"TWINS!" A loud squeal was heard, along with running footsteps.
It was Michelle, the pink-clad magician who worked at a restaurant when she wasn't in the school.
She ran up to the two, a big grin on her face.
"I'm Michelle! I know we'll be great friends!" She introduced herself.
"Too much pink, don't ya think?" Ivy quietly asked her sister.
She only shrugged.
"Come on! You're sitting with me!"
"Wha...? WAAAAAAIIIIT!" Ivy exclaimed as Michelle grabbed one of her hands, dragging her to her seat.
Rose stood, nervously looking around for an empty seat.
'Oh, why didn't Ivy stay? There's no empty seats, either. I'll just...have to sit with someone then...Ooh! What about this one?' She grinned to herself when she noticed Neil's seat, which he usually sat alone at.
Neil noticed her walking towards his seat and thought about maybe telling her not to, but he stayed silent.
"...I'm sorry if I bother you in any way. Don't worry, I don't plan on making this my permanent seat." She apologized silently.
"You better not." He only huffed, looking out the window as the bus started up again.
"Hey, Neil! You're so lucky you have a twin sitting next to you! I'm jealous!" Rose heard someone call out.
'I guess Neil's the person I'm sitting next to... He doesn't seem so nice...'
"If you want her to sit with you, go ahead, Rod." The blonde retorted as he took his gaze off of the window and was now looking at him.
"Really?!"
"No." He then looked back towards the window.
'I thought he didn't want me sitting next to him...'
"Come on, Neil!"
"You've got Allen sitting next to you, idiot."
As she heard the argument, Rose finally decided to look over to see just who Neil was talking to.
She noticed a boy with light blonde hair and light blue eyes, along with goggles sitting at a seat across from them. Next to him sat a boy with dark red hair and dark blue eyes, along with glasses.
"H-hi..." She waved nervously towards the two.
"Hey! I'm Rod! It's great meeting ya!" The blonde with goggles waved back, grinning.
"I'm Allen. Nice to meet you." The redhead gave her a smile as he adjusted his glasses.
Thanks to their kind introductions, Rose felt assured this would be a good school year and smiled.
"...It's great to meet you, too!"
After their short discussion, she looked out from the seat and noticed Ivy looking out as well. She sat next to Michelle.
While the magician wasn't looking, Ivy pointed to her and with her other hand, made a circling motion near her ear.
"She's crazy!" She mouthed, an annoyed look on her face.
"That's your problem." Rose mouthed back, slightly giggling.
"So, Rose!" She looked back across the seat to see Rod trying to start a conversation.
"You like pets?" He asked.
"Yep. I really like dogs, though! They're great company." She replied with a nod.
"Ha, me too! They're really energetic, don't ya think?" He started with a chuckle and grinned.
"More energetic than Ivy, at least. My father told me he'd get me one for my birthday!" She grinned back.
Ivy was the complete opposite of Rose. When anything had to do with work, she'd always back out and refuse. Rose did anything, including work, yet no matter how much she'd help her sister, Ivy still refused to do any work.
"Say, did you get a schedule of the classes?" Allen asked, taking his out of his bag.
"Yep! We got ours in the mail." She nodded, taking hers out and showing it to him.
The redhead smiled to himself as he examined both of their schedules.
"Seems like we have the same classes." He stated, handing hers back.
"R-really? That sounds cool, actually!" Rose smiled.
'I guess I'll be seeing Allen often!'
"I'll walk you to our classes until you get used to the school, how about it?" He offered with a reassuring smile.
"You do know that all four of us have the same schedule, right?" Neil growled before she could answer, still glancing at the window.
"And most of the others in the bus do, too..." Rod added.
"Eh? Do I hear Neil wanting to show Rose around?" Allen asked playfully with a laugh, completely ignoring Rod.
'Why's that so funny...?' She wondered, giving a small glance over at the blonde.
"Shut up, Allen!" He snapped back, now turning his head and glaring at him.
"...Is that...bad?" Rose asked, oblivious of the joke.
"If you knew Neil like we do, you'd be laughing with us." Allen pointed out.
"Oh...I just...thought I was embarassing to be around..." She muttered, now playing with her fingers.
"You? Embarassing to be around?" The redhead asked, his eyes widening.
"No way! You're really nice for someone that's embarassing to be around!" Rod reassured her.
'I just met these two and they're showering me with compliments already? I'll get used to this school in no time!' She smiled to herself, a small blush on her cheeks.
Before she could speak, the bus entered the school gates and everyone started to chatter excitedly.
The doors then opened and Allen grabbed Rose's hand, leading her out.
When the two got out of the bus, Rose paused to look at the big school in front of her.
'Echo Town High.
This is just the beginning!'
I like how I make the unimportant things seem important. You know, like nobody cares about the bus ride to school or anything like that, but I sort of stretch it out and feel great about it! If anybody's confused to what's happening in the next chapters or so, I'll explain, since it's based on my school. I'm being serious when I say this, but I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS ACTUALLY HEARD OF HARVEST MOON IN MY SCHOOL. Except for my science teacher, but he's from where they make the series. He told me that anyone has barely heard of Harvest Moon because it was taken over by Animal Crossing. In my opinion, I think Harvest Moon is WAY BETTER, since there's actually a purpose and a story line. Also, most of the time, I'm in school, so if I play Animal Crossing, all the animals would complain about how late I woke up and stuff. As always, reviews are highly appreciated and ideas are accepted! ^^
