Who: Rei and open to Minako and Serenity What: Rei is a target for bullies. So her first day of school she has to get cornered. When: This afternoon after school let out Where: Just outside the main entrance of Lawrence High School Warnings: Bullying as only teenage girls can do. Everything else TBA
After classes were done for the day, Rei gathered her things from her locker and slipped them into her bag. Slinging it over her shoulder, she headed off to wait for Minako and Serenity outside. Or at the very least she'd wait for Minako so they could walk together. The first day had gone better than she'd thought it would. At least she had that out of the way so her reservations about school here could dissipate. She liked her classes, even had a few with Minako and Serenity. Though it was going to be difficult to keep up with having to translate constantly between Japanese and English, but Rei was smart, and if nothing else, she had an incredible work ethic. She had been a good student, no where near the genius that Ami was, but she worked hard and got the grades to pay off the hard work. It would just be extra challenging to do the same here, but she'd do it. Even if she had to get a Japanese-English dictionary for herself.
Stepping outside, Rei walked down the stairs to wait there for the other two to catch up. She stumbled forward slightly as someone ran into her shoulder, causing her bookbag to slide off her shoulder and fall to the ground. Rei spun around to spout a retort only to see three girls standing there. It took her a moment, but she remembered they were the ones that had stared at her and whispered amongst themselves as she'd passed by their table at lunch. Wonderful, her bully magnet had all ready attracted some. Well she could handle this.
"Oh look, she dropped her bag. How clumsy!" The first said. Rei wasn't going to bother with a response, so she bent down to pick up her bag when one of the other girls kicked at it, moving it out of Rei's reach. Glaring up at the girl, Rei was now going to give them a reaction.
"Stop that! What did I ever do to you?" She was more than ready to fight this fight out. Though she just hoped it didn't get physical because that wouldn't look good for her first day here. And she'd promised Connor she'd blend in. Getting in fights didn't exactly go with blending in.
"Oh, she does speak!" One of the other girls said.
"And here I thought she was just creepy and incapable of speaking English." The first said, tilting her head a bit.
"I can speak English perfectly well." Which Rei could, though her accent didn't really help that. And the three girls started laughing as her l's came out more as r's. Which only drew attention from the other people coming and going around them. Rei glanced around her, seeing all the eyes on her. Oh this was not good. She now had a bully target set squarely on her back.
"Oh really? Well Little Miss Perfect, why don't you show us your remarkable skills in English?"
"Leave me alone." Again, Rei tried to pick up her bag only to have it grabbed away from her reach and emptied of its contents. "Hey!" Rei exclaimed, now ready to just punch the girl for that.
"Oh look, I think she's mad!" The first girl said with a laugh.
"Now that's cute." The girl who'd emptied Rei's bag said. She then tossed the empty bag at Rei. Grumbling slightly, Rei caught it, glaring at the girls before bending down to start gathering her things before the wind started to blow them away. At least until one of the girls pushed her over, causing the three to laugh all over again. Rei glared up at them spitefully, ready to just get up and punch them flat.
