Chapter 2
Valentina's POV
Today I am starting my first day at Night Sky High School. I will turn 15 in two days and I can't wait for it to be over. I've hated my birthday ever since I was 5 years old depuis ma famille est morte (ever since my family died in French). It always seemed like every time my birthday comes something terrible happens like when I was turning 10 years old, the whole city got destroyed and it killed my foster family. Every foster family that adopts me get killed on my birthday every single time and I just can't take it anymore!
When I walked up to the school stairs, everybody stared at me. Then a young lady walked up to me and said,''Hi my name is Maria and I'm your principal. You must be Valentina Sonclair.'' ''Yes.''I replied coldly. "Follow me please." my principal told me, then she started walking in the school so I followed her. Again everybody stared at me and I didn't know why, then I realized that they were staring because I had long, straight,black hair with bangs, I was wearing a black fishnet shirt that had half of a black tank top, black short and black boots.
Principal Maria gave me my schedule and locker combination and left. After she left a boy walked up to me and said,''Bonjour,je m'appelle Miguel. Comment tu t'appelles? (Hello, my name is Miguel. What is your name?)'' I smiled and said shyly, "Je m'appelle Valentina. (My name is Valentina.)"
RINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
"Je dois y aller , mais je vais vous attraper plus tard, peut-être? (I have to go but I'll catch you later maybe?) I told Miguel. "D'Accord. (Ok.)" He said. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had French first "Shinken ni. (Seriously.)" I mumbled to myself.
When I got there I slowly opened the door, and when I did, everybody started to turn their head and stare. "Vous devez être Miss.Valentina . Mon nom est Ms.Angelena. (You must be Miss.Valentina. My name is Ms.Angelena.)" My teacher said to me. "Class this is Valentina. She is the new student I was just telling you about." Ms. Angelena told the class.
Of course I could understand her because my brother tought me how to speak really good English, but she didn't know that I could speak English. "Ms.Angelena je peux parler anglais, mais permettez-moi de parler en français ? (Ms.Angelena I can speak English but may I speak in French?)" I asked Ms.Angelena,"Oui. (Yes.)". "Pouvez-vous nous en dire un peu plus sur vous en anglais se il vous plaît ? (Can you tell us a little bit about yourself in English?)" Ms. Angelena asked me. I nodded my head yes. "Umm... My name is Valentina Sonclair, I am turning 13 years old today. I am half French and half Japanese, I can speak both French and Japanese. My older brother Luke tought me English at a very young age,and my favorite colors are dark blue and purple." I said leaving the part out about how my family is dead including Luke.
Everybody stared at me in amazement, even Ms.Angelena! "Well aren't you awesome!" the teacher said to me. "You may sit next to Zach or Logan, it doesnt matter to me but those are the last two seat left." Ms.Angelena told me. They both looked like they really wanted to sit next to me, but I could only choose one seat. I walked over to the seat next to Logan and sat down. "Salut mon nom est Logan et je pense que vous êtes incroyable. (Hi my name is Logan and I think you are amazing)" the boy told me sweetly. I blushed then I said," Thank you."
Three classes later
As was walking to the cafeteria Logan stopped me,"Hey,so... are you doing anything after school?" he asked me. "No." I replied trying to not sound so cold. "Cool! So... you wanna go out to dinner maybe tonight?" Logan asked.
Logan's POV
Please don't say no, please don't say no "Sure. Like a date?" She said. I was surprised that she actually said yes, although she does look like something is bothering her. "As friends,so I'll pick you up at 7?" I asked. "Sure,but how do I dress?" she asked me. "Formal."
Valentina's POV
Then, he disappeared into the crowd. "Hey mon amour . Wanna asseoir avec moi au déjeuner (Hey my love. Wanna sit with me at lunch?)" Miguel came up behind me and asked covering my eyes. I got scared, then...
BOOM! CLAP!
I didn't know who was behind me, then I realized that it was one of my friends (even though I only have two), Miguel. "Hey, Miguel. Whats up?" I asked him. "Ahhh, so she does speak English." Miguel said to me making me laugh.
Miguel and I got our lunch and sat in our usual spot (the corner of the cafeteria). "So whatcha been up to Valen?" Miguel asked me. "Well lets just say everyone in my all classes are fasinated in me just because I am half French and half Japanese and because I can speak French amd Japanese. Also I always get stared at by every boy in my classes when I walked in the room. So... what about you?" I told him."Nothing really except every girl keeps trying to ask me out." He told me as rolled my eyes.
