Sorry the story starts out a little slow with short days and not a lot of dialog or action. I promise it picks up, days become a lot longer and conflict arises I just have a slow and steady start, stay with it a while and it will get better.

Also I will post some days in groups, some of them are going to be short scents I have to have nearly 112 days to equal a semester. That's a lot of days to have something worthwhile happen.

The school in the fic is based off a real college that I attend some of the OCs in this fic are real people

Day 1

Stein, Spirit and Marie walked through campus hauling their luggage around behind them. "I can't believe they make professors live on campus…" Spirit said he was struggling to hold his bags; it looked like he had packed his entire room. They walked down a sidewalk that lead them past a globe and bell tower into a court yard.

"Let's try to make the best of this and have a little fun while we are here." Marie said smiling. "Maybe I could find a boyfriend, that would make everything better." She had more luggage than Spirit; pulling everything behind her on a cart, she was smart enough to bring one. Stein said nothing and only carried a small arm full of stuff, he was never a man to need or want much.

"Yea you could be right, Marie, and new school filled with women who haven't met me yet, I hope they're hot."

"We are on a mission, at least try to remember that." Stein felt around in the pocket of his lab coat until he found the campus map. Stein wasn't at all thrilled about going on this mission it would take him away from his other works for quite some time.

"Awe you're no fun."

"Found it, this is the button-auditorium registration is in here." He ignored Spirits complaints of his attitude and turned up a walkway to the right; Spirit and Marie followed.

They entered the building; it was a lot like a drama theater with rows of red seats, a balcony with even more, and a large stage in the center. There were quite a lot of other people all having to bring their luggage there with them. "Take a registration sheet." A woman next to the door commanded and pointed to the stage where a stack of papers lay. They all did and took a set.

"This is to see how qualified you are. Only the best professors get to work here." She said

"Oh you must be a great professor then, what do you teach, chemistry?" Spirit whispered to the woman. "I'm speaker for the head master." She said aggressively and pushed Spirit out of the way.

"Oh." Spirit looked embarrassed and set next to Stein.

"Maybe you should start thinking before you open that mouth of yours." He said "Lord Death will not be happy if we get kicked out on our first day, we are supposed to infiltrate this school and see what the deal is, and we have to last the whole first semester."

"I know you don't have to lecture me."

They began registering. First was the schools rules; Stein skipped over them, next name "Franken Stein." Age "29" Gender "Male" normal junk he thought; skills and abilities "High level Soul Perception, large soul wavelength, can use without weapon partner effectively, flexible soul, can match to whoever I need to." Registration continued much like that. Nothing out of the ordinary about that, when registration was finished they were told to hang about until they had finished looking over them.

"You two remembered not to put that your death scythes right? Only someone from the DWMA could be a death scythe." Stein warned.

"Of course, we aren't a dumb as you seem to think."

"I was just checking."

"Well let's go and meet some of our fellow professors." Marie said excitedly and got up from her chair. She saw a group of young men all talking to each other and was bound for them. Spirit went in the opposite direction to a bunch of women. Stein just stayed in his chair, life around here is going to be dull with these too chasing relationships.

No one would approach Stein, he saw some people looking at him like they were thinking about it, but no one ever came…

He sat there quietly by himself until the HM's speaker came back to give results. She came around and handed back their papers like they had taken a test or something. Stein's said they had a partner for him, his room was in the dorm building called Mignon Hall, and Stein was on the 5th floor room 502. His partner was a pike named Heidi.

Spirit came over to Stein "you get a partner?" he asked urgently "yes, apparently you and your partner dorm together."

"So you got a partner?"

"Yes, I just told you that."

"Marie and I have to go to some sort of thing Sunday to find a partner; I was hoping to get you first." he wrinkled up his registration while saying this.

"They assigned me one." Stein said turning from him to the paper and batting his hand in spirits direction.

"How is that?"

"Flexible soul I guess." he didn't look back to Spirit and kept scanning his paper

"Oh yeah, darn it…" he flopped into a chair next to Stein sprawled out with disappointment.

Marie came over second "Stein you have a partner?" she asked

"Yeah, Marie, they assigned him one." Spirit said with his lips still together.

"Well shoot. "She complained stomping her foot. "I didn't even want to come and now I have to find a partner all over again, oh it's just like the first day of school." she whined putting her hand to mouth.

"We don't get a dorm room until we get a partner so there having all of us sleep in beds put in the gym until we find one Sunday." Spirit crossed his arms

"Sleep in a gym…"Marie said sadly "that's so not attractive." She whimpered placing herself to Steins other side.

"Well I have a dorm… think I'll go check it out." Stein reported. "And Spirit quit complaining, you didn't even like being my partner anyway." Stein smacked him on the head with is paper as he got up. "Both of you go mingle and find someone, you were eager to make new friends or whatever it is what you two do." They seemed ok with that and went back to mingling something Stein was never really good at.

It took a good 10 minute walk to get from the auditorium to his hall; a six story building. The lobby contained a small TV, a piano, and an air hockey table. The first floor had a kitchen and laundry room for the residents use. Stein took the stairs even though they had an elevator, after walking up the steps of the DWMA so long he can't complain about a stair case. He found his room the second to the last in the hall and placed the key inside. Once in the room, he found two females unpacking their luggage. "Hello." He greeted.

