Ok, I got a couple of reviews. That's great guys, thanks a bunch. I'd like to thank you there laila, for your review. You didn't leave an e-mail for me to contact you at, but oh well, thanks just the same.

I've lived high school life, and it's SO full of dramaaaaa. I hung out with the queen of drama, so I'm use to it. XP
Anyway, this one was a little long, but I liked the progression. I mean, I didn't even get past lunch in this one. I like it when it takes longer, not too much longer, to build characters. Honestly, I was going to skip to the end of the day and have them tell their parents how it all went. But that seemed a little too lazy, even for me. So here it is, Ed and Al's first half a day at school.

Here is chapter two, I hope you guys enjoy. (Don't forget, any review will do. ;D)

Chapter 2 - Scarred

There was a knock on the door. Mrs. Curtis looked away form the note she was writing on the board. "Perfect timing." Finished off the last word in her sentence and dotting the end with a period, she placing the chalk down on the edge of the board. Turning to the class, she spoke. "Now, make sure to be on your best behavior, and treat the new students with respect." Knowing that teens their age tended to mimic the behavior of vultures at times, she gave them fair warning as she approached the door.

Opening it, it revealed two young boys, both looking to be around the age of sixteen. The one in the front had short sandy blond hair and a strong build and the one behind him had longer hair, tied back in a pony tail and was reletivly slender. "I take it you're my new students, come in." She opened the door fully, allowing the two boys to now be visible to the entire class. "I'd like you to meet Edward and Alphonse Hohenheime, they're twins. Quite intresting, yes?" She led them to the front of the class.

Clause nearly jumped straight up from her seat as soon as she laid eyes on the two new students. "Winry." She poked her. "Look!" She said in a whispered hush.

Winry was quite non-chalantly still copying down the note off the board. "What?" She looked up to see none other than the two new people in the class. "That's great." She continued copying off the board.

"Good to see you're not intrested." She said in a quiet tone. "More for me." She smiled as she rubbed her hands together.

The teacher caught a glimps of Clause talking. "Show some respect Clause, pay attention." With that she resumed welcoming Ed and Al. "Would you two care to introduce youreslves?"

Ed inwardly panicked while Al smiled wide.

"That could have went better." Ed sulked as he sipped his chocolate milk. "If you ever need to know anything about awkward social graces, be sure to come to me first. I'm a savant."

Al sighed. "I can't help it that I'm good with people. Maybe if you didn't make people feel stupid with all those big words you use." He raised a very good point. Edward at times did talk over people, using words that normally weren't in the day to day vocabulary of the average teenager.

Ed thought for a second. "'Anything'? 'Awkward?' Those aren't big words Al."

He shook his head. "No, that last word you used."

Thinking one more time. "Savant? That's not a big word either."

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Just dumb it down a little next time." He drank a mouthful of Pepsi and replaced the cap. "Oh, and dont' mention Magic."

"I didn't." He sighed. "I know not to dig my own grave."

"See!" Al pointed at him. "You did it again. Don't say things like 'I know not to dig my own grave' try something like 'I'm not a dumbass.'" Al snickered. "Dumbass."

Ed sighed. "I can't help it, it's the way I speak."

Al gritted his teeth. "I said stop it!"

"I didn't do anything that time!" Ed snapped at him.

"Alphonse." Clause greeted him from behind, breaking the argument they were on the verge of letting get out of control, she had Winry standing next to her. "I was wondering if you'd like to eat lunch with me." She twirled her foot on the floor back and forth.

Al hesitated until he set eyes on Winry. She was tall, and had a nice curvy figure and beautiful long blond hair accented by bright green eyes. Ed glanced up to her as well, but was unintrested and went back to eating. Al made eye contact with his brother and gave a look of despiration.

Ed sighed. "I dont' care what you do."

He nodded. "Alright." He said with uncertain tone. Picking up his tray, he left Ed to sit by himself. Following the girls, he looked over his shoulder and heaved a sigh. He flet bad for Ed, he never really did end up as popular with people as he did. He was going to try and help him out later on, but right then, all he was concened about was eating lunch with this beautiful fair haired girl and, he supposed, the girl who asked him as well.

