Fullmetal School For the Hot and Nerdy Freshman Year
It was the best of times it was the worst of times, it was highschool, and our not so mild mannered youngsters are in for a year of drama. Edward's gotten the girl...Rose Lior that is. Wait what where's Winry and why does Coach Armstrong act so strang around Mr. Havoc. Is there something going on between Roy and Riza!? Will Alphonse ever walk without braces?! All these question and more will be answered in this, or the next, installment of Full Metal School For the Hot and Nerdy...freshman year.
Winry
Being in school was one thing, it was even worse when you didn't have anyone to talk to. I'm sure Miss Hawkeye was happy though, I was one of the only students paying attention. World Studies wasn't my favorite class, it was nothing against Miss Riza she was an awesome teacher, I just didn't like the class. I didn't really like any of my class, except shop; I love shop class.
Don't get me wrong I know school is important so I do my best and make pretty good grades, but I'm a young person and we just instinctively hate school. Well except my best friends Edward and Alphonse Elric. But right now Edward wasn't in the picture. He'd finally gotten a girlfriend and it had changed him a lot. He didn't hang out with me or talk to me anymore.
Use to be in class we would talk shop or science, I liked science class as well. He'd go on and on about chemical reactions and then I would go on and on about the mechanical usages of his chemical combination. It didn't help that I had harbored feeling for Edward since….well since we were kids. I'd know Edward and Alphonse since before kindergarten, since before I can remember; After all they did live with me.
Edward and Alphonse had lived with me and grandmother ever since there mother passed away. There dad hadn't been in the picture since before her passing, so they came to stay with us. My parents had been killed in a war many years ago when I was still really little. They were like my brothers in some ways, well Alphonse more than Edward. Edward I'd always likes as something other than a borther, not that he noticed; the short jerk.
So there I was sitting in World Studies listening to Miss Riza talk about the war of Ishbal as Edward flirted with his girldfriend behind me. Rose was the to girl in school, head cheerleader most popular and the prettiest. In other words she was hard to beat when it came to guys. But for all her school charms she lacked in personality.
She was and is the most stuck up prissy little princess in the whole school, and some how she'd sunk her manicured nails into my Edward! Sure I wasn't dating him and he had no clue I liked him, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going to make a move soon. If only little miss popular hadn't stepped in, gods I hate her!
I wish Alphonse were in the same grade level as me, at least then I'd have someone to talk to; but he's a grade lower. I guess things could have been worse, I mean at lunch I sit with Ling and Lan Fan now and they pretty nice. Ling's a bit of a narcissist but he's a funny narcissist. But they're in a different class rotation than me, I don't really get along with anyone else in my class.
I mean Paninya was in this class too but she had to sit at a special desk at the front of class because of her disability. Truthfully she didn't need to but the school forced her because they didn't want to look bad. I mean come on what's the big deal!? So what if she's got Metal prostedics not her fault! She lost both her legs and her parents in a train crash when she was little.
Now she lives with a world renowed prostedics inventor; I mean he patented the special metal limbs she was wearing. They worked just like normal limbs! Except they were strong and he sometimes put in these cools extra features that were….Right gearhead talk not interesting I'm sure moving on.
It always pissed me off that they put her up front when they didn't do that to Edward. Edward had lost a leg in a house accident after his mom passed; almost lost an arm too but he got lucky. Alphonse hadn't been as lucky, he had to wear metal braces all over his body just so he could move. But the doctors had hopes of taking the braces off soon, Alphonse had gotten a lot stronger and had healed nicely.
The bell rang and I turned to ask Edward if he'd grabbed his lunch box but found that he was already across the room, his arm around Rose's waist. She looked back at me and gave me this ugly smirk, I just glared. "She's a total pain in the ass Win don't let her get to you." Paninya said coming over so we could eat together. I nodded but I was still pretty pissed.
"Yeah I know, whatever lets eat! You want to trade sandwhiches? I got cucumber with carrot sticks and two apple pies! I had Pinako make an extra for you." I said grabbing my stuff and walking with Paninya. She smiled and threw an arm over my shoulder. "Winry this is why I like you! You know just how to treat a girl!" We both started laughing, which made me feel a lot better. So much I almost forgot about Edward and Rose…Almost.
