Chapter Two

- General POV -

Sunlight streamed in through the half drawn up curtains as it caressed the young girl's face.
She opened her eyes with a dazed expression and let out a happy sigh.
She then gently got out of bed & wore her fuzzy slippers.

"Today's going to be a good day.", She said to herself and the carefully eyed her cellular phone.
'1 new message from Nate' Her smile grew even bigger when she read it.

'Good mornin' beautiful, have an amazing day ! I'll see you in the evening & remember that I love you, Like alot. x'
She quickly replied to the text message and got down to doing all her morning tasks.


- Meanwhile -

"God damn sunlight!", The boy cursed as he hid his face under his pillow.

"Good mornin' brother!", chimed a much less groggier voice.

"Ahhh great! Just great."

"Ahhh cmon brother, It's the first day of school."

"I aint goin' Al."

"But brother think about all the girls who are waiting to get woo-ed, I bet there'll be tons of new ones!"
The boys ears perked up.

"Oh yeah, they might get lonely.. thanks Al!", Ed exclaimed and dashed out of the room.

Dash, the dog looked at Al with a bemused expression while let out chuckle.
'He knew his brother a lil' too well.'


The girl eyed herself in the mirror one last time. Her hair was let down and combed through.
She had put on a bit of mascara and lipgloss, She wore a plain light green spaghetti top & a short pink floral skirt with green roman type sandals.

Happy with the way she looked she got into her car and drove down to her new school, Hoping that it would all turn out okay.


Top Manhattan high was huge. Huge was an understatement and the walls of the school for unusually white.
As Winry observed the school had a football field and a soccer field. There was also a comparatively smaller garden.
The entrance of the school had a flight of steps along which sat a few kids, there was also a sign that said 'Top Manhattan High'

She halfheartedly entered the school and searched for the principal's office and she walked through the hallway but was however interrupted by a rather cute Japanese boy.

He gawked at her for a second and then said, "Hey you must be new here!"

"Ahhan"

"You a junior or a senior?"

"Senior, grade 12."

"Oh cool, name ?"

"Winry Rockbell"

"I'm Ling Yao."

"Nice to meet you, listen could you help me out?"

"Anything for you babay"

Winry shot him a glare, she hated flirts.
Ling was obviously taken aback, he was expecting a blush or a giggle atleast.

"Could you temme' where the the principal's office is?"

"Oh sure thing, straight down and left!"

"Thanks, see you around."

"Hell yeah."

He flashed her a grin and winked at her.
She rolled her eyes and proceeded towards the principal's office.

Winry knocked on the door & she heard a faint "Come in" from the other side so she let herself in.
"Sir? I'm Winry Rockbell, the new student."

"Ahh Miss Rockbell. Welcome, welcome I'm Roy Mustang the principal.", a black haired man with onyx eyes said as he searched through a stack of papers.

"This is your class schedhule, school medical file, locker number and combination and please find your way around the school.
There is also another sheet of paper which indicates the school rules, kindly go through them."

"Yes sir."

"Off you go now, be good.", he said sternly but then let out a light hearted chuckle.

Winry nodded then walked out of the room . She eyed her schedhule 'Math room 108' she then looked at her locker number and combination.
She put the papers in her sling bag and made her way to her locker. Right next to it was young girl, she wore coargo pants and a black Tshirt,
Her hair was tied up in a tight pony. She had tanned skin, dark brown hair and eyes.

"Hey! You new here?"

"Yeah, Hi I'm Winry."

"Hellooeee Winry, I'm Paniniya.. you can call me Pani if you want though."

"Ehehe okay, Hey would you mind tellin' me where room 108 is?"

"Oh, you have math now?"

"Yeap, what about you?"

"Me too! No worries.. I'll take you there"

"Kay thanks Pani!"

Winry gave Paniniya a sweet smile & followed her to the math class room.


The class room wasn't that big but it was neatly arranged. There were a few scirbbles on the board which Winry identified to be calculus.
There were around 20 seats, 3 were empty at the back. Everything else was occupied.

A tall blonde lady was busy arranging her things. Her hair was tied back in a bun, she wore a suit &
had chestnut brown eyes.
'she must be the teacher', Winry thought to herself.

