"Goodmorning class!" The teacher yelled as she walked in the room. The students groaned in response. "I would like you to meet our new student joining us today'" she motioning to me. I mentally slapped her. I hated when people made a big deal about something so small. And me, I prefered to stay in the shadows.
"Class, this is Sumora Nakumora." She said with a smile. Who the hell smiles that much in the morning.
"Ivory," I corrected her. She gave me a confused look. "I mean yeah legally my name is Sumora but I go by Ivory."
She nodded. "Rylie darling!" A girl with long blonde curls turned around. "Would you be a dear and guide Nakumora today? We dont want her to be alone." Rylie nodded,
"Yes of course Mrs. Henley." She said with a smile.
I made my way to the back of the class and hung my bookbag on the bag of the chair beside Rylie. She was talking to two girls, one who had bright pink long wavy hair and the other girl had long brown hair with obviously fake highlights. Rylie glanced up at me,
"What kind of name is that? Sumora Nakumora? I mean honestly, it ryhmes!" She said with a roaring laugh. I glared at her,
"An original name, unlike yours." I retorted back, sitting down. Rylie jumped up out of her seat, almost flashing me. Her uniform skirt was up so far it barely covered anything. She then stormed out of the room.
Pinkie rolled her eyes. "Ignore Rylie. Shes always moody. Oh! Sorry I forgot to introduce myself," Her cheeks were turning an un-natural shade of pink. "Im Ichiko." She said with a smile, "Kanade Ichiko. You can call me Kanade if you want."
I nodded, giving her a small smile. The other girl stuck her hand in mine. "Im Allora West. Rylie's cousin. We're both from America, which might explain the accents... but like uhm yeah." She said with a nervous giggle.
These people were really friendly. I wasnt entirely sure how i felt about that but i was glad about how i wouldnt be alone at boarding school.
"So, whats an interesting fact about you?" Kanade asked.
"Well... i have an identical twin named Yuri.... most people find that interesting."
"Ohmigoshness thats so amazing!" Allora squealed leaning over the desk, while propping her chin up on her palms. Her uniform jacket wasnt fully buttoned which revealed more than i wanted to see. I leaned back, sheilding my eyes.
"Uhm yeah.... even though shes technically my other half, we arent even close to being the same." I opened my fingers slightly to see that Allora had sat back down, so i layed my hand back in my lap.
"What about you guys?" I asked. Kanade tilted her head to the side then stared back at me,
"I like being a rebel and standing out. I mean honestly i cant do much since we have uniforms, but i use my hair and make it like a giant art project to show who i really am." She said. By the way she talked, aith awe in her voice, you could tell she was passionate. I smiled, but Allora just rolled her eyes,
"Like that blue and pink catastrophe last semester?" She said with a smirk. Kanade's face turned bright red,
"You stupid bitch!" She yelled standing up, whirling towards Allora, "I told you to never fucking mention that!!" Kanade was obviously pissed. But Allora was laughing her butt off. I laughed, as see Kanade mad was quite funny.
After a few minutes Kanade had calmed down, but was refusing to speak to Allora.
"So, Allora," i said turning towards her, "whats interesting about you?"
"Youll find out soon enough." She said with a wink and a smirk. Thats when we heard the the ear-splitting screech from the hall. Mrs. Henley stood up and ran into the hall. The students all swarmed after her, and i followed.
As soon as the hallway a horrible scent hit me in the face. Across the walls 'H8 Is Gr8' was spraypainted in red. But the way it ran, it looked like blood was mixed with it.
Thats when i saw her. A girl hanging from the ceiling. Her long brown curls were messy and blood-streaked. She had a uniform jacket that was un-buttoned to where her stomach was showing. She had a large gash down her side, and the same symbolization across the walls was across her stomach. Her uniform skirt was yanked down onto her thighs, and her tall socks were wrinkled and folded. Her shoes were no-where to be seen.
"Who is she...." i whispered to Kanade.
"Sh-she's....the star student, Tachibana....." she whispered, her voice shaking. Allora was breaking down,
"We arent safe! We were never safe! Theyre gonna kill us all!" She shrieked, clawing a boys arm. I looked to Kanade,
"Whats she talking about?" I asked her. Fear had over taken my entire body. And my heart-beat was as loud as a bass drum.
Kanade looked up at me, her blue eyes covered in fear,
"This isnt the first time this has happened."
