Chapter 1

It was the first day of school in North High School for every student, who were either chatting or trying not to be late on their first day. The only person that stood out was a golden pigtailed haired boy with golden eyes, who walked up the hill with the rest of the student with an really annoyed look on his face.

"Man, I would rather be searching for a way to get back home then going to school, I didn't need school back home so why here?" the boy thought as he got tired from walking up the hill to get to the school. It didn't take long for Edward to go to the locker room to put his shoes in his locker and put the school's ones on. He sighed and headed to his classroom to start the boring school day of his first day there.

Upon entering the classroom, all the students had already gotten in there seats and were chatting with each other while they waited for the teacher to come. He sighed and sat himself in the middle desk, then waited like the other students who were still getting to know each other. He noticed that a few guys were picking up on girls with the lamest pick up lines he ever heard someone say in his life.

"Hello, you must be the foreign transfer student from England, right? How are you enjoying your stay in Japan?" The voice of a cheerful girl asked, he looked up to see a girl with long blue hair and blue eyes.

"Uh, It's alright." Edward simply answered, dotting his eyes towards the teacher's desk and wanting to get this school day done. "I'm still learning Japanese..."

"Ah, but your Japanese is very good. My name is Asakura Ryouko, if you ever need anything just ask." With that, she showed her yellow-tulip-like smile and then went back to the other girls, who giggled at Edward, making him blush. He returned his gaze to the teacher's desk and heard the door open, telling everyone that the teacher was finally here. Everyone returned to their seats as Edward's eyes widened and mouth hung open upon seeing who his teacher was going to be...

"Hello class, my name is Von Hohenheim and I'll be your teacher for this year." the man said looking over the chipboard with his students names on it. "Now, let's introduce ourselves!"

Hohenheim started with the students on the left side of the class to introduce themselves. Each of them went one by one announcing their name, the name of their old school, and other trivial stuff, such as a hobby or favorite food. Some people mumbled their way through it, a few had some pretty interesting introductions, while some tried to tell lame jokes that weren't even funny to begin with. As the different people introduced themselves, it was time for Edward to introduce himself.

"Edward Elric, from England." was all Edward said before turning back to his seat feeling the relief to get that over with. He was so going to talk to his father about not telling him that he was going to not only be teaching at the school, but teaching the class he was put into.

The person behind him stood up for her turn and started her introduction which was like everyone else until she, she was called Haruhi Suzumiya, said, "... Normal humans don't interest me. If anyone here is an alien, a time traveler, slider, or an esper, then come find me! That is all."

Edward's face became startled and pale, then slowly turned around to look at her, the rest of the class doing so as well. She had long slender black hair and her glinting eyes were filled with seriousness and determination before she scanned the class slowly. She stopped to glare at Edward, still with his startled and pale face, for a minute and then sat down without so much as a smile. The whole class was silent for thirty-five seconds before Hohenheim urged the next person to continue with the introductions.

The classes went by fast until lunchtime came, and Edward used it to head to the teacher's office to talk to his father. He was more than just a little irritated that his father had so nicely neglected to mention he'd be teaching starting that day.

It probably wouldn't have been such a big deal if Hohenheim had had the foresight to tell his son first. But no, of course not. Nothing like a surprise like that for your first class of the day. He entered the room to find his father eating his lunch...

"So, is there a reason you didn't bother to tell me you'd start teaching at the school?" Edward asked icily. His father stopped eating his lunch before turning to look at the annoyed teen.

"I didn't think it'd be important," he said calmly.

"Not important? I think that it would have been very nice to know rather than being surprised like that," Ed replied.

"Well I'm sorry then," Hohenheim responded.

"Why did you bother anyway?" Ed pressed angrily. "Surely you have so many better things to do instead of invading the school as a teacher?"

"I have my reasons, but they aren't things that I can tell you," his father said, obviously wishing to go back to what he was needing to do.

"And why not?"

"They're reasons that need to be kept secret," Hohenheim said, starting to get agitated. "If I could tell you then I would. You'll have to trust me on this one, Edward."

Before Edward could even give his old man a pice of his mind, the door opened again and in entered Asakura Ryouko with a pile of papers under her arm. "Hohenheim-sensai, here's the papers that you wanted."

"Ah, thank you, Asakura-san." Hohenheim said as the blue haired girl handed him the papers.

"Hello again, Edward-san. What are you doing here?" Asakura asked smiling at him which creeped him a bit.

"Having a chat with my old man here..." answered Edward before giving his father the annoyed look. "I better be going."

Edward left the two alone in the teacher's office to go back to his homeroom class and sit there until the next class comes. He wasn't sure why his father would rather pick being an teacher then finding a way back home, but he was going to find out.

A few weeks have passed since Edward's first day of school, which gave him time to observed some of Haruhi's eccentric behaviors. She changed her hairstyle every day, which really only interested him because he could see a patten going on. The other was always before PE started, when Haruhi totally ignored the guys in the class and removed her sailor uniform before they had left. Asakura Ryouko would always drive the guys out of the classroom, all but Edward who just walked out of the classroom to stay away from that weird girl.

