14-year old Meyrin Hawke paced around her room nervously. It was the night before her first day of High School, and she was nervous. Horrible images of how her life could be in school flashed through her mind. "Oh, what if I don't make any friends? I mean, Luna's the only one I know there… and I can't exactly stick to her the whole time. I'm going to get bullied, and made fun of, and… and… oh! This is going to be HORRIBLE!"

"Meyrin!" Her mother's voice called from the first floor of their two-story home. "Get to bed now! It's nearly midnight!"

Meyrin heard her older sister by one year laugh from the room beside hers. "Mom, it's only eleven. You're exaggerating!"

"Luna, get to bed too! You should set an example for your sister!" Her mom replied. "I'm counting to five, and if you're both not in bed, I'll go up there and stuff you in your beds myself! ONE!"

Meyrin hurried herself in changing into her pajamas. She knew her mom wasn't kidding when she said that. She nearly tripped reaching for her top which was thrown across her room that morning.

"TWO!"

She threw on her top in frenzy, and quickly took the elastics from her hair, letting her hair down. She threw her elastics into her drawer filled with other elastics. She grabbed her pants that were hid underneath the mess of her blankets.

"THREE!"

She rushed pulling up her pajama pants up as fast as humanly possible.

"FOUR!"

She reached over and flicked her lights off and hopped quickly onto her bed. The comforting sensation of relaxing into her comfortable bed filled her.

"FIVE!" Her mother screeched. "LUNA!" Meyrin heard her sister yelp in fear and the footsteps of her mother rushing up the stairs.

"I'm in bed mom! I'm in bed!" Luna cried out. Their mother huffed before going down the stairs to go finish watching her nightly television. Meyrin giggled contently before closing her eyes and falling into an untroubled sleep, unaware of the drama that was about to take place in her life.

"Girls!" Mrs. Hawke rapped on both girls' door the next morning. "Hurry up!" When she didn't hear anything for a few seconds, she opened Meyrin's door shook her daughter awake. "Up! Up you go!" Meyrin clung onto her sleep hopelessly, refusing to open her eyes to the dreaded day. "MEYRIN!"

"I don't want to go to school," Meyrin muttered incoherently. "Tell the teachers I have influenza or something." Unfortunately, her mother had totally ignored her because she had moved on to waking up Lunamaria.

"Mom! Ow! You didn't have to shake me that hard! It's not fair! You don't shake Meyrin that hard!" Luna complained tiredly.

"David!" Mrs. Hawke called. "It would be nice to have some help here!"

"It would, wouldn't it?" Their father said lazily from his bedroom across the hall from Meyrin. "I told you we should've hired a maid or something!" Luna giggled as her mother's face heated up in anger.

"I meant YOU, David!"

"Oh." A few seconds later, a tired looking man appeared at the doorway of Meyrin's room. "Come one sweetheart, it's time for school."

Meyrin yawned and stretched. "What if I don't want to go?" she mumbled tiredly.

Her dad gave her a sympathetic look. "I would help you if I could honey, but unfortunately, you have to go to school." Meyrin sat up slowly, combing a hand through her madly messy hair. She slouched, exhausted.

"That's what you get for sleeping so late," Mr. Hawke admonished her gently. "Go to sleep earlier and you won't be so tired."

"I was too nervous to sleep so early," she said. Her dad gave her a small pat on the head and a genuine smile.

"Don't worry, you'll do fine!" He gave her a hug before heading out of her room to give her privacy. Meyrin stared at the closed door, the feeling of nervousness crawling up her back again.

"That's what everyone says," she grumped before getting ready for school.

"Have fun girls!" Mrs. Hawke said cheerfully from the driver seat of their car. Meyrin and Luna both hopped out. Their mother gave them a wave before driving away in a hurry to work. Meyrin grimaced at the entrance of her new school.

"Gundam High," she muttered to herself. "Strange name." She was shaken out of her stupor when her sister draped an arm over her shoulder.

"Come one, Rin!" Luna gave her a grin. "You're going to be laaate!" Meyrin stumbled to keep up with her skipping sister, her school bag weighing her down. She blew her red hair out of her eyes. Great, now she has to do her pigtails all over again.

"Um Luna?" she nervously poked her sister on the shoulder as they entered the front door. Her sister turned with question in her eyes. "Do you know where room 214 is?" Luna was suddenly preoccupied in waving to one of her friends, and totally ignored her sister. "Luna!"

"Oh!" Luna gave Meyrin an apologetic smile. "It's down the hall to the left of the cafeteria. Sorry, I'm in a hurry, so, how's this? You come and meet me in the cafeteria, the table by the left window, and I'll introduce you to my friends!"

"Um…"

"OK! It's settled! See you around!" With a hurried wave, Luna departed to chat with a nice looking pink haired girl.

