The School of Hyshin

1-1 Kione

I sit up on my bed and it creaks a bit, a few strands of my deep brown hair fall into my face. I sighed heavily before rising from my mattress. I stumble to my closet and my aniexty begins. The uniform hangs over a metal folding chair next to my dresser.  I go to grab it and notice my hands shaking, my heart pounding. 

I clenched my stomach with one hand as I grabbed the white dress shirt. I breath deeply and take the next clothing item, a black felt jacket, they didn't require you to wear it in the summer but I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. 

I slipped it on starting at the left arm and finishing with my right arm. I take another breath as I pull up the black skirt, it goes a up past my knees considering my tall stature. I finish off my look with black knee high sock and a gray hair ribbon. 

A voice calls my name from downstairs "Kione!" Yunane shouts I look down to see that she again managed to get the door open, she runs up the stairs and takes my hand.

"I don't wanna go." I complain in my natural monotone voice. The aniety starts to get worse as I'm dragged out of the door.

Yunane already held my bag with her ghastly white hands,

"I don't have shoes on.." I point out, Yunane pauses and walks back to the door still holding my wrist tightly. 

She glares violently at me as I slip on my shoes, "I'm making sure you don't run away." she states reading my expresion.

"I won't, please let go you're hurting me." I say to her.

She sighs and lets go of me, brushing her fingers through her fluffy pink hair.

It's the kind of hair that you just want to pet like shes a cat, I'll have to remember to draw her as a cat. We start walking down the sidewalk and my phone vibrates in my pocket, I pull it out and see a text from Tenshi. We're not the greatest of friends and have falle out of touch over the summer, it's rare to see her text me. 

I slide the notification and type my password.

"I'm super nervous for our first day of high school >~<" She texts me

"Me too" I answer back

The three dots pop up right away with a notification saying read.

"We're definently gonna be he most popular girls in school!" The gray message bar appears.

"Well we weren't popular in Middle school so I'm not sure."

"At least we'll get hot boyfriends"

"I'm not all to into boys"

"Oh yeah your whole bi thing and liking girls more."

"It's not a phase this is the real me mom!" I joked around .

"XD I'm at school now so I'll see you later."

"Bye"

I close my phone and turn to Yunane, she was reading my messages. I didn't mind much, we were best friends and she deserved to know what was going on in my life.

"Texting Tenshi again." She said in a sour tone like a girlfriend who saw her boy texting another ho.

"Yeah, she's being all girly again" I reply as we make our way to the school.

I enter the familiar building and go to my locker. We had a day to come in and find our classes and our lockers so I knew my way around most the school. It was also where we had band practice. I opened my locker after typing the combonation and put my felt jacket inside. The school air conditioning was broken so most students didn't wear theirs. I gathered my books and continued to my first class. 

A shortish girl bumped into my shoulder and dropped her books in fear. She had a strange color of hair, a blue-green with two buns like pigtails. I crouched down and handed her one of her books

"T-thank you.." She stutters blushing and quickly runs off.

What a shy little girl I think as she looks down not paying attention to her surroundings. She has it worse than me, she turns around embarassed and comes back my direction into my homeroom. I decided to help her out and sit next to her.

"Sorry about bumping into you." I say as I take a seat.

"O-oh no It was all me." She says both surprised and scared 

Before I have time to say something else a middle aged woman comes to the front of the classroom. 

"Hello, my name is Ms. Butterson"

a few giggles bubble up in the back of the class

Ms. Butterson clears her throat and continues, "I teach History and I'm happy to be your teacher here today." She had a lazed tone, and seemed entirely out of it that day. "Anyways, lets just skip to attendance" She moved the front sheet of papers in her hands to the back and clears her throat again.

"Juniper Aji..." she reads off, "...Kaeden Harley," 

A boy with blond hair, almost white, raises his hand in the back of the classroom, "Here" he says calmly and continues to read his book, 

"Please put down your book and pay attention up here." She commands and walks over to confiscate the book.

He eaisly gives it up and rests his head on his fist making his glasses have a wonky position.

"Also, I prefer Kae" He says as she walks away

Noted," The teacher says and makes a mark on the paper then continues, "...Kione Skia,"

I raise my hand and confidently announce my presence with a here. A few students look at me and one almost falls out of his chair when we wakes up.

"...Masumi Wenikolu" 

  The shy girl next to me raised her hand and quietly spoke, the teached looked at her and set down the papers.

"Alright now let's begin." She smiled warmly for the first time we all met her.
