A/N: Good morning everyone, it's currently 7:00 am my time, and I'm up typing and drinking my coffee, aka, it's a good morning, if I'm really on top of stuff then I might even get to close my eyes again for a few minutes until we have to leave, but that's entirely dependent on how fast I type, so let's get started shall we?

Disclaimer: I've booped everyone but you guys, so BOOP!

SereneCrosstamer: Haha, yeah he does, lolol you're awfully suspicious... Thanks for the review!

Classmate Questions

"Why's your hair white?" one of his classmates asked on the way into the classroom and Vergil sighed, he knew the question was coming, it always did, but that didn't make it any less obnoxious.

"My dad's was." He said simply, ignoring the next question that came out of the kid's mouth, whatever the boy had to say he didn't care, he did want to associate with annoying people, that was usually what Dante was good at, keeping the kids away from him, he was an expert at gathering the attention of the entire group and keeping it held for as long as he wanted. But Dante wasn't here this time, Vergil worried his lip, he missed his little brother, he just wanted him back, just wanted the annoyance, the comfort, the companionship that his nestmate provided. He looked at the teacher, still trying to tune out the kid in the background who was still trying to ask him questions.

They finally made it into the classroom and the young half devil sighed in relief when he was pointed to a seat far away from the annoying kid, the boy next to him was small, just like he was, and had mousy brown hair, looking about as average as they come. Vergil looked to his other side, a young girl sat there, her hair pulled back into neat braids on either side of her head and Vergil couldn't help but to think of his and Dante's childhood friend, they looked nothing alike, this girl was blonde haired and blue eyed but she reminded him none the less. The teacher was gathering her things from the desk, seeming completely comfortable giving them a moment to get settled into their seats as they wished. Vergil turned back to the front, he'd already organized all of his things in his desk, filing them neatly so he could find all of them later. The boy next to him stuck out a hand and Vergil blinked, looking at it for a moment before taking it carefully

"Hi," the boy said "my name's Ernest, what's your name?"

"Anthony." Vergil replied smoothly.

"You're new aren't you." The other boy asked after they shook hands, he looked up at Vergil's head, clearly taking note of the unusual color but Vergil didn't make any comment. The other boy didn't ask him about it, and that was a plus to him. The boy seemed to just want to introduce himself.

"Yes, my mom and I just moved here." He had decided that it would be easier to refer to Madeline as his mother, people would ask less questions if he did so, he didn't have to worry about them asking into his real mother, and then he didn't have to think back on that moment…

"Cool, I just moved here last year." The boy said with a toothy grin, he was missing a tooth on one side, which gave him a strange, almost lopsided appearance. Vergil couldn't help but smile back at him, his mood was infectious.

"You'll like Ms. Manson, she's really nice, at least that's what the older kids told me last year." He said gesturing to the teacher, who was writing a few notes on the board, the kind of thing that they needed to know, what subjects they were going to be learning, what homework would be like, etc. Vergil pulled out a notebook and opened it up to a clean page, some of the first ones he had been scribbling out notes in the demonic tongue, which would look like gibberish to most, but it was one of the few ones he knew how to write for himself.

"That's good," Vergil said politely, not quite sure what else to say, thankfully Ernest fell silent as Ms. Manson cleared her throat, ready to start at last.

"Good morning class." She said

"Good morning," the class parroted back to her, and Vergil blinked, that wasn't something he was used to from his old school, maybe it was an island thing…

"Now, I think we have a few new faces to the school," she said looking around the classroom "If you all would be so kind as to stand up and introduce yourselves?" Vergil sighed and was about to stand up when another kid did so, it was the annoying kid from earlier, he realized with mild surprise. The boy introduced himself as Henry and said he came from down south and then a girl whose name the half devil promptly forgot and then he stood up and told the class his name and roughly where he came from, thankful for not needing to go into details about his life, he didn't need to go back into those memories.

"Very good, now since we are all in the fifth grade now, I'm fairly certain that you all know how things usually go, and we're going to get a jump right on into things, first though, you are all going to need a math book, so, I'm going to call you up and you come get one, when you do, put your name inside the front cover and take it back to your seat. This is your book for the entire year, so I expect you to take care of it." She explained and Vergil perked up in his seat, trying to see the books that were sitting on the counter, wanting to see what was inside. All of a sudden he was actually very excited, and very hopeful for the coming school year.

A/N: I always liked the first day of school as a kid, actually I still do, but in college that's cause it just means that everyone hands out syllabi…^^;

Till next time,