Giving a shake of his head, Ed groaned in frustration. It was back to square one for him, being somewhat of a social outcast was, for some crule reason, written in his genes but, for a even cruler reason, not in his brother's. Ed had friends before he moved, but only a few.

Edward thought that high school was going to breeze by, but apparently, it was looking to be just the same as middle school. Finishing off the rest of his chocolate milk, he got up to leave, only to notice a series of a few papers stapled together laying on the floor.

After close examination, he came to the conclusion that it was a bio lab, he then realized that it wasn't just any bio lab though, it belonged to that blond girl, Winry, from his homeroom class. Taking it, he stuffed it in his binder and opted to give it to the teacher to return to Winry, saving himself the awkwardness of trying to talk to her.

Having not had a girlfriend before, or even any friends that were girls, he was no good at talking to them. Satisfied all was well, he dumped his tray off and placed it back at the beginning of the line for someone else to use and exited out the nearby doors. He walked into the hall way and walked toward the back of the building, he wanted to get a good look at the park out back of the school. Al told him that the sports feilds for the school were enormous. He walked by a couple of kids his age who seemed to be arguing.

"You're insane! Greedo shot first, it's was as plain as day. Han ducked out of the way and then shot him. It was self-defense." The tall boy, who was standing, folded his arms in triumph.

"No he didn't!" The other boy shook his head. "It must have taken place in the split second that I blinked, because I never seen that scene. And I've watched all the movies about five times over."

"Greedo shot first, trust me." He stated without fazing what so ever.

Ed couldn't help but be bothered. He intervined. "Actually, you're both right. Though, originally, Han shot first. The scene you're talking about is the new special edition where they added in a scene of Greedo shooting first. They just did it to make Han come off as less of an ass than he was in the original release where he did, in fact, shoot first."

The two boys exchanged glances and then the one who was standing, smiled. "I didn't think the new kid would be a Star Wars buff like us." He smiled. "Edward, right? Good to meet you, name's Leo, that's Russle."

He waved. "Hey."

Ed waved in return. "Hey." Finally, someone he could connect with. He may have been considered a geek to everyone else, but at least there was a few people who could accept him, regardless of the geek title or not. "I've been a big fan of the series for a few years now. Magic is actually how I got introduced to Star Wars in the first place. Either of you into Magic?" He raised his hopes.

Russle nodded. "I was the champ for the last two years at middle school. And from the sounds of it, I get to defend my title again this year."

"I just started playing last year, I'm still not that good." Leo smirked.

Magic: The Gathering was a very popular game amongst his old friends, he was relieved he managed to stumble across at least one person who enjoyed it, otherwise he was subjected to giving it up. "It takes some getting use to."

Russel reached into his bookback hanging at his knees and emerged with a small box of cards. "Do you have your deck here?"

Ed smirked. "Of course."

"So, you're joining the basketball team?" Clause rested her cheek on her fist. "I guess well be cheering you on then." She couldn't help but smile.

Al leaned back in his chair and glanced at Winry who was sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Are you on the cheerleading team or something?"

Clause nodded. "Yeah, we all are. Winry here is our captain. We're praticing after school today if you want to watch. Hey, maybe the coach'll let you help us stretch." The rest of the girls giggled at the thought.

Al couldn't help but blush a little at that line. "Hopefully." He smiled, once agian, he turned his attention to Winry who was staring off at the exit near the beginning of the lunch line.

"I can't wait to see your first game. What position did you play at your old school?" She made small talk to keep him intrested and the conversation going. Clause didn't even want to realize that Al's eyes were only for Winry.

"I was offense." He smiled warmly as Winry turned her attention towards him. "Never lost a game."

Aside from the inital awkwardness, Ed finally managed to settle in. Russel and Leo were quite inviting and not judgmental in the slightest. "Ha!" Ed exclaimed. "Mana burn." Leo hung his head. "Don't look into it too much, it takes a while to get good."

Al approached his brother from behind. "What are you doing?" He said in disbelief, he couldn't believe that he had actually brought the cards to school. He and the others had left the lunch room in favor of roaming.

Ed glanced toward his bother. "...Knitting. What's it look like." He said in a sarcastic tone.

