Eiji didn't mind waking up early in the morning if it was to go to the Aquarium. She could be an early bird if whatever needed to be done that day was worth doing. School however was not on her list of things worth doing. It was stupid to wake up earlier than any normal human should and go memorize a bunch of bullshit that she would soon forget and memorize even more bullshit and then the cycle repeats itself until one is graduated it. is. Unbearable.

"Eiji!" Agamine burst into Eiji's room "It's your first day of school!"

"…"

"Eiji! Get up." Agamine jumped on Eiji's bed "You have to get dressed!"

"Get out." Eiji growled hiding further under the covers.

"Eiji!" Agamine scolded ripping away her covers. "If you don't get up now you'll miss breakfast!"

"I don't plan on it."

"You don't plan on eating?"

"I don't plan on getting up."

"You can't miss anymore school!" Agamine pouted "You're going to have too much paperwork to do!"

"One more day won't hurt." Eiji yawned and snuggled deeper into her bed.

"Eiji…" Agamine sighed laying on top of her.

"Get off of me!" Eiji screamed into her bed

"IIIIIITTTTT'SSSS GONNNAAAA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT AAAAAAAAAND BEAUTIFUL DAAAAAAAAAY!" Agamine began sing-screaming at the top of his lungs causing Eiji to vomit in her mouth a little bit.

"FINE I'M GETTING UP! STOP SINGING!" Eiji pushed her brother off her roughly before jumping out of bed.

"Thank you." Agamine smiled sweetly peeling himself from the hardwood floor.

"Hey mom!?" Eiji yelled from her room as she tried to pull the tiny skirt over her thighs. She was failing. Badly. "Mom!"

"Mom's busy what do you need?" Catherine stepped into her room eying her daughter awkwardly as she lay on the floor trying to pull on her skirt.

"This skirt is too small." Eiji explained even though it was obvious.

"It fit yesterday when you tried it on." Catherine puzzled. "You're probably bloating or something just suck it in."

"That would help if I could get it over my thighs." Eiji Noted.

"Give it here." Eiji slipped off the skirt and tossed it to Catherine. "What the hell?" Catherine inspected the skirt that would be a normal size if it were for an oompa loompa… or a very large Barbie doll. "Who did the laundry last night?"

"I did." Agamine walked into the doorway his white Samezuka academy suit on. "Why?"

"You ruined Eiji's skirt." Catherine growled "What did I say about using hot water on uniform material?"

"To….not do that?" Agamine blushed sleepily.

"Can I just wear jeans until we get another skirt?" Eiji asked still sitting on the floor.

"I'd rather you wear dress pants." Catherine noted.

"Fine." Eiji sighed "Agamine I need your ugly brown dress pants." Eiji deadpanned

"Ouch sis!" Agamine Pouted "Straight through the heart!" he cried out as he went to his room to retrieve them.

"Just go get them I'm gonna be late." Eiji buttoned up her jacket all the way "And come tie this neck thing for me!" she yelled to him.

"Well I'm gonna take a nap." Catherine cracked her back, Exhausted from watching over the sick dolphin all night for the past few days.

"Have fun." Eiji said without watching her mom walk away.

"Here dork." Agamine threw his pants at his sister's face.

"Stop! You'll mess up my hair!" Eiji had finally gotten her hair to spike into perfect points and she was not going to let it be ruined by flying pants.

"Sorry." Agamine said sarcastically "I was ignorant to your stunning hair."

"Shut up and help me tie this thing." Eiji growled as she jumped into the pants.

Agamine laughed and tied his sister's bow for her making it perfectly tight yet not too tight. "Are you sure you're allowed to wear all your piercings to school?"

"I don't know." Eiji shrugged "what are they gonna do rip em' out of my face? the worst thing they'll do is tell me to take em' out" Eiji flashed a grin her one sharp tooth sparkling brightly "Wouldn't be the first time I've gotten in trouble for violating dress code yeah?"

