EPISODE 11: SCHOOL LIFE!

[AUTHOR'S POV]

This story is set on a normal house, on a normal subdivision, on a normal day, on a normal world, on a normal school. This is normal as in, normal. No gaichuus, just your ordinary high-schoolers. Enjoy! By the way, this episode has anime characters not only on Letter Bee, but also from other anime series, so if you don't know them, uh… then you don't know them!

[SELENE'S POV]

"Selene! School starts today so wake up now!" I heard Mom's voice echo through my bedroom door. I pulled up my sheets and hoped that school starts tomorrow until I heard the door open. I took a peek and it was none other than,

"Aaliyah-nee-chan?"

"Mom said to wake you up. Don't you remember? Your high school starts today?" I grabbed two pillows; one to throw to Aaliyah and the other pillow to cover my face. I wanted to sleep again until I felt my bed bouncing.

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Aaliyah was jumping on my bed just to wake me up. I threw a pillow to make her stop and she did. She even fell from the bed.

"I'm up!" I said, defeated.

Aaliyah left and said, "Good! Breakfast's ready downstairs. I'll be off with Hans so you better hurry up."

I ran to the bathroom, and did a little shower. I blow-dried my brown hair and I took my new uniform from my closet. I still can't believe I'm going to attend an elite and the best school around, Yuusari Academy High. I heard it was supposed to be an all-boy school but the current Headmaster changed its state this year and now, it's already a mixed gender school. I'm not really excited, I mean, I don't get along well with boys.

I wore the white polo; I fixed my lace and tied it to a ribbon right under the collar, I took my navy blue blazer, my pleaded skirt, knee-socks, and my shoes. Before I got downstairs, I looked at myself on the mirror, making smiley faces and twirling around.

"You better hurry Selene, it's almost 8!" Mom shouted and I ran downstairs, not mentioning I slipped on one of the staircases and my butt still hurts. I took toasted bread and left, "I'll be going now!"

"Bye and have fun!" I ran and I almost forgot to take my bag. I ran on a pedestrian lane, in a park, until I reached Yuusari High. I arranged and fixed my hair and my uniform before entering the school premises.

I looked everywhere; I saw cherry blossoms, trees and flowers, even a small park just on the side of the school. I saw the big clock tower right in the middle and I saw I have only 15 more minutes. I entered the school and I looked through which class I'm in. I'm a freshman soooo…

"Ah, here it is, Selene Cross, Class 1-A." I looked for a 1-A class and here it is. Once I entered, I saw a paper ball thrown at me but I caught it in time.

"Whoa, another transfer student?" some boy said. I looked at the black board and I saw, "Welcome Class 1-A." Well, I'm in the correct room at least.

Once I reached to my seat, I heard some of the boys, "She's cute." "I wish I could sit right next to her." "Where do you think the brown-haired girl came from?" and I was a bit annoyed by those questions. I just looked at the window until a silver-haired girl came at me.

"Hi Selene! Remember me?"

"Sylvette? Is that really you? I missed you!" I hugged my childhood friend. Her mom and dad died a long time ago and she is staying on an apartment with her older brother who I believe is also in this school.

"By the way, I'll introduce you to one of my friends, Lag!" she pushed a silver-haired boy and we shook hands. "He is Lag Seeing, my friend. Everybody tells us we are twins since we look alike."

"Nice to meet you Selene." How did he know my name?

"You must be wondering why I know your name, well, it's because your sister is the Student Council President in this school and your brother is the leading valedictorian!" Lag replied until on cue, the teacher came in. He has a hair that was combed backwards; he was wearing a lab coat, and he has an eye patch on his left eye.

"I am Dr. Thunderland Jr., I will be your teacher on Biology since we would be dissecting some animals this semester and we will be enjoying it. Nice to meet you all." He said then started scribbling some notes on the blackboard, erasing the welcome note. I placed my hand on my cheek, looking bored. I started to doodle on the back of my notebook until the teacher dismissed us, I have no idea it was already over.

"Goodbye and thank you, Thunderland-sensei!" We all stood up and sat back down and I continued to doodle on my notebook until Sylvette came.

