DISCLAIMER: No. I still don't own FMA. I Never will. sighs

ONWARD!


First day of school. The alarm clock screamed at her to get up from across the room. Yawning she threw her pillow at it and lazily pulled the covers over her head. There was no way it could be the first day of school already. Summer had flown by. The door suddenly flung open and she felt someone sit on her legs. "Get up, Retard!" came the despisingly familiar voice.
"Get off me, Michael!" struggling furiously she managed to shove her brother away. "I'm up jeeze."

"Good." He smirked, "My job here is done."

"Get out."
"Whoa little sister's got a temper this morning."
"Get. Out."
"Alright I'm going."

Shutting the door behind him she lazily threw on a light blue T-shirt and a pair of old jeans. It was only the first day of grade 11. How spiffy do you need to look? She quickly brushed her straight dark brown hair. Grabbing her books she stuffed them into her new backpack. Quickly snatching her I-Pod from her bedside table she scurried down the stairs into the kitchen. "Morning, mom."
"Morning, Crystal! Don't forget to eat before you go."
She was handed a piece of toast, which she ate quickly, followed by a glass of milk. She was out the door and on her way to the bus stop. She glanced at her watch. 8:26 AM. Two minutes to get to her stop before the bus came. Crystal started to run.

Hopping on the bus she was gestured towards the back of the bus by a wave of her friend's hand. Crystal sat down and propped her backpack on her knees. "Hey, Kai!"
"I told you not to call me that."
"Too bad."
"Says you. Crysie." Her friend mocked.
"I told you not to call me that."
"Too bad."
"Even?"

"Sure."
Both girls laughed. Most of the bus ride was silent. Kailee stared out the window while Crystal looked around the bus for new faces. About three seats away sat a some-what short boy. He had blonde hair and was wearing pretty much all black. Crystal nudged her companion who tore her eyes away from the "sites" out the window. "Who's that?" she asked gesturing to the blonde she had spotted.

"Names Edward, I think," came the response.

"You met him?"
"He's at my bus stop," she replied dully looking back out the window.

"Informative. Do you know what grade he's in?"
"Ours."
"You're talkative today"
"It's morning. Of course I am."

Crystal rolled her eyes and looked back at the blonde. 'I wish he'd turn around. I can't even see his face.' The bus suddenly slowed down and came to a stop. Looking out the window she noticed they were at school already. She pulled her backpack over her shoulders and got up. As soon as she stepped off the bus she caught up to him. "Hey! Wait up!"
He stopped and turned around. Gold eyes looked back at her. His blonde hair was tied back into a loose braid. He was shorter than her but not by much. She came up beside him and held out a hand. "My name's Crystal. You're Edward right?"
"I am," he wore light gloves. Glove met bare in a tender shake.

She blushed slightly and pulled her hand away from his. It seemed odd that he wore long sleeves and gloves on such a warm day.


So. That was chapter one of Crystal Clear. Please R&R!
(This is usually the part where I'm mean to Ed but I'm far too lazy to think of anything right now. Lol.)
