Phantom: Okay, I've had this written up for a few days, and now I finally figured out what to name the story. It's obviously not written in third person this time. Naw, I just changed it back into first person, since it'll be less confusing when I write it that way. But as for the disclaimer, I'm only going to put it in the first chapter and then that's it. I really don't think you should have to write disclaimers on this site at all, seeing as it stresses FANFICTION. But alas, I'm just covering all my bases, in case something happens.

It was a normal/ typical morning. At least for me. I woke up alone in my dorm room, since nobody wanted to be my roommate. Or roommates, I should say, since we could easily make another makeshift bed out of the couch. Each dorm room consisted of one huge bedroom, with two beds, two dressers, and two desks. There was also a walk-in closet that had to be shared for the really good clothing, like suits and dresses (for the girls) and what not. There was then a living room/ kitchen area. Each dorm room had it's own kitchen because of some incident with food allergy when the dorms had one kitchen that the whole building had to share. I don't remember the details.
Either way, that was the basic layout. Now as I said before, nobody wanted to be my roommate(s). Since each dorm room was allowed three people tops. I'm not sure who came up with that rule, considering the amount of things for each roomie person. I think it was the Headmaster who came up with it. He was an utter idiot, when it came to these things. But then again, he let me get away with my own style, so I can't say I hate him. Not to mention, I had a whole dorm room to myself. Though that was lonely sometimes.
Well, as I was saying before I got distracted explaining things, I went through my usual morning routine. Get up, make bed so I won't be tempted to fall asleep again, take a quick shower, get dressed, make breakfast, gather school stuff, head off to school. The usual. Considering my hair fell to my waist, I was actually quite practiced in taking quick showers. Ten minutes tops. As for my clothing for the day, the school I attended required a uniform. Or it was strictly uniform.... Either way, we had to have uniforms. On went the black blouse, tan knee length skirt, matching black stockings, and gray vest. Then I carefully and neatly tied the navy blue and silver striped tie, tucking it into my vest, and for the finishing touch, the brown ankle high boots that all the girls had to wear with their uniforms. Just for the hell of it, I pulled my hair behind my head into two low ponytails, and then put some clear lip gloss on my lips. I didn't really go that excessive with make-up unless I was going off school grounds. Then it was grabbing my school bag and off to class.
Did I mention that I'm a guy?
I made it through a majority of my morning classes, heading to my last one before I had lunch period. That was when my normal day became different. Though I'm not quite sure if that was a good thing or not. Class had just started after I took my seat, oh the joys of history, when the loud speaker came to life.
"Would Orin Starlit please report to the Headmaster's office, Orin Starlit please report to the Headmaster's office? Thank you."
I blinked, my mind catching up for two seconds before I started moving. I gathered up my books, grabbing my bag, before having the teacher sign me a pass. Luckily no preps or jocks were in my history class, thus I didn't have to hear any mocking whispers. Everyone in the school knew I was a guy, who willingly dressed as a girl. The Headmaster even allowed it. Apparently, the mentioned clique groups hated me for it, calling me a whore and fag. And a bunch of other names. Either way, I held my head up high, walking all the way to the office, where I was greeted by the secretary, a nice lady. She understood me way better than any of my peers. Then again, I had been attending this school system for a while and I had absolutely no friends. "The Headmaster'll see you now, sweetie." she winked at me, offering a comforting smile.
I nodded, walking past her desk to the doors on the other side of the office, opening them enough to slip into the room beyond. I don't understand why the Headmaster's office had two doors as the entrance, but I'm not one to judge. Apparently I wasn't noticed, since I entered so quietly. There were a total of five people in the room, if you don't include the Headmaster, or me. There were two men, each sitting in a chair in front of the desk, dressed in suits and all. They looked pretty dashing, in my opinion. No, I'm not gay! But I do appreciate good looks. Sitting on one of the men's laps, the one with longer hair, was a girl, around eleven or twelve years old. She was all dolled up in the school uniform for those in the middle school. See the school here consists of an elementary (no dorms), and middle school (no dorms either), and the high school (mandatory dorms). The middle school had the same basic uniform as the high school, except the skirt is shorter. Leaning against the wall near the shorter haired man were two teen boys, both wearing the high school uniform for boys, though they wore the clothing messily, with a few punk accessories added in. One had long blond hair, while the other had shorter black hair. The boys seemed to be arguing with the man nearest to them, while the girl and other man were talking to the Headmaster.
