Chapter 1

A New School Year

"Hanon! Blaze! It's time to get up!" Came the voice of Hanon and Blaze's mum, Mrs. Bradshaw from downstairs.

Hanon got up straight away after hearing this, and began to get ready for school, collecting her school uniform and went to the bathroom to change.

After ten minutes she was ready to go, and went downstairs to have some breakfast as well as make sure she had all her things in her bag.

"Good morning mum." Hanon said as she entered the kitchen, watching her mum smile at her as she placed a bowl of cereal in front of her daughter.

"Good morning Hanon, is you're brother up yet."

"I'm not sure, it was really quiet when I went past his room so I'm gonna have to say that he's not up."

"You finish your breakfast and I'll go up and check on him."

"Okay." Hanon said, watching her mother head upstairs in what seemed an impossible mission to get his brother to wake up and get out of bed, while she took a few final bites of her breakfast before placing the cereal bowl in the sink and walking over to her bag just to be sure she didn't leave without something important.

When she was sure that she had got everything she needed a knock at the door could be heard, and knowing her mum had bigger problems to deal with, she decided to see who it was.

When she answered the door, she was surprised to see Luchia, Rina and Mia stood there.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? We came to see if you're ready to go to school." Luchia said, while Rina nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we can't be late on the first day."

"Oh, okay. But we might end up being late if Blaze doesn't get up soon."

"He's not up yet?" Rina asked giving Hanon the chance to answer which she took.

"Yeah. Mum's gone upstairs to wake him up, but she's been up there for over ten minutes now so I'm pretty sure that she's not managed to get him up."

"Leave it to us." Luchia told her, walking into the house and up the stairs, ignoring Rina's lecture on the fact that she shouldn't go into someone's house without asking permission first.

When she was on the second floor she noticed Hanon's mum coming out of Blaze's room, and it looked like trying to wake Blaze up was unsuccessful for her.

"Good morning!" Luchia declared in a cheerful fashion as Mrs. Bradshaw turned to them with a smile.

"Ah, Luchia, Rina, good morning."

"Is Blaze ready to go?" Rina asked, seeing Mrs. Bradshaw sigh with a shake of her head.

"I'd love to tell you that he was, but I'm afraid that he just won't get out of bed. Honestly that boy can be pretty stubborn at times."

"Don't worry, there's one thing that gets him out of bed every time." Luchia told her, before walking into the room, along with Rina, leaving a confused Mrs. Bradshaw stood outside the room.

Upon entering the room, Rina went to the wardrobe and pulled out Blaze's School Uniform before heading towards the bed where Luchia was now stood, who took a deep breath before she said anything.

"Blaze! Trio the Minor is here for Hanon!"

As soon as these words were said, Blaze bolted upright and clambered out of bed, though as soon as he did this, his uniform was shoved into his hands, which caused him to look up at Luchia and Rina.

"Sorry, Blaze. We had to use our last resort because you wouldn't get out of bed." Luchia told the boy, watching him glare at her before he went into the bathroom to change, coming out a few minutes later fully dressed, and it was obvious that he was still a little bit mad at the two girls because he didn't even look at them as he left the room, collecting his book bag and a cereal bar from kitchen cupboard before leaving the house, and after saying goodbye to Mrs. Bradshaw, Luchia, Rina, Mia and Hanon left for school too.

"Blaze how many times do we have to say sorry?!" Luchia asked, watching Blaze turn to her.

"Until you actually mean it."

"That's enough, big brother. They said they're sorry so let it go." Hanon told the boy, knowing that what she said would surely get him to stop being mean to Luchia and Rina.

"Okay, but you need to promise not to do that again, understand?"

"Yes, Blaze, we understand. We won't do that again, right Luchia?"

"Fine, but you have to get up on time so that we won't be late for school, okay?"

"Yep fine."

Hanon was happy that her brother and her friends had made up. After all she didn't like to see them fighting with each other.

Just then, a girl around the same age as them ran past, though it seemed like she was going to fast as she tripped over a stone, which sent her and her books flying.

"Are you okay?" Hanon asked, running over and helping the girl stand up, before gathering the girl's things and passing them to her watching the girl nod in reply.

"I'm fine, thank you for helping me."

"You're welcome. I'm really sorry but I've got to go, I'm already late as it is." Hanon said apologetically before she turned towards the school, and continued heading towards it, while the girl watched on with a small smile.

Luckily for the teens, they'd managed to arrive at school just before it started, heading into their classroom and sitting down just as the teacher came in.

"Good morning class. Today we have a new student joining us, so I'd like you to make her feel welcome. Come in and say hello." The teacher said, and a moment later, a young girl walked in, causing Hanon to sit there with a shocked expression on her face as this girl was the girl she had helped on the way to school.
