So technically this is the first chapter, since the last was a prologue, so this will be much longer. There will also be some OCs in this story. I told you guys I'd get this up soon! Anyways, please enjoy!

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Her parents dropped her off at what would be her home for the next 10 months. They walked her to the principal's office, hugged her and parted with tears in their eyes, like all the years before. She sat in the office lobby, waiting to be called in. While she was waiting, two students walked in and took seats on the opposite side of the room from her. They were both boys and both wildly attractive. One had short blond hair and purple eyes that were stone cold yet mysterious. He was quite tall and stiff, and he wore a white and blue riding suit. They weren't wearing their uniforms since it was a Sunday, obviously.

The other guy also had blond hair that was a bit longer than the other guy. He was also shorter and seemed a lot less serious too. His eyes were a deep, dark blue that was almost captivating. He wore a black dress shirt that looked to be silk with white dress pants and a white blazer and riding boots that were also white. Akiza was surprised to see such good looking guys. The hottest guy at her old school wasn't even half as attractive as these guys. She was starting to like this school better already.

"Akiza?" Asked one of the secretaries. She nodded and stood up, walking over to the desk the secretary was sitting at. "The principal will see you now," she said sweetly, then reverted her attention to the two blonds, "And after she comes out, you two can go in." She told them a lot less nicely.

Akiza went into the office, which turned out to be very elaborate. It was decorated with red velvet curtains and golden framed paintings. She examined the room with awe. A bit fancy for a principal's office…

"Hello Miss Izinski." The principal said dully with a monotone voice. He was really old and wrinkly. "This is your schedule. Here is your dorm number. You will be sharing a room with another student named Miss Leblanc. You can learn her first name when you meet her. Here is the key to your dorm room, your gym uniform, school uniform and combinations to your gym locker and regular locker. I hope you enjoy your experience here at Duel Academy Boarding School. Outside in the lobby, there will be another student here to take you on a tour of our school." He recited, obviously he had memorized some speech given to him because it was the least enthusiastic thing she had heard in her entire life. She took new school bundle and exited the office after thanking the old man.

In the lobby, there was a girl student with aqua green hair and her school uniform on. She looked to be the same age and seemed nice. Akiza approached her and smiled. "Hi, I'm Akiza, I'm the new student here." She greeted kindly.

The girl smiled back. "Hi! I'm Luna. I'm your tour guide for the day. Follow me!" Akiza obliged and kept close behind her.

Even though it was a Sunday, there were still quite a few students in the hallways. Whenever a student looked at her, she smiled back at them. She wanted to seem nice so that she might make a few friends, or at least no one would hate her.

Luna navigated them through the large school, showing her where her classes were, some popular areas of the campus and answered any of Akiza's questions. She was really helpful and nice, maybe they could be friends…

"And this is the cafeteria! It was designed to hold 2000 students and is kept clean with the highest quality products and a sharp janitorial staff. The decorations have been updated each year and in my opinion become better and more exquisite with each new year. It's a very popular hangout spot as well when you have a spare or want to just chat with some friends after school. The cooks are on-staff from 5am to 5pm everyday except Sundays and make many different cultural foods for you to enjoy! This room is open 24/7 as well, so you always have a place to go when you're bored!" Luna explained, obviously very knowledgeable on the area. Akiza stared in wonder at the beautiful room. She never thought a cafeteria could be so nice.

Luna then showed her to her dorm room, and gave Akiza her cell phone number, in case she had any other questions. Akiza gave Luna her cell phone number as well and thanked her before letting herself into her new room.

When she entered, she dropped her bags in pure amazement. The room was decorated with purple, velvet curtains and tapestry. The couches were the same colour and huge, drowning with pillows. The carpet was incredibly soft and clean, and there was a fireplace across from a full kitchen. There were two doors, both led to bedrooms obviously, but Akiza didn't know which one was hers.

"Hello?" She called out, hoping her roommate was in the room.

One of the doors opened and a blond girl walked out into the living space. The girl was pale and had green eyes. She was wearing some dark blue sweatpants and a light blue tank top at the moment and looked a little tired.

"Hello, I'm Sherry. You must be my new roommate, welcome." She welcomed, not as enthusiastically as she usually would welcome someone but she was still nice about it.

"I'm sorry if I woke you." Akiza apologized realizing she probably did.

"It's alright, I needed to wake up anyways. Here, let me help you with your bags." She offered.

Akiza nodded and gave Sherry one of her bags to carry into her new room. It was quite large for a dorm bedroom. She had a queen sized bed, a mahogany desk, a dresser with four draws, a closet and a TV. Both girls unpacked Akiza's things and Akiza organized her stuff while Sherry sat on her bed, chatting and asking Akiza questions about herself.

"So, do you think you'll fit in?" Sherry asked nonchalantly.

Akiza shook her head. "I have no idea. I hope I do though."

Sherry nodded, understanding her position. "Well what kind of crowd were you with at your old school?"

Akiza froze for a split second before resuming her sorting and organizing. "I wasn't really in a crowd." She confessed.

Sherry frowned. "You mean you were an outcast?" she asked.

Akiza nodded. "Pretty much." There was a silence between the two, when Akiza thought of an idea. "Well, maybe if I know what the people here are like, I'll know who I'll fit in with." She suggested.

