Sarah looked mentally scarred as she joined me near the lockers. "Jesus, Tobio's the math teacher!"

I blinked at her. "So you do have the same teacher."

She scratched her cheek. "Yeah, I suppose, but also what about first period math class?"

I shrugged, then recieved a flick in the back of the head - a little tradition we all have. 

"You'll be surprised at who the LA teacher is."Una said with a omewhat straight face. "Whose's the math teacher?"

"Not telling if you don't tell us."Sarah and I said at the same time.

Una rolled her eyes good naturally as she turned her lock. "If ya say so. Oh, by the way, Luko got a sword thrown at him during LA.I'll see ya at lunch, then?"

"A what...?"

Sarah nodded quickly, then her eyes lit up. "Hey, it's our first class together!"She said, poking him in the shoulder.

"Does homeroom count?"I said with a straight face. 

"No."

"You're too blunt."I complained, popping my head out of my locker.

"And you're too idiotic and dimwitted sometimes, Tess."Sarah and Una said at the same time.

My expression must've looked between a sad one and a crazy grin, because Una cracked a smile as Sarah clamped a hand over her mouth, trying to stop her laughter from coming through.

"Tess, before you accidentally slam your locker on your hand -"

Bang.

"OW!"

"What did I expect?"Una sighed, Sarah once again trying to muffle her laugh as she glanced at my red hand.

"Let's just get to class before you do anymore damage to yourself, kay?"Sarah mumbled, slamming my locker as she checked that I had my notebooks, and waved goodbye to Una as she grabbed me by the collar, dragging me to LA class.

"Bye, Un-ACK SARAH LEGGO OF ME -"

Una merely smiled as she disappeared into Tobio's class.

"Okay, we're there,"I gasped fo breath, "Now...let go...of me!"

"Hey Tess - Why is someone choking you?"Isaac asked, arching an eyebrow as Sarah.

The black-haired  girl finally let go of me, looking between Isaac and I. "Do you guys know each other?"

Isaac scratched the back of his neck. "Kinda?"

I picked myself up from the floor. "Sarah, meet Isaac. Isaac, meet Sarah. Ta-da, problem solved!"

"Was there ever a problem?"Sarah asked as Isaac chuckled. 

"Sorry about her, she's a straight-forward type."I informed him, while Sarah flicked the back of my head.

"SHUDDUP!"

Isaac merely laughed again. "I like you two."

I finally took a seat, poking myself in the cheek with my blue pen. 

"Tess, you have a blue mark on your cheek."

"I wouldn't have guessed. Totally not drawing on my cheek here, Sarah."

"YO!"Someone yelled, crashing into the room. Well, stumbling really. "Everyone here? Yes? No? Maybe? Well, who cares!"

Sarah squinted. "Is...that...King?"

"His name is King?"Isaac echoed, confused. 

The blue-haired Greek straighted up before he smashed head-first into the teacher's desk. "Yep, King at your service."

"Your name is really -"

I poked him to stop Isaac from forming the question. 

King frowned, guessing what he was about the ask, his hand scretching for a helmet on the floor as his eye twitched. 

"Yes, my name is King. One of the kids eariler asked that, and he got, "He heaved the helmet, "this thrown at him."

Sarah blinked(Again). "I thought it was a sword."

King shrugged, his blue eyes twinkling. "So, uh,"He scratched the back of his head. "I'mma assume that everyone is here, y'know, first day of school."

Someone a few seats away from me raised a hand. I remembered Mirka from last class. "Mr. King -"She seemed to be containing laughter as she said so.

"Just King."

"King, are we allowed to rock back in our chairs."

"Yeah, go ahead!"The Variares Greek blader waved it away. "Again, I'mma assume you guys got some papers from the other three, two teachers, so, nah, I'll skip on passing that out-"

Isaac and Mirka grinned, doing a quick high-five. Apparently they already knew each other.

"So, yeah, just look around, y'know?"He paused, "Just don't touch my swords, kay?"

Isaac raised a hand, and King nodded to him. 

"Do you have a full suit of armor we could look at?"

King jutted his chin towards the closet. "Know yourself out."

"Oh, MAN, cool!"Isaac exclaimed, pushing himself up as he wandered over to the closet.

As Isaac wandered away, the whole class got up and started chatting, buzzing. "I heard the Science teacher is really harsh!"

"TESS! SARAH!"Someone literaly flung themselves at them.

I saw a flash of pink smoldering my vison, and I guessed who it was.

"Pratina!"Sarah said, overjoyed, as she returned the hug.

"So it is you, Pink lady!'I poked Pratina in the shoulder.

I had know Pratina in my fifth grade year, which, was also the year with Abhas. She was a writer like Una, Sarah, and I were, but she wrote with the people of our class. Recently, at my request, she wrote a murder mustery, and since I requested it, it was called the Tess story. Y'know?

Pratina was the pink lady. Her black wavy hair was adorned with pink bows, her clothing full of magenta buttons and a pink sweater with a pink and white shirt underneath. Guess what color her pants, nails, bracelets, earrings, the pencil stuck in her sweater pocket, and shoes were?

Pink.

So, yeah, she took pink seriously. She wasn't lying when she said it was her favorite color.

"How are ya guys?"Pratina asked, tossing her hair behind her shoulder. "And, Tess, why do you have a red mark around you neck? Write anymore death stories?"

"Sarah choked me, and yes."

Pratina smiled. "I love how you guys can say things so casually."

Sarah released a bark of laughter. "Yeah! That's us!"

King looked at us as Pratina laughed herself, a high-pitched giggle.

"Heee-ey, so, how's life?"Pratina asked.

"New school, new teachers, new friends."Sarah shrugged. "New Tess?"

"Eh?"

"She's more stupid and sarcastic."

"I"M RIGHT HERE YA KNOW!"

A blonde appeared next to me. "Hey, keep it down will ya?"Mirka asked,  untying the bandana around her wrist, then grinned. "Although, I do like being loud!"

Sarah snorted. "Then you'll make great friends with Tess."

Mirka extended a hand towards me. "Have we met before?"

"Uh, math class...?"

"Oh, right! I'm Mirka!"

"I'm Tess. That's Sarah, and that's Pratina."

Mirka grinned again, picking up a random helmet off the floor. "Nice to meet ya."She tried it on, her voice ringing inside it. "Who would've expected this?"

"Eh?"Sarah and I said at the same time.

Mirka's tone went more serious. "I know you know about the bladers."

My reaction was "STALKER!"but Sarah clamped a hand over my mouth before I can utter a word.

"That's great,"She said quickly, "We'll talk about it later."

PRatina just stood there, confused. 

At that time,  the bell rang.

"Go to lunch,"King yawned, "Off ya go!"

There was a clang as Isaac stumbled out of the closet, and we were off to lunch!

I heard there was lunch monitors.

Hey! No one guessed King(At least, not on their first three. Someone got it on their fourth, though.

So. There's two lunch monitors. They both only appear in Fusion, although the smaller one appears in Shogun Steel. There's your hint.

And yes, Pratina is a person on here. She's one of my closest friends. 

Hope you enjoyed,
