The Key to Starlight (High School AU)
AN : Heyooo~! I'm back to keep ya busy while I'm proof reading TiLiD. Yep, ya heard me. THAT STORY IS FINALLY GETTING UPDATED. So sorry for having to wait for TOO long. I've been dreaming about this AU for far too long to not let it happen. It's gonna be multi chaptered, but idk how long. However, things will progress a lot more differently here, so expect a lot more romance around the edges of this story since I promised whatever I post here WILL HAVE ROMANCE, and I'll just have to give it tons of humor, since I really don't have to keep it serious and dark themed all the time. Remember, I AM taking requests from you guys. If you're dying to see something, just LET IT GO and tell me. I'll try and give my best shot in writting your desires. Did I mention the rating might go up to M *innocent face*? While I'm still practicing my *AHEM* M-rated ficlets, that does not mean you can't help me. Long story short, no matter what kind of suggestion you have, I'm listening.
We'll talk about this lateh. Now let's proceed!
Disclaimer : Braum is the best freakin Freljord champ I've ever seen, too bad I don't own him, like whatever you find from LoL in this story.
Soft rythmical and padded footsteps resounded against the concrete road. The owner of those steps moved swiftly, abeit there was a slight hesitation in her actions. Her brown leather boots collided against the road with a soft thump at every step, her gaze never leaving the building which represented her final destination.
She took a turn, as the distance between her and the respective building became shorter and shorter. She came to a halt a good distance away from it's stairs, the silence surrounding it betraying the actual buzz of a new day of Monday.
The girl was average in height, the most particular asset of hers a pair of observing, soft, icy blue irises. Her brown hair was long, two short bangs framing her petite face, while the rest was in a high pony tail and flowed gracefully down her back in waves, almost passing her bottom. She donned a simple black undershirt, over which was a blue blouse that covered her left shoulder while exposing the other. Flowing gracefully from under the blue blouse, there was a simple white skirt that was halfway the distance of her thigh, a pair of white shorties carefully hidden under it. On her left shoulder, a simple, black backpack with accents of white and blue could be seen laying idly, as she kept her left hand on the respective shoulder strap.
She sighed silently, as her eyes observed the image before her. The building was tall, probably up to three stories. The main entrance consisted of a pair of big glass double doors, a staircase leading up to them, railings on each side of the staircase. Covering the main entrance, there was a small rooftop coming out of the structure, a plaque on the main side of it, two flags on the each other left side, moving softly in the idle breeze.
She couldn't help but arch an eyebrow when her eyes landed upon the plaque. Her icy eyes read along the lines of it, the anxiety that was previously present on her slowly starting to turn into a small monster inside her head.
Welcome to The Insitute of War! the plaque read, and she could not help but wonder, how it come they would choose such a name for a highschool. Truthfully, the highschool itself was surnamed 'The League of Legends' , mostly because the kids who learned at this highschool were truly legends in knowledge even beyond the boundaries of Valoran, the country it found itself in.
She slowly started climbing the stairs, one hand coming to rest on one of the railings. She slowly approached the doors, as one hand came to push them open. Entering the building, she found it even more quiet than it had been on the outside. Right on the oposite wall she could see a glass case, filled with throphies and medals from all the competitions the students took part in. And there were many, many, many, golden ones.
As she approached the glass case, she observed two hallways stretching on either side of her. There were also numerous doors on each side of it, but as she took the hallway from one end to the other, she couldn't see the principal's office anywhere.
There were parts of the hallways that were lined with lockers, and there were kinda many for that matter. Caught in a difficult situation, she cursed her sister for the unknownth time in her mind for not coming with her.
''Why should I come with you?'' the taller and older girl asked, an amused expression all over her face. She was washing the dishes when her younger sister interrupted with what she considered a puerile request.