With a smirk, "It looks like you'll die a virgin." Al retorted.

"At least I'll have good problem solving skills and a sharp mind, what do you have going for you? Rember, the mind last a whole lot longer than the body. Right, crippy boy." Ed scoffed.

"Whatever. Our next classes are seperate, so I figured I'd tell you I'm going to help the cheerleaders stretch at their pratice." Al slung his bookbag over his shoulder. "So you can walk home alone, ok?"

"Sure, sure, got you." Ed flagged him on and quickly turned back to his hand of cards. Al walked off. "Come on Leo, you have to have something in your hand."

He flipped through the cards. "This isn't a hand, it's a finger."

"So why is your brother such a knob? And why aren't you?" Russel asked without remorse while standing behind Leo.

Ed couldn't help but laugh. It was true, he and Al were from two different sides of two different spectrums. "Circumstance I guess." He folded his hand and held it down. "When we were little, we had a treehouse. There was one occasion after a storm where it fell over and I was in it at the time. I hit my head pretty hard and 'effed up my vision. I actually use to be in baseball with Al when we were kids, but after the incident, I needed glasses. It was too tough playing sports with them, so I just gave up. Al kept going, so it's no wonder he's the way he is and I am the way I am."

Leo nodded. "Makes sence...so, do you still need glasses?"

Ed nodded. "Yeah, but I have contacts."

"So why is your borther such a dork? And how come you aren't?" Clause asked in a snotty tone.

Al rubbed the back of his head, he wasn't all too sure wheather or not Ed wanted him to tell anyone how things came to be, so he opted for a half truth. "Well, he ended up needing glasses, so he quit sports, and I didn't."

"Oh, that's lame. At least you turned out alright." She patted his left shoulder.

"Yeah." He said, rather distant.

The long black haired girl glanced at Al seductivly, without his knowing. He had a really nice body for a boy his age, and far be it for her not to admire it. Which is when she noticed it, a scar, going along the side of his arm. It extended from halfway across the side of his hand to about six inches along the side of his forearm. "What's that?" She took hold of his left hand and pulled it into plain sight.

"That?" Al turned his arm to see just what she was looking at, as if he didn't already know. "Oh, that. That's just a scar that I got from Ed. Not important." He removed his hand from her grasp and lowered it down to his side.

Clause was shocked. She never thought that Ed would have done something like that to his own brother, he must have really been dangerous. Making a note not to get on Ed's bad side, she kept walking alongside Al, toward the back of the school. The girls were showing him around for the remainder of lunch.

"That looks pretty hard core. Where'd you get that?" Russel asked, refrencing Ed's right arm.

He lifted it up and looked at the scar that was the spitting image of Al's scar. "Oh, this, Al gave that to me along time ago. He was always fond of invading people's personal space a bit much for anyone's good." He gathered up his cards, in triumph, and placed them back in the deck holding box.

"Al gave that to you? ...geez...shitty." Leo added in.

Russel piped up again. "Why did he do that?"

Ed shrugged as he picked his things up, bookbag and jacket. "Meh, not important."

"Why do you think he would do that?" Clause spoke to a few of the other girls while Al was turned away and doing something else.

"Maybe they hate eachother." One of the girls suggested.

"Maybe, Ed's like, the evil tiwn." Another added.

She folded her arms and glanced over at Al, he was trying to strike up a conversation with Winry, but she didn't seem to be buying it. Clause knew it right then and there, he was getting a crush on Winry, and she was determined not to let it happen. "We'll have to confront Ed about it then. See just what the hell his problem is, and make sure he stays with the freaks, away from all us." Helping Al solve the problem of his psychodic brother was going to, in her mind, help her win him over. "Ok?"

The other girls nodded.

I'd like to confess something right here. I do NOT like either Star Wars or Magic: The Gathering. I have however married a geek who. indeed, loves them both.

And I assure you, I say geek with total endearment. For I too, am a geek. I mean, I have an image map on my home page which I bragged to my friends about. Check it out. It's shitty, but I got all the links to work, which makes me happy int he face! XD

Anyway, drop me a line, tell me what you think. Oh...and it's late, I'm not doing the spell check thing. Sorry. DX
