rThe Reality Chapter Five: The Fair, and a friend
I woke up to a few surprises this morning, the first being I actually stayed dry the entire night, the second was that when I just got out of bed someone was standing in the doorway of my bedroom, and I had not covered up yet, it had been quite awhile sense someone has actually seen me in a diaper but I guess this time it was not avoidable. My L.A and Social Studies teacher walked into my room without saying anything and tapped me on the shoulder while I was making my bed. I jumped, I had not expected him to come until I was ready, he also ruined me being dry at the moment to.
"Yes sir." I squeaked while looking up at him.
He replied with a small chuckle. "Here are the results for all of your tests, I hope you will be as surprised as some of us where."
He then handed me a folder and walked away out of my room and down the stairs. I quickly tore open the folder excited to see what was inside, my jaw had dropped as I saw the percentages I had gotten on each test. Biology 91%, Social Studies 87%, so far so good I thought to myself. I had turned to my last page to see the Language Arts mark, 80% I had barely gotten through that test written right beside my mark for L.A there was a small doodle of a cartoon character saying good job. That made me smile I decided that today sense I did not have classes on Fridays and the next few days I would not able to take P.E and the music teacher was the one in charge of the talent contest that I had no classes for the next three days so I decided just to stay in my diaper and t-shirt for the rest of the day and there was no reason for me to get dressed today, my breakfast was brought up to me by the headmaster this morning, it was different he never came up here for anything if he wanted to tell me something he normally just sent up a note with my food.
"So Kyoga, I believe you have seen that you passed all your tests with the requited marks to attend the fair." He said to me, acting like I may not have checked yet.
I did my best to reply with my voice. "Yes sir, I did see that, I had really worked hard to get the marks."
I smiled as I may have said it slowly but I did not stutter or mispronounce anything. The headmaster kneeled down to my level and patted me on the head smiling
"Just to let you know during the fair you will be escorted by a teacher." he paused for a second and then continued. "However you will be allowed to talk with the other students and make friends this time, but you still have to wear the cloak with the hood up at the fair, even when your on stage."
"Finally, I have been waiting forever to be allowed to!" I exclaimed while jumping into the air a small bit.
The headmaster and then stood up and took his leave waving good bye as he descended the stairs. This day could not have been better so far I had so much great news today, I began to prep what song I was going to play. I was just filled with joy being able to go outside of this room and interact with the students that I had not noticed that it has started to rain. I later looked out the window to see the downpour. I looked down to where they were setting everything up for the fair they were still continuing it but if it was still raining tomorrow they were definitely going to cancel it. Just then a giant crack of thunder boomed through the sky. I had jumped thunder had always scared me it was loud and there was nothing I could do to quite it I did love to see the lightning rip through the sky but the loud noise that followed always scared me, being alone while this was happening did not make me happy before I would have Kiara by my side and when she was it was all ok. I crawled into my bed and covered my ears and waited for the storm ceased, it had went had been going on for hours. The kitchen staff had brought my food to me throughout the time the storm was going on, they had all would laugh at me when then thunder came because I could not help but jump every time. One of the ladies even tried to comfort me through part of the storm but I just ended up pushing her away, for it reminded me of Kiara, I was trying to be strong and not live in the past. The storm had ceased an hour before it was time for bed. I was still shaking though because I could not grip reality, I had no idea if I was going to be ok that night. When I ended up falling asleep I just had nightmares the entire night. I would wake up and scream for Kiara or Lex, the ghosts of my past had been haunting me that night. The pain did not end for me.
I woke up that morning and changed myself, and took a shower as well. I got dressed and put on the cloak and the necklace. By the time I finished getting ready my escort was there waiting for me I grabbed my guitar and put it in its case. We then walked down the stairs and exited my room there were also stalls with kids selling baked good in the halls it was neat to see all this, we walked around the school for a bit checking out everyone things. I had noticed a lot of the kids staring at me while walking around. A few of the girls waved at me and I had waved back just to hear them giggle and run away.
Everyone was still used to not being allowed to talk or be around me that no one had come to talk to me at all, looks like I was still an outcast. Just then a girl had walked up to me on her uniform she had a badge saying student body president. She was a fox like me, she even had white fur with black tips on her ears and tail. She was quite a bit taller than me though so I had to look up to see her in the eyes.
"Hi my name is Felli, what is your name?" She had asked me in such a polite way but at the same time it felt as if she had authority over me.
I replied in my squeaky voice. "My name is Kyoga, I am not that good at speaking yet." I blushed but no one could see it
"Aww, you sound so cute, why are you hiding your face though?" She asked me inquisitively.
"I was told I had to wear this while I'm in public." I replied sheepishly.
"Now that's not fair, now we cant see how cute you really are, this is the first time you have spoke to the other students isn't it?" She asked, She was bombarding me with questions but she did seem really nice.