''Because,'' the younger girl began, the fear of who knows what slightly obvious on her face and voice. ''I barely know my way around the town, I'll be totally lost in the highschool.'' she explained, and huffed in frustration at her sister's disinterested face. ''Look, you just have to come with me and once I meet the principal you can go home. But please Zayenn!'' the younger girl begged, and the older sibling only sighed while shaking it's head amusedly.
''I can't come with you Akyo. I have plenty of things I have to do on my own today.'' she returned to her previous action of washing the dishes as she spoke. ''And you're sixteen for the love of God. I'm sure you can handle yourself in a highschool.''
'Well, thanks for nothing.' she thought bitterly, as her aimless wondering across the hallways of the building didn't lead anywhere. She continued walking down the road in front of her, and she intended to return to the main entrance when the shrill sound of a ringing bell emanated in the air.
''Oh no.'' she muttered for herself, as she could see waves of students flowing from each class, all of them focused on their own problems. They were very considerate as to not bump into her, as Akyo tried to move trough the now slightly crowded hallways.
She couldn't deny, she was kinda surprised. Every student looked unique in his own way, and she meant it literally. She saw one of them having some sort strange blueish aura covering his eyes, while one of the girls had what seemed like nine tails of a fox. Indeed, things were kinda strange in this highschool, but they weren't above the average yet.
''LOOK OUT!'' a high pitched voice yelled somewhere in front of Akyo, and if it was anybody else, whatever was moving at an alarming high speed would've collided with them pretty badly. However, given her actual childhood and everything she's been trough until the present, Akyo developed superhuman reactions.
Side stepping at the last moment, she managed to avoid what seemed to be a little boy, moving almost way too fast for a normal human. She didn't caught much of his appearance, mostly because of the way he was moving, and secondly, trough some unknown means when she tried putting her foot back on her ground to regain balance, she tipped on her other foot and she found herself falling backwards.
Well, isn't that a way to start your first day in highschool?
However, she never touched the floor. A pair of arms caught her from behind, stopping her body from colliding painfully with the cold, honed floor. With a soft huff of air coming from her mouth, Akyo took one second to regain her senses before remembering where she was. She swiftly raised back to her feet, pink dust covering her cheeks in embarassment. She turned on her heels and looked at her saviour.
''I'm extremely sorry.'' she apologized genuinely as she took a good look at the boy who caught her. He merely shrugged at her apology. He had messy brownish bangs which covered his eyes slightly. There was bored stare coming from his red irises, his face set in a indiferent mask. He had a simple black shirt, with red accents here and there and dark blue, over the knee long trousers with a pair of simple sneakers.
If there was something that caught her own eye, there was his own pair of crimson orbs. While his face looked bored and uninterested, his gaze was observing, looking at her from head to toe. She let another trail of pink dust her cheeks unconsciously at this thought, and she averted her gaze, afraid she might've been staring at him for far too long.
''Haven't seen you around. You must be new here.'' he began, and there was that something again about his voice, but she dismissed whatever thought she had about it and looked at him in the eyes. Despite all the embarassment she felt, she tried to crack a smile.
''Uh, yes I am new. I was actually looking for the principal's office when the bell went off...'' she let the sentence hang in the air for a moment, before she spoke again. ''Mind if you help me find it? If it's not too much of a trouble.'' she explained quickly, and saw the amused stare he gaze her, a slight smirk on his seemingly always indiferent features.
''Follow me.'' he commanded simply and she obeyed, carefully to not step on anything and try to avoid anything that came at her. The highschool was now filled with life, a total opposite from the almost stranded building she found herself in earlier.
She kept walking next to the boy she'd just met, and she couldn't help the slight quick of her lips when she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. He seemed like a nice guy, after he prevented her from hitting the floor like an idiot and now showing her the way to the principal's office. He tried hiding his emotions under a mask, but she could see right trough it, she always had a gift for reading people easily. While he looked cool and unaffected on the exterior, he was a really warm heart on the interior.