"Selene, what are you doing? Looks like you're not listening on the first day of class!" Sylvette took my notebook and stared at it, "How did you learn to draw like this? It's so amazing!"

I replied with, "Well, it's just scribbles and lines, I have no idea what am I doing with that. It is lunch already?"

"Not yet, we have target shooting lessons." What? Target shooting? No way.

"Ciaossu!" we saw a baby wearing a suit and a hat with a green chameleon on it. "What is a baby doing here?" Some of the boys said.

"Uh Sylvette, what's going on?" I asked.

"Looks like the teacher's here!" eh?

"Teacher?"

"He's the teacher, the baby! Reborn-sensei!" Eh? The baby? Really? I looked at the 'baby' and he pulled the chameleon as it turned into a gun and it shot someone. (A/N: Reborn is from the anime of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Search for the picture to find out what he exactly looks like. The anime's really awesome!)

"What the heck's going on?"

~~LUNCH TIME~~

"Selene!" I saw Aaliyah-nee-chan just outside our classroom. It's a good thing our shooting class is done, I can't believe that this school would be THIS elite.

"So, how was your first day?" Aaliyah asked and dragged me outside until I saw Hans-nee-kun!

"Well, it was great… I guess." I replied back.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to some of my classmates. I suppose they know you already since, well, I AM the Student Council President here and Hans is the all-time Mr. Smarty Pants here." She said, dragging me again.

"But I have to eat lunch!" Aaliyah stopped and saw a black haired boy waiting near the library. Hans-nee-kun walked towards him and whispered something then left. "See you later Selene!" he said.

"Oh, hi Zazie. Whatchadoin?" Aaliyah asked.

"Keeping trouble out."

"Selene, this is Zazie; a member of the Disciplinary Committee—"

"The LEADER of the Disciplinary Committee, you always forget that." He said, then looking at me. "So she's your younger sister? Heh, so what's she good at? I mean, rumor has it that the Cross' Siblings are always good at everything." Wow, I never knew that.

"Well, she's good at—"

"Selene!" Wow, does everybody have to snatch me away? I saw it was Sylvette, "you have got to see this." Sylvette dragged me away from Aaliyah and Zazie and towards my locker, and once we did, I saw tons and tons of letter and chocolates flowing from it. What just happened? Sylvette picked one and looked at the note,

"Wow Selene, first day and you have tons of secret admirers. You are one beautiful girl!"

"Am not."

"Are too!"

"Ugh, what am I going to do with all of this?" I looked at the pile of chocolates, thinking what should I do with them until Aaliyah-nee-chan and Zazie came at us.

"Looks like Selene's best in popularity!" Aaliyah said which made me blush in either embarrassment, or in humiliation.

"What?" I asked until Hans-nee-kun came together with another student, with brown hair. Aaliyah hugged that boy and… wait… HUGGED?!

"Raphael! Where were you?" Aaliyah asked.

"Library and I was in a press conference with the other schools since the President is out and that is supposed to be you." He replied, then looking at me.

"Is she the third Cross? Nice to meet you! I'm Raphael Summers, the school's Vice President." He said.

"Uh-huh, okay." was the only reply I can think of.

"Do you need a tour?" Raphael asked me.

"Sure." Raphael took my hand and dragged me outside. How many times should I be dragged out from one place to another? He then led me to one place to another until we reach the Student Council's Official room and Raphael led me in there.

"The history and standings of Yuusari Academy High, want to know everything?" he asked and I nodded in reply.

"There are three elite schools here, and one of them is the Yuusari Academy High, the two other schools are the Yodaka Elementary School and the College of Akatsuki. The three schools are supposed to be an all-boy school but since the change of the Headmaster, Largo Lloyd, he changed it to a mixed-gender school. The schools are called elite due to the mighty and highly teachers hired to train students to increase not only their academics but also trains their emotions, physical, mental, and spiritual, not to mention martial arts and some rare subjects like target shooting and archery." Raphael said which made me happy and sad since I was sent to an elite school.

