It's All New To Me

It was around 7:40 am when Kid had finished giving Marie a tour of the entire school. The maze like layout of the school was confusing enough but her classes had to make it much more difficult. Since the school was short on staff, the main classes had both E.A.T and N.O.T. students during the same hours. These classes were English, Math, Language and Health Studies, the classrooms were located in the middle of the school building. From the middle of the building Marie had to maneuver through the halls to the left wing of the school. At the end of of the left wing were her E.A.T classes. Kid steered her into a classroom. The first thing that she noticed was the sheer amount of books adorning the walls.

"This is English. I'm in language so I'll be right across the hall if you need anything."

Marie turned around to thank him but he was gone. Marie stepped into the hall to find him but a familiar face stopped her. Vibrant red hair adorning a rather sharp looking face snapped her back to a vivid memory.

"Hey, you're Joy, right?"

The girl barely seemed to notice her, her face buried in collection of what appeared to be sheet music.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. You're… Marie?" She smiled as she stuffed her papers into a small bag.

"Yep, thanks for your help at the pier, I didn't know you went here. What class do you have?"

"I'm actually new here but I have

language first hour. I'm super excited." Joy made a peace sign and slipped into the room across the hall. "See you later Marie, stay sharp! A cutie like you better be on the lookout."

A group of friends slipped in after Joy, cutting their goodbye short. Alright, my first day, Marie thought. Let's make it a good one.

*1st hour language* Joy's POV

Golden eyes, jet black hair… Too bad he's totally strange, otherwise I'd definitely be hitting on him by now. The girl to my right smelled nice and was drop dead beautiful her name was Jackie and I was going to make a move on her, but every time I turned to flirt she gave me the death stare. The other kid… Literally, his name is Kid (what parent does that?!), looked to be having some sort of seizure. He was sitting at his desk staring at the board, upset by some sort of order that was out of place. I understood. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, the disease that had controlled my life for so many years. I understood perfectly.

The teacher stood at the front, saying something in Italian to one of the students. Meanwhile Kid was… Staring at me? Time to flirt.

"Hey there. If you like what you see you could just tell me." I smile. He reaches towards my face. Kind of quick to make a move, isn't he? I don't dare move though, I just make a face like I expected it all along. He reaches over and parts my bangs and sits back.

I am ready to dropkick him.

Instead, controlling my rage, I reach into my purse and pull out my OCD meds.

"Here, I think you need these more than I do."

He looks puzzled for a second but then the teacher began to speak. My first day at DWMA begins.

*3rd hour-science* No POV

"Dissection."

Marie felt sick as Stein continued cutting the pig. Joy sat further up on her chair, enthralled.

"This is amazing," Joy said, "You can see the left lumbar region. I've never actually seen a pancreas before."

"How can you stand to watch this? I'm about to lose my lunch." Marie looked a little green in the face.

Joy jumped up in her chair. "Look! Is that what I think it is? LOOK AT THAT KIDNEY!" Stein seemed just as engrossed as Joy, sickeningly enthralled with the specimen before them.

Marie couldn't help it. She threw up.

*4th hour Soul Studies*

Marie sat with Kid during soul studies. Joy sat in the row behind them, taking notes or something in a book. Marie looked over and saw that she was sketching musical notes on a staff. Joy looked up.

"Hey cutie," she cooed, "if you want maybe we could make music together sometime." Marie blushed and quickly turned to the front. That was awkward. Ms. Marie walked into the room and took a seat by the front.

"Afternoon class. Please look at the board to see your partners. I've arranged you into groups of 3, meisters and weapons each together."

Marie looked at the board.

She was in the same group as Kid!

Her heart fluttered a little as he looked at her and gave her a small smile. Then a body flew between them. Joy looked at Marie and smiled. "It must be fate we wound up together in this group, huh? The fair maiden shall be swept away by her lover."

Marie had to muffle a scream, her and kid both looked at Joy in pure wonder.

"For this first exercise, I would like the most experienced meister to focus on soul perception. Weapons work on transformation. Newbies take notes, senior students please help your group members."

Kid gave a sly smile and closed his eyes. When he opened them and looked at Marie and Joy, he saw their outlines and their souls. Orange and gray respectively. Gray was such an odd color, especially considering her rather taut and explosive personality. Putting that aside, Kid turned to Marie. "Alright, now it's your turn. Soul perception is an art. Try to focus on the person. Hear their breathing, the beating of their heart. Then try to see those things." Marie did as Kid said with all her might, but to no avail. "Come on you cutie, don't get cold feet now." Joy tapped her on the shoulder and leaned into her ear. "Focus. Let it go." It was only for a moment, but Kid and Joy seemed to change. Like a black and white drawing adorned with flowers. What was that?
