Chapter 1 - New friends!

I entered the school building and saw that about two-third of the students here were playing around and having fun starting from before morning classes. This school has some 'rowdy' students alright, not that I'm complaining, I like it this way. I located my classroom at the second floor and took a seat near a window at the opposite side of the classroom door, then homeroom began.

The teacher came in and we sat down after we wished him and then he introduced himself.

"Hello students, you can call me teacher Harris. I'll be in charge of you all for the whole school year. Now, I've remember all your names from last year's class but I see we have a new classmates as well. Please, introduce yourself miss." I stood up- wait, am I the only new student here? Anyway- "My name is Claire... Williams, pleased to make your acquaintance." the whole class fell silent, did they notice I'm the-

"Well, nice to meet you Claire, I hope you feel right at home as your old school in here. You may sit." teacher Harris greeted.

I took my seat and the lessons started just after. Later, it was break time and almost the whole class went outside, in my old school, no one ever went out, they like to study instead, well, unless they had something to attend to during break. A girl approached me from across my seat.

"Hey there, new g- I mean Claire! It's correct right? I mean the name."

"Wha- oh, yes, it is. Nice to meet you... Um."

"Oh silly me! My names Chelsea Snowdrop. You can call me Chelsea!" she said, oh my! My first friend and she seems so nice already!

"Hey, I'll introduce you to my friends over there!" she said, pointing towards empty seats...

"Hey! They've left me behind again!" waving arms frantically.

I smiled, she's a funny character, I don't think anything would be boring with her, then she held out her hand and said,

"Come on, I'll take you to where they are!".

I reached out my hand, she grabbed it and then started to run while guiding me through the corridors.

"Where are we going?" I asked, while panting.

"To our 'Secret base'!" she replied, continuing to run.

Secret base? Were they some sort of organization?

She led me to the rooftop where a small storage-shed type house stood.

"We're here! Hey, are you tired already?" she asked.

"Y-yeah, that's the first time I've ever ran that fast" I said, in between breaths.

"You're kidding me! Anyway, welcome to our humble secret base. We asked the teachers for permission to use this room, it wasn't being used anyway. We cleaned it, put in some indoor furniture and now its fit for people to stay!" she explained, as she opened the door.

"Hey guys! Why'd you run off without me?" she asked, pouting to the other people inside the room.

"Well you were really slow." one of them replied.

"I had a reason! Anyway, meet our new friend!" she declared, as she pulled me inside

"H-hello, nice to meet you all." I said, a bit shy to be introduced to some unfamiliar face.

"Ah, Claire Williams, right? Nice to meet you too, my name is Jill Crystal." a girl with brown hair tied to a pony tail and purple eyes said.

Then a girl with long black hair said,

"I'm Mary Luke".

Then a boy with brownish blonde hair came forward and introduced himself,

"I'm Rock Samson. These two are Cliff Alexander and Vaughn Gerald." he pointed to two boys at the back, one had silver-ish hair with amethyst eyes and the other had brown hair and eyes. Somehow, he looked a lot like someone I know way back but can't put my finger at it.

"It seems our last 'member' is missing, as always. No need to introduce him, you'll meet him eventually anyway. Oh, welcome to our group!" Ashley said

"Y-yeah." was the only thing I could say, I felt speechless, so many new friends all in one day and they seem so nice as well!

You won't have to worry about me now dad. I thought as I looked at my new friends.

The day seemed so short, its already time for school to end. We said our goodbyes as we headed home.

-Regison mansion-

At dinner time, our family, which only consisted of me, mum and dad, dined together. Then mum asked,

"So, how was your new school?"

"It was very fun! No one knew me, the teachers didn't recognize me either and for once, I was treated as a normal girl! I've also made many friends as they led me to their secret base in the former storage room at the roof top."

"Secret base? Are your new friends bunking classes? And did you say roof top? That's dangerous!" my dad said, getting overly worried for my well being again, and so I assured him

"No, they don't bunk classes, they only go there during breaks. And its not dangerous, there are fences all round the roof."

I guess he calmed down after I said that as we continued to eat our dinner.

"Well, as long as they don't do anything bad, I guess its okay." my dad stated.

I don't believe this, my dad said okay of my new friends at the first I mentioned them! He normally wouldn't accept them having secret bases and such, I guess he understands that I wanted to be treated normally now!

Later, before I went to bed, I would look up at the stars. It always makes me feel calm whenever I'm upset and makes me feel like I'm in a whole new different world. While doing so, I spotted a shooting star, so I made a wish.

'I wish that the coming days will be filled with adventures and fun... And I also wish that I may be able to meet 'that' boy again soon...'

With that, I went to sleep, while thinking of the many fun times I'll be able to experience in this school accompanied by new friends...

And with this. The first official chapter is done! Please forgive me if it's boring right now, but I assure you all, it's gonna get interesting very soon! Look forward to it. And yes, I'm mixing the characters of different HM games, but I won't add ALL the characters, sorry... Of course, please review, it make me really happy and energized, and as I said, tell me where I can improve in my writings, all I want is for the readers to be happy with the way I write!
