The city of Corneria was a wonderful place. The metropolis was surrounded by nature, there were parks everywhere and trees at the end of every corner of the street. The buildings were a pleasantly plain and boring white and can reach up to 600 feet in height. Though the city is 5th in Obesity and 3rd in Prostitution in Lylat and there's this weird guy by every C-Mart asking for cheeseburgers in exchange for oral sex, the city is still as stunning as your mom. While this all really cool and all, the real heart of this city belonged to a teenage fox who resided in a humble abode with his parents in a little neighborhood (what a loser, am I right?).

Fox McCloud was awaken by the ringing of his digital alarm clock. He opened his eyes just a smidge as he raised his head to look at his clock.

"Oh no." Fox whispered in a horrified voice. He dug his face into his pillow. "No no no no no no." His voice being muffled by the pillow. Today was the day all teenagers across the galaxy loathed internally and externally. Today was the first day of the school year. The first day of his Junior year of High School. After getting dressed and mentally preparing himself, Fox stumbled his way downstairs to the kitchen. As Fox walked into the kitchen both of his parents looked up to greet him.

Fox's dad, James McCloud, looked pretty much exactly like him. Same orange fur with a strip of vanilla fur between his ears starting from his forehead to the back of his head. The only noticeable difference was the fact that James always wore the same pair sunglasses everywhere. There are a bunch of rumors why the famous war hero wears his shades all the time, one of them being that they stop him from shooting lasers out of his eyes, but really he wears them because they make him look like a stud.

Vixy Reinard, Fox's mom, was a vixen with the same shade of orange and the origin of Fox's green eyes. Vixy was pretty much like any other mother, and wasn't weird enough to do anything stupid like wear sunglasses 24/7.

"How did you sleep?" asked Vixy after taking a sip from her coffee.

"Eh." Fox muttered.

"That sounds great son." James answered as he perused his newspaper, like every stereotypical dad. Fox did everything that every normal kid would do before school. Ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, combed his fur, got dressed, sulked miserably. Eventually he found himself in his car on his way to pick up some of his friends. Soon he parked into the driveway of one of his friends. Fox quickly looked at his car's digital clock and then started to honk his car's horn.

A blue avian emerged from the house with a vexed look and a sluggish walk. Fox peeked his head out from the car.

"C'mon sunshine, we don't have all day." Fox said with a smirk. Falco Lombardi was not a morning person. Falco was one of those people who had a snarky thing to say about everything, which those kinds of people don't mix well with mornings. Fox and Falco met back in freshman year of High School, they got along quite well except for when they don't. They could get quite competitive at times and Fox just loved getting under the falcon's skin. They banter at each other quite a lot, like most teenage friendships.

"Please tell me we're stopping for breakfast." Falco said groggily as Fox drove to pick up their next comrade.

"Here, I got you this poptart." replied Fox as he tossed over the pastry to his friend.

"This thing's half eaten." Falco replied with squinted eyes, still half asleep.

"Hey look at it as half not eaten." Fox replied. Falco gave him a look that said 'If I wasn't half asleep i'd smack the hell out of you'.

"You're a total jackass sometimes, ya know?"

"Love you too."

Fox parked in front of another house not to far away from Falco's. "Who are we picking up now?" asked Falco, but it only took him one glance towards the house to realize who it was. "Oh god no." exclaimed Falco in utter horror.

"HEY GUYS WHAT'S UP!?" yelled Slippy Toad as we bounced over towards the car. Slippy Toad was a green frog who wore the same red baseball cap everywhere he went, and due to his short height no teachers noticed him breaking dress code in the hallways. Not to mention the guy was a genius and got straight A's in every class, the only problem was his personality is a bit… eccentric. Fox didn't mind the little guy, mostly because he thought all his friends were a little weird in their own way, but Falco often got annoyed by the frog.

"Kill me." Falco said under his breath as Slippy got in the car.

"I got some sick new jams we can listen to on the ride to school." Slippy said as he pulled out his phone to play his 'jams'. Falco groaned in agony.

"It better not be that stupid Nightcore crap!" Falco hissed.

"No, it's even better." Slippy grinned as he played "Womanizer" by Britney Spears on full blast. Falco looked like he just saw a demon and Fox tried really hard to contain his laughter.

"Are you freaking kidding me! I don't wanna get caught listening to that!" Falco yelled over the music. He quickly grabbed Slippy's phone, lowered the car window and threw it out with the music still playing.

"HEY! I GOT 4G'S ON THERE!" Slippy cried out as the car kept speeding down the street, far away from "Womanizer".

