Note: Okay, here are a few things that need to be clarified:

1. Kai isn't going to be portrayed as a snobby rich kid (I don't turn Kai that OOC; sure I may have him act as some innocent nice kid who worships the guide book, but not a snobby rich kid. ). He is respected among his friends, except with Tyson, etc (whoever argues with him and stuff). Kai will not be the most focused character in the story (leave that to the girls! Girl Power! ) but I might give him a special little part.

2. You know, Tai-writer, you actually gave me an idea when you wrote 'The 'Falls Caf' sounds like one of those fancy restaurants that don't usually welcome kids by themselves though'. I can't tell you what the idea is though, but rest assure that I will involve a large dose of Kai OOCness (which I absolutely love!) and that it will happen around the middle of the story! Thankies!

Okies then, I'll leave you all to read!


Of Classes And Explosions
Dorm 307, Mariah's POV

I stared.

"Please don't tell me these are our uniforms!" I finally exclaimed, as I examined the clothing in my hand with incredulous eyes.

The uniform was the most revolting piece of clothing I ever laid eyes on. There were black and white striped pants with a white shirt with a collar under a black jacket that had a collar and a red tie. Not exactly what I'd call neither 'nice' nor 'good color coordination' for that matter. If Hil were here, she'd say some sort of word I don't understand, like 'gauzy' or something.

Whatever that means.

"Those are our uniforms. Just deal, okay?" Came the slightly amused monotone from Kai, who just appeared out of nowhere beside me.

My look changed from incredulous to deadpan.

"I don't really think I can deal with zebra patterned pants if they make me look like some animal." Shuddering at the clothes, I turned to Kai and glared at him.

"Oh cheer up Mark. It's not that bad." I turned around and found Ray walking over to me, wearing the uniform, though he jazzed it up a bit. He seemed to pull it off very well.

The sleeves of the jacket were pushed up to the middle of his arms; the tie was loose, and two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. Ray didn't seem to do anything about the pants, but it wasn't like you could change anything about those zebra pants, unless you slopped paint on them (or something else that might get you in trouble).

Nonetheless, Ray looked very, very nice in his uniform.

I sighed. "I guess not, I mean I could slightly tweak it and stuff."

He gave me a smile "Good. Now you and Kai had better hurry and change cause class starts soon." He opened the door and walked out.

I was left staring, but only for a couple of seconds.

Then I walked to the bathroom, all the while looking at the 'uniform'.

I always wondered what I'd look like as an animal.

And besides, at least the tie matched my hair color (well my artificial hair color, really).

Dorm 306, Hilary's POV

"Just who came up with the idea of these uniforms?!" I demanded an answer.

Tyson shrugged "Who knows? The school board comes up with a different uniform idea each year. Last year we had Dalmatian patterned shirts and a purple tie." He shuddered and continued "Anyway Harry, you might want to hurry cause class is gonna start soon. Max already left." The bluenette glanced at the clock, and then headed into the bathroom to change.

I, on the other hand, just started quickly taking off my clothes (but kept on the denim vest) and changed into the uniform. Quickly studying myself, I decided to change the uniform a bit. Folded the sleeves of the jacket, unloosened the tie, and cut pants a couple of inches (only a couple) so I could actually see my shoes (the pants were very long after all).

I looked at myself for a couple of seconds, then jumped in surprise when Tyson ran out the bathroom, grabbed my wrist and pulled me out the room, all the while exclaiming "Come on, we have just an enough time to make it!"

I tried to ignore the tingle his hand gave my wrist.

Auditorium, Third Person's POV

Hilary and Tyson burst into the auditorium.

Hilary frowned in puzzlement looking at the crowds of boys that were seated. They were all either chatting with the person next to them or looking at the big stage thing with the microphone on a stand.

"Um, Tyson. I thought you said that classes start soon. Why are we in the auditorium?" Hilary asked confused as she followed Tyson to where Max, Ray, Kai, and a just as confused Mariah were seated somewhere in the front. They had their uniforms styled like Ray's or Hilary's.

