Started Out Well

Five minutes have passed, and they're all still really focused on me. In a situation like this, being homeschooled doesn't seem torturous I should have just stayed in my dreamland, at home on my bed. Just as I was about to step back into the wagon, my ears rang as I heard:

"Hold up! Where are you off to so quickly? Give this establishment a chance, and by the way, you haven't even properly introduced yourself. I see you're in quite a pickle, so if you want out, grab my palm and follow my lead."

An uncanny girl says to me while smiling with a British accent. She then takes a quick look into the car and says to my birth giver with an odd expression,

"Don't worry, ma'am, your daughter's safe and sound with me."

She then suddenly takes me by the wrist as we started bolting through the massive crowd without me having the opportunity to pronounce the word "bye" to Mom nor to acknowledge in what direction we were heading in. Still, to be straightforward, I was so relieved that I didn't fret about the two. When we suddenly came to a stop, I was all of a sudden confused as to why someone looking like she does would come to rescue an idiot like me. I have literally embarrassed myself in front of the entire school. As my thoughts slowly began to escape my mind, I noticed that my "lifesaver" had large lustrous green eyes, shoulder-length frizzy red hair, and slightly tanned skin, and she was a little taller than I was. I will not begin to describe every inch of her body 'cause that would take an eternity.

"Becoming a top topic your first day attending a new school, doesn't seem like you did it deliberately." She took a brief pause then asked:

"Well, did ya ?"

I always hated questions, but if I wanted to integrate myself into this new environment, I needed to get rid of that old habit. As I was about to answer, a girl with massive spectacles came running from behind us at full speed as the school bell rang screaming:

"Afyre! We are going to reach late for the first period. Do you want to get sentenced to detention?! We have a business to attend to afterward."

Rarely taking a breath between her words, she then came to a brute stop with a glare following behind it, staring at both Afyre and me. The frustration could literally be seen through her gaze. Afyre rolled her eyes and noted:

"I generally have the discretion on whether or not to attend Madame Simon's boring lectures... besides Chick hasn't even told me her name yet." She says while pouting. Her friend was visibly annoyed by her actions but wasn't simply going to stop at that. She then streaked back, saying:

"You're such a pain, come on! You can learn her name afterward, but we must attend this class."

She spoke while walking off and even insisted on the "must," but Afyre didn't seem to be convinced and instead shouted, not even taking to account that I was standing right beside her:

"I'll be right up. I'm just going to bring her up to the counselor's office! Kisses!"

At that moment, Spectacles was so exhausted that she didn't even bother turning around.

We started walking towards the counselor's office in obscured silence. I swear that I could even hear pencils and pens scribbling away on the paper that they were applied to, but I've had enough silence in my lifetime. I wasn't planning to be faced with more, it was slowly eating out my insides like lava flow through a village, and I would soon be left with nothing else but the skin on my back. I couldn't bear it! So I've decided to browse through this thick skull of mine so that I can come up with, for the first time, a conversation that's not based on my life. I already knew her name thanks to Spectacles' who literally blurted it out like her life depended on it, and I most definitely was not willing to learn Spectacles' name. As a matter of fact, I hated questions, so why bother asking them? That's exactly how hypocrites are born.

"Thanks for saving me back there. I really needed that."

I said quickly while passing my palms onto my Jeans as they immediately started sweating uncontrollably; this would often occur when I was faced with anything to do with speech. She then takes a glance at me with a smirk as her facial expression, but I had no idea what was so funny?! I had the decency to thank her, and all she could find to do was laugh at me.

Stopping in her tracks, she then had a quirky grin upon her face,

"So what is your name Chick? No need to thank me; I just do what needs to be done."

She bragged while leaning against a locker pimp style. Taken aback by her swag, I began to daydream completely unaware that I was literally drooling over her. Coming to my senses, I realized that I finally got the fortune to answer correctly, but in a blink of an eye, we were once again interrupted by a loud "ROAR" in the background startling me with a broad; muscular; hairless male figure gradually coming into sight,

"Ms. Paines! This is the second time this week that you're skipping class, and I would hate to have you expelled. It wouldn't fit nicely onto your college applications." He said in a sarcastic tone, "Not only that, but you also have the gall to compel another to tag along. Get to class!"

Looking at Afyre, I spotted a glance of mischievousness in her eyes, and I began to shiver as the tension between them raised. They were staring at each other straight in the eye. She was testing this one's authority and refusing to budge.

Was Miss Little perfect "chilling" with the school's rebel?

Hearing the Narrator whisper in my ears brought me back to reality, and now that I think about, the way that she so confidently addressed me in the parking lot when I was the center of attention without a care in the world and when Spectacles' insisted on her presence in class. Now this, Oh Boy, I really wasn't prepared for drama, especially not with Hulk here who was currently breathing down our necks. I needed to find an out, but I could not get my legs to budge.

She then argued back with a smirk once again upon her face, " Mr. Principal, funny to see you around these halls, normally you're stuck behind stacks of paperwork, were you bored? If what I'm doing interests you so much, all you had to do was ask no need to be cocky. No, I didn't "compel" anyone to "tag-along" I was going to head to class after bringing Newbie up to the counselor's office, and if you didn't interrupt us, I would be in class just like everybody else in this school who trembles under your name."

Hulk suddenly snapped, " Paines, I am pleased that you pay so much attention to your surroundings, but sometimes I wonder if you forget who you're speaking with, I am your Principal and should be treated with high respect, now in order to prevent spending the rest of the week in detention I'd advise you to attend your resinated course." Afyre was really bold, but despite that, she shrugged him off with the following words.

" I'll be at the cafeteria at 12 if you need me, Chick, and if the man standing in front of you is a good tour guide as he is a principal, you will have no trouble finding it." She then starts walking off with the final words: "It was fun while it lasted, Mr.Pion," disappearing into the distance.
