I don't own the characters andzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz you know the drill. Read and review! ;]

AUTHORS NOTE: You must notice that I've changed the age gap between the characters so it would work out in the school, like Piers is 17, Ashley and Sherry are 16, Claire was on her first year in college so she is 19, Leon in 22, ada 24 and so on….

The year was 1999, It was his first Day on the job. If he could say that… He was only there to work as a substitute director while his uncle was away. It wasn't planned, but his uncle decided to stay away for while to take care of some unknown disease… He never wanted to be a school director, in fact he was training to be a cop in the near future, but it could be a nice experience and it was some good cash.

- Here I am. – Leon placed his bag on his new table, everything was really fancy there, the chair, the frames on the wall and the statues… Some were even creepy. He had to be serious, he was young and sitting on this chair required some respect from the students.

Knoc, knoc. The door interrupted his thoughts.

- Come in. – He said softly readjusting himself on the chair.

- Hey. – A beautiful asian woman entered his room. Danm she was hot. She looked just about his age, maybe she was a teacher? – Wow, you sure look young mister…

- Leon. Leon Kennedy. – He stood up to shake her hand.

- I'm Ada, Ada wong, school's councilor. Mr. Irons told me you'd be here today and that I should give you some advice since he wouldn't be able to do it himself. I brought a file with every school teacher resume, and also some of the student's, at least those who matter. – Quite cold for a councilor eh? – You see this one? – She pointed at the picture of a blonde girl, her ears were too big, she didn't look that attractive, which was good he was there as the school director the last thing he needed was a scandal. –She's the president daughter, Ashley. Her presence is a prestige for this private school and the president also gives us some bonus so no matter what, you must agree with everything she says, ok?

- Are you sure about that, because that's definitely out of my league, I should be the authority here.

- Well… you are, just not for her.

Leon sighed. He knew not everything was fair and things didn't work out the way they should, but he couldn't just accept it happily.

- I'm done here, if you need anything just call my room. Here's my number. – Leon took a good look at the numbers. – Just one more thing: You're handsome, watch out for the girls here, all their parents are powerful, you wouldn't want them on your feet. – She continued wearing a little smirk on her lips. Sexy.

- I'll keep that in mind miss Ada. – Leon said with a serious tone.

Beeing the captain of the basketball most prestigious team on the country wasn't a piece of cake, a lot of parents would be suspicious about his work and sometimes the kids would question it too, so Chris Redfield was always doing his best when he was coaching. Teaching those boys was his biggest passion anyway. The only thing that distracted him was her. Jill Valentine, the history teacher. She was always with a serious look on, but not even that made her less attractive. She looked perfect to him, they were kind of friends, but not as close as Chris wanted, the only person who knew about his crush was his little sister, he worked his best on trying to hide it. Chris was never lucky with girls, and not very good with love matters either, so it was better that way. She'd always walk past his court at the same time, and there she was heading for her second period class.

- Hey coach, are you listening to me?

- Hm? What?

- Stop spacing out coach! This is important! We're heading for our quarter finals next weekend and I feel like I need some improvement on my three point shots. Can we meet out of school period so we can practice it?

- Yeah sure. – Chris answered breaking his eyes away from Jill valentine and looking at the young and strong man in front of him. Piers Nivans. He was his best player. A strong willed captain with good heart. He adored him.

- Thanks. Tomorrow then?

- Sure!

- Hey Captain, I gotta go back to class, second period it's about to start, wanna have lunch together later? – He asked already packing to leave.

Danm! He forgot his lunch again…

-Shit! Gotta call mys sister and ask her to bring my lunch! Thanks for reminding me about it Piers! But fine, we can eat lunch together.

As soon as Piers left for class Chris went to the closest phone booth, he'd call his sister Claire to bring him lunch, she was probably not doing anything, she had just dropped college. Danm kid, he was starting to be worried about her, she only showed interest in motorcycle, well at least she didn't have interests in having a boyfriend either. But more and more she was looking like a rebel, always on that Harley of hers. Was a mistake to have given her that….

- Hey Claire, Are you free? – Chris said as soon as he heard his sister on the other side of the line.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

That school was just as fancy as Chris had told her. It was private after all, her brother would always mention that all the kids that went there were important people. She didn't care about it though, so this was the first time she had come here, only because her clumsy brother had forgotten his lunch.

