my friends, and the anger still burned in Lu's eyes, but Hana's hands relaxed from claws but turned into fists. I looked at Burns, and answered him, full of venom.
"Listen here, bub, I am no one's 'sweet cheeks' and if you try to hurt either my friends or me, I will not stand it. If you think a punk-ass, snobby, stupid, jerky jock like you can threaten me, think again. Even though I'm a girl, I have a mind to kick the snot out of you." I felt my eyes burning and adrenaline was pumping through my body.
But this guy was stubborn, Burns reached out and pulled my hair when I turned back to Lu and Hana, a smile on my face. The smile didn't last, and I cried out in pain, my head aching. The bus driver was talking to the boy who just got on and both of them turned their heads. Lupin and Hana gasped. The boy was Tristian, and he looked non-to-pleased when he saw me. I saw Lupin staring at him, and heard the buzz that showed he was talking to him.
Hana was wimpering as I was yanked back again, farther to the back of the bus,smashing into seats. Someone kicked my back, and I arched against them as they kept pulling and kicking. One of them yelled, "Its that Walker kid! She's that adopted freak, Burns! Why'd you pick that witch?!" Laughing, cheering on Burns, the tears pored down my face. My friends stared at me, shuddering in fury, I looked at them, wanting for someone to save me, but not getting them involved. Both was impossible.
All of a sudden the front of the bus, my friends, they all seemed miles away. I was against the back of the exit door, they were kicking me, pulling at my jacket, still pulling my long hair. Things became dark, and the last thing I saw before I collapsed was Tristian, Lupin and Hana rushing towards me. Hana pulled me forward, and I was embraced by Lu and her. Tristian went behind me, and I heard cracking sounds and shouts.
Then, my head exploded, and I passed out, with Lupin holding me, Hana still embracing me, and Tristian holding my hand. The bus driver with the red cheeks looked down at me, picking up my other hand. "Welcome to high school." he said grimly.


Roomies~

When I awoke, I was still on the bus. Lupin and Hana were sitting on either side of me, each holding my hands. Someone was stroking my hair from behind. I sat up straighter, and yet the hands kept brushing through my hair. Hana looked at my face, finally discovering that I was officially awake. She kicked my foot which brushed right up to Lupin's.
He turned his head around, and he sighed when he saw my open eyes. I smiled, but then his eyes tightened when he gazed at the side of my face, where it throbbed.
Hana was talking,"Row, we're at school, its about to start now, so do you feel okay to start?" Her eyes were shiny as she looked at me when I turned.
"Yeah, but, um...." I couldn't say that I couldn't remember what happened before I fell.
"What?" I laughed at their concern, but I was touched. I raised my hands to touch their cheeks."Can you help me up?" They smiled at me, and put my arms through theirs and walked me down the aisle. It felt both good and bad to walk. Once we got off, the bus driver followed.
"Are you okay, little lady?" he asked sincerely, his jaw red. I smiled an apology,"Yes I am okay, thank you. I'm sorry." He frowned and gently patted my covered shoulder. I held back a whimper. "It's not your fault, hon. Take it easy." I nodded. Tristian suddenly came off the bus. And I remembered half of what happened. The names, the pulling, standing in front of Lu and Han, trying to make sure they didn't hurt them....
Tristian looked at my face and walked towards me. Both of them let me go, and stood in front of me. They looked sad as they saw him stand there, telling the bus driver we were fine. I looked at Hana, and she gave me a weird look. She patted me gently and said to Lu, "Talk to him, please." Hana looked on the verge of tears, and it tore me apart. I edged closer and hugged her. My shoulders screamed, but I kept my arms around her.
We started walking together towards O Dea High, and an aristicratic-like lady came through the doors. "Are you Ms.Walker? We've been expecting you. I am Mrs.Von Valliere, the principal of this school. And you are...?" She looked at Lupin and Hana beside me.
Lu held out his hand to Mrs.Von Valliere, "Nice to meet you. I'm new here as well. I am Lupin Walker, her brother. This is our sister Hana. She, too, is new." He smiled pleasantly as he told me, For now, go along with it, please. We have to stay together. I nodded when she looked at me, eyebrows raised.
