Another new FMA story. A lot of FMA stories have been popping up in my head lately. Then I just have to write them or they'll bother me forever.
Automail and Alchemy are none existant in this story...sorry. This story is supposed to take place in more today's time period. Therefore none of that exist...even though I totally wish it did. All of my characters seem kind of OOC to me...I hope they aren't too much. But the characters in this story are the way they are in Brotherhood (cause I'm completely obsessed with Brotherhood). Therefore there is Mei, and Rose pale with red bangs. I'm thinking that our older adult characters, (Mustang, Hawkeye, Havoc, ect.) are going to be Seniors... I haven't really gotten to that. But sure don't want them being teachers. THEY'D CORRUPT THESE POOR KIDS! But anyway... I'll just see where this story takes me. :D
(My other story Energy Alchemist will be updated soon. Sorry it's taking so long!)
Winry Rockbell: Junior. A+ Student, blonde hair, creamy skin, beautiful smile, gorgeous sky blue eyes. All the boys loved her, but there was no way in hell Winry was interested in those perverts. She wished, someday, that the right guy would come along. This will probably happen after she graduates; there was certainly no boy in her school she'd fall for anytime soon. She was starting to think the best thing to do would be to give up on her nonexistent love life. Whatever, someday, that knight in shining armor would show.
"Winry!" A voice called from behind her.
Winry turned from her locker to see Mei Chang standing behind her, "Oh Mei, I didn't even notice you."
"I figured, sense you were staring aimlessly into your locker." Mei retorted.
Mei was two years younger than Winry, but they were still best friends, no matter what their age. They had met when they were younger, when Mei's family transferred to Central. Winry was only in Central for school, right after she and her grandmother planned to move back to Resembool. Her grandmother was a mechanic, such as cars and everything. Winry had the same interest, so she'd just go work for her grandmother and eventually take over.
"Winry…hello?"
"Huh?" Winry turned to Mei once again.
"You were doing it again. The locker thing."
"Oh! I'm sorry! I've…just been thinking lately. I'm graduating next year, and you know…I'm looking for that guy that I'll never find. Mei, I'm sorry, but you know I'm going back to Resembool after I graduate, right?" Winry explained.
Mei gazed at the floor and shuffled her feet, "Yeah…I know."
Suddenly, a familiar face ran up behind Mei, hugging her from behind, "Why so downcast? Come on! Cheer up you two! It's Thursday, and there are new students going to be in our grade tomorrow! Both guys!"
"Rose… you mean you and Winry's grade! Not mine!" Mei growled back disconnecting herself from the red and black haired girl.
"Oh come on! One's a Sophomore! Only one year older than you. Who knows…" Rose began as she elbowed Mei, "He could be cute."
Mei's face flushed as she slapped Rose's arm away, "S-Shut up, Rose! If anyone should be interested it should be Winry! She's the one looking for a boyfriend, not me!"
Rose had a smirk plastered to her face as she turned to Winry, "Oh…that's right. One's in our grade, Winry, he could be that one you want."
Winry scoffed and crossed her arms, "As if, I doubt he'll be any less obnoxious as any other guy at this school. Same goes for his, I think, brother."
"You won't know until you meet him, Winry." Rose teased.
"Fine, if it'll make you feel better, I'll talk to him tomorrow, only to be nice. I'm not trying to hook up with him or anything, alright? For all we know he could be a total dork, and ugly as hell."
"Winry…aren't you the one who said not to judge by appearances?" Mei asked timidly.
Winry slammed her locker door shut, "Maybe so…but honestly, I want someone who is sweet, cute, smart, and…overall just a kind soul, you know? I don't mean to sound stuck up…but I just want his face to match the inside…do you get that?"
"I know what you're talking about Winry…but I just want the face, I could careless about his brain. That's only because of how much I've wanted a boyfriend lately." Rose mused.
"You're really shameless." Winry grumbled as she began to walk down the hallway and the other two followed.
"Is that really a bad thing?"
"I dunno…I think so."
Rose scoffed and pushed her lightly on the arm, "Yeah right, Rockbell. I can't wait to see this boy tomorrow. It'll be interesting."
"Whatever. Well this where I take my leave…" Winry said as they arrived at the end of the school gates. Winry went the opposite of Rose and Mei, therefore they had to separate. She waved goodbye to her friends and began to travel toward her home she and her grandmother were currently occupying.
