Chapter 2 - First Day Of School

Y/N's Point Of View

Aphmau, Y/N! mom yelled turning on the lights.

"Nooo.." Aphmau groaned still half asleep. She wasn't a morning person.To be fair I wasn't one either. I also wasn't a mid day person. I liked night time though there's no people around it's just so perfect.

Y/N wake up its time to get up!! mom said sing-songy in my ear. So I threw my alarm clock in her direction. Geez Mija you didn't have to do that! I'll get you up after Aphmau just no more throwing things. Whatever I mumbled.

Aphmau, get up! Come on!" Mom told Aph while I was in bed dreaming peacefully.

" Mom, just like, five more minutes, then I promise I'll get up." Aphmau said annoyed at how early it was.

"You always say that, and it turns into 20 minutes, if not the whole day. Now get your butt out of bed!" Mom said. That was true one day Mom made me go to school without Aph for that exact reason.

"Okay, okay! I'm awake. I just need like, fi' mo' minutes to rest my eyes." Aphmau said shielding her eyes from the light.

Fine. Sleep in. Such a shame y'all are going to be late for your first day of high school. And yesterday Aphmau was so excited, too. *tsk* Oh, well." Mom said knowing that would get Aph up.

"Mooomm, today isn't even— *Gasps* It's the first day of school! Oh! I'm so excited! ... *Giggles* Backpack, check! Pencils, Check! College ruled paper, ...Mm, check! Stuffed animal?... Pfft! No! *Scoffs* I'm a high school freshman now! I need to be cool. Mmh... sorry, Honekoneko. Uniform, check! *Giggles* This is going to be awesome! My first day of high school! I can't wait to go to my classes and make a first impression! Ah, I've been preparing all summer for this moment! Nothing is going to stand in my way of making new friends and awesome grades— Nothing, I tell you!" Aphmau yelled and then cackled maniacally. I knew her confidence wasn't going to last long though.

I saw her face turn darker and she bolted into the closet and closed the door.

Aphmau starts crying through the closet. "I don't wanna goooooo." she wined.

Soon after mom comes in and tries to talk to Aph.

"Aphmau? ...Aphmau? Are you crying in the closet again?" she asked her.

"N-no!" Aphmau stammered out.

Sometimes I wish you had claustrophobia because of these little hiding spats you have." Mom said after sighing and walking in. "Tell mama what's wrong" she said.

Aphmau:" Mom, I'm scared...I-I don't want to go to high school anymore." Aphmau stuttered. I admit it I wasn't surprised because she has been really confident and hasn't been nervous which kind of concerned me. So now that she's letting it all out the peace has been restored.

What!? But sweetheart, you've been so excited for this since we've moved back here" Mom said sounding really surprised.

Aphmau: "I know, but Mom, I've been homeschooled for what seems like ever." Aphmau overexaggerated.

"Calm down sweetie, it was just a year." Mom said I snickered.

"Still, even before then at my old middle school I didn't really talk to anyone. I haven't seen another kid my age in person in a year." Aphmau said. I'd like to point out that it was her decision to stay indoors. I went on a walk three times a week to stay healthy. She played her stupid online game.

"Well, I tried to get you to go out, but you wanted to stay inside and play your internet games. At least Y/N went out a few times a week." mom said then Aphmau mumbled under her breath how I always got what I wanted i was going to

protest but then Mom started speaking again. "Mija look... you're going to be fine. Sure, it's going to be a new experience for you and a lot of kids probably won't like you very much because you're really annoying sometimes..." HAHAHAHAHA I laughed pretty loudly. They both stopped and glared at me. "Y/N sweetheart, please go get ready." Mom said sweetly. Nah I'm good I wanna see what happens next. I argued. NOW she said sternly. now I know she meant business so I walked away to go put on my uniform and hide an outfit in my bag cause I was thinking about skipping later.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY GARROTH'S REAL GIRLFRIEND *wink *wink~

By the time I got out Mom was telling Aph her number one rule.

Sylvanna: "Great, see you tonight. Have a great first day. Oh, and don't talk to any boys, they're nothing but trouble. Bye!" Mom said walking out too fast for me to protest.

"Okay well that eliminates half the people in school I can actually talk to, heh. Ugh. Even though mom gave me some really sweet advice. Ugh. Well, here goes nothing." Aphmau said talking to herself. That happens a lot I don't talk much but Aphmau talks to herself. I don't really mind it makes me feel safer keeping most of my thoughts in my head.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY ZUZURELLA (Zane) AND PRINCE CHARMING (Garroth)~

We made it to the school and Aphmau pulled out her phone.

"Hmm, this is it. I can do this. But first, let me take a selfie. Ha! Perfect." Aphmau says as she takes the picture.

