Chapter 2: I don’t understand
I went back to class and waited for the final bell to ring all I wanted to do was go home and go to bed. Once that bell rang even though I was the closest to the door I was the last one out of the room. I was glad that it was finally the end of the frickin day. I was debating on going to the dorms to find my room and to see who my roommate was but I just didn’t feel up to it. So I went to my locker and grabbed my bag with what homework I had. Which is what I’m not to fond of; honestly why do teachers give us homework on the first day, it’s like they’re potentially screwing us. Anyways like I said I got my stuff and started out of the school back towards home. Maybe I could convince mom that I’m sick and stay home for a day just so I can pack. Of course I’m not too sure if I can convince dad he seemed to know when I was lying.
When I got out of the doors I looked over towards the boys dorms for a few seconds then went on my way towards home. Naturally you can go through the first day of school without a fight breaking out somewhere. The obvious older kids picking on the new kids to the school. Freshman, junior doesn’t matter someone will stat a fight. And sure enough there was a circle yelling fight over and over again around a couple of kids. So to try to break it up I went over the circle and pushed my way through to see what was going on. What I didn’t expect is who was in the middle of the circle. It was Toshiro and some other guy he had to be a senior. But I didn’t understand why Toshiro was fighting. He just didn’t seem like the type of person.
“What’s going on?” I asked the kid standing next to me.
“That kid with the silver hair just couldn’t take the insults from Sean.” He explained.
“Yea you never punch the captain of the football team and get away with it.” Another person explained.
When I looked back in the circle Toshiro was on the ground and Sean brought his foot back to kick him. I couldn’t take it anymore I charged into the circle and blocked Sean’s next kick by sticking out my foot and letting his swing hit the bottom of my foot.
“Get out of the way kid unless you want to get a pounding too.” Sean stated.
Sean was one of those jocks that went to the weight room every chance they got is what I was guessing from the way he looked.
“You know I’ve never been one for fights, especially if one of my friends is involved.” I smirked. “Now back off and go back to your weight room.”
“Really and what is a little twirp like you going to do about it?” He asked grabbing my shirt collar and lifting me off the ground. “Not so tough now are you?” He asked.
“Have you ever heard of a thing called mouth wash it works wonders for bad breath.” I smirked.
The next thing I knew I was on the ground holding my mouth. I looked at my hand and a small pool of blood formed.
“Sasuke are you alright?” Toshiro asked helping me up.
“Yea I’m fine.” I told him.
“Don’t you two look good together just like a gay couple.” Sean laughed making everyone around us laugh.
I clenched my fist and the blood ran down my arm. “What gives you the right to say if anything.” I stood up “You don’t know me, and I’ll be damned if I let anyone say shit about me or any of my friends.” I shouted socking Sean square in the nose.
He stumbled back and touched his nose a few times. “The little bastard punched me.” He said.
“And you deserve a hell of a lot more.” I told him Then I glared at the crowd “Didn’t I tell you to get lost?” I snapped.
“Sasuke watch out!” Toshiro shouted and I swung my leg around and kicked Sean right in the gut.
Sean stumbled back from the impact again and this time there was a small flame on his shirt where I kicked him. My eyes grew and as people were freaking out about the small fire I grabbed my bag and Toshiro’s wrist and halled ass out of the circle. Toshiro was freezing cold.
“Thanks Sasuke.” He said. “But where did you learn to fight?”
“I was kicked out of my last school from a fight.” I told him then I leaned against the wall of the school and slid down to sit down on the ground. “What about you why are you here Toshiro?”
“My family just moved here about mid summer.” He answered rubbing the spot that I had grabbed his wrist. “You’re extremely warm.”
“Well you’re freezing cold so you shouldn’t be complaining.” I mentioned. “This school is just like the last school I went to no matter what some jock is always picking on a new kid.” I sighed.
“So from your last school were you just trying to protect someone?” He questioned.
“Yea…but of course the jock doesn’t get in trouble and kicked out of the school.” I sighed and scratched the back of my head.
“Sasuke…” Toshiro started making me look back at him.
“What?” I asked.
“I’m…not like other kids.” He replied rubbing his arm and looking away from me.
“No ones the same.” I said laying down in the shade of the building now.
“I’m not joking around Sasuke.” He semi shouted at me.
“And neither was I just relax Toshiro.” I laughed slightly “So your hair is a different color from everyone else’s that just makes you unique.” I stated looking up at him.
“Sasuke just listen to me, I’m not like the kids around here and neither are you.” He started “No one can just start a fire out of nowhere from just kicking someone.”
“And what does this have to do with what you’re trying to tell me?” I groaned.
“We’re elementals Sasuke.” He told me.
“Elementals are myths Toshiro; just urban legends…” He cut me off.
“Then explain why you were felling sick today in class and that the paper towel burned when you touched it?”
“How do you know that? I thought I was alone when…” I trailed off looking at my hands.
“And that explains why you can get so hot headed bout something.” He continued.
“STOP!” I shouted clapping my hands over my ears. “I don’t want to hear it any more.” I said getting up and running towards the gates of the school.
“Sasuke wait listen to me.” He shouted obviously following me.
“Leave me alone.” I shouted then felt something grab my leg making me fall to the ground.
I looked at my foot and ice had engulfed it. Following the trail of ice it went back to Toshiro.
“Listen to me Sasuke I am an elemental of ice; my parents sent me to a special school and there are other students like us here.” He said.
“I don’t understand what’s going on?” I answered trying to pull my leg out of the ice.
“Sasuke Kasai and Toshiro Uindo please come to the main office.” My father’s secretary said over the loud speaker.
I laid down on the ground “Great just what I didn’t need today.” I groaned looking up at the sky.
