Chapter 3
A/N: I'm writing this chapter earlier due to the fact that my school has been shut down for two days thanks to the snow threat in the South! Enjoy!
"After those club presidents, the next level of high school classification would have to be..." Noah was lost for a minute. The next level of people could be easily debatable. You have the people who are really average. Those who do not seem to have anything special about them. There are also the people who could be counted as cool, but they have a weird quirks about them that turn people in the other direction. People who may be cool, but extremely manipulative or mentally unstable. Those two groups make up a majority of the school, so the roles can be interchangeable as one grows more fame than the other.
Noah's train of thought is interrupted by a dodgeball whizzing past his face along with the laughter of the two teams on the gym floor.
"Hey! I'm going to be the valedictorian and I am not going to let a cranium injury keep me from it!" he yelled glaring at the dodgeball teams playing in front of him. Gym is the worst class of the day. The only reason I didn't have to play is because my mother is a doctor and she writes me a note each and every day giving a reason why I can not take part in sports. Sports are not my forte.
Looking around at the teams, there were specific people Noah knew. One of the people he knew for a fact could not have thrown the ball at him was a junior named Mike Malloy. Mike was rather strange, but he was not the athletic type at all. He is someone who would be in that may be cool, but mentally unstable grouping.
Mike was passively dodging dodgeballs until he gets smacked right in between his eyes. Immediately after, Mike's eyelashes lengthen, his lips unnaturally gets thicker, and his movements become more graceful.
"I am Svetlana! Master of athleticism! Watch me win!" he yells in a Russian, feminine accent. He twirls effeminately and dodges majestically. He picks up a ball, twirls again, then knocks out someone on the other team with ease.
Noah chuckled. Not many people realizes that Mike is the definition of multiple-personality disorder, but I do because it is painfully obvious. This Russian Olympian female, Svetlana, is not the only other personality he embodies. There are times where he is a crippled, old man. Other times he is a greaser that is tough and manly. The last personality I know of is when he becomes an expert tracker with a silly Australian accent.
After Svetlana got several people out, she shifted back into plain not crazy Mike. He looked around and sighed, realizing he had shifted into one of his alter-egos. Everyone around him was laughing at the performance he/she had put on.
"Just a part of my comedy act guys! Really!" Mike announced laughing nervously. Everyone around him believed him mainly cause they did not know him at all.
"Cmon guys, this dude is obviously comedy gold! He must get all the women with his funny ways," a brown-haired, buck-toothed kid said swagging up to Mike.
"Oh god," Noah said shaking his head. It was Cody Stewart, the self-proclaimed "womanizer" of the high school. Ever since pre-school, Cody always walked around flirting with the girls. Nine times out of ten, Cody would get the fool slapped out of him. The one time the girl would simply be oblivious to the flirt. He fit into the average-kid group.
Mike laughed legitimately this time. They were good friends because Cody has never realized his problem after all the classes they have had together. They both took the honors classes, besides the attempt at Pre-AP freshman year.
Noah however, did not like Cody at all. The main reason was because of a nap-time incident in kindergarten.
"Alright students, nap time!" A nice, old teacher said tucking in several kids. The classroom itself was small and cozy, perfect for naps. A young Noah had to sleep relatively close to Cody due to their last names, Riley and Stewart respectively, being close to each other. The teacher usually provides blankets for those who forget to bring their own.
Today though, Cody had forgotten his blanket today. The teacher also ran out of blankets to hand out that day when it got to him, so he had to sleep blanket-less. He grudgingly went to sleep shivering while Noah slept cozily under two blankets he had knitted together himself. He was a child prodigy after all.
After an hour of nap, everyone in the class woke up until the last person. Underneath Noah's blanket was a big hump visible by everyone. The teacher walked over to the blanket to wake him up.
"Noah sweetie, it's time to wake-OH MY GOODNESS!" She yelled as she saw what was underneath the blanket.
Noah and Cody are snuggled up next to each other, spooning each other essentially. They both woke up with a yawn. They both leaned up, looked at each other, then let out a high-pitched scream realizing they had cuddled together. They ran to opposite sides of the room to get away from each other. The students in the class were hysterical with laughter.
"Noah and Cody, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" The whole class was chanting this over and over as neither boy could understand what was possibly going on. Because of this event, Noah and Cody could never be friends again.
Noah shuddered at the memory. The only thing he could do was forget about the entire event. Hopefully, no one would ever bring it up because everyone in his kindergarten class then had either transferred schools or moved to a different area all together. The bell rang for the next class as the teams came back in from dressing out.
In the hallway, people were scuffling around, hitting up the lockers for books and such. At the end of the hallway, the cheerleader Lindsay was holding books with a raven haired girl smirking.
"So Lindsay, did you get all my books and stuff," asked the girl grabbing the books from her.
"Yes Heather, of course!" she replied with an absent-minded smile. Heather fell into the group of she is cool, but she manipulates anyone and everyone so she gets what she wants. Lindsay has been her pack-mule since junior high school carrying her stuff, associating with people who tried to talk to Heather, and keeping her company when she wanted it.
"Now I'm going to need to borrow your lip gloss and make-up because I want to look just as pretty as you!" Heather lied taking the materials she asked for from the ditz's purse.
"But Heather, I need those for my date with Lightening tonight," Lindsay replied sounding out her boyfriend's name carefully.
"You'll be fine, you're naturally beautiful," the raven haired girl replied applying the make-up to herself.
During this a girl with braces and her hair up in a ponytail runs up to Heather with a lisp saying, "Heather! Heather! I have your thour cream and onion chipths!"
Heather rolled her eyes at the girl. She may have been annoying, but she would do anything for her attention. "Thanks Beth! I'll be sure to pay you back later."
"Oh, you don't have to pay me back! Don't worry about it," Beth replied happily giving her the chips. She was glad she could do something to make Heather like her. The sad thing about Beth, is she was placed in that area where there is not anything special about her. Yes, she took baton lessons for several years, but she just never really got it.
"Tho, ith there anything elthe you want me to do," the happy girl asked as spit flew out of her mouth towards Heather and Lindsay.
Heather cringed for a split second before responding with, "No Beth. You're fine!"
"Oh my gosh, Beth I love your pink braces!" Lindsay beamed opening Beth's mouth to look at it. Heather shook her head at how low Lindsay's intelligence level is compared to others.
"You know Lindsay," Heather is then cut off by the bell ringing. "Make sure you get my stuff for next class as soon as possible. Beth, make sure you get me snacks after fourth."
"Yes Heather!" The two followers said immediately. The group then turned and headed to their respective classes.
A/N: I'm really enjoying writing this! So there is Chapter 3 and more characters have been introduced! I shall see about doing some of yalls requests as soon as possible! I also know these chapters may be short, but that is for the reason of introducing all the characters I am going to use. Once I get everyone introduced, the chapters will hopefully be longer!
