True Colors

New Beginnings

The girls sat together in their assigned seats, grouped up as usual. No one was left out as they sat in groups of three and two. Eira, Natalie, and Fumuri all sat together laughing, with Fumuri and Eira occasionally bickering making Natalie slightly uncomfortable. Of course, this was normal for the group, however, she still had this off feeling that they might break out into a fist fight at any moment. 

Jaz, Kristina, and Anny sat together, occasionally bringing up random topics. However, Anny kept her head down and didn't care to participate in the topics brought up all that much, so she nuzzled her face in her arms and fell soundly asleep. The two girls giggled to themselves and pulled Anny's hood over her head to help her sleep more soundly. 

Rebekah and Nella sat together talking about life and its ups and downs, however, Rebekah began to sense that Nella was becoming uncomfortable due to the topic. She pulled out her calculator and typed in a number, placing it in front of Nella with the calculator upside down. Nella looked down at the calculator and groaned, putting her face in her hands, for on the screen spelled out the word "boobies." Rebekah laughed loudly, causing the other girls to stare. 

"Rebekah, why you have to be so loud?" Eira laughed as she asked the question.

"Why you gotta be so rude?! Don't you know I'm human too?!" She girl sang loudly, causing the whole class to sigh mentally.

"Class! Get to your seats. Eira, stop making a ruckus." Eira scowled at the teacher, turning to Rebekah to share the mutual hatred. 

"Alright class, my name is Mr. Robertson. I will be your Shakespearean teacher for this semester." The girls all reacted differently to the idea of the class, well school in general. Most of the girls tried their hardest to avoid class, claiming that they were sick or what not. However, a couple others were glad to have the new year start again, able to escape their hectic lives. 

"Today, we will be covering the syllabus and we will discuss the structure that William Shakespeare used in his works." The class groaned and Mr. Robinson sighed in response. The class dragged on and on, then having to go to a Mathematics class until they were all let out for lunch.

The group of eight sat together happily, gossiping about this and that. Rebekah, Eira, and Fumuri bickered back and forth about this and that, a favorite pass time. Nella and Anny were discussing assignments and how long they could realistically procrastinate for, while getting their work done. Then the other group of Jaz, Kristina, and Natalie were sharing songs with one another from their favorite groups. The atmosphere among the girls was cheerful and excited as they sat together, just happy to finally be a unified group at last.

Suddenly, a scream could be heard in the cafeteria. Girls began to flock to the doorways of the cafeteria for some unknown reason, making the group curious. 

"Should we go over there?" Fumuri peered in the direction of the commotion questioningly.

"I don't want to get trampled, so I'm out." Anny put her head down again, eager to stay out of harm's way. Eira, Rebekah, and Nella nodded in agreement as well.

"I'm checking it out, life is about taking chances!" Jaz stood up abruptly, puffing her chest in determination. Natalie shrugged and stood up along with Fumuri. Kristina looked between the two groups and groaned.

"Why am I always caught in the middle?" Bekah snorted in reply.

"Technically you're not in the middle, there can't really be a middle since- Ow!" Eira had smacked Rebekah on the arm, making the other jump while rubbing her arm.

"Be careful, try not to get hurt guys." Anny waved at them as the three began to walk away, causing Kristina to run after them, calling for them to wait up.

"I don't want to listen to these screams anymore though, everyone is so loud and I need my beauty sleep." Anny stretched as she stood up.

"You're beautiful Anny, shush." Nella scolded the older, following her outside to the other tables. Eira and Rebekah followed in pursuit, bumping into each other playfully. Little did they know that this school year wasn't going to be like the year prior's.
