Enjoy!
As I walked into the building I couldn't help but feel ridiculous. After all, I was covered head to toe in an assortment of nail polish that had begun to dry - my hair was starting to get hard as if I had put 2 full bottles of hairspray all over it.
I really, really hope no one sees me... I thought as I turned down the hallway. Shit. There standing on the other side of the hallway was, of course, a boy. My appearance must have truly shocked him because he promptly spit out what he drinking only moments before.
"I..." I tried to say something but words would not come out of my mouth. Partially because if I opened my mouth nail polish would enter and partially because I really had no way of explaining this situation.
"Excuse me miss," he says and I suddenly actually realize he is there. He is dressed very nicely, in what appears to be Victorian - era styled clothing. I hadn't realize that I had been staring until his voice rang out again, "Miss...? Is there a reason you are covered in an assortment of colors? Is there anyplace that I need to take you to?" He said in a tone that showed he was quite confused and had absolutely no idea what to make of me.
"I...Wow, I must look... I don't know what to say, but I'm Ella and I'm new do you happen to know where the bathroom is?" He looks at me incredulously and a small smile forms on his face. He points to the bathrooms that are right next to me. I internally face palm and realize he must think I'm crazy and stupid... Well he's not wrong there. I don't really know how to react so I just start laughing - he looks quite amused, but startled at the same time. Great job Ella, great way to make a first impression. F.M.L and the universe!
"You seem like you could use some help," he starts while I think, You have no idea. He takes my hand and leads me into the boy's room.
"Ummm... I.." Why is he bringing me into the guy's room? I'm not a boy! What if someone fucking sees? With my luck they will! Of course me being me I don't protest, but instead say, "I have nothing else to wear." Ella, focus! Boy's Room! Boy's Room. I simply ignore the little voice in my head.
"Hold on one moment," he says and leaves. Did he just leave?! I really need to get the hell out of here! Before I can leave the door open and I turn to face him, but instead I'm staring at a very frightened freshman.
"I..."
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT, SOMEONE HELP ME, IT'S A MONSTER! A MONSTER IN THE BATHROOM! AND IT'S A FEMALE!" I facepalm again, why can't I have a normal life? I am about to leave the bathroom when the boy from the hallway walks in again.
"I found these in the school's lost and found, they're not all that great, but they will work for now." He hands me the pile of clothes a polka - dotted red and yellow shirt and a striped skirt. Wonderful. Just Great. I'll be that color - blind, weird new student. The year has only just commenced and everyone will think of me like this forever. Woohoo!
He goes to the paper - towel dispenser and takes a bunch out, then runs them under the water. "So, would you like to explain to me exactly what happened?" he asks sweetly as he commences scrubbing the paint from my face. I don't know why, but I tell him all about my first day "adventure" from the she - devil, to Ken, to Dr. Sarcasm, to the "dollar store incident". It seems like I can trust him, and he even laughs along to the different parts of the story as we attempt to clean my off.
After many, many paper towels, a good dunking in the bathroom sink, and a change into the clothes from the lost and found, I actually look presentable, fashion - police arrest worthy, but still presentable, it's not like I care what people think anyway.
"Thank you so much!" I say, trying to give one of my best smiles to the boy who has been listed in my book as: Savior.
He laughs, "It's really no problem Ella, by the way, I'm Lysander. If you need any help just ask. Though I'm not sure how well I'll be able to help you... I seem to have quite the terrible memory. I should probably return to class, but if by chance you happen to see a notebook, it's mine and I would really appreciate having it back. I'll see you around." He leaves.
Finally I met someone nice - I swear, I thought I would only meet the stupid people. I discreetly tried to leave the guy's bathroom without being seen, because seriously, how awkward would that be? I actually make it out without being seen - Yay! Maybe my luck has changed!
As I continue my journey down the hall I bump into a group of girls. They seem like your typical bitchy popular girls - the main girl seems to be the blonde. Cliche much? I think.
"Look girls, it's the newbie!" she says in that loud, pompous voice of hers. I am waiting for her to say something about my clothes, "What is she wearing, is she a color - blind clown or something." And there it is - FML! FML! Ugh! I, not being the type to stand there and take it, retort.
"Well, we can't all be as skinny as you," I say as sweetly as possible and she and her friends think I'm kissing up to them until I say, "Well of course we aren't - the world would be full of sluts! No wonder you're so skinny, you burn 26 calories for one minute of kissing! What, do you lose like 37,440 calories a day?" I ask all sassily, no way am I taking this BS.
"You bitch, you better watch out, I'm not usually this nice, but since you're new I'll let it slide," she and her friends walk away and they say just loud enough for me to hear, " I can't say we got lucky this year, first that dork and now this fashion senseless bitch." I try to tune them out and realize I am quite hungry - who knew my little "adventure" this morning would starve me?
I look at my watch; its just about 11:30, I look at my schedule and realize that I have lunch in about five minutes. Eh, I already missed five periods, whats five more minutes? I walk to the door that leads to the courtyard - I have to pass through the courtyard to get to the cafeteria. Yay! - Another chance to see Dr. SarcasmY (I have permanently labeled him as such, seeing as I don't actually know his real name)
Oh, and there he is; oh, yes, of course he's smirking at me. As I pass by him, his smirk grows wider and I say, "Oh shut the fuck up!"
