Hey readers! So this is that new idea of mine that I was rambling on about in the A/N for Teenage Dreamers. Underclassman Trouble's is kind of like my own adaption of Brothers Conflict (A.K.A BroCon.), for another anime series. The story will vaguely go along the lines of BroCon and other times it will seem exactly like it. Another thing is I'm ready to start trying some new crack pairings in this series. So this will be fun! I might even ask you guys who you want Gareki to end up with. We have a few of contenders to choose from. Also just putting this out there this story doesn't have a set plot so far.

Warnings: BoyxBoy romance and don't read until you've read chapter 38 or higher.

Disclaimer: I don't own Karneval and its characters or anything from Brother's Conflict. I wouldn't be sitting here writing fanfiction if I did own any of the following, silly people.


Gareki sighed loudly in the car, looking out of the window.

"Like I told you before Gareki. This move will be good for the both of us. We can start all over again. Isn't that nice?" his foster mother reasoned, gripping the steering wheel firmly.

"And like I told you before, I don't want to start over again. My life started over when you adopted me,"he argued back.

"Then just consider this a...new experience in your new life," Tsubaki explained glancing over at Gareki.

"Well maybe I don't want a new experience. Haven't you considered that? I just got a new life and now I already have to change that too?" Gareki said, trying the guilt trip method.

But the young woman was immune to his effort. "Oh stop being a baby Gareki. You know I'm big on going out of one's comfort zone. I like new experiences and so should you." Tsubaki took her right hand off of the steering wheel and placed it on Gareki's left hand.

Instead of replying, he rested his chin on his right hand looking at the scenery.

His foster mom sighed. "We'll be in the city in twenty ."

Gareki stepped out of the car and looked up at the house. His new home was located in a sunny and close community cul de sac. The two story home was cream colored, with a big front porch, bay windows, a welcoming red door, a bright green front lawn, a well paved driveway and a garage on the side of the house.

"So what do you think?" Tsubaki eagerly asked.

"I haven't even been inside of the house yet. How I could I form an opinion of it already?" Gareki asked.

The beaming woman just shrugged. "Dunno. But we'll go in as soon as you stop standing there like a knot on a log." She ran over to his side of the car grabbing his hand, closed the door in the process, and leading him through the pathway ,up the stairs and to the red front door. Gareki watched her, while she fished for something in her shoulder purse.

Suddenly she shoved the item she finally found in her purse at him.
"Here Gareki! You have the honor of opening the door to our new house! You doing this will symbolize the door to our new life being opened." Gareki looked down at the key in her hand, then up to her bright smiling face. Giving her his signature are-you-serious look.

"Oh come on just do it. I'm trying to make this a good experience for you too Gareki. Now stop being stiff and bend a little."

Gareki sighed and grabbed the key. "Thank you~," the woman sang.

"Whatever weirdo."
"I may be weird, but you love me," she retorted smiling at her foster son.

Gareki walked into his room. His foster mother had outdone herself with the moving. The bedroom fully furnished and all of his things were already arranged neatly. She truly wasn't joking when she said she wanted it to be a surprise and declined his help. Gareki looked at his bed and saw a uniform laid out neatly. He walked over to the bed, shrugged off his backpack, and stared at the uniform.

"What the hell," the boy thought aloud. He walked out of his room, running down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Can you explain to me why there's uniform on my bed," he asked glaring at his mom.

"Oh you saw it! Good!," she replied. She spun around, he dress flaring out, and smiled at him.

"I enrolled you at Kuronomei Academy. It's a government elite high school."

"Eh? And you failed to tell me this why?"

"Because I wanted it to be a surprise! And guess what? You start tomorrow"

"On a Wednesday? Who starts a new school on a Wednesday?"

The mother looked at him. "You do silly! Now why don't you go relax before your first day tomorrow."

The Next Day

Gareki was sitting in one of the plush chairs in the admissions office of Kuronomei. He fiddled with the sleeves of his uniform, while he waited for the class president and class vice president arrive to show him around. After waiting for ten minutes the door opened and a girl with long dark hair popped her head in and looked at him.

"Hey! You must be Gareki," she exclaimed smiling.

"Yea."

The girl fully opened the door ,walked into the room and over to him. She stuck her left hand out to him and placed her right hand on her hip.

"Hi I'm Ranji. Junior Class President at your service!" Gareki looked at her hand before taking it. The two exchanged a firm shake, but Ranji didn't let go of his hand instead the girl guided him out of the chair and led him to the door.

When he stepped out of the door, he was slightly blinded by a bright flashing light.

"What the hell?"

"Oh don't worry about that. It was just the CVP taking a photo for the yearbook and for the class memory box."

