So this is an AU fanfic. In here our fellow friends are teenagers that go to one of the Citadel's academy. I was seriously debating about being a all current time thing (2014), and everybody be human, then I was thinking about just let things how they are and the only thing that changes is the universe. I will just keep the aliens, and not do the all current and humans thing. Of course this is all before the reapers and the damn wars, everybody a teen in the same academy, which never happen in the mass effect, but why the hell not have fun in fanfics?

Ok, so our Shepard's name is Jane, easy to keep track like this. But instead of the red hair and all like it's in the cover, in here she's pale, blue eyes, and blonde, like a damn angel, but don't let appearances fool you. She's already twenty (you will know why), but she always says she is 16 and is on the suppose 11th grade like everybody else in this fanfic. – Also you will find her personality a bit odd, she's a strange, interesting person, you will see how she actually is.

You will see like all characters here, I might miss a few though.

Enjoy! – Sorry for any typo.

Chapter 1: New chick

Academy – Math class

"Alright, this is the last time I'm doing this. Is this Mr. Udina's math class?" A womanly voice broke the silence from the classroom.

Everybody stopped looking down at their books, as their heads headed towards the door, taking a small glance at some pale skinned girl, with blonde long hair, hell maybe too long, it almost reached her bottom.

"Yes, it is." Udina spoke, with his hands behind him as he looked at the girl that still remained outside and only her head peeking in. "You are late, Shepard."

Shepard frowned while looking at him, as she took a glance at her watch on her wrist, seeing the time. Oh right, she was thirty minutes late, that was very late, but god damn this academy is just too big. But wait a minute... "How do you know my name?"

"You are the only one who still hadn't showed up over two months." Udina frowned back at the girl, as he remained the powerful stand. "Plus I was told a lot about you, they were not wrong when they said you had some angelic appearance." He was clearly talking about how pale she looked, blue eyes, and blonde hair, like a perfect innocent angel girl.

"Ah-huh, pedo alert..." Shepard said with a bit singing tone.

Everybody tried to hold a chuckle, but not Jack and Aria who sat in the back of the classroom. "Ha! I always knew he had a fucking fetish!" Jack said a bit loud while laughing. Aria simple laughed and punched Jack's arm slightly, like approving her words.

"Enough! Jennifer, three days in detention. Aria, you too!" Udina shouted at the teens on the back.

"Ugh, it's JACK, shithead. I will call you Anderson and see if you like." Jack barked at him, knowing pretty well the tension between Udina and Anderson.

"I have nothing to do with this fucking shit. I was just freaking laughing." Aria said angrily as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

"Ignore them, Shepard. - Just come inside and stop standing outside." Udina was angrier than before, the man was always cranky but Jack could get him more.

Shepard shrugged as she stepped inside, finally revealing her full self. She was a tall girl, if you thought Jack and Aria were the taller girls in this academy you were wrong, Shepard beat them just by an inch or two. Even if she had that all angelic appearance, she was smoking hot, full lips, perfect cheek bones, straight long blonde hair, pale skin, blue unique eyes, she already looked like a woman, so everybody was getting curious about her real age, plus her voice didn't sounded like a teen either. Also Shepard was not wearing the normal girl uniform from this academy, girls often wear dark blue skirts that stayed right above her knees, with a white shirt, and then a blue dark tie around their necks, they also had the jacket, with the symbol of the academy on the left side, but Shepard was wearing the male uniform, which was dark blue pants, black shoes, a white shirt, that should be tugged inside her pants, but it was not, with the sleeves all rolled up over the already rolled up sleeves from her jacket, and then the tie that should stay properly right around her neck, was way too loosen up, almost falling, while she had the first buttons of her shirt, unbuttoned. Clearly violating the dressing code.

Kelly looked at her side, seeing Miranda sitting beside her, both shared table, two students could stay at the same table. "HOT" Kelly mouthed at Miranda, as she pointed at Shepard without anybody seeing. Miranda simple rolled her eyes, tilting her head back down to the book.

"Shepard, that's not your uniform." Udina started.

"So? Jack and Aria are just like me. There's no problem with it." Shepard spoke, clearly remembering their names from Udina's lecture, and she watched the girls while he was trying to get them quiet. They seemed interesting girls.

"It's against the dressing code. We just simple lost our hope in Jack and Aria." Udina stated. "But you are new, so we can give you more chances."

"Ah-huh, sorry to disappoint you. I'm not going to wear another uniform. This is a damn academy not a beauty contest, I don't see why I have to wear skirts, and now that I know where this school intentions stand, I absolutely won't wear them." Shepard frowned, folding her arms in front of her chest. She was already acting rebel, and Jack was grinning along with Aria as they watched the new girl.

Udina took a deep breath as he closed his eyes for a second. He had to remain calm, teachers were already complaining about how rude he can be, so he had to remain calm, remain calm, and remain calm. "Alright, introduce yourself to your new classmates."

Shepard smirked like she won the battle, before lower her arms and look back at the class, with her charming smile. "I'm Shepard, 16 years old, and I like...sports, music, I like almost anything really, I'm not a snob." Shepard said with a shrug.