Aphmau suddenly bumps into a guy with black hair I didn't see his face cause he was on Aphmau's side.

"Ugh." the black haired Stranger said before walking off.

"Hey, watch where you're going. What a jerk! Anyway, let's see. I want to make sure that posted right. Um ..." Aphmau says checking her Instagram. "Here we go. Perfect. Okay well, I guess we better get to class. There's so many people here. Uh-huh. All right..." Aphmau said trying to open the doors. I facepalmed because of how stupid she is. Mom told us a week ago all about this school even about the doors that open later. "What? How come the doors are locked? D-did they forget to open it on the first day?" Aphmau said slightly panicked. Okay she was really panicked.

Suddenly a girl with brown hair and a golden sash walks up to Aphmau. Probably to tell her the doors won't open until later.

"Hehe, I'm assuming you're freshman?" tge girl said from behind Aphmau.

Aphmau jumps a little and says "Huh?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Jumpy one, eh?" the girl says again I have a feeling they're going to be friends later on. I don't need friends they're just going to let me down anyways though.

"Um, sorry, this door is locked." Aphmau told the brown haired girl. Here comes the boring explanation.

"Don't worry about that. Don't bother. They usually lock the doors on the first day here." she explained. Yep I called it.

"Oh, I see." Aphmau said barely understanding.

"Then they'll let everyone flood in and bam! Chaos everywhere." Teony said loudly. I live for chaos can't wait to see it.

Aphmau: "That sounds weird." Aphmau told the girl.

The brown haired girl seemed to ignore her and say something else. "You're really nervous. You're shaking a lot." she said to Aphmau. Great you weirded her out I mumbled so she wouldn't hear me.

"I'm sorry, you're really the first person I've seen in a year." Aphmau said. I don't think that made it any better.

Teony was surprised and jumped back "Whoa, wow. What does that mean? Someone keep you in a dungeon or something?" Seems she got the wrong Idea.

"No it's not like that. I mean I was home-schooled." Aphmau explained.

"That. Sounds. Awesome. Getting to stay home every day. Best school ever!" It was but Aphmau just HAD to go to public school. And leave my virtual homeroom behind.

"It's more lonely than anything but, heh..." That's your fault Aphmau.

"Uhuh, that poor smile is cute. Cheer up, freshman. You'll get the hang of things in no time." brown haired girl said to cheer Aph up. Is that flirting? I wouldn't know I don't know a lot about that kind of stuff.

"Uh, um... hey. Would you want to be my friend?"

Aphmau asked before a teacher interrupted.

"Teony, Miss Peacock is looking for you." the teacher said. So that's her name huh?

"What! Already? The school isn't even open yet." Teony exclaimed.

"She needs you right now. Something about missing papers for homeroom." Tge Teacher said again.

Teony: "*Sigh I bet she's not wearing her glasses. Those papers are probably right in front of her, too. *Groans Ugh, fine, I'm on my way now. Sorry freshman. I'm a teacher's aid and I need to help my teacher right now." Teony explained to Aphmau.

"Um.. Ok ..." Aph said not having a clue on what was happening.

"just keep your head high and you'll be fine. See you around cutie." she says while walking off.

"Uh, wait, what? Can I go with you? Yeah, never mind. She seems so nice and confident. I wonder if she was an upper classmen, or maybe she was like some kind of super freshman who took a summer class or something..." Aphmau says looking around the school grounds. "Um, everyone's in a group and we're the only ones without someone to talk to. School starts in 10 minutes, so we have to sit alone until then? Oh no. I don't know. Everyone's gonna look at me and— So just like is there somewhere I can go I..." Aphmau says rambling while I was watching as she bumped into a blonde guy.

"Ah!" Aphmau yelled quietly.

"Eh— Er, Hey, are you okay?" Blondie asked her.

"I'm so sorry. I'm fine. I just— I didn't mean to run into you— huh?" Aphmau starts before looking at him she probably fell into his "I'm good looking" spells.

"You should really watch where you're stepping next time. It really could have been a nasty spill for you." Blondie said again. Ooh that would've gone viral!! I should've had my phone out.

Aphmau just stared at him while I watched from behind.

"Hello? Are you okay?" Blondie asked trying to snap her out of her thoughts.

"Uh, you cool. Thanks for help me. Heh." Aphmau said still under his spell. Once she said that I officially burst out laughing. OH MY IRENE APHMAU!! I said in-between laughing.

He looked up at me and I was surprised he actually noticed me. What's your name? he asked me. That's classified Blondie! I said snickering. He rolled his eyes and went back to Aphmau.

"D-do you need to go to the nurse's office or something?" Garroth stuttered out.

"Uh, uh, It's my first day." Aphmau says nervously.

"Oh, pp. No wonder you're acting all weird." he said trying to put everything together.