I cleared my throat, my legs crossed at the ankles. I stood off to the side of the door, in case somebody had to come in. The Headmaster, a man well into his thirties, with slicked back brown hair that reached his shoulders, tied back into a low ponytail, with rectangular glasses, cheerful green eyes, and pale skin, smiled brightly at me. Nobody had really noticed me entering. I plastered a smile onto my face, seeming to appear actually happy. You learn how to bluff expressions when you have a lot of time on your hands. "What is it you wanted to see me for, Headmaster?" I asked. Now I passed for a girl all the time, back when I still wore men's clothing. Apparently despite having hit puberty for the most part, my voice still sounded feminine. And now, unless I told you, everybody thought I was a girl. "Ah, Rin-chan! We have some new students joining the schools. This is Miss Road Camelot," here he paused to gesture at the girl before continuing, "And the twins are Mr. Debitto Mikk and Mr. Jasdero Mikk. Miss Camelot will be attending the middle school, while the twins will be attending the high school. Would you be as kind as to escort Miss Camelot over to the middle school, and then show the twins around to their classes?" he asked. I nodded, smile still on my face. "I would love to. Shall we leave now, or is there still some business to attend to?" I asked.
The shorter haired man spoke up, "Would it be alright if the kids went on ahead? We still have a few things to sort out." I curtsied briefly, before opening the doors and waiting for the twins and Road. They walked out in front of me, well actually, Road was skipping, and the twins were obviously agitated. I followed after them with a steady walk, like I had taught myself. "If you don't mind me asking, who were those men in the office?" I asked as we left the office entirely, entering on of the deserted hallways. That question seemed to set off the twins. Well, not set off to say, but it definitely angered them even more. Either they didn't like me, or they didn't like the men in the office. They seemed like nice people though...
Road smiled widely, showing all her teeth. "That was my papa, the one with long hair, and Tyki my uncle, the one with short hair. Tyki is Jasdebi's guardian, so they don't have a choice where they go to school." she answered, before sticking her tongue out at the twins. Said twins growled at her, before the dark haired one, I think his name was Debitto, lunged at her, missing by a few inches. Road laughed and skipped over to my side. I clapped my hands together. "Why don't we drop you off at the middle school first, since you can't really come to class with us?" I suggested to Road, who looked up at me with a smile. She nodded and I turned to the right, taking a long corridor, with the new students following me. The twins sulked silently. I get the feeling they didn't usually sulk quietly.
We arrived at the middle school shortly, and managed to find the teacher Road would have had at this hour. Luckily I hadn't missed lunch. By the time the twins and I got back to the high school section, it would be lunch time. Score, I got to skip history! We, meaning only me, waved goodbye to Road before we headed off. I directed the three of us to the cafeteria, where we got our lunches early and headed outside, while the other students just started to rush in. I say that's lucky. Once I found a suitable tree to sit under, I did just that, careful of my skirt. Jasdero sat right next to Debitto, who sat a few feet away from me. After a few minutes of silently eating, I glanced over at the twins, who had already finished eating. "So...." I started, grabbing their attention. "I guess we should do proper introductions." I placed my lunch tray nearby. "My name is Orin Starlit. Though everybody just calls me Rin."
Finally, the boys stopped brooding. Debitto sneered, his twin following suit. "I'm Debitto-" he started, "And I'm Jasdero, hii!" the blond continued. "And together we're Jasdebi!" the finished together. I was impressed. Though maybe that's just a twin thing. "Well, now that that's out of the way, could I see you schedules? It'd help if I knew what classes you have after this, not to mention where your lockers and dorms are. Since the Headmaster didn't plan out where everything goes in this school very well when he made it...." I sighed. While the Headmaster was nice and never judging, sometimes he was a bit of an airhead. Debitto scowled at me for a bit before looking at Jasdero, who handed over both pieces of paper. I glanced them over.
Would you look at that? They have the same exact classes as I do. Though their lockers were on the other end of the hallway mine was on. A further look showed that they would be in the same dorm as me. I squinted at the room number, since the Headmaster had written it down. Well, I wasn't expecting that. "Wow." I stated.
Jasdero leaned over my shoulder, having come closer to me. "What is it, hii?" he asked, Debitto's attention being caught as well. I looked up at him, my purple eyes meeting his blue ones for a brief moment. "We have all the same classes. We're also gonna be roommates." I gave a quirky grin. "But you're a girl!" he pointed at me, glaring. Hmmmm, how to approach this...
A slightly fanged grin took over my face. So my canines were a bit longer than normal, big deal. It was a good thing when I had to bite people. Besides, people don't really notice them unless I make them noticeable. "I am a very good cross dresser, Debi-chan~!" I snickered. Both twins had their eyes widen, before Debitto growled at me. Jasdero simply scowled. It was obvious they were holding back. I had a feeling they could be a lot more vulgar and that they usually were. It was going to be interesting to see how the rest of the day, no, the rest of the school year went.
Phantom-NorthStar: Okay, well that's the first chapter. How do you guys like it? Though in my opinion it's kinda hard to pin down Orin's personality. Besides the fact that he kinda fakes being happy. Well, hope to at least get some reviews. ;P See ya all next chapter!
