Ender Wiggin stood among his friends in the crowd, the new kid's would be coming though that gate any moment now and everyone was waiting to see what earth had sent up. Who was going to be a threat and who was going to be useable. Ender however was simply wanting to look, he was already at the top of the standings and doing very well for himself. He had respect from the group of lunchies that he was teaching and as of late he was being left alone by the teachers. So he was in a fairly good mood truth be told. Then there they were. The first kid to step out of the door was a bit of a surprise, even for Ender.

A girl.

Girls were a rare thing to see in Battle School, Ender himself only knew one and he could hardly call Petra a girl. The new girl was extremely short and thin, a wash out most would say but Ender locked eyes with her for only a moment and knew. She was dangerous. Confidence seemed to come off the short girl in waves. Her hair was just passed her shoulders and her eyes were a bright blue. Her skin was pale, overall Ender thought she was actually quit cute. Although he knew better than anyone that confidence could kill in Battle School and she already seemed to have way to much of that.

"Best to see how she fares before thinking about useing or getting close to a girl like that." He thought to himself.

The next to come was a boy with short blonde hair and pale green eyes. He stayed close to the first girl, almost like he was trying to hide behind her. Although Ender knew what he was playing at better than the boy probably thought he did. He was acting weak, he knew the girl would be a good shield, someone brave that would take the attention off him.

Ender had to say the boy was rather bright to think up something like this without ever being in Battle School before. Ender had even considered lying low and working the school from the shadows, but, alas, his ambition wouldn't let him do such a thing. His blue eyes passed over the blonde boy and to his amazement another girl. If it was rare to get a girl in Battle School it was near impossible to get two at the same time. She had curly short brown hair and glasses hiding green eyes that seemed to have an icy look to them. Ender kept his eyes on her, she didn't walk with confidence. She walked with cushion and wariness, like any moment there could be a problem that she would have to solve. Ender's friend Petra pulled on his suits sleeve making him come out of his thoughts and look away from the new children.

"Petra?" He asked.

"What are you looking so intently for Ender, you're going to freak out the newbies and you wouldn't want that would you?" She asked smirking at the dark-haired boy.

"They will need fear if they wanna get by around here." Ender replied turning back to the new kids.

"Oh don't be so serious Ender, half thaws kids don't know how to walk and talk at the same time." She sneered.

Ender liked Petra, he really did but the girl seemed to know next to nothing about assessing potential allies or enemies. God only knew Ender could spot an enemy rather quickly considering he had quite a few of them himself.

"Don't underestimate them simply because their small, the small ones are the are the ones you need to watch out for." He whispered as the new kids started walking twords him.

The first, the one with the blue eyes looked right at Ender as she pasted. Her eyes seem to burn right though his soul. He didn't like her, she would be a threat to his status here. How Ender knew this was simple, she was glowing with confidence, his confidence. He would remember her face that was for sure. He would try to make her allies with him if he could, but he would be wary. She had a hunger to her eyes that slightly reminded him of his brother and if she was even half as smart as Peter, she would go far here.

Although Ender didn't rule out that she could just be a confident moron, but his assumptions had never been wrong before. She would be someone worth watching, he was sure of it. After she and the blonde boy passed Ender looked at the curly-haired girl and smiled at her. She brat her focused eyes to him and a small blush went over her face as she gave a small smile back. Not bad, shy and quite but calculating. After that Ender stopped paying atenchion. He didn't want to stay here long incase it made him late for his teaching lesson.

A few days later

Julianna Anderson woke with teary eyes, she hated to say it. It killed her to think about it even, but she missed her parents. She missed her old teachers and her room filled with every book under the sun that she liked to read. Her bunk mate was the only other girl in her year, miss Katherine Dayfly. She had stormed into their bunk room and quickly made friends with every boy in the room with jokes or other means of conversation. Julianna had never been good at making friends or keeping them, but this girl had it down to an art form for sure.

She wondered if miss Dayfly was really going out of her way to make friends with every boy in their dorm or was simply good at making friends. She didn't look like she was trying to be manipulative, she was talkative to the people who wanted to talk and quite when there was no one to talk to. She didn't go from person to person demanding attention, it just went to her. Like there was a mini spotlight on over-confident girl. Julianna didn't like her. She didn't trust that sweet and open smile. So when Katherine had chosen the bed above hers and introduced herself, Julianna gave her a short response of.

"Yeah, I don't care what bed you pick."

She regretted it right after the words left her lips. She hadn't ment it to come out so harsh and cruel. It made her sound bitter and threatened. Katherine however didn't notice or didn't care because she cam right back with a sweet replie.

"Sweet, I love top bunks, they make me feel safer you know!"