"Rose…enough about the new guy, I'll find him when I find him." Winry murmured, unsure if she still wanted to do this.
"Winry, come on, you have to find him before classes start!" Rose insisted.
"If I do I do! If I don't I just don't! I'll find him sometime today alright?"
"But Winry, we want to see him too." Mei added.
"Oh no, Mei, not you too! Has Rose corrupted you…?" Winry asked.
"No, not really, I just want to see if he's your 'knight in shining armor' guy."
"You two are pretty damn nosey…"
Suddenly, the bell rang making an unsuspecting Mei jump.
Winry smirked and began to walk down a different hallway staring back at her friends, "Well this is where I go to class and avoid the boy now…"
"Winry-wait look out-!" Rose called.
"Huh-oof!" Winry suddenly had fallen to the floor, "Ow…" She groaned.
"Oh, are you alright?" A voice asked.
"Yeah, that was my fault for not looking, I'm sor-" She opened her eyes to see the boy across from her on the floor. He must've been thrown back from the impact as well, "ry…"
Winry gawked at him in awe, he was the most handsome boy she'd ever seen. His hair was golden-blonde, almost matching his bright golden eyes. She continued to stare, never had she seen such an eye-color. What Winry hadn't noticed, was that this new guy was staring at her, having similar thoughts. She was the most gorgeous thing he'd ever seen.
A pale blush brushed on his cheeks, "Oh no, it's alright," He reached to his side grabbing Winry's lost Calculus book she had dropped. He held it up to her, "Um, here's your book."
"O-Oh…thank you." Winry replied, taking the book from his hand.
The boy stood and held out his hand. She took it gratefully as he helped her up and released her hand, "I'm really sorry about that. You're new here, right? A blonde girl bumping you to the ground probably wasn't the best first impression, was it?" Winry said shyly.
He chuckled, "Actually, I'm surprised I didn't run into somebody sooner. I've been kind of nervous and unfocused…so…"
"Oh! Where are my manners, heh, I'm Winry Rockbell." She said holding her hand out to the new boy.
"Edward Elric." He replied taking her hand and shaking it before releasing it again.
"Edward…I've always liked that name…" Winry mused.
"Well, I think Winry's a really pretty name… but hey, if you want you can call me Ed, by the way."
Winry felt her cheeks heating up, "Well thank you, Ed. Unfortunately, I have to get to class now."
"Is…Is Calculus your first class?" Edward asked.
Winry nodded, "Yes, why?"
"Well…that's mine too…could you show me where it is?"
"Oh, of course! I'd love too!" Winry replied cheerily.
"Thank you…"
"Come on, we're going to be late!" She said as she began to run down the hallway with Edward in suit behind her.
Now that she'd met him…she regretted comparing him to the other boys at her school.
"Class, I'd like you to welcome Edward Elric to your Junior class." The teacher informed the students.
Edward felt extremely awkward standing in front of the class and everyone staring at him. He wasn't used to being center of the class or anything.
"Edward, it seems we have a free seat over by Miss Rockbell, would you like to sit there?"
Edward silently thanked the universe for the only free seat being by this Winry he had just met, "Oh, yes ma'am, there is fine."
"Good, that means I won't have to completely re-do the seating chart. I don't think Miss Rockbell bites."
"I dunno, I might." Winry teased as she snarled.
Edward smiled lightly as he made his way to the desk beside Winry, "You're not going to actually bite me, are you?" He asked as he sat down.
Winry tapped her chin, "Hmmm… I dunno, it depends on what you do. Like if you decide to cheat off me or something I might bite you."
"I'm a straight A student…so I don't think I'll be needing to cheat off you. But maybe I shouldn't have told you that…cause maybe now you'll try to cheat off me. Then I'd be forced to bite you." Edward retorted with a smirk.
"Well that won't be necessary, I'm a straight A student as well. Sorry to crush your hopes."
"Well damn…" He muttered as Winry could only giggle.
"Okay class, enough chattering. Time to begin." Their teacher announced.
Edward and Winry slowly turned away from each other and began listening. But nothing could stop them from the hidden glances that continued throughout the class period…
High-School Ed/Win love action? Why of course! I know a lot of people do the 'FMA in High-School' thing. But the scene when Ed and Winry ran into each other popped in my head. At first I thought 'maybe adults on the street?' then I thought of the High-School thing and thought it was way better. I can't wait to see where I take this story. Thank you! :D
