Dove and Piper walked through the senior cafeteria doors, it was packed. Piper drew in a deep breath as she and her new found friend walked past tables filling up with people. Private school was nothing like this, people here were allowed to roam wherever they please for a whole hour; at her old school, that wasn't the case. She was glad she had made a new friend to accompany her otherwise she'd be eating her lunch she had packed in a washroom stall.

"Dove? I'm sorry if I'm being annoying but what if your friends don't like me?" Piper asks in concern.

"Hey, don't worry about it I'm sure they'll love you," Dove says reassuringly looking over to her left, "speaking of which, they're over here," Dove says, motioning for Piper to follow her.

Piper obeyed and was led to a round table filled up with five other people all talking to each other, there was only two empty chairs implying there was just enough space for all of them to sit. Piper and Dove both sat down in the empty chairs. Piper was sitting next to a slightly below average-weight male with fair skin with freckles dotting his cheeks and semi pompadour styled blue hair.

"Oh, hey Dove," a girl said breaking from whatever she had been talking about. She had long fiery orange hair, was a bit on the thicker-framed side, pale, and green eyes.

"Hey," Dove replied, "guys, I want you to meet Piper. Piper, this is Oliver, Macie, Amber, Phillip, and Shakia," she adds, pointing from left to right.

Piper was sitting next to Oliver, and Amber was the one to say hi to Dove. Macie had blueish gray hair in a pixie cut, thin body figure, fair skin and gray eyes. Phillip seemed to be the tallest of the group, it was hard to tell with him sitting down, he had mahogany hair slightly messy with some of it hanging in his face, slightly tanned skin and brown eyes. Shakia was small, skinny and seemed short, had pale skin, shoulder length pale blonde hair loosely tied back in a small low ponytail and light blue eyes; she was the one sitting to Dove's right.

"I know her, she's in our science class second period," Amber says and looks over at Phillip.

"Oh yeah, I knew you looked familliar," Phillip says with a smile.

"Oh really? I didn't really pay attention to any of the people in my classes, people kept staring at me and I was trying to ignore it," Piper admitted.

"That's because you're new here and they're not used to you," Amber replied with a smile, "I'm sure in a couple days they won't care anymore."

"Thanks," Piper said with a smile.

"So," Macie said energetically, "where are you from? Like, what school did you go to? You look kinda familiar."

"Um I went to the private academy on Terra Lexus," Piper says, "it's not too far from here. Actually, my older brother, Byron has been going to this school. You might know him."

"You mean, that guy who's always yelling and flipping tables?" Phillip asked with a raised eyebrow.

Almost as if on queue, Piper heard a low male voice start shouting, she looked behind her and saw her older brother grabbing one of his friends by the shoulders and shouting; she couldn't make out what he was saying, however but he was likely fooling around.

"Yeah, that's my brother," Piper said, playfully rolling her eyes.

"You are a lot quieter than he is," Dove says with a giggle, "you can hear him from a mile away."

"Oh tell me about it, it's not much different at home, the worst of it is when he thinks he can sing," Piper giggled.

"Terra Lexus isn't far from here, is it?" Amber asked, changing the topic.

"Nah, it's like ten minutes from here," Oliver says.

"I forgot they had a prep school," Macie admitted.

"Well, I'm living proof that they still do," Piper chuckled, she looked to her right and saw Finn walking past their table with a male who was a good few inches taller than him, pale skin, and a tousled mop of red hair; all she saw was the backside of him. "Look at that, Finn has friends," she muttered.

Everyone at her table heard her and turned towards the direction to see what she saw.

"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud," Piper says, frantically cupping her hands over her mouth.

"Hey," Macie chuckles, "nobody blames you for saying that, Finn's a moron."

"You're right. I don't like that Aerrow kid either," Phillip says, rolling his eyes.

"Come on, Phillip," Oliver says, "he doesn't seem to be that bad. I don't know the guy so I can't say much about him but he can't be nearly as bad as Finn. He sat by me in my last class."

"Why would he sit by you?" Amber questioned.

"He came in late, I had an empty seat and all the other seats were taken and it seems like he didn't really have friends in that class so he asked if he could sit there, no big deal," Oliver answered.

"How could Aerrow not have friends in his classes? He's really popular and has lots of friends," Dove said, shocked.

The dark skinned girl looked at everyone sitting around her in confusion before speaking, "I'm sorry I don't mean to interrupt, but who's Aerrow?"

"That was the guy with the red hair who's with Finn," Dove says, pointing towards where Finn was at now. He and his redhead friend were now sitting at a table with what is assumed to be their other friends. They appeared to be in an elite friend group stating there was a large group of people laughing and talking. Piper has a full frontal view of the redhead now, he was attractive with his emerald green eyes. She watched him as he was smiling and laughing with his friends.

"He's kinda cute, but if he's friends with Finn, he's probably just as cocky as he is," Piper says, still observing the redhead and Finn, "so what's the big deal about him?"

"Nearly every girl in our grade level has a huge crush on him. I think the guy is really cocky and thinks he's top gunk because his daddy's a sky knight," Phillip says, looking behind him where Aerrow was and cringing.

"Wait, who's his father?" Piper asked with raised eyebrows.

