Author note: Ok guys I finally found something to write about. Our girls are going to military school. Hehehe. There are going to be OCs in this story it seems like there are a lot but to make this story work it's the minimum I could put in. Obviously the girls will be addressing each other by their last names. Also for those who read my last story we have Tysha and Nadia returning even though they wont be the main characters this time.
Lastly I know that not everyone knows how a Platoon is formed so I wrote out a verbal diagram for you guys. This isn't accurate to military standards but its close enough for the story.
A Platoon(24 people) has 3 squads. A squad (8 people) has 2 teams. A team has 4 people.
So there will be 24 characters in our Platoon. Relate the 3 squads to Miator, Spica, and Lullium and it wont be confusing.
Chikaru looked at her watch as she stood outside on the rectangular overview deck of Tokyo international airport. Only an hour left before she would have to leave her country to go who knows where. The weather matched her mood as she looked around the deck and saw her friends and some new faces waiting just as she was. There was a dark overcast and a steady flow of light rain and wind that would occasionally blow onto the open deck between the floor and the ceiling.
"Damn." Chikaru heard a girl say as a gust of wind blew cold rain onto her as she was sitting to close to the edge of the deck. The girl looked at her laughing friend with a frown. "Shut up Nadi."
Chikaru smiled at the scene before continuing to scan the people on the deck. Chikaru wondered what it'll be like to spend six months in military school with these people. A frown spread across Chikaru's face at the though of military school and how she feels like she is the only one going there who shouldn't really be going there.
On the other side of the overview deck stood Kaname and Momomi looking very upset.
"It's been three days since we got the news and I still can't believe it." Momomi stated with anger. "It's all Shizuma and Nagisa's fault. No I blame Shizuma the most. If she hadn't of barged into the cathedral like that none of this would have happened Kaname."
"I agree. But I feel like this is no big deal. I mean what's six months in a military school anyway. It's not like the real army." Kaname felt annoyed at the sudden military school idea by the sister's and how all their parent's agreed to such a stupid idea but it was nothing Kaname felt she couldn't handle. "Besides we'll be together."
Momomi sighed before she began to speak. "Kaname they put us in the highest ranked Military school in the world. This is going to be a lot harder than you want to believe."
Kaname pulled Momomi into a hug. As they both sat silently both wondering how hard it will really be.
Shizuma watched Kaname and Momomi embrace and looked over towards Nagisa. Nagisa had been devastated by the news of going to a military school and no matter what Shizuma would tell Nagisa the girl would not relax. Nagisa sat on a bench on the overview deck as a small gust of wind sent her shivering. Shizuma would comfort Nagisa if she didn't feel so guilty about what was happening. Shizuma always did what she wanted and got away with it and would have never dreamed that all she had done would come around and bite her in the ass like it had just done. Miyuki walked over to Shizuma and stood next to her as she folded her arms.
"Hi Miyuki." Shizuma mumbled. Miyuki had barely even spoken to her since they all got the news. Standing next to Shizuma was the most Miyuki has done since then.
"I feel like ignoring you for the next six months wont do either of us any good so I've decided to talk to you again." Miyuki stated. "Besides I think going to this school without my best friend would be a bad idea."
"Well that's you Miyuki." Miyuki and Shizuma turned around to see an angry Shion speaking. "Shizuma you stay the hell out of my way when we get there. I don't even want to see your face."
Shizuma felt bad but wasn't about to let Shion have the satisfaction of thinking she put her in her place. "You can just avoid me Shion because I'm not going to make the effort for you."
Tamao walked over to Nagisa's bench and sat down next to her tuning into the argument between the two upper classmen.
"How are you feeling Nagisa?" Tamao asked with the best smile she could conjure up at that moment.
"I'm scared and very upset. I know Shizuma didn't mean for things to happen the way they did when she came into the cathedral and busted in on the Etoile election and I'll admit that it was what I wanted but right now I just want space from Shizuma and I think she knows it." Nagisa looked towards the ground as she spoke. "The whole thing makes me sad. Military school isn't for me."
There was nothing Tamao could do except sit next to her friend in silence and fight the urge to wrap her arms around her and tell her everything will be ok. No she couldn't do that. Not after the Etoile election.
Miyuki had walked away from the argument that she was almost in the middle of and went to stand on the opposite side of the overview deck. Just as she was about to be consumed in deep thought two buys around the same age as Miyuki came up to her.
