A Fish out of Water

Chapter Two:

I was in a strange building with even stranger people in it, at first people were huddled in pods like whales. Then when an annoying sound played they all dispersed and went in different directions. "Here you go Robyn, print your full name and write on this line what you'd prefer to be called." Mrs. Smith handed me a piece of paper.

I wrote down the full name that Mrs. Smith had created for me. Robyn Fae Jones. When I went to put down my first name bestowed upon me by someone else I had a quick and painful headache and I could see a name. I wrote it down. It was Srra.

"How do you pronounce that?" Mrs. Smith asked.

"Sir-ra." I sounded out slowly for Mrs. Smith. She repeated what I said and said it perfectly.

"Well I like it." Approved Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith and I did some more paperwork and then we left for the day. I was told that I would be able to attend classes at Southside High tomorrow at the same time as everyone else.

I spent the day reading and brushing up on some topics that I would be learning at school, I memorized everything easily. When Theo arrived home with his sister I ran to the door and greeted them. "I was so booored Theo. After you're done with schoolwork can we do something fun?"

Theo chuckled. "I can't today, I have to meet up with some friends but maybe you should bond with my little sister Millie."

His little sister looked me up and down and grunted her approval. "I should be done in thirty minutes. I'll come grab you when I'm done." Millie stated.

"Alright, I'll just go study some more Italian and French then!" I giggled. Millie rolled her eyes and left for her room.

"You've been studying Italian and French?" Theo asked in disbelief.

"Not only Italian and French, but other subjects as well. I have to be all caught up when I go to school with you tomorrow!" I turned on my heel and happily skipped into the guest room to study Italian and French.

It took awhile for Millie to finish but as soon as she was done she came to the guest room and knocked on the door. I opened the door. "What are we going to do today Millie?" I asked excitedly.

"We're going to a birthday party, and try not to act so...excitable. It's supposed to be a chill movie and some pizza. Even some cake if we're lucky."

"Movie, pizza, and cake?" I asked confused.

"I forgot, you've got no memory." Millie slapped her forehead. "You'll figure out what a movie is at the party but all you need to know about pizza and cake is that they're both foods that taste good. People say it's bad for you."

"How could it be bad for you if it tastes good?" I asked confused.

Millie laughed. "You're awesome!" Millie exclaimed and we left for the party. I figured out what a movie is and I got what was probably my first taste of pizza and cake and they tasted good. Pizza was my new favorite food.

When we got back Millie and I could speak of nothing but the movie and I told her how much I loved pizza. "You get me, I love pizza even more then you do." Millie exclaimed when we walked through the door.

"There is no way Millie, I love pizza more then I love the air that we breath."

"That's a pretty hardcore love of pizza." Millie laughed and went to bed for the night. I departed as well so I could rest up for the long day that was about to be set before me.

When I woke up I dressed in simple jeans, sneakers, and t-shirt. Then I packed some supplies in a backpack, had a quick breakfast and went to the bus stop with Millie and Theo. We all debated who loved pizza the most.