Julianna bit her lip thinking back to her first conversation with Katherine. Now she was friends with everyone. In just three days so Katherine had won the trust of everyone. Well inept for the boy Julianna had met on her shuttle ride. He had chosen the bed right across from her and barely spoke to anyone in their dorm. He was playing with all the things the teachers had given the students with diligence. The desk he had played no-stop, mumbling to himself the whole time. If the boy had missed his parents, Julianna couldn't tell. She hadn't cot the boy crying like she had everyone else in the dorm. Although on the second day of being at Battle School he had told her that his name was Emery and if she wanted to talk about anything she could come to him.

She hadn't approached him yet, and today Julianna knew would be taxing. One, she hadn't really made any friends that she could count on if she was cornered and two, the only person that seemed to really want to talk to her was Katherine or the dark-haired boy named Emery. She didn't want to be Katherine's underling and being Emery's friend wouldn't really do her much good.

"Julianna?" A voice asked.

Julianna's head shot up and took in the sight of Katherine pulling on her white day suit. She had a huge smile on her face and looked excited.

"There we are, you looked like you weren't even on earth girl!" She said zipping up her suit.

"Oh, my apologies that I wasn't listening to your every word." Julianna snaps harshly.

Katherine's eyes went wide and Julianna got a small pice of satisfaction out of it. How would she react when Julianna didn't fall right into her arms? It had made her so pissed. The first night they had all spent together in this dorm Katherine had 'pretended' to notice that all the boys were near tears and did something shocking. She had asked them to play a game that made them sit in oval and talk about how they were feeling and the worst part was, they did it. They really did it, ten boys and Katherine all sat in a oval talking about how much they missed their mommy's and daddy's. Julianna knew there was no written rules in Battle School but if there were the first one would be. No talking about your earth life.

"It wouldn't matter anyways. Your family wouldn't even recognize you when you got back to earth so why miss them?" Julianna thought bitterly wail they had played wail her and Emery sat out.

Although Julianna had wanted to share...she had almost got up in Katherine stupid ploy. Not her she was to smart. Katherine blinked at Julianna and then smirked putting a hand on her hip.

"You really hate me don't you Julianna?" She asked.

"W-What?" Julianna stuttered.

"You really feel that threatened by little old me?" Katherine beamed.

Julianna was coat off grad, this hadn't been what she was expecting at all. Did anything phase this girl.

"When you actually want some friends, and stop acting like a little jealous kid, come talk to me." Katherine said walking away.

Julianna was pissed, how dare that which talk to her in such a way! She was a genius for gods sake! Although...if Katherine was in Battle School, so was she. What would Julianna do now? Although before she could think anymore her desk beeped telling her she was running late. She cursed and ran out of the room to get to her first class. She damned Katherine, she damned herself for not being a step ahead. Julianna got though her classes and drrdded her first time in the Battle Room. Only an hour away from now Julianna would be flouting all alone without anyone to help her.

In her hast Julianna didn't see a really tall boy in front of her and hit right into him. She felt her body fly back and her rump hit the floor much harder then she would have liked.

"Watch where your standing!" She snapped without looking up.

"What did you just say launchie!"

Julianna looked up and all the color drained out of her face, an older boy dressed in a flash suit stood in front of her. He looked like he was about ready to kill her he was so pissed. Julianna backed away wail still on the floor.

"I..."

"Look you little fart eater, you need to respect us understand!" The boy she had ran into exclaimed.

Julianna had never been so frightened, if she didn't get out of this somehow she would be shamed right here in front of everyone, she could see it in the boys eyes. He wanted blood and he didn't care whose it was. She tried to think, she really did. Just when the boy was about to say something a voice called out.

"Picking on launchie's now Bonzo?"

The boy above Julianna went still, the smirk on his face fell right away replaced with one filled with anger.

"Wiggin." He hissed turning away from Julianna.

Julianna looked up with horrified green eyes. Wiggin? Who was Wiggin?

At the end of the hall was a boy with shaggy black hair and bright blue eyes. He was almost dressed in a flash suit and had a fazer on his belt.

"Hello Bonzo." Wiggin said smiling.

"What the hell do you want you dirty cheater!"

Wiggin put on a fake hurt face.

"Oh Bonzo! Really calling me a dirty cheater simply because I beat you, to cruel." He says putting a hand to his chest.

That was the moment, the moment Julianna knew. She wanted to be friends with this boys. This God, this brave leader. The moment several boys stood behind him and watch Bonzo with eyes that could kill. She had heard about him in her classes.
This was Ender Wiggin, that king of Battle School.


(A/N) I hope I did the small moment with Ender right. Ender is a hard boy to understand but I always imagined him really confident when it came to dealing with his enemy's. Anyways I really hope everyone likes the story and please leave a review. Have a great day.