"Uhmm excuse me ma'am?"

"Winry Rockell?"

'Wow! she sure was efficient.'

"Yeah."

"Good, take a seat at the back overthere, I'll get someone to help you out with the other stuff later and Oh please introduce yourself to the class."

"Uhmm.. okay.", Winry turned to face the gawky boys and whispering girls.

"Hey! I'm Winry. I used Manhattan's school for girls and Ive just shifted here.",
she said sweetly and then quickly took her seat which was right behind Paniniya.

"Wow you sure are the talk of the class!"

"I am?"

"Heh, what did you think? Just take a look at yourself."

"Why? What's wrong with me?"

"Ahhh nuthin' Winnie, Gosh!",
Paninya said with a slightly bemused expression.
Winry was busy talking to her but was rudely interrupted by a loud bang of the door.

"Elric."

"Hawkeye."

"Glad to see you made it, last seat."

"Right, whatever.", Edward said as he winked at a few of the girls and took a seat next to Winry.

Edward was what any girl would call hot but Winry knew that appearences were decieving.

'Whoa! Hot hot hot new girl' Ed gulped 'How the hell was she so beautiful?'
Ed shook his head and eyed Winry from the corner of his eye then started to stare at the blackboard.
He began to bang his head against the table and then let a moan of agitation and began loudly drumming his fingers on the table.

"You're probably wondering who that hottie is?", Paniniya started.

"Uhm no not really..", Winry replied honestly.

"Haha right, that's Edward Elric, Ed for short. Hottest guy in the school and a bigtime player, don't ever make the mistake of falling for him."

"Haha you don't have to worry about that one."

Paniniya shot Winry a 'Yeah right' look.

"Alright class, shut up. Here are your first ten questions, begin.", Miss Riza Hawkeye said in a loud but calm voice.
Winry started right away, this stuff was easy.

"Hey babe."

Winry recognised that voice but chose to ignore it.

"Hello?"

"Yeah Elric, what do you want?"

"Ahhh feisty one eh?"

"Shut up."

"Okay okay, your name is.."

"Winry, Winry Rockbell."

"Cool, well you already know who I am."

Winry ignored the smug comment and Ed's eyes narrowed in turn.

"Okay well you know I couldn't help but notice that you have the most gorgeous ey.."

"Save it Elric."

Did she just say what he thought she said?
'WTF?' (WTF - What the fuck)

"Could you 'lemme finish this please?"

'Playing hard to get? Fine.. I know how to get through to your type.', Ed thought to himself.
Winry finished her work to look around and see that only a few others had finished.

"Hey Winry, could I uhm borrow a pencil?"

"Why? Don't have your own?"

"I do, I actually forgot to bring it because of all thats happened.. I was just so caught up.."
Winry shot him a look, what the hell was he talking about?

"Why what the happened?"

"I don't want to waste your time, Im sorry."

"Hey you can 'temme you know"

"My dog.. died."

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I have a dog too and I would die if anything ever happened to her."

"Atleast someone knows what I'm going through.", Ed said sadly.

Winry suddenly felt really for guilty for being so mean to Ed maybe he wasn't such a bad guy after all.
But then she saw Ling on the other side smirking and giggling while looking at them.
'Oh so this is just a put on huh?', she thought bitterly to herself.

"So Ed are you having a funeral for it?", Winry said as she decided to play along.

"Ahh yes yes, he was really dear to me."

"Mind if I come?"

'Shittt...'
"Ahh no uhmm.. I mean yes!"

"Edward did you dog really die?", she asked with a no nonsense look.

"Are you accusing me of being a liar?"

"Yeap."

"How could you be so heartless Winry?"
"Alright fine, tell me how your dog died then."

"Ahh it uhmm.. drank rat poision!"

"Elric, from what I hear you live in the most uptown spots in Manhattan and you expect me to believe that you have rats?"

"Well actually it didn't drink rat poison what actually happened was that.."

"Like I said, save it Elric.", Winry interrupted as she heard the sound of the school bell.
She shot him another glare, picked up her books and walked away with Paniniya.
Ed's brain started to register what just happened.

'What was that?', he asked himself dumbstruck.
'I'm going to get you Rockbell, you wait and see.'