That is, until the bell rang.

"See you later Raphael!" I said then left, giving him a wave and running towards my classroom. And once I got there, I saw Sylvette and Lag talking to each other and I walked near them.

"Selene! I have something to tell you! Have you ever noticed that people know you from the 3 Cross?" from the what?

"The Three Cross? The rumored siblings? The people who are best in everything? I mean, Hans is the valedictorian and the heartthrob of the school, almost all girls like him! His glasses make his eyes go bluer than blue and…"

"Okay, so what next?" I stopped her. Looks like she likes him though.

"So Hans is one of the dream princes here in the Academy, next is your sister, Aaliyah. She's one of the most popular girls in the school and she's considered as one of the youngest people who ruled over the school as the President. Cool right?" Sylvette said.

"Then, I'm the third Cross sibling, as what you say, and I have no idea what I'm good at."

"Well, you're definitely good at drawing and painting and some arts stuff, I've seen you draw in your notebook at couple of times! You are also one of the popular girls and it's just the first day! You're also good at target shooting and archery a while ago and you hit the bull's eye a couple of times! Doesn't that make you a… a… well… a… target shooter?" Sylvette replied.

I guess… but I'll just have to wait until this school year ends… then I'll know where I'm good at.

~~5 MONTHS LATER~~

"Selene! Please join the Soccer Club!"

"No! Join the Boxing Club!"

"She won't join your boring clubs, join Baseball Club!"

"Volleyball Club!"

"Badminton Club!"

"Basketball Club!" Okay, this is getting annoying. They have been following me around after the day I played tons of sport during our Physical Education…

~~FLASHBACK~~

"Okay, so we'll be starting our class with push-ups, pull-ups, a jog around the soccer field, and some sports. Got that?" Erza-sensei is scary this day.(A/N: Erza is from the anime of Fairy Tail; another awesome anime!)

"Ready, set, go!" We did 20 push-ups, 20 pull-ups, and 3 laps around the big field. How can she make us suffer like this? Not to mention, that was an exaggeration.

"Good! Now, let's go play Basketball!" Erza-sensei gave me a ball and I shot it in the air and it shot on the basket, a goal, I think?

"Wow! How did you do that?" Some of my classmates asked me, "Well, I don't know." I replied. We played the same sport for 30 minutes and we played another which was Volleyball for 30 minutes. They kept on dragging me to be on their team since well, I play good Volleyball at home. I can hit the ball without hitting and the victory goes to us.

"Nice game Cross, so, let's play next, Soccer!" Erza-sensei is enjoying this, isn't she?

We went outside the school's gymnasium and went to the vast, green soccer field, with two goals. Then we played, and our team won.

"Wow! Selene is good at playing Basketball, Volleyball, and even Soccer!" somebody shouted until tons of people came up to me and asked me if I could join their club, and all I could to is run.

This is an awkward day.

~~END FLASHBACK~~

"I already told you, I am not joining your clubs!" I said, running away from them, for the 52nd time. Everyone was still running and chasing me until I felt someone grab my hand and pulled me on a narrow alley in the school.

"Heh, in trouble again?" Za-Zazie?!

"Ah… uh… well… not really." I replied back.

What's going on? My heart is pumping hard again, every time I see his black shining hair, his eyes, and his face, my heart would just sink to the bottom. No, I can't. He's a year older, I can't! I have to concentrate on my academics, no crushes… no crushes.

"You okay?" he said, patting my head.

"Of course I'm fine!" I can feel and hear his breath, since well, I'm in front of him and he's behind my back, my heart already sank to the bottom of my stomach and it created butterflies. He stood and helped me up, I thanked him and I left.

"Ooh, someone has a crush!" Sylvette squealed and I knew she was talking about me.

"I don't."

"So you like the leader of the Disciplinary Committee, for how long?" She asked.

"I don't like him okay!" I replied back and I left for the garden.

