Thank you for the reviews guys! It means a lot to me that you took out the time to read and review my first ever project. Talk about not being able to start small huh? I will try and keep a good speed on updating as I hand-write my chapters out first before typing them up. To my reviewers, if I can support you in any of your fanfics please shoot me a PM.

Episode 1: Just Another Day

"KAMIYA!" Sam Ichijouji's irritated voice cut through the silent air. "Would you stop being your annoying self and give me back my geography book?!"

"No way!" Takao Kamiya's voice called back. "Matty and I need it!"

"Do your own homework!" Sam snapped in response before reaching over and grabbing Takao's wrist.

Takao gave off a boyish grin and pried his wrist loose. The son of Tai and Sora Kamiya was a huge trouble-maker and tended to land himself into detention a lot. Either for pranking people or spending too much time playing soccer and not paying attention to his studies. He had bushy brown hair and dark brown eyes. He had inherited his father's old goggles which pushed back his hair.

However, Sam, the son of Ken and Yolei Ichijouji could not be more different in personality to the goggleheaded boy. He was calm, controlled and Takao always managed to find a way to grate his nerves somehow. He had short wavy blue hair and jet black eyes.

"Would you guys stop fighting already?" Mickey Motomiya said softly from his twin brother Matty Motomiya's side. The twin boys of Davis and Kari Motomiya despite being identical twins were nothing alike when it came to personality. Matty was Takao's partner in crime when it came to pranking though he didn't fight with Sam as much due to Mickey keeping the peace between them. Neither of the boys seemed to hear Mickey's soft voice though as their voices escalated in volume.

Mickey and Matty both had wavy brown hair and dark, reddish brown eyes. Mickey's hair was more wavy while Matty tended to spike his hair. Matty's brown eyes went to the anxious expression on his twin's face and despite being the younger twin, he wrapped an arm around his shoulders, squeezing it gently causing Mickey to look at him. Their eyes met for a moment and Mickey smiled gratefully. They were snapped out of their moment by Takao's loud, annoyed voice.

"STOP BEING SUCH A KNOW-IT-ALL ICHIJOUJI!" On a rage driven impulse, Takao punched Sam in the face. The Motomiya twins exchanged worried looks before running forward and each twin grabbing one of the boys. Matty grabbed his cousin and best friend, pulling Takao back before he could launch another punch at Sam. Mickey quickly pulled Sam back, stilling his wrists and standing in front of him so he couldn't even get near the gogglehead.

"Takao, calm down!" Matty cried tightening his grip on the Kamiya boy as he attempted to pry himself loose. Cooling him down sure wasn't proving to be an easy task. He then added "We'll just ask Hinata for help." This did seem to calm him down slightly although he still looked angry.

"Sam, please just relax." Mickey counselled in a gentle voice. His soft tone did manage to have some affect and made Sam's stiff, angry shoulders relax slightly. Before either of the conflicting boys could say anything, another voice spoke up.

"You two fighting again?" An exasperated female voice asked causing all four boys to stop what they were doing and turn towards where the source of the voice was coming from. The voice belonged to none other than one of the most popular girls in the entire school, Hinata Ishida. She was a cheerleader for the school soccer team and also a close friend to the boys. Hinata was the daughter of Matt and Mimi Ishida. She had wavy brown hair that went down to her waist and ocean-blue eyes.

"Hinata…it's Ichijouji's fault, he won't lend Matty and I his geography book." Takao whined to his female best friend. "Friends are supposed to help each other."

Sam scoffed at those words whereas Hinata sighed at her best friend's antics.

"To have a friend, you have to be a friend which you aren't Kamiya." Sam replied, scowling at the gogglehead.

Mickey and Hinata both gaped at Sam in shock. They both knew that Takao's actions tended to irritate Sam more than anyone else but they hadn't expected him to say something that harsh.

"Sam…" Mickey began but the other boy pried the older Motomiya twin off him, reached over, snatching his geography book from Takao before walking off. Takao was fuming causing Hinata to move over and put a hand on his arm.

"Takao, why don't you and Matty come over after school?" Hinata offered kindly. Despite being popular and materialistic, she was still quite nice to all 4 of the boys and her little cousin Emily. She refused to get along with Akemi Izumi and Kita Kido however as they classified as below her reputation.

Takao groaned slightly, annoyed by Sam's attitude and wondering why the other hated him so much. He had never done anything so bad to deserve the attitude given to him by the Ichijouji boy.

"I guess." Takao muttered sounding a little put-off but managed to smile at Hinata, glad at least she was there for him. Mickey smiled at the fact that Matty also looked quite relieved that Hinata was willing to help them out. He turned to his twin.

"Well, I'm going to see what Kita is up to." Mickey informed him while Hinata rolled her eyes in slight annoyance. Matty nodded, knowing despite the fact that Kita wasn't the most polite person, Mickey cared about her and wasn't about to give up on her just because she was hostile towards him.

Kita Kido, the daughter of Joe and Momoe Kido was seated on a lunch table on her own, looking off into space. She had wavy blonde hair that went a bit below her shoulders and light brown eyes. When she felt a tap on her shoulder, she jumped slightly but relaxed when she saw it was only Mickey.

"Hey." Mickey spoke up softly taking a seat besides her. "I hope I didn't interrupt you from anything."

"Don't you care at all about your precious popular reputation?" Kita retorted coldly. She didn't mean to be so rude to someone as kind as Mickey but if she couldn't be attached her own parents then friends were only a temporary glow that would soon fade away.

Mickey shrugged at Kita's cold words.

"I never have before and I won't start now." Mickey told her honestly. Matty had told him many times that Kita didn't deserve his friendship but Mickey was sure that the blonde's cold exterior was simply a mask to protect herself. "Anyway, I was just wondering, would you like to come over after school? Matty and Takao will be at Hinata's house so it'll be just my parents and I."

Kita gaped at Mickey for a moment as he invited her to come over to his place. Although she didn't usually accept an offer like that, she decided it was better than going home where her Mum was usually having one of her parties and her Dad was at his Clinic.

"Sure, better than home anyway." Kita said trying to make it seem like she didn't care. In truth she was glad Mickey had invited her.

Mickey smiled before returning to eating his own lunch and both of them fell silent, lost in their own thoughts.
