Jealous Much?
Chapter One: The New Kids
"Hey, Hey, You, You,
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way, No way,
I think you need a new one!
Hey, Hey, You, You,
I could be your girlfriend!
Hey, Hey, You, You,
I know that you like me!
No way, No way,
You know it's not a secret!
Hey, Hey, You, You,
I want to be your girlfriend!"
Central high was a normal school, filled with the normal cliques and groups that every high-school seemed to have. Discounting the fights that broke out here and there once and a while, -and strange teachers that really shouldn't be teachers in the first place - nothing else interesting happened.
Overall, it was a pretty boring school to go to day in and out.
With a bored sigh, Edward turned his attention from the student teacher, who was blabbing on about how much his daughter was growing. He growled inwardly; what the hell made him sign up for photography?! Everyone knew about the intern photography teacher's unhealthy way of shoving pictures of his daughter in everyone faces when he got the chance; it was nothing new, but it was never anything but annoying.
Edward's prayers were answered as the bell rang, signaling that fourth period class was over. Frowning, Mr. Hughes groaned in disappointment, "But I haven't gotten to her winter pictures!" He sighed, and watched as his students quickly packed up. "Don't forget your cameras tomorrow! We'll be going outside now since it's spring."
The golden-haired boy was sure to not be the last one out of the classroom, and made his way to a classroom four doors down as he left the photography room. Being a sophomore, Edward had almost memorized the entire school map. Central High was at least five times bigger than his middle school, Resembool Jr. High. However, Remebool was a very small town, holding around one-hundred-fifty students per grade.
With the constant hustle and bustle of students pushing and shoving him, - purposely or not, they were never around long enough for him to tell. - he finally managed to make it to his destination: Winry's math class. She was just exiting as he walked up to her. "Hey, Win."
"Edward!" She gasped, then grinned at him and closed the distance between them. After placing a quick kiss on his cheek, they began walking to the cafeteria, hand in hand. "I'm surprised you actually waited for me this time!" Suddenly, she frowned. "You didn't get in trouble, again, did you?!"
"No-"
"You broke your automail again, didn't you! That's why you came to get me, isn't it?! Edward, why can't you be more res-" She was cut of by Edward's soft lips on her own. Both blushing, they pulled away after someone shot a whistle in their direction.
Embarrassed, Ed scratched the back of his head. "Uh...Let's just go to lunch..." With a nod from his girlfriend, they continued on their way to the cafeteria.
--
"Edward, Winry, over here!" A bubbly girl called, standing up to wave them over.
"Hi, Rose!" The blond girl said as they took a seat at the round lunch table. Despite being in a school, their cafeteria held more of a...well, 'cafe' look, and was very popular whenever the students had breaks. Winry smiled at everyone else before turning her attention back to the brown and pink haired girl.
As the teenage girls gossiped, Edward was busy trying to kill his 'lunch'; not that it was alive or anything to begin with. With such a normal school, they did have quite the...variety of...food. Sometimes, the selections would be edible; others would poison even the toughest rats.
"Fullmetal," a cocky voice called, and Edward looked up at one of his closest friends: Roy Mustang.
"Super Senior," Edward mumbled back with an affirmative nod. "Haven't seen you around, where've you been?"
The Super Senior frowned, annoyed, and slumped in his seat. "They've been keeping me in ISS until I do my work. I don't see why; I won't be here next year!"
With a smirk, Ed replied, "That's what you said last year, yet here you are, sitting with a bunch of sophomores and juniors." Last year, Roy had said the exact same thing; he was never one to do any of his school - or home - work. If he kept this up, he would be a Super Super Senior; the first in a very long time.
Glaring, Roy pushed the subject away with a comment about Edward's hight, making the boy jump out of his seat in a rant. "Anyway, to the point. Have you heard the new kids?"
Ed's shoulders slumped and he sat back down in his black and red plastic chair. "No, why?"
"Really? They've been the talk since this morning," another Senior - Jean Havoc - mumbled. "Supposedly, they're cousins. There's three of them, - that we know of - and they go by the names of two of the seven deadly sins."
"Two go to this school," Riza - a junior who was at the top of her class - cut in. "And the youngest goes to your brother's, Edward." Although she was heavily tasked on perfectly skinning her apple, she had overheard them talking and decided to add information.
"Come to think of it, I think I've seen one of them," Rose put in, putting a slim finger to her chin in thought. "Greed, I think he was. Tall guy, with a fuzzy collared jacket and circled glasses, if I remember correctly," she gave a small shrug, pink bangs bounced with the movement of her shoulders. With a giggle, she explained, "I don't know about you guys, but I think he was pretty cute."
"Yeah, that's Greed alright," Roy mumbled, taking a bite -or attempting to- out of a hard bread-stick(1). However, he couldn't bite though it, and placed it down with a pale face. 'Ugh...Can't they get fresher food?!' he thought, checking to see if he still had his teeth.
"That leaves the following: Envy and Wrath," Riza muttered, placing her apple on a napkin. With steady hands, she began to cut the apple into neat pieces. "However, I believe that Wrath is the youngest, which means he goes to school with Alphonse."
