A/N: Here's the second chapter. I finished this at like midnight. Thank you for reading, following, favoriting, and reviewing!
PeaceAndLove1: Glad you're enjoying the story so far. I assume the song you're talking about is the one sung by Rin and Len? Because that's the one that popped up when I searched. It's a beautiful song. As for Toma well…who knows when he'll start telling about what he knows.
MiracleShine: Yeah both sisters are being pretty unreasonable and they'll continue to be unreasonable for a while. Although the reasons why become clearer as the story progresses. Hope you enjoy this update.
dadada2: Fine has every right to be mad, yeah. I hope you continue to read to find out more about her and her sister.
cherrione: I've had ideas for friendship/family fanfics before, but none of them ever got published since when I posted the summaries for them before most people weren't interested so I didn't see a point in writing them. I decided to give it another shot though since I really liked this idea myself. And the inspiration….I don't really think it comes from anywhere specific honestly, sometimes they just kind of pop into my head and other times its because I think the idea of combining one idea from a show would be good with this other idea from a manga and then also with this idea from a novel would make for an interesting story so then I just right down the summary. No matter how small or insignificant the story idea may be I write it down quickly. Doing so either makes me lose interest in it after it's written down or I get more motivation to expand on the idea. Other times I see ideas that can be combined to make a knew story idea that I then think is a great idea which then gets published on my summaries' "story" or gets published right away like this story. Sorry that probably wasn't much help, but I hope the answer was satisfactory at least?
Once again, thank you for reading and I hope you all enjoy!

Chapter Two
Why is She Here?
*.*.*.*
The first half of Fine's summer went by fairly quickly. She spent most of her time with friends and as far away from the house (and Rein) as possible. There was one day where she stayed home, July seventh, her parents would have to be away somewhere on her real birthday the thirtieth so they decided to celebrate on the seventh instead. She was glad that her parents did not pester her to talk to Rein for once. And luckily for Fine, she was told that Rein left at midnight. She did not know where she went to and why she left, but at this point she really did not care. It meant she had a day to enjoy without worrying about running into Rein!
Her friends all came over and they played video games, ate pizza, swam in her pool, ate cake, and of course she opened her presents when it was finally night.
"Thanks you guys! This was the best birthday ever!" Fine grinned.
"Glad to hear it!" Truth said, "We'll see you tomorrow then. Bye!"
Each of her friends said there goodbye to Fine as they left. Once they were all gone her parents told her something.
"Rein won't be coming back until the start of the school year." Haze said.
"Really!?" Fine said unable to hide the joy in her voice.
Unfortunately for her, her parents frowned.
"It's not very nice for you to be so happy about that Fine…" Haze said.
"Hmph! And why not? You always force me to try and talk to her when I don't want to and when she clearly doesn't want to either! In fact, I hope she never comes back!" Fine went up to her room before her parents could say anything.
*.*.*.*
Two weeks before school Fine got a letter from Wonder Academy, the private high school she took the test for. She nervously opened the letter.
Fine Arke,
Congratulations Fine Arke!
You have been accepted to the Prestigious Wonder Academy!
Please fill in the questionnaire attached to this letter and send it back to the school.
This will determine your major and minor classes at the Academy so answer honestly.
Your test score has been attached as well.
We look forward to seeing you this school year.
Wonder Academy Principal, Jericho Tsukino
"I-I…Mom I did it! I made it in!" Fine cheered.
"That's great honey!" Splendor smiled.
"I gotta fill this out right away!" Fine ran to her room.
She first took a look at her test score. She got a 51 out of 100 meaning…
"I just barely passed…" Fine sighed, "But at least I passed!"
Now Fine is looking at the questionnaire, it was just asking about her hobbies, interests, and future plans. Nothing difficult.
"I like most sports, especially gymnastics, playing video games…I love food! Especially cake! And for the future…hm…I never really thought about it…What do I want to do?" Fine thought and thought, but did not know what to put. She decided to say she was undecided.
"Now for the rest of it, I like the colors red and pink. My best friends are Sophie and Truth. I hate scary stuff and the supernatural! What's next…?"
After Fine finished filling in the questionnaire she mailed it to the Academy.
*.*.*.*
"Have a good day at school Fine!" Her mother called as Fine left the house.
"I will!" Fine sprinted out of the door and to school. It has been two weeks since she filled the questionnaire, she could not wait to get to her new high school! She heard the school was a ton of fun and most of her friends are going there too which is why she decided to take the test in the first place.
Fine ran as fast as she could to Wonder Academy. When she got there she took in the sight of the massive school.
"This place looks so cool! I gotta see where my Nulla class is." Fine would first have to go to a Nulla class were she would then be given her real schedule and classes. Students were crowded near a board where all the Nulla classes were listed. Students were broken up into how they answered their questionnaire.
Fine's Nulla class was in room 181B on the second floor. She hurried over there and waited for the teacher to start passing out the schedules. She could not wait to see what classes she got!
Soon a bell rang and the teacher who had been sitting at her desk stood up and addressed the students in her class, "Good morning! I am Mrs. June. When I call out your name please come and pick up your schedule along with this informative folder. This will be in alphabetical order from your last name. First, Miss Fine Arke!"
