There was a silence that perused for quite a while.
Awkward. Lily thought wishing there was some way she could end the silence.
"Yah know," she started. "Alex doesn't sit well with me."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. It's too normal where as you, my friend, are not normal."
"And anyone is?"
"No. I know I shall call you Xander." Alex looks at her confused.
"You a Buffy fan?" He asks her.
"No… never really liked vampires."
"Well unless you have Gym next I will see you at lunch."
"Actually," She pauses. "I do have gym next."
"Oh."
"Lead the way Xander." Alex cringes. Lily laughs and shrugs. "Sorry I like it. It's sticking."
"Ow!"
"Lily are you okay?"
Lily sighs and looks up from her ankle that some one had just accidentally kicked really hard in an effort to get the soccer ball. "I guess so." Lily gets up then cringes. Mr. Groski walks over to her.
"Alex take Lily to the nurse I think she sprained her ankle."
"Yes sir." Alex goes over to Lily and puts her arm over his shoulder so that he can help her walk to the nurse's office.
"It looks like you've sprained it" Said the nurse as she examined Lily's ankle "Would you like me to wrap it for you?"
"No that's okay it only hurts a little could I just sit down or something?"
"Um… no I think you'd better start heading down to lunch. You want to get down there before the rush."
"Okay then." Lily had expected to be sent back to class."
"Here" Alex started "I'll show you the way."
As they walked down to the lunch room Lily spoke up. "Did I mention how much I hate Gym?"
"Yeah, once or twice."
"It really ticks me off that it's required all 4 years here. Not that I'm uncoordinated or anything but I just hate having to play sports when every one is yelling at you because you missed a pass or something stupid like that. It's like this school is out to get me."
They turned another corner and entered a door. The cafeteria was small comparatively to her last one, but then again the school was also much smaller than her last. Much to Alex's surprise Lily was no longer limping by the time they had entered the lunch room.
"How'd you do that?" He asked her surprised. "You were limping only seconds ago."
"What can I say? I'm a fast healer."
"Nobody heals that quickly." Lily shrugs.
"Let's get some lunch."
After lunch Lily checked her schedule.
"Okay don't tell me you have choir with me right now too."
Alex chuckled "No actually I have art. See you later." He said walking out the door to head to the art building.
And there he goes to create more master pieces. I hope that they aren't of werewolves this time cause that first one was eerily way too accurate.
Lily walked down to the basement where the band and choir rooms were.
Sure there's and art building but nothing for music? That's ridiculous.
Once Lily got there she sat down next to a shy seeming brunet.
"Hi I'm Lily Gandillion." She said trying to break tension "and you are?"
"I'm Misty, Misty Teague"
"You're kidding another Teague?"
"I assume you've met my older brother then."
"Yeah I have. He's in my 1st and 2nd period classes. He seems nice."
"He is most of the time but then again I do have to live with him."
"So what grade are you in?"
"I'm a freshman."
"So can you sing?"
"Of course. Why else would I be in Choir?"
"Well a lot of people join choir to learn."
"By that do you mean your self?"
"No. My mother taught me how to sing when I was little."
"Oh. How is she?"
"Um… dead"
"I'm sorry. How old were you when she died."
"I was seven. I still remember everything; the gun shots the fire, feeling so lost and helpless."
"What about your dad?"
"They killed him too."
"Who?" Lily just shrugged though she knew very well who.
Many songs and scales later class was over.
"Well I'm headed to Biology. See you later?" Asked Lily
"Definitely" Misty responded
Lily headed up the stairs wondering who she might meet in her next class.
Hopefully there aren't any more Teague's I have to worry about.
Lily finally found the Biology room and opened the door
"No way!"
Lily turned her head to see who was talking to her.
"Xander?" She exclaimed "How many classes can one person possibly have with you?"
"Apparently a lot."
She took a seat next to him seeing as he was the only real friend she had made so far.
Much later that class it was announced that they would have a project due next Monday on the structure of the organ system of their choice. They were also put into pairs of two.
Surprise, surprise, Lily got paired with Alex.
"Hey Lily, can you come over after school? We could work on the project. I bet you could stay for dinner. Were having chicken dumplings."
Great an evening with the only Teague I hate. His father.
But some how she couldn't get herself to say no.
"Sure I'd love to but I'd better call my foster parent first. Are you sure your parent's would be okay with me coming over?"
"Of course. My dad loves company. Unless of course you're a werewolf."
