(A.N) Hey guys, lovely weather we're having, isn't it? Sorry, it's just too frickin cold out for my liking right now. Anyway, still sorry about how long it's been taking me to upload new chapters, it's just kind of hard getting to a computer where I can write/upload my new chapters right now. It's still no excuse, but I don't have any more of them right now, so you'll just have to live with that one! =)
Moving on, special thanks to Ariada la Fata (the meaning's pretty cool) and a fan (thanks for reading and liking the story) and to all my awesome people who put me or any of my stories on alert, it would really make my day if you shared your thoughts about the story with me through a review or PM. Anyway, this chapter is a bit longer than the others (I think) so I hope you like it!
Enjoy the chappy!
"—then he waltzes in like he owns the place and told me to turn the music off. Can you believe the nerve of some people?"
Gwen sighed, "Sophia, darling, he's your father. And he does own the place, it's his house. He pays for it." She explained, only to have the blonde give her a blank look. Gwen sighed, "Yes, it was terribly rude; please continue with your story." The blonde gave a smile and started babbling about whatever she had been talking about before. Truthfully, Gwen hadn't really been listening…
Morgana snorted, lowering her nail file long enough to glance at Sophia and Gwen, "Good luck, I've tried that already. Didn't work. I think there might be something wrong with her head."
"This coming from the girl who constantly talks to her mirror," a voice behind them laughed. The two brunettes turned their heads to see Arthur walking behind them, followed by his two closest friends; Leon and Lance.
"Better looking than you," Morgana replied smoothly as she started filing her nails again, Gwen had to cover her mouth to stop the laugh from coming out.
"Doubt it," Arthur replied just as quick and careless, "did you two know that we have two new kids here?"
"Really? I haven't seen anyone new, have you Morgana?" Gwen asked, looking over at her dark haired friend, who raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"I haven't, but this a rather large school. The chances of all three of us having class with the new kids are rather slim. What grade?" Morgana asked, looking back at the three jocks walking behind them.
"Same as ours," Arthur replied, shaking off the shock that his step-sister actually sounded smart for a change, "one of them is in my science class."
"Really now? What do they look like?" Gwen asked curiously.
"Well I only have class with one of them, but Jacob told me they're twins. Boy and a girl. The girl's in my class. She…looks a bit like you actually, Morgana." Arthur cocked his head to the side.
This time Morgana straightened, obviously wanting to know more about the new kids now, "What do you mean?"
"You're both pale and have dark hair, but her hair's curly and longer than yours, I think she might be shorter than you, and she has blue eyes." Leon said, having his first comment of the conversation.
Morgana blinked, then raised an eyebrow at Leon and Arthur, "Stalkerish much?"
"Well think of it this way, she looks like you, so of course Leon would be staring," Gwen smiled, smirking as Leon mouthed a 'thank you' to her.
Morgana smirked at that comment, but stopped, "That still doesn't explain Arthur's stalkish behavior."
"Eh, he just hasn't got laid in a while," Leon shrugged, making Lance burst into laughter.
Arthur glared over, "You can't really say much about this subject, can you Leon?"
Leon held his hands up in defeat, "Alright, alright, I get it. We're all a bit cranky for the lack of getting laid."
"No, I'm pretty sure that's just you," Lance shook his head. Morgana giggled, smirking at Leon.
"Back to the subject on hand, other than the fact you gentlemen haven't…gotten 'laid' in a while, what about the other new kid?" Gwen asked, trying to change the subject, "You said there were two of them, but you've only explained a girl to us."
"Oh, well as I said before, we only had the one girl in our class; we've yet to see the boy." Arthur shrugged.
"Well you can hardly call him a boy, Arthur, you said it yourself, they're in the same grade as us," Morgana pointed out, "oh look! Alethea just walked into Professor Rocque's room. Go ask her if she's seen the new kids, she's the type of person I'd want showing me around on my first day."
"Morgana…have you been keeping from us all that you're secretly intelligent?" Arthur teased with a smirk.
Morgana opened her mouth to say something, but frowned, "Do you want me to kick you, Arthur? I'm plenty intelligent, probably more so than you."
"Probably?" Leon asked, raising an eyebrow.
Morgana looked thoughtful for a moment, "You're right, I am most definitely smarter than Arthur. Thank you Leon, I knew there was a reason you and I are together, now let's go. I really don't want to be late; Professor Rocque yelling at me would just ruin my entire day." She shook her head, then grabbed Gwen's arm started walking faster to their classroom, leaving behind a laughing Lance, a smirking Leon, and a glowering Arthur.
After Lissa, Merlin, and Alethea met back up at their lockers and they all had their books, they made their way to their last class of the day; World Geography with Professor Rocque.
"So, what's Professor Rocque like?" Merlin asked as they navigated through the crowded halls of the school.
"He's a good teacher, but he likes to yell…a lot," Alethea shrugged.
"Fantastic," Lissa gave a thumbs-up.
Alethea laughed, "What? Did something happen in Professor Knight's room?"
Lissa smiled and shook her head, "It was actually quite interesting in there. Terrence has that class with me, so I knew someone in there, and I got into an argument with some chick named Jo. I mean really, who names their daughter Jo?"
Merlin sighed and shook his head, "Leave it to you to get into a fight on your first day."
"It really wasn't a fight, it was just a small argument," Lissa shrugged.
