Harmonica High

Summary: Akari and her three siblings moved a lot due to their father's career. So none of them have had a chance to make good friends at school. So now that their father has finally found a permanent station, they now have a permanent school. Will Akari, Hikari, Takeru, and Yuuki finally have a chance to make long lasting friends in Castanet at Harmonica High?

(A/N) This is my first Fanfic so please be kind :D

(In case some of you can't pronounce their names, here they are broken down. Ah-Kar-Ree, Heh-Kar-Ree, Tah-Keh-Roo, and Yoo-Kee.) By the way, Akari is the female character in Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility and Takeru is the male character. Yuuki and Hikari are the newer male and female characters in Harvest Moon Animal Parade. This story will mainly be in Akari's point of view, however, it will be in other characters point of view if the situation calls for it.

Chapter One: First day at Harmonica High

Akari P.O.V.

"Oh honey I bet you can't wait to start your first day at high school!" My mom said while trying to fix my younger brother's hair before we left for school.

"Yeeah reeaal excited" my brother Takeru said with sarcasm heavy in his voice.

"Don't give me lip. Now you four have a good day! I love you all." My mom made her way around giving each of us a kiss.

We all walked out the front door of our new house that felt we had done this a thousand times. But this time was different. We would actually be staying at this school. I smiled at the thought of having my own clique that I would sit with at lunch just like what I saw in movies. I looked to my left and walking beside me was my older brother Yuuki. He had straight brown hair with two cowlicks sticking straight up. He had deep brown eyes and was quite tall and handsome. If he were not my brother, I might even find him attractive. Eww. New thought. I then looked to my right and saw my younger sister Hikari. She had a kind of bob but it was much cuter. The ends of her light brown hair curled inward. She had a single cowlick that curled slightly back just like me and my younger brother Takeru. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. I guess he was really nervous about starting high school. Even though he was a freshman, I noticed that he was taller than Hikari and almost as tall as me. Then I looked down at my feet and thought if anyone couldn't tell we were siblings, us all having the same brown hair and same brown eyes, then I would consider them really stupid. Well if there was one thing Hikari and I could count on, it was that neither of us could even dream to be as tall as Yuuki. I watched our feet as we all walked to the same destination. I then realized that we were lined up youngest to oldest. Takeru being fourteen and a freshman. Hikari being fifteen and a sophomore. Me being sixteen and a junior. Then Yuuki being seventeen and a senior.

"Oh god I feel like I'm going to hurl" Takeru said grudgingly as we arrived at the front door of the high school.

"Shut up you baby" Yuuki said

"It's really not that bad Takeru. You'll only feel like that the first few days. Then after that you'll start loving high school" Hikari said happily with wrapping her arm around Takeru.

"Oh yeah you'll love it!" I began sarcastically while Yuuki went "Oh God"

"You're gonna love when all the juniors and seniors dunk your head in to toilet and give you several swirlies! You're also gonna love when they hang you by your underwear on your locker! And you're gonna adore when they all start calling you a wonderful name that will become your only identity in the school!" I finished with a cheery smile and giving him a pat on the back. If he looked like he saw a ghost before, he now looked like he saw an undead army. I turned and my gaze met Hikari's fierce scolding glare. I quickly turned around and patted Takeru harder on the back.

"Geez just kidding bro. You don't have to take things so seriously" I said before turning around and sticking my tongue out at Hikari to which she responded with a rather rude gesture with her middle finger.

"Real mature you two" Yuuki said while grinning and rolling his eyes.

"Well, are we ready?" I said and my brothers and sister responded with a nod. Yuuki and I opened the front doors and Hikari and Takeru walked in. We followed while exchanging 'Why couldn't we have gotten sick today?' look.

We took in our surroundings with awe. This school seemed very small on the outside but it was actually kind of big on the inside. The lockers were a royal blue color and they completely covered the halls. Several students walked by us and looked at us like we were stupid. Now that I thought about it, a couple of new kids just standing in the middle of the hallway gawking at everything probably did look stupid.

"Can I help you four?" said a voice from behind us. We all whipped around looked at what appeared to be a teacher. He had a grayish, blondish, brownish color of hair. Most of the right side of it was in a braid while the other side covered his left eye. His skin was tan and he had a very intelligent aura around him. I hope I don't have him because he seems like the kind of teacher that would make me feel very stupid if I said the wrong answer in class. His right eye was a bright green and he wore black rectangular glasses which of course one side was covered by hair.

"Err...well we're all kinda new here so if you could help us around, that would just be peachy" said Yuuki

He looked at us all and seemed to be analyzing us.

"Let me see your schedules." Yuuki, Takeru, and I took out our schedules and handed them to him. Hikari on the other hand just kept looking at his face looking extremely flushed.

"Hikari? Your schedule?" Takeru said while prodding her in the side.

"Huh? Oh yeah..." She said while taking out her schedule which she handed to him trying not to meet his gaze. This was just too rich. I giggled and smirked knowingly at her. She looked me with the most murderous gaze ever. I quickly looked back the teacher.

"Alright you four...follow me..." He said slowly which caused Takeru and me to exchange a 'What the hell?' look.

We followed him to what appeared to be his office and stood around his desk while he sat down. He looked at all our schedules while looking at each of us. I read a plaque on his desk that read 'Mr. Wizard.' When he looked at Hikari she met his gaze for a moment then quickly looked away, a pint tint to her cheeks.

