Chapter 3

Another three months have passed…

Colony 891, Ferndale City

"Boys and Girls, please, take your seats!" The teacher, who is named Dona Crave, called out as she waited until all the students are on their seats, "Thank you!"

"Now, we have a new transfer student today! Please, come in and introduce your self to the class!"

As the whole class watched patiently, a girl of 10 years old have stepped inside the room. Her long sandy brown hair were braided and hung on one shoulder, she has a pretty face that caught everyone's attention but what got the student mesmerized were her eyes, it was Prussian blue.

The new girl stood beside the teacher with a soft smile on her face.

"Hello, my name is Maria Juliet PeaceCraft Yuy!" MJ announced, "I transferred here from an all Girls Academy in England! I wish we all become friends!"

With that said and done, Ms. Crave have assigned her a seat from the 3rd row from the left and the 5th desk down behind a blond haired boy. But then again, she have realized when she stepped into the room was that the order of the seating was odd. It was boy, girl, boy, girl and the other was girl, boy, girl, boy that come to conclusion that MJ was cornered in four different direction by boys.

'Oh well, as long as they…' MJ began to think but was cut off by a tap on the shoulder; she turned her head slightly and whispered, "Yes?"

"My name's Ryan Camelot!" the boy smiled at her as he pointed on the left behind him to a girl, "That's my girlfriend Taira White!"

MJ let her eyes moved to the girl who gave her a smile and wave. Taira was a slim looking girl with black short hair and eyes.

"Let's be friends…" Tiara whispered to her.

'Maybe a few friends won't be so bad…' MJ thought as she smiled back and wave before answering, "That would be wonderful…"

Before the other students could open their mouths, Ms. Crave began the first lesson. After that, MJ was off to her 2nd class but while she was packing her books back into her bag, Ryan and Taira came beside her.

"Maria, what class do you have next?" Asked Taira, "Maybe we could help you out since it's your first day and all…"

MJ smiled back before reading her class schedule, "Math with Ms. Goldie Swain… Room A-1"

Tiara smiled wider, "Oh, she's my next class too! I'll walk you there!"

"Mine too," A girl voice called out, which MJ turned to look.

She was a little heavy but with a nice face, brown hair and green eyes, the girl smiled at MJ, "My name is Francesca Cain, it's nice to meet you Maria…"

"It's nice to meet you too!" MJ smiled back, "Let's get going to the next class, I don't want to be late on my first day…"

Tiara turned to Ryan, "Sweetie, isn't your next class gym? You're going to be late, again…"

Ryan puff up his chest with a silly grin, "Like Mr. Crouch could do anything about it…"

"Oh? I heard he made you run 5 laps around the track and 50 push ups for being late?" Francesca teased, "I heard his making another punishment for you to do…"

With that said, Ryan gave Tiara a kiss on the cheek, said his goodbyes to the girls and off he went to class leaving the three girls giggling.

"Well, let's go! The class is on the next hall!" Tiara said as she led the way.

"So, Maria, any siblings?" Francisca asked as they walked.

"Yeah, I do!" MJ answered, "My brother Kai is 7, my sister Jasmine is 5 and my baby sister just turned 1 two months ago!"

"Oh how sweet, I wish I have siblings…" Francisca frowned to her self, "It must be nice…"

Tiara laughed, "They can be a pain in the butt! I have a brother whose 12 years old and he goes here too! His name is Aaron White, his the best piano player in the school!"

"Yeah, Tiara's brother is popular but other than his talent…" Francisca eyes became dreamy, "His cute!"

Tiara smirked, "Fran here got the hot for my brother…"

Fran stick her tongue at her, "And what if I do?"

MJ couldn't help but laugh at this; she couldn't help but feel good inside. Then they began to talk about hobbies, past time activities and such as girl's stuff. Slowly, MJ began to get to know her two newfound friends.

The rest of the day was boring as any other classes but MJ have the liking on the Art Class and P.E which she have with Fran and Tiara with three more girls that she met, Julie Feather, Hyaline Wang and Dana Gallo.