"Lightning Strike, you know, from the Storm Hawks," Amber says.

"Really? I didn't know Lightning Strike had children," Piper exclaimed.

"Aerrow also has a sister, Iris. She's in grade seven," Macie says.

"Don't get too excited, you might end up having Aerrow fever like Shakia over here," Phillip says sarcastically.

"Hey! He's so sweet and charming," Shakia snaps in defense, "I was talking to him this morning."

"Charming my foot, I think the word you're looking for is cocky," Phillip says, rolling his eyes before adding, "and for the record, you bumped into him and he helped up then you ran away."

"Well," Piper says before the topic goes off track, "I don't plan on having a crush on this Aerrow guy. The fact that he's friends with Finn is kind of a deal-breaker for me."

"I like her," Oliver laughs, "she doesn't seem to be completely clueless to how much of an idiot Finn is, can't stand that guy."

"How do you know Finn, anyways?" Dove asks.

"Yeah I think he and Byron know each other too, I saw them talking a couple times before," Macie says.

"Yeah, he's a family friend of ours. We live on neighboring terras and our fathers went to school together; plus Finn's dad is a blacksmith so my parents get kitchen utensils and such from him," Piper says before continuing, "leading me to the unfortunate event of knowing Finn," she adds with a sigh.

"I wonder if he's tried flirting with you," Oliver says with a laugh.

"Who hasn't he flirted with?" Macie asks sarcastically.

"Me," Amber says and slightly raises her hand.

"Yeah he hasn't flirted with me either, unless calling me 'super-nerd' counts," Piper says.

"He called me fat in seventh grade," Amber says, biting her lip.

Piper's face changed into a frown, "what a jerk."

"He's very shallow, and what he did was very uncalled for too," Dove adds.


"Hey, check out the new girl," Marcus, a guy who sat across from Aerrow said, motioning his head towards where Piper sat.

Marcus was a year or so older than Aerrow and hung out with their general friend group. Despite this, Aerrow was not a fan of Marcus at all; he was tall, wiry, muscular build with light brown hair in a Mohawk. Aerrow thought Marcus was a complete sleaze, and kind of a bully. Aerrow has tried speaking his mind about his feelings toward Marcus, but Marcus keeps thinking he's only joking.

"Isn't her name Piper? She's in my math class last period," Ivan says.

"Well, she's hot," Marcus says, "I'm totally gonna plow her."

Aerrow rolled his eyes in disgust; he definitely knew what this meant. Marcus was going to try hitting on her, convince her he likes her, do coitus with her, then dump her.

"I bet when I talk to her and tell her how I feel, she'll be like 'uh what does that mean?' Because she's from a prep school and she doesn't understand slang," Marcus says, irritating Aerrow. Finn looked over and noticed the irritation written on his friend's face.

"Dude, just because she went to private school doesn't mean she was raised under a rock, of course she understands slang, trust me she's been around me so of course she would understand slang," Finn says with obvious annoyance.

"Either way, she's hot, and I'm gonna go for her, like who can resist this," Marcus says with a wink.

"I don't know, maybe her. You know, most people who come from private schools are pretty smart and last time I checked, females aren't objects," Aerrow says trying to hide his irritation.

Marcus lets out a laugh before speaking, "you know, you're hilarious man, I love ya."

Aerrow draws in a deep breath before speaking, "hey Finn, you wanna come with me to get food?"

"Dude, we just sat down, why didn't you get food then?" Finn asked, oblivious to what Aerrow was really asking.

"Finn, come with me to get food," Aerrow demanded, raising his eyebrows to hint they weren't actually going to get food.

"You don't gotta be so aggressive about it," Marcus said in a singy-songy voice.

"Shut up Marcus," Finn says, getting the hint Aerrow was giving, "yeah, I'll get food with you."

Aerrow nods as the pair rise from their seats. As the pair walked by, Aerrow quickly glanced at Piper and her new friends. He waited until he was outside of the cafeteria before speaking, "you know, I can't stand that guy."

"Yeah, I can tell," Finn responded casually.

"He's so... egotistical and such a perverted dirt bag! If he tries getting with that girl I'm gonna be... very angry," Aerrow says, his voice slightly softening when he realized Marcus was twice his size and he couldn't just fight him.

"Dude, Piper can protect herself, she knows Sky Fu, remember? She can give him a swift kick to the nads if need be," Finn said optimistically.

"Yeah, maybe you're right, I shouldn't be so worried about it," Aerrow admitted.

"Dude, it's alright, you have a crush on her, it happens," Finn said jokingly.

"I do not," Aerrow retorted.

"It's pretty obvious, yes you do."

"Do not!"

"Aerrow, I've known you since grade school, I know when you have a schoolgirl crush on someone."

The bell rang to indicate lunch was over and students were to move to their next period class, people immediately responded to it by moving to their classes.

"What class do you have next?" Aerrow asked his friend.

"I have music with Mr. Skylander, Byron told me he's a really nice guy, and you?" Finn answered.

"I have art with," Aerrow pauses to glance at his schedule, "Mrs. Pine."

"Dude, who's that? Where is she," Finn glanced at Aerrow's schedule, "oh, dude we're not that far from each other!"

"Awesome, let's get to class then before we're late," Aerrow says with a smile.