"Well you see, on the first day on a 'new' start for a school year, Mr. D goes up to the front of the auditorium and says all the usual stuff you'd say on the first day of a 'new' school year. After that, you have 10 minutes 'til homeroom." Tyson explained as Hilary and he sat down.

"Which reminds me!" Max chirped in "Can I see your timetables you guys? I want to see the classes you're in!"

Hilary and Mariah dug into their pockets of the pants and gave the two sheets of paper to Max. They had received their timetables with the uniforms and found out they were in Year 7.

(AN: Okay, seeing as I've never been to boarding school, I'm going to have to make some of this stuff up. Let's pretend that there are 10 years in total for this boarding school, and in comparison of Middle School, Year 7 is like sophomore or junior year, I'll let you contemplate about the other years.)

"Cool, you guys are in the same homeroom and psychology class as all of us! Let's see, Harry you're in the same Drama, PE, and Art class as Kai, Tyson, Ray and I! Mark, you're in the same Chemistry, English Literature, and Creative Writing class as Kai, Tyson, Ray and I! You're both in the same French and Biology class with each other! And Harry, you're in the same-" Max got cut off as Kai covered his mouth with his hand.

They all stared at him.

"Max buddy, did you like memorize all our timetables or something?!" Tyson asked with an incredulous look, voicing what the others were thinking as well.

"No." Though his response was muffled it was still easy to hear and make out.

They all raised their eyebrows.

Max rolled eyes and brushed Kai's hand off his mouth, then answered "Okay, I might've had a little time on my hands and decided to use it to my...advantage."

Ray exclaimed "Max, we just got our timetables today, how could you have had time to read them?! Seeing as you never even went into our dorm!"

"Uh....."

".....you sneaked in didn't you?" Kai said.

"Mayb-"

"Welcome gentlemen, to another great school year of Bakuten's All Boys' school!" Mr. Dickinson greeted to the kids by speaking into the microphone. He waited a couple of moments for the kids to hush and stop speaking before continuing. "I hope you all try to make this a very happy year where you can all experience good things. On a side note, our old PE teacher, Mr. Andrew retired (so sad it was) so our new replacement Mr. Dennis was more than happy to comply. Now that that's all taken care of, enjoy your day students!" He finished talking and let the kids talk.

Hilary blinked and said "Well, that was certainly a bit...short."

Kai snorted "You'd want to keep that speech short if you were going to say it every single year. The only thing that wasn't teh same was the new PE teacher part." They all stood up and walked out the room, all the while talking.

Mariah's eyes grew wide and she exclaimed "He says the same speech every first day of new school year?! Woah, I'm surprised you guys didn't fall asleep!"

"Believe me, the thought was very tempting." Ray said and they all chuckled lightly "Anyway, can you believe that Mr. Andrew retired? He's been teaching PE in this school for over 20 years, I wonder why he decided to retire."

"Well the guy was over 50." Max reasoned. "And besides 20 years can be a long time. He probably grew tired of teaching the same thing for 20 years, I know I would."

"Look guys!" Tyson chirped as they stopped in front of a door with the number 25. "We're here!"

Hilary stared the brown door "Hey guys, is Ms. Sanders a good teacher?" She was the teacher they had for Homeroom.

"Yeah. She's fine. Not anything special and stuff, but she's pretty nice." Kai informed her. He pushed open the door and the students all walked in.

A female wearing a purple skirt that reached her ankles, a green flower designed long sleeved shirt that, with a green cardigan was sitting at her desk with a small smile on her face as she looked at the students already seated. She had blonde hair that was tied up in a bun with some gray hairs poking out, and warm brown eyes. The woman looked around 30-40 years.

"You must be the new kids. Mr. Dickinson told me all about you." She greeted Hilary and Mariah warmly "Why don't you stand in the front and tell us all about yourselves."

Inwardly the girls were smiling.

She seemed nice.

"We're waiting!" The friendly voice now had an edge of impatience to it.

Hilary winced.

'Maybe she's not as nice as I thought.' Mariah thought as she and Hilary walked to the front of the room, but not before catching the encouraging smiles of Ray, Tyson, and Max and the impassive look from Kai.