"Just Shepard?" Udina perked up his eyebrow.

"No, of course not silly. I have my first name as well, but I want people to know me as Shepard." She barked at him, again.

Udina was clearly controlling his rage, he had reasons to, especially if the student pissing him off was this Shepard girl. "Alright you will sit..."

"Can I sit besides Jack?" Shepard asked, clearly the only free spot was on Jack's table.

"No. Absolutely not." There was a reason why Jack remained alone, he had to know who the right person to sit beside her was, somebody she couldn't control or hurt. "Miranda, may you please sit besides Jack, so Shepard can take your seat besides Kelly?"

Miranda quickly looked up, almost feeling like throwing a book at Udina's face. "Why?"

"Because you are the only one Jack cannot manipulate or hurt. Plus Kelly is a good tutor so perhaps she would be a good company for Shepard." Udina frowned at the raven haired girl, hoping she wouldn't take this too far either.

"Fine." She huffed out, and picked up her things as she walked to the back of the classroom, and sat besides Jack.

"Watch me try." Jack mumbled, clearly talking about how Udina said that Jack couldn't manipulate or hurt her.

Shepard simple shrugged it off, as she walked up to the table where Miranda left. She dropped the bag over it, and sat down on the chair. Kelly was totally fangirling right now, she felt like her heart was melting to have Shepard sit beside her. Of course she felt bad for her friend, but god damn, she prefers Shepard by her side.

"Ok, open your books at page 40, let's finish this exercises, so we can continue." Udina told the class as he turned around to get his own book.

"Shit." Shepard cursed under her breath, as she looked through her bag, and the only thing she found was a simple notebook, and a pen. Ugh, she hated school, so of course she was reckless about it.

"You forgot your book?" Kelly mumbled as she turned her head to face Shepard, with a small smile.

"Ugh, yeah. Must have left it on the table or something." Shepard placed her notebook over the table and held her pen.

"I can share." Kelly's smile turned into a shy one, when she pushed the book to the middle of the table, so Shepard could look at it as well.

"Thanks, you are a nice chick, ah..." She tried to remember the girl's name.

"Kelly." She kept the shy smile.

"Oh, gonna be my tutor?" Shepard wiggled her eyebrow, flashing a charming smile.

"G-Guess so." Kelly bit down on her lower lip, getting more nervous and shy.

"Good. I was hoping to get an ugly lame person, but I got lucky and they gave me a good looking one." Shepard kept her teasing t one.

Kelly simple blushed.

Miranda stayed behind, watching everything, especially how Shepard was already getting too close to Kelly. Cursing in her head, she gripped tightly onto her pencil and began to solve the math problems. Trying to push away those stupid thoughts, she didn't knew this chick, but she already had a feeling she wouldn't like her, plus she was a rebel, just like Jack and Aria, another reason to dislike her. Miranda wasn't the sweetest person out there, but rebels people like Jack and Aria annoyed her, way too much, and if this Shepard was like that, this was going to be a hell of year.

"Hey, cheerleader. Got your eye on the new girl?" Jack teased Miranda.

Yup, this was going to be a long school year.

The math class finally ended, and Shepard was already groaning out in relief through the hallways. "GOD FINALLY IT ENDED."

"I guess so." Kelly said quietly with a kind smile on her face.

"Ugh, seriously, what kind of teacher starts doing hard tasks on the very first day of school?" Shepard huffed out annoyed as she held her bag over her shoulder.

"Actually we are already in November, you simple arrived later." Kelly hoped she didn't offended Shepard.

"Still first day of school for me." Shepard shrugged, reaching the lockers.

"You have the point." Kelly giggle.

"220...221...222...ah 223" Shepard was trying to find hers, and sadly for her, she stayed with the bottom locker and not with the upper one. Sighing out, she open the locket, and threw her bag inside it, before locking it again.

"You won't bring your stuff?" Kelly asked.

"Nope, we have PE next, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't need it. – But I do need something else, from you." Shepard grinned.

Kelly gulped, feeling shy again. "W-What is it?"

"Do you have any extra pair of clothes? I forgot mine at home." Shepard knew by now, Kelly could tell she forgot things easily.

Kelly couldn't help but to chuckle. "I'm sorry. You seem to forget lots of things."

Shepard chuckled as well. "Yeah, tell me about it."

"I do not have an extra pair of clothes, but I know somebody who likes to bring more than one pair."

"Hum, that's odd." Shepard asked Kelly if she had one, but now if she thought about it, it was indeed weird.

"Yeah, well she likes to be safe than sorry. Or perhaps she thinks her sister will simple forget." Kelly shrugged.

"I see, who is it?"

Before Kelly could answer, Miranda stepped in, clearing her throat. "Excuse me, but that's my locker."

"Huh? The 223?" Shepard frowned slightly, looking at Miranda. Oh she was that girl that Udina forced to change chairs with. Damn, aint she a perfection.

