CHAPTER 2)
I made myself some toast to eat. I was a little jubbled up from my nightmare, and now you all know why. I send my thanks to everyone who read my flasback. It means a lot to me, thanks!
I don't drink coffee, it just taste nasty! So, I go to the frigde and get a Dr. Pepper. Now, this I call my coffee! I love this stuff, even though it's bad for you. I popped the the soda and took a swig of it. Then, I grabbed my toast to bite it. I munched it down so fast that, well, seemed to fast. I streched my arms back and yawned. "Ah, what to do today?" I looked over at the clock and sighed. I also heard my alarm clockgo off in my room. "Oh, yeah, school." I grabbed my backpack and my soda and ran out the door.
I decided when I woke up to wear my favorite outfit. A black tee with camo cargo pants, so familiar, right? Well, when I got the clothes back then they were huge on me, I mean come on! They were guys clothes and I was only 13! The clothing though fits me now, since I'm older. I'm in high school and I'm a senior of course. School wasn't and isn't very hard, but usaually it's not easy either. I've never gained any friends over the school years. I mean, people have been nice to me before, but they never really seemed like a friend to me. To my opinion, I had more foes than people being nice to me. One, because of how I look-you know, purple hair, slits for pupils and pale skin-to other people. Two, because I act "strange". Hey, just because I'm tough and can fight, dosen't mean I'm some weird freak.
Um, well, the demonish/cat eyes dosen't help either. No, my eyes never reaturned to normal. They stayed as slits. I kinda like it though.
Of course everyone has one big enemy that bullies them. Jiro Springer, is my big bully. He teased me and bugged me for as long as I been in school. I've never known why me...well, my looks probably are part of it, but still. I just don't get bullies sometimes. Do they look around on the first day of school and just pick randomly or what? It's like "Oh, I'll pick on that girl 'cause she looks emo!" but then you find out she's captain of the cheerleading squad. But, siriously I have no clue how they do it. And of course right when I'm in a happy mood, Jiro come to the "I'm ruining your day" rescue. Yet, if it's like that, then how is that a rescue?
I walked onto the campus grounds and here comes Jiro.
"Hey freak girl! You know you still haven't told me why your eyes are like that. All these years and nothing! Are they contacts or something, tell me or I'll punch you!"
"Really Jiro? We have to go through this again? I'm in a good mood for once and please don't go all threating on me! You know I can kick your butt in a second. And you know my eyes are real, idoit!" Great! I'm already annoid by him today. "And Jiro, stop callling me freak girl! It got old a while ago!" Ugh, I felt like punching him!
"Keep talking trash to me and sse what happens you freak!" He was fuming and it was quite amusing to me.
"Oh, I'll keep talking Jiro!" I smerked at him.
"Oh that's it!!!" Jiro came at me with his fist up and really to hit me. Before I could count to 3, Jiro's hand was 5 inchs from my face, but someone was holding it back. I followed the hand to a gray long sleved shirt guy. He was pale like me, but he had red hair. Not like a red head, but like blood red hair. It looked really cool. His eyes were gray like his shirt. Kinda like when there's a full moon and you can see it, it's like that color gray. I looked at him in aw. But, also quickly noticing that he was staring at me. I snapped of of my girlyness moment. I probably looked like an idoit. Then, I notice something else..he was helping me. That's something I'd never expect from anyone. But, yey here we are, this guy helping me. Man, I'm glad he poofed outta no where or else I would've had a black eye and a suspention slip.
The guy dropped Jiro's fist and it swung at his side. I think we were both astonished. Ok, so the guy that saved me turned to Jiro and said, "Have you ever heard that your not supposed to hit a girl? It's very nice and they help populate the human race." Was he talking about how we're useful in sex? This guy is strange, but I like his style. That guy grabbed my arm and again turned back to Jiro. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll be on our way." He started towing me in the opposite direction of Jiro, which he was still opened mouthed with surprize and shock. "You were in a bit of troublr there, weren't you?" He chuckled.
"Um, yeah, that idiot Jiro will not leave me the hell alone! Oh, and thanks for helping me back there. I'm Rain." I said as I held out my hand to shake his. He took it with a firm, but gentle grip. I looked in his eyes ,they looked empty and lonely. Like he's been lost for a long time. I felt a twinge of pity for him. Even, though it was wrong, I still felt it.
"My name's Kadin, honored to meet you Rain." He gave me a smile.
"You'll be a good friend then."
"Why's that?" His look on his face made it quite obvious that he was curious is to why.
"Your name means 'friend'. As mine means well..."
"Rain?" He said.
"Yeah." I rubbed the back of my head. I felt like an idiot. The five minute warning bell rang for class. I jumped because I forgot all about school. "Oh crap! I'm going to be late! Um, sorry! I gotta go! Maybe we'll catch up later!" I ran off to class and waved to Kadin as I ran. Kadin. He just poofedup outta nowhere. He was pretty atracttive. I still wonder why he helped me, but I guess it doesn't matter now. Did he even come to the school? Would I ever see him again? These questions flooded my mind. I could tell in the back of my head, I really wanted him to be here and come to this school. We could hang out everyday, while people stared and called us freaks. I felt my face get hot. I was probably flushing. Great, now even more people will bug me today.
