Chapter 2: School SUCKS
Richard, Roy, and Vic sat in World History with Mr. Mod. They were currently doing a book scavenger hunt which was kind of hard considering the book had exactly 1,766 pages in it.
Mr. Mod was a British man with red hair and slightly yellow teeth. He wasn't exactly the funniest teacher to have but at least he let them work in groups on the first day.
"Man, I can't find anything! I only got the first question!" Shouted Vic.
Richard raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah. The first question was what is the title. A baby could've gotten that one!"
"Watch your mouth gel boy." Vic joked. Richard laughed and rolled his blue eyes.
They continued working for a few minutes until Wally West burst through the door. He was a good 30 minutes late too.
"Sorry I'm late! I was...uhh..I overslept." The teenage boy said.
Wally was a jokester, like Gar, and was fast. Like crazy fast. He had red hair, like Kori's, and bright sky blue eyes. He never really took anything seriously unless it came to his girlfriend, Jenny.
Jenny Hex was a goth girl. Kind of like Raven except Jenny was more bubbly. She had dyed, bright pink hair with matching cat like pink eyes. Her skin was pale and she was sort of tall. Her and Wally have been having an on-again-off-again kind of relationship since last summer. They had a love-hate relationship and from the looks of Wally, whose hair was messy and his shirt was backwards, it looked like they were on again.
"Ah, yes. Mista Wally West. Take your seat!" Mr. Mod demanded.
Wally jumped slightly at the teacher's scary voice and sat next to Roy.
"Hey Wall. How was the janitor's closet?" Asked Roy. Vic and Richard held back laughs and continued writing.
Wally looked at him with an 'are you serious' kind of look. "For your information, it was in the girls' bathroom this time!"
"Oooo. First day of freshmen year and you're already breakin rules. Tsk tsk." Vic mocked in a disappointed tone.
"Say what you will, but I'll have you know we've already made it to second-base."
"Oh really!?" Richard burst out laughing which caused him a glare from the teacher. He rolled his eyes yet again and said to his red headed friend, "dude, you really need to work on relationship skills."
Wally scowled and crossed his arms. The boys continued to laugh at their friend until Mr. Mod shut them up. Throughout the rest of class, all the boys but back fits of laughter while Wally silently fumed.
"Crap...oh, shoot! This is not good.." Kori fumbled around her bag in search of a pen or pencil an failed miserably as she dropped her schedule, notebook, and chemistry book.
"Agh! Worst day ever.." She said to no one in particular.
As she gathered her things, a pair of black steel tied boots appeared under her nose. She hesitantly looked up and met a pair of grey eyes that were very hard to read.
The guy had messy black hair and was tall. Not only was he tall but he was muscular too and freakishly good looking in a bad boy sort of way. Kori blushed hard at the sight of this stranger and quickly Picked up her things.
"I..uhh I- can you..umm..." Kori was at loss for words as she stared into the guy's cloudy grey eyes.
"Jason Todd." Jason held out a hand which she greatly took.
"Kori Anders." She smiled and held out her schedule. "Do you know where room 104 is? I have chemistry with Professor Chang and I can't find his classroom."
Jason looked at her skeptically and took her schedule. After reviewing over it, he pointed down the hall. "Go straight down and take a right. He's the second door on the left."
Kori looked down the long hallway and turned back to him with a smile. "Thank you so much! I owe you one!" She hugged him lightly taking him by surprise. She quickly got off and said, "Well, it was nice meeting you, Jason. But I got to go!" She ran off before he could reply.
As Jason watched the red headed beauty whizz past the classrooms in search of her destination, he smiled and looked down. "You too, cutie."
"Alright children! Get out on that track and do a mile run! Then we'll come back in here and play some dodgeball!"
Jenny, Jade, Gar and Karen were all in Coach Blood's gym class and it was not fun.
Coach Blood decided that the first day of school, they should do physical fitness. So they tested arm strength with pull ups, which were easy for Karen and Jade since try were cheerleaders, they did numerous push-ups, sit-ups, sit and reach, and now they were going to do a mile run.
"Ahh man! My arms are killing me!" Gar whined.
"Mine too. I'm not fit, I'm not a cheerleader, and I certainly do NOT run. There is no way I'm going out there to run." Jenny said while pointing out to the track. Jade and Karen looked at one another and shrugged. Jenny rolled her eyes and stood her ground. I guess she really wasn't going to run.