"No, the 222." Miranda said a bit coldly, as she approached her locker, forcing Shepard to simple back off.

"I see, we are going to be lockermates then?" Shepard asked with a chuckle.

"I already got enough of you as classmate, do not push it." Miranda spoke harshly as she put her books in the locker.

"Fine, fine. Chill girl. I know when a chick wants to be on top, so I won't take that from you." Shepard teased, as she raised her hands like she was surrendering. She said that, because Miranda's locker was right above her, so she was simple being sassy with words.

Kelly couldn't help but to blush at this scene. "Miri?"

Miranda was about to say something else to Shepard if she didn't heard Kelly's voice."What?"

"Will you borrow me one pair of clothes for PE? I forgot mine." Kelly said a bit quietly. If she said it was for Shepard, the girl would snap, so it was better keep it this way.

"Alright. Here." Miranda quickly helped out Kelly, she reached out and removed a pair of tight dark blue shorts, then a white shirt with the academy symbol on it. "You can give them back whenever you want."

"Thanks, Miranda. You are the best." Kelly said with happy smile.

"Yeah, at least somebody deserves it." Miranda said, as she looked at Shepard from the corner of her eye.

"Hey look at you, being friendly." Shepard teased her again, like she already knew the girl.

"Shut up." Miranda told her, as she got the other pair of clothes for her and left, without saying anything else.

"Well, that was a good catch." Shepard kept her charming grin.

"Don't try to tease Miranda, Shepard. She has a short temper." Kelly warned the new girl carefully. "But anyway, got you the clothes. But you should wear mine instead, she will snap if she sees you are wearing hers."

"Nah, I will wear hers. The clothes are all the freaking same, right? She won't notice. " Shepard said taking Miradan's clothes slowly on her hands.

"I hope you are right, Shepard."

Kelly and Shepard were already outside on the PE camps. They were on the basketball one, and when Shepard noticed that was going to be the sport they were doing, she couldn't help but feel more excited than usual.

"Ok, teams up." Anderson spoke as he clapped his hands together. "Shepard."

"Sir?" Shepard quickly got herself focused, and pretty much in a military stand, just not with her hand against her forehead.

"You are going to be the leader of the first team."

"Alright, sir." Shepard nodded. Everybody was amazed how she acted like this towards Anderson, she spent the entire class headbutting Udina, and they were amazed she held this respect for Anderson.

"Miranda, you will be the leader of the second one."

Miranda smirked, feeling like this was her chance to remove that freaking smirk of Shepard's face. "Sure."

"I will let you guys pick the teams."

Shepard nodded, not really knowing who to pick, she simple said the name of the only person she knew. "Kelly."

It was Miranda's turn. "Jacob."

"Ah-hum...Jack." Shepard said looking at the tattooed girl.

"Huff...Aria." Miranda felt like spitting out her name. She did not get along with the asari girl, but believe it or not, they were both in the cheerleader's thing.

"You..." Shepard pointed at James.

"Garrus."

"You." Shepard pointed at Kaidan.

"Cortez."

Now there was only left, Liara and Tali, which both looked nervous. (I decided here Quarians do not wear the suit. Because Tali is freaking beautiful without it.)

"Hum..." Shepard placed her palms on her hips, as she watched the both girls, like she was admiring a piece of art, she was about to buy. "You." She then pointed at the asari girl, Liara.

"Ugh, Tali. Better catch the ball this time." Miranda snapped a bit, as she watched Tali frowning at her.

"Ok, time to start." Anderson spoke, as everybody got on their position, and then waited for the leaders to show up, when they were here, he threw the ball up while whistling.

Shepard jumped at the same time as Miranda, but the dark haired girl was quicker and quickly took the ball with her. Then she ran to the other side of the camp, not really bothering to pass the ball to anyone, and before anybody could count ten seconds, Miranda had marked a point.

"Shepard, come on!" Jack shouted at Shepard. "Get a grip of that cheerleader. "

"How the hell was I supposed to know she was good at it? She looks all feminine and stuff, she's not supposed to be good at sports." Shepard huffed out at Jack, as she tied her long hair into a pony tail, even though it was not enough to keep it out of the way. It was just too long.

"Do not underestimate me, Shepard. I'm more skilled than you think." Miranda told her, this time being the one with the smirk.

"Yeah, the game still didn't finished, so don't get all cocky now." Shepard told her. "But if you do win, I will give you a reward." Shepard winked at her, before go pick up the ball, and continue the game.

Miranda felt herself stuck on her spot when Shepard winked at her. Did she just? Why in hell... Miranda thought before mentally scolding herself and focus on the game.

I like some school mass effect fanfic. Don't judge me xD – This will just be like some high school drama, perhaps a bit related with K-dramas, I have been watching those things a lot now. – So yeah, this with Miranda and Shepard is totally going to happen, but when, I'm not so sure. – However I'm not sure if she will be Shepard's pairing, I'm still debating between the other choices, Ashley, Liara, and Tali. (Not Kelly, because I need a heart-breaking person in here, or a friend with benefits, who knows)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Stick around!
