She reluctantly came into the class; shyly she gave us an introduction,

"Hi, my name is Summer. I came here from the east."

For whatever odd reason, the way she emphasized 'summer' made me want to know more about her. I could almost feel a warm summer breeze. My stomach was in knots again.

Mrs. Izumi pointed in my direction, "You can have a seat next to Edward, don't worry he doesn't bite" she said teasingly.

Honestly I haven't been this excited since Winry's surprised birthday party. She shyly made her way over in my direction recognizing me from this morning. As she made came to her seat, I heard various sneers from all over the room, the most common one, "Poor girl"

Summer's POV

I had no clue what I was doing, that introduction was so…plain. I really hate being put on the spot like that. God, I feel like such an idiot. Who cares that I came from the east, why did I even mention it? There was virtually no one to impress. Well, except that guy, Edward. He's a bit odd though. Ed seems like a bit of a loner. I really hope he's not mean; he's going to my year long lab-partner. I actually pitied the abnormally short boy. Mrs. Izumi told me that he's never had a lab partner before, so I guess he really is a loner. I felt bad for thinking that way, but I honestly couldn't think of a more accurate name. On the whole height issue, from far away he looks tall, but as you scoot closer you can see how tiny he really is. I mean, I'm practically the same height as he is! Most guys are around 5"5 or taller right?

As far as this class goes, it's relatively active. There are a lot of hands on learning activities, so I ought to try and be friendlier with Edward.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you" I smiled meekly "Sorry about running away earlier"

He looked at me in an odd manor; I couldn't tell if he was annoyed or excited

"Oh, uhh, it's all cool. But I think I should be the one to apologize. Do you wanna join me and some friends for lunch?" his voice trailed off silently. He looked like he was going to say something else, but Mrs. Izumi had instructed us to clean up since class was ending within a matter of minutes.

A boy with pale skin walked up to my desk

"Hello there," he said smirking, he oozed charm "My name is Roy Mustang, since you are the new student; I feel it is my duty, as class president, to give you a tour of our school."

I felt a bit flattered and my face was flushing from pink to red very quickly, all I could say was "Uh..."

Edward looked at me angry. But then he looked at Roy and sneered

"I don't think so," Ed growled "I'll be giving her a tour"

Roy frowned "What makes you think, Fullmetal, that you of all people deserve this great honor?"

Soon some of what appeared to be Roy's friends or lackeys, I couldn't tell their relationship, came up. A rather timid looking boy with rather large glasses opened a handbook

"Rule 42 of Student Government: Those who are not involved or associated with the SGA, may not give tours to new students" The timid boy coughed before finishing "Therefore, Ed, you have no authority. I strongly suggest you back down."

Ed gave a disapproving look, "Shouldn't it be her choice? Where's Freedom of the People? Plus she'd be more comfortable with me, since I have Winry!"

"We have Hawkeye," Roy retorted

Ed chuckled "Mustang, you and I both know, Hawkeye is no where near as social able as Win"

Roy gave a defeated look "Fine." Roy and his friends left.

I blinked in disbelief, "What just happened? Why was that Roy guy making such a big deal out of that?"

"For a number of reasons, but I'm only really sure about two. One is to boost his popularity, and two to make Riza Hawkeye jealous. So she'll date him"

All I could say was "Oh" as the bell rang; we walked to his locker, where another boy and girl were waiting.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Al, Ed's younger brother. This is Winry," He said pointing to the girl.

"So, which one of you is dating Winry?" I asked curiously. Both Edward and Al looked embarrassed, Winry just blushed furiously.

"It's not like that at all!" Ed and Al said in unison. Winry looked a bit hurt.

I giggled, so far school seems fun. I think I just made some new friends..

Ed's POV

Lunch was too short; I wish it had lasted longer. Although I hardly talked at all, it was mainly Win and Al bombarding Summer with questions. At the moment, I'm at home, in bed. I wasn't in the mood for the rest of the school day, so I just left. Al and Winry always scolded me about skipping, but it didn't bother me. They knew they couldn't stop me from skipping. No one could.

I liked being home alone though, time went slower, and I liked that. It felt as if there was more time to think. I had a picture of mom in my room, and I usually talked to her picture. It made me feel better, as if she was listening to all my problems..

"Mom, today for the first time, I had this weird feeling in my stomach. Like it was in knots and I don't know why. I met this girl today. Her name is Summer, and she has these really plain eyes, that just seem to draw me in. And her hair, mom, it's a little longer then mine, but not by much. But it reminds me of the ocean, the way it moves in the wind. I've only known her for a few hours, but I feel like I've known her for years." dumbfounded at what I just said, I turned to look at mom's photo. "What the hell is wrong with me?"

My thoughts traced back to today's event in science, boy did Mustang piss me off. He's such a bastard. Just thinking about him made my blood boil. I was hungry for revenge. I turned to look at my alarm, 'I have a few hours to kill till Al gets home, why not get revenge indirectly?' I smirked

I looked under my bed, I knew I had it somewhere 'Aha, there it is' I pulled out a can of half used red spray paint. Perfect.

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. Also I would like to note there may be some slight EdWin, since Ed is trying to figure his feelings out. I wonder what Ed has in mind? You'll find out next chapter!
