came up with a folded piece of paper and handed it to her. Green eyes glanced at it before handing it back. "Come, follow me."
I followed her out of the office and down many of the halls.
I won't lie and tell you that it was enjoyable walking with the over hyper secretary. I mean honestly, she really was a blonde. I have nothing against blondes, but really! She just would not shut up! So when I found myself standing in front of the classroom door, room 110, I couldn't help the sigh of relief that escaped my lips.
The blonde secretary just gave my shoulder a squeeze, wished me luck, and headed back to the main office.
Knocking on the door, I waited.
"Come in."
Turning the knob, I opened the door slightly before swinging it open to walk inside. The class room was large, and unlike the halls, was a washed green color. Yay! Look, look, Color!
Stepping nervously inside the classroom I smiled. "Ummmm, hi…."
"Ah, you must be the new kid I was supposed to get today." A man with shoulder length brown hair and kind brown eyes standing in the front of the class room said, facing me. "I'm Mr. Turner, most commonly referred to as Will, your new English teacher. It is a pleasure to meet you." Nodding he smiled and spun around to face the rest of the class. "Okay class, as you can see, we have a new student. Say hello new student."
A chorus of 'hello new student' rang through the room. Interesting…
Turning back to me, he made a gesture at the rest of the room. "Okay then, name, and what you like to do."
Standing in front of the class I smiled nervously. "O-okay, um, my name is Sora…"
Some girls giggled at my name. I hated when people did that. I knew Sora was most commonly used as a girls name, so what? It wasn't that surprising. Sora also meant sky. Foo on them.
"…and uh, I like to draw and play soccer." Kind of lame, but what else was I supposed to say?
Mr. Turner just smiled encouraging at me. "Anything else?"
I just shook my head timidly. I wasn't exactly the most out going person around people I didn't know…
"Alright then, you may go take the empty seat in the back next to Mr. Ookami. Please raise your hand Riku so Sora can see where, and who, you are."
I was a little surprised to hear the name of my new neighbor and even more surprised when I saw his silver hair and flashing aqua eyes when I made my way towards the raised hand. I smiled.
"So, you really are stalking me?" I asked jokingly, slipping into the desk next to his.
The silver haired teen flashed a cocky grin. "Soooo, you're admitting to calling me a stalker that day in the rain?"
Holding my hands up in a mock hurt I stared incredulously up at Riku. "I did no such thing."
After being told to be quiet a few times, Riku and I finally shut up and tried to pay attention to the first period class. In truth, it wasn't that bad. It was English class, and I think I like English class with this teacher. Will, what Riku insisted was what Mr. Turner preferred to be called, was pretty cool if you ask me.
I hung out with Riku for most of the morning, it turned out that I had most of my morning classes with the guy. I had first with him, obviously. I also had second with Riku, which was Gym with a man named Cid, who threatened that if I called him mister one more time he'd make me run the track because it made him feel old, as my teacher. The other morning class I had with him was third period, which was chemistry with a rather wacky and eccentric old man named Merlin as my teacher. After that he showed me where my fourth period class, Art with a very kind hearted brunette named Aerith as my teacher, was and I had to figure out where the lunch room was from there. Which is what I was currently trying to do.
Staring down the hall, I glared. I was having such a good time up until now. Weaving in and out through the crowds of people, who bumped and pushed and blocked my way, I sighed. I was assuming that the Lunch room was on the ground floor like my old school, it just made more sense to have it there. Trudging down the stairs, and into the hallway (they all looked the same to me), the bell rang.
Last minute stragglers were rushing into there classes and, unfortunately, I bumped into one of them. Or was it that they bumped into me? Whatever, it really didn't matter.
I was gripped by my shirt suddenly and slammed into the lockers. Wincing I stared up into the green eyes of the teen that held me. "Watch it punk!" He growled, his yes flashing dangerously.
And just as suddenly as I was slammed into the locker, I was dropped to the floor. Snarling the teen went turned, stalking away.
"Hey. You okay?"
Looking up again, I stared into the eyes of Riku. Nodding I winced. Touching my back gingerly I shook my head. "I think I'm going to feel that later…"
Grasping my hand with his, he pulled me up. "What's this? I feel like I've done this before…oh that's right, when I first met you out in the rain."
Dusting off my shirt and picking up the book bag that I had dropped, I Laughed and nodded. "Yeah, need to stop doing that. Winding up on the ground I mean."
"Come on, I'll bring you to lunch."
Nodding I followed Riku down the hall.
Even with Riku there, I felt as if my good day was going to start spiraling down for the worse. The same feeling of dread washed over me, the same feeling I felt this morning when I originally looked up at the prison like structure of a school. Glancing up at Riku I just shook my head, I was being ridiculous.
"So, can you tell me what exactly you did to gain Seifer as an enemy on your first day of school?"
I sighed. Again. "Yeah, I bumped into him. Hey wait, you know that guy?"
Riku nodded. "Yeah. Seifer and I used to be really good friends but…something happened a couple of years back and he's been in a mood ever since. The only person that ever really stood up to Seifer, besides myself, was Leon and he graduated last year. Well, just steer clear of him and his goons and you'll be all right."
I nodded. Dread, it was building up inside. But I didn't voice my thoughts. Just like Riku and his eyes, I felt as if I had heard that name before. Like I knew it. Maybe I had, but…the feeling that gripped me was not the same as his. Not the same at all.
Riku: well that was different….
ShadowedDarkness: but of course!! I'M typing it. Oh, and Ookami, I believe, means wolf. I just liked the way it sounded…Riku Ookami….XD… Allllllriiiiighty then. Let's hand out special thanks!!
