Why am I getting all of these follows/favorites but only 9 reviews? Seriously? I feel like Sayo and Ieyasu: important in the first chapter and then not cared about for the rest of the plot. And to my fellow AP students... you guys are OCs in this story, but the characters of this show are really the main characters. So... just hang in there.
Anyway, please enjoy and try to leave a review! Oh, and in that review, could someone possibly tell me if they know someone who plays a Pokemon 3DS game and has a Chinese or Japanese male Spiritbomb? My friend wants to know.
"Thanks for letting me study with you, Ravi," Helen said as she and her friend entered the kitchen.
"No problem!" Ravi replied, catching a soda Helen tossed him. He also grabbed a cookie off the counter and ate it. "Wow, these cookies are amazing!" the Indian boy exclaimed.
"Aren't those for everyone in our class?" asked Helen suspiciously.
"Yeah, but... THESE COOKIES! Remind me to get the recipe from Jamie!"
Jamie, a brunette with freckles, entered the room, humming. The humming came to an abrupt stop upon seeing her creation being eaten. "Put the cookie down!" she shouted. "NOW!"
Ravi put down the cookie and was chased upstairs to where he and the rest of the boys in his dorm, the Falcon's Nest, slept.
"Whoa, what's the rush?" asked Mike, a 6-ft-3 boy, when Ravi entered the room.
"Don't tell me..." Tomas, the boy who had been pumped by the Japanese singing in the cafeteria, began.
"Crap." was the only word Billy, a highly individual theater geek, could say as Jamie followed Ravi into their room. Huffing, the girl yelled, "No one touches the cookies on the counter! They're for tomorrow in Biology, okay?"
"Got it!" Mike, Ravi, and Tomas replied.
"Sorry about this, Jamie," Billy apologized, giving his roommates a look. When the girl left, he laid down on his bed with a sigh and looked toward the ceiling. "Does anyone else find it weird that our dorm is made up of all freshman?" he asked. The other boys just shrugged the comment off and began to discuss their homework assignment. "Well, screw you, too."
"What exactly is this?!" Tatsumi asked Akame in a frustrated voice as they did their homework.
"It's just distance and midpoint formulas," replied Akame in her normal, emotionless voice.
"It's too simple! I find it hard to believe that a school known for it's hard schoolwork would be giving us stuff like this while we've been here for two weeks!"
"Maybe they're just easing us into the work this year."
"Or maybe this is all a lie! Maybe the stuff about all of this hard work was just rumors!"
"No, it was true." Tatsumi could tell from the look Akame gave him that she wasn't lying. He sighed. "Sorry," he apologized to his fellow dorm member. "I just expected AP Academy to be this horrible place from what people said. I think I'm just stressed."
"Well, you actually have a point," Akame told him, closing her Geometry binder. "They weren't this easy on us our first two weeks last year. On my first day of freshman year, I had a pretest in Algebra and a Seminar about a book I had to read over the summer."
Tatsumi sighed again. "Okay, maybe your first year was terrible for you," he began, "but if AP Academy is changing for the better, and everyone's first two weeks were as easy as ours, then you shouldn't be stressing Sam and Freddy so much by saying how bad it is."
As if on cue, Sam entered the room. "Hey, guys," she greeted. "What's up?"
"Nothing," answered Akame. "Can you tell Tatsumi what you had to do on the first day of school?"
"Oh, yeah. I never really went into detail. Well... my demon Algebra teacher gave us a pretest, and we had to have this 'Seminar' thing on our summer reading book." Sam was pouring herself a glass of TruMoo as she talked. She then looked back up at Akame, who was giving an angry Tatsumi a "Told-you-so," look. "I missed a pretty interesting conversation, didn't I?" asked Sam as she observed the two.
"No, not really," Tatsumi answered, continuing to glare at Akame. However, his anger would soon be torn away from the red-eyed girl and her pessimistic attitude.
Lubbock entered the room, yawning and stretching. "Well, I finally finished my psychology outline!" he announced. "Now I just need to start my lab..."
"CRAP!" exclaimed a frantic Tatsumi, his attention fully on Lubbock. "Isn't our outline due tomorrow?!"
"Yep," the green-haired boy replied.
"And what about that science lab?!"
"That's due Monday."
Tatsumi stood frozen. So this is what everyone meant by hard work... he thought to himself. What exactly... did I get myself into?!
Sam placed a hand on Tatsumi's shoulder. "Don't worry; Freddy and I are in the same boat as you," she reminded him. "Actually, all the freshman are. It's a lot of work, but we'll figure it out together... at least, I hope we will."
Lubbock started clapping. "Well said, freshman!" he cheered. "Well said!" Tatsumi smiled and thanked her. He looked towards Akame, who seemed to nod in approval but didn't change her expression at all. I would really, REALLY like to know what her problem is, he thought to himself. And I would like even more... to know what happened that made her think she didn't have a way out.
Nathan Rivers, known to his friends as Ginger Thunder, met with his dorm members at lunch that Friday. His fellow freshmen, Kurome, Seryu, and Elliot, were already eating. Kurome had one arm greedily holding her bag of cookies to her chest and used the other to wave to Nate. Seryu was feeding her dog, Koro, some of her lunch. Elliot waved to his friend between bites of his sandwich.
"I wish I knew dogs were allowed here," Nathan said to Seryu as he took out his lunchbox. "Anyway, where's everyone else?"
"Bols and Run are probably giving Wave some extra tips on how to survive AP Academy," Seryu answered. "But I don't know where Esdeath is."
"Probably at some senior thing," guessed Elliot.
Nathan smoothed down his red hair and sighed. "Gee, this cafeteria is like an ice cube," he commented distastefully.
"Yeah, it's freezing," Elliot added. "This was NOT a good day to wear short sleeves." The blonde-haired boy shivered.
"And do you boys have a problem with that?" asked an icy voice from behind. Nathan and Elliot cringed as they turned around to see their dorm leader, Esdeath. Her blue eyes glared at the boys, insulted by their comments because she loved the cold. And Esdeath was not someone you wanted to messed with.
"N-no," stuttered Elliot. "N-no problem, Es-Esdeath."
"I thought so." The blue-haired girl senior sat herself down at the table. "I wanted to wait until everyone else arrived, but I'm sure you can pass on the info," she informed. "You all know a big part of being in the Jaegers dorm, don't you?" The freshmen shook their heads. "Well, a big part of being a Jaeger is school rule enforcement. If you see anyone breaking any rules, or making the AP Academy look bad, make sure you keep them in line."
"A lot of people seem nice here, though," Elliot spoke up.
"Not necessarily." Esdeath gestured toward a table where a green-haired boy and a blonde girl were playing Rock Paper Scissors for a package of Doritos. The blonde won, basking in the cheers from her dorm members, while the boy sulked in defeat. "Those trouble-makers go by Night Raid," Esdeath told the freshman. "Make sure they don't break the order here, or complain about members of authority."
"Will do, Ma'am!" Seryu exclaimed, saluting her dorm leader. "Koro and I will punish those trouble-makers! Right, buddy?" Koro barked in agreement as his owner scratched behind his ears.
Kurome stiffened as she looked at the other table. Her black eyes were fixated on a girl with black hair, like herself. Well, this girl's hair was down to her knees, and her eyes were red, not black.
"Kurome, are you alright?" Nathan asked in concerned.
"I'm fine," she replied in a cold, high voice. I'm going to do my duty as a Jaeger, Akame, she thought to herself as she stared at the girl. I don't care if you're my sister; if you start trouble, I'm taking you down.
And we end with Kurome being a b****, because... well... she is a b****. Hope you enjoyed!
