Discovering The New Kid

crystal-mist

Chapter 1

Child Prodigy

Alice's P.O.V

The summer had finally come to an end. The whole Bakugan incident was like a long dream. Everything is more or less normal now. I looked up at the school building. Today is the first day of school.

"Good day Alice." greeted Mira as she ran towards me. I smiles and greeted her as well. Then we made our way to class. I sighed, I missed the brawlers dearly. I was back in Russia and in my old school.

"Hi girls...I really missed you." yelled Myleen as she joined us. I looked at the list of assigned classes. I found my name. Three other names caught my eye. They were Mira, Myleen and Klaus… I knew that Klaus would be attending a school in Russia but I didn't think that we would end up in the same school.

As we made our way to our class I saw Klaus there. He looked at me waved. "Hey" he said.

"Hello Klaus…Good day to you." I said smiling. I noticed Mira and Myleen staring at me surprised. Then I excused myself and made my way to class with the two amazed girls.

"Wow Alice. You know that cutie?" asked Myleen.

"Shy much?" Mira retorted, and then she continued. "Seriously Alice, you know that guy?"

I smiled and nodded, only to hear their gasps.

"Alice….Do you uhm… Uhm… Like him." asked Myleen cautiously.

"Yes of course I do." I answered without thinking. The both of them gasped once more. Then I realized the misunderstanding I had created.

"No…No…no I meant that I like him…As a friend. Nothing else...DO you hear Me.?" I asked horrified at their train of thought.

"Whatever, whatever that is what they all say...We are just friends, nothing more and yadda, yadda." said Mira in a highly unconvinced tone.

I sighed in defeat. How was I going to convince them that I was Not in LOVE with Klaus? They were really persistent and I knew that. I took a seat near the window and set my bag down.

The teacher came in the class and welcomed all of us, and then she began introducing the new students one by one. When she came to a particular person the whole class gasped. I looked up and I saw a guy with mint-green hair and strangely colored gray eyes. I then realized that I knew him. He was that child prodigy.

He was that young genius that the newspapers often focused on. His career was strange. He was a genius in about everything he did, at least the newspapers claimed so. I realized that everyone was whispering.

"Hello, my name is Ace." He introduced himself. His voice was cold and emotionless with no enthusiasm what-so-ever. I stared at him.

"Ah yes Ace you may take the seat next to Myleen." said the teacher. Myleen raised her hand and he walked over to her and took the seat to her right. He did not utter a single word. Talk about Attitude! But, something about him made me look at him. Something made me interested to know more about this young genius. Was he as amazing as all the reports claimed?

Just then he looked at me. His gray eyes met mine. I could see no emotion in those eyes of his. I guess being a well-renown prodigy did that to you. I felt my face heat up as his eyes met mine and I quickly turned away and avoided his gaze.

The first two classes went by uneventfully. Then it was P.E. I looked at our teacher pleadingly; half hoping that she would excuse me. But, she showed no such intention. I sighed realizing that I had to choose Basketball or Football. In the end I chose basketball because I didn't want to run around in the sun too much.

I played okay. But as luck would have it Ace was in the opposite team and he ran circles around everyone. It wasn't long before it was a 42-5 lead and of course Ace's team was winning. After a while the ball ended up in Klaus's possession. He charged towards the opposite basket. Ace was in his way. I was curious to see who was better. Klaus was good at basketball, who would have figured it though?

Right in front of Klaus stood Ace in defense. Klaus jumped up to take a shot. It looked like he'd make it but Ace fly-swatted it just in time. Before I knew what was happening I saw the ball heading towards me.

It flew at a great speed and hit me right on the head.

I was so shocked that I shrieked before I lost my balance and plummeted to the ground.

I was a bit ashamed of myself. Such a lot of people had gathered together.

And I could hear lots of voices all talking at the same time…"Oh...You okay?"

"Are you hurt?"

"Alice, are you alright?"

I smiled and nodded, a bit uneasy with all the attention. I mean, I had only let out an insignificant little scream. I rubbed my head gingerly. "I am alright you guys." I confirmed.

I was still on the ground when Ace walked up to me. Everyone stared up at him in surprise. My heart however was beating like crazy.

"It was a weak shot…. Get over it." He said, gently patting my head and then walking away.

My eyes followed him in surprise. I know that my eyes only met his for about 5 second. But, in that short period of time, his strange grey eyes caught my attention. I couldn't get the mysterious look of those eyes out of my head.

I stood up slowly, still in surprise.

"Aw…Alice you are so lucky. He TOUCHED you." squealed one of the girls.

I slowly left P.E. But his grey eyes were still on my mind.

Only, his voice was cold. But I think that I noticed a tint of kindness. Just a tint though. I could tell that he was one of those people who liked to keep their feelings to themselves.

Yet, in spite of all that. I wanted to know more. I wanted to now more about that green haired, grey eyed genius.
