Ok so this is my first Noblesse fanfic. If no one has ever heard of it it's an amazing manhwa absolutely love the story and characters.
All characters belong to Son Jae Ho except Arianna
"Ye Ran High School, wow quite an interesting name don't you think Titan?" I asked my four year old German shepherd, staring up at the impressive looking school I readied myself to take my first few steps into my new life, and it seemed my dog wanted to come along for the ride. Noticing him walking next to me I stopped and stared down at him, smiling I told him, "Sorry my sweet love but I'm sure they don't allow animals on the school grounds, so it'll be better if you just wait at the gates."
Nudging him with my knee I guided him back to the school gates, leading him out I heard a slow whine come from him, "No boy you can't come in with me everything's fine I'll be out in a few hours." As if in complete understanding Titan sat his rump right on the ground next to the school gates smiling I patted him on his head and made my way back in.
Hefting my backpack over my new white jacket uniform I headed to the main building of the school but was soon stopped by three men in matching black uniforms, security guards I'm sure. Raising my brows I saw the silver haired man in the middle give me a quick once over most likely wondering why I wasn't in the typical girl's school uniform.
After a few days of being accepted into Ye Ran the school sent me the uniform I was to wear throughout my school days. Seeing that it consisted of a mini-skirt and knee high socks I decided I was going to wear my comfortable pair of hip hugger jeans and the school jacket, there was no way on earth or high heaven that I was ever going to wear such a uniform.
Bringing my attention back to the security guards I took in the appearance of the other two men, to the left of the silver haired man stood a man with ridiculously long hair put up into a high ponytail with piercing blue eyes. Then back to the right was a man with short black hair with a white streak down the front. They seemed like normal security guards for a fancy school like this but something about them just seemed…off. Mentally shaking myself of the feeling I tried not to concern myself of such thoughts I tried to convince myself that the odd feeling was due to being in a new place, new school, new home, hell an entire new country.
Putting a smile on my face I greeted the men, "Hello, by any chance do any of you three speak any English?" Giving me surprised looks the three men just nodded somewhat dumbly at me.
Smiling wider I nod in approval swinging my backpack to my front I open it to grab some paperwork checking to make sure I got the right ones I made my way to the man in the middle with papers held out.
"Hi, my name's Arianna Rivers and I'm the new transfer student from America."
The silver head took my papers and read them over, "Oh a new transfer student I heard you weren't supposed to be here till a few more weeks." Said the man with the ponytail, looking to him I gave a small shrug, "Yeah well I was getting tired of doing nothing at home."
Handing me back all my paperwork the silver haired man said, "Alright we'll take you to the principal's office, and is that your animal at the gates?"
Turning my head I spotted Titan at the gates, "Umm yeah I hope it's alright that he stays there he sort of just followed me out of the apartment this morning, I promise he won't be wondering around the campus he's really good at staying."
"It would be better to discuss that with the principle." Said the silver haired man.
Nodding my head I followed all three men, as to why it took all three of them to do a task such as this is beyond me. Walking through the hallways of the school building I admired how big Ye Ran really was I also quickly fell in love with how many windows the school had which gave me a beautiful view of the outside. Quickly getting tired of the silence and just looking around the hallways and the outside I asked the men, "So what are ya'lls names?"
Looking down at me the man with the white streak says with a smile, "My name's Tao nice to meet you Arianna." Reaching out my hand we both shake on our greeting, "Nice to meet you to but please call me Ari, I'm glad I ran into someone that speaks English or I would have been more than lost."
"You don't know Korean?" Asked the ponytailed man, looking to him I gave a sheepish smile, "Well I know it it's just that I'm not that good at speaking it yet even though I've been learning it for a year now, and you are?"
"Sorry my name's Takeo," Another shake of hands and more talking until I came to ask the silver haired man's name but it seemed that when I asked my question we arrived at the principal's office, knocking on the door we waited patiently for a few seconds, "Enter."