"Or the second or the third." Agamine went to pat his sister on the head lovingly but she swatted him away.

"Hair." She deadpanned

"Right." Agamine scoffed. "So I'm taking the train how are you getting to school?"

"I've got my own method of transportation."

The only good thing about Keon going to college was that the college he went to disallowed Mopeds So Keon took Eiji's bike with him to Uni and Eiji used his Moped. As much as she would like to say it's her moped, it's not. Even though Keon lets her use it while he's away in exchange for the borrowing of Eiji's Bike it is still not her Moped. But damn did she love zipping around on that thing.

2 sharp corners later she found herself at the school parking the moped next to all the bicycles. Nearby students watched curiously as Eiji retrieved her bag from the storage box on the back of the moped. Eiji pulled an excessively massive chain from her bag with an equally massive lock on it and secured her brother's moped. It may seem a bit much for a moped but Eiji had no intention of paying for a new one if this one got stolen. Hence, the large chain.

Eiji noticed the nearby students staring at her oddly as she situated herself "What? What is it?" she looked at them brows furrowed and mouth showing no expression "It's rude to stare! What do you want?"

The students fearfully scrambled away from Eiji towards the school having no intention of ever saying anything to the new student ever again. Eiji watched them run away in confusion a pierced brow raised. She shrugged to herself and headed towards the office.

"*cgh* shit…" Eiji tugged at her neck bow gently trying to get it to loosen up its death grip on her neck "Screw it." she gave on fierce yank letting it dangle untied "Freaking necktie." She growled angrily to herself in English scaring nearby students. "Stupid jacket." Eiji unbuttoned her jacket all the way. "Everything's so tight and itchy."

Eiji noticed that nearby students were pointing and whispering to each other but Eiji was too lazy to translate it to herself, much less care. What could they possibly be whispering about that was so freaking fascinating?

Upon finding the said office Eiji opened the door and roughly let it slam on itself causing the secretary to jump in shock.

"This the office?" The woman nodded slowly at Eiji wondering if she should be frightened or not at the sudden appearance of Eiji, her many piercings and what not glistening in the light. "I'm Eiji Katsuyaia... I'm new and I need my schedule."

"Y-Your Eiji Katsuyaia?" the woman adjusted her glasses studying Eiji intently. "I was told Eiji was a…female?" she said looking at her pants almost frightened Eiji would punch her in the face if she said one word wrong.

Eiji sighed assuming she was using sarcasm about the pants "Look I know I'm wearing pants and all but my brother shrunk my skirt in the laundry and it was either this or jeans." Eiji explained sounding exasperated "Is it really that big of a deal? Do I need to-" before Eiji could ask if she needed to buy a new skirt the secretary started shaking her head vigorously.

"No no no! I was just… surprised is all. As long as you're wearing the required uniform there's no rule against girls wearing pants." The secretary stated as if she's had to explain this before. "It may… take some time for me to get everything ready for you… you and your parents agreed that you would only be taking half classes right?"

"That's right…" Eiji confirmed.

"Okay just let me do this aaaannnd… okay!" Eiji waited patiently as the secretary waited for something to print off. "Alrighty then! Here is you schedule and a map of the school!"

"Thank you." Eiji took her schedule and began to leave but as a thought struck her she stopped in the doorway. "Uh miss?"

"Yes?" the secretary looked at Eiji curiously.

"Can you… please keep the whole Half classes thing on the DL?...please" Eiji's cheeks turned red "Its… kinda personal."

"Of course. I'll keep it on the DL." The secretary winked

"Thank you." Eiji bowed and exited the office.

"This is so stupid…" Eiji struggled with her school map. She was already late to her first class and got scolded by the teacher because of it. It's not her fault she can understand this stupid map! Ugh so if the next class is to the north… how the heck was she supposed to know which way north was?!

