Chapter 2: Getting Used to Things.

I woke up to the loud bell this school had and oh my God did that scare me. I looked at the time and it was six-thirty in the morning and I was beat. I did not want to get up anytime soon but I had to get ready. I got up and went to the shower in my dorm room. Took off my clothes and got into a nice warm and comforting shower. I finally felt at ease for once. I took my time to let the water run through my body. Also letting the water sink into my hair. I faced the showerhead and shook my head rapidly. My braid, still tied up, I took it off and left the bands on the sink. It felt nice letting my hair go free and run down my shoulders. I got my usual shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so I had everything I needed. I got out of the shower feeling energized and awake. That hot water hit the spot. People ask me how many times does it take for me to make the braid but since I have been doing it so much, it's just second nature to me. I combed my hair, got the uniform that was hanging in my closet like the principal said, and got dressed. The shirt was a bit tight but the pants fit perfectly.

The uniform consisted of a white shirt to start with, a wine-red tie, and a wine-red waistcoat to match. Loved the color if I want to be honest with myself. Plus a dark jacket to go on top of everything. Carrying it by itself was heavy. Now I wonder if I can even pay for this school when this is all done. Next was some usual black pants and black shoes with black socks. I had a mirror in my room as well that was hanging right next to the closet. I checked myself and felt good. Didn't think I would look this great in a suit before. Made sure the braid was okay and my hair wasn't poofy. I grabbed my school supplies which were notebooks, pens, and secretly a laptop if I have any free time. I checked if I got everything and opened the door.

"Hello…"

"Oh, WHAT THE H-"

I jumped back and tripped over the small table that was in my dorm room. I fell backwards, hitting my back, and laying on the floor. I looked at her a bit surprised at how cute she looked in the uniform. But also the fact on how did this small girl manage to scare me like this?

"Whoa jumpy man. I just figured you might need help getting to your classes." she was just on her phone and it seemed like she was texting someone. She still had that katana right next to her. I want to ask her why she is bringing that to a class but I don't know if that is a good idea.

"Right, um... thank you."

"Now come on. Do you even know what time it is? We are late."

I looked at my watch, "OH SH-!"

"Now stop taking a nap and let's go!"

I used my back to push myself to get up and got out of the door quickly. We went down the stairs and got to our class which was on the other side of campus. Kind of a long walk but it's fine. When we got outside there were multiple students, just girls, coming up to her and asking how she was doing and giving her hugs. It was cute but now I can tell she is famous in this school for whatever reason. How is everyone so happy to see a student who is literally the only one with a weapon at her disposal. At least we got to class on time. Well, Katy went in and I just stood outside. Katy seemed like she sat in her normal seat. The bells were ringing and I looked at my watch and it was exactly eight sharp. I was nervous and sweating a bit. I took some deep breaths and composed myself as we all waited for the teacher. The teacher came in a minute later. He looked at me

"Oh, so you are Shadow Shakri, the new student?"

I replied, "Yes sir."

"Alright wait here and I will let you get a chance to introduce yourself to the class"

I took a deep breath before responding, making it look obvious that I was nervous, "Cool I am ready."

"Great, now hold on." He went inside and got his papers on the desk. The professor looked at the class and told them straight. "I have an important announcement to make." He pushes his glasses up the nose bridge. Most of the students looked surprised instead of the usual dead looks. "We have a new student today. Please welcome him with open arms."

I knew that was the signal for me to walk in and I did. I went to the front of the class and gave my full name, what I like to do, and hope I can be their friend someday. Even though that last one is a lie. I don't usually like meeting people. Usually, I would like to be by myself and not bother anyone so no one can bother me. Unless you are offering me food. Everyone had a blank expression but they all at least waved. "Please take a seat where there is a desk open," said the professor.

I looked around and the only seat left was next to Katy so I walked and sat right next to her where it was all the way in the back of the classroom. Katy was sitting next to the window that had a great outside view of the campus. I took out my notebook and a pen and focused on the lesson for today. As I was taking the notes that the teacher was writing on the board. I looked at Katy and I just see her sleeping on the desk. I was shocked. She even had a hoodie and used it as a pillow. We were five hours into the class and it just seems like this school has one teacher per class and that teacher teaches everything for you. I want to eat because my stomach has been rumbling for a while. The bell rings which signals the students that class is over. All the students pack their stuff and have their side conversations. Some students were leaving quickly and telling me "welcome to the school." I stayed in my seat while some left and some stayed inside having their own group discussion. I went to Katy and shoved her shoulder to wake her up.

"Hey… class is over…"

She didn't seem to wake up

"Are you in deep sleep? Wow, what a cocky sleepy kitten. I can give you cat ears and no one will tell the difference between you and a cat."

She woke up, "What did you say?" Lifting her head and staring at me with a dead look.

"Oh… um, nothing… class ended by the way."

Katy sighs, "Finally." She gets up and starts walking out of the room.

I asked, "Where are you going?"

"To my club."

"What club?"

"Follow me."

Katy just walked out of the classroom. She seemed to have no interest in me at all. I followed her. My stomach grumbled again and Katy stopped walking.

"Are you hungry?"

"Y-yea." My cheeks were turning red.

She giggled, "Okay come on let's get something to eat first from the cafeteria, and then we can go to my club."

"Sounds great. I can't wait to eat, honestly."

We went to the cafeteria and I got a burger and some fries. Katy was just sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Are you going to eat?"

"No, I am not hungry."

"Suit yourself."

I ate my burger and I enjoyed every bite of it. The chefs here didn't seem much at first but they made a very good burger. I ate the fries and Katy looked at me very weirdly again. I stared at her weirdly. There was a pause.

"... What?" I asked.

"Are you a monster? How fast do you eat? How much do you eat?"

"This is nothing. What are you talking about?"

"You are a monster. A true giant."

"I'm only six feet."

"Titan."

I just didn't respond and finished my food. When she saw me finish my last fry, she got up and left. I picked up my try, threw out my trash, and resumed to follow. She went behind the building that we were currently in and there was another building yet somewhere smaller than the rest. Though it was still fairly big. We entered the building and there were tons of students fighting like in martial art styles. Grunts, punches, and swift movements all happening at once.

"Why hello there"

A strange but taller and bigger muscle guy stands in front of me. Being very intimidating.
