Cheshire Avengers {Re-Write}

Chapter 13

School. I'm not sure if I'm excited or scared. Mostly excited. School gives me something to look forward to in my dull life here on Earth.

I grab something quick to eat and run out the door. I can't be late. Not on my first day. I find a subway heading somewhere close to where I'll go, and hop on it using the metro card Tony gave me.  People mush me into the pole of the subway and I sigh. This sucks.  But after 20 minutes of being crammed into subways and pushed against sweaty people I hit my stop and practically fling myself out of the subway.

I run up the stairs and walk over a block.  There I see Midtown High. My new school.   Students dot the field and some walk inside. 

I'm excited as I look around to see all these new people I'll get to meet.  A tall boy with dark skin talking to a girl who shares features with him.  Not siblings, maybe cousins though.  A pale, green eyed, white haired, small girl scribbling something down on a piece of paper.  A boy with olive skin, black hair, and brown eyes yells at a group of people. Maybe his friends?  I see a taller girl, with a light hijab and dark eyes talking with a group of friends. 

Everyone looks so happy here.  Maybe it won't be so bad.  I rush inside and bump into the tall boy who was talking to the girl, the ones who looked like cousins.

"Oop! Sorry!" He gives me a hand and I gratefully take it.  "Hey cool hair. I haven't seen you around are ya new?"

"Uh! Yeah I am. I was just looking for the office do you know where it is-" I being to ask.  This is going well.

"Just down there. " He points and I smile and nod, walking in that direction.

"Thanks!" I say waving.

He smiles and waves back, then continues to talk to the girl.  I hustle through the crowd and get pushed into the wall once, but I wave it off and finally get inside the office.

"H-hi!" I gasp out taking in a breath.  How overwhelming.

"Hello. Are you the new student, Chyann Stark?"

Her "name" is pronounced "shy-Ann" just so y'all know.

Stark? I think. No. And neither is Chyann, but I figured this was Tony's doing.

"Yes!" I exclaim. "That's me!"

She looks a bit shocked. 

"I wasn't aware Tony Stark had a daughter!"

Ooooooh. That's why. I forgot how famous Stark was.

"It's complicated." I tell her and she nods, understandably.

I hear a bell ring and the halls seem to quiet down.

"Am I late?" I look around at the now empty hall.

"You're excused, so no."

"Ok that's good." I sigh.

"Yep. So Chyann here is your schedule. Feel free to ask for help if you need to. Here's your locker and lock.  Your first class is in room 302.  That's english.  Go on now. You have 15 minutes before you must be to class."  The lady rambles on.

"Uh huh thanks!" I say opening the door and heading out into the hall. "Locker 23." 

I grin and find my locker, and place the lock on it after opening it.  I have no clue how to use the lock, so I can use magic. I'll just have to be careful.

I place all my things I won't need for the morning in my locker and shut it. And lock it.  Then I head down the strangely empty hall off to 302. 

I turn a corner and head up some stairs. I'm on floor two. One more to go and I'll be on 3. Then I can find 302. Or that's what I hope.  As I walk down to find another stair case leading upstairs I begin to notice things. Like the light flickering in the hallway or the unlocked lockers.  The don't do drug posters outside open classroom doors. 

Once I reach the stairs I hike up them nearly dying during the process, and once I get to the top I remind myself how much I hate stairs.  Looking down the hallway I see room 302 at the very end.  The doors open and I can see students staring intently at a teacher, teaching, well, something that I can't see from my current position.

I walk down the hall and come up to the door.  I take a deep breath and step inside.

"And that is what the author meant when he said the vase was blue-" the teacher was saying until I came in.

"..hi.." the words spills out of my mouth. "..I have a pass......."

"Oh yes! Class this is our new student Chyann Stark!"  The teacher exclaims to the class.  And I hear a few gasps. "Why don't you sit down right over there."

And he points to a open seat next to the girl who was writing something down on paper.  With pale skin and green eyes. Next to a window. It's perfect.

"Ok."

I walk over and claim my seat, still feeling eyes on me.

"Hi I'm Beth." The girl tells me.

"Chyann."

"Chyann! Beth! Please pay attention!" The teacher calls and we both shut up and listen.

I'm beginning to think high school won't be so bad.  Maybe.

Guys I had so much fun writing this chapter I did it within an hour. It was great. I really feel like this is my best chapter so far and I want all my chapters to be like this.  Also I'm going to try and come up with some sort of update schedule. I'm thinking once a week. Let's see how that works out.