''Here it is.'' he spoke again, waking her up from her daze. Slightly shaking her head, she looked at the plaque over the door. Indeed, in bold, golden letters 'Principal's Office, Vessaria Kolminye' was written upon it, and she made small sound of approval.
''Thanks a lot.'' she told him, another small and warm smile on her face. He dismissed it with a slight roll of his eyes. She hesitated slightly in entering the office, and there was an awkward silence surrounding them.
''Well...'' he began, sensing the discomfort as well, ''see you around, I guess.'' she cringed inwardly at that. So he was also awkward with people. Well, there was something they had in common.
She nodded, as she put her hand on the doorknob and smiled at him one more time before entering the office. The room was medium in size, a big mahogany desk somewhere in the front. Two chairs made out of the same material were in front of it, a big, round, black and white rug covering most of the floor in the middle. There were cabinets around the walls, and three big windows covered the front wall, showering the room with sunlight.
Sitting behind the desk there was a middle aged woman, dressed in a formal suit. She still looked pretty young, a slight touch of the late thirties she was in on her face. Her skin was slightly darker in color, blue orbs focused solely on the paper she was curently scribbling on. Her hair was mostly pulled back, a few strands of black hair coming out of it's hold.
Akyo simply stood at the door, the principal too busy in her scribbling to notice her probably. She let her eyes wander across the room when she heard the elder woman clear her throat and speak.
''Miss you can come and have a seat.'' she said simply, as her scribbling continued. Akyo started walking towards her, removing her backpack from her shoulder and setting it to the foot of the chair she sat on, as she waited for the principal to speak again.
It wasn't long before she did. ''So you are the girl who transfered here, am I right?'' she questioned and Akyo nodded firmly. The principal looked trough some of the drawers of her desk and pulled some sort of case file, which she opened and started reading trough it, but Akyo couldn't see anything. ''It is stated by your previous school principal that you present amazing physical abilities.'' the principal noted with an arched eyebrow in question, while Akyo gulped and nodded. The elder woman returned her attention towards the case file. ''You are very good in hand to hand combat and also present knowledge in martial arts. A karate club perhaps?'' the principal inquired and Akyo shifted uneasy in her chair.
''Y-Yes. I was part of my school's karate club, until I was incapacitated and couldn't fight anymore. I was offered the chance to start competitve play again, but due to my injury I had to settle down for the previous year.'' Akyo explained, and hoped the principal wont pry any further. That part of her past was really ugly and dark, and she really didn't wanted to think about it anymore.
As if she sensed her great discomfort, Vessaria said no more and closed the case file. Stashing it away in one of her drawers, she picked two sheets of paper from another. She started scribbling down on one of them, and after she signed it, she handed both of them to Akyo.
''Miss Akyo,'' she began, her eyes a little bit too cold for Akyo's comfort, ''for today since you have no books, you will show this piece of paper to all of your teachers to let them know and pardon you only for today. Tomorrow, you shall be considered as any other student here in the Institute.'' she took a small pause before continuing. ''You can show the same piece of paper to the librarian, who will give you all the books you need. Secondly, you'll head now for the secretary which is opposite and ask for your schedule. You'll show her this to let her know.'' Vessaria explained, holding up the second piece of paper.
Akyo nodded as she stretched and picked both of the papers. Keeping them securely in her hands, she raised from her seat and picked up her backpack. Throwing it casually over her left shoulder, she turned around and headed for the door. The principal returned to her scribbling without anything as much as a glance and Akyo left her room.
She headed for the secretary, the door opposite just as Principal Kolmynie said. Knocking softly on the door, she grabbed the knob and twisted. The office was slightly smaller, but in the same fashion the other one was. The woman on the desk looked older than the principal, a pair of glasses on top of her nose. Her head snapped up when she heard the door open and let a small smile on her face when she saw who entered.
