Maxx's brown hair hung either side of her face like curtains shielding her emotions from the rest of her math's class. Blues eyes narrowed at the sight of Winry Rockbell. Her small yet skinny body stiffened at the sound of the young blonde giggling.

I glared at Winry, my enemy, as she clung to the older Elric's arm flirting away. If looks could kill, Winry would have been burning at the stake.

She clung to Edward Elric's arm, giggling at his weak attempts to brush her off.

I sat at my desk stabbing my maths book several times with a HB Pencil. I tried to block my ears as Winry continued what she called 'subtle flirting'.

"Oh Ed, stop it." She giggled to him, as Ed attempted to tickle her off.

This made me see red, and my poor defenseless maths book took the punches as I shredded it to pieces.

"Maxx what the hell are you doing to your work?" Mr. Fuery questioned me.

He yelled and cast an annoyed glance at Winry. He tried to get her to pay attention to her test and to stop distracting his top student. Even though I knew the world could be ending with fireballs raining from the sky and buildings crumbling but Ed would still get a A+ on his test.

Not that I had a crush on him or anything...

I looked down at what once used to be my maths test. Which was now confetti. "bloody hell" I cursed as I walked over to my teacher.

"Umm, may I have another copy?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't ask why.

Fuery held out the test refusing to meet my eye. I took it and noticed that several students had started staring at me. I hung my head down making my long hair shield my blush. I wasn't a very social person, pretty shy too.

I sat back down in my chair. People had lost interest by now and were starting to do the test again.

I filled out my name and several maths questions. 'This is easy.' I thought smugly in my mind.

I looked up when I heard Fuery yell. "Roy stop talking! Move!"

"But sir!" whined Roy, the womanizer of the class.

"Move." He pointed to the only other available seat, which so happened to be next to me. 'Great...'

Roy sighed, collected his things and sat next to me. He made sure his books made a loud thwack when they hit the table.

I continued to ignore him as he sat and doodled on his test. After five minutes I could feel his eyes on my test. 'Hey! he's copying my test' I thought, alarmed. 'Stupid idiot' I muttered and moved my paper so he couldn't see it.

I tried to ignore him as he tried to see over my shoulder. 'He was doing this on purpose. The bastard.' I elbowed him in the ribs as a warning.

He winced and tried to make a huge display as if I had just punched him in the face. So over dramatic. It reminded me of soccer players that fall to the ground moaning in pain just to get a free kick. I rolled my eyes and several students, including Ed, laughed.

Fuery's eyes narrowed "MAXX!"

"What..?" I shot back with a little bit of acid.

"Just do the test and stop hurting my students."

"She was copying my test sir," he lied. He then gave me a smug look.

"Stop that Roy. We all know no one in their right mind would copy from you." As the teacher said this I gave Roy my own smug look.

Roy looked hurt and I stifled my laughter. The room fell silent again and I finished the test.

I looked around bored. The only other person who had finished was Ed, who was listening to his ipod and daydreaming.

Roy kept tapping his pencil annoyingly next to me. I turned to him and he smirked.

'Oh crap...' His eyes twinkled slightly. He winked to me and I blushed and looked away. I edged off my seat as his breath whispered in my ear. "Wanna take this to my house?" I flushed even redder. He inched closer. I inched further away. I was barely on my seat. His hand felt up my body and I fell off my chair in surprise. Everyone turned to stare.

Roy looked at me, satisfied. That was his way of payback, the bastard. If it was even possible, my face got redder. As I scrambled to my feet several people laughed. I didn't care about them. It was one voice that made me burst into tears. It was his voice. Edward Elric had laughed at me. I covered my face in my hands and ran, ran away from his face trying not to laugh. But he had accidentally slipped. In the background I could hear Winry's burst of giggles. She clung to Ed's arm so she didn't fall of her chair in amusement.

Tears spilled down my face as I fled out the classroom slamming the door as I went.

But she didn't hear the voice of Edward Elric.

"Guys stop it, it's not funny!" He said annoyed at Winry and yanking his arm from her grasp.

I ran through the empty halls thinking, 'where could I go?' I didn't want to go in the girls bathroom because they were full of chain smokers and slutty girls that ditch to re-apply make up to their powdery faces. I walked into the empty cafeteria. At least, I thought it was. I sat numbly on a seat and brought my knees to my chest sniffling slightly. "Hard day?" I heard from behind me. I turned violently and glared at the figure of Envy

"What's wrong princess?" He said, his black painted nails stroking his long green locks.

"Whats a little smarty pants like you doing ditching?" He said smirking slightly

"Go away Envy" I replied coolly. I was not in the mood for his games.

"Its that blonde slut. isn't it?"

Envy sat down next to me. We were kind of friends. We shared our dislike of the popular slut, Winry. But unlike me, he hated Edward. I don't know what it was about, but he loathed him. He took me under his wing whenever Ed kicked me to the curb. He was my pillow when I needed comforting.

I leaned into his arms and he let my tears ruin his black T-shirt. "Forget about him, you don't need him."

"But I cant... he's my everything"

"No. He's not. He's a selfish pig that takes whatever he wants." I ignored this comment and let Envy comfort me until the bell rang.

He let me go gently. "I gotta go Princess."

"How many times have I told you not to call me that!" I growled annoyed

"Too many, but it's a habit" He grinned down, gave me one last hug and disappeared out the door. Before you could say "lunch" a mass of hungry students filed into the cafeteria.

I watched through red puffy eyes as Ed entered the Cafeteria, Roy and Ling at his flanks.

I laughed when Envy, who was waiting to get out the door, subtly let his foot forward so that the happily skipping Winry fell to the ground in a blonde flurry. Envy smirked at me which made me smile slightly. He then began rushing out the door. Ed stalked after him. In the end though, Ed decided to help Winry instead of bashing Envy to a bloody pulp.