Classes were easy and fast to me because I was always occupied with something. The clock ticked slowly for the lunch bell. Usaully I wasn't worried about the clock, because I wouldn't be paing attention to it but to something else of work. But, I had everything done, so I watched the clock. Clicks from every second started to get annoying. Only seconds left 'til lunch time. Why was I in such a hurry today? Was it because I thought I might see Kadin? Most likely. Ugh, why take so long clock!? Finaaly, the bell rang loud and clear. I grabed my stuff and bolted towards the lunch room. I had a few bucks to buy a soda, but I was really hungry today. Ah, I could smelled the food from where I was at. Which I was across campus from the cafiteria Pizza today, cheese or pepperoni. The students are haveing trouble choosing which pizza. How could I hear that much detail from the otherside of school? Now the day was getting strange.
I ran to the cafiteria to get my soda and pizza. As I got my food, something caught the courner of my eye. A glimpse of blood red red. I turned to get a better look, but when I did it was gone. I swore I saw Kadin. Now I'm halusinating! What is with today!? I took my food and walked over to my table. Yeah, I had my own table since the first day of high school. No one has ever sat with me. I was a freak with slited eyes. I poped open my soda and took a chug. That's when I heard a snicker. I looked up to see Jiro.
"Who was that guy this morning, Rain? Your boyfriend? Oh, wait you ouldn't even get a date if they were dared." He laughed at me. I looked down at m y food in shame, for he was right. I heard a quite clatter in front of me. I paied no real attantion to it and I keep my head down still. Then, I heard that voice. The voice I knew would make my day go better.
"You know, usually peole who pesture others about dating, can't get a date themselfs." Kafin said with a tone that was sure to piss Jiro off.
"I wouldn't be talking, a*****e!" Jiro snorted and stalked off. I was pretty stunned by Kadin's comment. And, now when I think about it, I've never seen Jiro with a date. Maybe Jiro stalked of pissed because it was true. I giggled to myself, forgeting that Kadin was right in front of me.
"Oh," I blushed, "I forgot you were here. Wow, I'm impressed! You told Jiro off twice in half of a day! Oh, wait. You come to school here?" I hoped he'd say yes.
"Yeah, I do." YES!!! I thought to myself. I blushed again. "Today's my first day here. I think the classes are to easy." He chuckled and smiled.
"Oh, cool! Welcome to Buena High! You think the classes are easy? Same here. Like easy peasy. So, did you move here of transfered?" If he did move here to Ventura, I'll be surprized. It's kinda ok here, but I gotta be somewhere right?
"Yeah, I moved here last week from Scottland." He said enjoying my curiousity.
"Scottland? Then, shouldn't you have a scottish accent?"
"No, I lived there for a couple years. I move from place to place a lot." He sighed like he was tired of moving. That would suck for anyone though. He looked in my eyes. I flushed. He opened his mouth to speak, but i quickly spoke first.
"Why did you help me this morning?"
"Well, I happned to look over in your direction and I saw you and that guy figting." He pointed behind him towards Jiro. Jiro looked furious. It was funny. "So, I decided to step in. I don't like violence." Great, he's not ever coming over to my place then. Violence is something I enjoy. Only if it is to someone that's bad of course.
"But, why help a person like me?" I gestured to my face. I looked weird and clashy. And clashy is not a thing here in Ventura. Damn prepy kids think they own everything. It gets annoying.
"Well, I told you. I just happened to see you. I didn't want a girls pretty face to get beaten." He looked embarassed at the same time I blushed again. The bad thing about blushing with pale skin, it's reall noticable. He looked into my eyes once more and started to speak. "Why are your eyes like that? Their like a cat's" Oh no. I haven't explained to anyone about what happened when I was 13, which would explain what's why my eyes. Usually, I always get saved by something. Like this morning when Jiro started pesturing me about my eyes again and Kadin save me from not only being beaten and suspened, but from explaining what happened 5 years before.
The ring of the bell made me jump from my deep thought. "Oh!" I started to get my things together. "Oh, um I gotta go to class. I'm sorry." I got saved from this question again. I finished gattering my stuff and started to leave. Kadin stood up and grabbed my hand. I looked back at him with wide eyes and a very red face. He was bluhing too. His hand held mine tight and warmly. I needed to get to class! I can't ba late again! I pulled back my hand and took off to class. Every class I passed I heard the clocks tick every one of the seconds. My senses seem to inhance by at least 5 times. I had no clue what was going on, but I needed to class in 30 seconds or I get onother detention. I ran faster, wooshing passed every student that was ranning late as well. I bolted into my class room and into my seat with 4 seconds to spare. I got away, I thought to myself. My heart was pounding but not from running. I could tell because My pulse would be harder and faster. My face was flushed from the quick memory of Kadin grabbing my hand. So warm and gentle. The way his eyes pierced mine with that look. It questioned me what that look ment. but for now all that mattered was for school to be done and my weekend
