A/N: Hey! I know it took forever right? Sorry I had written it all up but my comp deleted it! But today I was like "The hell with it" so I just wrote it up again @__@ Gomen for the long wait.

Getting out of the cab Mimi stretched her cramped arms into the air and let out a great yawn. There she was. Standing in front of the gates of Odaiba Boys Academy. She was just so lucky! Or so she thought.

Taking a deep breath, the brunette proceeded to open the gates into the school and started to search for the main office. When she arrived to what seemed to be it, she started to get nervous, sweat appearing on her forehead and worried, 'what…what if they figure out I'm a girl? No...No that can't happen.'

Braving all her nerve, she stepped up to the elderly looking secretary; and summing up enough courage, spoke saying. "Excuse me. I'm here to register my data, I'm a transfer student."

Glancing away from her paperwork, the old woman smiled gently at her and greeted, "Konnichiwa. And what is your name young man?"

"Konnichiwa. I'm Tachikawa Miki. The student from America," Mimi answered quickly, having rehearsed it in the cab, numerous times.

"Oh yes...just a moment please. I'll beep Doctor. Kido," the lady answered, picking up what seemed to be a walkie-talkie.

'Dr. Kido?' briefly wondering whom this Kido person was, Mimi decided to sit down but didn't have a chance, as a young man of about twenty-four strode up to her, beaming and hailed, "Konnichiwa. You must be Tachikawa?"

"I…" Getting over the shock of such a young man being a doctor, Mimi shook her head before smiling, at him and responded, "Hai...that's me."

"Good. Come this way. I'll show you to your dorm." Winking Shin started to stride down the hall as Mimi followed suit, butterflies fluttering in her stomach. A few floors later they suddenly stopped, as Shin signaled to a door and explained. "This is your room. Your dorm buddy is probably in class right now, so you can meet him later."

"I have a roommate? But I specifically ordered a single room!" Mimi protested, her nervousness reappearing. Taking off his glasses, Shin sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry but there are no single rooms. We have more students then usual this year and all the rooms are being shared."

Panicked Mimi started to pace around him, deep in thought. 'This! This, will damper my plans! No...No I've come too far! I can do it! No problem!' Sweat dropping as he watched her pacing around in a circle, Shin decided to interrupt her and mumbled, "Umm...okay. Anyway here's your schedule. Since you came late there is only one class left before school is out. Then dinner, which will give you some time to socialize with the other boys."

Giving Mimi the sheet with an encouraging smile, Shin started to walk back down the hall, when she called out to him startled. "Hey...wait! Where is the homeroom?"

Raising his arm to dismiss the question with a twirl of his hand, the young doctor answered, "Its down the hall to the left. The room number is listed on the sheet."

Pouting, Mimi gazed after him a little taken aback and muttered grumpily, "Well...he was helpful."

After wandering around for a good fifteen minutes, she finally found her classroom but another battle of the mind soon ensued. Pacing back and forth in front of the door, Mimi's mind went into frenzy of doubts, most negative. 'What...what if they figure out? No. What if…what...they might? No. Argh!'

Smacking her head against the wall she sighed.  'I can do this. I'm Tachikawa Mimi! Future Idol star! ' She reasoned but knew her heart wasn't in it. Patting, herself on the back, Mimi nodded, with a defiant spark in her eyes and exclaimed, "Here I go!"

The sensei glared around the room, finding his class joking and messing around instead of listening. Vein popping at the side of his forehead, he smacked his desk with a ruler before shouting, "Silence! You morons!!"

Like a jolt, students stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the teacher in surprise. Realizing he had the interest of his class back, the teacher smiled in smug satisfaction before announcing, " Good. Now I have something to tell you all. We have a new exchange student, he came all the way from America so I want you to all treat him like you treat me...err...never mind treat him decently!" he ended on second thought.

"Wow...America! Is that far from Odaiba?"

"Yea…yea! Isn't it somewhere in Canada?"

"Wow! What's Canada?"

Hearing the stupidity, of his students, the sensei could feel his blood boil, as he fisted his anger and shouted, "Baka! Have you learned nothing from me?! How dare the class of B-gumi be so stupid!?" Whipping out a extended ruler he jumped over his desk and across the room. Raising his weapon heatedly, he continued, "Sensei must punish you!"

"Ah! Sensei!!! We're sorry!" the frightened boys shrieked, as they tried to escape their teacher's wrath. "Even after having me as a teacher you still have the IQ of rotten fruit! How dare you not learn anything in my class?" Raising his deadly ruler with a glower, the sensei was about to 'discipline' his students, as tears drenched the boys cheeks, screaming, "Wah!!! Don't hurt us!!!"

Since everybody was watching all the excitement between teacher and the two boys, nobody noticed Mimi walk into the noisy classroom. A moment ago she was all hyped up and ready for anything. That is…until she saw her future sensei wielding a ruler, about to strike two students. Eyes wide, she stumbled over her words, trying to flicker some awareness into the room and mumbled, "Uh...excuse me...?"

She waited a few seconds but nobody continued to pay her any mind and Mimi could feel herself begin to get irritated. Not enjoying being ignored, she tapped her foot impatiently for a few more minutes before raising her voice and roaring, "EXCUSE ME?"

Shocked, the entire class all looked over at her, letting out consecutive, "Eh's?" They turned around to find a self-conscious Mimi standing in front of the group, her hair unsuccessfully covering the deep blush on her features. Mortified the teacher put down the ruler and quickly shoved it in his pocket, forcing an embarrassed chuckle.  Hurrying over to his desk he exclaimed, "Hehe, You must be Tachikawa Miki am I right?"

"…Hai…" Sweat dropping Mimi answered, fidgeting as she could feel over a dozen pair of eyes glued to her. "That's me..."