Opening the door the silver haired still nameless man led us into the office, "We've got a new transfer student."
Looking around the office I saw that it was very open and had two large white long couches in the center with a table in between them. Further into the room right in front of a large window sat a good sized desk sitting behind said desk I saw a relatively young handsome principal.
Wow, since when did principals start getting younger? I thought to myself, hearing the scribbling of pen against paper stop I refocus my attention.
"New transfer student?" He mumbled, without looking up he shifted through a few piles of paper until he pulled out a few pieces, after looking them over he finally looked up, upon seeing me he gave a small smile, "Ah, Ms. Rivers I wasn't expecting you till,"
"A few more weeks I know." I said with a smile of my own.
Breathing out a light laugh he dismissed the security guards, nodding their heads all three of them left but not without giving me a quick 'goodbye' smiling I waved my own goodbye. After the door was shut I turned back around to the principal, now known as Mr. Lee due to the name plaque on his desk that I saw, but then I saw the small scowl that was on his face, confused I asked, "What? What'd I do?"
Shaking his head as if to focus he stood up only to come to one of the couches to sit, "Please have a seat."
Walking further into the office I laid my backpack on the couch then sat myself down, "Your office is huge."
Hearing the principle laugh I finally focused my attention back on him for once taking in his full appearance, with shoulder-length blond hair and bright blue eyes the man is very good looking. Along with his kind and charming smile I could just tell the female population absolutely adored the man.
"Yes I suppose it is; now it says here that you weren't supposed to be here until a few more weeks care to tell me why you have decided to come to school earlier than expected." He said after re-reading over my paperwork, placing the paper down on the table Mr. Lee gave me a pointed look.
"Well to put it simply I was getting tired of being at home, so I decided to come to school odd I know I mean what sane eight-teen year old would want to come to school earlier than intended." I rambled nervously, in truth the main reason I decided to come to school was because I was tired of being left alone with my thoughts of the past, along with the constant reminder of what happened.
"Arianna," Mr. Lee started, taking a deep breath it looked as if he was preparing to say something and then it clicked I knew he knew, sighing I shook my head in slight disappointment.
"Please call me Ari, now tell me who told you was it Mr. Chris or was it the sheriff,"
"Ari please,"
"I'm sorry Mr. Lee but no, they had no right to tell you something so personal." I was outraged my old principle and the sheriff really had no right. I could care less if the man sitting before me was my new principle he has no reason to know something like this, none what-so-ever.
"Maybe your right I should just wait a few more weeks till I come to school." I said with a certain finality to my voice, picking up my bag I stood up ready to leave making my way to the office door I was suddenly stopped by a gentle hand around my upper arm, "Ari I apologize, please sit back down and lets discus this."
Sighing I reluctantly sat back down brushing my dark brown hair back I glared over at Mr. Lee when he sat in front of me, "Look Lee just tell me how much they told you, please."
Seeing him sigh deeply he started his explanation, "Yes your previous principle told me what happened, he told me everything including the injury that you still have yet to heal from."
At that I grasped onto my side exactly where said injury was, looking down I examined my clothed side, "They really had no right." I mumbled out.
"I understand but the reason he told me was for your protection."
"Protection? Please, I put that sorry basterd in jail, so what protection do I need?"
"Language young lady, as for the protection he wanted to make sure you came back to school when you were fully healed and seeing as how it's only been a few weeks since the incident I am more than sure that your injury isn't close to being healed. So I recommend that you stay home for at least another week till your injury heals a little more, I am not too comfortable with having a student with such a severe injury, besides what would your father think of you coming to school so early?"