"Your phone was infected with terrible musical taste, I did you a favor."

"YEAH, WELL MAYBE I'LL DO A FAVOR TO YOUR MOM!"

Fox just shook his head as his friends continued to bicker. 'It's gonna be a long year.' he thought to himself.

Fox found his usual parking space amongst the student parking lot to the side of the school. As they exited the parking lot and walked onto campus they saw two more of their friend circle. Bill Grey is gray bulldog who happens to be Fox's oldest friend. They've known each other since elementary school and had a close bond, but ever since Bill slipped into… um, illegal recreational activities that Fox didn't agree with they stopped hanging out as much but still remained friends. The pink furred feline standing next to Bill was Katt Monroe. Fox knew her about as long as he knew Falco, she was a tough tomboy who could also be a bit of a flirt. Fox always thought her and Falco had some type of thing, but they never officially had any type of relationship. He always thought it was just because Falco was dense.

"Have you guys got your schedules yet?" asked Katt as they finally caught up to each other.

"No, we're supposed to get them during home room." Falco answered.

"I've got them right here." Bill suddenly proclaimed as he handed out everybody's schedules like a drug dealer giving out cocaine.

"How did you-" Fox didn't bother to finish because he knew Bill had a knack for somehow getting things he shouldn't. They were all surprised when they found out they had the same English in 1st period. Though they didn't share a lot more classes together, especially Slippy since he had advanced classes. The bell rang and everybody moped off to their home room. The usual home room stuff went down, just a bunch of paperwork passed out. Though Fox's home room teacher was a little confused when she couldn't find Fox's schedule and Fox had to play it off.

The worst part of home room for Fox, was rich, snobby, bitchy, Jan Martell. Jan was the stereotypical 'popular' rich girl that everybody with a brain loathed. Anybody who she hated would definitely get the short end of the stick, and to make it all worse, Jan Martell had a big crush on Fox and he knew it. Fox really didn't feel like getting on her bad side so usually instead of rejecting her he just flat out Metal Gears and tries to hide and avoid her. Fox tried very hard to avoid all eye contact while the brown vixen stared at him across the room slobbering on a lollipop. 'Falco would be laughing his ass off at this sight' Fox thought to himself.

Eventually the bell rang and Fox scurried off to first period where all his friends and safety were. Fox reached the classroom in record time, and took a scan of the classroom. He spotted a couple people he knew that he didn't see yet. He saw Miyu Lynx and Fay Spaniel chatting in the corner of the classroom. Miyu and Fay were… pretty much polar opposites, but somehow were best friends. Miyu was a lynx with a ear ring and pretty much wore nothing but dark colors, matching her 'dark' personality. Miyu is very dry and emotionless and has a dark sense of humor, if you could call it that. Fay is usually very talkative, flighty, and wears a lot of pink. Miyu gave Fox a small wave, and Fox just smiled back while Fay talked about her new headphones that, in her own words, were super awesomely dope as all get out like omg.

That class started to pile in with some familiar faces. Falco came in looking half asleep again after the adrenaline rush that was the internal loathing of Slippy wore off. Bill looked like he just skipped home room and smoked something fierce in the bathroom. Then Fox saw the pretty vixen he thought about on and off again during the summer. Fara Phoenix was a new student that came in towards the end of last semester and caught the eye of Fox. He's had a few interactions with her, but they never got a chance to hit it off before summer break. Fox was hoping to get to know her more and this was a perfect chance.

Unfortunately she sat all the way in the front opposed to Fox being in the back of the class with Falco on his right and Katt to Falco's right.

"Alright class, I'm Mrs. Haffer" said the Poodle who happened to be their teacher. She also had a pretty large baby bump due to her nearing the end of her pregnancy. "I'm just gonna hand out a syllabus and maybe we can get to some vocab." Fox saw Flaco sink into his chair and moan out of the corner of his eye.

"Don't die on me already, she hasn't even been talking for 20 seconds." Fox whispered to Falco. Falco just looked dead inside. He looked to the other side of the class and he saw Bill with a similar look but from a totally different cause. Fox shook his head 'when am I gonna meet somebody not as weird as these idiots that I can get along with'. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a blue furred vixen walked in.

"May I help you young lady?" asked Mrs. Haffer.

"Yeah, um sorry, I'm kind of new here and got lost."

"That's okay, what's your name miss?"

"Krystal."

Author's Note's

Well, there's the first chapter of this. This is my first story I've ever written, like ever. So some constructive criticism on what to improve in terms of writing would be nice. I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to write in this AN section but I guess I forgot, oops.