"Well, your homeroom is Ms.Todd and your dorm is Room 315 it's allowed four people, and there are already two people as your roomates. You may bring Ms.Hana there with you. Morning classes are 7:45am-4:00pm. Lunch and Study Hall is at 11:30 and 1:20. You will get your schedule during homeroom, and your luggage right after. As for you Mr.Tristian, since you have a two-person room with no one else, would you please share with Mr....Lupin, is it?" "Yes ma'm." his answer was quick. She nodded in approvel. "Now please get to class, your already tardy; especially when you have only four days of school in a week. Now go!"
We went without question."What about the mall?" Hana muttered, and I laughed. Tristian walked briskly ahead bumping into my shoulder. I bit my lip. Han's hand tightened her grip on mine. "You could at least be polite." she said angrily. He turned on her like a snake, and I stepped in front of him, between them. Just then there was a sharp crack, and the sting followed it. It hurt just as much as it sounded. But no way in hell am I gonna show this bozo that!
Hana gasped, and when I turned to look at her, she went pale. Something trickled down my cheek. Deja vu... Slapped again. I laughed as I turned back to Tristian. "When do you have the right to hit her. Next time take it out on me." His eyes burned and for the first time he spoke, "Don't worry I'll take that to mind. Especially after I don't get a thanks for saving your ass back there, it's all right, right?" His voice was full of venom.
Tears blurried my vision and I was pulled back into cold, frail arms. I stared him straight on, my tears fell with my blood. "I didn't ask you to help me, did I?" I wanted to run. To run away from all of this. Especially him. "This is my first day of high school, and I'll tell you right now, Tristian, I don't like your attitude, so get to class and I'll bring Lupin to his." He stared at me, his eyes like steel. "Go on! Get, before I have to make you. You're ruining our day." My head felt heavy and I was in no mood to talk to him
He humphed arrogantly and turned on his heel, "Don't expect me to help you again, Walker, so you should find yourself a bodyguard." He laughed as he walked away. I started to walk the opposite way when I saw a rock. I decided to use it. I turned to Lupin and Hana. I whispered, "Talk to me." My eyes locked on the rock. They stared wide eyed as the rock lifted up from the ground. "So, do we all have Ms.Todd?" Way to go, Lu! "Yea, I hear from Gran she's really, really nice and young." I said, sounding bored as I turned the rock in Tristian's dirction. "I hope we have alot of classes together like that." Han! Keep talking! "I mean, lets get away from him if he bothers you so much, Row."
The rock was alined with his head. "Let's get to class early." I suggested, walking away quickly, and they followed, worried glances on their faces, which were becoming smiles. I flung the rock with my mind, using as much strentgh as I had. We were around the corner when I heard him, "Ow! What---! Damn it, Hana! Lupin!" Running I dashed into Room 315, dragging Lu with us.
Two girls stared at us. I smiled as Han, Lu, and I sat down against the door. "Hi, I'm Rowan, but you can call me Row. You must be Molly and Ella, right? This is Hana, and we're gonna be roomies. Sorry; this is Lupin, he's hiding with us. We can right? Join us! Its an adventure!" They stared at each other, than at us, and started laughing. We laughed with them until Lu heard footsteps.
"Wait---- I thought I heard him outside the door..." he said his eyes filled with dramatic dread. Hana looked at Molly and Ella, "Do you mind if we hide and pretend we didn't come in here?" she asked anxiously. They nodded, seeming half serious. Thats when I heard the shouts. I leaned my head over and pressed my ear to the door. He was going down the hall.
"Quick! Hide somewhere not visible!" I whispered. He's next door! He'll kill me! They nodded and Lu put a fist out. Hana touched it and nodded at me. I smiled and added mine to theirs. There was a knock at the door. Lupin scrambled into the desk cabinet at the end of the room, luckily it was big enough. I grabbed Hana's hand and we scuttled under the bed Ella was sitting on. There was already stuff around on the floor, so we could hide and peek out, with out getting caught.
"Just a minute!" Molly called out. She looked at me, and under the bed I gave her a thumbs up. She opened the door. The arrogant rat stood there, he looked half drenched. I thought I heard rain earlier...Funny. I kept my thoughts shielded, I pictured a brick wall. But he started to speak so I kept my thoughts low.
"I'm sorry,but have you seen two girls and a guy? The girls have black hair, ones longer than the other, the guy's tan." I inched a little closer, peering through a pair of converse.His shaggy hair was half in his face, which was a light pink. His eyes, they were orange with black around it. He was maaaaaad... I'm gonna have to hide for a little while, I thought. Tristian was looking for them though, not me. He doesn't know why everyone I knew called me 'witch', or why I
