Two girls looked at the building in front of them with wide eyes, and they exchanged a look for a brief moment. The red head grinned, while the black haired girl just stood there biting her lower lip. The red head rolled her eyes. "Oh, cheer up Emmie. Maybe going to a new school will be fun." Emeline sighed. "I doubt it." Her sister just giggled and grabbed her hand, and before Emeline could protest, the red head was already dragging her inside. They didn't get far before an older woman in a pink suit stopped them.
"Well hello there. You must be the new students, Emeline and Isadora Pierce, correct?" Both girls nodded, Izzy's eye twicthing at the use of her full name, and the woman, completely oblivious to the look on Izzy's face, smiled kindly at them. "Welcome to Sweet Amoris High School. I hope you'll feel at home quickly here in your new school. I would suggest you go see Nathaniel, the student body president. He'll help you make sure your registration is complete. He should be in the student council room." The girls nodded, and watched the principal walk away before they glanced at each other and shrugged.
"Any idea where the student council room is?" Izzy asked. Emmie shook her head, and Izzy shrugged. "Well then, we'd better start looking." Of course, it didn't take long. Actually, it only took them about ten seconds, as a room with a plaque that read "Student Council" was placed just above the door. Izzy quickly opened the door. "Hello, Nathaniel! Are you in here?" Emeline winced at the volume of her sister's voice and elbowed her sister gently in the stomach, and a boy with blonde hair appeared, looking less than pleased at the screaming.
"This isn't a circus. There's no need to shout. Can I help you girls?" the boy asked. Emmie suddenly spoke up, knowing her sister was likely to argue if she didn't say something.
"Um, excuse us. We were looking for the student body president? The principal asked us to come see him about our enrollment papers." The boy smiled kindly at them and nodded.
"Of course. You're Emeline and Isadora, right?" Izzy just scowled at the boy. She was able to tolerate her full name being used by adults out of respect, but when another student used her name, that was another story.
"My name is Izzy. I don't go by Isadora," Izzy said,, eye twitching as she tried to remain cool. The boy noticed this and swallowed.
"Noted. Anyway, I'm Nathaniel. I'm the student body president. Let me just check and make sure everything is in order." Izzy seemed to calm down, and after watched the boy shuffle through papers for a few moments, he faced them again. "Alright, everything seems to be in order. Do you have your photo ID's?" The girls handed them over, and he paper clipped them to their enrollment papers. "Okay. All you need to do is turn these into the office, and they should have copies of your schedules." The girls nodded.
"Okay, thank you Nathaniel." Emeline said. The two girls exited the room, and Emmie spoke up again. "He seems nice." she said. Izzy rolled her eyes.
"If by nice you mean uptight. He looks like a total control freak. Though he was pretty cute." Izzy grinned. "Maybe I can be the one to get him to let loose a bit." Emmie just laughed.
"If anyone could do it, it would be you." That got both girls laughing as they made their way to the main office.
Emeline sighed as she sat with Iris and her friends at the lunch table. Izzy had been with them, but as soon as she spotted Nathaniel, she had gone off to talk with him. That left her to sit with people she didn't even really know. Iris was the only one she had actually talked to, but she barely even knew her either. She had long red hair like her sister, only her's was in a braid, while Izzy kept hers down. She seemed nice enough though, so Emmie figured it was worth it getting to know her.
The black haired girl suddenly froze as a familiar figure entered the cafeteria. He had short brown hair and round glasses, which actually were always "fogged up," so they covered his eyes, never allowing anyone to see their actual color. Ken. He was from their old school, and he had transferred across the country just to be with her. Though sweet, she thought it more creepy than anything. He also had a thing for Izzy, but her sister wouldn't give him the time of day, and was actually quite rude to him most of the time. Emeline, on the other hand, wasn't so mean, so he tended to follow her instead of Izzy. The two of them had just found out this morning that he had transferred too.
"Emeline, are you okay?" At the sound of Iris's voice, Emeline looked at her red haired friend and gave her a fake smile.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." She glanced in Ken's direction again. Without her sister to tell the boy to back off, she had no way to get him to leave. She turned to Iris again. "Um, I have something to do. I'll see you later, okay?" Her friend nodded, and Emmie grabbed her bag and bolted out of the cafeteria and into the courtyard. After a few moments, she glanced over her shoulder to make sure he wasn't following her. She was so worried that he had seen her, that she herself didn't see the person she was about to walk into until it was too late.
Smack! Emeline blinked as she ended up on the ground. "Watch where you're going! Geez." She looked up at the figure as she heard them speak. It was a boy, bright red hair like her sister's and Iris's, and stormy gray eyes, which at the moment, looked rather unwelcoming. Emeline blushed and bit her lower lip.
"S-sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." The boy rolled his eyes.
"Clearly," he scoffed. Despite his unfriendly attitude, the boy held his hand out, and after hesitating for a moment, which caused the boy to become impatient, she gently took his hand. He pulled her to her feet, and she was caught off guard at how strong this boy was. "Hmm, I haven't seen you around here before." Emmie flushed and rubbed her arm nervously.
"Oh, um, m-my sister and I just moved here actually. We're living with our aunt." The boy didn't seem to care, instead just studying her. She wasn't sure whether to run, or to stay.
"That explains things." After giving her another once over, the boy looked at her curiously. "What's your name newbie?" he asked. Emeline swallowed hard and looked at the boy.
"Oh, um, E-Emeline. My name's Emeline." The boy just stared at her for a moment, making her feel even more uncomfortable, and to her surprise, the boy eventually gave her a little half smile. At least, that's what she thought it was meant to be.
"Hmm. Interesting name. Name's Castiel. What are you doing out here on the first day of school? Shouldn't you be in the cafeteria eating lunch? That's where most of the new students eat." Bridget flushed again and glanced around.
"Um, actually, I'm kind of hiding from-" She never got a chance to finish, as someone called her name.
"Hey, Emmie!" The girl winced and glanced over her shoulder to see Ken running up to her.
"-him," she muttered, finishing her sentence. Before she could say anything more, Catsiel looked at the boy and scowled.
"Hey, kid, can't you see we're talking?" Ken abruptly stopped and gawked at the red head, blushing slightly.
"Well, um, yeah. But I-" Castiel rolled his eyes.
"Look, she doesn't want to talk to you, so why don't you just leave her alone, okay kid?" Ken opened his mouth to protest.
"But-" Castiel gave the boy a hard stare.
"Scram!" Ken didn't have to be told twice, and was gone on what Emeline figured was record time. She turned back to the red head in front of her.
"Um, wasn't that kind of mean?" The boy rose an eyebrow.
"Uh, you're welcome. And I thought you said you were avoiding him." Emeline blushed.
"Well, yeah, but only because I didn't want to be mean to the poor kid." Castiel rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. See you later newbie." Emeline watched the boy walk away, and she just stared in the direction he had left in for a few moments before sighing and making her way back into the cafeteria.