''With what can I help you?'' the secretary asked politely, as Akyo handed her the paper. She narrowed her eyes at it for a while, before she turned her attention back to the computer she was previously typing at and started typing with an amazing speed again. Not long after, the printer started making noise, and a sheet of paper with a chart on it came out. The secretary raised from her seat and grabbed the paper, handing it to Akyo.
''Here it is your schedule. Your class is A2, your homeroom teacher Mrs. Starcall.'' she paused and glanced at a clock on a nearby wall. ''Lunch period is coming soon, so you will have plenty of time to reach your classroom. I do believe Mrs. Starcall had already been informed of a new student joining her class, so you don't need to worry. You can find your classroom on the first floor, not far from the library.'' the secretary explained, the same slight smile on her face all the time. Akyo looked up at the older woman and smilled in agreement. Taking her schedule, she turned on her heels and headed for the door.
True to her word, the bell rang not long after Akyo left the secretary. Right now, she planned on getting to library, but she had to go trough the main interior yard to do so. It was pretty nice outside, with benches here and there for students to relax. She made it halfway before she bumped into someone that wasn't there before.
''I'm sorry.'' she apologized, as she tried to pass the person, but it moved in front of her. Her eyes were on the floor, but she raised them and looked at the respective. He was a lot taller than her, and had the start of a really strange moustache on his face. His hair was weirdly done too, but what disturbed her the most was his smile.
''Hey there baby. Haven't seen you around.'' he said smugly, and Akyo cringed inwardly. She kept her face blank, altho she was quite sure it slightly betrayed her disgust. With her eyes fixed on the person in front, she tried backing out, not wanting to cause any scene. However, she bumped into somebody again, as she turned around and saw another boy, glaring down at her. He had short brown hair and a scowl was present on his face, and he seemed very physically evolved for his age.
''Aw, come on. Don't be like that.'' the boy with the moustache began, as he grabbed Akyo rather roughly by her arm. She cringed, while balling her fists. As things progressed, her plans about not causing any scene were beeing thrown out the window. ''Draaaaaven just wants to get a better look at your face, that's all.''
''Too bad I don't want to look at yours.'' Akyo replied sharply, and she saw the scowl that appeared on the boy's face. Ripping her arm free from his grip, she made a move to pass him, but he grabbed her again, and this time he grabbed a lot lower than any boy had ever been allowed to.
Her temper flared, her eyes narrowing in dangerous slits. This boy was sailing dangerous waters right now. Turning around sharply she slapped him across the face, a mutual gasp beeing released from all the bystanders who gathered to watch the commotion.
Draven's face turned into an angry scowl, as he moved in to land a punch. Despite the situation, Akyo smirked to herself. It had been a while since she had any hand to hand combat, might as well try that now.
~(o-o)~
Zed fumbled trough his locker, looking for his books for the next period. Even if it was lunch time, he wanted to get his things now, since next they had astrology class with their homeroom teacher, and the faster he got to the class, the better. Once he finally gathered his belongings, he closed his locker and moved towards the main interior yard.
The first thing that caught his eye was a small gathering of students somewhere in the middle of the yard. They were just standing by, and he could clearly see what was actually going on. He saw the most annoying kid in the entire school, Draven together with his brother Darius. There was somebody else there, but he could not quite make out it's figure.
His eyes widened slightly when he caught sight of a familiar outfit, and very, very angry icy irises. He snorted when the new girl - that he helped find Kolmynie's office, that seemed so nice, almost too nice, and almost fell backwards because Kennen was running like a tornado trough the corridors again - slapped Draven shamelessly across the face.
He saw the idiot move in to hit her, and he took one step forward, altho he didn't actually knew why. Maybe it was because she seemed too nice to get herself in troubles with those two idiots, maybe it was just an impulse, but she didn't needed his help.
She raised her hands in front of her in a defensive stance and dodged Draven's fist with ease. Instead, as he moved past her, she raised her leg and kicked him hard in his own, making Draven fall to the ground with a cry of pain.
