*DISCONTINUED* Chemical Reaction (SCMAnex)

Chapter 1

Please keep in mind I know nothing about how American schools work except from what I’ve learnt in movies and that isn’t a lot. A lot of what this school is based on is completely improvised and to some extent, how I imagine what a school in America is like. Just a heads up.

-------------------------------------

Walking through the front gates, Steven felt numerous pairs of eyes bore into the back of his head. He felt extremely uncomfortable and could feel his stomach tighten with each step and all these people watching his every move really didn’t help. 

He sped up his pace, thinking that if he moved faster it would help. As he came across the front of the main building he noticed a stone rock with the initials of the school engraved on a plate of steel surrounded by pieces of bark. He sighed, wondering why his parents chose to send him to such a nice looking school to say the least; his old school was pretty ordinary, but seemed like a massive downgrade compared to this.

Steven’s eyes darted upwards and back towards the large building, hoping that he was heading in the right direction. He made his way towards the buildings entrance, two large glass doors with wooden panelling either side. As he grasped the handle he felt his hands start to sweat and with one final large breath, he opened the door and stepped inside.

He was hit with the immediate refreshing feeling of the offices cool air-conditioning and knew he was in the right place. He adjusted his bags strap on his shoulder before walking up towards what he presumed was the receptionists desk.

He shuffled his feet awkwardly waiting for the receptionist to finish her phone call. After a few moments she hung up the phone and looked up from her desk. “Can I help you?” she asked in a cheery manner, revealing her face. She had medium blonde hair pulled back into a bun, with black framed glasses hiding her light green eyes. She was a small lady, both in height and body, or as far as Steven could tell. She looked far too young to be working at a school, but Steven didn’t dare question it.

“Uh yeah, hi. I’m new and I was told to come here to get my class schedule…” he said awkwardly, fiddling with his hands.

“Oh, you’re Steven right?” she asked, sorting through various documents on her desk.

“Yeah…” he answered, wondering how she’d just assume he was the right person.

“Alright, well it seems your form class is 12-D with Mr. Isan and I’ll quickly print out a copy of your schedule, I’m sure your fellow students will show you where your classes are.” She explained in a mediocre tone, like she had said the same thing a million times over, which seemed like she had.

Steven just nodded, taking out his phone from his pocket, playing with the home button nonchalantly while he waited.

“Okay, here you go,” she smiled handing out the white piece of paper for him to take, “Your form class is in building D which is exactly left from this office so you shouldn’t have a problem finding it, form classes start in about two minutes, so you arrived just in time.”

“Okay… thank you” Steven muttered, she just smiled up and him and went back to whatever she was working on prior to him coming in.

Steven folded the piece of paper in half, thinking he’d just read it when he was in form class to avoid any awkward conversations he might have. He wasn’t necessarily shy, the complete opposite really, he just didn’t want to rush into meeting a bunch of people and then having to choose between those people to get to know better, he wanted to know everyone at the same pace, so he’d just wait for someone to come up and talk to him.

As he headed towards a huge brick building with the letter ‘D’ on the side, he heard what he presumed was the first bell to head to form class, his accusations were soon proven correct as he noticed numerous students moving from their usual spots and heading to the various large buildings.

When he finally made it up the stairs, he opened the piece of paper that had his schedule printed on it to check what room his first class was in, room D-3. As he approached the room he noticed the door was open and could see what he presumed was Mr. Isan inside. Steven quietly knocked on the door frame, not sure what else to really do.

“Oh, I’m sorry, how long have you been standing there for?” he asked, getting up from his desk and making his way towards Steven. He was a middle aged man, with dark grey hair and thin framed glasses. He dressed how Steven could only explain as the stereotypical teacher, black pants up to his waist with a blue checkered shirt tucked into them. Black dress shoes and a blue tie with small bird prints on them.

“No, I only just go here, um, this is room D-3 right? And you’re Mr. Isan?” Steven asked, hoping he wasn’t wrong so he wouldn’t further embarrass himself.

“That’s correct, and I presume you’re the new kid… Stanley was it?” he asked, shuffling through a few papers on his desk.

“S-Steven sir” he stated, adjusting his bag strap for no real reason.

“Ah, sorry Steven, you can take a seat anywhere you wish and do as you please until the rest of the students arrive, no technology or drawing silly doodles though.” He explained, taking a seat again and sorting through his papers more thoroughly.

Steven walked to the mid-section of the class, taking a seat at the window side, not wanting to sit at the front and seem too eager but also not wanting to sit in the back and have what he guessed would be where the popular kids would sit.

He placed his bag on the side of his desk, opening the sheet of paper and studying his schedule. It seemed like his next class was Chemistry in room G-5 with Mrs. Stewarts. He sighed, sitting back in his chair and muttered a small “alright” to himself before folding the paper and watching as more students walked into the classroom.

The chapters won't always be this long, probably half of this length, I just wanted to explain a lot of Steven's side in one chapter before Kevin's introduced.

Other than that I hope you enjoyed this part and hopefully I'll upload a part every 2 days, but no promises, I'm a lazy prick.

Take care.
