Extra Terrestrial

Chapter 8

It was Sunday, and it was raining. It went along with my mood, I had school tomorrow. I felt bad for freaking out on my mom yesterday, she was just tryin to do her mother thing. I decided to go to school, for the sake of fitting in. Yet I was going to lay low and try not to bring a lot of attention to myself.

**************************************************************************************

I woke up about 6 am. My mom made a huge fuss and picked out my outfit and curled my hair. I thought this was going a bit far, but she insisted. We got to school at 7:30 and headed to the office. They did all the paperwork while I just sat there. When they were done my mom hugged me goodbye and I was whisked towards my class.

As I walked in all eyes turned towards me. They were blue, green, brown, and all different shades.

"Class, this is Elizabeth. She is our new student. Elizabeth, welcome to 9th grade! You can go have a seat next to Mary. Mary, raise your hand", the teacher said.

A red headed girl timidly raised her freckled hand. She looked shy, but smart. I shuffled over next to her and sat in the small desk. I could feel eyes on me, and I just tried to shake them off. As the class wore on I could feel the intense staring loosen, but instead I heard whispers.

"I wonder if she's nice!",one girl said.

"Wonder if she's that girl that was on the news, the one that was kidnapped!", some other person questioned. This started a frenzy. They kept glancing at me and nodding their heads. The bell rung and I quickly ran out of the classroom and glanced at my schedule. I walked towards the class and sat down in e back.

Before long more student walked in and took their seats. I got mysterious glances but no one came towards me, until a husky lookin guy strutted towards me.

"Get up.", he commanded.

I stared at him. "Excuse you?"

"That's my seat. Get up."

By now all the faces where turned towards us. Where was the teacher??

"I was here first."

"Get up. Now. Do you not know who I am?"

I shook my head.

"You must be the new girl everyone is talking about. You can add 'sassy' to the whispers. Anyways, I'm Darius. I'm the toughest guy in school, and that's my seat. I suggest you get up!"

"Tough eh? ", I said. I stood up and grabbed his hand and flipped him on his back. He lay there groaning as the teacher walked in.

"Elizabeth!!", he screamed. The classmates were staring at me in shock.

"Office, now!" he commanded and I ran to the office. The teacher came in and explained what she saw.

"What do you have to say?", the principle asked.

"It was self defense! He threatened me!", I answered.

"Now we are getting somewhere. How did he threaten you?"

"Well, he said I took his seat and said that he suggested I get up. HE said he was the toughest guy in school, so I got up and flipped him over."

The principle's face was blank.

"Well, since there was not an actual threat, just continue your day as usual. I will let you off the hook since today is your first day, but DON'T let it happen again.", he said as he waved me away. I shuffled to the classroom.

*****************************************

After that people came up to me and complimented me on standing up for myself.

"I would never do anything like that!"

"You beat up Darius Rucker! You are so cool!"

"Wanna sit with us at lunch?"

So much for staying on the down-low. I was glad school ended that day.

****************************************

"How was school honey?", mom asked as I plopped down on the couch.

"Horrible. I beat up a kid and everyone kept talking to me. I didn't want to be noticed..", I replied.

She stared at me in shock."You beat up a kid?"

"Yeah. But he's ok.", I said as I shrugged. I walked to my bedroom to signal this conversation was over.

****************************************

That night I practiced physical and mental fighting. Porg said I needed to get stronger in those two fields, in case they had to have the plan early. He said after I was strong enough in those two areas, he would teach me mind erasing. I looked forward to it. Before I left I told him about Darius.

"I beat up a kid at school today."

"Really? Did you hurt them?"

"No, just knocked the breath out of him. Now everyone won't stop talking to me."

"Did you use mind control? You could make them go away. Or after you learn mind erasing you could do that. But you would have to do it to the whole school, considering rumors spread like wildfire."

"Too much work. Well, it's 4:30 am, I should head home. I have school now. Ugh. See ya Porg!"

He waved and I bounded home.