''What the hell?!'' he heard him yell, as he tried to stand but failed, and fell to the ground once more grabbing his injuried limb. Darius simply spectated from a slight distance how his brother was getting his ass kicked by a girl shorter than him.
She let her arms down and looked at Draven. The latter glared up at her while he was still grabbing his leg. She turned towards her fallen backpack to pick it up and leave, but Draven was having none of it. He suddenly raised to his feet and runned after her, fist ready in the air.
Zed was sure that this one she couldn't dodge as easily as the other, but she proven him wrong once more. He couldn't help the surprise off his face when he saw everything transpire. Draven was running after her, but just as his fist was about to connect with her head she suddenly sidestepped and dodged it. In the same instant, she turned around and grabbed Draven by the back of his shirt, while she put one of her legs in front of his own. Pushing on his back, and moving his legs from below his body, the girl easily spinned Draven midair, without as much as breaking a sweat.
Everything happened extremely fast, but after the dust settled one thing was sure. Draven laid on his abdomen, a groan of extreme pain leaving his mouth. Darius sighed and went to check on his brother, while the new girl shook invisible dust off her hands and skirt. She went after her backpack and picked it up and left, not even paying attention to the all shocked faces she left behind.
Zed's shocked expression slowly melted into one of intriguedness. As he watched the girl take her leave, he couldn't help the quirck of his eyebrow and the slight smirk on his face. Maybe she wasn't such a fragile, little flower after all. She was sure to be entertaining, since there weren't many in the highschool that could fight and react like that.
Glancing at one of the clocks nearby, he decided that there was plenty of time for lunch, so his next destination was the cafeteria. While his feet moved him towards it, his mind was mostly occupied by the image of the new girl. How short and fragile she looked, and just how much warmth those simple smiles of her radiated. And then, he thought just how simply she fought off Draven, with such swiftness and grace. He knew only one other girl with skills like this, they had been friends since they were kids, so if the two girls actually knew eachother, he should've atleast heard about her. But she was a total stranger, he was betting it on his lunch money.
He concluded that it wasn't harmful to question his friend about this. After all, it might intrigue her as well, and not only her, but his brother none the less.
When he woke up from his thoughts, he found himself in front of the cafeteria. It was filled with students, and he was particulary looking for a familiar white head. His eyes landed on a boy his age, with short messy white hair and deep crimson eyes just like his. His outfit consisted of the same pieces Zed had, only his shirt was white with bluish accents and his pants a much more light color of blue. Currently, his eyes were focused on a book, his tray with food not far from his reach.
Casually making his way towards the boy, he plopped next to him, and saw how he didn't even bothered to look at him. While for many that would seem rude, he knew his brother was very aware of his presence, only he was actually waiting for Zed to state his thoughts.
Zed looked around the cafeteria for somebody, and when his eyes failed to find her, he turned to his brother.
''Akali is usually here when I arrive. Any idea where she might be?'' he questioned and saw how his brother paused in his reading, actually raising his eyes from the book and narrowing them slightly.
''I did saw her leave the class, but I've been here during most of the period, and didn't caught sight of her.'' the boy explained, and Zed narrowed his own eyes. As if on cue, he heard a squeaky loud voice he was very familiar with from his right. Turning his head, he saw the tall silhouette of a black haired girl looking down at a boy half her height. She had emerald green eyes, with a simple shirt to match. She had simple, blue denims and white sneakers. Her hair was caught in a pony tail, one bang falling gracefully on the left side of her face, with a small strand of hair on the other side. She was looking amusedly at the boy half her height, with creamy like, short hair and blue eyes. He had a dark purple hoodie and knee short blue pants with purple sneakers. He seemed extremely excited by something, which only raised the girl's amusement.
''Hey guys.'' the girl greeted, smilling at each one of the two. She seated herself opposite of the white haired boy, while the shorter one sat himself opposite of Zed.
''What took you so long? You're not one to be late, Akali.'' Zed questioned teasingly, the girl smilling in response.
