"Wake up."
"Hngrh?"
"Wake up Ruby."
"Hrrgggnn, five more minutes."
"C'mon, you have school today."
"Dang it." I mumbled.
"I'll meet you downstairs." Mom said.
Great, now I hafta go to a totally new school and I don't even now anyone! I got out of bed and got ready to go to the most dreaded place on Earth.
If you are wondering, my name's Ruby and I first lived in Johto but then moved to Hoenn. We then moved back to Johto but the bad thing is I have to go to school now. That really sucks.
I slung my yellow backpack over my shoulder and went downstairs. Mom was cleaning the table while Dad was eating the rest of his breakfast.
"Morning Ruby," he said, as he put the plate in the sink.
"G'mornin'." I replied.
"Ruby are you all set?" Mom asked.
"I guess...."
"Okay, off to your new school."

The good thing is that I didn't have to ride the bus. Mom dropped me off and I had to go to the front office to get my homeroom number. The bad thing about moving in January is that people already have their frineds and form their own little groups. The new kids are usually left out.
"Here you go," the assistant said as she handed me the paper.
"Thanks," I mumbled back. I looked at the paper as I left the office. My homeroom was in room 1.06. I read the numbers on the wall and saw it said 1.12.
Okay, so far it's easy. All I hafta do it follow the numbers down. As I walked down the hall the numbers gradually got smaller. 1.08, 1.07, and finally 1.06. I read the name on the door. "Mrs. Opal" With a trembling hand I knocked on the door and waited.

Before I evenn knew it, I was whisked away into the classroom and being introduced to everyone. Mrs. Opal just couldn't stop talking! She just kept yammering on and on about stuff like "be nice to the new kid" and "treat people fairly". I saw out of the corner of my eye a kid with electric green hair take out an iPod and stuffing the ear buds into his ears. How I wish I had something to cover my ears now...
"Okay, what was your name again?" Mrs. Opal asked which nearly made me jump.
"Oh! Erm, Ruby..."
"Well you can have a seat next to Red."
"Thanks." I dropped my bookbag next to the desk and slumped in the chair. This is the worst day of my life...

As usual with all new kids, I sat alone at lunch. The food looked totally inedible so I just left it alone to rot on my tray. Gotta tell Mom to make me lunch from now on. As the minutes passed by, I became so hungry that I took my fork and started to eat some so called "rice". The first moment I tasted it, I spit it all back out. I felt like I was going to be sick as I gently put the fork back down. It tasted like someone took paint chippings and sprinkled them with sugar. And it had a really bad aftertast. Why, why?....

Nearing the end of class, I remebered most of my classmates' names. I remember Sapphire the most because she can't stop staring at me or something like that. It creeps me out. There's also this girl named Crystal who dresses up like a secret agent with sunglasses....I think she needs therapy. There's this really nice girl named Yellow and an evil, rude one named Blue. That's all I can remember for now. I figured out there are only 9 people in this class counting myself. This must be a class for the special needs kids. They must've run outta room for the other homerooms and I got stuck here. Great, just great.
The dismissal bell ran. I never heard a most beautiful sound in my entire life. I bounded out the door before anyone else and I bet they thought I was crazy. But I didn't care. It was the the end of the day.................................................................................................................










At least, until tommorrow. I groaned and slowed my pace down to a brisk walk. "I'd wish tommorow never comes..." but I as soon as I said that, it made me feel even worse. As I slowly walked towards the doors, I didn't have time to react fast enough. I was hit at a speed of about 180 mph and tumbled toward the ground.