Looks like the rumor for the Cross' Siblings are true, that the three siblings are good at their very own thing. Hans-nee-kun, a Junior, is a valedictorian and a popular among girls. Aaliyah-nee-chan, a Sophomore, is the school's Student Council President and is also one of the most popular girls in school. Me? Well, some of them say that I'm good at sports, and that almost all sport clubs wanted me to join their club, I was also announced as one of the popular girls in school since almost every day, my locker would be filled with piles of chocolates and I really hate that.

Some of the people I've met are Zazie, a Sophomore student, he's the leader of the school's Disciplinary Committee. Raphael, a Junior, the school's Student Council Vice-President and Aaliyah's soon-to-be-boyfriend. Gauche-senpai, a Senior, the Salutatorian of the school and is one of the most loved students, especially with the girls. Jiggy-senpai, also a Senior, a popular boy and one of the people who fights other schools for medals. Sylvette and Lag, both Freshmen, are my closest friends on my class. Sylvette is also the team captain at the Cheerleading Squad. The twins, Mico and Nico, both Sophomores, they sometimes creep me out by kissing my hand randomly and give me chocolates together with their weird stories. Aria-senpai, another Senior, is the school's Student Council's Secretary.

I've also met teachers like Thunderland-sensei. He just loves to dissect and Biology is the best subject for him. Erza-sensei, the Physical Education teacher; she's just so cool that I idolize her. Mio-sensei, our Music teacher, is really good at playing the bass guitar and she also lets us sing along! (A/N: Mio Akiyama, I got her from the anime K-ON! Another good anime must watch!) And another teacher, Reborn-sensei, our target-shooting teacher, he looks like a baby but talks like a grown up man, he's really awesome though, even though he seem scary.

I lay down at the green grass, and looked at the clouds until I felt someone lie down right next to me. I took a peek as to who it is and I saw a person with black hair and that scent, Zazie… (A/N: Gomenesai for the long one-shot.)

"So, what are you doing here? Thinking of another way to become popular?" he joked.

"No I am not!" I replied and I sat up. I fixed my blazer and he also sat up until the school bell rang. I think it's time to go home. I stood up until Zazie asked something,

"Can I walk you home?" EH!? My voice was screaming in my head and my heart was pounding everywhere and it finally sank to the bottom. My face was really red and I can feel my face getting hot.

"Uh, Cross, have you got any fever?" he asked, touched my forehead with his forehead, his eyes, his breath, I can't take it anymore! This is overloading! My heart, it's… it's… beating fast, again! Why does he have to be like this?

"So, can I walk you home? I have nothing to do so, can I?" he asked. I replied without giving him eye contact. "See ya, I'll just go get my bag from the classroom and I'll meet you back." He said then ran off.

"Ooh a date!" I knew it, Sylvette was eavesdropping.

"It's not a date! Besides, he just wants someone to tease and that is me." I replied.

"Didn't you know that a boy teasing a girl is absolutely charming! Oh my! Oh my! The most popular girl in school is in love! The press would want to know about that!" Sylvette said then left. I went inside the lobby, took my bag from my locker, and went outside and just on time, Zazie was already outside the gates waiting, for me, I guess.

"That was long and slow."

"I only took 10 minutes!"

Zazie and I walked side by side, on the outside of the school, I saw a couple of boys whispering, "Why would she go out with a weirdo like him?" "Ssh! Be quiet! If he hears you, you'll be broken down! He's the leader of the Disciplinary Committee; you don't want to mess with him!" Wow, Zazie's image is like that, feared by people.

"Don't mind them. So, where is your home?" Zazie asked.

"Over in the East Side. The peachy colored one." I said. There came silence between us until we both got at our house. I saw my Mom and Dad just outside the house tending our garden and before Zazie and I could hide, they immediately saw us.

"Selene! And you bought a friend! Look Kaoru! Selene's boyfriend!" Mom said while Dad pointed his large scissors towards Zazie and I have a feeling that he doesn't like him. It's not like he's my boyfriend, right?

"Nice to meet you, I'm Selene's boyfriend." WHAT?! I'm gonna kill him, I'll kill him! I SWEAR I'LL KILL HIM!

"Aww! How sweet! Come in! You need to join us for dinner!" Mom said, bringing him in while Dad followed behind. Zazie, I swear I'll kill you.