''I was on my usual way here when Kennen and I met. He was very adamant about something, but he refused to tell me what about until we reached the two of you.'' she explained, as she eyed the shorter boy. His smile grew in response.
''I guess you've heard about the new girl already.'' he began, and the white haired boy actually seemed surprised.
''A new student?'' he inquired and Kennen nodded fastly.
''Yup. She's a beast, you should've seen her Shen!'' Kennen began, his voice filled with excitement. ''I wasn't actually there when it happened but Teemo was. He told me she spinned Draven mid air and she didn't even seemed fazed about it, considering she's a shortie.'' he explained and Zed smirked.
''I saw that one. Draven really wanted a beating.'' Zed noted, and three pairs of eyes turned on him. Kennen looked shocked.
''You saw her?!'' his voice reached dangerous heights and Zed nodded, abeit he cringed slightly. ''I heard she's hella cute too! Is it true?'' Kennen questioned fastly, and Zed arched an eyebrow.
''Does it actually matter? She seems like a chill girl. I caught her from falling after she avoided you when you were running like a maniac trough the corridors again.'' Zed told Kennen and the boy's face filled with disbelief.
''I almost bumped into her today?'' he mumbled to himself, looking extremely worried about it. Zed chuckled silently, observing amusedly the younger boy's behaviour. It seemed he already developed a passion for somebody he had yet to meet.
''I was actually going to ask you tho,'' Zed began, turning towards Akali. ''she is very skilled in hand to hand combat. Swift, precise, fast and gracefull. Her fighting style kinda reminded me of yours.'' he began, and the girl's face turned into confusion.
''Well... I don't know. From what I've heard from Irelia and the others, she does not seem familiar in appearance. Have you managed to catch her name?'' she asked and Zed looked thoughtful for a second.
After that he sighed. ''No. I left immediately after I showed her where the principal's office is.'' he explained before Shen, who stayed mostly quiet during the conversation, made a notice it caught eveybody's eyes.
''Well that's a new face. Is that the girl Zed?'' he asked while pointing with his head towards that direction. Truthfully, it was her as she kept her eyes trained on a piece of paper while smartly dodging people coming her way, before she diappeared into a mass of students once more.
''Yep, that's her.'' he finally said, while he observed everybody's faces. Shen looked unimpressed as always, altho he looked thoughtfull, and Akali was the same with small confused features here and there. Kennen was still and his eyes were wide with a slightly opened mouth. He seemed as if he had seen God on earth, and it only made Zed's amusement go higher. He then remembered he had some books to borrow from the library, the chemistry extremely hard on his head. He swiftly raised from the table and gathered his belongings before turning on his heels and leaving.
''Where are you going?'' Akali questioned, altho her attention was on the still gaping Kennen. Zed chuckled.
''To the library. I need to get some books for chemistry, or else Mr Singed ain't gonna pass me this semester. See ya.'' he said, before ruffling Kennen's hair slightly and leaving for good.
~(o-o)~
Akyo kept her eyes trained on the paper before her. She raised them from time to time to make sure she wasn't bumping into anybody, before they returned to it once more. She was almost out of the cafeteria when literally a wall made out of three girls stepped in front of her.
The one that standed out the most was blonde, and her clothing was slightly revealing. Her hair was curled and in bounced on her shoulders lightly. She had big deep blue eyes with very petite and feminine features, altho her face seemed one of disgust. She glared down at Akyo, who stood shorter than her with a few centimeters.
''So you're the new girl huh?'' she spoke, her voice very feminine, altho it held a lot of pride. Akyo merely glanced at her and blinked a few times before answering.
''Yes...'' she trailed off and saw the other girl scoff before she started walking around Akyo. She inspected everything from her clothes to her hair while looking unimpressed all the time.
