And Yet So Different

Y/n POV

"No give it back!", I giggled around at lunch. I was sitting with Maggie in the canteen and we were eating pasta. It was a calm day, I had english, p.e. and math. So, just science left. Maggie and I only had a few classes together. Science was one of them and we were good at it but occasionally started talking and laughing and got send to the office.

"Haha no come here and get it!", Maggie shouted across the table, waving with a small notebook.

It was a story I wrote. I love writing stories in different languages, this one was spanish!

"You do not even understand what is written there! So give it! I can just tell you what it is about!", I planted. "Ok ok ok here! I am listening.",

Maggie responded.

"Ok so basically there is a girl. She is in love with a boy from her class but he ended up getting kidnapped and the girl is passiona—", I got interrupted by the bell ringing. Maggie got up, grabbed her stuff and said: "Tell me later okay? We can't be late again or Miss Miller will send us to the office again." "Well yeah lets not get late then. I can't go there... again!", I said with a nervous laugh.

We got up, put the plates back to the dish-station and walked out of the hall. As we stepped out, Miss Miller was just in front of us, she was not one of the teachers who would wait in their class but she is also never... NEVER late!

She was tall, around 5ft 9 maybe, long shorter brownish hair with lighter hair strains in it. She wore a cute white dress with colorful flowers on it and high heels which made her become even taller. Her Glasses perfectly summed up her features but poorly the ring on her finger told all of us to stay away (although none of the boys ever did but she took it with humor)

We walked down the hall with her. When we arrived at her room in another corridor, a few people were eying me with an angry and disgusted expression. They do not really bully me, but nobody except Maggie really liked me. I was different in a way that no one could figure out. But I did not really care. I did not need nor wanted the attention from everyone, I was glad to have a best friend and not sad that the others did not want to be friends with me but although I was a little botherd by the looks I got.

Miss Miller opened the door and all the student went to their seats. Maggie and I always sat in the mid row but directly next to the window. It is kind of hidden from the teachers desk but if you wanted, you can still participate well.

She greeted us and started with todays lesson. It was a simple but not boring at all. At the end of the lesson Miss Miller whistled for our attention because the group project was always pretty loud. I hated group project but this time it was only with three people and i was with Eliza and Maggie so it was fine. Eliza is a quiet, but really kind person. I never spoke much to her and we barely know each other but i don't think she hates me like the others.

"I have an announcement to make!", she started. I could feel her eyeing me but I didn't look up to meet her glaze. Instead I just simply stopped working and looked over to Maggie, who lokked at Miss Miller.

"As you all know the upcoming holidays include the Summer-Town Sports Games and our school will participate! For each category/sport we win, our school will get 1k$, for each second spot we make we will get 500$ and for each third spot we make we will get 200$. It is sponsored by a huge company! If you want to take part on that event, i will hang out a list with different sport types and the times for each sport. You can participate in multiple sport at once as long if they do not overlap!"

My eyes widened as I heard that.

I played tennis and i did gymnastics but these two things were never combinable. Although the orphanage where i lived offered to pay for sports, you could only make one sport. All these were in-house offers and some of them weren't good. I had to chose one, tennis or gymnastics so i choose gymnastics because i knew Maggie was also in a tennis club and sometimes she would go play with me and even got an offer from the tennis club for some kind of scolarship but I coudn't take it baceuse i didnt have time.

The orphanage was strict but caring. We had to be home at 7pm or we had to help in the kitchen for a day after school. We had to attend at dinner and we had to be in our room by 8pm, sleeping by 10pm. In the morning we had to be awake by 6am and the bathrooms closed by 8, where everyone should attend in school. Yeah school, some people would go to the school next to the orphanage. It's a school just for the kids of the orphanage but you did not have to go there. Like me, I was not there. Mostly because i was on this school when my parents still lived so they just left me there.

"So are you going to sign up for that?", Maggie ripped me out of my thought and I noticed most of the students were gone by now and Maggie was waiting for me. I quickly stood up and packed my stuff to leave. "Of course I will! And let me tell you, I will try to do both, gymnastics AND tennis. That would be SO great", she looked at me with wide eyes and I noticed I was a little loud right there because not only Maggie was staring with a smirk, I turned around and saw Miss Miller staring at me as well with a big smile. Our eyes locked a second before I took my head down in shame and finished packing my stuff.

"Well i am hoping to see you there them, Miss Jones. I think you would really have a chance to win. You seem pretty athletic.", Miss Miller smiled kindly and i encouraged myself to smile back. I quickly followed Maggie out of the room. "I will take a look at the list in the hallway, I promise!", I said as i walked past her and out of the room.

Wow, my first chapter. Fell free to leave comments, ideas or just simply your opinion to this first chapter. It is not Marvel related, i know. Yet! But it will definitely go there!