"Luna…" Meyrin muttered hopelessly. "Gee thanks." With a sad sigh, she walked dejectedly towards her locker and got ready for her first period. Pulling out all her binders and the things she needed for the school year, she then grabbed her Geography binder and her pencil case before locking her locker and heading down the hall to her Geography class. She bit her lip nervously as she stood outside her classroom. "From this point on, my high school life will start… From this point on…"

"What the hell are you doing?" A boy's voice rudely called out behind her. Meyrin turned around in surprise. A boy with blue hair and blue eyes stared at her with an eyebrow raised. "Are you going to stare at me all day or are you going to get to class?" Meyrin blushed hotly and silently cursed the boy before rushing into the classroom. The boy behind her followed her confidently, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Hey Auel!" A blonde-haired girl with large magenta eyes, who sat on the left side of the square room waved dramatically towards the boy. "Over here!" At her voice, many of the students occupying the room turned. A few girls in the front were staring wide-eyed at 'Auel'. Meyrin wondered at this. "Who would want to like a guy like him? He's so rude!" Fortunately, as the attention turned towards Auel, Meyrin felt her face cool down.

"Oi, girl. You might want to go and find yourself a seat," Auel snickered from behind. "You're blocking my way." Meyrin blushed hotly for the second time before rushing to sit at an isolated spot at the back. She could feel the gazes of her fellow classmates that followed her.

"Auel!" The blonde girl from before admonished the blue haired boy as he sat down behind her. "That wasn't very nice."

"Tch," Auel waved her off. "I was just being honest."

The girl frowned at his attitude before standing up, getting her stuff and walked towards Meyrin. The red-haired girl looked surprised as the blonde walked over with a kind and innocent smile plastered on hr face. "Hi," the blonde said as she put her stuff on the desk beside Meyrin's. "I'm Stellar Louissier."

"I'm Meyrin Hawke," Meyrin said quietly. She took a quick glance at Auel, who was staring at Stellar in disbelief.

"You're kidding me," he groaned. "You're ditching me for her?" Stellar gave Auel a big smile.

"Yup!"

"It's okay, really," Meyrin said quickly. "You don't have to come and…"

"Oh, but I want to!" Stellar said. "Don't worry. Auel has other friends in this class to entertain him. They're just… late." She looked around the classroom thoughtfully. "And so is our teacher…"

Suddenly, as if on cue, a blonde haired man came stumbling into the classroom, casually dressed. He gave the staring class a lopsided smile. "Sorry, seems as though I forgot today was the first day of school." He set his briefcase on his desk at the front of the class and took of his sports jacket. "I'm Mwu LaFlaga. You may call me Mr. LaFlaga. This is Geography and in geography we learn about our world. Any questions?" He looked around the classroom, nobody raised their hands. He sighed.

"Alright then. Attendance."

Mwu turned from the class and shuffled through the papers of his desk, looking for the attendance sheet. The sound of his classroom door banging open and shut made him look up at the late student. A sheepish 9th grader smiled at him, his blue eyes shone with his embarrassment.

"Uh hi," he said. "I got kind of lost…"

"Jaden!" Auel gave him a smirk. "Hey!"

Jaden's eyes sparkled mischievously as he met his eyes with Auels'. "Oi, Auel!"

Mwu grinned. "It's alright, boy. It's the first day of school; I'll let you off this time, Mister…?" He scanned through the attendance sheet he had finally found underneath a pile of useless paper. "Curtis. Right." He gave the boy a nod of approval and Jaden sat himself down behind Auel.

The blue haired boy turned around. "Why are you late?"

"Hm?" Jaden blinked in confusion, ignoring Auel's question and looking around the classroom. "Where's Stellar? Oh, there she is!" He gave her a big wave and Stellar smiled back at him.

Auel scowled. "Jaden!" The other boy stopped waving and tilted his head in confusion towards him.

"Why are you so mad?" He asked.

"You know I hate being ignored," Auel hissed. "Now tell me why you're late."

"I got lost," Jaden rolled his eyes. "I told the whole freaking class like a minute ago. Weren't you listening?"

"As if I'd believe that."

"No, I'm serious!"

"Uh huh."

"I was walking around the wrong corridor for like half an hour!" Jaden exclaimed. He fell silent when he noticed the whole class was staring at him funny. "Uh, sorry," he said to the teacher who was giving him an amused grin. "Go on… teach."

"Nah," the teacher said. "I would much rather hear your exciting story on how you got lost than teach some boring, useless subject any day. Go on."

"Uh," Jaden stared at him. "That's okay. I, uh, love geography?" His false statement turned out sounding more like a question than anything.

The teacher laughed. "Right. And I'm the king of the England."

The bell rang. Finally. Meyrin gathered her things quickly and was about to head to her locker when a tap on her shoulder stopped her. She turned around to find Stellar smiling serenely at her.

"What classes do you have this semester?" Stellar asked.

Meyrin searched her memory. "Uh, Geography, Gym, Computers and Math."

Stellar's eyes glowed. "We have Geography and Gym together! Where's your locker?"

"Outside the Geography room," Meyrin answered as she stopped right in front of her locker. "Here."

"Aw," Stellar pouted. "My locker's upstairs. Oh well! I'll see you in Gym class!" The blonde girl gave her a cheerful wave before running to her own locker situated upstairs.