Pursing my lips at his explanation I just sat in his chair and huffed in agitation, for a few brief moments I sat in silence lost in thought over what I was going to do. Finally shaking my head I looked back up to Mr. Lee with a pleading look in my eyes I knew I couldn't just sit at home with my thoughts anymore, "My dad said as long as I feel up to it I can come to school, honest to god his words. Look can't I just come to school already I honestly can't stand being at home alone anymore I need to get out and do something. I've already explored my new neighborhood and all the shops I just need something else to focus my mind on, hell if it'll make you feel better I can even go to the nurse's office everyday if you'd like but please just permit me to come to school."
At my small cuss the principle gave me a warning look to which I just gave a smile, for another few moments he just sat and thought I was really hoping he would agree then finally he sighed, "Will I have a problem with you and this cussing habit of yours?"
"Possibly." I said simply.
Sighing again he gave me a small glare, "Alright I will permit it but on the condition that you go to the nurse as you said and I will also tell your P.E teacher that you will be sitting out of any and all physical activities until I deem it otherwise, instead you will be helping with anything your teacher needs is that acceptable?"
Smiling widely I nod my head with enthusiasm, "Yes that's just fine Mr. Lee thank you so much," I abruptly stopped talking when he raised a hand for silence.
"Your welcome but just to let you know I am not entirely too comfortable with this situation Ari I am actually going to want you to report to the nurses office every morning before school and every afternoon after is that clear, other than that welcome to Ye Ran High School." He said while holding out his hand smiling once again I gladly took his hand in a firm shake.
Standing from his seat Mr. Lee made his way back to his desk to once again rummage through his piles of paper work while he was at that he also pressed a button on his desk phone with a sudden buzz voice rang through, "Yes."
"I need for you to come to my office please." Mr. Lee said to the person.
After that the phone clicked dead, finished with his rummaging he finally pulled a paper free from the slight chaos of his desk striding back over to me he handed me the paper looking over it I noticed that it was my schedule, "I am going to have Takeo show you to your class and then around the school just so you can be acquainted with it after that your more than welcome to head on home."
At that my face fell I didn't want to go home I wanted to start my class already I was about to voice my issues but there was a sudden knock and opening of the door interrupting me, turning I saw one of the security guards from before, Takeo.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Ah yes Takeo would you please escort Ms. Rivers around the school grounds and then introduce her to her new class,"
"I thought you said I could start class today Mr. Lee." I said with narrowed eyes and an irritated tone.
"I think it would be better if you'd start class tomorrow morning besides you can't go to class in your current state of dress, I do believe there is a dress code at the school." He said giving me a pointed look at my clothes.
Looking down at myself I just shrugged, "Yea that also might be a problem I don't exactly do the whole skirt thing I'm used to just jeans and a T-shirt I'm not used to this uniform style thing you've got going on here."
"I'm sorry Ari but you need to wear the uniform provided to you." Mr. Lee calmly stated, scrunching my face in annoyance I told him, "Well wearing a skirt just isn't something I'm comfortable with considering what has happened." At that the look on Lee's face softened into one of understanding but it also gave me a curious glance from Takeo.
"Alright you can wear the jeans but you must have the jacket alright."
Smiling widely I nodded in agreement, "Thank you Mr. Lee I truly appreciate that."
With those last words I turned around to pick up my bag and headed out the door with Takeo but before we could get to far from the door Mr. Lee called out, "Oh and Ari,"
Turning back into the office I gave my new principle a glance, "Yes?"
"No more bringing your dog to school please." With that I gave him a small nod of the head and a smile. Closing the door with a click I gestured to Takeo, "Lead the way." Giving me a smile we were off.
Takeo took me around the entire school campus and I must admit it really was something, their courtyard was very impressive with a large track, with a few basketball hoops, and soccer field. Very impressive not even my old school had something this nice.
After showing me the ups and downs of the school Takeo took me to my new class but before he could knock on the door it suddenly opened lightly jabbing me in the side. I nearly went to the ground in pain, "Oh shoot I'm sorry." I heard a young man's voice yell out in panic, groaning I clutched my side mumbling out obscenities, "No, no it's fine."