Math, Hilary's POV

This was the teacher?!

I had walked into Math after Homeroom and sat in a desk in somewhere near the center. The man at the desk was sipping coffee and reading the newspaper with a frown on his face. He was partly bald with brown hair with a few gray hairs and brown eyes. He was wearing light brown pants, a white collared shirt with a brown tie.

Talk about dull. He seems pretty easy.

The man stood up after he had finished reading and greeted the students with a grumpy tone "Hello, I'm Mr. Jones and I'll be teaching Math. I expect only the best from you. Mess up, and bad things will happen to you." He gave us all a glare and some of the kids gulped, me being one of them.

'Okay, so maybe Ray was right when he described Mr. Jones.' I thought, faltering my gaze on him when he turned to one of the students

"You there!" He pointed to a boy with red hair and freckles who sunk deeper into his seat "If train A travels at 50 mph from point A and train B at 70 mph from point B. At what point will these trains meet?"

"W-well i-it u-uh......." The boy stuttered nervously.

I felt for him, the guy was giving him a very scary glare after all.

"Time's up! You get extra homework!" Mr. Jones barked then turned his gaze to another boy with brown hair and blue eyes "You! YxN5-12=112, what does Y and N equal?!"

"....." The boy just stared at Mr. Jones with a petrified look on his face.

"Time's up! Extra homework!" Mr. Jones rolled his eyes and muttered "Honestly, this class is just hopeless." He moved onto some more of his other poor victims.

'Might as well kiss my hopes of ever liking this teacher goodbye.' I thought dryly as I watched the kids get butchered (not literally though).

I wonder how Mariah was doing......

Chemistry, Mariah's POV

Kai glared at me warningly.

I rolled my eyes. We were paired up for Chemistry and weren't exactly enjoying it. I had wanted to try and mix vinegar with acid and wanted to see what would become of it.

Of course, Kai being the ass he was, refused.

"You're going to cause an explosion with those chemicals. I can't allow you to get points taken off us." The bluenette told me sternly.

"Oh come on!" I argued. "It's just sodium and acid! Sodium is perfectly harmless; it's used in milk for Pete's sake!"

"That's calcium." He corrected.

"Whatever!" I rolled my eyes and continued "Anyway, I'm absolutely sure nothing harmful will come out of it!" I moved to take the tube of acid but Kai grabbed my wrist and stopped my hand.

"You're not mixing those chemicals together."

I glared at him "Yes I am!"

"No you won't!"

"Yes I am!"

"No you won't!"

"Yes I am!"

"No y-"

"Children, what is going on here?! You're disturbing the class." Ms. Barbour said as she walked up to us.

My cheeks turned slightly pink from embarrassment when I realized everyone really was staring at us. Kai also had the same reaction, which I would've teased him about if I wasn't in front of a teacher.

"We weren't doing anything Ms. Barbour, just 'discussing' the use of what chemicals to.....use." Kai said the 'discussing' sarcastically, but Ms, Barbour didn't notice.

Ms. Barbour raised an eyebrow and replied "I doubt that. Mark, since you're new here I'll let you go with a warning. Kai however will have to get extra homework for stooping so low."

I stuck my tongue out at him, but recoiled when I saw his glare.

Then, when Ms. Barbour turned away to look at some of the other kids, I grabbed the sodium and acid, poured them together (paying no attention to the scream Kai made in the background).

The next few things happened so fast.........

Library, Third Person's POV

They all stared.

Max, Ray, Tyson, and Hilary were doing their homework (well it was more like Ray and Max were doing their homework while Hilary was trying to get Tyson to do his), when Mariah and Kai walked in. They were covered from head to toe (except for the eyes) in what seemed like soot. Mariah was looking sheepish under Kai's glare that was directed at her.

Max was the first one to say something. "What happened to you guys? Why do you look like you just survived an explosion or something?!"

Mariah chuckled nervously "That's probably because we did survive an explosion."

Kai said "Yeah, which wouldn't have happened if you actually listened to me."

Mariah laughed nervously and continued "Anyway, this is what happened......."

