Chapter 2: New Comer
Aisha's POV:
My stomach ached as my hands felt cold and sweats started to form on my forehead. I'm going to high school! HIGH SCHOOL I SAID! Well actually screw that, I was suppose to be in high school anyway. But I'm talking about 10th grade here, people! It's where pranks and jokes started and a bunch of big kids. It's not a place for a little girl like me. Well, I'm still a little girl in my opinion.
I was so nervous as we sat in the car. I kept glancing at the time, hoping if I focus enough, the time would froze before I even get to that dangerous place. I was too focus on the time that I didn't even noticed we were already here already until Chung tapped me by the shoulder.
"Come on Aisha, we're here," he said as the driver opened the door for us. The school was huge! It was surrounded by green grass that covered up 20 acres. In front of us were a white sidewalk where the grass separated. The school was colored in light blue with many white windows. The school had about 4 levels and was much bigger than any other school. I hurried and followed Chung as he set off toward the gate. Suddenly, a question came in my mind.
"Um.. Chung?" I asked.
"Yes?" He replied without looking at me.
"Um... how do I know which class I'm in?"
"Hm... you can ask the principle."
"And where can I find her?"
"Don't worry, I'll go with you."
"Woa," I said as we walked into the hallway. There were lockers on both side. Between each set of lockers, there were huge glass panes. The wall was in baby blue and the floor was so shiny I could see my reflection in it. I was too focus on the floor that I accidentally bumped into Chung as he stopped abruptly.
I watched as he knocked on the door. After a brief moment of silent, a voice called out, "come in." I followed closely behind as I grabbed his arm nervously. The lady had blond hair that tied into a pony tail and she had on a red and white dress. She was doing paper work when we walked in.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Ariel," she smiled, "you must be the new student." I nodded shyly. "Don't worry, this school is really safe, we make sure to have everything under control." Then blah blah blah, I don't know and I don't care. I got lost in the middle of the conversation as Chung and her started talking.
Finally, after 10 minutes or so, they finished. I curtsied politely and walked out with Chung.
"So here's your schedule," he said as he handed me the piece of paper. "You're basically in the same class as me. Magic Class, Math Class, Alchemist Class, etc..." he said. "Come on, class start in 5 mins."
"Hello class, I'm Mr. Denka, which you should know from last year's Alchemist Class" the teacher said. Although he's a bear... I thought as I stared at the bear dressed in blue. "Welcome to Alchemist Class, since we all know we all know each other, we'll save time by skipping the introduction part," he said as he glanced around, once his eyes landed on me, he stopped. I blinked as he frowned and crossed over to his desk to pick up a sheet of paper.
"Oh right, I heard we're having a new student today," he said cheerfully as he looked up, "please introduce yourself." He signaled for me to stand up with his hand.
I unwillingly stood up and shyly said, "Um, hello, I'm Aisha."
"Please tell us something about yourself," Mr. Denka said.
"Well, I um..." I was speechless since I had no idea what to say. I could felt all eyes were on me as I tried to think of something.
"She's my sister," Chung blurted out next to me, "and we have the same parents." Save my the bell! I thought in relief and let out a small sigh. Mr. Denka looked surprise. Well obviously, we were nothing alike. Being in Hamel doesn't mean he have to know the princess... Right?
"Well, class, please welcome Aisha and make her feel welcome," he said as we sat back down.
"Thanks," I whispered to him. He just simply nodded chuckled at me.
"I just don't want you to make me look bad on the first day of school." Realized his real intention, I narrowed my eyes at him. Should've known, I thought as I looked around the room, taking in every little details before focused my attention back on the board.
"Ughh math, I hate it," Chung whined as we headed to Math Class.
"Its not that bad," I shrugged.
"Yo Chung," a voice sounded as we looked behind us. I saw a person with red hair and an inappropriate outfit approaching us. His bangs covered most of he eyes and there were 2 braided strings of hair on both side of his ears. His black sleeveless shirt stopped above his stomach. He had tattoos on both of his shoulder and he wore black gloves. His white pant seemed too baggy for him. He had on a golden necklace and a white sword strapped on his side.
"What's up, man," Chung greeted as they did a handshake. Ugh. Boys... I thought. "Aisha, meet Elsword. Elsword, Aisha," Chung said as he turned to me.
"Aren't you looked a little young kid?" He said as he looked at me. Despite my age, I looked like a 12 years old kid... Wonder how did that happened... I sarcastically thought as I glared at him.
Annoyed by his attitude, I replied shortly, "no." Then he reached his hand up and pinched my cheek, hard. I got irritated and set his hair on fire.
But he just simply took his hand back and smirked, "magic huh?" He snapped his finger and the fire extincted. I frowned, then narrow my eyes.
There were only 2 kind that can control Fire Magic, Elemental Master and... "you're a Rune Slayer!" He just chuckled.
"Bingo! And that's why, your poor fire magic wont work on me."
"Who told you I can only use fire?" I smiled and used my sweetest voice.
"Uh oh..." Chung mumbled.
"Cyclone!" I said as I casted a small tornado at him.
"What the-" his voice was cut off as the small tonardo caught him off guard.
"Eh... maybe it's a bad idea to let you guys meet each other..." Chung said as he watched Elsword being swept away by the tornado.
"Lets get to class," I said as I grabbed him and dragged him toward Math Class.
"Elsword! I'll catch up with you later!" Chung yelled back as Elsword continued to get beaten by the tiny little tornado.
I took my seat next to Chung as we waited for the rest of the students. I took out the math book and looked over some pages.
"Hi," a cheerful, sweet voice startled me as I looked up. An elf was standing over me, smiling cheerfully.
"Hi," I replied as I put down the book.
"I'm Rena," she introduced.
"I'm Aisha," I replied back.
"Yea we were in the same Alchemist class!"
"Oh right!" I recalled back at the Alchemist class when I noticed a blonde elf. She was wearing a puffy green and white dress. A bow was strapped on her back, but she didn't carried any arrows, so I was wondering how can she shoot. She settled down on the available seat in front of me and we started talking casually.
Suddenly, a furious redhead burst in, he looked around before his gaze stopped upon me. "YOU!" He pointed a finger at me.
"Oh hey cool it down there Elsword!" Rena stood up as she felt the tense atmosphere.
"You little-!" Elsword ignored her but suddenly, the bell rang. "We're not done with this!" "Oh hey Rena," he grumbled as he crossed over to the seat next to Chung. "Didn't see you there."
"I really have no idea what's going here, but I assumed you guys know each other?" Rena asked.
"Apparently, ye-" Chung sighed but was cut off as I spoke up.
"Nope, never seen him before in my life."
"What!?" Elsword suddenly jumped up from his seat. "Are your brain working alright? And what's up with your hair!? They're purple!" That was also when I lost my calm and stood up too.
"Don't bring my hair in this! And look who's talking! It look like someone dumbed a bucket of paint on your head!"
"Hey! My hair is natural!"
"So is mine!"
"And I'm not uncomfortable with this!" Rena's voice rang out in the air and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. "The teacher is here. Shut it, or risk getting detention!"
Her voice startled us both and we hurried back to our seat. Chung looked like he was about to pee in his pant when he did nothing wrong and Elsword looked petrified. I never would've thought that a sweet elf could turn into a demon.