He would see Asakura Ryouko with his father sometimes, being the class representative and all that. According to her, the girls, with Asakura herself as their leader, tried to talk Haruhi out of doing that, but to no avail. Every PE class, Haruhi would ignore the rest of the class and take her uniform off without so much as a glance. At the request of Asakura Ryouko, the guys would always leave the room when the first bell rang.

He was going to ask someone who knew Haruhi from her previous school to shed some light on her weird eccentric behavior.

The next day...

"Taniguchi, you've checked out every single first-year girl in this school?"

Taniguchi and his best friend were on the steps of the stairway talking about who they thought enters their 'Top Three Cutest First Year Girls' list. They hardly notice Edward walking up to them since they were so into the conversation they having right now.

"That's right, Kunikida! I group girls into A to D categories and, believe me, I only remember the names of the A girls. You only get to go through high school life once— I want mine to be as happy as possible." Taniguchi explained with such passion in his voice.

Edward ignored the conversation and politely interrupt. "Excuse me, I heard that one of two was Haruhi's classroom at her old school."

"Ehh? If your interested in that girl then all I can advise you is to give up! You should know by now that she's not normal." Taniguchi said, as Edward raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not interested in her like that! I just wanted to know the weird things she's done at her old school... I was told that you went to that school." Edward explained a little annoyed.

"I was in her class three years in a row, yes; I know how she is. She always does incredibly baffling things. I thought she would at least try to control herself after she got into senior high; apparently she hasn't. You heard her introduction speech, right?" Taniguchi asked, as Edward nodded.

"You mean the alien stuff?" Kunikida butted in to their conversation.

"Yeah that. Even back in junior high she always said and did lots of weird stuff. For example there was this school vandalization incident about three years ago!" Taniguchi said getting into his story.(Editor's note: I added in the "three years ago" part so things make sense a few paragraphs down)

"What happened?" Edward asked, wanting to know.

"You know that one tool where you use plaster dust to draw field lines, right? What's it called... Anyway, she snuck into school at night and, with that thing, drew a huge symbol in the middle of the field." Taniguchi had a mischievous smile on his face— he was probably remembering the incident. "That was so shocking. I went to school early that morning, and all I saw was a big circle with triangles. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be, so I went up to the fourth floor to get a bird's eye view. That didn't help— I still didn't know what that symbol was."

Edward was deep in thought at this point. A big circle with triangles? Could it be? No, it couldn't... the only way to find out is to talk to her directly... and three years ago? There has to be connection to when we appeared and the school vandalization incident.

"Hello, you there?" Taniguchi asked, waving his hand in front of Edward's face.

"I have to go..." Edward answered before leaving the two alone.

Edward returned to his homeroom to see Haruhi siting quietly in her seat while the rest of the class were chatting among themselves. He sat at his desk and looked at Haruhi, who didn't seen to even notice him since she was looking at the window on the right of the class.

"Hey, I was hoping to ask you something . . . " asked Edward knowing that he would get a cold reply from her.

With her arm crossed on her chest, lips sealed together, Haruhi kept her posture, then turned her face toward him and stared right into his eyes. "What do you want?"

"I was wondering about the school vandalization incident that happened three years ago. Can you enlighten me about the symbol you drew?" Edward explained keeping his eyes on Haruhi who still had her serous face.

"Are you an alien?" Haruhi asked.

"... No." Edward simply said rolling his eyes.

"Then don't talk to me. You're wasting my time." Haruhi then removed her glare from him disdainfully, and started to frown at the blackboard.

Edward was not the kind of guy who would give up that easily. ""Do you change your hair style each day because each day of the week gives off a different image?"

"When did you notice?" Haruhi wondered, facing him again.

"For awhile now." was all Edward could say.

"Oh." Haruhi said looking back at the blackboard. "It's just as you say. For color: Monday is yellow, Tuesday is red, Wednesday is blue, Thursday is green, Friday is gold, Saturday is brown, and Sunday is white."

Edward, being the child prodigy that he is, understood what she is trying to say. "Then that means if we use numbers to represent the color, Monday is one and Sunday is six, right?"

"That's correct." Haruhi looked at me closely like trying to remember something. "Have I seen you somewhere before? Like a long time ago?"

"No, I never been to Japan until a few weeks ago."

The bell ring for school day to end and their first conversation ended. Edward got his things to go home and thought about what Haruhi said to him. There was no way he could have met her since he appeared in England and not Japan.

The next day, Edward entered the classroom to discover that Haruhi had the waist length of her hair has been shortened to shoulder length. He sat at his desk and decided to talk to Haruhi once again, to see if he could get her to talk about incident three years ago.

"May i ask you something?" Haruhi asked getting some odd looks from Edward. She would unusually stay silent until class and here's she talking to him.

Edward nodded with disbelieve on his face, "Uh sure.."

"I thought that high school would be a bit better, but in the end it's the same as mandatory education. Nothing changes at all. Looks like I joined the wrong school. Sports and cultural clubs are all the same; if only there were some unique clubs in school... What do you think?" Haruhi sighed.

"Uhhh..." Edward wasn't sure what to say to that. ""Well, it really depends on your interests. If you can't find a club to your liking then you have to create it your self."

"Like there's a club that has my interests.." with that she looked away.

That's because the stuff you're interested in isn't normal... Edward thought waiting for his father to come and start class.
