SHARD (A Sci-Fi Fantasy Story)

Chapter Four

As soon as I grabbed my bag, I made my way out of the door. And to the side walk where the bus stop sign was placed, good thing it was close to our house because I couldn't stand walking far alone.

It was about 3 minutes that gone bye and finally the school bus arrived. I went in and quickly searched for a vacant seat, As I stood there and made my way through the bus I've felt their eyes on me which much likely to be uncomfortable. As soon as I spotted a vacant seat at the back row I immediately sat down. There were 2 seats, and that's a good thing co'z I'm not very good sitting next to people, I'd rather be alone or with someone I'm close with..

After a 5 minute drive the bus stopped, and for a second there I thought we're already at school then I looked at the window..We were infront of a house a big house almost like a mansion. I thought to myself, Why would a person with a house like that be riding a school bus to school?. I spotted a garage beside of the house, there must be a car inside that garage..so why don't you use it to go to school?

While I was questioning myself..A boy probably the same age as I am was already infront..He was probably a transferee co'z I've never seen him before and I don't remember stopping in this part of town whenever I ride the school bus. The boy searched for a seat in the bus and started to walk towards my direction. The first thing I thought was that he was gonna seat down next to Stacey or McKaylee, the schools most popular siblings that were infront of me. They always get what they want and a river of boys always follow them wherever they go. I don't know how they pull up with it..but I sure wouldn't dream being them. I was shocked to see that this new boy passed them without even looking, they were all so gorgeous..They're all the guys at schools dream that someday they can proudly call them their girlfriends. He continuously walked around still in the direction I was. All the time I was wishing to myself..Please don't sit here..Please don't sit here..Please don't sit here.. But I guessed it was up to the gods for he was now infront of me..well not exactly infront but beside me ..

"May I?" as he raised his eyebrows at me asking if he can seat beside me. That was the time when he was actually looking at me that I can clearly see he's face.. He was so handsome and yet he has this look of innocence in him. He repeated his question as I realized I was staring directly at him "Yeah, sure" I say as I took my bag out of the vacant seat..I wanted to talk to him and ask his name but my shyness took over..So we just sat there in silence until the bus stopped and we're already at school..finally

I walked out of the bus and saw Meredith walking towards me as I got off.. We walked together and she informed that there would be a casting call for the schools Spring Musical . As we walked to the lockers..I'm just so glad that my best friend's locker was right next to mine.

 The bell rang throughout the school, it means we have to go to first period now.." Hey, its time for class, we better get going or we'll be late" she suggested as she looked at her wrist watch, "Oh,you go ahead..I'll be there in a sec" I said to her as I spotted the new kid having troubles with his locker, "Suit yourself" she shrugged "See you there" she said as she waved goodbye to me started walking.

I waited until Meredith was out of sight and slowly approach the boy "Hey" I smiled at him carrying my books "Oh Hi!" he greeted back..damn that hot british accent.."I see your having trouble over here" I chuckled as he he scratched his head answering me "Yeah, uhm..It wont budge..and I'm gonna late for class" he said with a worried town but still keeping it cool "here let me help you" I offered and handed my books to him..I scanned the surrounding to see if anyone was looking..when the coast is clear, I quietly bumped the locker not that hard but strong enough just so the rusted mechanism inside the lock will move..

I looked back at him with my hand out directing him to give me the key to his locker, he just look at me with a confused look "The key" I said to him as it was already obvious.."The key?" he said with a shocked and bewildered expression stapled onto his face "Yeah..the key? The key you used to try opening your locker? that key" I spoke with slight pinch of annoyance at his ignorance.. tsk..so much for Mr. Handsome ..." Oh you mean the key Mr. Sprouse gave me?" I nodded with my arms now crossed together.."Ohh..so that's what it was for..I thought it was just a mistake..I was gonna return it back to him today..but I left it at home" damn this boy was getting on my nerves..I rolled my eyes at sighed "How can you forget it at home? doesn't your school have lockers too?" I questioned him .." Of course we do.." he said as if it was obvious..but no..no it isn't. If he's old school had lockers did they also used keys to open them or have a passcode or something.." Then you must know that you need a key to open this thing right?" I pointed at the his locker beside me "No." .."No? What do you mean No?"..what does he mean no?.. "Well we have lockers but we don't need a key to open and close them..they're voice recognition activated..We just say OPEN and it opens, We say Lock and it locks itself" where did this boy go to before ending up here?..It seems like the school he went too was awesome and hi-tech.. "Ohh.." I said in an embarrassed tone..I guessed I shouldn't have judged the guy so quickly.." Well then I guess there's no way you could put your stuff there today..You'll just have to carry them around today " I chuckled ..looking at his bag it looks like it was about to blow.. He sighed loudly but in the cutest way possible.

"So..what's your first period?"..I asked. He reached out from his bag a piece of paper..I figured it was his schedule. "Uhmm..Chemistry and.. its rigHT NOW?!" he answered me, freaking out when he realized he was gonna be late for class " Hey..hey..calm down, your not the only one who will be late for their class with Mr. Sprouse"..I reassured him " Wait..your class is with Mr. Sprouse too.?!..Ha! That's great ..we can be both late" he smirked at me "Who says were gonna be late?" I challenged him as I ran my fastest to get to class.."Hey wait!" He quickly followed me, as we ran through the hallway trying our best not to get caught by the Hallway Monitor.

Author's Note

Okey, so I really can't remember my idea for this chapter so I just made up a new one. And this chapter is kinda an intro for _ _ _ _ , who will be a very important/special part of Ciara's life, in and out of the school. The reason why he's special you ask? Its because-..

Nope not gonna tell you. You must find it out for yourself as you read through the book (:

If you're wondering what _ _ _ _ means..Its the new boy's name. I won't tell his name for now so I just left it like that..You have a clue right there that I left,his name comprises 4 letters..It will be known in the Next Chapter..But for now you may comment your guesses