Bending over I reached for the wall for some support, until a gentle hand grasped me by the arm steadying me. "Ari, are you alright?" The voice of Takeo said gently.
"Yeah, fine, I got into an accident a few weeks ago so my side is bruised pretty badly, nothing too serious though. But on a side note please done tell Mr. Lee about this." It wasn't a complete lie there was some bruising around my injury.
Giving me a skeptical look Takeo looked uncertain, so I just gave him a reassuring smile hoping to put him at ease, "Honestly I'm fine."
Catching my breath I tightly clutch my side for a second, pulling my hand away I inspected it for blood thankfully seeing there was none. Looking back up I finally saw the guy that hit me with the door, a shock of red hair and bright blue eyes along with a band aid across his nose he was a good looking fellow.
Taking a closer look at him he actually looked a little familiar, then I though back to early this morning, I was just coming out of my apartment when a flash of red ran by me. Thinking about it now that flash of red was wearing the Ye Ran school uniform, talk about small town which this place obviously wasn't.
But at the moment I didn't like him he hit me with a freakin' door, albeit on accident but still that hurt like no tomorrow.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you there." The red head said, but I paid him no mind I waved his apology off I mean it was an accident after all.
"Shinwoo you should be more careful." Takeo said before walking into the class which left me out in the hall with Shinwoo. Seeing as how he was just standing there staring at me I decided to introduce myself, "Hi my names Ari." I said in Korean.
Blushing Shinwoo stammered out his name, I couldn't help it the boy was too cute so I gave a light laugh, rubbing his head in embarrassment he gave me a curious look. "Are you a new student or something? I've never seen you around before, actually did I run by you this morning?"
Guess he remembers, wait what was he saying again?
Crap now I actually have to speak in Korean, I mean I have already been learning the new language because my dad and I were going to be moving here sooner or later. You see my dad works for the KSA as security and as of last year he was offered a job at the main offices here in Korea but he wanted to wait until I was out of school before he moved us. But due to what has happened he decided to move me here while he took care of business back home.
"Um yeah I'm actually a transfer student from the States." Ok so my Korean wasn't all that bad, I guess I just chalked it up to something more than it was.
"Oh cool," And que awkward moment.
Thankfully Takeo and the teacher came back out, it looked as if my new teacher was a burly man, he looked as he was a freaking body builder or ex-military he also had a large 'X' shaped scar on his head. Smiling at him a reached out my hand, "Hi I'm Ari." Shaking hands the teacher introduced himself as Mr. Park.
"It's a pleasure Ari, Takeo says you will be attending my class starting tomorrow." Mr. Park said.
"Yeah, Takeo is just giving me the grand tour of the school." After a few more words with the teacher Takeo and for some odd reason Shinwoo lead me back out to the front of the school.
Coming up to the front gates the three of us ran onto the other two security guards, Tao and the still un-named guard. "Adjussi, Tao!" Shinwoo yelled out excitedly.
Adjussi? Isn't that a name used for an older guy?
"Shinwoo shouldn't you be in class?" Tao asked the boy, to that he just smiled sheepishly. Laughing I turned to the four men, "Takeo thank you for showing me around I appreciate at, it was nice meeting ya'll I'll see you tomorrow." I said waving to them.
"Uh, hey wait up a second." Stopping I turned to see Shinwoo running up to me, "Hey since you live in the same apartment building as me would you want to walk to school with me, well just so I could show you around." He asked blushing while rubbing the back of his head once again.
I was a little hesitant with my answer because I wasn't too keen on walking alone with a guy so soon but his next words reassured me, "And it won't be just me a few of my other friends will be walking with us to."
Smiling at that I nodded my head, "Yeah sure that would be great, I'll meet you all downstairs." With that said I turned back around and headed to the front gates once close enough Titan ran to me with an excited bark. Laughing I pat him on the head, "Come on boy let's head home, and see if we can get dad on the phone."
Ok so this is my first Noblesse story so hope ya'll like it
