Welcome to another chapter of my Voltron high school AU! To anyone who reads it, I really do hope you like it. Maybe give me some suggestions?

Lance

The first day of school was going okay, I guess. I mean, it's school, so it's not ever going to be fun. But, at least I had some classes with my friends.

Allura was in my math class, Keith and Hunk have gym with me, and there are some other classes I had with my friends. The last class I had in the day was drama, which was an elective I had chosen, although I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because I was always a little interested in musicals. I mean, I have a pretty good singing voice. I'm not sure why Pidge decided to take it though. Allura was also there.

When the end of the day came rolling around, I took a seat next to Pidge. The teacher turned out to be... Coran?! Allura's uncle?

"Hello class, my name is Mr. Wimbleton and I'm your teacher!" He announced cheerfully. Wait, what? Really? Since when did he work here? What was going on?! "I'm glad to have you all with me!" He said.

All right, I wasn't expecting this, but I can roll with it. Coran was a pretty fun guy.

"So this year, we will be doing a musical this year so you don't have to worry about that at all," he informed us. Allura raised her hand.

"What musical are we going to be doing?" She asked.

"Beauty And The Beast!" He replied. "Auditions will be in a few weeks. For now, we'll be relearning the basics. For some of you, this all might be new."

All right, I love Beauty And The Beast! It was one of my favorite Disney movies, second to The Little Mermaid. I started to think about who I might audition for. There was the Beast, Gaston, Lumiere, and others.

I glanced towards Allura, who seemed to be thinking. Then I looked over to Pidge, who's expression I couldn't really read that much.

The rest of class was just Coran explaining stuff, showing us around, and telling us a little more about the musical. I was getting pretty excited for it. I wished the auditions would be sooner.

When the bell rang, I grabbed my bag from the floor and slung it over my shoulder and walked alongside Pidge. Allura decided to stay behind and help Coran a bit.

"So," I began. "I never really took you for the theater type."

She shrugged. "Well, I guess joined because I wanted to try doing the behind the scenes stuff. Like lights, music, that kind of thing. But I may have also selected the wrong class."

I nodded. "Ay, I get it. You are the science-electronic type of girl," I told her. She was looking down at the ground, so I couldn't see her face.

"Uh, thanks I guess," she mumbled. A few moments of silence passed. "So... you still pining after Allura?" She asked awkwardly, trying to break the silence.

I thought for a few moments. "I'm not really sure. I think I still like her, but she doesn't really return those feelings. But I can't just turn off the way I feel about someone," I sighed.

I heard her mutter something.

"What'd you say?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Nothing important."

"All right then," I said unsurely. Then a small thought crept into my mind, tugging at the corners of my mouth to turn it into a smile. "So Pidgey, who's your crush?"

Her face turned as red as a tomato. "W-Well, he's funny, cute, kind, thoughtful, and he's pretty smart at reading most people's emotions. But... he doesn't like me back, so it doesn't matter." She sighed.

"Well, he'd be pretty lucky to have someone like you," I said, trying to cheer her up.

"You really think that?" She asked, glancing up at me.

"Yeah, I really do."

Pidge

I had to double check my schedule before my last class and I was shocked. What? Drama? That's not what I signed up for! My electives were supposed to be robotics and computer science, not robotics and drama!

Maybe I could get it changed. But, now that I know Lance and Allura are in it too, it could be nice. And Coran was the teacher! This class might be fun. Plus, I could try some of the backstage stuff. Yeah, things were definitely starting to look good.

Until I started to walk alongside Lance.

"-I can't just turn off the way I feel about someone," he finished his small rant.

"Trust me, I know the feeling," I muttered, keeping my eyes glued to my feet and focusing to put one in front of the other.

"What'd you say?" He asked me.

Oh my god, did I accidentally say that out loud? Dang it!

"Nothing important," I quickly responded, hoping he wouldn't get suspicious at all. I should just stop worrying about it!

"All right then," he replied. Was that... concern I detected in his tone? No, it couldn't be. Then he asked a question I was absolutely not expecting. "So Pidgey, who's your crush?" He asked.

If I had water in my mouth I would've definitely spat it out right then and there. I could feel my face heat up and I cleared my throat. "W-Well, he's funny, cute, kind, thoughtful, and he's pretty smart at reading most people's emotions. But... he doesn't like me back, so it doesn't matter." I finished my statement and hoped he would pick up on it, just a little bit.

"Well, he'd be lucky to have someone like you," Lance responded cheerfully. Nope, he was still totally oblivious. Dang it.

"You really think that?" I question, looking over at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, I really do."

Then, I lost him in the sea of kids. I felt like we were in a storm at sea and had just been separated, and I was drowning. Being the short kid, it was pretty easy to get swept away. So yeah, that kind of sucked. But it was something I'd been dealing with ever since I had arrived at Altea High.

I got shoved hard in the shoulder and luckily, I didn't have a book in my hand at all. I felt someone step on my heel and then force their way past me, muttering a quiet "sorry" as if it could be accepted as an apology. Rude.

Finally, I reached the door, which was my ticket out of school. The doors burst open and the kids flooded out. We had survived the first day and reached freedom! Yes, victory is sweet! I ran over to my bus and sat down in a seat towards the front. Soon, Hunk came and sat next to me.

"How was your culinary arts class?" I asked him.

"It was pretty great. We got new, bigger, cooler ovens so we can fit more food in them, so that's pretty cool," he said. "How was computer science?"

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Well, apparently my schedule got messed up somehow and now I'm in drama with Lance and Allura. Coran's our teacher."

Shock spread itself across Hunk's face. "Whoa, when did he get a job here?"

I shrugged my shoulders, thinking of all the ways he could've gotten a job here at our school, of all places. "I have no idea, really. Do we really want to know?"

He shook his head. "Eh, probably not. You know how Coran's stories are." I nodded. Most of my friends had listened to Coran's crazy stories for an hour. "Well, at least your survived your first day, right?" Hunk asked me nervously.

"Yup," I nodded. "Now we only have 179 more to go."

This should be a piece of cake, right?

Now that I really think about it, no. No it will not. Considering what school I go to and who our biggest rival is, this year may be a little rough. Except for the actual academic stuff. I already knew that I would fly past that.

I'm going to try and write some parts of the story from Hunk's POV, so be on the lookout for that. It'll probably be mostly Pidge, Lance, Lotor, and Allura. Speaking of Allura, her POV is next! Don't forget to review, favorite, and share. I'll catch you all on the flip side.
