Pidge

The sound of my beeping alarm clock woke me up. I realized that my laptop was still in my lap, which meant I had fallen asleep while I was on it again. Mom said that I should stop doing it since school was starting, but I don't see a problem with it. The average human spends 33% of their life asleep.

I rubbed my eyes and looked over to see the time. I nearly jumped out of my skin because the clock read 7:00 A.M. and that meant I was going to be super late. And on the first day!

I scrambled out of my bed and pulled on some clothes, then ran into the kitchen. "Mom, Dad, why didn't you wa-" I paused, realizing there was nobody there. Then, I looked over to the counter top and saw a note.

Dad had to go to work early and I had to run to the store. Matt's also at collage now, don't forget! Have a great first day! ️- Mom

Oh. So it was just me then. Great. I still had to get to school. I had missed the bus, which meant I would have to walk. Let's see, the school was about a mile away and considering my younger age, it would probably take me 17-22 minutes to get there. Well, I could run half of it, but I have Gym first hour, so that might not be the best idea.

Wait, hold the phone, I was getting another idea. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts list until I found Mrs. Garret's name. I called her hoping she would pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hi Mrs. Garret," I greeted.

"Pidge!" She responded. "Shouldn't you be in school?

I gave a nervous laugh. "Yeah, about that, I missed the bus and I need a ride and my parents aren't home."

"Say no more. I'll be there in a few minutes."

Man, was I glad to have Hunk's amazing mom. She was literally one of the nicest people I know and it explains where Hunk got all of his 'Mom Friend' qualities.

About five minutes later, her car pulled into the driveway. I opened the door and sat down. "Thanks, I don't know how I can make this up to you."

"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm just happy to help."

We pulled up to the school and she dropped me off. I thanked her again and headed inside of the building. The bell rang and I saw people shuffling out of classrooms, heading to their lockers or their next class. Hopefully, despite me skipping a few grades, I wouldn't be noticed that much.

I looked around for Lance, Hunk, Keith, Allura, or any of my other friends but I didn't see them. Disappointment filled me. Looks like I might have to tackle the first day on my own. Since people were coming out of classes, it looked like I had missed Gym and the class after that was Science, which was fine with me.

I put some stuff away into my locker, which was green. The other two colors I could've gotten were blue and yellow. I like green and everything, but blue is actually my favorite color, so I wish I had gotten that color instead.

I came into my Science class and took a seat right next to... oh. It was Romelle. I knew her through Allura and we were friends I guess, but there's always been something off about her to me.

"Hey Romelle," I said.

"Oh, hi PIdge." She covered her mouth with her hand as she yawned. "I got absolutely no sleep last night. I was worrying about school. Like, what if some guy breaks in and he has a gun and he says he's gonna take over the whole universe or something?

I chuckled. "That would never happen. I was up on my laptop half of the night."

"Again?"

I nodded. "Yeah..."

"Yeesh."

"Shh! Class is starting," I said. A teacher walked in and... it was my dad?! Since when did he work here? Wait, I remember overhearing him and Mom talking about a new job he got and that I would love it. Well, I guess they were right!

"Whoa, Pidge, isn't that your dad?" Romelle asked in a loud whisper-tone. I nodded.

"Hey class, I'm Mr. Holt, your new Science teacher for the year. Today, we're going to just be introducing ourselves. I want everyone to stand up and tell us your name and then say at least two things about themselves. How about you go first?" He pointed to a boy with black hair and dark gray eyes.

"My name is Sven," he spoke in a thick Norwegian accent. "I just moved here and I like birds." He quickly sat back down in his seat.

Romelle leaned towards me. "So he doesn't know about the rivalry, I'm guessing." I nodded. Romelle had transferred to Altea High last year, which is when she found out about it.

"Probably not."

Some more kids that I knew like Shay, Olia, and Slav introduced themselves. Eventually, it was my turn.

I took a deep breath and then stood up. "Hi, my name is Katie Holt, but my friends and family call me Pidge. I like Monsters and Mana and I like science and video games." I sat back down and Dad winked at me. I smiled at him. I was glad he was my teacher.

Now it was Romelle's turn. "Oh, um, well my name is Romelle Colina. I have one brother and I really love dogs but my mum is allergic, so I can't get one." She sat back down in her seat and smoothed out her skirt. I had never seen that outfit she was wearing, so it must've been new.

Me on the other hand, well, I had been in a rush. I was wearing sweatpants with a blue hoodie on. They had just been lying on the floor, so that was the outfit I went with. It wasn't too terrible. As long as it was comfortable I was fine with it.

We got through the rest of the teens and did an activity about trust or whatever and the class was over.

The rest of the day seemed to drag on forever. That is, until lunch rolled around. I hurried into the cafeteria with my lunchbox and quickly sat down at a table.

I scanned the crowd of people and found a confused Hunk looking around for a place to sit. "Hey, Hunk, over here!" I called out, waving him over. Relief washed over his face and he hurried to my table.

"Pidge!" He exclaimed. "Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I found you! It's the first day of school and I forgot how loud and busy it is and I haven't seen you all day and-"

"Okay, I get it Hunk." I say, holding up a hand.

"Sorry," he says. "So, is anyone you know in your classes?"

I sighed. "So far I just have Romelle, Ina, and Nyma."

"Wow, that's it? No Lance, Allura, or Keith?"

I shake my head.

"That's rough. Maybe you'll have some of us in your next classes," he added.

"Yeah, hopefully," I grumbled.

Out of nowhere, a blue and white lunchbox slammed onto the table right next to me.. I jumped what had to be at least two feet into the air and turned to face Lance.

"Lance!" I shouted. I could feel my face heating up slightly. "Do you have to do that?" I snapped.

He smirked at me. "Chill Pidge, I didn't mean to scare you. Where's Keith?" He asked, looking around.

"In the lunch line," Hunk said, leaning his head to a place where he could see. He pointed to a kid wearing a red jacket and a mullet. Definitely Keith.

Lance seemed amused. "He still buys his lunch?"

"Guess so," I say. "Sucks to be him. The line seems pretty long. And James is just a few people ahead of him."

"That should go well," Hunk comments. "Do you think they still hate each other?"

"Guess we'll find out this year," Lance replies. "I still can't believe this is our last year of high school. Then it's off to college. Where... where are you guys gonna go?

I glance at him. "Me? I'm definitely going to get into Olkari University. I mean, with all my straight A's how could I not?

Hunk raises a hand sheepishly. "I'm going to try out for Balmera University. Where are you going Lance?"

Lance opens his mouth to speak but no words come out. He looks uncertain. "I... I don't know. I wanna try to get into Garrison University, like Shiro. But there are a lot of other colleges out there too."

I put a hand on Lance's shoulder. "I'm sure you'll figure it out," I say. I offer a smile to him. He smiles in return.

"Yeah," Hunk says in between bites of his sandwich. "I'm sure it'll work out."

Lance exhaled and smiled. "Thanks guys."

A few minutes later, Keith finally sat down next to us, followed by Allura.

"Geez, it's about time you guys showed up! What took you so long, Lura'?"

The others and I turned our heads towards Allura. We had seen Keith in the lunch line, but we hadn't seen Allura until now.

She looked around at us and rolled her eyes. "I was helping Romelle with something, all right?"

"With what?" I asked. I straightened the glasses I didn't need, the glasses Matt had given to me.

"She told me not to tell anyone!" Allura protested. I raised an eyebrow.

Oh, well. I'd find out sooner or later. I just had to give it time.
