Okay, so I changed up the age differences.
Cuz the 5 year thing just wasn't doing it for me!

And yes, they still have their Guardian Characters, but they can't become them or anything. They can show Character's personalities though.

SO BASICALLY. Everyone is closer in age, they have the Characters but its normal, they don't use them to fight or anything, and they can NOT transform to look like them.

They're just kinda there.

OK? OKAY.
They won't come into the story much anyway.

It's my first SC! fic so who knows what'll happen..

All's Fair In Love And Bets

Transfer Student?!

Right now, Amu completely despised her parents.

How could they send her to a new school half way through junior year? HOW?!

She sighed as she looked out the taxi window. They'd said something about it being "good for her" and it would "broaden her horizon". Who said she wanted her horizon broadened? Who even said that expression anymore?

"Ah, Amu, I'm sure it will be fine." Su said. Amu glared at her green Character that was floating in front of her.
"You aren't the one who has to go through this." The girl stated, staring back at the window.
"Are you scared no one will like you?" Ran asked, jumping from her girl's bag and floating next to Su.
"Like I care what other people think." Sometimes, even though she'd had them for 6 years now, her Characters really got on her nerves. They were supposed to be a part of her in a sense, right? So why couldn't they just be depressed with her?

"Stop being so emo. You may dress like it, but you don't normally act like it." Miki stated, also now out of the bag. "It doesn't make you look cute."

"Just leave me alone for a bit." Amu shoved headphones into her ears as she blared her iPod.

Guardian Characters were a funny thing.
Everyone knew about them, but not everyone got them. And only those with them could see others.
Amu had gotten hers when she was 11 and made a wish to be her "would-be self", or something like that. She barely remembered now.
No one else in her family had them, though quite a few kids in her old school did.

They couldn't be explained by any scientist. They just were.
Sometimes if the person tried hard enough, they could get the personality of their character. Although unless you acted extremely different than you normally would, or told someone, no one would be able to tell.

But enough about that. Amu didn't want to think about her dumb characters not supporting her at the moment.

Okay, maybe they were. But not how Amu wanted them to. She opened her phone to check the time.

Gah, still an hour till we arrive at the school. Nap time I suppose... And the pink haired girl fell into a slumber.

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

"Tadase, you hear about the transfer student?" Kukai asked, kicking a soccer ball towards the other boy.
"Yeah, though I don't see what the big deal is." The boy, Tadase, smiled over to a group of girls who were watching them pass. One screamed and fainted.

"The big deal is that I heard she was super cool at her old school." Kukai looked over to the group of girls as well, waving. Two more dropped.

"There are a lot of things you hear, Kukai. Anyway, have you seen Nagihiko?"
"No, haven't seen that cross dresser all day come to think of it."

Tadase gave the older boy a stern look. It wasn't Nagihiko's fault his family made him dance as a girl.

"Back to the new girl though. She's rooming with Utau!" Kukai's eyes turned into hearts as he walked towards a bench.
"Why? Utau's barely ever at school anyway. She's always out recording and touring. Her dorm is one of the best in the school though.." Tadase blushed a little. He always had had a crush on the idol. But... In the end, she just wasn't his type.

"I don't know, but the girl's lucky."
"Whats her name anyway?"
"Amu Hinamori."

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

Amu stepped out of the taxi and sneezed.
"Ohhh, that means someone's talking about you Amu!" Ran cheered.
"That is just a silly superstition. Now. Where is the office..." Amu paid the driver and pulled her suitcases out of the trunk. Then, she turned to feast her eyes upon Seiyo High School.

And holy shit the place was big!

Amu walked up the stairs to the front doors in awe. She'd never seen a school this big.. It was made of white brick, and was at least-

"Hey watc-"

She had smacked into something, and was now falling forward. Oh how embarrassing! Now my face is going to be all scratched up from hitting these stairs! I'll be known as the girl who can't walk right. Oh god. My rep is already ruined here. Oh jebus. Please save me.

And yes, she was falling and thinking all this. It really is astonishing how fast you think when you're falling.

Her eyes were squeezed shut, and yet when she hit what she assumed would be the stairs, it didn't hurt.
In fact it was rather soft and warm and smelled n-
Someone chuckled in front of her face, "You going to lay there all day?"
"Huh?" Amu opened her eyes and found her head facing towards someone's ears, dark hair falling across it. "Wha-"
Then she noticed how she was positioned. Her head had fallen right next to the boy's, and yes she knew it was a boy because one of her hands was across the person's chest and it was flat. But that wasn't bad. Oh no.

She had fallen and ended up straddling the guy. Her legs were spread open awkwardly across the steps. On top of him.

