New Student

Zoe's POV

What a beautiful day it is outside! And here I am stuck in history class. Ugh! As the teacher continues to drone on about, pfft, I don't remember. All I do know is that if the teacher catches me nodding off in class again I will get a detention. A Saturday school detention. 'Must fight sleep.' I shut my eyes. My head starts to go down.

Splat!

My head jerks back up. 'I'm awake!' I glance to my right while pulling out a spit wad off of my face. Laura had a plastic straw, smirking at me, and ready to reload. How to describe Laura is simple. Today she is wearing a black shirt with red letters saying 'My give a DAMN"S busted!'. Her pants were a bit ragged with chains hanging out of her pockets. Her favorite color is black. I guess that is why she dyed her hair black. If I had to place her in a category I would choose gangster. I nodded my head slightly to her in thanks. I glance outside and sigh.

RRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!!

YES!! A five minute break before the next class! As I walk out Laura slaps me on the back, causing me to wince.

"It sure is a good thing I am here to keep you awake huh?"

"You mean, it is a good thing that Katana dared you to keep me awake."

"'By any means necessary,'" Laura mimicked horribly

"C'mon. We are going to be late."

"So?"

I roll my eyes and walk toward class.

Normal POV

Zoe walks into the classroom and scans the room until she sees Katana. Katana is combing her long, blond, shiny hair. Today she is wearing a one piece, green dress. Zoe sits down next to her. The bell rang and, right on cue, Laura comes waltzing in as if she had all the time to spare. She walks towards her friends and sits next to Zoe.

"Why do I have to be in the middle?" Zoe whines.

"So you won't fall asleep again, moron," Laura bluntly said.

"That wasn't nice to say," Zoe whispers back.

"I'm nice?"

"Both of you be quiet! If you haven't noticed yet class has begun!" Katana hisses.

Zoe apologizes while Laura snorts, mumbling, "Yes, miss goody two shoes," and faces the teacher.

Just as the teacher was about to hand out a group project on the hypothesis of a possible alternate dimensions, a knock is heard, and, when the door opened, there stood a strange looking girl. She wore a red cap. Her clothes looks like something dug up in the dark ages. She gives the class a pearly yellow smile. Some of the students gives her a hesitant smile back while everyone else gawks at her.

"Ah, how rude of me. Come in. Come in. Students, I would like for all of you to meet Lily Nogard. She is a foreign exchange student from Egypt."

Laura leans over and whispers to Zoe and Katana, "With a name like that, I would move too."

"Did you say something Laura?" the teacher asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Laura was just telling us about her unique and beautiful name, sir," Katana hastily explains before Laura could make a foolish retort.

"Aw, well take a seat Lily. Anywhere will do."

As Lily walked toward the back, everyone watched. Almost everyone. Zoe picked up her library book and began to read it, again. For the tenth time. Straight.

Odd meeting

School is finally over. The weekend starts as Katana and Zoe are waiting for the bus to arrive. Laura comes up to them with a big bag of cookies.

Katana looks at her with disapproval. "FYI, I am not gonna let you do that much longer."

"What? I was just telling that twerp, George, that he owed me for taking care of those bullies for him."

"Let me guess. He promised you cookies and twenty dollars."

Laura shoves a oreo cookie in her mouth, "Bingo. Here, want some?"

"No thanks."

"I'll have some!"

Laura givesZoe a cookie. Zoe takes it and munches on it while reading.

The bus arrives. Zoe sitsnear the window. Katana sits next to her. Laura would've sat further back but she caught sight of what Zoe is reading. She sat down one seat behind them.

"How much longer are you going to be reading that stupid book?" Laura asks.

Zoe lowers the book and frown.

"She might be reading it until she remembers every word and picture. If only you spent that time on your work." Katana sighed.

Zoe saves her page and sets the book down.

"I bet you fantasize that you were there." Laura teases, " That book is retarded. Same thing with the show. I mean, the people there either die or fights with some mutant freak!"

Zoe's eye twitches. She hates it when someone talks negatively about her favorite show. Balling up one of her fists, she whispers quietly and threatening, "I don't make fun of your favorite shows Laura. I suggest you do the same towards me or else."

"Or else what? You can't hurt me and y-" She was interrupted by a syrupy voice.

"Mind if I join you three?"

The girls look in shock (Zoe), horror (Katana), and amusement (Laura) as Lily sits next to Katana.

"Zoe, is it? What are you reading?"

Zoe snaps out of her shock and lifts the book up for Lily to see.

"It called Dragon Ball Z. It is the first manga of the series."

"Aw, yes. Wonderful place that is. Beautiful when there is little fighting going on." Lily spaces out. "Oops, I lost track of what I was saying. Zoe, mind if I ask you a few questions? If you could be in the world of Dragon Ball Z where would you be?"

Laura and Katana groans together. "Not again." "Zoe's gonna start rambling on about that dumb show again."

Zoe ignores them. "I guess a year or two before Raditz went to Earth."

"I see...Will you be alone?"

Zoe looks at her in confusion at first. "Alone? Oh I understand. Nope, my two friends will be with me." she said with a smile.

Lily's caught off guard. 'My, my. Even though her friends make fun of her, she still chooses them.' "I have one more question. What will be your abilities?"

Zoe opens her mouth but is interrupted.

"She wants to be a great inventor. She will be as strong as some psychopathic freak. Not to mention the ability to hide her power level."

Katana adds, "She also wants to have an extra appendage, though I don't know why, and the ability to control herself when she transforms into whatever that thing is called."

Zoe's face turns red as she mumbles, "Oozaru"

Laura snorts, "Whatever. Let's just call it a giant albino monkey, okay?"

Lily gets up. "Great! That's all I needed to know. I will give your friends abilities too. We might meet again in the future." With that said, Lily spins around and walks briskly off the bus.

"That was weird." Zoe said

"Well I think she just came here to pick on you Zoe. That wasn't very nice of her. Isn't that right Laura?"

"Yeah, Yeah. I'm sorry for picking on your manga, book, whatever your reading. Now what are we gonna do about our science project?"

That went unanswered as the bus drove off.

Yay! First chap done. R&R please!
