Chapter 1- waking Metal

Alright a third story! Hope you guys are looking forward to it, I spent more time on these chapters; I hope you enjoy it. In this story Ren's going to school, Zoey, well Zoey will be doing homework from her school back in New york. Some stuff happens, people fall in love; the Stingers get involve, etc etc. Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

"Rennie, come on you gotta get up now Rennie." Ba nee said nudging Ren who was still asleep. Ren had been forced to live at Starlight house, this was Zoey's way of making her pay for tricking everyone like that. Ren was also being forced to go to school, something Ren wasn't looking forward to. Today was her first day, and already she wasn't getting off on a good start.

"Rennie, come on Jerrica's going to be mad if you don't wake up." Ba nee said, Ren grunted and rolled over in bed. Ba nee sighed, and went to get Shirley, who was also staying at Starlight house; to stay close to Ren. The two returned.

"Oh Ba nee, I can't wake Ren up. She gets cranky when she's woken up. Let's go get Zoey; she'll know what to do." Shirley said taking Ba nee's hand and leading her downstairs. Ren snorted in her sleep, thinking she had won. Then there was a loud crash, the door was flung open, Ren groaned. If Miss Jerrica thought simply slamming a few doors was going to get her out of bed she had another thing coming. Then there was a loud shout that sounded all too familiar.

"Rennie Mary-sue Hagane! WAKE UP!" Zoey shouted, ripping the covers off of Ren, and pulling her hair. Ren instantly woke up.

"AH! Antana Baka onee-chan!" she shouted, glaring at Zoey who had let go.

"Wake up Ren you've got a big day today and I'm not having you be late." Zoey growled, Ren Sat up in bed narrowing her eyes at her sister, she then pointed at Zoey and grunted.

"Actually Ren; the Schools in Edo are on summer vacation by now." Shirley said, Ren made a face of slight shock.

"That's right Ren so let's get that butt of yours into gear and get dressed." Zoey said, Ren let out a low growl, but got up anyhow.

"Hurry up Ren; breakfast has already started, we'll meet you downstairs." Zoey said then she and the others decided to leave at that point. Ren growled, and began grumbling to herself.

a few minutes later Ren emerged from the upstairs area to the kitchen, she was dressed in a black school uniform, with a torn skirt. Her hair was styled differently long and down with two small ponytails, and her eyeliner wasn't as thick.

"Well it's about time you woke up Ren; breakfast is almost over." Jerrica said, Ren grunted taking an apple from the counter. Jerrica turned.

"Ren I know you're not used to waking up this early; but try to pull through it ok?" Jerrica said, Ren paused, turning to Jerrica with a strange look that Jerrica didn't quite know how to read. She then shook her head and left. Ba nee and Shirley were waiting for her.

"Morning Rennie!" Shirley said sweetly, Ba nee also smiled sweetly. Ren grunted, jerking her head at Shirley.

"Oh My momma and papa had me transferred here; I ask them to so I could get some education over summer break." Shirley explained.

"Shirley you're parents let you do that?" Ba nee asked, Shirley nodded.

"Yeah my parents pretty much let me do whatever I want, not that I usually ask for much." She said, Ren groaned.

"Oh we should probably hurry up and go." Ba nee said, the three were about to take off running for the school, when a hand grabbed Ren. Ren turned glaring daggers at the person that dared bother her now. Her eyes softened a bit when she realized it was just Becky.

"Hand it over Ren." She said, Ren made an innocently confused look.

"You know darn well what I'm talking about Ren; now hand it over." Becky demanded, Ren groaned, digging into her pocket and pulling out her toy gun. She reluctantly handed it to Becky.

"Thank you Ren; I know you want to take it with you, but you can't you'll get into trouble. Trouble I doubt you want." Becky said sweetly, Ren huffed and walked off.

"How'd you know Ren would have that on her?" Jerrica asked, Becky looked back.

"I know it doesn't look like it; but I know Ren pretty well. She always has this thing on her." She said pocketing the toy gun. Jerrica smirked.

"Ren really is a violent person isn't she?" she asked, Becky nodded.

"Only when she's nervous or angry, so yeah she is." She said.

"How do you guys know to deal with it?" Jerrica asked.

"Stay out of the way when she has a heavy object." Becky said matter-o-factly. "Though usually she just shoots that BB gun of hers."

"Ren's a strange one; that's for sure, but that's what we all love her for." Zoey said walking up behind the two.

"Oh Zoey; What are you doing here?" Jerrica said.

"Oh I had my friends from New York send me all the work I'll be missing until I finally get back. There's no way I can ask uncle Toby to send to school me here after I asked for bus fair." Zoey explained. "I sure hope those boys remember how to send an email."

"Uhm Zoey before you start on that; can I ask you a few questions about you and Ren?" Jerrica asked, Zoey shrugged.

"I'm afraid that all depends on what you ask." She said.

"Just a few things; it won't take long, Oh Becky, where are the others?" Jerrica questioned, Becky shrugged.

"Samantha's back at the apartment; Othello and Creepie are out, and Blud…actually I'm not sure where he went." She said, with a laugh.

"Oh Rennie look we have all the same classes together." Shirley said looking at hers and Ren's class schedules. She looked back at Ren who was looking a bit uneasy, Ba nee and the others had already gone to their classes, and she and Ren were left to fend for themselves.

"Don't worry Ren, I doubt the school is like Edo at all. I bet we'll make tons of friends." Shirley said Ren looked down at her feet.

"Come on, let's get to our first class." Shirley said grabbing Ren by the hand and running off toward their first period.

"Class we have two new students joining our class today." Miss *Honey said, she was the English teacher, and Ren and Shirley's first period class. Ren and Shirley stood at the front of the class. Shirley smile her usual way, and Ren somewhat hiding behind her. "Why don't you girls introduce yourself to the class."

"I'm Shirley Jetters; I'm from a little city called Edo." Shirley said the class all gave the usual automatic 'Hello' to her, Shirley then looked back at Ren trying to coax her into speaking, Ren shook her head no. "You're on your own then Rennie." Shirley then whispered sympathetically and sat down in one of the open seats, leaving a nervous and somewhat shaking Ren to the mercy of her peers.

'Shirley…' Ren thought to herself as she stared in fear at the class in front of her.

"E-eto….eto…" she began, then looked back at the blackboard, she turned to it, grabbing a piece of chalk and writing in big letters; 'Rennie, Mary-sue.' She turned back to the class, and pointed to herself. This time the class was silent, not saying a word.

"This girl is weird." Said a female student close to the window.

"Can't you talk?" asked another student, Ren bit her finger nail. Then the teacher, Miss Honey, walked beside her.

"Thank you Ren, Shirley. Now class I want you to all be nice to Ren and Shirley; they aren't used to a big city school like ours." She said, Ren looked down at her feet and walked over to her desk beside Shirley, who leaned over.

"That was good, Ren." She whispered, Ren looked over at her.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they just didn't know how to pronounce it, that's why they were quiet." She then said sweetly. Ren put her head on her desk until class ended. So far, she really wasn't liking this place.

Wahoo! First day of School for Rennie, and already she isn't doing too well with her peers. Poor Ren, she really sucks around people her own age. But yaknow I think everyone can relate to this situation; new school, new people, no friends (well Ren has Shirley, and the Starlight girls but I digress) review please. I needz my fix! Haha (*) has anyone seen the movie matilda? Miss Honey!
