~More of the untitled story~ -It's alil' long-
Light was coming in through the mouth of the cave…but something was blocking was blocking part of it…or…was it someone…I couldn’t tell…my eyes were still closed…I was almost afraid to open my eyes. The thing blocking the light came closer. “Hey, Kuna?” What a familiar voice…wait…it sounds like…Stryker-chan! “Kuna! You’re gonna be late for school again!” I sat up and looked into the smiling face of Stryker.
“Hey, Stryker-chan. What brings you here so early…?” I yawned.
Stryker laughed. “Early? It’s almost time for school to start Kuna.” I smile my half-wake smile…then what he had just said hit me.
“What!? What time is it Stryker-chan!?” I had already started running for the house. Stryker was floating beside me keeping up with no effort. He looked up at the position of the sun.
“7:44…about…I’m not too good at time.” She laughed at himself before running smack into a large rock. “Ow…! That’s twice this week! If I was human I wouldn’t have a nose anymore…” Stryker was like me…we were different. Neither of us human…but we looked so much like them we could live out our lives among them. I stopped and ran back to him. I was about to ask if he was all right when he said; “I’ll be fine. Just go get ready. I’ll met you by the road.” With that I nodded and ran up to the house. I tried the door.
“Man! Why does she have to lock it!?” I was going to get my keys but I was in a hurry. I kicked the door down… “I’ll fix it later” I reassured myself I as I ran to my room. I got ready for school quickly. Then I ran down to the kitchen and grabbed a small, raw steak off the counter. I grabbed my backpack with the steak hanging out of my mouth then went to meet Stryker. “Hey, Stryker-chan? You eat yet?” I asked ripping the steak in half.
“Oh, no. I came to get you first.” His stomach growls as I handed him half of my steak. “Ah, thank you, Kuna-chan!” He grinned and ate the steak, as I did I. “How’re we planning on getting to school on time without the humans noticing?” He put on his best innocent, confused face.
“Ah…I was thinking…maybe you’d know.” I was slightly worried I would get in trouble with my teacher. He disliked me way more then the kids.
Stryker laughed. “Of course I know, Kuna-chan!” He wrapped his arms around me and the next thing I knew it we were in a disserted hall at school. I sighed in relief. Stryker really had me worried there. We both walked into our first class.
“You two are late!” We both looked at the clock. Stryker opened his mouth to argue but the teacher knew what his argument was. “The late bell changed.”
“Bu--!?” I was furious!
“You should have known!” He then addressed the class, “How many of you knew…?” Every hand in the class rose. We stood flabbergasted. How could everyone know but us!? I growled at Mr. E…he name was this big, long unpronounceable thing. So everyone called him Mr. E…except Stryker and I…we called him Mr. Elephant. Not that he’d every find out. I was about to argue with him when Stryker smiled and bowed at Mr. Elephant. I knew he also wanted to yell at him too, but Stryker had more common sense then I…he kept me out of trouble. Which is one of the reasons Okasan didn’t mind having him around.
“Don’t let him get to you, Kuna-chan.” Stryker said as we sat down at our desks. I smiled. Then Mr. Elephant yelled at us for talking. ‘What a jerk!’ I thought. Stryker mentally agreed with me. After much lecturing about the importance of being on time, everyone was told to leave…aside from my and Stryker. I groaned.
“Yes, Mr. E?” I smiled. Stryker was always polite…even if he did have a deep-seeded hatred for the person. Mr. Elephant just glared at us and told us to get out of his sight. So…we left.
“I can’t believe that jerk!” I had to vent some steam before our next class…only…this one I didn’t have with Stryker. So he had many things to tell me.
“Kuna-chan, don’t let little things like that get to you. You really should be courteous to your elders…and-”
“Don’t lose your cool…an-” I knew this speech by heart…
“KUNA-CHAN!”
“Wha’? Huh?” I wasn’t excepting him to stop.
He sighed. “If you don’t need my advice just tell me.”
“Oh, no, Stryker-chan! I love hearing your voice!”
“Uh…uh…right. Um…An-an-…erm…” I giggled I loved it when he stumbled…It was pretty rare, too. “Aw…man. Well…you know the rest. We better get to class. See ya at lunch, Kuna-chan!” And he was gone…I always surprised me that he never got caught us that…Every time I’d try using my powers one of the teachers would catch me and I’d have to come up with some crazy explanation, like; ‘It was a ghost, I swear!’ I walked in to my nest class. Oh, joy. Algebra. I sighed and sat down in the back.
“Okay, class. Today we’re going to go over--” That’s usually were I stopped listening. I was in my own world…I would think about what it would be like going to school with others of my kind…stuff like that. I came back from my dazed state when I felt all the eyes in the room on me.
“Uh…sorry? Was I supposed to do something?” I was really embarrassed. It was bad enough I was zoning…but to then get called on!
