Chapter three: Starting school
Ring! Ring! Ring
My alarm clock went off. I quickly ran to my bedside and turned if off.
''Whew.'' I said, as I went back to the bathroom. I fixed my hair in the mirror and sighed. ''I start school today.'' I shook my head. ''Happy feelings!'' I told myself. ''Happy feelings!''
As I went downstairs, my grandma looked at me and smiled.
''Leaving early Sora?'' She asked. ''It's only 6:50!''
I nodded. ''I know. I have to get there early to get a few stuff.''
Just then, my grandma got up and gave me a big hug. ''Oh, good luck today! High school will be wondrful!''
I hope so. I said.
''Are you still friends with Kairi and Riku?'' She asked.
I nodded. ''of course!'' I said picking up a apple. ''Kairi, she's bringing me to school!"
My grandma grew happy. ''Is she your girlfriend?''
I blushed. ''Uh...no grandma. Were just friends.'' before she could say any more, my cell phone rang. ''Hello?''
''Sora, we are outside!'' Kairi told me.
''Oh okay!'' I said shutting off my phone. ''Bye grandma!''
''Bye dear!'' She said as I slammed the door. ''Good luck today!''
Me and Kairi walked the shore. Riku always went there before school started. And sure enough, he was there.
''hey!'' Kairi called waving
Riku leaned his head up and raised a hand. ''Sora. Kairi.''
''Time to go.'' I said.
Riku glared at us. ''Already?''
Kairi nodded. ''What time did you think it was?''
''6:00!'' Riku said. He sighed, ''how far is the school?''
''Past the town.'' Kairi said sighing. ''it always gets full! we better hurry!''
''Okay.'' Riku leaped up. ''Let's go!''
As we walked through the town, I saw Mr. Wu's farm.
''Uh...just for a quick pointer.'' Riku said smirking. ''Does Mr. Wu have any kids?'' Riku asked Kairi.
Kairi shrugged. '' I think. He has three girls.''
Riku smiled grew bigger. ''Do they go to school?''
I nodded. ''yeah, Mary and Kary go to collage. His youngest goes to this school.'' I turn towards Kairi. ''Right Kai?''
Kairi smiled. ''Wow, Sora. How did you know?''
I laughed. ''Mr. Wu introduced me to them!'' I looked at my feet. ''They seemed pretty nice. And cute too.''
''Oh.'' Kairi said, her voice annoyed. ''Hmm.''
As we walked passed the food market, we saw big gates and a parking lot.
''This nice school.'' Riku commented. ''I wonder what kind of students are there''
Kairi sighed. ''it's kind of hard..'' She paused. ''Being a new student.''
''What do you mean?'' I asked Kairi.
''Well.'' She began. ''Since we are only 9th grade, the older grades usually pick on new 9th grader's.'' She looked at me. ''Be careful Sora. You too Riku.''
Riku smiled. ''Ehh, I'll be okay!''
Kairi looked at me. ''Sora?''
I nodded. ''Yeah, no problems! I'll be okay!''
Kairi smiled. ''Okay then.'' She turned towards the office. ''Let's get your class stuff.''
As soon as we stepped into the office, a lady at the desk looked up and smiled. ''Hello,'' She said. ''How may I help you?''
Kairi walked up to her and smiled. ''Um, this is Sora and Riku. new students.''
The lady grinned. ''Ohh welcome to Destiny high!" She shook our hands. ''Okay, wait here a moment.'' She got off her chair and went to her office.
''Uh..'' I said.
''She's the head office lady.'' Kairi told us. ''She helps all new students and stuff.''
I nodded and looked down at her name tag. It said in big dark letters, ''Mrs. Leah.''
Mrs. Leah finally got there. She was holding two papers. ''These are you classes.'' She said handing me and Riku's schedules.
''Oh.'' Riku said, reading every class he had. ''Art.'' He looked at me. ''What you got for 4th period?''
I scanned my schedule and sighed. ''Math.''
Riku laughed. ''Oh, what about your other classes?''
I scanned it again and finally saw. ''Oh, Band?''
''Ooh.'' Riku said, holding back a laugh. ''Did you choose that Mrs. Leah?''
Mrs. Leah shook her head. ''No, Mr. Renee, choses all classes for students.'' She lifted a finger. ''But, what I can tell you is, he picks your classes, depending on how well you did on the math and english CST.''
''Oh.'' I said. I must have done very good then.
''Anyway.'' Mrs. Leah said digging into her drawer. ''These are the bell schedule.''
Me and Riku glanced at it. All the classes were 1 hour and our break was 15 minutes. Then our lunch was 45 minutes.
Finally, Mrs. Leah handed us a planner. A purple planner that said the words, ''Destiny high'' in big letters.
''Cool.'' Riku commented. ''Nice color!''
Mrs. Leah nodded. ''Thank you.'' She glanced at Riku and me. ''If you have any questions ask me Okay?'' She stood up from her chair and smiled. ''Good luck, Sora and Riku!''
