NOTE: No flames and this is A/U.

A/n: What's up? This is my first fan fiction here on I hope you enjoy it. I'm a sucker at regular fictions, like the afterwards of an ending of a story…but, oh well. I am going to make a high school fiction. Bear with it…I go to high school and would like to write about high school life for the characters of "Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time" and I hope you can read it and find it amusing and entertaining. The weird thing is that people at my school talk about this new movie on television… "High School Musical", now I don't even watch Disney Channel (sometimes I do, I'm so childish ). Why would I? I only watch myself through anime, and at times, I get ideas from J-Doramas (Japanese Dramas), Chinese Dramas, Korean Dramas, and foreign movies (mostly Chinese, Japanese, Korean (Asian!) etc.). Well, all that should be in my profile. This story isn't about me, lol! Well, enjoy the story and I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed typing it.

Chapter One

Another glistening spring day here at the city of Yokohama, a diverse city, a beautiful city, and it was in the future of the new glory days. It was beautiful morning, and a sleepy head moved groggily from side to side almost collapsing from the bed. Then, as all hell would break lose from your peaceful slumber and awaken you from all your dreams, the new cross line surely wouldn't fix all of things. The hell was an alarm clock. It gave away all your passions from the dream, but surely woke you up from a nightmare. The sleeping figure fell off her bed, and onto her back, straight on the floor. Her red hair sticked to her face and she didn't open her eyes for the longest time until she made movement. She hit the alarm clock with her hand and shook herself awake.

'Okay, I'm awake, I'm awake. Now, I need to take a shower and get ready for school…'

Never in many days was she once late to school. She was prepared, fast, sleek, sophisticated. One of the most well known, and organized girls in school surely had to make herself get to school on time and very appropriately. As she went into the bathroom and turned on the light, the illumination caused her to groan. As she looked in herself in the mirror, she could tell that she was a mess, and began to brush her teeth. Soon, she forced herself into the shower without hesitation, and still shook her head to wake up and not just stand there and let the water run down her body. What had kept her up so late?

'Gosh, this is unbearable. The studying, the test, the…everything has too much of the effect of pressure on it!'

She applied shampoo, soap, and neatly rinsed as the water flowed. She had to hurry up and make sure that at least she get some good breakfast. She got out of the shower, dressed, and looked into the mirror again. Face clean, smelled clean, and looked clean. Perfect look for the perfect day, and nothing was going to ruin because she was going to ace the test! She grabbed her book bag and hopped down the stairs and saw her roommate already their drinking orange juice and eating toast.

"Good morning Clair. Why didn't you wake me up?" The red head asked as she grabbed the carton of orange juice and poured some in a glass for her.

The roommate sat their smiling as she sipped her juice and let it trickle down her throat, enjoying the sweetness, "I don't know. I went their in and out telling you to wake up but all you did was moan and say how much you didn't care. I guess you had a pleasant dream. Gosh, I don't know, about Cliff."

The orange juice that the red head was drinking suddenly became bitter, and burned her tongue. She spat the whole thing out and opened her eyes wide, "What! As if, the most popular guy in school! He's so cocky! No way! You're lying!" She grabbed a towel and started to wipe the mess she made. She shook, as she wiped.

'No way, I couldn't have. Sure, he's cute, but…hey! What am I saying!'

"Hey, Nel, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I have a crush on Albel and he doesn't know. We're best friends and we trust each other. Very well that is." Clair exclaimed and the red head Nel sighed with relief and glared at her.

"I don't have a crush on him. No way, he's good looking is what he is." Nel scratched her head, as she flushed a light shade of pink.

"Sure, sure, say what you want. But then again, he has a girlfriend." She stood up and patted Nel on the head.

"Yeah, like Albel isn't popular and doesn't have a girlfriend either. He's cold, self-centered, and arrogant." Nel ate an apple, since she didn't feel having a juice anymore. She bit the apple and closed her eyes, trying to enjoy the flavor of something besides an apple.

'Did I really say that? What the hell had gotten into me?'

"Shall we go to school now Nel?" Clair asked. Nel nodded and grabbed her bag as they went into the garage.

--

For the longest time, Nel stared at Clair and made out her features. Her skin was velvet soft, and so pure that it didn't even need make-up. Her eyes were enchanting blue, and hair a mix of ash gray, and navy blue. Her lips curled on the side, making her look like she was a bubbly person all the time. Clair looked at Nel and eyed her awkwardly.

"What?" Clair asked.

"I don't know. Your real lucky Clair, you're beautiful, smart, have your own car. I wish I were you." Nel smiled and leaned back into her seat.

"Why thank you Nel, but this is my dad's car, and my mom's features. I have to study if I want a good life ahead of me." Clair replied back, "My dad is a business man, and I don't want to be lazy and have my life depended on him. Sure, he may be rich, but ever since my mom died I always wanted to take actions for myself, you know."

Nel sat there for the longest time, "I understand, it's great having a friend like you Clair."

Clair giggled, and they were off to school, on a beautiful glorious morning.
