"Oh, Ed! Can you believe it? Going back to school! So many new things to learn. Oh Edmund, aren't you as excited as I am?" Lucy Pevensie squealed to her brother. Edmund scrunched his face up, turning to look at Lucy. He couldn't believe how different he was from all of his siblings! The three of them all loved to learn new things, they got extremely excited about the idea or even the very mention of learning a new thing. Whereas Edmund couldn't stand it, he didn't want to be stuck in a stuffy, old, wall crusted building for six hours a day, Monday to Friday, listening to the teacher ramble on about stupid facts that didn't even so much as spark an interest in his life.

"Lucy, you know that school doesn't spark excitement within me. The only thing it sparks is boredom! But it is a good thing, I suppose because now I can go back to using Math's class as my snore class," He laughed, seeing Lucy annoyed expression. She crossed her arms and huffed.

"Edmund! Math's is one of the most important things that you will need to get a job! Otherwise, how will you look after your family like mother does?" She quizzed her brother, knowing fully well what the answered would be but she tried anyway. Now it was Edmund's turn to cross him arms but instead of huffing, he sighed irritably before responding, "Lulu, I have been studying Math's since I was at least four, I am now sixteen. I mean. come on, there isn't a lot to do with Math's. I think I might have learned it all when I finished year eight! There's multiples, adding, subtracting, dividing, percentages, shapes. I know it all!"

"Uh huh!" Lucy rolled her eyes before continuing, "There's also angles, area, perimeter, pie, algebra, geometry, arithmetic, complex numbers, so on and so forth."

Edmund stood shocked before shaking his head, " Well lets be serious here Lucy. When in a life time will I use, angles, pie, algebra and complex numbers?"

Lucy started to speak but instantly closed her mouth, looking at something that was based behind Edmund. Edmund frowned, waving his hand in front of Lucy's face. She grabbed his hand, scowling before shoving him out of the way. Edmund quickly gathered himself and looked towards where Lucy was heading. His eyes caught sight of a girl, who is she?, he thought. He grazed his eyes over her appearance. Her hair was shiny black and hung down her back in perfect curls, stopping just before her waist line. Her skin was tanned and Edmund noted it was a natural tan. When she turned around to look at Lucy, he saw her eyes. They were a glossy sky blue colour and they had a little twinkle of happiness or excitement - Edmund couldn't decide - held within them. Her nose was quite like Lucy's in a way, petite and cute but what caught Edmund's attention the most was her smile, it shone! Making it impossible for Ed to keep his bad boy scowl on his face, the side of his lips turning upwards in a natural smile. He crept a bit closer to hear their conversation, immediately hearing the mysterious girl say that she was sixteen and attending his and Lucy's school. Edmund inwardly did a "weepee" dance, seizing the chance to walk over to the girls. He stopped in line by Lucy before saying, " Lu, I was worried sick. Don't run off again, you could of gotten lost."

"Oh I'm sorry, Ed. I didn't even realise my actions had caused you to worry. But now that you're here, let me introduce you to a new friend of mine, Edmund this is Melissa Davies. She new at our school! And Melissa, this is Edmund Pevensie, my brother." Lucy replied, enthusiastically. Melissa smiled at Edmund, he couldn't help but smile back.

"Hello, Edmund. It's nice to meet you," Melissa said, shyly. Edmund grinned at her shyness, he liked girls who were shy for some reason.

"Hello, Melissa. The pleasure is all mine," He responded, pleasantly. She giggled, looking at him. Lucy smirked knowingly at Edmund, before turning to the poor girl who was the new subject of Edmund's affections.

"Shall we go and sit down? Wait for the bell to ring," She asked Melissa, who nodded eagerly. She rushed off to a bench, while Lucy rounded on Edmund.

"Leave Melissa alone, Edmund. You will only hurt her like you do with every other girl. I will not have it. And besides, you already have a girlfriend!" She hissed to Edmund, making sure that Melissa couldn't hear. Edmund stared wide eyed at Lucy, while she flounced of to sit with her new best friend.

So what if I have a girlfriend, I can dump her. Melissa sweet! And it looks as if this year is about to get even more interesting, he thought, smirking towards Melissa, who sat talking to Lucy, not seeing the look on his face.

"Hey, Eddy baby!" Someone squealed from behind him, he groaned deeply, before spinning around with a forced smile on his face, holding his arms out.

Chantelle had arrived.
