Chapter 3: Loner
" You can walk back home on your own, right?" My sister asked
" Yes, don't worry about me" I yawned as I stepped out of the vehicle
"Ok, then. Have a great day. I'll be back home late tonight" She said as the car slowly drive away
I looked at the car driving away into the sunlight along the oak tree road. I shook my head lightly. 'She sure caring like she will always be, even though she didn't show it out that much to me'. Turned my head back, I look at my new school. One thing for certain is that it's huge and very modern.
Not that is a bad thing but, the thing is, I never fit into school much. I usually don't have many friends. Joker is one but he's now study abroad, we still keep in touch though. Hannah is another close friend of mine. She is an energetic one, maybe a bit hyperactive sometimes. Me, Hannah and Joker are best friend since kindergarten. Now, we're grown up, separated by dreams and difficult situations. But close friend still.
"I would like to announce that the ceremony at the school yard will start soon. All students are required to attend the ceremony before dividing into different classes. Thank you" A voice rang up through my head.
'Oh great, another thirty minutes of listening to a long boring speech' I dampened as I darted through the school yard.
The school yard is crowded with thousands of students, chattering like bees in the hive.
"Have you seen the new acting club? I heard it's very popular at this school!"
"I heard there're lots of high ranked teachers from different states gather here to teach us!"
"Aye bro, ready for some hot chicks at this place? We're going to rock this school"
I silently walked through. Weirdos, nerds, hot chicks, show off kids, they're everywhere. I don't really pay much attention to them, but they're people, that's what they are. I'm just some lone wolf in this huge world.
"Hey look! The principal is going to make the speech!"
I looked up. A man, who looks rather young and a true gentleman himself, is walking up the platform. He has light yellow hair, sharp jawline, blue sapphire eyes, porcelain skin. His body is slim, covered with an expensive suit. The girls around whispering and giggling while looking at him with admiration. I wondered if he's royal are something.
"Before I read my speech, on the behalf of the school, I'd like to send the warmest welcome all of the beloved students. Some already familiar to our school, but to over 700 of our new students, welcome you all to Northwest High!"
The cheering and applause rise up as he speak.
'Every school has the same speech. I'm not gonna hear this crap.' I mumbled as I put on the headphone.' I'm getting outta here. Damn, why are there so many people in here!"
I jostled through the crowd, tried to sneak out. After ten minutes of squeezing my body, I finally free from people. Walking across the front yard, under the shade of school buildings, i thought about the purple eyes girl.
'Je voulais seulement retourner le médaillon vous avez oublié à la mer!'
"Gahhh! How did she know my house? And..... my locker?" I questioned " It doesn't have any thing but a picture and... and.... THE LETTER!!?!?" I panicked
Took out my cellphone, I dialed my sister's number as I trembled. That letter is what I have left after Johanna went away. The only thing that reminds of how I use to have a loving mother. I can't lose that precious thing.
"Hello? Johnathan? I thought you're at school?"
"Sis?!!? Are you at home?!!"
"Yes I'm at home? What's with that tone you're asking me?"
"Do you notice my letter anywhere? I.....I think..... I think I'd lost it" I said as I tightened my shirt, where my heart is thumping against my ribcage.
"No... I don't really notice. I thought you've already put it in your own box full of..... you know what is in there but I don't" She hesitated
I slowly felt better, there might be a small chance that it's still in the box " Sis, can you... check it through for me? I want to assure that everything is in the right place" I breathed out
"...Please...?"
Stiff silence. Nothing on the other line.
"I'll check. Just go back to class" Her soft voice whispered to my ear. The other line hang up.
My face turned pale. Where's the letter? Has it gone lost? Or did Violet - the girl with the purple eyes (I named her so it's easier to call) have it in her hand? And if she did, how could I get it back? My mind is invaded with so much anxious and worries that I didn't notice where I was going.
*OOF*
***********************************************************
I walked along the tree, under its shade. Not that I hate speech or anything, but the heavy scent from different people all mixed together create such terrible odor that I can't stand of. I decided to leave and get some actual fresh air.
I strolled around the yard. I love the atmosphere right now. Not too loud, but not quiet either. It's just somehow.....normal. It reminded me of my old school and my friends. Mia was my best friend. Not only did she has many things in common with me and great personalities but she's also did many things for me. And of course there was Jake. Jake's a wild animal. He's lively, cheerful and for some unknown reason he's always unbelievably energetic. Lastly was Cléon. He's one of the smartest people of all my friend. Clever, creative, adorable but very mature, in a way.
But all of them, all of my three best friend are now scatter everywhere. Mia's in another state. Jake got a scholarship to Japan and Cléon packed his bags to France. We chat with each other daily but it's just doesn't feel the same like it used to. Mia usually fly back to Maryland to see me in summer. Jake and Cléon happened to be here last summer when Mia came. But three months has gone so fast that we don't even have enough time to make more memories.
I was walking and lost in the beautiful memories that I didn't pay any attention.
*OOF*