Eiji stopped in the middle of the hallway balling her map in her fists in frustration "How does this school work!?" She yelled to herself in English scaring a few nearby students. Eiji sighed deciding to ask one of the students. Not noticing she scared the ones nearest to her she decided to ask them

"Um excuse me can you point me to-" Eiji started to ask but as she looked up from her schedule to the students they were gone. "Huh…" Eiji saw two boys walking together to their next class "Excuse me guys?"

"Sorry dude busy!" the guy bellowed not even looking at Eiji.

Eiji let out a sharp huff of frustration as she turned to watch them go. Was anyone in this school helpful?

Just as Eiji was turning in the other direction she heard someone shout and felt a force crash into her and knock her to the floor, a plethora of flyers fluttering into the air around them like butterflies.

"Nagisa!" a voice that Eiji found familiar scolded the person who knocked her down "Are you okay?"

"You need to be more careful." Another voice also familiar deadpanned.

"You can't run in a crowded hallway!" a squeaky female voice chirped.

Silence engulfed them as the Dark haired student rose from the ground like a demon, flipping her bangs out of her face she adjusted her shirt with a disgruntled look on her face. She glanced at the honey blonde who was still on the floor who looked at Eiji with fear in his eyes as she stared down at him with a shadow casting over her face.

She slowly kneeled, jade eyes meeting pink ones straight on.

"Are you okay?" that was the last thing Nagisa expected to hear, the hard look on the heavily pierced student made her seem mad almost but her voice sounded more like a concerned yet strict older sister.

"Y-yes!" Nagisa scooped began to gather some of the flyers he dropped "I'm so sorry I knocked you down!"

"Its fine" Eiji shrugged not really in the mood to be pissed about something so menial. She helped him gather the other flyers along with his friends and handed them over to him.

"W-Wait!" The tallest of the group studderd staring at Eiji with wide eyes "It's you! From the old swim club!"

Eiji squinted at him for a moment before her eyes widened in realization "Oh shit it's you guys." She readjusted her messenger bag "I didn't know you guys went here."

"That was you at Samezuka last night weren't you?" Nagisa exclaimed "you were with that other guy."

"Would you guys shush about the places I illegally went to?" Eiji reproached them harshly "I haven't been caught and I'd prefer to keep it that way."

"Why were you sneaking around Samezuka?" Makoto asked innocently curious.

"Nonya. It's nothing important or illegal anyway so don't worry about it." she didn't like that this guy was trying to get info out of her so Eiji switched her gaze from the green haired giant to the smaller busty redhead who had been pointing at her gaping like a fish. Oh no this was gonna bug Eiji all day where had she seen her before? Whoever she was she seemed unresponsive so Eiji turned to the blue eyed guy who had simply observed the situation in silence. Eiji suddenly held the map that had been previously crumpled in her fist in front of him.

"Do you know where this is?" Eiji pointed to a circled spot on her map, the place where she had been trying to get to before she was plowed to the floor.

Haruka stared at her for a moment before looking at where she was pointing to. Without any facial expression he pointed to the nearest perpendicular hall

"Second door on your left." He replied

"Thanks." Eiji spun on her heel and strode off to her next class.

Gou continued to gape and point at Eiji even as she was walking away.

"Gou? Gou what are you doing?" Makoto shook her shoulder to try and get her to snap out of it.

"He…he…that…that's…." Gou struggled to get the words out as she.

"Are we doing charades? It's a place! No! It's an animal! Is it a narwhal?!" Nagisa guessed excitedly

"It's mackerel." Haruka deadpanned

"That-That's him!" Gou managed to force out "That's the guy from the aquarium!"

Makoto was confused "Gou what are you-" Makoto suddenly gasped in realization "Wait… that's the guy you told us about?! The one who held their breath for 3 minutes?!" Makoto exclaimed

"So our guy from the old club and from the Samezuka pool and Gou's guy from the aquarium…ARE THE SAME PERSON?!" Nagisa exclaimed very loudly earning a shush from the hall monitor.

"Guys you know what this means right?!" Gou squealed "We can have a 4th swimmer! You guys can do relays!"