"Hello there." One of the guys greeted Miyuki with a smile. He looked Hispanic and had black hair that was slicked back and a perfect tan. His eyes were hazel and if Miyuki didn't play for the other team she could see herself with this guy. The other boy was really pale as if he lived in the northern continents but he had jet black hair that was a major contrast to his skin and he was skinnier than his toned tan friend.
"What's up?" The pale boy asked as he lit a cigarette he pulled from his jacket pocket. "You want one."
"No thank you." Miyuki replied. "That's gross and it'll eventually kill you."
"We all are gonna die one day why not live life the way you want to. Wouldn't it suck if I lived to be sixty years old and died of lung cancer and you died when you were twenty five from a car accident you didn't cause?" The pale boy asked as he inhaled smoke through the cigarette filter.
Miyuki was shocked and didn't know how to respond. What a rude person.
"Geez man what's wrong with you. This is why you'll never get laid." The tan boy laughed as he slapped the back of his friends shoulder with an open hand. "You'll have to excuse him. He is a little special. You can call me Rodriguez. I lived in Japan almost my whole life. I guess you can call me a military brat from the U.S. and this here is Baker. He is from the Netherlands and his parent's decided to move here when he was six for a new job opportunity."
"Thanks for the grand introduction." Baker replied as he rolled his eyes.
"It's nice to meet you both." Miyuki lied as dread started to fall onto her. "You both don't seem to upset about going to military school."
"My dad is in the army I think I can handle six months in a military school after spending my whole life with him. This is going to be a vacation for me." Rodriguez said as he looked at Baker.
"I don't really care. I'll just get through it." Was all Baker said as he tossed his cigarette over the overview deck.
"You are so enthusiastic." A Spanish looking girl said as she approached the three. She was very beautiful but slightly intimidating. Next to her was another girl who looked half Hispanic and half Asian who was also very pretty but not as intimidating.
"Whatever." Baker frowned. "We know you two are."
"Really?" Miyuki asked. "You're excited about going to Military school?"
"Yup. Salazar and myself are going into the Military after this. My name is Rios by the way. Obviously that's our last names. Might as well get accustomed to that seeing as how that is what you are going to have to call us anyway." Rios looked over to her friend who was looking rather sleepy. "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Yea but not enough." Salazar rubbed her eyes. "So what's your name?" Salazar asked Miyuki through a yawn.
"My name is Miy-." Miyuki stopped herself and continued. "My name is Rokujo. I'm here because I was forced to be just like the rest of the girls you see on this deck. We go to a private school and we got into trouble so this is our punishment."
There was a long pause as the four from outside Astrea Hill stood and processed the information. The silence was broke when Salazar burst out into laughter on the brink of tears.
"What?" Rios said over a laughing Salazar. "Oh man this is going to be horrible for you."
Miyuki was a little angry at the ridicule that was being placed upon her. "What you think I wont be able to handle myself?"
"No." Salazar said between laughing fits.
"Salazar be easy." Rodriguez said as he saw the anger rising in Miyuki.
"You sure you don't want a cigarette?" Baker asked.
"NO!" Miyuki said as she stormed away from the four.
"Geez that is the last time I decide to be friendly." Baker said with a nonchalant face. "Oh well."
"Man the three of you ruined my swagg." Rodriguez said.
"You're what?" Baker asked.
"His swagg, you know like game, he was trying to pick up the lesbian." Rios interjected.
"What?!? She is not a lesbian. How the hell would you know that anyway?" Rodriguez said.
"Gaydar." Salazar explained. "Enough said."
Rodriguez sighed and looked over at the other girls "You don't think they all are do you?" Rodriguez looked at Rios.
Rios just sighed and turned to the sliding doors as a man in a suite opened them.
"Ok everybody your plane is here." The man said as he turned back into the airport.
"Alright." Rios said as she heard several sighs coming from the private school girls. "Hey Nadi."
"What?"
"This might be hard for us if we have to work with them you know? Like they might bring us down. I mean I can just see it now. 'I broke a nail.' Or 'Eewww mudd.' I mean come on."
"We'll cross those bridges when we get to them." Salazar reasoned. "Besides we like to look good and we still can get down and dirty. Why do you think they can't?"
Rios shrugged her shoulders and walked back into the airport along with everyone else.
So yup let me know what you guys think. Please review and if this strikes some kind of spark in your brains that makes you wonder "What if that happened." Please let me know what it is. Thanks!!!
