Hey, this is my first time making a story for fan fiction, so please be extra critical when you read it. This chapter mostly explains things, so it's kind of long and uneventful. It gets better, I promise! Any questions or anything, even if it is small, please R&R. Suggestions are welcome as are predictions. Also- I do not own 07 ghost or any of the characters; if I did, there would be more yaoi than just 'friend' situations. Anyways….Read and behold my marvelous creation! Bwahahaha! XD

...

Teito walked towards his new school with mixed feelings. He had been 'homeschooled' his entire life and felt nervous on his first day. His mother was the one that first brought it up. She had said that she wanted him to meet new people and make more friends. He didn't think he was antisocial. After that he made an effort to hang out with more people. Granted, most of them were older than him and they weren't necessarily friends (they felt more like family). But, it was a start he told himself. Apparently his mom didn't think so. Before he knew it, his mom and dad confronted him with the idea of school. His dad had already made the arrangements for him to start school at the beginning of the next school year. He didn't argue much, he liked the thought of making new friends as much as his mom did, but he felt way out of his comfort zone. Unfortunately, he really didn't have a choice. So, here he was, attending the exclusive, prestigious private high school, 07 Academy.

As he got closer to the gates marking the entrance onto the campus, he noticed a somewhat large crowd of girls gathered to the corner. He wondered what they were doing, but thought this may be normal and passed by without asking. He had just gotten past them when they all screamed and shrieked at once. Girls from all directions suddenly swarmed past him, pushing him out of the way. Startled, he tripped and started to fall. Luckily, someone caught him just in time.

"Hey there, we don't want you to get trampled now." His rescuer helped him get his balance and detour him through the stampede of girls. Finally safe, Teito turned to express his thanks to his savior. "You must be new right?" Before he could say anything, an ash-blonde guy with amber eyes and a scar on his right cheek began talking to him. "Most of the guys know not to be around here at this time." He laughed easily and began to walk toward the campus.

"Uh, yeah. And thanks." Teito walked with him, as the guy waved off his thanks. "Um, why are the girls like that?" he asked him.

"Ah, well, you know the 7 highest ranking businesses right?" Teito gulped and nodded, "Well they give a lot of money to 07 Academy and send their next executives and CEO's here. They are referred to as 'gods' by the girls. We guys like to think of them as ghosts, though. Don't really know where that name came from, but it stuck, apparently."

"I see," Teito began. "So one of them arrived?"

"Actually, out of the seven, only 4 are students; and they all arrive together for some reason." They arrived at one of the buildings. "Anyways, I gotta run, I need to find someone. I'm Mikage Celestine." He held his hand out.

"T-Teito. Teito Klein." He shook his hand, silently cursing the stutter.

"Nice to meet you." Mikage replied cheerfully. "Well, see you later." And with that, he went off in the opposite direction. Teito sighed and pulled his schedule out of his pocket and went off to find his first class.

^*v*^

Teito had managed to survive till lunch, though, he wasn't sure how. He made his way to the cafeteria, wondering what kind of food they had. For some reason, he felt like he was starving. He picked up his pace, thinking he would try to find his next classes before the next bell. He turned the corner and ran into someone. As he stumbled backwards, he wondered if this was becoming a habit for him.

"I'm sorry." he immediately apologized as he gained his balance again.

"Look where you're going next time!" At first glance, Teito thought he had run into a girl. The guy had long blonde hair and purple eyes that were accentuated by his long eyelashes. "Are you done staring or what?" Teito quickly averted his eyes and fought to keep his blush down as he began to push past the boy. "So clumsy and dense, huh?"

Teito stopped and felt his face burn at the insult. He twirled around and replied. "At least I don't have a fox-face!" he shot back.

Said fox-face narrowed his eyes in anger. "I didn't know that dolts could speak!"

"Your face is so messed up, it's comical!"

"One would think you would be inapt at conversation!"

"It's absurd to have such a face!"

"You-" The guy suddenly stopped when someone tackled him from behind.

"Hakuren! I have been looking for you since this morning! Where have you been?" Teito realized that it was Mikage from this morning at the same time Mikage realized who he was. "Hey, Hakuren, this is Teito. I met him this morning. Teito, this is Hakuren 'The Wise'! Also my friend." he laughed a little.

"Yeah, we already met." Hakuren said with a glare at Teito while removing his friend off of him.

"Good! Now we can eat together." He said pleasantly, oblivious to the sour attitude between the two.