"So...I don't get it; what's so bad about these people?" Edward mumbled, folding his arms over his chest. He had heard enough of his friend's babbling. He only wanted to know who they were, not information he already picked up on. "I mean, if they caught your attentions, then they have to be something."
"Jeez, Ed, you're so slow," Winry mumbled with a sigh; her boyfriend was so clueless at times. "Apparently, they got kicked out of their old school for creating chaos."
"...And they let them into our school, why?"
"Because their parents are friends with the new Principal, or something like that," Roy explained with a smirk. "Which means, things are going to get interesting." As if they had perfect timing, the new students walked through the door - or, rather, the one in front kicked it open.
Already half-knowing who Greed was, Edward took the time to study Envy. The teenager was clad in a tight, black, leather top that stopped a good inch or so before the belly, showing off their navel. They also had tight, black leather pants that were so low they didn't leave much room for the imagination; not to mention the fact that the teen was 'selling crack' (2), as Roy would joke .
To go along with the weird, revealing outfit, Envy had long green hair - which he guessed was dyed regularly to keep it that color - and ended at his lower back. The androgynous teen also had on heavy black eyeshadow, along with mascara, making it even harder for Ed to figure out the gender of this mysterious person.
Greed, on the other hand, dressed more normally than Envy. With a loose fitting black tank, his trademark fuzzy collared jacket, and plain black pants, he could fit right in with everyone else.
"They do make a great effort to create a hell of a first impression..," the golden teen mumbled as he sipped on his orange juice.
"But of course," the super senior agreed, putting his head on his hands. Onyx eyes watched the cousins closely with great interests. "What I really want to know," he thought out loud, and paused for a devilish smirk, "is what gender Envy is. Boxers or panties, I wouldn't mind having myself a piece of that!"
The table came over an awkward silence, and Edward moved closer to Winry, suddenly afraid of his older friend. Everyone who was anyone knew Roy was sex crazy, but they would rather not know what he did with his "guy friends".
After a while, Jean was the first to speak up. "Okay...I'll agree with you there, Roy. Envy does have all the right curves-," he moved his hands in an hourglass shape, "-but I don't know if I would go out with it. What if it is a guy?"
Roy just gave him a light shrug, "Wouldn't be the first."
Edward opened his mouth to say a smart remark, but the bell ending lunch rang. Bidding their farewells, the friends spit from the table, and went to their separate classes.

It was halfway through sixth period when Envy decided to show up to class. Edward had been mindlessly doodling alchemic circles on his notebook when his English teacher cleared his throat loudly. With mild interests, Edward looked up, and gasped lightly when he saw the sin from earlier.
"Alright, students, calm down; we have a new student with us today," Professor Falman mumbled as he tried to grab the attention of the gossiping teenagers. It seemed, with Envy's short appearance, he was even more popular within the gossiping circles than Edward thought. "Quiet down, please! Everyone, give Envy your full attention." Mr. Falman took a step to the right, letting the androgynous teenager have the full attention.
"Oh, I doubt I have to say anything to them," Envy replied with a frown. "I'm sure they know all about me already; word seems to travel fast around here." Tempted by the teen's remark, and remembering what Roy was wondering earlier, Edward raised his hand bravely. "...My gender is for me to know, and you to find out...Unless, you wish to discover it somewhere more...privet," the Gothic teen replied, grinning pervertedly.
Ed could quickly feel his face blush in embarrassment. What was that supposed to mean?! Was Envy...hitting on him? He gaged inwardly. The sin was definitely not his type.
Falman coughed loudly once more and stepped back next to his newest student. 'I can tell that this is going to be quite the group of kids...' "Now that we have passed the introduction stage, I fear to have learned that Envy does not know...uh...-" He trailed off, glancing over at the unidentified teen next to him. "-their way around school, yet...Would someone mind giving a tour?"
Violet eyes glanced around the room, frowning as they came to learn that no one wanted to show the sin around. However, their second time around, the strange colored eyes landed on Edward, who was currently avoiding a certain pair of eyes. A smirk formed on Envy's grayed lips. "Oi,...Mr...Professor...whatever..how about the Chibi? - he looks eager enough."
"WHA- NO!" Edward yelled, standing up and slamming his hands on his desk. For the second time in less than ten minutes, he blushed in embarrassment. At his sudden protest, everyone attention had been drawn to him. Stuttering slightly, he stood straight, though the blush didn't waver. "I mean, I can't..."
Acting upset, Envy pouted and raised a hand to their heart, "Aw...It's alright...I understand; no one wants to be friends with the strange new kid..." The green-haired teen gave a small, satisfied smirk as the entire class glared at Edward; attempting to make him feel even more guilty than he already was.
With a sigh, Edward sat down back down in his seat. "Alright, I'll do it."
Envy let out a giggle, - which further confused everyone - and an excited 'yay!' of joy as they made their way over to the empty seat that just happened to be next to the eldest Elric. With a grin, Envy turned to Ed and purred, "With you around, Chibi-san, this is going to be a very fun year."
(1) Just like my school's breadsticks :D
(2) My dad says this. For those who don't know, it means that someone's butt crack is showing XD. Envy's pants is, mostlikely, halfway down his butt, showing a nice show ;D