"Alright Mr. Yuuki, you have Mr. Calvin as your homeroom teacher. Ms. Hikari-" She turned an ever brighter pink "-you have Ms. Phoebe. Mr. Takeru, you have Ms. Witch." 'Okay what about me?' I thought

"And Ms. Akari... you have me" He said with a pleasantly evil smile.

'You have to be kidding me.'

I smiled back with fake enthusiasm and I felt Hikari's eyes burning into the side of my head.

'Do I dare look at her? Nah...'

"Akari, I will have someone from your class come down to escort you while I help your brothers and sister." He turned in his black leather computer and turned on an intercom. He then pressed a button that apparently went to a certain classroom.

"Mr. Hamilton? ...You are needed in my office" He said into the intercom and a male voice replied "Yes sir. Be right- Luke quit that!" Then Mr. Wizard tsked and turned off the intercom. I waited outside of the office for whoever was supposed to escort me. I looked down the hall way and saw a bunch of heads. Then one head of hair popped out from the mass. I then saw the owner of the hair, it was a boy. His hair was a very light blonde and combed to go to the shape of his head except the ends with curled out. He also had a cowlick that curled back. He appeared to be taller than me who wore a black uniform. The top was adorned silver buttons. The tie was an emerald green and the bottoms were rolled up neatly so that his black dress shoes were very much seen. As he came closer, I saw his eyes, which were shade of pure vibrant azure. He was, in two words, sophisticated and breathtaking. I found myself staring and when he looked at me, I looked away. He started walking toward me and I started mentally panicking.

'Oh God, he saw me staring and now he's coming over to give me a piece of his mind' I thought guiltily

But to my relief, he walked right past me and into Mr. Wizard's office. He walked out not even ten seconds later and looked at me again.

"Hello there. I'm Gill. I'm your escort." He said with a slight smile and extended his hand. I suddenly found it very hard to talk and move. I cleared my throat.

"Hello. I'm Akari." I said back quieter than I intended. I took his hand and shook it, which caused my hand to feel all warm and tingly.

"You know, it would have nice if you would have said something from the beginning before I walked into the office." He said suddenly letting go of my hand.

"Well you might have not been my escort. So I would have sounded stupid if I just asked any random kid walking toward this office if they were my escort, don't you think?" I said almost immediately. His attitude was starting to quickly change my mood.

"Considering I am the only student-" he emphasized on student. I guess he didn't like being called kid. "to walk to this office after Mr. Wizard called for an escort, then it would have just been safe to assume that I was your escort." He responded almost as quickly as I did.

"Like I-" I began before he held up his hand to stop me from talking

"Let's just get to class. Unlike some people, I actually want to make something of myself" He said before turning around to walk away. I looked after him in disbelief. What the hell was up with this kid?

'All. Happiness. Gone.' I thought before saying 'Jerk' under my breath and walking after him.

I followed him through the many turns in the hall. Maybe I should have tried to memorize where we were going but I was still thinking about how much of a jerk this kid was until finally we were at the classroom door. He opened it and surprisingly held it open for me. Whatever, that still doesn't make up for what he said. I walk in to a class of about twenty students.

"Hey Gill! Who's that?" called a blue haired boy with his hair tied back in a flame design bandana. From behind his desk, there was a girl looking up too. She had her blonde hair tied up in a pony tail and she had pretty sea foam green eyes. The blue haired boy had golden eyes that reminded me a lot of cat eyes.

"New student Luke" Gill said bored as he sat down in the desk to Luke's left. Jerk just left me in the front of the class standing like an idiot.

"Hey new chick! Here's an empty desk right here. Come sit here!" Luke said pointing to the desk to his right. I smiled at him thankfully.

"Thanks." I said shooting an evil look at Gill. But he had his eyes glued a journal he was writing in.

"So what's your name? Mine's Kathy." Said the blonde girl in the desk behind Luke.

"Akari. And what's yours?" I asked Luke

"My name is Luke. Awesome name isn't it? Makes you feel AWESOME!" he said as he jumped up on his desk suddenly and pumped his fist into the air. I giggled at his antics. I saw Gill look at me from the corner of my eye.

"Luke, get off of your desk." Gill said, looking back at his journal. Luke stuck his tongue out at Gill

"Killjoy" Luke, Kathy, and I all said in unison.

"What is taking Mr. Wizard so long?" Gill said, completely ignoring us

"He's helping my brothers and sister" I said watching Luke make a dramatic jump off his desk.

"Sister eh? How old is she?" Luke said with sudden interest

"Sixteen. Why?"

"Ooh. Is she hot? If she looks anything like you, then she's definitely a cutie." Luke said with a mischievous grin

"How the hell would I know? I'm not a guy. And shut up you flirt" I said giggling "And leave her alone unless you want my brother coming after you." Luke gave me a 'yeah right' look. I got out of my desk and stood up on tippy toes while gesturing how tall my brother was. Which was definitely taller than Luke. Luke's eyes widened.

"Still wanna mess with my sister?" I said looking at him

"Sister? What sister?" Luke said with a grin while shrugging.

It was then Mr. Wizard walked in. He walked up to the chalkboard and started writing down what we had to do. Homework on the first day of school? What the hell? Ugh, this is gonna be a looong year.

(A/N) So did you like the first chapter? Suggestions? Questions? Please review! Also I was thinking of making other chapters from the points of view of Hikari, Takeru, and Yuuki on their first day.
