An ashy-blonde haired girl with emerald eyes made her way up the steps of the academy she had been waiting to go to for years. She was feeling confident; no worries whatsoever. She wondered who she'd end up getting partnered with. What would he or she be like? What kind of friends would she make? She sighed and smiled at the top of the stairs, but her peace was interrupted soon enough.

"Don't touch me! Dirty senior boy!" a voice cried.

Before the ashy-blonde knew it a boy was flying through the sky with blood gushing from his nose…WOW whoever hit that guy must have been tough. Now she HAD to know who it was. The blonde made her way over to where the boy flew from and when she arrived she saw a girl about her age with golden hair and a caramel eye huffing with some residual frustration.

"Excuse me…" the emerald eyed girl said, making the other girl jump. "Were you the one who punched that boy?"

The caramel eyed girl laughed and rubbed the back of her head "Yeah, I guess I got a little carried away! Oh, are you new too?"

"Yes, I'm new."

"Great! My name is Marie! Marie Mjolnir!" the caramel eyed girl said brightly. "What's yours?"

"I'm Kami." The ashy-blonde replied.

"It's nice to meet you Kami! Do you want to walk to class together?" Marie asked kindly.

"Sure." Kami said. She was happy to find that there was at least one nice person at this school already.

"Now let's see…where's that room…? This way!" Marie said pointing down a hall.

"You sure? I'm pretty sure or homeroom, Class Crescent Moon, is that way." Kami said, pointing in the opposite direction.

After losing their way multiple times, they finally arrived at the proper class.

"Well, here we are." Marie said cheerfully.

Kami's eyebrow twitched a bit from the annoyance of having gotten lost for so long but when Marie turned and smiled at her she couldn't stay angry…Marie seemed like such a nice girl.

"So Marie, what sort of weapon are you?" Kami asked curiously, noting the badge on Marie's shirt.

….?

Marie wasn't answering; her gaze was fixated at the top row of seats in the room, in the farthest corner. Looking over in the same direction, Kami noticed a rather lonesome looking boy. He had pale skin, slivery-grey hair, and olive green eyes. His expression was rather uninterested and he was paging through some sort of catalog.

"Um…Marie?" Kami asked again.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Marie hurriedly apologized, realizing she was neglecting Kami.

Kami sweatdropped a bit at Marie's slowness but soon smiled again.

"Um…Kami? If it's ok with you, I think I'm going to go talk to that boy." Marie said with a small smile. "You can come too if you want."

"No thanks." Kami said, thinking it best that Marie spend the time one on one with that boy. "I'm going to look around a bit and maybe talk to some people. Just get acquainted with the class. That boy seems to be a pretty solitary guy, so I think it would be best if you two chatted alone."

Marie giggled, turned around, and made her way to the top row to enthusiastically greet the silver haired boy. Kami smiled at the scene but was soon distracted by the sound of numerous giggling girls. Looking over she scoffed in disgust at the sight.

A boy about her age with crimson hair was in a circle of girls, joking and flirting. Ugh, it was one of THOSE boys. Of course all the girls surrounding him were lovely and developing well for their age…ugh she hated dipsticks like that. What was so special about him? How did girls managed to fall for that crap?

Sighing, Kami took a seat in a row near the middle of the classroom and opened up a book. She loved reading.

"Hey, what's up?" a casual male voice said suddenly.

Kami looked up, thinking that she would be greeted with the face of a possible new friend…ugh NO.

Her eyes flattened and she almost gagged. It was THAT BOY.

"Hey." Was all she said before looking back down at her book.

"Is it your first day? It's time too." The redhead said. Kami grumbled in irritation. "Do you know anyone here yet?"

….no answer.

The teal eyed man chuckled a bit and snatched the book from Kami's hands.

"Hey!" she shouted with anger. "what was that for?"

The boy only laughed in response.

"Ugh, can I have my book back?" she asked in an agitated voice.

"Alright, I'll give it back…IF you tell me your name, where you're from, and what your favorite kind of candy is." The boy said smirking.

What the hell kind of guy was this? Was this whole deal some kind of big ass joke to him?

"Fine. My name is Kami, I'm from Japan, and my favorite kind of candy is just a really nice chocolate bar." She said narrowing her eyes. "Now can you give me my book back?"

Smiling at her, the boy offered her the book back, which she snatched rather quickly.

"It was nice meeting you Kami. I'm Spirit Albarn. I hope we get to hang out and talk again sometime." Spirit said winking. Kami growled. "I'd stay and chat longer but I have to get back over to my meister." He said, pointing to the top row. Ah…the silver-haired boy…so that was his meister… "Heh, well well, looks like he's got a fangirl!"

Geez! What was with this guy? Did he take a damn thing seriously? Nothing but a flirt. She could tell ALREADY that, that was all this bastard thought about…douche. Friends with him? Yeaaaah sure. All that would do was slow down her studies. She was here to learn and do her best!

"Well, see you around Kami." He said, patting her shoulder and winking.

Oh…that jerk…

"Hey wait a second Albarn." She said with a grin.

He turned around with a delighted grin. "Yesss?" he asked hopefully.

"Come a little closer." She said still cheerfully. NOW Spirit was thrilled.

He leaned in rather closely to her face.

…

"Kaaaaamiiii CHOP!" she shouted, smashing her book into the top of his head, leaving a book shaped dent in it.

He fell to the ground for a moment, groaning in pain. Kami growled and the rest of the class laughed hysterically at the sight. "That's for messing around!" Kami said.

Spirit finally stood to his feet shakily and looked ill for a moment before looking at her again with a smile, and then, much to Kami's irritation, Spirit burst into laughter. "Man, you really got me! You're a feisty one!" he said before walking off.

Kami sat there seething. "Grrrr…..I'll kill him!" she growled underneath her breath.

That Spirit Albarn…what an idiot…and yet…

There seemed to be something in those teal eyes…something more than how he acted on the outside…

(A/N: Yahoo! First chapter! :D I love Spirit; he's a great character and incredibly fun to write! More chapters coming soon! :D )