"WHAT?!" Teito and Hakuren said in unison. They didn't have a chance to complain, though, because Mikage had grabbed both of their wrists and pulled them to the cafeteria. They were too busy trying not to run into people as they were being dragged to fight with each other. When they finally reached the cafeteria, Teito was awed by the beauty of it. It seemed more like a 5 star restaurant than a cafe. He followed Mikage to where the specials were listed.

"I think I want a burger with steak fries and a chocolate shake!" Mikage declared.

"Hmm." Hakuren studied the list carefully before deciding. "A roasted chicken sandwich with onion rings and a coke." he decided finally. They looked to Teito expectantly.

"Uh." he didn't know what he wanted.

"Stop looking like a dolt and choose already!" Hakuren snapped.

"Don't be cruel to Teito," Mikage defended him, "this is his first day at 07 Academy! Teito," he turned to him. "You choose what you want and then you go order it. They bill it to your account and, if you don't have enough money for a meal, you can start a tab, choose something less expensive, or bring in a homemade lunch."

"Oh… Kay..." he said hesitantly. "I'll take a salad with breadsticks and some tea." He looked over to see both of them staring at him. "What?" he asked, feeling very self-conscious.

"You on a diet?" Hakuren asked. "Normally girls would order that." Teito blushed angrily at the comment. Mikage rolled his eyes and pulled them to the ordering station before his friends could start bickering.

Once they had gotten all their food, they found a table where they could eat without being relatively bothered by the incoming students. Mikage and Hakuren automatically began talking about different people, and Teito soon stopped trying to follow the conversation. Instead he focused on memorizing the routes to all his different classes. He was relieved he was able to find his way to his classes without being late to any of them; although, he cut it close on one. He felt like the time was against him, and didn't know how everyone managed. It was stressful, and he was only halfway through the first day.

"Teito!" Mikage called him, waving a hand in front of his face. "Are you even listening?"

"Hah? What? Sorry, I was thinking about…stuff." He finished lamely.

"Obviously." Hakuren scoffed at him. He turned back to Mikage. "He probably has no idea who you're talking about. I even barely know the girl."

"But she is so cute!" Mikage insisted. "How can anyone not know someone that cute? She-"

"You know I despise women." Hakuren cut in rudely.

Teito stared at him. "Really?" he asked, genuinely surprised.

"Yes." He replied curtly, his attention directed at his sandwich.

"He's an Oak." Mikage explained. "Their parents set up eligible female matches for them since childhood and force them to look at their choices. It's really gross. And traumatic." He added nodding toward Hakuren.

"Oh." Teito nodded in understanding. "So," he began when no one said anything else. "if you're and Oak, then you're a part of Barsburg's royal bloodline right?"

"Yeah." Hakuren looked relieved at the change in conversation. "Although I'm like 32nd to take the throne," He laughed. "My idiot cousin is in line as a candidate for the princess. Dear lord, I hope she doesn't choose him!"

"Don't say that!" Mikage said defensively. "Shuri is nice, he's just awkward and easily jealous."

"Shuri?" Teito laughed, too. "I know him! He's in my second class. He practically chewed my ear off when I excelled the pre-exam."

"I said he was jealous." Mikage frowned, "Wait! You excelled the pre-exam?" Teito nodded slowly. "Wow!" he whistled appreciatively. "Hakuren is the smartest person I know, and he can only get a barely-passing at best on his pre-exams."

"Shut-UP!" Hakuren reached over and smacked Mikage over the head. "I'm at the top of my class. Everyone is supposed to fail them." He turned to Teito. "So, what are you? Some kind of genius or something?" He looked sour and very pissed.

Teito gulped. "Actually, I was homeschooled my entire life. My curriculum was a bit faster paced. I learned this awhile back." He wished he had failed the exam, now.

"Really?" Mikage looked impressed and Hakuren relaxed. "Your parents taught you that much? Most of the time homeschoolers have the disadvantage and have to play catch up." Mikage smiled easily at him.

"Well, my parents didn't teach me, but-" Luckily he didn't have to explain further because there was an ear piercing scream from all the girls in the cafeteria. Teito, Hakuren, and Mikage all threw their hands up to cover their ears. "What the hell?" Teito looked behind him to find four gorgeous males walking up to the ordering station while many females blushed, fainted and shrieked around them. The two light blonde guys were basking in the attention while the two behind them seemed like they would rather be somewhere else. When the spiky blonde walked up to one pretty girl, the guy with reddish-brown hair and oval glasses hit his head with a book and pulled him away. The guy with light purple hair looked most uncomfortable as he wouldn't look up from the floor until he got to the ordering station.