"How do you know if he would join the swim team?" Haru inquired

"Trust me! He will!" Gou exclaimed "Anyone who can hold their breath for that long must love to swim!"

Good news was Eiji's 2nd period teacher was much more forgiving about a new student being late than her first period teacher was and very kindly gave her written instructions on how to find her next classes, that made finding her next classes much easier. Fortunately now it was lunchtime.

Eiji walked while eating a banana and researching the weeks weather on her phone trying to kill a little time before she could officially leave to go home for her lunch. Eiji wanted to go take Ramee fishing sometime soon and she wanted to know what the best time for that would be. Ramee had been so scared about going to a new school knowing so little Japanese she cried every night the week prior to school. Eiji had felt so sorry and so heartbroken for her little sister she pinky promised they would go fishing soon.

Eiji had gone fishing quite a few times in her life and she was kind of good at it. Kala wanted her to appreciate the hard work that goes into fishing and respect the fact that an animal is dying so she could go on. At first that fact made Eiji upset but as she got older she understood the meaning behind the lesson. Kala wanted Eiji to respect her food and treat it with respect till the very end. Ramee was a bit more understanding of it and a lot less teary than Eiji was when she caught and ate her first fish. She's a tough little girl.

"Hey you!" Eiji winced at the annoying background noise as she continued to read on her phone… this week isn't looking to good but if they wait after next week's storms…

"Hey! Wait up!"

Eiji tossed her banana peel away and searched her black messenger bag for her headphones not breaking her stride or tearing her eyes away from her phone. If people are going to be stupid loud then-

"WAIT FOR ME!" You know that feeling when you miss a stair? Your just going about your day in a numb state of mind minding your own business then BAM, miss a stair And it's not the nice carpeted stairs of your house it's a public cement stair, and your falling towards the ground face forward your about to bash in all your teeth and possibly break your nose up into your brain and die? You're just so terrified and helpless? No Eiji wasn't falling but the feeling is comparable to what Eiji was feeling as Gou grabbed Eiji's arm.

"WHAT!? WHAT IS IT?!" Eiji was in full on panic mode so scared she peed just a little.

"Oh... I was just…" she was just. She was JUST?

"SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ME MY GOD WOMAN." A thing about Eiji is that she can be so insanely jumpy and at other times not at all. She's usually jumpy when she's zoned into something so deep that interrupting her is like throwing a polar bear in her lap while she's asleep. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"I just wanted to thank you for getting my bracelet the other day!" The girl shouted closing her eyes ready to be yelled at again as she trembled in fear.

Eiji stared at Gou for a moment before she snapped her fingers in realization "Yes! That's who you are! The bracelet chick!" Eiji let out a relived sigh feeling a pressure lift off her chest "That was bothering me all day."

"Y-Yeah!" Gou relaxed a little seeing that Eiji had calmed down. "I wanted to introduce myself I'm Matsuoka Gou

"I'm Ei- Katsuyaia Eiji." Eiji mentally slapped herself, she keeps forgetting it's proper in japan to introduce you last name first.

"So I noticed you have an accent, where are you from?"

"Uh… United states." Eiji explained

"Wow that's so cool!" Gou sparkled "But anyways I wanted to ask you something." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a flyer and a keychain. "You see we're starting a swim club, I know you're a fantastic swimmer and we would like to invite you to join." Gou handed her the flyer "If you join you get this cute Keychain!"

Eiji scanned over the flyer for a quick second before crumpling it up and shoving it into her pocket. Gou blanched

"I don't do sports." Eiji said plainly

"I-I but you're so good at swimming and I just thought that-"

"Look…I have to go." Eiji interrupted just wanting to escape from the situation suddenly wishing Agamine was the one who had retrieved her bracelet. She turned quickly on her heel and sped off

Gou stood there dumbfounded as she watched Eiji speed away. Eiji's eyes almost looked…sad in a way. Gou wondered what had caused her to react that way.
