It is a bright sunny spring day for Rosetta's first day of school at Francoise Dupont Academy. Blinking sleepily in a still unfamiliar room, she sees the time on her blasting alarm clock. In a panic she rushes to get ready then grabs her bag as she runs out the door.
Racing through the stone streets she passes by the Grand Hotel. Going by she sees a small old Chinese man being robbed.
"Hey stop that!" Rosetta runs over separating them with anger burning in her eyes.
The Chinese man and his bag fall not too far from each other. As Rosetta goes to help the man up the thief grabs her arm.
"Well aren't you a cutie." He laughs creepily holding her arm tightly.
"BACK OFF!?" Rosetta breaks free then throws a punch.
The guy catches her arm again, only this time he twists her around. "Feisty too." He whispers in her ear with a bit of excitement in his tone.
He tightens his grip on her wrists causing Rosetta to flinch from pain. As the guy smirks an apple, with a bite in it, hits his head causing him to let go. With the quick release Rosetta falls backwards, near the Chinese man.
"You know… guys like you REALLY piss me off." A forest-green eyed guy steps forward cracking his knuckles, his bag hanging off his shoulder.
"Did you throw that at me?! You little punk!" the mugger charges at the brown haired teen.
The Japanese teen dodges the robber's hits. He keeps blocking and dodging the man's moves. What Rosetta and the old man find interesting is that the teen never throws a punch himself.
Once the robber is worn out the teen moves for a spin kick, stopping just before the mugger's face. The man falls to the ground then crawls off.
"You okay bird brain?" The brown haired guy holds his hand out for Rosetta's.
"Who are you calling a bird brain?!" Rosetta stands furious.
"What else do you call a girl that tries to take on a guy twice her size alone?" The green eyed guy lifts an eyebrow.
"For your information, I had everything under control!" Rosetta huffs.
"Right so being caught in his grip was what? Your idea of lowering his guard?" The guy laughs rolling his eyes.
Puffing her cheeks and glaring at him, Rosetta stumps off. The guy picks up the Chinese man's bag watching the tomboy girl vanish in to the crowd.
"Thank you young man." The Chinese man smiles at him.
"Oh it was nothing, really." The Japanese teen rubs the back of his head as he hands the bag over.
"May I ask why you never throw a punch?" The Chinese lifts an eyebrow.
"My dad raised me to defend first and attack last." The teen rubs the back of his head as he glances at a nearby clock. "Gotta go." He races off seeing the time.
"They seem interesting." The Chinese man strokes his beard.
"They do indeed master." A small green turtle looking plushy floats just above his shoulder.
Rosetta runs to school just making it before the last bell. While the teacher is taking attendance, the brown haired guy comes in.
"You are late Raphael Hamato." Caline, a young pretty teacher, glances at her class list.
"Sorry about that." Raphael gives a small head bow.
"Well I will let it go since it is the first day. Take a seat next to Nino." Caline points to a dark skinned teen with glasses.
Nodding Raphael sits next to him. Glancing over he sees Rosetta sitting next to two other girls. Spotting Raphael, she quickly turns to the black board.
'Did she just look away?' Raphael begins to take notes. 'Maybe I over did it. I'll apologize tomorrow.' He sighs reflecting on what happened.
'I shouldn't have looked away like that.' Rosetta sighs trying to take notes. 'I still need to thank him for helping me.' She glances at him from the corner of her eye.
As the day goes on, Rosetta finds that her two seat mates are really great. There is a shy bell-blue eyed girl named Marinette, she is a bit clumsy but funny and sweet. Then there is a coco skinned tomboy named Alya, she's a bit hyper but that is part of her charm. Rosetta also realizes this school has two mean girls. The blond queen bee is named Chloe and her orange haired lackey is named Sabrina.
Once classes are over Rosetta tries to find Raphael to apologize. She soon gives up though realizing he's already gone.
Back in her new room, she begins to unpack a few of the last boxes. While placing things away she spots a little black Chinese jewelry box. Opening it a bright light emerges causing her to drop the box as the ball of light floats in front of her until it turns into a little white rabbit plushy toy.
