Rule #1: A Kadic student should know how-and when-to be aggressive

The joyful small raven haired girl smiled and ran over to hug her mom. She giggled loudly as she jumped waiting to be picked up, as her father finally wrapped his arms around her. As soon as she felt a drop of happiness she remembered what her mother had told her that morning as she awoke.

A tear filled in her eye.

"Mommy I don't want you to go." Cried the 7-year old hoping they would stay.

"I know honey, but it's only for a little while." Her dad said and rubbed the top of her head making a small opening of a smile appear across face.

Her mom put on her coat and her dad took both of the rolling luggage bags hand in hand.

The small girl waved as her mother opened the front door letting the bright sunshine let itself in. Her tear-streaked face still smiled as the two people she loved so much walked away from her.

Her mother bent down to her level and gave her one last kiss on the forehead. "Bye Bye sweetie, we'll be home soon." She said smiling and closed the door behind her.

It was a moment that would be cherished forever.

Yumi laid on her stiff bed, the lamp on her desk giving her the only light there was. She would remember that day forever. Sometimes it reminded her of good times, and others it haunted her.

She held on to the ice cold necklace around her neck. Its touch made her shiver, but holding it always made her feel hope. It was a memory she had with her parents, but this one was so important, and she knew why.

It was the last memory she had with her parents, and she would always think about it, knowing that she would never have anymore. The time between then and now, had lead to moving place to place with foster parents. Starting from the time her parents had died, she had been shipped off to her aunts and uncles, the closest thing to her parents. Within the two years there, she had finally been rescued from that hell like place, and her uncle had been sent to a place he belonged after the abuse he had gave her.

When she was finally released from what seemed like a prison before, she finally had been sent to live with her grandfather. That way while she could keep him company and help him with the hard labor chores, in return he would give her food and a place to live. He had treated her kindly, and had great advice for everything, and his wise cultured ways had inspired her. But as time itself got farther, he had given out, and she was forced this time to move again.

With no say in the matter, the next time she was not given to anyone in the family, but to people who she had never met before who wanted a daughter. But within a month or two there, they had called her but useless and not the kind of daughter they were looking for.

About two years without any parents whatsoever, she spent the time in a foster shelter with other kids of her kind. It wasn't the best place ever, but it was better than having someone who would make her be apart of their family. After time there, a husband and wife had also wanted a daughter because they did not have one of their own. Instead they were rather fond of Yumi, and decided to adopt her as their own. They were very wealthy, and after about a year and a half of being their daughter she had learned to trust them and they had cared much about her. But they wanted their daughter to have a better education, so indeed they sent her to one of the very best schools they had known of.

Now she was already 15, and she was in a school in France far from home and had to go through her first day. Another first appearance she would have to make again after years of doing it before. She liked her new family, they had money, they treated her nicely, but now that she finally started to like them they had made her leave. Maybe this school would be nice, that she didn't know. But sooner or later she would find out. Yumi got up from her bed and reached into her bag and pulled out her phone.

Her phone read 7:01, she sighed. It meant she would already have to get ready for school, not even arriving at this school even twelve hours ago. But she had missed dinner last night and felt rather hungry now.

She opened up her closet and looked at some of the clothes she had already hung up. She didn't really like any of the new clothes her foster parents had given her for the trip but she pulled out something to wear anyways.

She rapped her white robe around her pajamas and grabbed her clothes she was going to put on along with a map of the school so she would be sure to lead her self in the right direction.

She led herself out into the hallway and shut and locked the door of her new room behind her. She took out her map, and was surprised to notice how big the school was. She turned the map upside down realizing it was not facing the right way and tried again to find her destination. She browsed the paper coming to the first word she saw that seemed to give her a hint of where she was going.

"Aha.showers!" She said allowed, and continued down the hall. When she turned the corner to her right, she saw the door that was suppose to lead to the showers.

She walked up to the door and opened to door and walked in. It was the showers alright. But she was soon accompanied by a few shouts and yells. She gasped and quickly shut the door. She sighed and leaned against the door and wondered why she had been so stupid.

But when a person opened the door she almost fell backwards but they pushed her back up. There stood two boys, both tall, one with a brown short hair, and the other blonde with a purple blotch and his hair sticking up.

They were both cute, but she kind of liked the brown hair and his dark brown eyes, but that didn't matter right now. The worst part was they were both in nothing but towels at their hips. They both eyed me and the brown haired one said,

"I think your looking for the girls showers."

"Uh.yes. Yes, I'm sorry. I'm new here." She said.

"Then I think your looking for the one downs stairs. This ones the boys."