Her face turned bright red. "Oh my god."
"And you're still there.." The boy stated.
"SORRY!" She nearly screamed, pushing herself uphalfway up with her arms, positioning them on opposite sides of his head. Man, this just kept getting more awkward.. "I really am. I wasn't paying attention and.. Oh god, I didn't hurt you did I?" She was now directly over him, still propped up by her arms and staring directly at... One of the most gorgeous men she'd ever seen in her life.

The red on her face deepened.
"Tch, you are a little heavy." The boy smirked again. Her hair was tickling the sides of his cheeks. And his hand was..
"Watch where you're touching, pervert!" Amu screamed, jumping up off the boy and brushing herself off.
It had been a little too low on her lower back for her liking.

"You watch where you're walking." The dark haired boy stood up, brushing past her as he walked down the steps.

"AMU'S BLUSHING!" Ran screamed, dancing.
"He was cute." Miki coolly said.
"Did he have purple eyes?" Su asked.
"No, I'd say blue." Miki answered.
"Of course you would." Ran rolled her eyes.

"Shut up all of you and get back in my bag until we get into my room please," Amu sighed and stuffed them back into the shoulder bag she had.
Okay fine. The boy was cute.

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

After riding the elevator to the 7th (Of course, the very top. She would get the very top.) floor, and lugging her three suitcases and shoulder bag to the very end of the hall, she'd finally found her dorm room. 770.

She pulled out the key the lady at the office had given her.
Somehow she'd managed to get roomed with THE Utau Hoshina.
She didn't care much for the girl's music.. But as Ran had said in the elevator..
"WE'RE ROOMING WITH A CELEBRITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She pushed the door open and her jaw dropped.

The room was nice. Beyond nice. Amazing.

There were two queen sized beds (she guessed) on opposite sides of the room. Her side, the one directly in front of the door, was empty. But the other side was decked out with a black comforter covering the bed, the walls covered in posters, and was looked like the door to a huge closet.

Then Amu noticed she had no such door. Just a dresser on the end of her bed.
She sighed. Spoiled rich kids.

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

"IKUTOOO!"
The said boy side stepped as a blond girl tried to tackle him.
She pouted as she fell to the ground. "You're so mean to me."
"You've got a new roommate at school?" The boy asked.
"Yeah. I didn't want her. But the school said since I'm not there much I should share my room."

Ikuto nodded. The two were sitting on a bench in the school's "grassy area". It was next to the school, and was basically what it sounded like. A very large, glorified lawn.

"Soo Ikuto.." The girl wiggled her eyebrows. "It's been a long time.."
"No."
"I haven't asked anything!"
"No."
"Once?"
"Let me think about it.."
"REALLY?"
"No."

She girl's eyes watered. "So mean.."

"Hey Ikuto! Utau!"
A blond boy was walking towards the pair. He took a seat across from them.

"So, you're rooming with the new girl? Amu?"

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

"AAAAHH-chu!"
Amu grimaced as she wiped her hand on the new sheets she'd just laid on her bed.
"Man, someone must really like talking about you.." Ran giggled.

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

"Have you seen her yet?" The blond boy asked.
Utau shook her head, "I haven't been in my room all day."
"Can we go now? I'm tired," Eru cried, flying out of Utau's purse.
"Me too-nya!" Yoru crawled across the table towards Ikuto.

"I have to go meet my new roomie anyway. Yay." Utau stood, grimacing as she brushed off her dress. "Come visit me tomorrow, Ikuto!" She giggled and sauntered off.

Tadase watched her. "That kinda grosses me out. I can't lie."
"Me too." Ikuto pinched the bridge of his nose. "I saw the new girl today."
"WHATT?" The younger boy screamed, "How? When? What does she look like?"

Ikuto chuckled. "She fell on me. Earlier today. Find out for yourself."

Tadase rolled his eyes. Ikuto may be like a brother to him, but sometimes he hated the older boy. "Was she pretty at least?"
"Was she pretty? Are you a little kid, Tadase?"
"Whatever."
"Wanna make a bet?"

The blond stood up, preparing to leave. "A bet? On what?"

Ikuto stood as well, smirking. "I'll tell you when you see who she is."

And with that, the boy was gone.

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

When Utau walked in, Amu was fast asleep already. Being a depressed emo wore a girl out!

The blond girl shook her head. It was only like, 9. Cmon. But she was quiet for her new roommate nonetheless.
In Amu's dreams she was falling.
And in her dreams, a boy with cat ears caught her.

Ok, ok. So the bet hasn't happened yet.
But it will by chapter 4. Probably no earlier..
But maybe.

REVIEW!