"Ah, I see the ghost's have finally showed up." Hakuren said once the screams had died down. "I was wondering when they would show up. After the first week, the girls will calm down enough to not scream at the sight of them." He told Teito. "The most popular of them is Frau."

"He is the one with the spiky blonde hair and blue-indigo eyes." Mikage informed him with a twinkle in his eye. "He has a 'book' collection, and allows others to read them, for a small fee. He-"

"It's more of a drug cartel; only instead of drugs, its porn magazines!" Hakuren looked disgusted. "That's the only reason he's popular with the guys in school. Only an idiot would join his little 'club'."

"Hey!" Mikage protested. "I joined the club!"

"Further proving my point." Hakuren teased with a smile. "The least popular one is Lance. He is always talking about how beautiful he is and fixes his blonde curl almost constantly; so much that girls get sick of him after going out with him for a while. His longest relationship lasted a day and 2 hours." Teito was surprised to see Mikage agreeing with him. He thought Mikage had something nice to say about everyone. "And then there is Castor. 'Beauty with glasses' and 'The most handsome nerd ever' are the popular phases heard about him." Hakuren snorted.

"Hakuren and Castor are currently competing to be the top student in the school." Mikage smiled at his friend. "Though, they aren't rivals. They greatly respect each other." He laughed at Hakuren's blush. "The last one is Labrador." He gestured to the purple haired one. "He gets the shyest and cutest girls to follow him, but he never goes out with anyone. As much as everyone would like to hate him, he is one of those types of people that everyone naturally loves." Mikage sighed and leaned back. "He is kind and polite to everyone and has never done anything to make someone angry at him."

Teito nodded thoughtfully. This was a lot to take in at once, and he was feeling quite overwhelmed. Suddenly, a thought came to him. "You said that there were seven ghosts, right? But only four of them are students. How is that possible?" He asked.

"Because one of them is a teacher, another is a part of staff, and the last one is the headmaster!" At Teito's confused look, Mikage elaborated. "Each of the seven companies that donate to the school chooses only one heir to succeed them in the company. However, they can't take over the company until the current head of the company dies or is incapable to work. So they get jobs."

"I heard that the headmaster was the second in line for the Raggs throne." Hakuren commented.

"Really?!" Mikage's eyes widened in astonishment. Teito tried to look surprised as well.

"Yeah, it seems that the former king gave his throne up to his eldest son, who had just turned 18, when he was suddenly struck down with an illness that left him unable to properly move his body. He was fully recovered two years later, though; and decided to build a company that his second son could inherit." Hakuren thought for a moment. "Although, if I remember correctly, Headmaster Kreuz is the original headmaster; he was the one who made 07 Academy popular."

"So the other two are a teacher and a part of staff?" Teito asked, wanting to move the conversation along.

"Yeah, Karu is the teacher and Landkarte is the staff member, though no one really knows what his job is." Mikage giggled. "You wanna know something though?" Hakuren rolled his eyes and looked away. Curious, Teito nodded. "Karu and Landkarte are a couple. They don't make a big deal out of it, but they admitted to it last year."

Teito took a breath. Then he laughed with Mikage. He couldn't help it; he felt like a couple of old gossiping ladies. Then the bell rang. Groaning, he pulled out his schedule and wondered where his next class was. Hakuren looked over his shoulder at his schedule.

"Your next class is in near my next one, so we can walk together." He said. "After that we can meet up with Mikage and he can show you to your next class. It's right next to yours."

"Really? Cool!" Mikage looked at his schedule, too. "Oh, but your next class is over at the other side of campus. You'll have to find that one by yourself." He added sadly.

"Hurry up!" Hakuren called, already walking to his next class. "Or I will leave you behind!"

Teito smiled and ran to catch up, waving at Mikage. He figured that he had made two new friends on his first day, and it was only halfway through!

...

So how did you like it? A pathetic ending, but I had to break it off at some point! Don't be too cruel….actually do. I need to learn. =P

Next chapter will have Teito interacting with his mom. This means I have to find her!

(in the distance)

Millea Klein! Where are you? I need you for the next chapter! Millea Klein! Teito, do you know where your mom is?

Nope. (runs away)

Please R&R! THANKS!=D
