Chapter One

New Students

As I headed into school, all I could think about was seeing my friends after the long summer break. However, as I pushed open those heavy meatal doors, friends were the farthest thing from my mind.

Every school has them. New kids. They usually come in at the beginning of the year but not always. They are lost and alone. But, these seemed different in two ways.

1.They were in a group.

2.They didn't seem nervous.

There were three of them. The tallest was wearing worn black jeand and a bright red t-shirt that said 'BURN' across the front in thick black lettering. He had bright green eyes, and bright red hair that was styled into long spikes to the back. Next to him stood a nother boy that was wearing dark bluye jeans, a red belt and yellow t-shirt. He also had spikey hair, but sicking up, and it was brown. His eyes were a dark blue. There was a girl standing next to him with matching blue eyes and sholder-length brown hair. She was dressed in a short, blue-plaid skirt and a white blouse. She also wore knee-high black socks along woth brown shoes.

"Hey you!" shouted the brown haired boy.

"Who, me?" I was startled.

"Yeah. Do you know where we go to get schedules?"

"Oh, probably in the office."

"Where's that?" he asked.

"I'll show you." I walked the twenty feet to the office. "Right here."

"Can I hepl you?" The secretary inquired.

"We need schedules." The girl told her.

"Names?"

"Kairi," she informed her.

"Sora," said the brown-haired boy. The last boy replied cooly.

"Axel." Axel. The name rang aroun in my head for a while.

"Here you go," said the secretary as she handed them each a schedule. She did not ask for last names.

"Hey Emily!" I turned just in time to be run over my friend Hannah.

"Haven't seen you in a while," she said, out of breath.

"Hey," I turned around to see my friends Sam and Nicole walking over.

"Damn, I have science A-block," was the first thing out of Sam's mouth.

"Hey, me too!" Hannah exclamed. I glanced a my schedule.

"Me three!" I squealed as I saw that, I too, had A-block science.

"Me four," came a voice from behind me. I turned and realized that it was Axel. I had forgotten that the three were behind me.

"Emily, who's that?" Hannah asked nervously.

"Oh, new students. Sora, Kairi, Axel," I said, pointing at each one in turn.

BEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The warning bell rang, and startled us all.

"To science!" I yelled.