Jenny was only on lap two and she was sweating buckets. Jade and Karen had lapped we and were almost done while Gar was about twenty feet in front of her.
"Hey Jenny, thought you weren't gonna run?" Asked Jade while her and Karen slowed down for their friend.
"I," the pink haired girl panted and pumped her arms faster. "Hate...you."
"Aww we love you too girl!" Karen And Jade then left and sweaty, angry Jenny behind as they finished their lap.
Raven was sitting in Mr. Light's English class. He was discussing the topics they would be talking about this semester. They'd be reading Romeo and Juliet as well as Of Mice and Men. They'd also be writing a bunch if essays testing their writing skills and imagination.
Rachel happened to like this class, even though none of her friends were in it. She loved reading and writing. It gave her the peace and quiet she craved.
"Okay class! Lets wrap up this hour with a little partner work. Find a partner and get to know them. Write down three facts about them on a piece of paper and put it in this hat." Mr. Light held out a white fedora hat.
"Next class time, we'll read them aloud and try to guess who is who. This is good for the freshmen!"
Rachel rolled her purple eyes at the word freshmen. That's all she heard all day was freshmen, freshmen, freshmen. And frankly, she was tired of it!
"Aye, mate." Rachel was snapped out of her thoughts by a girl sitting next to her.
The girl had short black hair with red streaks. Her skin was a nice cream color and she wore red lipstick and black eyeliner outlined her fake red eyes.
"Hi." Rachel replied in a monotonous voice.
"My name is Toni Monetti. Pleasure to meet ya." Toni had an Australian accent but she was friendly and Rachel gave a small smile.
"Rachel Roth."
Toni smiled and they began to write things down about each other. Rachel had learned Toni was a freshmen also, but just moved to Jump city from Australia. She also was very bubbly and it reminded her of Kori. Rachel had told her how her mom was the principal of the school. After she saw Toni's eyes go wide she quickly reassured her.
"But no special treatment. I hate that. Just because I'm the principal's daughter doesn't mean in special."
Toni looked skeptically at the raven haired girl. "You're a different one Rachel."
"Yeah. I don't like the whole 'principal's daughter' type thing. That's why I get rides with my friend Richard Grayson. To avoid people knowing I'm Mrs. Roth's daughter."
"Ahh, I see. Well I think it's about time to go. We should wrap this up."
Rachel nodded and smiled a but. It didn't look like it, but she was happy she made a new friend in this class.
When it was lunch time, the group had sat at a table in the corner. They were all pretty tired from their first five classes and only two more after this one hour lunch period.
"I hate school." Said Karen while picking at her salad.
Vic snorted. "I'll say. I have football practice after school! Ultra gay man."
Roy and Richard agreed. Vic, Roy, and Richard were all on the football team. They were also on Varsity but rarely played since they were just freshmen.
"Well me and Jade have cheer practice." Added Karen.
Kori raised her hand slightly and said, "And I have a student council meeting." Kori was her grade's student council president.
"Yeahhh...me and Gar are going to his house to play," Wally looked at Gar and said simultaneously, "ZOMBIE PARADISE 2!"
The group simply stared at their idiotic friends and shook their heads.
"You guys...are retarded." Jenny said. Everyone laughed and Gar and Wally scowled.
"Kori?" Everyone turned around to see who was saying their friend's name. Kori turned around also and saw Jason.
"Jason! Hi!" She smiled widely and her laughed.
"Uhh, hey." Then he held out a notebook that was purple and sparkly. "You left this in English."
Kori took it and looked back to him. "Thanks! Ugh, I'm just owing you a hunch if favors."
"Nahh, it's fine. Well I'll see you around Kori." He walked off and disappeared through the cafeteria doors. Kori smiled a little and turned back around. All her friends were staring at her with a 'Who the hell was that?' kind of look. Kori, being the naive one, asked, "What?"
"Who was that Kori?" Demanded Richard while crossing his arms. His protective side came into play.
"That was Jason Todd. He helped me find my class this morning." She replied, chewing on some salad.
All was quiet for a moment then Vic spoke up. "Well all I know is, he better not try anything with you. Because if he does my fist will be connecting with his everything."
Everyone agreed while Kori laughed lightly and finished her food. Then, the bell rang.
So much for a good first day.