He smugly replies, "I didn't say anything, Princess." Not in the mood to chat I continue walking until I reach the school building and walk in. I walk down the short hallway and reach the cafeteria. I don't really know where to sit so I just walk over to the last lunch table, all the way in the back in the dark corner - I think the druggy kids sit back here - I really, hope not - though it wouldn't be that bad... Just kidding... Maybe...
I go up and buy my lunch from the lunch lady, I hand her a twenty and don't ask for change. I'm not in the mood to talk to people. The cafeteria has mysteriously filled up completely and as I'm walking back to my seat I trip over a discarded backpack and my tray goes flying... A high - pitched scream fills the air - Oh, Shit, please no, anyone but her, please, for the love of God - save , me! A macaroni and cheese covered Amber gets up from her seat just as I stand up and she is really pissed.
" You BITCH!" She screams and throws her drink at me and it narrowly misses my head as I duck, Who knew she had such wonderful aim? I think
"What the Fuck, who fucking threw this?" A jock gets up from behind me covered in Amber's green tea. What are we, in some sort of cliched movie, wait... if that's the case!
"FOOD FIGHT!" I hear someone yell. I duck for the shelter of the table. Holy shit, I just got cleaned up?! Various foods begin to fly through the room: waffles, chili, mashed potatoes, juice, milk, and a lot of other stuff. As I attempt to crawl to the doors I see another girl under the table I just crawled under. She had orange hair tied in a side braid and a purple t - shirt.
"Hi," I say. "Fancy meeting you here, I'm Ella," I say fortifying the unspoken truce that we just made.
"Hi," she says sweetly, "I'm Iris, you must be the new girl, its nice to meet you," She seems like a really nice person.
"So, what's a girl like you doing here?" I ask and she laughs. "Hey," I say, "we might as well team up and try and figure the best route out of here."
"Yes, that would be a great idea, I mean it's only the first day of school and I have a feeling Mrs. Addison won't be too happy with anyone." she says, we both feel cold shivers go up our spines at the thought of the she - devil. An question pops into my mind.
"You said 'mrs.' right?" I ask, she nods her head, "Who in their right mind would marry her?" Iris contemplates that for a second before bursting into laughter giving our position away to a boy covered in pudding and mashed potatoes walking by. Once he sees us, he grabs the nearest thing and tries to throw it. "Run for it!" we both get up and dash away but - SMASH! - A place of spaghetti hits me in the head and suddenly mashed potatoes hit my legs and a soda completely soaks me. I see the door and go for it.
Shit. That's the second time of been covered in something today and it's still morning, I think as I walk out the cafeteria doors. Suddenly I bump into somebody.
"Watch where you're going!" I say and look up to see who I've bumped into this time. It's Lysander.
He laughs and says, "You know you always seem to be covered in something every time I seem you." I can't help but crack a smile.
"As funny as it is for you, I would prefer not to be covered in different substances every time I see you." We both begin to laugh and that's why he ended up taking me into the guy's bathroom. Again. Deja vu much?
"I don't think that any of the clothing in the lost and found is very appealing so, here." He hands me his gym shirt and shorts, and I change into them. They are pretty big on me so I tie the shirt with a hair tie from my wrist and roll up the jeans.
"Thank you again Lysander," I say. We both exit the bathroom when I hear laughter from behind us and we both turn around. I roll my eyes.
And there he was, nice to see you Dr. Sarcasm, I just love seeing you...
Meanwhile, Lysander just seems amused and says, "Castiel..." Lysander just shakes his head, smiles, and laughs too.
"Jungs wird jungs" I mutter as I walk away from them down the hallway, as I turn the corner I hear Castiel say,
"So is she foreign or not?" and I smile to myself until I see Amber coming at me in a flurry seriously pissed covered in an assortment of all different food/drink products. She is about to slap me when Ken suddenly appears in front of me and is slapped in my place.
"Ugh! What is it with these newbies!? Stay the fuck away from me or you will regret bitch!" she says and walks back to her equally soaked friends.
When she leaves Ken turns to me, "Hey Ella, I was wondering if we could talk," he asks and adds, "please." I follow him out of the building and sitting on the front steps he said,
"Do you want a cookie?" he asks, and I take one (hey, I love cookies okay, they're super yummy, don't judge me, and Ken's are especially yummy, I shit you not), "So, Ella - I just wanted to say goodbye before I leave," he says, "I told my dad about Amber and the girls and he said that I was such a wimp for letting people do such a thing, so he's sending me to military school," he stood up, "You know Ella, you shouldn't look so sad all the time, Nicki wouldn't have wanted it that way." I felt a pang of sadness go through my heart when he said her name, but he continued on, "Anyway, I wanted to give you this teddy bear before I left and I promise I'll get stronger and come back again, see you Ella," he concluded. I stood up and gave him a hug before he turned around and got in the waiting car, driving away...
