The day started out just like any other day, well sort of. Damon and I rode to school together and separated going to classes. The only difference, third period homeroom.
*Earlier that day*
Damon, or rather, Hermione, who was her real name, is genuinely quite adorable. Before leaving the house, Hermione didn't change back into her boy clothes. She declared, "There's no point in hiding anymore if you're going to stay. I'll dress however I please." A faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but it was evident. We bid farewell to Mark and Mom after breakfast, while we were still eating. As we ate, the local news station reported an intriguing discovery by climate change scientists. It was an unusual occurrence, but it piqued our curiosity. We exchanged quick goodbyes and headed off to school.
Ever since last night, i've been having weird dreams and I've been getting a bad feeling. "I'll just shake it off, its probably nothing," That's what I keep telling myself. It usually works.. sometimes.
The tension usually goes down once I'm on my bike. I feel at ease, like I'm closer to my dad. Maybe I'm just nervous about going to this school. Everyone else besides Hermione is an enemy,I mean there's Roy? unless proven otherwise.
So the first 2 periods were actually pretty easy,
except for the fact that Terumi was in the first period, "gulp." he was staring daggers. The need to constantly look over my shoulder was getting exhausting.
In fact, he was playing with a pocket knife the whole time. That's not even the worst part. Apparently he's really smart, like top 5. Who knew that of all people. Were in fact smarter than me. That's kinda impressive for a jackass. So the teacher decided to put my seat next to his. I became so glad that class was over.
My second period was self study. I thought it would be a study hall but instead it's more what you didn't learn, catch-up or you find something to do from a teacher like helping with club activities. Unlike everyone else, I took this opportunity to look around the school. The courtyard was amazing.There was a fountain. In the fountain was a woman made of marble. A snake warped around her legs toward her torso. The architecture was very thought out, also very pleasing to the eye. Trees were placed around in a strategic manner for better flow of energy and increased concentration. The grass was very luscious; vibrant green and colorful flowers. It was like a forest or more of a garden.The picnic tables were placed where students can eat and leave efficiently.
I genuinely enjoy this courtyard. In fact, I believe it's my favorite place. I found a spot under a tree, closed my eyes, and experienced a state of tranquility. The gentle breeze carried a sense of bliss, making it an unforgettable moment. However, my serenity was abruptly interrupted by a voice from behind me.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself," I slowly turned around to identify the speaker. Standing before me was a girl with striking red hair. She was wearing a military uniform, which caught my attention. Her fair, pale skin was adorned with sharp eyes that pierced directly at me. I responded, "Yes, I was actually enjoying myself, and why are you dressed like that?"
She appeared confused for a moment before seeming to come to a conclusion. "You must be the new kid," she said. "Anyway, this is the Army ROTC uniform. It's a program offered by our school. It's essentially a gym elective that aims to polish you up and assess your interest in joining the military service."
*School bell*
"Ahh, it's time to head back," I muttered. We both got up from under the tree. As she starts to dust herself off. I think I might've been starting too much because she started to blush. Her checks were a rose color.
" You keep staring and I'm gonna knock some sense into you."
I look around and at the ground. I apologized. She was cute. "Sorry, I just have a problem with staring at things I like. But yea I'm going to leave now." As I start to walk towards my next class,
"this is my spot," she said playfully with this grand smile on her face. She said in a sassy tone. In response to that I turn my thumb upside down denying the possibility of her taking the area, my area now.
As I was walking to class, I thought to myself "guess not everyone here is bad."
As I was walking into the classroom, I could clearly hear an argument between two females, it was Hermione who was arguing with Hinata. Rena noticed my presence so she announced it boldly,
"So you finally show up!?" I swear I could see fumes coming out of Hermione's ears.
"I just want to talk to him about helping us!" exclaimed Hinata. Hermione nearly rammed into Hinata as they argued with each other. Face to face. "He's helping me with something, so butt out princess!!"
" I could've helped you long ago, but ohh! you wanna act all high and mighty because a boy is involved, girl please!" The tension between them was basically making water boil. Rena tried to intervene but she was quickly dismissed. Until Hinata replies, her voice shaking,
" Look, I can kinda guess what you want, and I'm not saying it's not important .. b- but.. we have the same problem and goal."
If I had to guess, Hinata was going to say the same thing as Hermione. They were on the same page, but just at different points.
"That's-" I cut off Hermione in mid sentence,
"No your right, this school needs a cleansing of the Serpents, it will weaken them if we start here." Everyone was quiet, perhaps talking about this out loud was probably a bad idea.
"Look, we will talk about this after school at Cheesy burger," Hinata stated then Hermione nodded in agreement.
"Alrighty," seems like everyone is going to be fine, feels like the problem is solved.
Ohh how I wish I was right.
*9th period*
A young woman stands next to the men's washroom. She was your average girl in the normal everyday school. Light brown hair that was framed to her pretty face and a smaller uniform. She seemed to intentionally try to show off assets, it was the only reason she could be wearing a uniform two sizes two small hugging in all the right places and going further above her legs than the rest of the girls her age. She didn't wait for long, because the person she wanted to talk to came out of the bathroom. He is wearing a white and black vest with a white dress shirt and cufflinks. Along with a long yellow jacket and narrow eyes. It was Terumi.
"They're starting to make moves against you. Meeting after school at the Cheesy Berger." As she said the last part, she quickly vanished from his sight. After pondering for a second, Terumi grabbed his cell phone.
"Hey, those good for nothings are starting to make their move. .... just as planned. Pete, grab Jason and shake down Hinata's sister now. Call after you're done." He hangs up the phone and walks down the hallway.
Terumi lets out the most sinister laugh he can make. It was bone chilling to whoever heard.
"Now for the last player of the game." He smiled.
"Sosuke"
