The New Arrivals

"Damn! Get up! Get up!" Spire kicks his sister's bed. "We were supposed to be gone an hour ago!"

"What are you talking about, brother?" Aurora peeks from under her covers and, seeing Spire clad only in his black nightshorts, quickly closes her eyes. "You could at least wear something over that." She says.

"We were supposed to leave for the airport an hour ago!" Spire pulls the covers, and his sister along with them, off the bed. "Get dressed quickly, we need to go ASAP!" Spire runs to the door,grabbing a pair of pants and a shirt on his way, to leave Aurora alone to dress herself.

"What's with him?" Aurora asks herself as she stands. Walking over to her dresser, Aurora untangles herself from her bedcovers.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Spire down the hall. "I'll be in the car." Aurora couldn't believe her parents made her share a car with him.

"Of all the people." She pulls on a silky blue blouse and a denim skirt. Her brother always laughed when he saw her with those clothes on.

Later

"Whew! Made it just in time." Spire stumbles upon the plane and stops to catch his breath. He was finally out of the US and over to France.

"Just sit down." Aurora drags her brother to their seats.

After 6 or 8 hours

"You mean you don't know where the school is?!?" Aurora screams at her brother outside the Paris airport.

"Hey hey, calm down!" Spire backs up a few steps.

"CALM DOWN!!! YOU'RE THE ONE THAT WAS RUSHING ME THIS MORNING!" Aurora yells in Spire's ear.

and they're there

"So you two are the ones that are from America?" the Principal asks.

"White America-" Spire starts, but Aurora hits him hard in the shoulder.

"Don't you dare!" She hisses at him. "Yes sir, we've been transferred from America." Aurora tells the Principal.

"Well, everything looks in order." the Principal looks over Spire and Aurora's transfer papers again. "You're free to go. Just don't be late to your classes tomorrow."

"Yes sir." Aurora and Spire say together.

moments later

"Different rooms? Why?" Spire asks his sister, who rolls her eyes.

"You moron." Aurora says and shakes her head. "Go find your room and I'll find mine." Aurora leaves a sulking Spire in the hall and goes off to find her room.

Spire looks around as he wanders the halls in a half daze. After a few minutes of wandering, he finds the dorm he was assigned. He looks down the hall and sees a blonde kid with black glasses leave a room two doors down. He and Spire lock eyes fro a moment, and Spire knew. He didn't know how he knew, but he KNEW. Spire opens the door to his dorm and enters quickly, leaving the blonde kid to shrug and procede down the hall to the lunch room. Spire pulls out his cell phone and dials his sister's number. "Aurora, listen. The'res someone here that knows of Great-Grandpa's Project. I just got a bad feeling from the guy a few doors down."

"Look, they dismantled the Project after it killed three of Great-Grandpa's collegues. It can't be operating again. Your feelings are nothing more than your own fear of those stories." Aurora hangs up on him. Spire hangs his head and drops his suitcase on his bed. He left the room, his head still down. Suddenly, Spire finds himself sitting on the floor, staring into the eyes of a pink-shirted & skirted girl. "I'm terribly sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." he says.

"You're darn right you weren't watching! Hitting a pretty girl like me." the girl stands and turns her nose up. Two guys come running around the corner, one with a green shirt and denim pants while the other wore a blue shirt with red short-shorts, practically knocking the girl over again.

"There you are, Sissy. Lunch is almost over." the one with the green shirt says.

"Watch where you're going Herb!" Sissy tells him.

"But lunch-" the other boy starts.

"Lunch sounds good right about now." Spire says.

"You don't know who you've just bumbed into, do you?" Sissy asks Spire, who shakes his head. "Figures. i am the Principal's daughter. Sissy's the name." she offers her hand to Spire, in friendship and for aid.

"Spire, Spire Xion." He takes her hand ands stands up. "I just transferred in from the States."

"That's nice." The boy with the blue shirt says.

"Shut up Nicolas." Sissy tells him. "Spire? That's an odd name." she turns back to the new student. "You can tell me all about the States at lunch." Sissy grabs Spire's arm, drawing a death-glare fromHerb, and drags him towards the cafetiria.

Upon entering, Spire spots his sister sitting with the blonde guy from the hall, another blonde guy(this one with purple & pink clothes), a brunette guy with a brown jacket, and a black clothed black haired girl. Aurora sees him and waves, then stops when she notices Sissy. "Hey, who's that?" Aurora asks the black-haired girl.

"That's Sissy, the principal's daughter. She's a major pain." the other girl replies.

"You don't have to be so nice about it, Yumi. She's stuck-up and that's all to it." the brunette says. Aurora gets up and walks over.

"Hey Spire, who's you're new girlfriend, hmmm?" she gets in Spire's face after looking Sissy over, drawing a slight blush from him with her words.

"Girlfriend! How dare you!" Sissy says.

"If you're not his girlfriend, then why're you holding his arm?" Aurora smiles evilly.

"Well, uhh, ummm." Sissy stammers, drawing laughter from the table Aurora had left.

"She's finally off my back Odd!" the brunette says to the purple-clad boy between his laughs.

"About time. Some people just can't take a hint, huh Ulrich?" Odd says.
