Code revenge chapter 3

I emerged from my dorm, a new day, hopefully the beginning of the end for this doomed little planet. I made my way over to the girls bathroom and made myself ready for school. This was only for appearances of course, though the water did feel nice (I was more advanced than specters of the past and one of the perks that came with it is that water didn't bother me).

When I came out of the bathroom I ran into the dark haired girl with the pink shirt that daddy had used as a puppet a few times, Sissi I think it was, unfortunately she was not an ally right now.

"So, your the new kid daddy was talking about. Well I'm just going to warn you right now, stay away from my Ulrich!"

"Don't worry, I have no interest in chasing after a guy who clearly has no taste."

Strange, I had the feeling that Ulrich and Yumi were together, either my perception was off, or this person was lying.

"What is THAT supposed to mean, I'm the most popular, stunning girl in school, way better than you'll ever be!" and she walked away in a huff

"I see you've met Sissi."

I spun around (a little more quickly than I probably should have) to see Yumi staring at me.

"A little on edge aren't we, you must be new. Hi, I'm Yumi Ishiyama."

"Morgan X. Nice to meet you Yumi."

It was so easy for me to put on a facade, while I would love to strangle the geisha that helped destroy my father, here I was shaking her hand and being all friendly, maybe I should join this school's drama troop.

"That was Sissi, I would avoid her if I were you. She's a bit of a blonde."

"I can see that. OK, Yumi, I have to get ready for class, see you later."

I turned my back to her and  walked away, making sure to slow down to human pace, and went into my room. One thing I would have to do is get my hands on a powerful laptop, but for now I would have to make do with the inferior machine the school provided. I typed up some codes and sent a  surveillance program through the schools system. There was still some time until class started so I just sat on the bed, bored. It was quiet in the dorm, lonely. I decided to translate a little friend of mine, my pet Kankrelat named Kanky. He was so happy to see me, ran up to me and nuzzled my side.

"I missed you too, Kanky." I said with a small smile on my face,

I pat him on the head and rubbed the back of his neck, for now he was the only piece of home I could afford to have, and I would have to have him hidden. But before I knew it, the bell rang and I had to go to class.

I came into the Science classroom and sat down in the only seat available, next to Jeremie. Well...he'd be close if I decided to electrocute him, but I still didn't like sitting next to my mortal enemy.

The teacher walked in and said. "Class, today we have a new student, would you please introduce yourself?"

Grudgingly, I got up in front of the class and introduced myself simply as Morgan X. and sat back down. I kept to myself and stared at the desk for the remainder of class, then left without a word. Weren't you supposed to learn things at a school? Because those equations were so simple I could have figured them out when I was an infant.

My next class was quite a ways away, so I went into the courtyard as a shortcut. I could feel the eyes of students on me, some hushed comments were said and one kid even dared to call out.

"Hey, new kid, what's with all the black and red, you're even more goth than the Japanese chick."

Big mistake, kid. Nobody makes fun of ME! I saw he was near a vending machine, a little low grade electrical shock wouldn't hurt, would it?

"OW! Stupid machine electrocuted me!" and he kicked it, hurting himself further and making me smile. I watched to see if he would hurt himself anymore, unfortunately he didn't.

"I'm not goth. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't use demeaning stereotypes like that."

Every single person in that courtyard was staring after me as I walked away, it was extremely uncomfortable. And at that moment I realized how alone in this world I really was.

I'm feeling out of place, I'm feeling strange
