Chapter 2: Meeting the Mean Girl of Red Fountain! I mean boy.
After two days, it's finally the first official day of class. The first day was dedicated to getting settled in and the second well was the dance at Alfea College for fairies. Steven and I decided to stay here at Red Fountain. Steven said he wasn't really in the mood for parties. He seemed a bit upset about something, however I didn't ask. We just met. For me, well I don't know many people there so what's the point? Maybe next year? Well anyways, I've just woken up from my slumber. My eyelids were heavy, as if they were being held down by anchors. However, I force myself up but I end up falling off of bed. My back hit the floor with a loud thud! "Ah!", Steven jumped. "Oww....sorry Steven..", I groaned in pain. I clumsily stood up. "Are you ok?", he asked. "Yep! I'm good...", I yawned. "Ight..", the blue and black haired teen replied. "Well get up man! We got a big day today.", I informed. "Oh, I already called dibs on the bathroom!", I added as I hurried into the small room. "Alright.", he yawned. I quickly showered and dried my hair. It was pastel purple and styled pixie cut style. I then got some bandages and began to wrap my chest with bandages. It's not injured or anything. My chest just gets in the way when I battle. I'm not the only one who feels this way, right?? A while later, I put on my new school/hero uniform. It had the new battle gear smell. I looked at myself in the mirror and admired the uniform. It made me feel stronger and that I belong here. I felt proud. For years, I've worked hard to improve my skills yet I didn't who I wanted to be. For years, I've felt lost. Like any other person, I would try to find which path to follow but fail. There are so many dreams to choose from, I couldn't just choose one at the time. I want to do sword fighting, I want to empower women and show girls you don't have to follow tradition. You can CREATE your own road. Actually, not just girls. Boys too! All genders! Lastly, there is one secret wish that I want to embrace but I'm too embarrassed to....I want. "Um Rosario? Can you hurry it up?? We have to go soon and Ross really needs to take a leak.", Steven informed me. Oh glob. I got carried away with my speeches again, huh? I really need to work on that. "Sorry!!", I apologized and opened the door. My other roommate, Ross, quickly pushed me out of the way and ran inside! I felt kinda bad though.....oh well!
~Timeskip brought to you by Freckled Jesus~
Most the students nervously gathered at the outdoor battlefield like any other first day at a completely new school and not knowing if your at the right place. It's the first day of High School for almost everyone here, so of course we're nervous! What if we went to the wrong place? It'll be totes embarrassing. Oh glob, I sound like Princess Stella. "Hey, you ok Rosario?", Steven gently asked. "Y-Yeah! I'm just a bit nervous.", I answered. He pat my head, and reassured me everything will be alright. I'm glad I found a friend like him. A few minutes later passed by, a tall and muscular man approached the class. (BTW this teacher is an oc of mine) "Alright, we'll start introductions soon but first I gotta take roll!", our instructor informed us. He took roll and began his introduction as we sat on the seats surrounding the large arena. Ross sat next to Steven and I sat by Steven's other side. "I am Professor Jona and I will be your instructor in swordsman ship! All of you are at different levels. Some of you are experts and experienced and others are in between. There are also those here who are beginners but there are others....who are below beginners!", Professor Jona stated. Steven hung his head slightly down and Ross had a blank expression. "Today we will have practice duels just to see where you all are in the class and allow me to help you all improve. It won't affect your grade, so worry not. In addition, it will at least take the whole period. First up is Jordan and Rosario!", the teacher yelled out. Alright! Let's show them what I can do! Before I stood up, Steven hit me on the back. "You got this man.", he encouraged with a smile. "Good luck, kid.", Ross said. "Thanks guys!", I thanked them. I better not disappoint. The guy named Jordan also stood up. We both made our way to the battle arena and each went on an opposite side.
"Oh please, I'll beat you in a second.", Jordan scoffed. "Well aren't you cocky?", I smirked. Oh, this is gonna be fun! "Alright, begin!", Professor Jona exclaimed. I quickly charge towards him and strike at him! Yet, he managed to block. He swings at me but I dodged. It seemed we were just doing the same routine over and over again for hours. It was like a dance. Our body's movements were telling the others a story of two opposing forces. They were slowly dancing the rest of the class to our climax. Our strength begin to overwhelm each other. His strikes are beginning to get more frequent. I blocked as much as I can. I began to back away a bit to catch my breathe. A few seconds later, I decided follow my instinct and fight back with all the power I could! I strike back with double the force as before with sheer determination. Later on, after what seemed like hours, my knees began to feel weak. They fell onto the ground along with the rest of my body. My heart was pounding like crazy and sweat was flowing down on my body, as if it was crying. My mouth and throat begged for water to quench my thirst. Jordan showed a triumphant smirk. He's really good. I was the one who was cocky not him. I really shouldn't have underestimated him. Jordan looked at me and offered me his hand. I looked at it. "Are you going to grab it or not? I don't have all day you know.", he complained. I grabbed it and he pulled me up close. "I told you I was gonna to beat you, girly. ~", he whispers to me. With that, he left. I'm too tired to get pissed off and argue. I just made my way back to my friends. "Alex, Steven, you two are up!", the professor yelled out. "Do your best.", I tiredly smiled. You know trying to be supportive here right after getting my ass kicked! "Knock him dead!", Ross exclaimed. "Thanks ;-;", Steven said nervously. He, along with Alex, made their way to the arena and got on opposing sides. They took out their swords. "Ready?', Professor Jona asked. The two of them nodded. "Alright, begin!!", our instructor yelled out! This is it.