She parked her Harley and entered the school ground ignoring the suspicious glares she was getting from some staff. Chris would always tell her off for wearing 'rebels clothing' arguing that it gave people the wrong impression of her, she didn't care about it though, not caring about what other people think was a part of her, was what made her who she was and she felt good about it.

She wondered on the corridor's feeling lost, danm big school! How was she supposed to find Chris when she was this fucking lost?!

She heard some voices coming from the room next door. Good, let it be someone who she can ask where to find Chris. Were they fighting though? Those voices looked a bit louder than normal. She entered the room without knocking. 3 girls were surrounding another. They were pushing her against the wall.

- You freak! – The blonde girl that wasn't wearing the school uniform said while laughing and pushing the other blonde in front of her. The bully girl wasn't old enough to be an employee. A student? Then why was she not wearing a uniform? And why wouldn't the other girl react?

Before the bully girl and her companions could push the young student again Claire got in the middle of them.

- Hey! Let go of her!

- Who are you? – The blonde bully said not amused. Danm she had big ears!

- The one who's gonna kick your ass if you make one more move. – Claire said glaring at the younger girl in front of her.

- Hm! Like you'd do that. – Big ears said smiling and the other two that were with her immediately joined making their giggling echo on the music room.

- Try me. – Claire smirked closing her fists. She wouldn't bother some action. She hated injustice, just like her brother.

The bully studied Claire for a while.

- Let's go girls, leave the looser and her new lesbo friend there, it's not worth it. – She said starting to leave followed by her comrades.

- Hey, are you okay? – Claire said holding the other girl's shoulder softly.

- I'm okay… - The blonde answered looking at her savior.

- I'm Claire. Claire Redfield. What's your name?

- I'm Sherry Birkin. I'm a second year here. – The girl was still staring at Claire's clothes. Maybe Chris was right afterall.

- There's no need to be scared, I won't hurt you. – I'm not a rebel you know, just into motorcycles…

- I'm not. You have a pretty cool style. Thanks for the help.

- Welcome. Why didn't you reac though? I bet you could take them. – Claire said giving a light punch on Sherry's shoulder

- It's not worth it. That's Ashley, she's the president's daughter, she practically rules this school. She's free to do as she pleases.

- Is that why she wasn't wearing a uniform?

- Yeah.

- Danm that sucks. Well but even being the president's daughter doesn't change the fact that she is fugly. I bet she only messes around with you because you're a billion times prettier than her. - Claire said winking making the younger girl blush.

- I- I gotta go… - Sherry said looking at the door, she was desperately trying to hide her embarrassment.

- Wait! Can you please tell me where I can find Chris Redfield? – Sherry looked at Claire as if she had just realized something.

- Oh! You're Mr. redfield's sister right?

- Yeah. – Claire smiled.

- I see, you two look alike. You'll find him on the school's court it's on the west side. You have to take the stairs. I gotta go now. Thanks again!– Sherry said leaving the room.

- You're welcome…. – Claire said taking a deep breath; she wanted to know more about Sherry, why was she being bullied? It was fucking stupid that a place like a school would allow such a thing to happen… And knowing that that Ashley was free to do as she pleased was something to worry about. For now, there was nothing she could do about it though, she had to find Chris and give him his danm lunch.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

He was late. Danm, Piers, stop being so anxious! Chris couldn't be late since they hadn't set a time to meet. But the students only had an hour for lunch break and time flew. It looked like he'd have to join his team mates for lunch; Chris wasn't going to show up after all. Piers started to collect his things to go look after his team mates.

- Hey! Sorry I'm late! – Piers turned around to confirm that the hand touching his shoulders was really Chris' and… a girl? Was she his girlfriend? – This is my sister, Claire. Claire this is Piers, the captain of my team.

- NIce to meet you Piers. – Piers let out a breath he didn't know he was holding; of course it was his sister! And he shouldn't be nervous about it at all, Coach was free to date anyone he wanted, they were bros! And bros weren't jealous of each other!

- Nice to meet you Claire. – He shook Claire's hand, now he could tell the resemblance. But he didn't like what she saw in her eyes, she looked like she knew! Like she had found out about his deepest secret. He had been to careless reacting like that at the thought of Chris having a girlfriend, and now he was busted.

- I thought the rest of the guys were going to join us? – Chris asked looking around for the rest of the team.

- I didn't ask them to join, they are all too impressed with the speculation that the world is about to end. That's the only thing they have been talking about these days, so I didn't want to hear any more of that.

