Chapter 4 : Back to School

Amaya's POV
It's been two weeks since we moved to our new house, I've been staying at home with Addison, Angel, Aubrey, Abigail, Aria and Ashton while Ana works a part time job. The school Ana and I were enrolled in said that if we can continue to afford the tuition fees of the school we can go even if we're living alone, the elementary school we went to and the other kids currently go to said the same thing. Today's our first day at the new school.

"Ama! The other kids are ready, we have to drop them off at school so hurry up!" Ana shouted.

"Coming!" I shouted back, grabbing my backpack and slipping my shoes on.

"Took you long enough, I already got everyone in the car, we're just waiting for you."

"That's because you guys got dressed while I was making breakfast!"

"Just get in or we're going to be late." She said as I opened the door to the car and sat down in my seat. Ana sat down in the drivers seat and used her magic to move the car again.

"Are you going to do that everytime we drive?" Aubrey asked.

"We've been over this Aubrey, none of us know how to drive, it's our only option." I answered.

"Right, yeah, I know." She pouted as we arrived at the elementary school. I got out of the car and picked up Ashton.

"Addison, Angel, can you take Aubrey and Abigail to their classes?" Ana asked picking up Aria.

"Yeah, sure." Angel replied.

"Have a good day then, you'll have to walk home on your own though, Ana and I's school ends after yours so we won't be able to pick you up."

"Got it, at the end of the day we'll pick up Ashton, Aria, Abigail and Aubrey and walk home." Addison said, as she walked towards the elementary part of the school with Abigail, Aubrey and Angel.

"Well, we should drop these two off and head to our school." Ana said.

"Yeah." I muttered, walking towards the daycare part of the school. When we got into the building we signed Aria and Ashton in and left them with the daycare workers. We got back in the car and drove to our new middle school.

"We're here." Ana muttered, getting out of the car.

"Are we late?" I said grabbing my backpack and getting out of the car as well.

"Not quite, but we'd better be quick."

"Let's go then!" I shouted, running towards the school.

"Wait up!" She shouted, running behind me.

"You're the one who said we'll be late!"

"At least watch where you're going!"

"Yeah, yeah, you're acting like my mom!"

"Mom..."

"Sorry! I didn't mean to bring it up..."

"It's okay! Just watch where you're going or you're going to hit someone!"

"We're here! And on time..." I said when we finally got to the door of our classroom.

"Alright, let's go in then!" She said, opening the doors and walking in.

"Right!" I said, following her in. We sat down in our desks and waited for the teacher.

"Hey, you two! You're the orphan Miki's right?" A girl in our class asked, rather rudely.

"Yes, but we'd perfer if you didn't bring it up." I answered calmly, despite wanting to punch her.

"Why not? You and your siblings are famous! Lost three guardians in one week!"

"You're so asking to be punched..." I muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, but could you please not bring up our parents or uncle, it's very hard to lose someone you think of as a parent..."

"You're no fun, you're too calm, you're supposed to get mad or start crying."

"You'd get more interesting reactions by bullying almost anyone but us, not that you should be bullying anyone."

"Calm down class!" The teacher called as he walked into the room. "To start our year off we'll be having an assembly with all the other students, please follow me to the gym." He added after everyone had stopped talking. We followed him to the gym and lined up. Many people went up to the stage to talk, we were told pretty much everything about the school.

"And to chose your rank in the school we will be having a free for all fight, the more people you beat, the higher your rank!" The pricipal said. "The assembly is over now, the fight starts now too." He added walking off the stage. Within seconds the students had pulled out their weapons and started fighting eachother. Ana and I followed their leads and pulled out our weapons and joined the fight.

"Dang it, my gun won't be of much use here." I muttered as I kicked one kicked one student in the stomach and put my knife to anothers neck.

"No weapons will of much use because we can't risk killing anyone!" Ana answered.

"To all the kids hesitating to fight because they're scared of killing other students, the school grounds are protected, you can't be killed or kill while on them." A teacher shouted.

"Well that helps." I muttered, pulling my gun out and shooting a student in the shoulder. Students were falling all around us, but Ana and I as well as a couple others hadn't even gotten hit once. One stood out from the rest, she was a little girl, just as short if not shorter than me, she was using a gun and a knife just like me. The girl who was bullying Ana and I charged at me but I just kicked her in the stomach and shot her back.

"Ouch, you know it doesn't kill us but it still hurts..." She muttered from the ground.

"That's payback for making fun of Ana and I."

"Well, I win the bet!"

"What?"

"Sorry, my friends made a bet that you wouldn't react to bringing up your parents, mean I known, but I wanted to prove you weren't heartless."

"Okay?" I said, shooting another kid in the leg and kicking him to the ground. I looked over to find Ana fighting the girl I had noticed earlier, she seemed to be losing. A kid tried to sneak up on me but I just flapped me knife over and stabbed it into his leg. Like I thought, Ana fell to the ground, she had lose to the girl. It was just me and her now. She started walking towards me, her gun pointed at me.

"Before we fight, I'd like to know the name of the person I might lose to."

"I don't normaly give people my name but I often go by April." She muttered, handing me a card, then stabbing me in the stomach. "I also often play dirty." She wispered, pulling the knife out of my stomach. Just as the teachers had said, the would healed right away, but it still but so much I fell to the ground.

"That cuncludes the fight! The only one standing is the winner for the first years." A teacher shouted.

"Sorry, I kind of tricked you there." April said, reaching out her hand to help me up.

"It's okay, it was a free for all, there was no rules against it. I was actually planning something similar myself, that's why I asked for your name." I responded, grabbing her hand and letting her help me up.

"Well, what's your name then?" She asked.

"Amaya..."

"Can I call you May then? Call me after school, I want to talk, the numbers on the card I gave you."

"Sure..." I muttered as she ran off.

"Back to class kids!" A teacher shouted. As instructed, all the kids walked back to their classes, and I followed them.
