Mystic High [Mystic Messenger AU]

[1] Strange People

My past is unknown. It could be anything. Anything and everything in the world. But now, I get to come here. New place. New people. New home. New everything. No one knows who I am or what my past is. It could be anything. I could be anyone.

But right now, I am Mary Catherine or MC for short.

I don't know much about this school. I just moved here and chose to go here out of sheer wonder. There have been many other schools that I could have chosen to go to but this school seemed special. It looked interesting and I just had to try it.

I walk in through the front gates and already see the huge booths welcoming new freshman. Suddenly, a whole rush of people walks in. Each of them is a new incoming freshman that looked excited to see this new school.

Instantly, like I predicted, I get lost. Unfortunately for me, my long light brown hair falls in front of my eyes as I am getting trampled by these people. I then lose my balance and fall into the sea of people.

Suddenly, a warm hand reaches out and pulls me toward a booth. I get frightened for a while before I look up to see who it was. I was an upperclassman dressed in very flashy clothing. He is really tall with long blonde hair that looks almost like white. I glance up to see what he was doing only to meet his interestingly red colored eyes.

I then notice a sign that says "Theater Club". With that, I suddenly understood the situation. He is dressed like that because he is advertising and he probably pulled me out to make me join.

"You looked almost like a princess in distress," he says with a laugh at his own jokes, "I guess that makes me the handsome prince."

I give a slight laugh. I didn't expect that greeting.

"Then again," He continues, "I do look prince like. Do I not?"

I stare at him in utter confusion and slowly nod my head.

"I guess," I answer kind of freaked out.

"Anyways," He continues, "You should join theater club and watch me, Zen, as the leads of all of the plays."

"...we'll see about that," I muttered awkwardly and quietly.

"What?" He asks confused.

I give him another slight smile and shuffle my hair out of my face.

"Oh, nothing..." I answer slowly inching away and back into the crowd.

In the background, I could hear him calling out to me.

"So, is that a yes?" He calls even though I'm long gone.

"Gosh, what a narcissist," I mutter to myself as I am pushing through the people. They look quite startled when I slip through them but I was really confused and annoyed after that first encounter.

Suddenly, I look over at the entrance to the cafeteria building to see a freshman like me trying to sneak by as people shuffle and kick him around. I decide to maybe go and help him. As I make my way over there, I find out that it is so much harder to get over there than I thought. The people here are really aggressive and there are so many of them too.

After I bump into many people and knock them down, I finally reach him. I hold a hand out for him to get up offer him a warm smile. Hopefully, he takes this as a friendly sign where I don't trample him like all of these other people. He looks at my hand then back at me. It looked like something clicked in his mind.

He reaches out to take my hand and we both run through the crowd together. We reach a resting point when we reached a small patch in front of a large door. This guy looks up at me with his purple eyes as he fixes the two clips in his blonde hair.

"Thanks, I think I would have gotten killed in that crowd," He says, "It was like a real life game of LOLOL! Well... all except the fact that I was being beaten. I'm usually good at that game."

I look at him as if he was crazy. He was getting pushed around by all those people and that is what he has to say. I guess he really enjoys his video games.

"Hey, do you play LOLOL?" He asks me. I hesitate to try to some up with an answer.

"Well... I've seen it around," I tell him.

"Really?!" He remarks, "Let's play together sometime."

"Um... sure..." I say confused. I've only seen the game and I don't know any of the controls so why does he sound like I just said I am a boss at it? Strange.

I started to back away before I hit another person. I looked back to see a really official looking girl carrying a bunch of papers.

"Oh, excuse me," I say giving her a bow, "I didn't see you there."

I looked up to see her response but instead, I see her eyeing the boy with blonde hair.

"Yoosung, what are you doing wandering off like that? Don't you think you will get lost in the crowd?" she says, "Of course, I couldn't watch over you because Jumin already had my schedule loaded..."

This upperclassman who seemed much more capable than her age mesmerized me. She should be the one that Yoosung should be looking up to. Not me. However, when I looked over at Yoosung, he seemed unfazed from the appearance of her character.

"Don't worry, Jaehee," He says carefreely pointing over to me, "She saved me!"

This capable looking girl, Jaehee, turns around and looks at me adjusting her glasses. She then bows formally with perfect posture and leverage.

"He must have caused you much trouble," She says, "You would think that he would grow up to be a proper high school student instead of this slacker. He had so much potential too..."

After this, she stood up and adjusted her glasses. Her brown hair was cut short complimenting her glasses making her look more official like. She turns around to Yoosung and picks him up! She is stronger than I expected.

"Come on, Jaehee," Yoosung wines, "Not now! I'm in high school now!"

"But you're still acting like this," Jaehee says with a sigh almost like a mother, "How troublesome."

As Jaehee starts to walk away with Yoosung on her shoulder, he looks back at me.

"Goodbye, for now!" He says waving to me with a grin that spread across his face. When Jaehee hears this, she turns around giving me a silent thank you nod. She didn't act like a normal high schooler. Was she a teacher? She is in a school uniform so I guess not. Strange.

This was already looking like an interesting school. Everyone says this school was good but it appears to be kind of strange to be so let's see how far I can go.
