Chapter 2
I told myself just two classes until I see Olette, but I knew it would be awhile. My first class was math, which I'm surprising good at. I felt that all eyes were glued on me. I glanced over my shoulder. I knew I heard whispering, and by none other than the popular Barbie brats. The girls who cared about nothing more than having a boyfriend and making lower class people's life miserable. One girl with honey colored hair with brown eyes giggled a comment made by a girl with black hair. The black hair one probably was a year or so older than me, but with the body she had I bet she could pass as a woman in college. Then there was a girl with orange hair with a perfect smile. I never let people's words get me down, but this is the first day, they can't know me. I do my best to ignore them, and when the bell rings, I hurry out of class. I head to my locker, and gather my thing for my geography class. Mr. Bates, our geography teacher, is very strict about tardiness. Fortunate for me, I was the first in the class. I choose a desk near the front, but not clear in the front. We were half way through the class, when the door shot open. In came a girl with light blonde hair and blue eyes. She let out sigh and pulled a piece of hair out of her face. Mr. Bates looked like he was about to explode. The blonde slid into her seat, and pulled out her books. Mr. Bates walked slowly to her desk, soon he was right in front of it. He cleared his throat, "Namine," he sounded calm. Oops, spoke to soon. " WHERE WERE YOU!" The blonde or Namine looked terrified, " I'm sorry Mr. Bates. You see I-" Mr. Bates shook his head, "This is your last warning." She nodded, as he made his way to his desk. He gave us some homework, which I finished in class, so we had 5 minutes of free time. Namine was sitting next to me, she had just gotten done. I could tell she was watching my every movement. Our eyes meet. We stare at each other for the longest of time. Her eyes don't leave mine, "Hi I'm Namine." I see her hand reach over, and I move mine to meet hers. I realize I haven't told her my name, "I'm Kairi, I'm new." Namine nods her head, "Yeah I know. Olette texted me." Wow, I never had anyone tell their friends about me. I think I really like this school. "So," I break the silence. " Who are those girls back there?" Namine rolls her eyes, "I guess I might as well tell you." She takes in a deep breath, "Ok this might be long. Do you see the one with wavy honey blonde hair?" I glance over my shoulder and nod. "We'll, her name is Layla Criswell. She is, has been, and will be the most popular girl in our school." I kind of figured. Layla has all the popular girl factors. Nice hair. Pretty face. Clear skin. Namine sighs, " Me and her used to be best friends in middle school and before that too. Then our first year of high school came. Layla was only interest in making herself more pretty and popular. One day she was my best friend, and the next day she was a completely different person. She only cares about herself." I nod. Of course they only care about themselves. That's like the number one rule of being popular. "What about the two others?" Namine smiles, "Oh yeah, the ginger is named KatieBell Miller. She prefers to be called Kate, but mostly every adult calls her by her real name. It kills her to be called KatieBell." I tap my chin, "Why?" Namine shrugs. Maybe it was because she got made fun of her name. I used to get made of my name, until I beat up the one who started it. "Anyway," Namine gestures toward the one with black hair. " that's Nerva Roshie. Known for her-" I cut her off, "her body, I can see why." Namine giggles, "Yeah, boys have the tendency to drool when she walks by. It doesn't help that she wears the most skimpiest clothes in our school." I notice Nerva's clothing choice. No wonder the boys drool. That is the most lowest and short tank top I have ever seen. My thoughts are interrupted by Mr. Bates, "Ok class, we are going to take a field trip to a mountain range to look a land forms. I need this by Friday." Oh course dad will let me go. Anything for his sweet heart. The bell rings. Finally Geography class done, and time for my class with Olette. But now I have two friends, which is so awesome for me. I head to the English class room. Olette is already in there scribbling something down. "Hi!" I approach her. Her head snaps up, and she smiles, " Hey Kairi, how we're you're classes?" I shrug, " Pretty good, what about you?" Olette puts some of her things away, " I'm good too. Have you met Namine?" I was wondering when she was going to bring that up, "Yup, we talked in Geography. Do you know why she was late." Olette's smile vanishes. Oh god, I must of said something wrong. I react quickly, "I'm so sorry, did I say something to offend you?" It comes out quick but understandable. She shakes her head, "Oh no, you didn't say offend me it's just-" when Olette is about to tell me a woman with auburn, like mine, walks in the room. I assume she's the teacher. The lady fixes her scarf and then moves her glasses. Olette taps a desk beside her, signaling for me to sit in it. Most of the kids pile in the room and find seats. One boy gets my attention. He has brown spiky hair, which looks gravity deifying. I wonder if he uses gel or if it's just natural. He's walking with an albino kid, who is almost as tall as Aqua. Which is saying something. I've never been interested in boys before, but I have a weird feeling towards the brunette. The teacher en rang a shiny silver bell, "Attention, attention class." The noise calms down into whisper, as the teacher pulls out a clipboard. "Ok, time for attendance." She calls out names like a girl named Slephie, who seems like she's hyper, and a boy named Tidus, and a few other random people. The teacher calls Olette's name, and the albino kid's name, which is Riku. Then the spiky brunette. Sora. His smile makes my heart flutter. "And Kairi." she pronounces my name perfectly, which my other new teachers haven't been able to do. I raise my hand. Her eyes study me. It feels like I'm a rare flower and she is the scientist studying my unique petals. "A-are you new Kairi?" she shutters. I can feel my face heating up, "Yes." The teacher is leaning against her desk, and I can hear her breathing quickly, "From where?" No other teacher asked me these questions, "From Sunshine Island." The woman nods, "I-it's good to have you here." She gives a weak smile, " I'm Ms. Kara." I feel the tension lift from my shoulders. We begin our class with talking about what we already know, and then she assigned a project. We were going to be put into groups of our choice(thank god), and we were going to write about describing each other's. The catch was that the person you were describing couldn't tell you anything about them. You were going to have to describe that person from your opinions. Olette picks our group, which consists of the hyper Slephie, and me. I will be describing Slephie, Slephie will describe Olette, and Olette will describe me. At first we just talk, and it seems that Slephie is actually pretty funny and random. "Hey Kai Kai," Slephie nudges me. I can't believe we haven't even known each other for an hour and I already have a nick name. "Why was the teacher bein a stalker?" Olette agrees, "I was wondering that too." I wouldn't call that stalking. Maybe curious. "I don't know. It's the first time today though." Slephie gets up to go get her pencil, and leaves me with Olette. She scoots closer to me, "Hey Kairi, about Namine being late..." I nod and face her. "We'll, Namine isn't the smartest person. No one is, but she has a real hard time in math. Sometimes she skips geography and other classes to be tutored by a freshman. That's why she was late." I feel kinda bad for Namine. It's hard to work with something you don't understand. "Also, she hasn't told her parents." Olette glances across the room and moves away from me. I feel a presence behind me. I turn to see Tidus, the blonde tanned boy. "Heya Kairi! I'm Tidus!" His hand almost smacks my face. Tidus grips my hand and shakes like crazy. "N-nice t-t-to m-me-e-t yo-u." I manage to get out. He smiles nice and big, and calls another friend over. His friend is very muscular with his orange hair being held up by a bandanna. "Yo I'm Wakka." His grip is much better than Tidus'. Slephie prances back over to us, "I thought you'd like to meet some more people." I smile, "Thanks Slephie." She claps her hands and sits back down. Once class is over we head to lunch with Tidus and Wakka. Namine catches up with us, and we all go and sit together. I have 5 friends already, which is a record for me. We talk about a lot of things, and the rest of the day goes by fast. In a blink of an eye the last bell rings.
