Highschool sucks
Edward slung his backpack over his shoulder, "Al! Hurry up!" he yelled impatiently. His mother Trisha handed him a bagel slathered with cream cheese and Al walked downstairs. Al looked over at his brother with an exasperated expression, "You really should get more patience, brother." Ed snorted, "Stop acting like a guru Al, you don't know everything." Al just shook his head at his brother, "So are we going to get Winry?"
Edward blushed a bit, but hid it, "Of course, don't we every day? Lets go!" He stomped onward out the door, bagel in hand. Al face palmed, "Bye mom!" he ran out the door after Ed, and into a sunny Resembool. It was late summer, seeing as they had just ended summer vacation. Today would be another day in highschool, but as seniors. The power felt so good, they were going to make the small new Freshman eat dirt. It was the initiation, that had been passed down the high school for generations (as Armstrong would say).
They tracked along the grassy fields, eventually reaching Winry's house. Al, was prepared to knock. Ed, on the other hand, barged right in, "Winry lets go!"
A wrench flew threw the open door and smacked Ed in the face, "You don't tell me what to do, Elric!" an angry Winry's voice came booming out the door. She walked out and picked up her wrench, putting it in her bag. Walking defiantly away, Winry looked back, "Well are you coming, or what?"
Al and Ed glanced at her with a scared expression, but followed none the less. It was a short walk to school, and the school-yard outside of it was full of eager high-schoolers. Casually walking up to Lin Yao, Lan Fan, Scar, and May, he slapped Lin on the back, "What up squinty?" Lin glowered at him, but then glomped him, "FRIEND!"
"ACK GET OFF ME!" Ed spat with the last of his breath, seeing as the hug was fighting off all chances to get a breath. Winry and Lan Fan walked off to talk about 'girl things' and May zoomed after them. May astounded everyone, she was a senior, who was supposed to be lazy, and she zoomed around with the speed of a 2nd grader.
The Resembool school district wasn't huge, seeing as it was such a small town. This smaller stature meant a simpler array of teachers, there wasn't really that many. Izumi was the english teacher, while Van Hoenheim taught science. Math was taught by some random guy named Lao. He had just moved here a couple years ago, so nobody knew him, and he always seemed a bit shady. History had Alexander Armstrong's father as the teacher, and that class was always dreaded as the shirtless Armstrong class, you don't want to know. Art and Music were taught by the same teacher, a girl from central named Tatsii, though they all called her Ms. Wren, seeing as that was her last name.
Edward finally fought off Lin, only to be glomped by someone else, Alexander Armstrong.
"My friend! How I've missed you with an emotion that has been passed down the Armstrong family for GENERATIONS!"
Ed gagged and struggled against the hold, finally managing to break free, "Too... Many... Hugs..." He said, shivering and rocking back and forth in an insecure ball on the ground. Al stared at his brother, "Nonsense!" And then, Al hugged him too.
"OH. MY. GOD. GET OFF ME!" Ed yelled and ran away, climbing up a tree like a cat. His brother skipped after him and Scar was left standing with May, Lin, and... Armstrong. Havoc, of all people then walked up with Maes Hughes, and Roy Mustang. They all looked over at the feuding Elric brothers, before just continuing with introductions of 'hello' and what they did over the summer and crap like that.
The school bell wrung, and they all filed inside loudly, all still chattering. Ed was pouting from Al, and Winry was just talking to Lan Fan and May. Flyers on the walls told them where they would go for a home-room class, where they would then receive their schedules. Al and Ed were both in Izumi's class, "Great, hell knows I'll get on her bad side before the day is done." Ed moped and stalked into her classroom.
