Prologue

The blond sighed deeply. He hated new schools. Not knowing anyone or being the outcast. Catching up was easy enough. Being subject to rumors and gossip was never any fun.

Why did this have to happen to him? What's that sound? Why did they have to move again? What is that sound? Why was he standing here, in the middle of a deserted hallway, asking himself these stupid questions? What the hell is that sound?!

WHAM!!!

The blond fell onto the floor, holding his recently injured head.

Foot falls stopped abruptly as bright green eyes fell upon the injured boy.

"Hey kid, are you alright?" asked a soft female voice. Golden eyes lifted to see a woman crouched down, hugging her knees, a little ways away from himself. "I'm sorry! Did I hurt you?"

He waved her off with a small smile and slowly brought himself to his feet. "Nah. I'm alright."

"Good!" She chirped, then reached for a folded piece of paper on the ground. As the pale girl unfolded it he realized exactly what it was.

"Hey- give that back!"

He was ignored.

"Ah! You're a freshman I see... and a transfer no less." She smirked and he shivered. "'Edward Elric.' Nice to meet you Edward. My name is Jennifer Bismark, but I prefer Noah." She smiled at him. "I'm a Senior."

He muttered a 'Great' as she continued to look over his schedule.

"Eww, no way! You got Scar 4th period. Pfft, good luck." Ed sighed, somewhat relived, as she returned the paper. "Well it seems you get here in time for lunch!" Noah said while stuffing her hands into the pockets of her black pullover hoodie. "I was on my there myself. Come on, you can sit with me."

As he was led down the locker lined empty halls to the cafeteria a small smile twitched at Ed's lips. Not even five minutes after he left the main office and he had already been attacked by, and made friends with, a Senior.