:Flashback Starts:

KABOOM!

I immediately ducked as soon I heard the explosion, kids were screaming, the mad old bat (A.K.A Ms. Barbour) was shrieking, and I was under the table.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"It's the end of the world!"

"We're all gonna die!"

"I want my mommy!"

"My lab! My precious lab! Oh no, oh no!'

"You idiot! I told you so! But no.........no ever listens to me!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

I finally got up from the table and what I saw really, really, really, shocked me. Chips of plaster were off, the tables were badly damaged, kids were under their tables, Kai was also under the table with me (and had a look of panic on his face I might add) which I didn't notice, and Ms. Barbour was hiding under her desk, and everyone was covered in dust.

All in all, it looked like a wrecking ball was trying to demolish the room.

Heh, who knew sodium and acid, could cause such a thing?

:Flashback Ends:

"You've gotta be kidding." Hilary said deadpanned.

Mariah shook her head "Nope, not kidding. That really was quite an explosion. I and Kai ran out the room the second the bell rang so Ms. Barbour didn't get a chance to do anything to us."

Max whistled "Remind me to never let you touch the food in case you accidentally mix two sauces together and cause another explosion."

Mariah glared at him "I didn't do that bad!" She plopped down into the seat next to Hilary and crossed her arms.

Kai snorted as he too seated himself next to Ray "Please, you caused an explosion in class so big that I bet it's gonna have to be under construction or something. And by the way, I did not have 'a look of panic' okay!"

Mariah rolled her eyes "Yeah, yeah. How was Math Hilary? Was it really as bad as Ray made it out to be?" She teased.

Hilary shuddered and answered "That and worse. He started springing Math questions at random people and if they couldn't answer them quickly enough they got extra homework. Luckily, I was one of those fortunate who Mr. Jones didn't get to ask. But....you know what was weird? Every time he succeeded in scaring a kid and giving him extra homework, he would glance at me so fast that I wasn't even sure he looked at me in the first place. But when he did (at least, when I think he did), it was like he knew something. Something about me, I don't know what, but it was like he....knew something." Hilary ended lamely.

Silence rang in the library.

Ray was the first to break it "I'm sure it was nothing. You probably imagined it. And besides, Mr. Jones can have that affect on you, really intimidate you and stuff." He shrugged nonchalantly and turned back to his homework.

Hilary smiled and mentally agreed. She caught Tyson about to eat a Hershey chocolate.

"Tyson!" She swiped the candy before the bluenette could devour it, earning herself a glared "You're supposed to be working on your homework!"

"Can't I eat first?!" He whined.

"No, homework comes first!"

"Food comes first!"

"Homework!"

"Food!"

"Homework!"

"Food!"

"HOMEWORK!"

"FOOD!"

"HOMEWORK!"

"FOO-"

"That's it! You're not staying here any longer!" Hilary and Tyson stopped arguing as the librarian, Ms. Connor grabbed both of their arms and pushed them the door and onto the hallway.

Max, Ray, Mariah, and Kai all stared at what happened.

Mariah finally let out a whistle "Woah, that's like the first time Harry's ever been kicked out the library! I wonder how he's taking it."

Some Hallway: Third Person's POV

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"NO IT ISN'T!"

"WELL, MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY DID YOUR HOMEWORK IN THE FIRST PLACE WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS SITUATION!"

"I WAS TRYING TO EAT!"

"WELL, HOMEWORK COMES FIRST!"

"FOOD DOES!"

"HOMEWORK!"

"FOOD!"

"HOMEWORK!"

"FOOD......."

And you know what happens next........


Chapter Three Ends..........TBC

Note: Sorry if you thought this chapter was a bit pointless, at least I put in some humor. Next chapter, we'll see a lot of plot development, plus some more of what happens in other classes in the next chapter! And as for the sodium and acid thing, I have no real idea if it would work or not, but I'd advise you to not try it!

Don't you dare forget to review! Long reviews are always welcome (though I'm not ever less happy by short ones too!), feedback is appreciated, and praise is cherished! Thanks for taking the time to read!