- Oh yeah, the teachers have been talking about it on our lounge too. That the world is going to end on 2000 right? That's really bull shit, I'm happy to see you don't believe that either. – Chris said petting Piers head making the young boy blush and Claire try to hide a smirk, danm that girl could read between the lines! No wonder her eyes looked wiser beyond her years.

- Hey Piers? – Claire asked. – You know that girl?

- Which one? – He asked looking confused.

- That one. – She said pointing to the other side of the school garden. – Blonde, short hair, over there? Her name is Sherry.

- Sorry I do not know her. Why? – Piers asked confused.

- It's nothing never mind… - Claire said following the blonde girl with her eyes. – You know what; you two should go ahead and have lunch I gotta go. See ya. – Claire said leaving at the same direction Sherry went.

- Don't mind her Piers, she has been acting weird since she dropped college, she should find a fine young man to date and maybe she would settle down a little more. I'd totally approve you going out with her if you weren't underage. Ha! – Chris said elbowing the basketball captain.

- Thanks coach. – Danm why don't you just shoot my fucking heart!

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Leon had changed his mind, it was better to take his sandwich to his office, it was his first day there, eating alone was kind of lonely and he still had to go over those files Ada had handed him earlier. Maybe he could call Ada and ask if she wanted to have lunch together… Nah! Would make him look too needy! Going back to the office was his best move. Leon opened his door holding his sandwich with his other hand.

- Leon?

- Ada? What are you doing in my office? – Leon asked surprised at the sight of the woman behind his desk.

- Your office? Now, aren't you already feeling home Leon. I'm glad, and don't worry I was just about to leave your office. I only came here to deliver another file I had forgotten earlier. Oops… sorry about my clumsiness. – She didn't look sorry though.

- Oh… alright…

- Well, enjoy your lunch. – Ada said walking past a paralyzed Leon, leaving only her perfume behind filling his lungs.

Leon looked around, was Ada really there to deliver a document? Why would she wait until he was away from his room? Something was off, he wasn't a cop yet but he had studied enough to know something wasn't right…..

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

- Eating at the library? Isn't that forbidden? That's kind of badass. – Claire said resting her hands on her waist.

- Claire! You're still roaming around here? – Sherry asked looking over her lunch.

- I saw you coming here so I decided I'd stay a little longer. Do you always have lunch here?

- Not always… I just couldn't stand everyone talking about the end of the world anymore. Do you believe that the world is going to end next month Claire?

- I dunno… I don't want to think about it I guess, but if it ends I just know I have done everything I like and live the way I want so I guess it would be ok.

Sherry looked at Claire with a puzzled face. The blonde blue eyes wondered over Claire once more, it wasn't hard to see that Claire owned her destiny; she was a strong spirited girl. But there was something more about her, she wasn't just tough, the way she looked at Sherry made the young girl feel protected in a way she hadn't ever felt. She decided it was okay to let Claire go near her, at least for today

- What about you Sherry? Do you believe it? – Claire said taking a seat next to the uniformed girl.

- I don't care I think… I just hope if it ends we end up going to the same place the dinosaurs did. I've always wanted to see a real one. I like science. – Claire let out a laugh, it wasn't meant to be funny, she really liked science and dinosaurs, but seeing the apparently older girl laughing so careless was beautiful so she joined with a coy smile.

- What a waste though! So much to see and be curious about at your age, how old are you by the way? And all you think it's that you want to meet with dinosaurs?….

- I'm 16. I only spend my days here in school, and in my room. So I'm not really attached to anything.

- Wow that's bad…

- Not really, it's okay. – She had never minded it really, but seeing the look on Claire's face made her feel regretful of not enjoying life a little more. She felt jealous of the freedom she saw on Claire's eyes.

- I should take you for a ride sometime, and then you'd have a more exciting hobby than dinosaurs. – Claire smiled softly. Impressive, even being so carefree and independent she could still express such warmth. – What you say? – Claire said laying her hand over Sherry's. Claire had done it as if it was a natural gesture, a natural closeness, but Sherry still blushed, she was probably not used to it. It was cute.

- Hm… Do you want some? – Sherry said pulling her hand back and offering her lunch to the other girl.

- Thanks. – Claire accepted politely. They ate in silence for a while.

- Claire?

- Hm?

- I'll have to ask my parents first.

Claire looked at the blond girl that was still blushing. She was more used to being friends with guys. It was simpler, a more honest friendship and less little things to worry about, but she was really looking forward to getting closer to this girl.