"Hi Gareki! I'm Seseri, Junior Vice Class President. Nice to meet you! Also your uniform really suits you, if you don't mind me saying." When Gareki's vision finally turn back to normal, he looked at the owner of the voice. The Sesiri girl had glasses and short light brown hair.

"Likewise and thanks," was all he replied. Seseri smiled and handed him a sheet of paper and held out a bag.

"That's your schedule. Right now we're going to go to homeroom which coincidentally is ours too. Also here is your handbook, supply list, and exclusive guidebook for your courses."

Gareki grabbed the bag full of books. While he was looking over his classes, Ranji's watch beeped.

"Homeroom is going to start in a bit. Come we have to go. Gareki you'll have enough time to look over your schedule and ask questions in homeroom," she informed him before leading him off. Sesiri quickly followed behind them.

"You can let go of my hand. I can follow along without help, I'm not a child, class prez." Instead of letting go, the girl continued on...and not letting go of his hand. Gareki felt slightly annoyed and opened to speak again but Seseri spoke before him.

"Oh don't worry over it. Ran is aware but its something she does to every new student, She's very excitable."

"Well look she doesn't have to do that to me," Gareki said making a abrupt stop that caused the hurrying class president jerk back.

"Wha? Gareki come on, we have to hurry up and go to homeroom." Ranji jerked her hand, trying to get him to move.

"Let go then."

"Are you serious? You're going to make us late because you want me to let go of your hand?"

"I don't need you treating me like a child besides I don't mind being late," he shrugged. Without another word, Ranji let go of his hand and turned away from him.

"Ran is very punctual, Gareki. So we need to hurry. You wouldn't want a lecture from her on your first day," Seseri chirped.

Just as they closed the door, the bell rang. Ranji let out a relieved sigh, making Gareki vaguely wonder why being "puntcual" was so important to her, it's not like she didn't have a good valid excuse to be late. Ranji collected herself swiftly before walking over to the podium in the front o f the class.

"Eh hem," the girl cleared her throat. The chatter in the background faded and gazes turned to her.

"Good morning everyone! This homeroom ,specifically, is not going to have announcement this morning because we are introducing a new student to Kuronomei Academy's junior class." Gareki felt a small push on his back. "Please humor her and go up next to the podium Gareki," Seseri whispered. Letting out a annoyed sigh, Gareki obeyed and walked next to Ranji, shoving his hands in his pockets in the process.

"Hey I'm Gareki. Just moved here yesterday and that's it basically."

"Plus he is enrolled in the technology mechanics and life medicine courses." A few nods of approval were made throughout the classroom but that didn't matter to him, he was thinking about the courses that he was supposedly enrolled in.

Honestly, he was one "surprise" away from-

"Gareki?" a voice said interrupting his thoughts. He huffed, annoyed, and looked at the person.

"Your seat is between Tsukumo, the blonde, and Kiichi the blue haired girl looking out the window," Seseri told him pointing to the empty desk in between the two girls who were just described to him.

He nodded and walked over to the desk. The blue haired girl didn't acknowledged his presence and continued looking outside. The blonde on the other hand did acknowledge him.

"Hi Gareki, I'm Tsukumo. Nice to meet you," she said giving him a small smile.

"Hey and same," he said before plopping down in his seat.

"I'm back Tsubaki!" Gareki announced before shutting the door behind him.

"In the kitchen!"

Gareki shrugged his bag off of his shoulder, put it on the sofa and proceeded to the kitchen.

Tsubaki looked to be in the middle of baking a pie.

"How was your first day?"

"Don't know. Just got shown around the school. I don't start classes until tomorrow."

"So today was your unofficial first day then huh?"

"I guess. And what's this about tech mechanics and life medicine courses?"

"Well I knew what kind of things you would be interested in and signed you for those classes, duh. That is what a mom is supposed to do right?"

"Well, yea. I guess."

"Good," she turned to him and smiled," would you like some pie?"

Hey guys! I hope you liked the first chapter! I didn't spend alot of time on detail because I wanted to get the main gist of the chapter through. Sorry it was really choppy too.

How do you like Tsubaki? I want her to be one of those people you can't help but love. Speaking of which, I'm not adding Yotaka and Tsubame in this story. There's nothing wrong with them but as many characters I have to portray correctly in this harem romance I decided to cut them out. Then again I might at Tsubame.

This is my first time writing boyxboy romance and for me to make it a harem too is alot to pull off ,in my opinion. So please don't hesitate to tell me politely if the story doesn't have enough boy-mance that it should. Also if you guys would like to have a say so in who Gareki ends up with, go ahead and include in your review.

Thank you Salt-the-Catgirl for wishing luck for this story. Let's hope it works.

Well that's it! Byeeeeeee~