“Yes, come evaluate this expression on the board.” The teacher said as she finished writing it up…I slowly stood…walking up to the calk board and answered the problem in no time flat. This was the first time I had been called up to the board. I turned around and looked at the teacher who looked back. “I thought I to--”
“I did…” I pointed at the problem on the board. She stared at it for the longest time…then she looked astounded. “No, I didn’t use a calculator, if that’s what you’re thinking.”
“I see…well…your answer is correct.” My jaw dropped. No way! I never thought I’d get anything right, especially not in math! I was sent back to my seat and was allowed to zone the rest of the period…but this time I was thinking along the lines of; maybe now I’ll get some respect…I was sure it was a fluke though…I’d never get another problem correct. After math I had some stupid class they make me take…again…without Stryker-chan. Luckily it was one of those teachers that ignored my presence. So…all I really had to do was sit there…I was zoning out when the droning of the teacher stopped. ‘Stupid humans…wait…why did the teacher stop talking?’ I looked up at the front of the room…
“Kuna! Were is you’re homework?” Just my luck…he’s supposed to ignore me! I looked around drearily…I stopped one of the smarter humans homework. I studied it.
“Oh…that.” I reached into my backpack and pulled out an almost exact duplicate of the human’s paper. Only it was in my writing and with my name on it. I smiled and pasted it to the front. He looked at it with disgust. I knew he thought it was horrible that I got every question right. I was about to go back to my zoning when the principal walked in with a student that let off the same energy that Stryker does… ‘What the…could it be?’ I was being way to optimistic…but I had to cling to something.
“This is our new student, Roscoe.” I drooped when I heard the common human name… ‘Maybe he was near Stryker-chan or something…’ Roscoe bowed to the teacher then the class. ‘He acts like Stryker-chan…too polite…’ I thought…though I loved the way Stryker was overly polite. It was different when it was from someone else…
“Kuna!” The teacher yelled. I jumped. I wasn’t expecting to be called on twice in one day…I looked at him with bored eyes. “You’ll show Roscoe around.” I rolled my eyes. Again…the teachers prove their hatred for me. “Roscoe, you may sit were you please.” I was zoning again…about how horrible the next couple of weeks would be. I heard footsteps come toward me…but I ignored it.
“Excuse me? Kuna, wasn’t it?” Roscoe was standing by my desk.
“What do you want, New Kid.” I wasn’t at all please he had interrupted my train or thought. He smiled and gestured the seat next to me. He opened his mouth to say something… “One’s sitting there…no ever sits there.”
Roscoe laughed. “Don’t be so certain, Kuna.” He sat down. I looked at him in astonishment. I wasn’t expecting him to actually sit there. Neither did I want him too. I zoned the rest of class ‘till the bell rang. Roscoe stood up. “The bell rang didn’t it…?”
“Yeah…I gotta stay in a get yelled at.” I sighed. I was so used to this routine. Do something right get yelled at. Do something wrong get yelled at. Roscoe sat back down putting his feet on the desk. I glanced at him… “You can go you know.”
“Naw…I think I’ll wait. These humans are stupid.” He laughed.
I looked him over… “What do you mean?” I was very weary…many humans thought themselves demons…but they were just freaks.
He looked back at me with a completely serious expression, not like the stupid wanna-be-demon-humans. “I mean to say; I’m not like them. I wa--”
“Was forced to live among them?” I was amazed. I had always thought Stryker and I were the only ones. “So you’re--?”
“Heh. Yeah.” He leaded back in the chair and put his hands behind his head. “I was adopted into a human family at five…eleven years I lived a lie. I was told I’m not like humans…I’m something different…was never told what…I’ve always thought human’s were stupid…even at five…”
“And your name…?” I was very interested now.
“Humans named me…I didn’t have a name at five…”
“KUNA!” I sighed…stupid teacher.
“Yes, sir…?” I said as politely as I possible could. Roscoe laughed at my attempt.
“Why are you still here!? Go to lunch!”
“Yes… …sir.” I practically spat out the last word, which made Roscoe fall out of his chair laughing. I glared at him. “Don’t die, funny-boy.” I left. He followed, still laughing.
“What’s wrong…? I thought that was a very good attempt at courteousness.” He had finally stopped laughing. I glared at him and almost ran into Stryker. “Stryker-chan!”
“Kuna-chan!” He embraced me and spun me around before put me down. He looked at Roscoe. “You are…?” You just had to love when he was being protective.
“Me…? I’m Roscoe. New kid as your Kuna-chan called me…oh, and, funny-boy.” He held out his hand for Stryker to shake. Which he did…still glaring with one arm still around my waist…I looked from Stryker to Roscoe.
“Wada heck!?” Stryker looked at me curiously. Roscoe was completely confused.
