(A New School Year)

*September 8th, 1941*

*7:12 am*

*Highlands High School*

Two months had passed since summer break as Anya was walking towards the front entrance of her school with much anticipation of the coming year.

"It's been quite a long summer but I'm glad that school is back in session.." Anya had spoken to herself as she continued to walk towards the front doors before bumping into another student

which surprised the both of them as Anya fell on her butt.

"Oh, sorry! Sorry! I was just kinda standing there looking at my classes but I hope that you're okay…" The student (a young 16 year old with boyish yet girlish features with beautiful short black hair and brown eyes as they wore a beautiful french toast twofer pleated dress with a soft spoken voice) had spoken out to Anya as they picked her up in the process.

"It's okay but what's your name? It looks like we have our first class together and you're pretty new here as well" Anya had spoken to her classmate with a smile on her face as she waited for a response.

"My name is Allison. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can be friends or the best of classmates. '' Allison had spoken back to their classmate as the pair began to walk inside the school as they suddenly heard a voice calling out to them.

"Anya! Long time no see, It's been a while.." Nancy had spoken out in a tone of joy as she waved at her friend alongside Charlotte (who now had short hair) which made Anya smile.

"It's great to see you again Nancy and how was your summer? I also have someone to introduce as well" Anya had spoken out in joy as she walked over to give her friends a hug while Allison got closer to the group.

"Is that your new friend? If so then It's a pleasure to meet her" Charlotte had spoken out to the pair as she waved at Allison with a smile on her face as she heard the student beginning to speak.

"My apologies but I'm a boy but I only dress as a girl since I feel more comfortable in doing so but I hope you guys can understand…" Allison had spoken back to Charlotte and the others as the three girls nodded their heads in understandment.

"That's okay and as long as you are happy with yourself then it's no big deal to us" Anya had spoken back with a smile on her face while Charlotte and Nancy nodded their heads in agreement.

"By the way, are Emma and the others coming? It would be quite a shame if they were to miss out on the first day of school" Nancy had asked Charlotte in a tone of curiosity as she waited for her answer.

"They should be arriving anytime now but let's study in the library in the meantime, okay? We wanna get a head start on our studies" Charlotte had answered back as she and her friends proceeded to make their way towards the library and to their surprise they saw Miss Joyce at the main desk.

"It's Miss Joyce! I didn't know she was a librarian now but let's all greet her, okay?" Anya had whispered to her friends in a tone of excitement as she and the others made their way towards their former teacher.

"Why if it isn't my favorite students, It's been a while since we've last seen each other but how was summer break?" Miss Joyce had asked everyone in a happy tone of voice as she looked over to see a new face which belonged to Allison which surprised her.

"Our summer went quite well and I mostly went to Scotland during the summer for extra classes but it mostly went well in that department however we recently made a friend and their name is Allison" Nancy had answered back as she saw Allison approaching Miss Joyce with a smile on his face.

"My name is Allison. I'm new at the school so I hope to make my presence enjoyable for everyone" Allison had introduced himself as he shook hands with Miss Joyce.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well and you'll definitely love Anya and everyone else's company so make yourself feel at home and if you ever need questions or anything then don't be afraid to hit me up, okay?" Miss Joyce had advised Allison in a reassuring tone of voice as she was met with the young boy nodding his head in agreement as the four friends proceeded to sit at one of the tables.

"So, Are you two in the same classes as Anya? That would be lovely if that was the case" Allison had asked Charlotte and Nancy as he awaited his answer.

"We only have second class together this year but I'm hoping that we can all still mingle like we all did last year" Charlotte had spoken back while she let out a smile as she took out her study books so she could begin studying.

"That's quite wonderful, I hope that the friendship between you three continues to grow as well" Allison had spoken back to his new friend with a smile on his face as he looked over to see a certain girl and boy approaching them.

"Heyy, Long time no see! How was summer break? I've missed you guys so much" Carrie had spoken out in a tone of joy while Russell waved at them as the pair walked over to sit with the gang.

"Hey guys, My summer went pretty swell and It's wonderful seeing you and Russell once more but I want you both to meet a new friend of ours, His name is Allison" Anya had spoken out to her friends as she looked over at her new friend as he began to speak.

"G-Good Morning, My name is Allison, It's nice to meet you all and before anyone asks, No, I'm not a girl but rather a boy but I just feel more comfortable in presenting myself as more feminine if that makes sense to yall…" Allison had spoken out before taking a seat once more as Russell began to speak.

"The names Russell. It's quite swell meeting you and as long as you feel comfortable then it's all good to me" Russell had spoken back as he shook hands with Allison which made the latter blush.

"T-Thank you, I hope that we can be good friends…" Allison had spoken back as he and Russell became fast friends while the pair sat back down.

"All that's missing is Emma and Mai and the gang is finally here but we should study here in the meantime, okay?" Anya had advised her friends as everyone nodded their heads in agreement while everyone had taken their books out to get a head start on studying.

"This school year might just end up being fun for me…" Allison had thought to himself as he smiled to himself proceeding to study for the remainder of his freetime.