''I still don't see how a weakling like you could pull off such a trick. And not to mention the weak taste in fashion.'' she said as she slapped Akyo's skirt. The latter had her eyes narrowed in dangerous slits again, her hands painfully grasping the shoulder strap to keep herself from demonstrating it to this girl. ''But let me set this straight.'' she said simply while she approached Akyo and looked at her in the eyes. ''I don't like having my friends tossed around, so you better keep those hands at home next time.'' she explained, as she made a move to pass Akyo, her two friends in toll.
''Or what? You're going to tell me I dress like a grandma for the rest of my time here?'' Akyo questioned sarcastically and loud, before moving out of the cafeteria swiftly. This type of kids she detested the most in schools, and she really didn't wanted to break that girl's bones from day one.
It wasn't long before she reached her desired destination, the library. Opening it's doors, she saw just how big it was, with shelves lined with books almost everywhere, tables with chairs for students also present. The main desk seemed empty, and she made a move towards the room to look for the librarian.
''May I help you?'' a deep cool voice came from behind and she turned around and craned her neck up. She knew she was short, but this person was ridiculously tall. He had icy blue eyes just like hers, but his eyes were completely that color. Short dark hair was on his head, a pair of glasses on his nose. His features were calm and unaffected, and for some strange reason Akyo felt like she was looking at a dog.
''Uhm, yes.'' she began, slightly intimidated by the librarian's height. She stretched him the piece of paper, as he picked it up and looked at it. He returned his attention towards Akyo, as she gulped slightly uneasy.
''The books you'll need for today are there.'' he pointed towards a few shelves in the library. ''Once you have all of them, pass trough here and let me know. You can return at the end of the day for the rest of them.'' he said simply, his tone just a deep and cool. Akyo nodded, turning around and walking towards the direction the librarian pointed her.
She found herself surrounded by books of various sizes, colors and ages. She looked on her schedule and started picking up books for the subjects she had for the rest of the day. The last book she had to pick was for the third period, chemistry. Looking around the shelves, her eyes landed upon the desired book as she started walking towards it.
When she reached up to it, she realised with a frustated face that the shelf was too high for her to reach. She even tried jumping a few times in order to get to it without any progress.
''Are you for real?'' she almost growled, as she tried jumping once more. There was another hand that grabbed the book she wanted, as her eyes followed it. She observed the respective person handed the book to her, while she could hear chuckles coming from it.
Picking up the book, she looked at the stranger and gasped silently. The boy that helped her find the principal's office today was looking at her with the most amused expression on his face.
''Thanks.'' she said as she ripped the book from the boy's outstretched hand and tucked it in her backpack. Her face was in a frown, altho she felt embarassed. He must've seen her lame attempts on getting the book, and that was why he was so amused right now. She heard him sigh amusedly.
''You know this is your own fault.'' he noted with the same amused tone in his voice. Akyo pouted.
''Well thanks for coming to my rescue, oh you brave knight.'' she said sarcastically, altho there was a smirk on her face. He returned it.
''Why thank you.'' he said simply and she rolled her eyes, before throwing her backpack on her shoulder. ''I'm Zed by the way.''
''Akyo.'' she said while smilling at him. ''Nice to actually meet you.''
''So, what did Draven do to deserve a smooching session with the ground?'' he questioned and saw the girl giggle. He couldn't deny Kennen's statement. She was kind of cute. Kind of.
''He failed picking up the hint that I had better things to do than waste my time on him.'' she explained, her eyes shinning slightly. ''Altho, I did show him some mercy. For example, I could've broken his leg, but I didn't.'' she said proudly, while Zed arched an eyebrow.
''Wow, very considerate of you.'' he remarked and she dead panned at him. She opened her mouth to throw him a retort, but there was the sound of a bell ringing in the distance.
Zed cursed under his breath and turned around. As much as he would've liked to continue their chit chat he had to go now.
''Well, next time you need to get some books you know who to call.'' he throwed her a smirk before turning around and leaving. She scoffed amusedly at his last reply, as she made her way towards the main desk. She showed all the books to the librarian as he nodded at her, before she exited the library and went for her first class.
