A/n: Hi! This is my first fanfic. I'm kinda nervous about it. I just want you to know that I hope you like this story! Just a quick note Maria is my own character. If you want to put her in your own story or whatever ask me ok? I also want to say that I know that a lot of people prefer to use E-mail for a lot of there communication with an author but my E-mail isn't on my profile because I don't want my E-mail out on the internet for anyone to get at. If you want to talk to me can you do it in a review? Please? Thanks a lot! Please read and review.

----Madrid Spain----

"You'll have fun," my dad said as we watched all of our stuff get loaded into the van that would take it to France.

"And if I don't?" I said accusingly.

"Then you'll just have to deal with it, Maria."

Sigh. I wish that things were different. I wish I had never met Chrishton. I wish I wasn't going to France. I wish I could ride in the van with all of my stuff and memories. Well, all the good ones at least. I think as I stare at the moving van.

"Maria! Let's go."

"Coming Dad!"

Oh well. Maybe it won't be all that bad. Then again maybe it will.

----Kadic Junior High School----

In the cafeteria 4 people sat together eating lunch. One of the boys, named Jeremie, had blond hair and was wearing a blue turtleneck sweater with tan pants. His glasses were sliding down his face as he typed furiously on his computer. The boy sitting next to Jeremie was named Odd. He was wearing a long sleeved purple V-neck shirt with a pink one under it peeking out from the V-neck and at the bottom of the shirt. One leg of his pants was light purple the other was dark purple. His blond hair had a purple splotch in it. His hair also stood up straight, defining the laws of gravity. Sitting across from Odd, was a brown haired boy named Ulrich, he wore an unbuttoned light olive shirt over a tan shirt with dark green pants. He was talking to the last person in the group, and the only girl, Yumi. She was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that showed her midriff, black pants and black boots. Just as odd was starting to eat his 4th helping of lunch a girl, with long black hair, pink shirt with a yellow heart on it, purple pants with a light purple skirt over them, came over to talk to Ulrich.

"Hello Ulrich, dear!"

"Oh, hello Sissy."

"Don't you want to come and sit over at my table?"

"I'd rather sit on a porcupine Sissy dear."

"Haha yeah so why don't you just go away Sissy? Unless you can find a porcupine I don't think Ulrich would come near you." Odd asked.

"Humph," she glared at Odd, "Fine but then I won't tell you about the new student that's coming." Sissy turned around and went back to her table, sitting by her cronies, Herb and Nicholas.

"What new kid is she talking about?" Jeremie asked.

"I think that it might be whoever is moving in down the street from me. My dad said that the guy is some sort of big insurance guy. Apparently he has a daughter our age maybe she's going to go here," Yumi said.

"Maybe," Odd said with a pondering look.

After lunch they all went to their next classes the look Odd's face forgotten by all in the boredom of afternoon classes.

----The Next Day During Science----

"Could this class BE anymore boring?" Odd wanted to know.

"Well," Ulrich, who was sitting next to him, said, "Ms. Hertz could ask you to do a pop quiz. That would be interesting."

"I meant interesting for me not you!"

Just then the door opened and the principle stood there with a girl in front of him.

"Mrs. Hertz this is your new student Maria Ravens," the principal said.

Maria stood there wearing a light blue shirt, dark blue jeans, a tan, corduroy book bag over one shoulder, and her brown hair was pulled up into a ponytail.

"Well, we're glad you're here! Why don't you tell us about yourself Maria?"

"I just moved here from Spain." Maria said. There was a pause for a moment.

"Anything else you want to add?" Ms. Hertz said with a smile.

"Not really Ms. Hertz I would just like to get started in your class I'm sorry I interrupted," she said in her best 'I'm a good girl' voice.

"All right, take the open seat by Jeremie. He will show you around after class. Now to continue what I was saying about how you would perform this experiment in a real lab."

Maria sat down next to Jeremie. She didn't even smile. She shot Jeremie a look that said 'you don't bother me, I don't bother you' She pulled a purple notebook out of her bag and began to take notes for class. Jeremie looked at Odd and Ulrich, who were seated behind them, with eyes that said 'what is HER problem?' Neither of them answered but Odd had a wistful look in his eyes. Jeremie was about to say something about it when Ms. Hertz asked him if he was paying attention.

----After Class----

"I guess I have to show you around now," Jeremie said in a tired voice.

"No, I can figure it out for myself." Maria said as she stood up and put her bag over her shoulder.

"Well I get out my next class to anyway so I might as well."

"No really, I've been a new kid over 10 times. I think I can figure out one school on my own." Maria said annoyed.

"Ah come on, it'll be… fun," Jeremie was trying to make it sound better then it was.

"Fine." They walked by the science building, the track, the cafeteria, and all the other buildings.

"… And these are the dorms," Jeremie explained, "I guess that's pretty much all of the grounds." Please let in be all so I can go and check up on Aelita Jeremie thought desperately.

"All right. Thanks for showing me around. See ya." Maria turned hastily around to go in to the dorms.

I wonder what her rush is. Oh well, must go check on Aelita. Jeremie rushed into his dorm and closed the door.