"Yes, that's totally the reason why I'm acting weird. heh heh. Thanks for catching my fall." Aphmau said to him.

"No problem. You really just ran to me. You should watch where you're going." he told her. He sounds really boring.

"I-I will." Aphmau stuttered again.

"Take care. See you around." Garroth said speedwalking away.

Kid your gonna be the talk of the school soon I just know it. I said nudging her shoulder. As if! Our life isn't just some TV show people can watch. N/N. "Whatever" I mumbled.

Soon a pink haired girl walked up to Aph.

"Wow. Didn't you look pathetic? Drooling all over him." the girl said.

"Huh, me?" Aphmau said clueless of what's going on.

"Well of course you. I saw you play that innocent freshman act." The girl said again. She has an annoying high pitch voice that makes me wanna stab her with a fork.

Aphmau looked startled. "What? I didn't..." Aphmau started before Ms. Annoying Voice cut her off.

"Look...I don't have time to deal with you. Just know that Garroth Ro'meave is off limits. Okay? So, don't get any ideas.I didn't appreciate that. I dont care about the Aphmau thing but she just thinks she can step all over anyone and everyone. Not anymore. I wanna show her who's in charge of this school now. So I did the most mature thing a high schooler can do. I tripped her. HOW DARE YOU DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!? She lectured. Yeah I do.....an idiot. I shot back. She calmed herself down and just glared at me. Later Freshman she said with disgust in her voice.

Aphmau: "I have a name you know. Ugh, who's that girl think she is? Aphmau said after that thought the bell rang. "I, huh the bell? It didn't feel like ten minutes at all. Oh! I have no idea where to go, do I just follow the crowd? Oh... I guess I do." Aphmau said walking with me walking behind her inside of the school

l

*Sighs "This looks, uh, really confusing. Where am I supposed to go? What do I do first?"

Aphmau glances at a teacher and walks toward it. As I decide to go pick up My packet.

When I finally grab my packet I see that Aphmau is already in line so I just head to first period.

I decided making a good impression was for lovers so I waited a while until I walked in surprisingly I saw Aphmau at the classroom with a hot guy with brunette hair.

We both walked into the classroom and were about to find seats until the teacher scolded us.

"Ugh, Stop, wait, let me guess. the teacher said.

"I'm so sorry, I don't know this place very well and I—" Aphmau started but got cut off by the teacher.

"The cliche 'I'm late because I'm new' excuse right? You're lucky today's the first day and that you're freshman. The school sent out the orientation package during the summer and—" the teacher said but this time Aphmau cut him off.

"I was home schooled!" she yelled.

"Oh, I see. Well then, I won't give you flak for that. What's your name? he asked Aph.

"It's Aphmau—" the teacher cut her off AGAIN. That's going to get annoying.

Oh, I see your name. Very unique. Now, take a seat. the teacher told her.

What's your excuse miss? he asked me.

I don't have one I just didn't wanna come early. I said not caring what he had to say. Well it's the first day of school so I'm not going to give you detention but if it happens again you will be punished. he scolded. Now take a seat we're just about done calling roll. Now, let's see. Nicole von Ronsenburg? the teacher said. I nodded and rolled my eyes

"Present!" a red headed said.

"Kawaii~Chan?" the teacher called out.

It's most likely a meifwa

"Present!" A pink haired meifwa said excitedly.

"Travis Valkrum?" The teacher said looking at his clipboard.

"P-present!" the white haired boy Aphmau is sitting with stuttered.

Y/N- he started before I cut him off. I'm here stop reading move along I said. He nodded containing how frustrated he was because of that.

"And last, Zane Ro'meave?" the teacher called out.

"Ugh. Here." that emo kid I'm sitting next to said.

"Ro'Meave? Are you related to—" the teacher started before Zane cut him off.

"Yes, *sigh I am." he mumbled.

"You've got a big name to live up to. I expect great things from you. the teacher called out looking at him.

Ugh. he said looking away. I sort of felt bad for the guy he was probably put in his siblings shadow. When me and Aph were in the third grade everyone called me Aphmau's little sister it really doesn't feel good. That's why I don't want anyone to know my last name.

All right, class. You can all mingle, and then we'll head on over to the club social." he explained.

I decided to work up the courage to talk to the Zane kid. Hi? I said not really confident but was able to get it out there. Hey he said playing with two pencils on his desk while I played the drums with my fingers. Sooo What do you like to do for fun? I asked trying to lighten the mood. I like playing video games or watching my brothers suffer he said. Really? I like watching my sister suffer too!! I said rejoicing inside knowing that I didn't have a problem. Well that's one thing we have an common he said before returning back to his phone. I decided not to ask anything else he looked annoyed when I asked him the first thing.

Who knew socializing would be hard.....
