It was a new day at the DWMA, and a new student was ready to take it head on. Sasha Jones, the newest meister at the academy, strode up the front steps, taking everything in with awe. Her parents had both been high-ranking meisters in their school years, and it was time for her to follow in their footsteps. She wandered down the hall to her classroom when she collided into somebody who seemed to come from out of nowhere and tumbled to the ground. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I didn't see you there! I was just walking and I wasn't paying atten-"
"Hey slow down, I can barely understand a word you're saying," said the person she had crashed into. Sasha looked up and saw it was a young man dressed in black with some of the weirdest hair she had ever seen. She was so focused on his hair, black with three white stripes on one side, that she didn't notice he had held out his hand to help her up. "Are you gonna sit on the floor all day or what?" he asked.
"Oh, right! Sorry." She took his hand and stood up, still talking. "….and I was just admiring the architecture and you're kinda cute."
"What did you say?" asked the boy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, that was really random!" she cried, now blushing furiously. "Um, I guess I better get going. Bye." Sasha ran off, leaving the boy standing in confusion. Eventually his friend Maka came strolling down the hall.
"Hey Kid, what's up?" she asked.
"Nothing Maka. I just ran into somebody… interesting."
"Interesting how?" she asked.
"I don't know…. Let's just get to class." Kid and Maka walked down the rest of the hall and entered their classroom. Their partners, Soul, Liz, and Patty, were already seated. They managed to sit down right before Professor Stein wheeled into the classroom. Per the norm, the wheels of his chair caught on something and he was sent crashing to the floor. A few students chuckled, but most didn't seeing as it was a practically daily occurrence.
"Good morning class. Today we have a new student joining us. Come on in dear." He waved in a young girl who Kid recognized as the person who ran into him earlier. She had dark brown hair held back by a headband, blood-red eyes, and wore blue jeans with a paint-splattered red shirt and a leather jacket. She actually looked like she might be a force to contend with judging by appearance alone. She stood by Professor Stein and smiled warmly at everyone. "Go ahead and introduce yourself." Stein said.
"Nice to meet you everybody," she said, "My name is Sasha Jones."
"Very nice. Why don't you go ahead and take that empty seat next to Maka," Stein said, pointing to said chair. Sasha nodded and took her seat. As Stein began to teach, Maka leaned over to Sasha.
"Hey, my name's Maka. It's nice to meet you," she said in a low voice.
"Nice to meet you too, Maka. So, are you a weapon or a meister?"
"I'm a meister. What about you?" Maka asked
"I'm a meister too, but I don't have a weapon partner."
"Don't worry about that; I'm sure you'll find one soon enough." After that the two of them got back to paying attention to the lesson.
After class Sasha pulled Maka aside. "Hey Maka, who is that?" she asked, pointing to Kid.
"That's Death the Kid, Lord Death's son."
Sasha's face practically paled. "Oh my gosh, I had no idea he was Lord Death's son. I am such a dork!"
Maka raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"I totally crashed into him in the hallway today. I was just so preoccupied with the architecture of the school and I wasn't looking where I was going. He probably thinks I'm a total idiot."
"I don't think so. I talked to him after you ran off; he just said you were interesting."
"You talked to him? Well, did it seem like a good interesting or a bad interesting?"
"I don't know. Kid's kind of hard to read. We're all getting together on Saturday to play basketball. Why don't you tag along so you can get to know him?" Sasha nodded and went to her next class. So far she had given an interesting impression to one person and made friends with another. Well, it could be worse.