I nodded my head and this time using my tablet I responded. "Because of my difficulties speaking and other reasons I have been in a private room taking lessons from teachers, the headmaster though it would cause a few problems if I was not slowly integrated into the school."
She had seemed a little shocked at the mechanical voice and figured out that it was true that I difficulties speaking, she then leaned down and gave me a hug and said to me. "Oh darling, don't worry soon we will be able to see more of you, how about I your first friend and help show you around the fair?"
I nodded and then we were off she kept talking about the different kinds of things there was to do, and how the talent show worked, how she was a singing something for the show, she had later noticed the guitar case I had in my hands and brought me to a bench and asked if I could play for her. Escort nodded that I could, so I removed it from the case and she requested a song, I knew the song she asked for and recalled it in my head, it was not from my era of music but I knew I could play it easily, once I had begun to play it she began to sing. She had the voice of an angel I was mesmerized by it, before I knew it I had finished the song. Some of the students that were walking by shouted "Go Felli and cloak kid." great I was known as the cloak kid just what I wanted a lame nickname. She then took me behind the stage where I could put my guitar. She brought me to one of the rides it was some find of ride that spun around really fast and went into the air and would flip you upside down.
"Kyoga, this one is my favourite will you come on it with me?" She was begging me to and she even was giving me puppy eyes.
"Sure what could go wrong." I replied happily
Just as we were about to get on the ride my escort had warned me to keep my cloak closed at all times on the ride they did not want it to fly open or fly off of me while the spinning happened. I knew how to keep it on though I had brought a long blue piece of cloth with me and tied it around my cloak so it would stay closed. Me and Felli sat beside each other she held her paw out and motioned for me to grab it, so I did. She gave a curious look at my paw I knew where this was going to go, and I was surprised she did not notice while I was playing the guitar, the ride had begun before she said anything to me. It started to spin faster and faster, then it began to fling us into the air Felli and a few other girls and guys screaming in excitement, out of adrenaline I joined in. We went completely upside-down, this was the biggest thrill I have had in quite a long time I was definitely enjoying myself more than ever. After the ride was over and we were walking to the exit I was stumbling everywhere I was so dizzy. Felli was helping me keep my balance though. After that my escort told Felli certain things and to keep by my side because the headmaster said that she could watch over me for the rest of the night.
She then afterwards had treated me to some cotton candy other various sweets that were available, sugar was definitely something I did not get normally I had a bunch of pent-up energy. We heard from the stage that the talent contest was going to be starting soon, we both went backstage and there were a bunch of students getting ready, she took me over to were two other students were waiting. One of them was the guy I would see playing the drums outside when I would play on the balcony and another girl. Once we got over them Felli seemed a little angry
"Trast, Kay, where is Fonfon he should be here right now." she asked then realising I was here. "Oh so guys this is Kyoga, and Kyoga this is Trast and Kay"
Kay shrugged at her and Trast opened his eyes. "He said he would be back in like two minutes, oh no way cloak kid is here."
"His name is Kyoga, don't be calling him by some stupid nickname." She defended me.
"Well Fonfon is a stupid nickname and he just takes it." Trast said between a grin catching her in a trap.
"For one Fonfon got his nickname because of his real name and two I could give you a bad nickname as well." She said turning her head away from Trast.
A few seconds later a person ran up to Felli everyone waiting was ripping on him saying he was late, it must have been Fonfon.
Fonfon said quickly. "Sorry Felli as part of the discipline committee I have to take care of something so I'll have to dip this time."
"Oh ok then Kyo here is gonna use your guitar and fill in for you then." said Felli, she seemed to think a lot of me already, this must have been her band.
"I don't think so." Fonfon said.
Trast and Felli both spoke up at the same time "He's a really good guitarist don't worry about it."
Fonfon just shrugged it off and ran to what he had to go and take care of. I was them bombarded by Felli with a note sheet and was told to memorize the notes quickly, I picked up Fonfon's guitar and looked at the sheet and started to play the song, I think I got it down, I was hoping I would not mess up the song for them, and then the announcer had started to talk and introduced us onto the stage.
Felli took over the mic and said. "Hey guys we are the academies own Black Comet, but today Fonfon could not be here playing with us we have a substitute for him, let me hear you give it up for Kyoga!" The crowed screamed. "Kyo, why don't you play a few notes to introduce yourself." I then shredded on the guitar for a few seconds, the crowed screamed more. "How guys without further adieu, this is our song Black Butterfly.
Trast then started off the beat playing quickly on his drum set, once I heard the double pump of his pedal happen I had begun to play, A few seconds later Felli and Kay joined in singing and with the bass guitar. Everything was going perfect I was not messing up any of it, it was not to hard to learn the part. The crowed was screaming out Felli's Kay and Trast's names as we were playing. No one once screamed mine because no one really knew who I was. It was nice to be back on the stage hearing the screams of fans what a perfect show this turned out to be. The song was over and we exited the stage all panting a small bit because we had been giving it our all.
