Everybody was pretty excited the next day to meet the new student. But no one was more excited than Geo and his friends.
"Now everyone, I want you all to meet your new classmate", Mr. Shepar said. "Come on in, don't be shy."
The new kid entered the classroom. The kid was indeed mysterious, and kinda bit emo looking. It wore a red long sleeved vest with a hood, which was left opened only to revealed a black shirt, knee high pants and its face was covered with a black mask, covering both the eyes and half the face.
"Wow now that's what I call grand entrance", Jack commented.
Mr. Shepar didn't know what else to say. He was worried that the student was just that quiet, so he didn't bother asking about introducing itself.
"Well, then take your seat right next to Jack, the one with the black hair", he said
As the student went along, the others could tell that their teacher was a little relieved.
The day went on as if nothing happened; it feels like the new student didn't actually exist. On their dismissal time that afternoon, everyone took their chance to meet the new student.
Hi and welcome to Echo Ridge Elementary school, Luna greeted." My name is Luna Platz, class president of Class 5-A and the president of the student body council."
"I'm Bud Bison", Bud said.
"And I'm Zack Temple", Zack said also.
"And you are?" Luna asked.
The student stayed silent as if it didn't hear anything.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
Still silent.
"Are you even going to talk?" Luna was now feeling irritated.
"Ummm, Prez? I think you should stop", Bud said nervously.
"Why should I?"
"We could have sworn that we heard the student growl while you were talking", Zack continued. "I think were irritating our new classmate."
Without a word, the student took off in a flash.
"Well that's just rude", Luna exclaimed. "Leaving without permission."
"I think we better go", Zack said giving Bud a signal.
"I'm with ya."
Geo accidentally bumps into the new student as he was heading back to the classroom. The student's hood and mask feel off right after the bump.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you- "
He stops his words as he saw the gender of the student. The student was a girl, with long dark blue hair that almost seems black and red eyes. But she had her hand covered half of her face.
"Don't tell anybody about this", she said to him darkly as she grabbed him by the neck. "Nobody should know too much about me."
"Why is that?"
"That's none of your business."
She puts her mask back on and her hood back up, but before she left she said to him "If you want to satisfy your curiosity, I'll just tell you my name. It's Keira, Keira Noctivagus. I'll trust the both of you won't spill it out."
"Both?"
"You and that kid who went by the name Jack."
As she turned to leave, Geo wondered why she chose only Jack and him to know her name.
"She's a big mystery isn't she?"
The voice belonged to Mega, who was nearby watching the whole scene. "So, are you gonna keep her name a secret?"
"I suppose so", he said uncertainly.
"What about the prez and the others."
"They won't know about it unless someone else told them. So I better keep quite."
"That's my boy!"
Back at the classroom, they found Jack sitting in his desk all alone. Luna and the others had left the classroom a few minutes earlier.
"Geo, we need to talk", Jack said when he took notice of him.
"What is it?"
"It's about the new kid."
"Yes I know, she told me her name but-"
"That's not it doofus, it's about her being too silent."
"What about it?"
"I think she's hiding something from us, she's very suspicious. Let's meet her tomorrow at the school roof. Don't worry, I invited her."
"Are you sure about this? What if someone sees us?"
"I got it covered." Then he left.
"Hey kid, I have a bad feeling about this", Mega said in a warning way.
"Me too Mega. Let's be cautious"
