Stranger Things Part 3

Chapter 1 | The New Girl

Leon decided to take me to school today and I was okay with it since his car was pretty great. He dropped me off and I quickly got off the car, his music was blasting so some people were staring and I felt my face growing hot and getting red. "Have a great day at school sweetie" he mocked. I laughed "Shut the hell up" followed by me flipping him off. "Hey! Watch it. Mom could see you and we'd both outta get in trouble" he said. "She won't even bother to watch us Leon, she thinks we don't even get along or talk to each other. We're fine" "Okay just remember what I said" I quickly shut the door closed and pulled my backpack over my shoulder. I could hear his car pull away as I started walking and making my way inside. School reminded me of some book I read, which I got bored of and threw it away. I walked to my locker, avoiding contact from anyone and quickly put stuff I didn't need in there. Soon enough the bell rang and everyone was headed to class. The talking and laughter made me nervous and I got anxious as I walked into class and saw new faces. I looked around for an empty seat and started to walk when I heard a voice. "Oh there you are!" I turned and in front of me, a tall man was standing and gave me a welcoming look. "Take a seat right over there" he instructed and pointed at a desk beside a skinny kid with dark hair. I let out a silent groan and sat next to the boy. The teacher started talking but nobody was paying attention. "A test!?!? Already!?" I turned to see who the hell was screaming and it was a boy with curly brown hair. "Yes Mr. Henderson. It's about what we've been learning about. Now let me call role and say here when I call your name" the teacher said. After a few names he finally got to mine. "Natalia..... Kayusuma?" he mispronounced. I felt embarrassment getting to me as I sat straight and corrected "Koizuma..here.." Everyone turned to look at me and I tried not to get red. "My apologies Miss Koizuma" He continued. A boy looking at me caught my attention and I looked at him from across the room. He smiled and I didn't want to seem bitchy so I smiled back then returned my attention to the teacher. Tests were passing around and I finally got to mine. "Natalia" he bothered again. 'Yes sir?" I asked. "Don't know where you came from but you may not know this stuff. It's fine because you can always come to me and Ill be here to help." I heard laughter from a group of girls and whispering. "Well." I started. "I came from Texas and was homeschooled my whole life. Not a big difference besides the fact I don't need to wait on anyone to move onto the next lesson. By the looks of this test.. it seems like I know most of this stuff. Reckon' I could pass and get a higher score then everyone here?" He grew silent and I saw the class waiting to see what he would say. 'Well then. You all may start" he walked away. I was the first to finish my test and after what seemed like endless hours, the bell finally rang and I walked out the classroom. Quickly, I shoved my backpack in my locker and walked outside with everyone else. I looked around at groups of friends and continued walking as someone shoved me and I almost lost my balance. I turned to a group of girls with one main one which was obviously the one that pushed me. "Whats you problem??" "You should go back to being homeschooled. Clearly you don't belong here. Lets name her girls." they laughed. "I don't want problems with your ass" I guess she got offended when I said that because I could see her anger as she put both hands on my shoulder and roughly pushed me to the ground. I landed on my side hip and sat up. A guy with straight black hair ruined over. "Leave her alone Alyssa" he said. "Come on we were having some fun" Alyssa laughed. "I said to go!" 'Gosh" he mumbled and kicked my leg then walked away with her group. "Need a hand?" he smiled and held out his hand. I grabbed ahold of it and pulled myself up. A dark boy, redhead, two kids I saw earlier and a girl with short hair came along. "You okay?" the nice guy asked. "Im fine" I replied. "Good. Im Mike. These are my friends, Lucas" the dark boy waved "Dustin" the curly haired guy smiled "Will" the guy who smiled at me in class waved "And Ele- Jane." "The girl with the short hair stayed silent and gave me a look. Lucas nudged Mike's shoulder and glanced over at the redhead. "What?" Mike asked. Lucas sighed and the red head said "Im Max.." she smiled. "Nice to meet you all.. Im Natalia. But you can call me Talia" I smiled. "Typically known as 'the new girl' and thanks for stopping by" "We all have our nicknames which people call us" Will said. "Well YOU do" Dustin added. Will looked down."What do they call you?" "Zombie boy" Dustin said as I tilted my head in confusion. "Its a long story" Lucas then added. "I saw you in the morning" Max interrupted. "You have an older brother?" "Yeah he's in high school. "Me too!" Mike added. "Well my sister but... I wonder if they're in the same grade. Whats his name?" "Leonardo.." I responded. I glanced over at Jane and she seemed like she was observing every little detail about me. I was weirded out but I noticed her arm. She had the number "011" printed in black. I gulped and knew exactly who and what she was. She pulled Mike aside and I bit my lip then talked more to the rest of the group.
