Nova Tia: The Saga Begins

9

"It's been a few days after the attack, and they're still missing... I'm getting really concerned." Mrs. Nyeuko, the english teacher, muttered to herself. She felt terrible that she let them go out on their own. The teacher was thinking of the worst case scenario at this point.

"They'll show up sometime... I'm sure of it." a voice echoed from across the room. This voice was feminine and medium ranged, it sounded somewhat formal. This girl had iris colored hair up in a drill-like pigtail up on the right side of her head when looking at it. She had silver colored eyes tinted with a dash of blue here and there. She was wearing a long sleeved, royal purple shirt that cut off around her shoulders. For bottoms, she wore a white pleated skirt that was to her fingertips when her arms were down. She had a black belt through the loopholes of the skirt with a chain coming from the left side of her belt to the side of her waist.

"How are you so sure, Umi-chan?" a higher pitched female voice perked up from underneath the sink in the corner of the room. The girl looked up, revealing a younger looking girl around the age of 12 or 13. Pigtails in dark blue ribbons came out of the sides of her head, looking like they're practically sticking out out her head itself. Her eyes sparkled a bright pastel orange, while she wore a red sleeveless shirt that cut off before her shoulders. There was a bright gold X across the top part of the shirt. For pants, she wore black leggings that cut off at her knees and continued downwards after.

"I just know it... I can feel it..." Umi gazed outside of the window to look at the city. A lot of huge buildings which previously towered higher than the school were reduced to nothing but ash and dust. The sky was grey, but the sun continued to pierce through the clouds.

"I-I just hope they come back here in one piece." A boy perked up behind a desk, holding a box in his hands. He had a juniper shade of green for hair with a piece of his hair standing up like a greater than symbol on the top of his head and a set of seafoam colored eyes. His voice was soft and shy, introverted like. He wore a gray shirt with "Like Books?" in bold white font. He had a red hoodie tied around his waist and had a pair of black karate-like pants on.

"Me too. They must be scared out of their minds, if they're alive at least." a deep voiced boy entered the room with a broom, sweeping all the dust and ceiling fragments into a dustpan. He had spikey red hair pulled into a ponytail with a blue hair tie. He wore a white coat that was short in the front, and longer in the sides and back. On the left side, there was no sleeve for his arm, but on his right side, a sleeve draped just past his wrists. He wore a pair of brown pants underneath them with short boots.

"D-don't talk like that, Rantaro...!" the softer voice male scolded him.

"Whatever. Just be thankful that we're still alive." Rantaro sat down in one of the desks, stretching.

"Hey, Yoichi? Could I have some help over here?" the pigtailed brunette squeaked out while trying to hold a bunch of boxes.

"Sure thing, Sayaka...!" the high pitched boy ran over to assist the girl.

"Now that most things are back in order, you all can head home. Thank you all so much, I truly appreciate it. I'll add an extra 20 quiz points on your grade for this quarter as a reward." Mrs. Nyeuko smiled.

"Thank you so much!" Sayaka smiled and left.

"Thank god, I'm not going to fail this semester after all." Rantaro stood up from his chair, walking out of the room.

"I-I'm glad we could help you, Mrs. Nyeuko." Yoichi nods and follows the others out.

"We'll see you next week! Thanks again!" Umi smiled and skipped out.

"So... do you want to go to the cafe to hang out for a bit...? I heard they're open again..." Yoichi suggests.

"Sounds fun. Sure, I'm up for it." Umi nods.
