Flower Boy High~

Chapter 4: School

It's been a whole weekend since that strange meeting with Ha-Neul and Maria. Meeka was getting ready to go back to school as most kids are, ready to meet old faces, new faces, teachers, homework and drama. I of course would be ecstatic to go back only for education, but going to a new school was complicated. My previous schools took more than a whole year to get used to me. As in the students. They hated my style. The teachers were okay with me, because I did there work and I was a star student.  This is why I decided to take the "hard entrance exam" (as everyone calls it) to progress a little more. Of course I passed it with flying colors. Who wouldn't have passed it?  Meeka came into my house as usual. Though she came in 12 seconds late. Its probably because she has to carry a school bag.  "Hey Akira! What's up? Getting ready for school?" I nodded as I looked in my closet for something school appropriate. I brought out my blue sweat pants and matching jacket, that had a white line going down the sides. Meeka looked confused. "Are you going jogging or what?" I smiled at her brightly. "I'm going to school of course! Ggot Minam High didn't send me a uniform so I have to improvise! They are a prestigious school but can't send me my uniform?" I then looked at Meekas uniform. It was pretty. She wore black boots with black over the knee's, a short red and black skirt with a black jacket and tie to match. She looked like she was going to school, I looked like I was going to run a marathon. "Why don't you at least wear a skirt or something? Why this?" She said confused. I dusted off the old jacket and put it on. "Because this is my lucky first day back to school outfit. Remember when I wore this in the 7th grade? I got really lucky because when the mean kids where throwing food at me it missed me completely?" Meeka sighed. "I remember that, but that's because those stupid kids had bad aim." She said smiling. "And plus, this is high school! It's not going to be the same. Most kids are going to be worrying about their studies then trying to throw food on you." I went into my small room. (which I love) and got out my white old converse. These shoes are also lucky. I came back out and sat on my couch to put them on. Meeka was trying to look in my closet for something she would rather let me wear. Giggling I fixed myself a piece of toast with jelly. What does she think this is? This isn't her closet. This is my closet. She won't find anything. "Meeka you should give up, you won't find anything fancy in there." Meeka sighed and sat on the couch. "I forgot you don't own any skirts." She said. I laughed because she looked almost sad. "Come on Meeka!" I said smiling. "I'll be okay without a skirt or a dress. That's more your thing." Meeka got up and smoothed out her skirt. "Your right, today should be a great day because I get to go back to school, I shouldn't be sad because you don't want to dress right for school!" She said playfully. I only laughed and agreed with her. "Let's go Akira, I'll drop you off." As she was walking out of the door I stopped in my tracks. Meeka turned around. "What is it?" I shook my head and walked in my room to grab my lucky bike Hana. "No.. that's okay I want to take my bike. I want to learn how to get there on my own. And plus, its a beautiful day to be outside." Meeka protested. "Are you sure? You really don't have to do this, are schools are close!" I shook my head once more. "Nope your school is not that close. You should offer up this ride to people who are going to the same school." I said smiling. Meeka rolled her eyes. "Fine....But if you need anything, just tell me okay?" I gave Meeka a big hug and she went into her car. She waved a good-bye and she drove off. I walked outside with my bike and rode off. I was really happy she didn't force me into the car like she would usually. I can't believe she was being nice to me today. But I still love her. 

I rode past other schools and saw other people riding on bikes. It truly is a beautiful day today. I was having a little trouble finding it. But I found it none the less. You couldn't miss it. It was really really big. I hopped off my bike and walked it over into the gates. The gates were golden. That had the letters F, B and H. I wonder what that meant. "Fly Band House? Fruit Bee Horse?" It didn't make since but its probably important.  As I walked into the gate the setting was even more breathe taking. The school itself was awesome but the outside was cooler. A big land where I saw pretty pathways with lights, flower beds and water fountains. I saw a balcony filled with plants. There was a track field, foot ball field and basketball court. My first thought was, was this school very sports minded? I had no thought that I would be going to a sports school. But all prestigious schools should have these types of things. So it should be nothing new. "If they have a lot of sports then they should have a lot of things dealing with academic studies right? I said to myself. I walked up the pathway that led to the double doors into the school.  It was very hard getting these doors open but I managed to open them. Upon opening I saw a whole bunch of people. 

These people where laughing and and carrying on. Like they all know each other. And I stuck out like a sore thumb. As I tried walking in the school and bumping into some people, some people looked as if they wanted to run away. One person actually tripped me. I turned around to see who the perpetrator was and he just laughed. "Opps! My bad, didn't see you there." All of his little buddies were laughing as well, and talking about me. So great, I guess my lucky outfit wasn't so lucky. All these people looked like they can be in magazines. I was starting to think I was at the wrong school. But the letter sent was exactly the name of the building. So I couldn't be wrong. And then it happened. All the ruckus that was ringing in my ears stopped. For some odd reason all of the people in the hall way backed up against the wall and started to bow. And then I saw them. Four young men stepped into the hall way and started to walk it like a catwalk. I was caught in the middle of their catwalk. One of the young men stepped up to me. He was tall with brown wavy hair that came down his face perfectly, and some of it was in a low ponytail. His eyes was a beautiful light brown. He had no smile on his face. He looked serious. He looked familiar though. I've seen his face in a magazine before. He looked me up and down as if he wanted to scold me for something. I mean I just got here, what can go wrong? I started to introduce myself. "Hello my name is-" He raised his hand and for some odd reason that shut me up. "I'm not here to get to know you, I want to know why your not in uniform." I looked at him dumbfounded and confused. I started to speak up but was scared. He meant serious business. "This school never sent me one." I said with a low tone. All the people on the wall started to laugh. Then the guy that tripped me earlier put his two cents in. "Oi! Low class boy, you have to pay for your uniform." Then they started to laugh even more. If Meeka was here she would of punched that guy in the face. And a boy? I know I'm not that good looking but he didn't have to call me a boy! I wanted to runaway and into a small space but my feet never let me move. The remaining of the three guys walked up towards me as well. One of them spoke up. He was also tall with strawberry blonde hair. He had a couple of piercings on his ear and books in his hand. His eyes were also a pretty brown. "Go to the registration office for your paperwork, get your schedule, and go down to your first hour class. As the four "supermodels" were walking around me, he stopped again. Without looking at me, he made his remarks. "Oh...and go put on something that doesn't make babies cry, if you want you can leave permanently, we don't need ugly people walking around my school." And with that my heart sank. And the boys on the walls started to laugh as they were getting off the wall walking to their first class. It was a beautiful day today and some stuck-up rich kids had to ruin it.  But I'm a optimistic person! I'm not going to let these people ruin my beautiful day. It'll take them a long time to bring me down. And in the end they will see who is laughing!
