Chapter 4
First Day – Part 4
Break
It was break, a small amount of time between classes, around 20 minutes, that allowed students to do whatever the small time window allowed them to do. Most spend it catching up on homework, eating a snack, talk with friends and the like.
"Al. Hey, Al!" Ed was close to bounding to his brother.
"Brother," Al said happily.
"Come on, let's go find our lockers." Ed put his hands in his pockets and absently walked down the hallway. His head was slightly tipped as his eyes wandered up, as if he had something unweighted on his mind.
"Okay; yeah, sure." Alphonse nodded as he began to follow his brother.
"I've already made some friends in my classes, brother."
Brought out of his thinking, Ed looked at Alphonse,"Hah, that's great Al. I knew people'd like you," Ed grinned with closed eyes. "Heh, oh yeah, and get this, Al, Winry's in my homeroom."
"What really?"
"Yeah. When I was trying to find someplace to sit, she called my name from the back of the class. Man, everyone started gossiping and everything." Ed ended by closing his eyes, donning a goofy smile, and bringing his hands somewhat up in a halfhearted shrug.
"Sounds like something that'd happen to you. -Alphonse giggled- At least you won't be a total loner when I'm not around."
"And what the hell's that supposed to mean?" Ed irritatedly shot his brother a look.
"Ha ha ha *breath* *sigh*, on never mind brother." Al waved him off.
It wasn't long before the blonds found their lockers; Al's first, and then Ed's not too far away. After testing them out, the two decided to explore just a little more of the campus; as much as the time left would permit them.
