"Flip! Why do I have to be late for school, again? I'll surly get expelled!" I asked myself as I ran toward the school building. (A/N: Not Cross Academy, yet.) I skidded to a halt as the principal stood outside the gate, waiting for me. 'Dang it, why?!' I asked God. You see, I live on my own a few blocks from my school, but I get up way later than I should, probably from being up all night.

Now Mr. Leo, the principal was very nice, but I was late a lot, so I hoped he'd be lenient on me today. I guess I wasn't very lucky, yet was very lucky at the same time, you'll see. Behind Mr. Leo was another man, and two teens, a girl with dark brown hair and burgundy eyes, and a boy with silver hair and violet eyes. "Sorry I'm late. Again. For the 47th time. Literally," I said dropping my head. "You kept count?" Mr. Leo asked me. I nodded. The man behind my Mr. Leo looked a bit like he was going to laugh, the boy raised an eyebrow, and the girl looked impressed.

Then Mr. Leo spoke, "This is Kaien Cross, the Headmaster of Cross Academy, his adopted daughter Yuki, and Zero Kiryu. I'm introducing you because I discussed your frequent tardiness with Headmaster Cross, and he thought boarding school would be good for you, I however have not explained to him your living arrangements of present. Do you mind telling him? And maybe a bit about yourself, if you'll excuse me, I must head inside for a moment."

I hated this, Mr. Leo was so mean for making me tell the Headmaster this, AND abandoning me on top of that! I took a deep breath, "My name is Yuro Mitsuki (Night of the Full Moon), I have only ever known my mother, who died 8 years ago. I am 13 years old. I stay up all night, am a strait A+ student, and an artist who works mostly in manga and anime in several different medias." All in one breath, I'm getting better. The Headmaster looked at me, a bit thoughtful,

"You don't have a father, or anyone else to take care of you?" I nodded my head. "And your mother died 8 years ago?"

Again I nodded. Then I remembered something, "Actually there are two people who I feel like take care of me. You'd never believe what their names are though. Their names are Ferdinand and Isabella! Though only Ferdinand is Spanish. I met them on a trip to America last year, and Isabella has sent me letters and money ever since, along with a few visits."

"Ferdinand and Isabella! Like the king and queen of Spain! So they're like siblings to you?"

"Yes, well Isabella is at least, I never saw much of Ferdinand when Isabella took me out in the daytime. He was always sleeping," I recalled. He never was awake. "I also have her cell number. I could call her." At that moment my phone rang, and as if to prove a point, it was Isabella. "Moshi moshi?" I asked into the phone.

"Oh Yuro! I miss you! I'm coming for a visit very soon though! Oh and Ferdinand says hi!"

"Isabella! I miss you too! I can't wait and I say hi back! I'm a bit busy right now though. Umm… one second." Then I turned to the Headmaster, "Well?"

"I think there will be room for you at Cross Academy. Thanks to your IQ you will be able to start high school when you come," he said, "Are you going to tell her?"

I nodded and got the phone back to my mouth, "Hey, Isabella. I just got accepted to a boarding school!"

"Really? Which one?"

"Cross Academy."

"What!? Oh I'm so happy for you! That school is supposed to be amazing! Um, when did you get accepted?"

"Today, just a second ago."

"So is the Headmaster still there?"

"Yeah."

"Oh my! Well can I talk to him, since I provide for you?"

I looked back at him, "She wants to talk to you, is that ok?"

"As a provider for you, it is perfectly alright," he told me and I gave him the phone. After a few minutes, they agreed on something and he handed me back the phone, "We have decided that you will be coming on a scholarship."

Plain and simple. I got back on the phone. "Well bye Isabella see you soon, and Ferdinand too!"
