Hey everyone, this is my first Harvest Moon fanfic, I wrote this after I realised, that all the characters are all so sweet and innocent, so I thought I'd spice things up a bit. They all attend high school, where Lillian is the new girl, Phillip is the player. The rests of the girls aren't sluts, but they do get around and stuff, nothing serious. And as for the boys, they're the popular football jocks. Also the adults are the teachers and there is no relation, so Jessica isn't Ash's mum, Howard not Laney's dad etc. Enjoy!
Lillian's POV
I hate starting new schools. No matter how many times you do it, it never gets easier. I have moved schools over five times, all because my mother wants to keep away from my father. I think that's unfair, especially for me, why shouldn't I get to see my dad, but you know mums, you can never win an argument with them. Anyhow, I'm starting Bluehana Academy tomorrow and I have nothing to wear. I'm not sure whether to go sophisticated and appealing, or hot and dangerous. First impressions last the longest you know. Perhaps I'll have some inspiration in the morning…
Waking up, I realised that I only had an hour to get ready and dressed, and that I would have to get the bus, since my mum has already left. I rushed into the shower and scrubbed myself until I must have been gleaming. I decided on the smart and sexy look, and applied the makeup suitable for teenage girls. So a lot. I ran down to the kitchen, grabbed my bag and bolted out the door, forgetting breakfast entirely. I caught the bus just in time, thanking God that I didn't have to run or I'll sweat my look off. The bus ride was uneventful, thankfully and I got off outside the school. I gulped as I took in the massive campus, but steeled myself and entered the office. There was a woman, or was it a man, sitting behind the desk reading the paper, so I cleared my throat loudly. Startled, the man looked up, saw me and gave a squeal of delight. I was so surprised that I was grinning and before you knew it we were both laughing.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, he smiled and said, "Hello there dear, I'm Howard, it's wonderful to meet you. You must be new here?" I grinned and replied, "Yes, I'm Lillian Everdeen, I'm looking forward to studying here." He handed over my schedule and timetable, and what looked like a map, which was a relief as I would need one. "Here you go, love. This is all your classes and study periods, and a map with all the fastest routes to your classes. I hope you enjoy it here at Bluehana, if you have any problems come ask me ok?" I thanked him and opened the door, which led to the inside courtyard. I took a deep breath and headed to class.
Nori's POV
Mondays. I hated them with a passion, but they had to be done. As I walked towards my class, I heard wolf-whistles from the boys that were lounging on the benches. Smirking slightly, I turned and blew them a kiss. They laughed and began making thrusting motions in the air. Stung, I flipped them off and stalked away. I hated that so much. I might be a pretty girl, but I'm not a slut. Not like those other girls, who have a new boy-toy every day. Fuming, I didn't realise that I had stormed straight into another girl, who fell to the ground with a cry. I automatically flinched and stooped over to pick up the other girl's belongings. "Thank you," she said. I looked at the girl properly for the first time.
She was of average height, with light brown hair and peculiar violet eyes. But the most important thing was that she was pretty, but she as she smiled at me, I didn't feel jealousy, but rather relief. Relief that she wasn't one of those sluts, relief that she could someone to understand me, maybe even a friend. "My name is Lillian; I'm new here, what's your name?" Her voice broke me out of my stunned daze, so I smiled and held out my hand for her to shake. "It's Nori and it's lovely to meet you Lillian."
Lillian grinned and it transformed her face, she wasn't just pretty, she was beautiful. I was more than determined for this girl to be my friend. "Do you want me to show you to your next class?" I offered. "Yes, that would be great, thank you. I have English with a Mr Rossi?"
"That's the same class I have as well. Come on then, let's go." We walked together to the class, chatting about nothing, things like Lillian's old school, clothes and movies. I had a good feeling that this year would be a whole lot different.
Phillip's POV
Walking into English class, I was greeted by a loud cheer from all the boys in the room and saw all the girls blush as they met my eyes. Sure, I was a player, and the star quarterback of the football team, but I wish they wouldn't announce my entrance. It just made me appear obnoxious. Well can't have everything. I sat down at my desk and grinned as a sigh came from Laney, who was sitting next to me. "Ah, a new student! Welcome!" cried Mr Rossi. I glanced up and saw Nori, a beautiful girl, but she wouldn't date me, so she wasn't worth my time. Then I saw her. The new girl. She was smoking hot. All the curves and grace of a supermodel. And those eyes, those amazing purple eyes, which were staring right at me. I blinked and blushed. Blushed. Me, Phillip Mellark, blushing over a girl I just saw.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lillian Everdeen and I'm hoping that we can all get along well." Her voice was seductive and velvety, I was transfixed. Then I heard Kana, one of the players on the football team whisper loudly, "I sure me and her will get along really well," wiggling his eyebrows. I heard a musical laugh as Lillian winked at Kana and replied, "Yeah alright handsome, but the line forms to the left." The class howled with laughter and Kana grinned in good nature. Mr Rossi chuckled, and said, "Ok, class settle down, Lillian, you can sit next to Nori at the back." Still giggling, the two girls walked to the back and sat down. I didn't notice I was still staring at them until my buddy Ash muttered, "Stick your tongue back in your mouth, before anyone gets any ideas."
With a jolt, I closed my mouth and turned to face the front. Mr Rossi began, talking about Shakespeare and poetry and the usual stuff. I heard that music-like laugh again and saw Lillian and Nori staring at me. What surprised me was that they were not staring at me with admiration like most girls, but with contempt. I saw as Nori whispered something into Lillian's ear and her violet eyes sparkled with disdain. I looked away and frowned. Nori was feeding the new girl info about all the skeletons in my closet, the drinking, and the partying. This made things difficult. If I was going to get Lillian Everdeen to fall in love with me, just like all girls, I needed to get her away from Nori. Challenge accepted.
Kana's POV
The new girl walked in and my first thought was damn, she's fine. She stood up at the front with that vixen Nori, a girl who has rejected me at least a dozen times, and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Lillian Everdeen and I'm hoping that we can all get along well." Her voice was so sexy that I said out loud, "I sure me and her will get along really well." Both Lillian and Nori heard me, the latter threw me a look that could cut glass, but the former winked at me and replied, "Yeah alright, handsome, but the line forms to the left." Everyone was laughing and I was grinning, thinking to myself, I bet you have a line gorgeous. And I'm gonna make my way to the front. Then I saw Phillip Mellark staring openly at her, and my heart sank as I knew that he would go for her. I usually just moved aside for him, but not for this girl. Game on, pretty boy. You may be quarterback, college captain and whatever, but you're not getting this girl.
I watched as her hips swung as she walked and sat down with Nori at the back. The teacher began the lesson, but I was barely paying attention. I was too busy thinking about Lillian and how I would make the first move. But then I thought about Phillip and what he would do, so I sat there thinking about waging a figurative war with the most popular kid in school, who had girls swooning at his feet. I heard an amazing laugh from the back of the room, and turned to see both girls staring at Phillip with scorn, and then saw him frown and look away. This was great. It looked like Nori would be the biggest help by telling Lillian all this crap about Mellark and my way would be clear. This year is going to be great, I thought to myself gleefully. And then I realised who she had just made friends with. Nori. The girl who knew everything about everyone. I was so screwed.
Lillian's POV
I watched as the boys in the class kept turning to look at me, clearly thinking about how they could get with me. I snarled internally and thought, it is so on, boys.
What did you think? I hope it's good. R&R please, but only constructive criticism please. I bruise so easily, it's not funny. Thanks for reading though! New chapter coming soon.
