The New Kid
Chapter 1: Friends and Enemies
Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun. (Duh! But I guess I might as well say so.)
Okay, so this isn't your normal GS fic. It's basically about Isaac being a new kid at the Vale high school. It's set in modern times, but it does eventually get more Golden Sun-ish later.

"Hey Isaac!"
Isaac turned to see Jenna wave as she passed. Isaac smiled back before putting another text book in his locker and taking out his Algebra 3/Trigonometry book. As Isaac reached for his notebook, his locker suddenly slammed with a bang, making Isaac snap his hand back and clutch his books to his chest.
"So, what's the deal? Has Jenna got eyes only for the new guys?"
Isaac looked up and to the right to find himself face-to-face with the high school's pretty-boy, Alex, whose left palm was still flat against the door to Isaac's locker.
"Alex, right? Would you mind taking your hand off my locker now?" Isaac said, glaring up at the senior, who was good few inches taller than him, a junior.
Alex smiled down at Isaac. "Sure. Whatever you say, New Kid." With that, Alex turned and walked away.
Isaac hurriedly reopened his locker, grabbed his notebook, and speed-walked to class.
*********
"So, how ya likin' this school so far?" said Garet, sitting with his arms crossed on the edge of his desk next to Isaac.
Isaac, who was frantically searching his notebook for his homework, hadn't even noticed Garet enter the room. "Hmm? Oh, it's okay...I guess..."
"I noticed you with Alex out in the halls. Don't let that guy ruffle ya. He's never been too nice to the lower classmen, except for Jenna and Mia." Garet's friendly smile grew so big, Isaac was almost amazed that it still fit on his face. "Some people say he can be quite the ladies man." Garet started to snicker.
"I don't know what's so funny, but this is a classroom, not a stand-up comedian show," stated the Algebra 3 teacher, entering the room. Garet stopped laughing and almost fell into his seat. Isaac almost broke out laughing himself. "And for future reference, the desks are meant for books, not butts."
"He he, sorry Mrs. Maris."
*********
As class began and the students took notes on the trigonometric identities, Isaac thought about how quickly he and Garet had become friends. He had also made friends with some other people. There was the blue-haired Mia in his World History class, Felix in Biology, and the sweet but short tempered Jenna in English 3. He had even made friends with two freshmen, Sheba and Ivan, at lunch. They had shown him how the lunch line worked on his first day.
Isaac smiled to himself. He had actually done quite well since his arrival at Vale High two days before. Before then, he had been mostly a loner at his school in Tolbi. He and his mother moved to the small town of Vale only a week ago after planning the move for almost three years...
Isaac's smile faded. He stopped taking notes. He could hear Mrs. Maris talking, but nothing was registering as he started to remember that night...
"...sine equals y over radius..."
Sign... The sign had warned them about the rocks...
Isaac...
Yes...Dad?
Isaac?
Dad...hold on
Isaac!
Don't go!
ISAAC!!
A ruler smacked down on the desk before Isaac. Isaac gasped as he jumped, snapping back to reality.
"Are you going to take notes or daydream all day?" It was Mrs. Maris.
Isaac stared at the ruler as he sorted his thoughts again. "I...I'm sorry, Mrs. Maris..." Isaac shook his head. "It won't happen again." Isaac felt himself turning red as students giggled and Mrs. Maris walked back to the front of the room. Isaac kept his head down for the rest of class, unaware of Garet watching him.
*********
That afternoon, Isaac was quick in getting to his locker. He was just starting to close it when the door was slammed shut again, and, once again, there was Alex.
"What do you want this time?" demanded Isaac.
"A fight."
"What?"
"You heard me." Alex towered over Isaac, glaring down at him. "All the girls ever do anymore is talk about you, New Kid. Well, I want them to talk me again, and only me. And, since you're the new kid, I'll be nice. You can take the first swing."
"I don't like to fight." Isaac turned to leave, but found he was surrounded by four of Alex's friends.
"That's too bad, 'cause I do." Isaac turned to face Alex who was only a few steps away and getting nearer. Isaac frantically looked around him, quietly begging for someone, anyone, to save him. A circle had started to form around them in preparation for a fight, but no sign of anyone willing to help him. Giving up, Isaac looked back to Alex.
"Leave him alone, Alex," demanded a voice. Isaac and Alex both turned towards the voice as Garet pushed the senior Agatio aside and stepped between Isaac and Alex.
"Garet." Alex glared at him for a moment before shrugging and grinning. "Oh well, not much room in these small halls anyways." He turned to leave, then paused. "But I will get my fight someday. Perhaps sooner than you think." And with that, he walked away, his friends close behind.

Well, that was fun! My very first Golden Sun fic!
Isaac: That explains why it's saved as "golden sun story 1" on your computer.
So? I didn't even think about a real title until I was uploading it.
Isaac: I thought you liked me. Why are you making into such a wimp?
You're not a wimp, just a new kid at a new school. Don't like it, then join the club!
Felix: Besides, not much fun if you're always being the hero that saves the day.
Isaac: You're one to talk!
-__- Would you two knock it off! Anyways, R&R.
Garet: What are flames?
Beats me. I guess it's some writing term I'll learn sooner or later (hopefully later, or not at all.)