Fine had never been happier to have her last name start with A! She walked up to Mrs. June and grabbed her schedule and folder.
"Next…" Fine drowned out the talking of Mrs. June once she sat down and took a look at her schedule.
Her schedule looked as follows:
Alpha Days (Tuesday – Friday)
1st Period: Cooking Class with Ms. Sheryl (Rm.115A)
2nd Period: Graphic Design with Mr. Miyamura (Rm. 543D)
3rd Period: Gymnastics with Mrs. Bell (Gymnasium A)
4th Period: Study Period in Study Hall with Supervisor Ms. Anita (A Building Study Hall)
5th Period: General Physical Education with Mrs. Leona (Gymnasium C – Field C)
6th Period: Martial Arts with Shizume-sensei (Gymnasium E)
Beta Day (Monday)
1st Period: Mathematics with Mr. Victor
2nd Period: Language Arts with Mr. Hart
3rd Period: French 1 with Madame Francoise
4th Period: Science with Mrs. Lucine
5th Period: Study Period in Study Hall with Supervisor Mr. Hall
6th Period: Health with Ms. Fair
'This school is so cool! I only have to take the boring classes on Mondays!' Fine grinned to herself.
She then set aside and quickly skimmed through the folder's content. She saw that it was a requirement to join a club and there were a list of clubs to choose from.
'I have to fill out a club application and submit it to the club leader by this Friday.' Fine looked through the list of clubs. There were so many good ones! She loves soccer, but volleyball and basketball are great too! But maybe trying something different would be cool too like maybe Ski and Snowboarding Club. There's a Video Game Club too! And an Anime Club!
'Which should I choose? Oh well, I got until Friday I'll make my decision by then I'm sure!' Fine thought.
"You are all dismissed to go to your Beta classes for the day." Fine and the rest of the students quickly filed out of the class and headed to their destinations.
*.*.*.*
Fine's day had been going great until she got to her French Class…She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her when she saw a girl that looked like Rein in the class.
'There's no way it can be her! She's never gone to school before! If she was at school then shouldn't she be in like a…elementary school or something first!?' Fine took a seat as far away from the Rein-look-alike as possible. Unfortunately for her once Madame Francoise had everyone introduce themselves she realized that once they got to the look-alike's turn, it was not a look-alike at all, but the real Rein!
"You are next. Won't you please tell us your name and something about yourself?" Madame Francoise asked.
"…Rein Sakamoto…there's nothing to say about me." Sakamoto? That was not Fine and her parents' last name. Why did she say her last name was Sakamoto? Well, why should she care anyway? Rein can lie all she wants!
"Not even a little something? Maybe a hobby?" Madame Francoise asked.
"…No…" Rein shook her head.
"Alright then…well, you were the last one. Even though it is only the first day I believe we should get started! I've prepared a little quiz to see how much you all know French!" Madame Francoise passed out the quiz which turned out to be thirty questions long, "Don't worry if you don't understand any of it, this is just to get a feel for how much you know."
Fine ended up guessing on almost all the questions. She only knew how to say hello and cheese omelet in French and only because she watched an episode of a cartoon that had those two words in it.
After everyone handed in their tests Madame Francoise began to grade them while the rest of the class was given the chance to talk to each other. Rein ended up being completely alone, the opposite of her Fine who was already surrounded by people.
"So how'd you guys do?" One of her classmates, Bibin, asked.
"Terribly, you?" Fine responded.
"Yeah same." Bibin said.
"Did anyone get anything on it? I mean this is supposed to be French 1 right?" Carla, another classmate, said.
"Everyone! I have the results. Once again, it's just fine if you didn't understand anything at all you are here to learn, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of you got a perfect score!" Madame Francoise said.
"Someone actually got a perfect score!?" Bibin yelled, "Who!?"
"Why, Rein! I didn't realize you were so proficient in French. Who taught you?" Madame Francoise turned to look at Rein as did the rest of the class. Although Fine just glared at her instead. Rein, her weird sister who never once went to school got a perfect score!? It had to have just been stupid luck!
Rein did not respond to Madame Francoise nor did she pay any mind to the students looking at her or to Fine who was glaring daggers at her. She just quietly sat in her seat staring blankly at the desk.
"Rein?" Madame Francoise repeated her name.
Rein sighed and reluctantly responded, "Altair taught me."
'Altair!? That's just a stupid star! How can a star teach her a language!?' Fine thought.
"Oh, was that a previous teacher?" Madame Francoise asked. Rein did not respond and refused to respond for the rest of the class. The bell eventually rang and everyone left including Fine.
'That's so unfair! How can she be so smart when she's never been to school!? And then she's talking about the stars again! Can't she be normal even at school!? I bet her earlier classes were the same! She probably mentioned something about the stars teaching her. She's living in a fantasy world!' Fine was pretty upset with Rein's intelligence although she did not think she should be as angry as she is. Whatever, she'll forget all about it by the end of the day right? She doubts she will see Rein for the rest of the day and she's certain she will not see her during alpha days.
'There's no way that weirdo and I would have any of the same interests!'
