Chapter 2 - The Dependent

It was only the second class and Junko's mind was already wandering. While the teacher talked Junko's thoughts wandered, she didn't even bother looking at the teacher. Still Junko went unnoticed, which is how Junko liked it. It wasn't until the somebody walked in that Junko broke from her thought. Junko looked to see a girl standing in the doorway, to Junko nothing stood out with this girl. She had long blonde hair that she held in a pony tail, her bangs covering some of her soft blue eyes. Yeah, nothing stuck out, well except for the metal left arm.

"Isabella Elric, you're late again," the teacher lectured.

"Yup," the girl replied holding a smirk that disgusted Junko.

"Just take your seat," the teacher sneered. Junko watched as the girl walked to her seat, Junko cursed to herself when she saw the girl take the seat right next to Junko. The teacher then continued but instead of Junko's mind wandering off, it was stuck on the girl next to her, especially the metal arm.

"Take a picture it'll last longer," the girl sneered. Junko flinched, she didn't even realize that she was staring.

"Sorry," Junko mumbled turning away. Not another word was said by the girl, that is until after class.

The girl stood up from her desk as the class began to leave. "Hey," the girl called.

Junko turned, "huh?"

"You new here?" The girl asked, "I've never seen you here before."

"Yeah," Junko mumbled keeping her eyes on her desk.

The girl began to snicker, "you've been staring at me all class now you want to stare at the desk." Junko said nothing, the girl then smacked her hand on Junko's head, pushing it back, bring Junko's eye contact up to her. "Hey, I'm Isabella Elric, but you can call me Bella. I'm not the best influence but I'm fun to be around." Junko stared at the girl, something about the way the girl smiled was so inviting, Junko couldn't help but smile.

Junko grabbed her bag standing up, "Junko Okumura," Junko said confidently.

"Junko, hmm I'm going to call you by June," Bella stated.

"Huh, why?" Junko asked.

"Life 's to short for full names," Bella said as she walked out of the classroom, leaving Junko alone and confused. She came to school, set on making it through alone, but Junko was pretty sure that she had just made two friends on her first day. At least she thinks they're friends, Junko wasn't sure what made people friends she never really has any experience.

Junko ran down the hall until she found her next class, gym, why people needed a class to run around confused Junko. When she ran in she saw a bunch of kids in sweat pants and T-shirts, this confused Junko more. However it was one kid in particular that caught her attention, Bella.

"Junko Okumura," the teacher called.

"Yes," Junko replied.

"Do you not have gym cloths?" The teacher asked.

Junko looked back at the kids then back at the teacher, "gym clothes?"

"Did you last school not have gym class?"

Junko was silent, did he not know that she was home school? Did all schools have a gym class? Why did you need special clothes for it? "Um...no." Junko finally said.

"Well tomorrow bring some clothes you wouldn't mind getting dirty, they have to be different from you school clothes," He explained.

"Um, okay," Junko mumbled.

"June!" A voice exclaimed, Junko turned to see Bella.

"Oh, hi Isabella," Junko muttered.

"Dude, seriously, call me Bella I prefer it," Bella said. Junko said nothing as she shifted uncomfortably. "Hey, I could help but over hear you, did your last school seriously not have a gym class, you looked so confessed," Bella chuckled.

"Um, no I was home schooled," Junko explained.

"Oh," Bella mumbled rubbing the back of her head, "that explains a lot. Must be kinda hard to just jump into this kind of crap."

"Yeah, a real pain in my tailed ass," Junko chuckled unaware of what was said.

"Huh?" Bella asked.

Junko jumped just releasing what she said, "oh nothing, it's just an expression my family uses."

"Oh, hey don't be a shame if you family's a bit strange, so is mine, a lot of people here have strange families!" Bella said.

"Highly doubt it's as strange as mine," Junko mumbled.

"Huh?" Bella asked.

"Oh, nothing!" Junko exclaimed.
