Opposites

A new face

 It was the middle of class and a six-year-old levi sat at his table, alone. He was a good kid, Never got in trouble, always got gold stars on his class work. You know, the things children are supposed to do. But for some reason the rest of the kids in his class thought he was weird. Sure he brought lysol wipes with him to school so he can wipe the table and chair, sure he wiped the crayons, pencils, and markers before using them, sure he sat on the edge of the playground because he didn’t want to get dirty, sure he always made sure he was clean and well dressed. But that doesn’t make him weird. He just doesn’t want to be dirty and unsanitary. He likes being clean. He sighed as he sat there waiting for the rest of his classmates to finish their page of work, Which was to write the names of the things shown on there. Easy.

  A few minutes passed and everyone was almost finished, when there was suddenly a knock at the door. His teacher stood up from her desk and answered the door. His classmates started whispering to each other, Levi didn’t pay them any attention. Instead he strained to hear what his teacher was saying. He didn’t hear much, but he did catch her saying ¨new student¨  He hoped the new student wouldn't sit next to him. He’s gotten used to sitting by himself, He liked having all the crayons and markers to himself. Plus he wouldn’t have to deal with the hassle of  having to wipe everything before he touched it. His teacher walked back inside the classroom and stood in front of the class.

¨Alright kids, listen up. We’re  lucky enough to have a new student! so please welcome Hanji zoe¨

    

  Levi could hear the other kids start whispering to one another as a kid about Levi’s age walked into the classroom, Levi studied the new student. He had on a too large green sweater, a red t shirt, blue shorts, glasses, and his hair was up in a messy ponytail. He looked down at his shoes and was disgusted by how dirty they were. he was now sure he didn’t want that kid sitting next to him.

¨Okay miss Hanji, why don’t you go sit next to levi over there.¨ his teacher said while pointing to him.

     

    ‘miss? wait. Hanji is really a girl?!’ he thought while watching her make her way towards him. ‘oh no, and she’s going to sit next to me!  just my luck..’ He eyed hanji as she sat next to him. A strange scent filled his nose and he almost immediately knew where it was coming from, It smell like dirt and grass. ‘who in the world smells like this?!’ he thought and looked at hanji with a disgusted expression. Hanji was busy listening to the teacher, she glanced at levi and saw he was staring at her. She smiled at him even though he had a not so friendly expression on his face.

      

 ¨so, you’re name is Levi right?¨  she asked him.

  Levi was a bit surprised at her sudden question. He didn’t expect her to actually talk to him.

  ¨yes.¨ he answered her. She nodded.

   

 ¨like the Jeans?¨ she asked.

   

   Levi sighed and shook his head. Hanji giggled and playfully smacked his arm.

 ¨I’m just teasing!¨ she said as she gave him a smile, Levi rubbed his arm, he didn’t expect a girl to be able to hit that hard, But then again. He didn’t expect her to actually speak to him, she seems to be full of surprises. He’ll have to keep an eye on her.
