Chapter One: A New Student
"Class, we have a new student, if you haven't noticed," announced Dr. Stein with a bored expression. "She is a meister by the name of Renée Gabrilska. She hasn't been paired with a weapon yet." He paused to tighten the screw that was sticking out of his head. "Renée, why don't you tell the class a bit about yourself?"
I looked around at all of the many faces turned towards me. I was sitting in a seat far from the other students, not because I'm shy, but because I didn't know anyone yet and I didn't want to take anyone's seat. I figured Stein would probably have a different seat for me eventually. Being far away from everyone drew even more attention to me, and all of those eyes made me a little bit uncomfortable, but I figured that this would be as good a time as any to leave a good impression, so I stood up to introduce myself.
"Hey," I greeted the class. "I'm Renée, as you all probably know by now. I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, playing baseball, cooking, and taking walks. I always strive to do exceptionally well in school. I am honored that I have the privilege of being enrolled in the DWMA." I didn't really know what else to say, so I just sat down, picked up my pencil, and looked at Dr. Stein for further instructions.
"Hmm, I think you'll get along very well with Maka Albarn and Death the Kid," said Dr. Stein. "In fact, Maka, will you take Renée down to the book room to get all of her textbooks? I'll give you a pass. When you come in, Renée will sit next to you and Kid."
"Of course, Dr. Stein," replied a petite blond girl sitting in the middle of the room. She got up, straightened her short plaid skirt, and smiled at me. "C'mon, Renée!"
I put my pencil in my army-green messenger bag and slung it over my shoulder. I got up and followed Maka out of the classroom. As we were exiting the room, I heard Dr. Stein's fading voice say, "Today, you'll all dissect a mountain goat together." My eyes widened. "Huh? Is he crazy?"
"He likes dissecting things," explained Maka. "He's very sadistic. He's even dissected himself a few times!"
"Um, okay, that's weird," I said, with a disturbed look on my face.
Maka giggled. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Hey, didn't I hear you say you liked reading and cooking?"
I nodded. "Yes to both!"
Maka clapped her hands together excitedly. "Oh, awesome! We should go to the library sometime and talk about books! Maybe you could even come over and I could cook, or you could if you wanted to!"
I smiled. "That'd be cool. I just moved here, so I still need to find a place to stay, suggestions for good places to eat at, and of course, I want to know where the nearest library is!"
"You don't have a place to stay? Poor you! Hmm… when we get back to class, I'll ask our friends if any of them have an extra room. I'd love to have you stay with me, don't get me wrong, but there isn't enough room at my place. Soul, my weapon, has his own room, I have my own room, and then... well, then there's Blair..." Maka's normally cheery face was darkened by a sudden scowl. "Blair is this cat that can turn into a lady and she... she, er, likes Soul. She insists on living with us and Soul won't kick her out. I'd let you have the couch, but she usually sleeps on it."
I waved my hand. "No problem. Thanks for everything you're doing for me, by the way. It's really nice of you to go to all this trouble for someone you've only known for about five minutes!"
"Of course!" Maka exclaimed. "You seem super nice. I get the sense that you're not going to fool around in class. If I am correct, you enjoy learning like I do! So you're definitely good in my book. Not to mention, you're pretty stylish." Maka smiled shyly.
I was surprised at all of the random compliments. "Well, um, thanks, Maka."
"No problem!" Maka replied. "Oh, look! Here we are!" She opened the door to the bookroom and I followed her in.