"That's Harold Dane, his a cutie…" Dana dreamily cooed, "An athlete…"

The other girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Dana, you sound like a love sick puppy…" Julie giggled, "Your 10 years old and you sound like you're an old woman…"

Dana glared and let out a fake laugh, "I like the boy and so what?"

"Your 10! Don't be desperate!" Tiara added, "I mean, Ryan and I are dating but only on a certain level…"

"We hold hands, we talk on the phone, and we have dates and spend some quality time together…"

"But your kind of idea of a boyfriend is totally different…" Tiara pointed out, "You make it sound a little… well, more that you can handle…"

Dana pouts and frowned, "I didn't mean it like that… I'm way too young and my parents would kill me!"

"Exactly!" Julie agreed, "I don't have a boyfriend and I'm doing ok, guy friends are good enough for me!"

Hyaline turned to MJ, "What about you Maria? Anyone special in your 10 year old life?"

MJ giggled, "You my younger brother and Uncles! My Uncles might kill the boy who tries to date me…"

This caught the other girl's attention, Tiara tittles her head and spoke, "Your brother and Uncles? What happened to your Dad?"

MJ smiled sadly before answering, "He died along with my Mom on a shuttle explosion 6 months ago…"

The other girls gasped as they stared at MJ.

"You mean…" Hyaline began, "THE PeaceCraft Yuy?"

MJ looked up to her and blinked, "Huh?"

Hyaline clam her self before speaking again, "You're the daughter of Heero and Relena PeaceCraft Yuy?"

MJ was taken back and took her a moment or two but not trusting her voice, she nodded. Tiara and Fran gasped as they wrapped their arms around their new friend.

"Oh, Maria! We're sorry…" Tiara said apologetically, "We thought that you're a different kind of PeaceCraft Yuy…"

MJ just giggled softly, "It's ok… I'm ok… So don't worry about it…"

The P.E class continued until it was lunchtime. They gathered under an oak tree, which by that time, the group got larger.

Bella Tan with her twin brother, Tai Tan. Christopher Mewling with his best friend Daniel Hawkins. Jessica Laic with her best friend Lilia May along with her twin sister Jasmine.

MJ was surprised that everyone around her were acting so normal. They all knew who she was but treated her no different unlike the girls from her old school. It was also one of the main reasons she transferred, to get away from all the press and questions. Sympathy and sad looks from anyone who goes pass her but this, it was different.

The group of kids around her didn't show any sign of sympathy and they don't look at her in any sad way. They chat with her and tried to get to know her, which was something MJ didn't expect and she liked it very much.

"Anyway, it was like something out of a fairy tale and a science fiction…" Daniel explained, "But then again, it was also some sort of an adventure/action style script but no one knows for sure…"

"Of course they wouldn't!" Tai pointed out, "Everything is not complete, you wouldn't know until its finish!"

"It would be interesting thou," Chris said, "It would be like another one of those turn of event kind of play…"

"Oh man, I hope I'm not stuck on any 1st role characters…" Ryan rubbed his temple, "Its annoying how Mrs. Kyle put me on some leading role each time there's a play going on… Maybe I should skip school during that day…"

"Uh huh! And leave me by my self?" Tiara glared at him, "Don't think so! If anything, I'll ditch with you!"

The rest of the group laugh except for Maria who was lost on the conversation, which Hyaline took notice.

"There's a Theater play that we do every year and each grade does a play…" Hyaline explained, "We also have to do and cooperate, which for the past few years… Ryan and Tiara have always been picked as lead because they are so cute together!"

Everyone laugh as Tiara and Ryan grunted.

"It's annoying and troublesome…" Tiara pointed out, "I wish someone else gets the leading part this year…"

"Me to…" Ryan agreed.

"Does everyone have to participate?" MJ asked.

"Either be on the stage crew or in the play," Chris answered, "I rather be on the stage crew than being on the play…"

"Chris gets stage frights in front of the audience…" Tai added grinning, "He almost threw up two years ago when we did Snow White and the seven dwarfs! He was Grumpy!"