"Be that as it may, what would mother say?" Merlin asked.
"Oh god, don't tell her," Lissa looked over at Merlin, eyes wide.
Alethea and Merlin laughed, "I wasn't planning on it."
"Good. So Alethea, do we know anyone in this next class?" Lissa asked, effectively changing the subject.
"Oh yeah, Spencer, Freya, Will, Terrence, Percy, and Gawain will be in there with us," Alethea shrugged.
"Oh, cool, the whole gang's there," Merlin smiled, waving to Freya and Spencer when the three walked into the room.
"Pretty much," Alethea smiled before looking over at Freya and Spencer, "Where are the others?"
"Well Gawain dragged Terrence with him to go ask out a girl, and Percy and Will had to go grab a book from the library for a project they're doing in Literature class." Spencer spoke quickly, giving a shrug.
"Hope they're not late, Katie told me Professor Rocque seems to be in a foul mood today," Freya frowned.
Alethea laughed, "Today should be fun then."
"Sounds like, oh, hello Merlin, Lissa," Spencer greeted as the three set their things down some nearby desks.
"Hey, how's it going?" Merlin smiled, but Gawain, Percy, Terrence, and Will ran into the room before Spencer could reply.
"See? I told you we could make it," Gawain smirked, throwing his book onto the desk next to Freya, laughing when she jumped.
"Honestly Gawain, you should know by now not to throw things in a classroom," Freya scolded, but smiled anyway.
"Sorry Mum," Gawain fake-sighed.
"Don't make me ground you," Freya crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Awwww," Gawain pouted, slouching in his seat.
"Good boy," Freya smiled, before turning back to Alethea, Spencer, Lissa, and Merlin, who were all laughing. The relative quietness of the room was interrupted when a few other students walked into the half-full classroom, laughing and talking loudly.
"Hey Lissa, look, it's Jo, the girl you almost got into a fight with," Terrence said happily.
Lissa frowned; "Great, they're in this class too?" she glared over at the group of jocks and preps.
Alethea followed her gaze, waving slightly when a tall blonde boy and two pretty brunette girls looked over at her, "Hey Arthur, Gwen, Morgana."
"You know them?" Merlin asked politely.
"Yeah, the pale girl with green eyes is my sister, and the blonde is my step-brother." Alethea informed.
Lissa made a face, "Ew."
"Lissa, be nice!" Merlin said, smacking his twin in the back of the head.
"Ow," Lissa rubbed her head, "what? They don't look like much fun to be around."
"It's true, they're quite annoying sometimes," Alethea shrugged. Merlin smiled, sighing when Lissa shot him a pointed look.
"Alright dogs! I don't have all day! Sit down, shut up and listen!" a loud voice emanated from the doorway, and students cringed and immediately began finding their seats.
"What a lovely man," Merlin deadpanned, making Terrence –who sat behind Lissa—snort with laughter, which he immediately tried to cover with a cough.
A rather large man made his way to the front of the room. He wasn't dressed as a normal teacher (though, Lissa noted, not many teachers here did. They just dressed how they felt like dressing) he actually looked like one of the white rapper wanna-be's. He wore a large blue jacket with money signs on it, blue baggy pants, sneakers, a blue and white hat, many large chains (some with dollar sings on the ends) and black sunglasses with orange lenses.
I wonder if he'll start rapping, Lissa smiled at the thought, already getting bored and drawing on her notebook.
"We've got two new kids in here today, which completely throws off my lesson because I don't know just how dumb these two dogs are yet," the man—Professor Rocque—pretty much yelled, though Merlin guessed he was just naturally that loud. Professor Rocque gave a glare over at Lissa and Merlin, "Care to tell us all your level of stupidity so we can get on with the lesson, dogs?"
Lissa returned the glare with one of her own, "Woof." At this the class burst into laughter, and Merlin groaned, letting his head fall onto his desk.
"Hmm, you just might be dumber than I thought." Professor Rocque stated after the class got quiet again.
"Well, I aim to please," Lissa smiled, leaning back in her seat.
"I'm sure you do," Professor Rocque glared, "alright, since the new dogs think they're so smart, let's start off with a pop quiz." The class groaned and Professor Rocque handed out the papers.
"It was totally worth it," Terrence whispered happily.
Merlin looked over at Lissa, "It's like Satan with bug-eyed sunglasses." Their group laughed quietly before getting to work on their quizzes.
Yep, Lissa thought, this year's just gonna be a blast.
(A.N.) Hey again guys! I really do feel horrible about my posting habits (though it really isn't entirely my fault). Me and one of my fanfics + broken laptop = long waits for new chapters. Thanks to those who continue to stick with e though! Okay, I have an idea (surprising, right?) about how I wanted this fic to go. To clear up any confusion you all may have about the characters classes, they're all Freshmen. I was thinking of ending this story at their graduation (maybe doing a small oneshot about their summer vaca -vacation-) and doing a sequel of their Sophmore (did I spell that right?) year. Then maybe another of their Junior year, then Senior, and maybe even something about college. It really just depends on if this story turns out good and how many fans/reviews I get. Let me know if you think it's a good idea, or if you just think I should continue with their other three highschool years (and so on).
If you actually take the time and read my little ANs, please give me an answer in a review/PM.
Thank you my lovelies!