"So Zazie, how long has it been after you've become Selene's boyfriend?" Mom asked during dinner which made Aaliyah-nee-chan choke her dinner and Hans-nee-kun spit out his glass of water which were both completely gross.

"Boyfriend? SINCE WHEN?" Aaliyah shouted.

Hans pointed his butter knife towards Zazie, "Don't you dare hurt her or else…" wow, my family is an overprotective one.

"So, when?" Mom, Aaliyah, and Hans simultaneously asked Zazie who was still calm. (A/N: This is seriously long. Gomene!)

"Since yesterday." Eh? He is a liar. A LIARRRR!

"Really? Well, how did you ask her?" Mom, please stop. Dad was still eating, I think he's enjoying at what's happening. Aaliyah and Hans were waiting for Zazie's reply until he held my hand.

"Selene, will you be mine?" I was blushing, HARD! HARD! I hate him! I HATE HIM! My face feels red. I wanted to slap him but I saw Aaliyah's face totally red, Hans' face about to throw up, and Mom's face big grin.

"So sweet!" Mom exclaimed. "Hana, she's too young." Dad said.

"Hmm, I trust you Zazie, I am your President, and… you have my permission." Aaliyah said happily.

"Try and hurt Selene and you face up to me. Got that? And also, I'll be watching you." Hans said, pointing his butter knife again towards Zazie. I excused myself and I grabbed Zazie towards my room.

"Hey!" he exclaimed once I slammed the door.

"Why would you lie to them like that?" I asked him.

"Well, will you?"

"Huh? Will what?" he held my hand and asked me,

"Will you be mine?" he asked which made my face red, completely red. "Is it a joke or not?"

Zazie kissed my hand and said, "Nope. It's not. So? Will you?"

I turned my head around, not looking at him, "Sure…" My face is completely red right now. After that, Zazie and I went back downstairs and finished out dinner. Mom was eating nonstop the same as Hans and Aaliyah while Dad was reading the paper and is still looking at Zazie with his death glare. We finished dinner by the time of 8:00 pm and Zazie and I went outside.

"So, good night." I said, not looking at him.

"See you tomorrow. Dad's gonna kill me." Zazie replied, then left, giving a last wave at me. When he walked a few meters behind me,

"AHHH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! ZAZIE'S MY! ZAZIE'S MY BOYFRIE—?" I felt a hand cover my mouth, "Sshhhh, you'll wake the neighbors." Aaliyah dragged me inside and it was almost time for bed. I'll see Zazie tomorrow then… heehee…

[ZAZIE'S POV]

I got back home at around 8:15 pm, and I saw my cat Wasiolka just outside waiting for me. I carried Wasiolka until I felt snowflakes melt on my shoulder. Snow?

"Success, I did it." I told Wasiolka as she meowed on reply. I went inside my apartment, I guess I really lied by telling her that my Dad is worried about me. Well, I'll see her again tomorrow, looks like she really is one of the Cross' Siblings, I have another reason to go to school then. I wrapped myself in the covers of my bed and I was overcome by sleep.

[AUTHOR'S POV]

As Zazie fell asleep with Wasiolka, Selene is also asleep with her pet rabbit, Alee. Selene can't wait for tomorrow as well as Zazie. They plan on eating lunch together under the cherry blossom tree which Aaliyah and Hans considered as a DATE.

And thus, their love life began to bloom for the past 5 months, what more will happen? Aaliyah and Raphael became together, Hans and a girl he likes became together this year, and a prom dance is coming up, but I won't tell everything since well, this one shot is seriously long. Their love lives bloomed and thus, all went in this school a happily ever after… The end.

SIS: You had an Author's POV?

ME: Yeah I did. Why?

SPACE: Sorry for the long wait! The Author is just really depressed.

ME: Me? Depressed? WHY SHOULD I BE DEPRESSED?

SIS: Well, you were jealous of someone, more specifically, your—

ME: Okay, let's stop right there.

SPACE: See you next time readers!

TRIO: Bye for now!