"Aw...hahaha...." the sensei scratched his head, trying to regain his authority like presence. "Sorry you had to see such a weird sight on your first day..." he muttered.

"Oh...err…hahaha...that's all right," Mimi laughed forcefully, but internally wondered if the man was all there in the head. "Anyway," he started, turning back to the class. "Minna, this is our new student Tachikawa Miki."

An in an instant, the room erupted into whispers, as the class chattered quietly amongst themselves with sentences like:

"Wow...he's sort of cute"

"Nani? Are you homo?"

"He's one of those pretty boys."

"He'll be competition for Ken for the title..."

"He'd make a cute idol."

"Hey Matt! Isn't the new kid cute?" a particular bushy haired brunette asked, poking his blonde friend in the ribs.

Beside him the other boy just frowned and grumbled, "Don't tell me your turning into a homo."

"I'm just stating the obvious! He's one of those pretty boys." Taichi defended himself, glaring at him. "I'm not a homo!"

"You mean a bishounen," Yamato corrected him, irked that his friend didn't even know how to say pretty boy in Japanese.

"Yea...whatever," Taichi shrugged and then suggested, "Lets be friends with him!"

"Do whatever you want." Yamato scowled, looking away. The idea didn't concern him.

"Now class, I need a volunteer to show Tachikawa around," the teacher went on and numerous hands went up but nobody could ignore the boy with the big hair, jumping up and down shrieking, "Ooh! Me! Me!" *puts arm around Yama's neck* "Matt and I will show him around!"

"Nani? I never said I woul…ermf!" the blonde boy jumped, but before he could finish his sentence Taichi had shoved a white meat bun into his mouth, to keep him silent.

"Alright, Kamiya and Ishida will show you around campus after class." Glancing over at her two guides for the day, Mimi sweat dropped and thanked the man nervously. "T-Thank you sir."

"Please take a seat next to Koushiro-kun." Nodding, she walked over to the empty chair next to the short boy named Koushiro and sat down but not before noticing that Taichi had been watching her with a goofy grin plastered on his face. Blushing at this, she was startled when the short boy next to her started to talk and greeted, "Konnichiwa! Nice to meet you Miki-san."

"Eh? Oh! Konnichiwa, nice to meet you too Koushiro-kun." Mimi stumbled, smiling at the friendly boy.

"Aw...you don't have to call me that. Just call me Izzy, everyone else does." Koushiro vouched, feeling that the new kid wasn't a bad person.

"Thanks, Izzy." Flashing him a grateful smile, Mimi returned her attention back to the front of the room, as the teacher began his lecture. Beside her, a blush had crept onto Koushiro's cheeks and he quickly copied her actions, trying to hide his face. The voice of the teacher being drowned out by his contemplation, Koushiro snuck glances at the boy next to him. 'He...he really is sort of cute...wait. What am I saying? I'm not gay!' he panicked.

'Wow...Ishida...or should I say Yamato is going to be with me the whole day after class. Sure it's just a tour but I guess I should take everything I can get. Maybe I can become his friend? I hope so...that's the whole reason I came...well...that and fame...' Deep in thought she didn't stop until she noticed that the Taichi boy was still throwing her looks every once and awhile. 'What's with him? Maybe he's homo...' she thought, blushing. 'Hahaha! Yea right. I'm sure he's not...I'm just imagining it!'

********

A shrill bell ringing through the entire campus of the school, informed the students that class was over and soon everyone was rushing out of class. Getting her materials packed, she didn't even notice they were there until Mimi heard a distinct voice say, "Alright Miki-kun! Time for your tour!"

Grabbing onto her like a leech, Taichi grinned from ear to ear, while chattering on about all the things the school had to offer. Sweat dropping Mimi couldn't help but stare at the excited boy and mumble, "Eh...yea"

As they walked, unlike Taichi, Matt dragged himself out of class very slowly and didn't seem that excited. Noticing this, Mimi slowed her walking to his pace, and looked at him in concern, before asking, "Yamato-san? Are you all right?  Feeling sick? Do you want me to go get the doctor!?" By now she was on the brink of hysterics, thinking that her precious idol might be sick.

"Baka..." a deep voice growled, his tone slightly harsh.

"Eh?" Mimi sounded, confused by his reply. "So you're all right?"

Scowling at Yamato, Taichi gave her a goofy grin and explained, "Aw...don't mind him Miki-kun. He's always like a zombie when the last class of the day is out."

"…" Was the blonde's response.

"Oh I see! You had me worried there for a second Yamato-san!"

"Don't call me that..." Yamato answered, sounding more like a command than comment. "You hardly even know me."

"Oh…I'm sorry," Mimi answered dejectedly and sighed. But still…a tiny voice inside of her gushed at him and she spit out, "You're just like I imagined Yama! I mean Ishida-san! I'm glad that you're my new friend!"

Stopping his stride mid-step, Yamato frowned and began, "Who ever said that…oomph!" But before he could finish, Taichi had shoved another meat bun into his mouth, and trying to lighten the mood said, "Aw! But Miki-kun, you don't mind that I call you that right?"

Mimi gaped at them in surprise as she wondered where he pulled that from but dismissed it and said. "I don't mind Miki is fine." With a thought she added, "That goes for you too Ishida-san."

Grumbling Yamato chewed his food, with a scowl. And ignored Taichi as he shouted, "Anyway, it's time to start our grand tour! Yeeaahh!"

-TBC…?

A/N: So how did you like it? What do you think should happen next? Will Mimi fit in with the guys? Or will her gender be discovered? Oh so many possibilities so little time to write. Also 'Shin' is the Japanese name for Jyou's older brother.