The women all looked at each other "Heidi, I think your partner is here." One said she is blonde with short hair and blue eyes; wearing a white button down shirt, red tie around her neck, jean pants and black dress shoes. The girl next her was small, had black hair she had in a ponytail and glasses; she had on a simple black t-shirt, jeans and running shoes; seemingly casual for a professor. Another came from the back bedroom, Stein guessed she was Heidi. She had long blonde hair in a braid and green eyes. She was wearing a yellow sweater that fell to her shoulders and a long flowing skirt.

"Are you Heidi? Hello I am your Meister, Dr. Franken Stein." He said. He felt a little awkward, the females looking him over and not saying anything. "We aren't okay with co-ed rooms, but that's how this school does things." The short haired blonde said looking at the other two for support "We are your roommates, but we'll be watching you for a while okay? Nothing personal it's just…"

"That's ok, I get it, but you have…" he stopped himself before he possibly lied. "So there are four to a room?" he asked, changing his topic quickly.

"Yes, I am Katie, a weapon." The blonde speaking announced.

"I'm Erika, Katie's Meister." The black headed one said.

"And I guess we're partners." Heidi said.

There was a strange air, Stein could feel it…He looked around the room, it was a small living room with a window looking into the hall next to the door. There was a row of desks built into the wall on the right. They had placed a TV set on the left wall and a futon up against the back.

"Your desk is the third one." Erika said, Stein sat his hand full of stuff on his desk and looked down the opening in the back wall, there was a doorway that led into a small hallway, and where on the left wall was the bathroom with only a toilet, some shelves in between it and another door that had a shower in it. On the right were four separate closets.

"The third closet is also yours." Erika pointed things out as Stein looked over the room. The open door way at the end of the hall was the bedroom, yes only one bedroom with two bunk beds.

"The top bunk above Heidi's is yours…she likes the bottom." She shared.

"You mean they expect us to all sleep in the same room?" He asked.

"Yeah"

Stein just looked around. The atmosphere in there was choking as he felt how awkward the females felt about the situation. "Sorry," he said "I want this to be as less awkward for you has it has to be…so if you don't want me spending much time in here I'll go to the library or something."

"Oh, um, no, you don't have to do that, I mean if you want to, go ahead but we don't want to make you feel like we don't want you here or something." Erika stated.

"That's fine, I was just dropping off some things, and I'm going to go back out for a while anyway." He said leaving the dorm room speedily. He stood outside the door. That was choking, I need some air…how am I going to live with them for a semester…he could hear them talking through the door.

"You think I was too mean? I was to mean wasn't I?" Erika asked worriedly.

"No! He's a creepy man. He needs to know we are watching him, I don't want him trying anything." Katie's voice replied.

"He had a screw in his head and stitches all over his clothing." They giggled about this.

"Let's stop talking about him, sorry lord…we're bad people." Erika's voice said.

Stein felt uncomfortable…he left to go find Spirit. He walked to the gym where he guessed they would be and was right. They were unpacking their blankets to stay until Sunday. "Oh Stein." Marie said noticing him walking to them "So how's the rooms?"

"Awkward…everyone shares a bedroom and my roommates already don't like me."

"Awe sounds rough." Spirit said halfheartedly as he stared at a curvy red head a few yards away. "I'll be back" he said, bound for her. "Hey you need a partner-"he was saying on approach.

"Awe, Stein, that's too bad. Just try and be nice to them." He nodded "You seem kind of glum ever since we got here, you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah I'm just not in a talkative mood."

"Well shape up! You're only going to make friends if you try!" She smiled pleasantly and pulled him over to a group of guys with her.

"Wait, Marie, don't. I am terrible at making friends." He stopped and pulled his arm from her.

"But I'm not, and you're my friend." She smiled she took his arm again and pulled him to the group. "Hi boys." She said waving and smiling eagerly.

"Oh, it's the pretty little lass from earlier." One said looking Marie up and down then making a face when Stein stopped next to her.

"Oh you guys…this is my friend Stein. He's new here too, he's talented and really smart but shy so he has trouble making friends." Stein face palmed, I'm not shy…

"Oh really." One of the men said "If your cool you can hang around with us." the other two men shrugged and were staring at him. "but why do you have a screw in your head?" he continued realizing his friends were staring at it.

"It…helps me focus." Stein answered eyes moving to the ground.

"How?"

"Well…." This was not one of Steins favorite subjects… "When I crank it like this," He showed them. "It releases a chemical in my brain that lets me focus better."

They all looked horrified, "that's disgusting." Marie smiled awkwardly "He's a scientist." She said "so this is what scientists do…"

"So you did that to yourself?!"

"Yeah…it's better than using someone else…" Stein said slightly shrugging.

They gave him some looks, "…..you know we….well we already have partners…" one in the back pointed out.

"I wasn't looking for one…" he said rather coldly and walked away. Marie smiled at the men like she was apologizing and followed "wow, Stein, you were right you are bad at making friends….Why did you tell them about your screw? That's not a pleasant topic." She asked feeling guilty for draging him over there. "That's the first thing people ask about…" he answered.

"What was that?" Spirit said mockingly coming back across to them. "Your epic fail at making friends?"

Stein pointing at the red head said "your epic fail at getting a date." He replied. Spirit crossed his arms.

"Guys, let's all settle down…oh look at the time it's going on 8:00, maybe you should go back to your dorm, Stein, and settle in…"

Stein didn't look anxious to go, but he knew he had to sometime. "Okay."

"Try to be nice and not answer about your screw…" she said.

He made his way back to his dorm where the females where done unpacking. He didn't say much to them, only took out his bedding and went to sleep.
