Miko groaned as her alarm rang, signaling it was time to get up. Today was her first day at Kaon High, and she was quite nervous. The principal, an authoritarian man by the name of Mike Kannon, had a rule against friendly interaction with anyone at Iacon High. This normally wasn't a problem, but her legal guardian was Kent Stone, the engineer and janitor at Iacon High, who had taken her in after her parents died in a plane crash when her father got a job transfer to America.
Miko ran down the stairs, and saw Kent, or Bulkhead, as some called him, trying to fix a delicious breakfast, and not doing too well at it. His body was covered in flour and pancake batter, and he had an omelet in his black hair. Miko giggled at her guardian's appearance. "You try to make pancakes and eggs?" Miko asked.
"Yeah," Bulkhead said. "Um, how about we pick up something on the way?"
"Nah, it's cool, Bulk," Miko said. "I'll figure something out. After all, I'm pretty sure you can't go to work like that."
"You have a point there. Remember, I can't go on Kaon's grounds, so you'll have to walk home after school," Kent cautioned. "Stay away from the alleyways. They're prime hideouts for thieves, muggers, and crack dealers."
"I know. See ya, Bulk," Miko said as she grabbed her bags and gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking out the door. She knew Bulkhead knew what he was talking about. He was older and wiser than she was, and he was right about plenty of things in the past, so she didn't have a reason to doubt him, now. She stopped by the donut shop, and got herself a cherry jelly donut. She ate it, and when she looked at her watch, she realized she had only ten minutes. "Oh no, not good!" Miko shot up out of her seat, and ran out of the donut shop. As she ran, she saw two guys walking towards a car. "Out of my way!" She tried to shout to the younger boy.
However, her warning didn't come in time, and she bowled the boy over, making herself fall over. She sat up, rubbing her head in pain. She opened her eyes, and the boy's eyes just moved up to meet hers. Time seemed to stop until she heard the other boy clear his throat. "Mind getting off my little brother?" he asked.
Miko scampered off of the boy, accidentally hitting him below the belt. "Oh, I'm so sorry about that. Here, let me help you up," she offered. She offered her hand, and he took it. Unfortunately, she used a bit too much of her strength, and ended up under the boy with his hand close to her chest. The boy immediately scampered off her, and she stood up.
The silence got awkward. "Um…" the boy said.
"Well, gotta go. Bye!" Miko said, running from the flabbergasted boy. Once she turned the corner, she let out a huge sigh. Her heart was racing, and not from the running she did. After she calmed down, she continued on her way to Kaon.
She soon arrived at Kaon and saw the twins Skylar and Dan Drayson, security at Kaon High. Skylar had green eyes while his brother had blue. She showed them her ID with Kaon's symbol (1), and they allowed her to enter. Mike Kannon gave his speech about striving toward excellence and getting homework done on time, which no one wa actually listening to. After the speech was finally done, Miko went to her homeroom, a science class. After a few minutes, the teacher appeared. He was slightly short in stature, fairly muscular, with short black hair and dark violet eyes. His most distinct feature was his left arm, which appeared to be a prosthetic of some kind. "Hello, students," he said in a short, polite manner. "My name is James Walker from Sigma University. I will be your science professor. Are there any questions?"
One boy raised his hand and James pointed to him. "What happened to your arm?" The curious boy asked. Miko had been wondering the same thing.
"A laboratory accident that cost me my arm. The arm is of my own design, and I attached it to my shoulder with the help of the school's medic and cosmetics professor, Karl Breaker," James Walker replied. As others asked the professor questions about grading and stuff like that, Miko's mind drifted to the boy she ran into. She was hoping to see him again very soon.