Sherry smirked at this. "I suppose. I don't know how to help you out there, I only really hang around with like, five guys." Akiza nodded in understanding as she finished sorting out her clothes and got to her school supplies. "But, I can tell you this." Akiza perked up and halted everything she was doing, giving Sherry her full attention. She continued, "Stay away from a guy named Takami and his group, they're rich, arrogant, snotty, beautiful kids who only care about themselves, except Kichimi, she's pretty nice. Other than her, I wouldn't talk to them at all."

Akiza nodded, trusting Sherry's advice. Although she was curious about something, "What do you mean by beautiful?" she asked.

Sherry's eyes widened and she seemed to enter a dreamy haze. "They're absolutely gorgeous! Every single one of them! Especially Kiyomi! He is so beautiful!" She continued to stare at the wall in her hazy world until Akiza snapped her fingers in front of her face. She shook her head and righted herself. "Yes well, don't go near them if you know what's good for you."

Akiza nodded again, and went back to her organizing. She tried to imagine what they looked like, but she didn't knowhow to picture them. Maybe those two blonds that were in the office earlier are in that group?

As she finished up her sorting and organizing, her cell phone buzzed. She sat next to Sherry on her bed and read the text message. It was from Luna and said: "Hey Akiza! Hope you've settled in well! Come down to the cafeteria when you get the chance, I have some people I want you to meet! Luna."

"Luna wants me to go meet some people at the caf." Akiza informed Sherry, who nodded in response.

"Okay, I'll come with you. If it's who I think it is then I'm sure we'll have a great time. I just need to get changed, okay?" Akiza nodded in response and Sherry exited the room. Akiza looked at what she was wearing; a pleated grey skirt and a dress shirt with a tie. She figured it was a little too formal and decided to change as well. She put on some dark denim skinny jeans and a red blouse with little roses on it and a pair of black tennis shoes that also had little roses on them. She decided to put her hair up in a bun and left a few long strands loose on the right side of her face.

She came out of her room and found Sherry in some regular jeans and a blue sweater that said 'Duel Academy Dragons' on it. Sherry looked at Akiza and nodded.

"MUCH better!" She approved. Akiza glared at her for a split second in response.

"We should get going to the caf, which way again?" Akiza asked, already forgetting the school map. Sherry smirked and led her through the halls of the school until they reached the cafeteria.

They arrived and Luna immediately saw them. "Akiza! You look great!" Luna exclaimed as she hugged Akiza. She definitely had at least one friend now. "Here let me introduce you to a couple of my friends! Oh, hey Sherry!" She embraced Sherry as well before continuing to introduce Akiza.

"This is my brother Leo." She announced. She pointed at a boy with the exact same hair colour. They were obviously twins. Their eyes wear the same, their height was the same. He wasn't in his uniform though, he was wearing a blue T-shirt with some jeans.

"Hiya!" He greeted. Akiza smiled and shook his hand.

"Hi Leo." She returned.

Luna then proceeded to the next person. "This is Jack."

Akiza's eyes widened as she remembered him. "I saw you this morning at the principals office!" She exclaimed.

A red haired boy who was rather short started to laugh. "Of course you did!" Jack elbowed him in the stomach.

Akiza gave a nervous smile as she shook Jacks hand. "Yes that was me you saw this morning."

Akiza nodded and leaned over to Sherry. "These people are the safe ones, right?"

Sherry giggled and nodded. "Yes these are the nice ones. Jack is just a little… rough, I guess. You'll get used to it." She assured.

Jack eyed the two girls suspiciously. "What are you two whispering about?" he said accusingly.

Akiza turned to him, a little taken aback. "None of your business!" she exclaimed.

He sneered at her, trying to get her to crack, but she looked at him just as intensely. This went on for a while until the red-head piped up again.

"She's alright! Hey pal, I'm Crow." He informed as he slapped Akiza on the back. He left his arm there and smiled. "We're gonna be great friends!" he announced as he eyed Jack, searching for a response.

Jack just closed his eyes and smirked. "Of course you are."

Crows smile fell and he sat back in his seat again. Jack chuckled at Crow's actions and slightly shook his head.

Luna decided to pipe up. "Wasn't Yusei supposed to be here by now?"

Crow shook his head. "He's probably being held up by Bruno and his 'amazing discovery' on something." The group nodded. Akiza noticed Sherry become a bit uncomfortable at the mention of the latter boys name.

"Is something wrong Sherry?" Akiza asked out of worry.

Sherry simply shook her head. "I'm fine Akiza, no worries." She gave a weak smile and Akiza returned it with a worried one.

A sprinting figure stole their attention. A boy with dark, crab-shaped hair and cobalt blue eyes came running down the hall frantically. He stopped in between Luna and Leo and used Leo for support and he tried to catch his breathe.

"I'm here! *pant*pant* I'm here! *PANT* Where's the new girl I'm supposed to meet and be nice to?" He asked as he began to straighten up.

Akiza frowned and started to raise her hand. "That would be me."

END

I know, I know, weird way to end it, but it got to be a bit longer than I usually make chapters so I had to wrap it up. Please REVIEW!