"Oh.sorry, thanks."

"No problem." He said and walked away with his friend.

Her first day at school and she had already made a complete fool of herself. After finally getting downstairs and taking a shower in the right shower room, she took a cold shower to try and wake her up. She walked back to her room and unlocked the door, entered and slipped on her clothes.

She put on a black tank top she had found earlier, jeans, and black flip flops. She pulled her hair back into a bun and grabbed her book bag. She looked at her schedule. But it said nothing about breakfast.

She tried to remember what Mr. Delmas said when she arrived. She figured it was at eight. She picked up her map and saw the cafeteria was straight downstairs. She opened her door and left once again and made her way to the lunch room.

When she finally got outside, she found it.

"I think this is it." She said opening the door.

It was. But it was huge. You could hear screaming and shouting from some kids, some were on the table, and some boys could be seen throwing food at each other. 'So much for this school being full of quiet snobby kids with rich mommy's and daddies.' She thought.

She pulled herself through the large hyper students and went over to the lunch line, grabbed a tray and had the lunch lady give her some food. It was pancakes and bacon. She turned around and looked for a place to sit. Every seat in the whole lunch table was just about taken. She walked over to a table with black and chains, and assumed they were Goth. They all looked up and stared at her. She backed up quickly.

She liked the color black, just not enough to be Goth. She looked around for another place but couldn't find one she would mind sitting at. Then a girl tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to see two girls, one with pink hair and the other with dark brown.

"Hey, you're the new girl right?" She asked and Yumi nodded.

"I'm Aelita and this is my friend Sam."

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"Yeah, here come sit down."

The Sam girl said and lead me to which seemed like the longest table in the room.

"If you want to be popular, stay with us. If you want to be a wanna be and act like you are hang with her." They said pointing to girl.

"That's Sissy Delmas." Sam said, "Her dad is the principle so she thinks she can do what ever she wants, but she can't."

"Oh.well who are they?" Yumi said pointing to the two boys she had seen earlier. Sam burst out laughing, and so did Aelita, then they saw the blank stare on Yumi's face and stopped.

"Wait your serious?" Sam asked. "Well I haven't been here too long as you can see."

"That's Ulrich Stern, and Odd Della Robbia. The most popular guys. The best thing to ever hit this school." Sam explained.

"Especially Odd." Sam sighed. "Don't get too caught up in them though. Every other girl in this school is. Ulrich is practically a legend." Aelita told her.

'Ulrich Stern.' Yumi thought. She liked that name. But her grades were far more important than some boy. Especially one she had just met. Plus he seemed a little stuck up. Aelita noticed Yumi staring at Ulrich clear across the table.

"Don't get too caught in those brown eyes. He's got a girlfriend. Besides, Ulrich is the playboy of the century, no new kid can top him."

Yumi knew she was right. So she finished her food, and walked off with the girls to get ready for gym class.

"Okay class!" The teacher yelled. "Material Arts is a very important task to learn! Now that we all know the basic steps, I want you to all to use those when you fight. But Ulrich, we all know what you're capable of so please try and make it easy for others" Ulrich smiled.

"K coach." Ulrich was first, and by the next 10 people he was still in the game.

Yumi's POV

I was the first girl in line, and I was finally next to compete and Ulrich was still the one to beat.

"Ok, Ulrich your time is over, time for it to be girl versus girl so they have some chance." Jim ordered.

"No, its ok." I said. "Huh?" Jim said confused.

"I'll fight him." I said walking up to him and bowing. "Very well then." Jim said. "Stand in position…and strike…" Ulrich did his move first, he did a kick so fast that no one could have seen it coming.

But to Ulrich's surprise, I did. I moved aside, so he missed me, grabbed one of his arms from him and flipped him over. In shock he didn't do anything, and Jim counted to three.

It was simple.

And they called him a legend.

Normal POV

Everyone was in just as much shock to know Ulrich had been beaten. By a girl! "Wow, well I guess that makes Yumi the winner?" Jim said still not sure.

Ulrich got up and shook it off. "Nice try." Yumi said offering him a hand but he walked off and didn't take it. Yumi was disgusted by his rudeness but was happy when Sam and Aelita happily came over and congratulated her. Gym class had been a snap, she just needed to get the rest of her classes.

Ulrich on the other hand was still surprised a girl had beaten him. No one had done that before. Esspecially a girl! His girlfriend Emily came over to make sure he was okay and her usually ways of treating him like a king and following him around 24/7. But now he wasn't in the mood to talk to her, he needed his space.

'Who did the new girl think she was?'

Needless to say Yumi would be a name on his mind for a while.