Everyone laughed.

"Maria, you should get the led this year!" Bella said, "You're so pretty and you stand out!"

"Yes, you should get the lead part! You got that model look on you like one of those young actresses on TV!"

"Yeah, Maria should get the led!" Ryan added, "Then if you have any luck, you can pick which leading man you want!"

With this Chris and Tai smirked.

"You can pick me if you get a chance Maria!" Tai winked.

"I'll even hold my stomach for you if you get the lead!" Chris added with his own smile.

MJ couldn't help but laugh at this and nodded, "Thanks but I'm not so sure about being on a play… I never done one before…"

"Don't worry about it! Mrs. Kyle is very awesome director! She'll help you out on anything!" Fran pointed out, "But don't worry so much! There's some competition this year…"

"How so?" Jasmine spoke up.

Lilia took this as her moment, "Blanca Fawn, she's making a scene…"

Tiara let out an annoyed sigh, "That witch still at it…"

MJ stared at them, "Huh?"

Ryan frown, "Girl got a crush on me and been trying to get me to go out with her…"

Jessica grunted, "Humph! That girl needs a reality check…"

"I told you! Give me 5 minutes with her and she'll never bother Ryan again!" Jasmine wrinkled her nose, "She's being a total pain… Did you know she date Alex Train and dumped him a week later… The poor guy was totally shock!"

MJ listen more about this boy-chasing girl and being raised up the way she's been, she wasn't about to judge someone that she never met. After lunch, they separated and promised to meet outside the gate. MJ found her self-tagging along with Jasmine, Fran and Lilia towards Science and History.

After school, when everyone was leaving. They regrouped outside the gate.

"Maria, all of us live at the same neighborhood…" Jessica pointed to the direction, "What about you?"

"I live on the other side, just 3 blocks from here…" MJ answered.

Everyone eyed her.

"What's wrong?"

Lilia was the one to ask, "You live on one of those big houses in the suburb?"

"Actually, I live near there!" MJ explained, "It's a 5 bedroom house which me and siblings are living in with my Guardian, it's not a mansion…"

The group just smiled at her and patted her back.

"Girl, lets have a look at that house of your tomorrow if we could?" Fran asked, "I have a thing for large houses…"

The others laugh at this point.

"Fran's fanatic about large house for as long we could remember!" Chris explained, "She even explored my house!"

"My parents got a large 8 bedroom house, I got four siblings…"

"Yeah, and you wouldn't believe how big it is!" Fran said excitedly, "3 stories which was awesome!"

MJ couldn't help but giggled, "Alright, alright! After school tomorrow, you can all come along with me!"

"Guys, thanks for being so kind to me on my first day…"

The group blinked and stared at her. They grinned and giggled.

"Maria, there is something about you that interest us when you walked in side that room earlier," Tiara began, "and believe me when I said this… It's not because of your last name or your status either…"

"You're too pretty not to be friends with and your interesting!" Lilia added, "It's very welcoming and nice, you're not like those snobby rich girls in this school…"

MJ blinked at them, "And you all notice this by just looking at me?"

Bella laugh, "It's something all of us can just pick up, it's always been that way…"

"Anyway, it's nice to make new friends!" Ryan grinned, "It's our pleasure!"

MJ was move by this as everyone agreed with each other.

"Well then," MJ smiled at them, "Call me MJ for now on…"

The group cheered and patted her head and shoulder.

"Welcome to our town MJ!" Jessica cheered.

With that, they wave goodbyes and walked home. MJ couldn't help but keep a smile on her face, as she turned to the corner of her new home.

She wasn't lying about a home of 5 bedrooms; it was not a mansion either. It was a 2 story with 2-garage door and Pagan as her guardian and two other maids that came along with them.

'Home sweet home…' MJ chuckled, 'this will do for now… until I'm ready to return…'

Then she entered her new home and greeted her family. Yes, it was somewhat like a new beginning for them but of course, MJ has her own reason for moving into this town.