~(o-o)~
Zed entered the class, and saw that the majority of students had already gathered up. He observed the unocuppied double bench that represented his seat and started walking towards it. On the desk, he found a neatly folded piece of paper as he eyed it curiously before he set his books on the desk and picked it up. Positioning himself on the chair he opened the piece of paper and observed the shapely drawn heart together with some very cursive text he didn't even bothered to read.
Turning his head around, his crimson eyes met deep blue ones, framed by blonde curls. The girl winked and waved at him, throwing him a seductive smile, before he turned around and crinkled his nose in disgust. Swiftly turning the paper into a miniature ball, he threw it in his desk and waited for Mrs Starcall to arrive.
It wasn't long before she did, her long white hair caught with multiple elastic bands flowing gently behind her. Her amber eyes were framed by glasses, as she went for the teacher's desk and sat her belongings.
''Very well children. Please sit down, I have a few annoucements to make.'' she said, her tone warm and kind, as everybody listened to her. Raising from her seat she walked in front of the class and looked at the kids.
''As you may very well know already, the usual prom of Fall is approaching.'' she began, and there were some excited sounds coming from the students. ''which means that for the follwoing month you'll have to be angels in order to partake. There are preparations beeing done right now as we speak and I do wish for everybody present to take part.'' she finished as she looked thoughtfull for a moment before continuing. ''If you haven't already heard, there is a new student that had transfered here.'' as if on cue, there was a knock on the door.
''Come in.'' Mrs Starcall said, as all eyes turned towards the door. It slowly opened and it revealed nobody else than Akyo looking curiously trough the class and then at the smilling teacher. ''Children, this is Akyo Miyazaki, and she will be your coleague for the following years.'' Mrs Starcall finished, and there were some gasps and whispers from around the room.
Her slightly fearful eyes looked around the room until she met Zed's. He really felt happy and excited to have her in his classroom, and he could tell she felt the same way. Mrs Starcall told her to take a seat and she turned directly towards the unused seat next to Zed. Sitting herself down and taking her backpack off, she looked at Zed and smiled brightly at him, a slight quirck of the corner of his lips as his response.
She took out her books and payed attention to what the teacher was saying, but in the same time she felt distracted by the fact she and Zed were sharing the same classes. She was so distracted that she didn't felt the pair of angered blue eyes boring holes into her skull.
AN: TADAAA. What'ya think :D? I for one think that this has a tons of potential, mainly because here I can make them fall for one another a lot more easily and a lot more possibly than it had been in my other two stories. If you guys like it, I'll wirte another chapter. Honestly this is the longest I've wirtten so far XD. I dunno if it's going to be this long, but I really have shaped where this story is going, and Zayenn isn't the bad guy anymore! Yay~. As I said above, I am asking for you guys to GIMMIE requests XD. Honestly, just let your mind wonder and tell me what you would like to see take action. I would love to make you guys smile :D. By the way, the blonde chick ain't a champion in the League. She's just... Random.
Alright, I'm going back to finishing TiLiD, I'm uploading TONIGHT. The chapter in my opinion is kinda meh~, but right now I'm in a dead point in the plot, and I'm preparing a much larger arc following the ''SnowDown'' one. Hell yeah, random misteltoes and Lady Christmas costumes on their way. It's time for some fanservice for both you Akyo fanboys and Zed.
LET'S REPLY TO SOME REVIEWS :3

The point was for you guys to like it and enter fangirl/boy mode and squeal so hard XD. This will happen in TiLiD, be sure. The question remains to be when XD. Idk about that Irelia nerf tho. Morello knows better x3.
At that time Zed was like go with the flow. He knew Akyo is introvert and awkward with her own emotions and really loves her personal space. Use those three and whad'ja get? A Scarlet ( Johanson XD ) Akyo.
