Felicity Jones's Story

Matthew and Felicity were riding on the bus from their aunt's house with Mira somewhere on the crowded bus. Of course, Matt picked the outside seat. He wanted to protect his sister, he couldn't let what happened to him happen to his sister. It was almost insane, the teasing he went through at his old school. All Matt wanted was to protect his sister, Felicity, from the bitter truth. That he would need to pay millions of dollars to get his face replaced. And he couldn't let that happen to his sister.

Felicity was writing in her notebook, on the other hand. She was oblivious to the world around her, like a child. Every so often, she would look out the window, but other than that, she was writing in her notebook she got from her from her parents before the twins left the USA. Matt had gotten a notebook as well, he only kept it in his suitcase, never taking it out except for today, when he put it in his backpack for note-taking. She had a feeling he was mad at their parents, but she didn't talk to him about it. She didn't want to make her brother mad at her.

Mira was a student from Finland. The twins didn't know much about her.

Kimi sits in the back of the bus, alone, as per her usual routine. It is the first day of high school for her. She wouldn't be going far, however, the middle school she attended is right next to her high school and she has been in the building many a time for some of her clubs and lunch periods. She fiddles nervously with the bow on the front of her uniform as she gazes out the window at the passing buildings and cars. Fixing her pink sweater, she stands as the bus comes to a stop. She exits the bus quietly and looks at a piece of paper she is holding which tells her the locker number and combination that is hers. She heads to the lockers and removes her shoes, putting on her school approved ones and sliding the others into the box. She also places her lunch bag into the box and closes it.
"First class is homeroom...room 103...guess I'd better go there then..." she quietly says to herself. As she begins to walk to her class, she gets bumped into by an upperclassman.
"Watch it, freak!" he yells as he continues to run down the hall.

Akihiko decides today he would jog to school. He needed to get his stamina up if he was going to do all the sports he was needed in this year. The coaches had asked him to join other sports teams because of his success in the ones he had participated in last year. This was great and all, and he couldn't say no, not with he scholarships on the line, but when would he have time for a social life. That was important in his high school life. This year, however, was the most important year. Junior year is when all the tests happen that will determine your graduation GPA and if you even get any scholarships. In any case, he ran off his worries as he started his journey to school.

When he arrived, Akihiko was greeted by the waves and voices of underclassmen girls.
"Oh! Good morning Aki-senpai!"
"Aki-senpai's here! He looks so cute!"
"I wonder if he has a girlfriend! Oh I wish I could be her!"
This was normal for him. Due to his success in sports, he was quite popular with the girls in school, mostly the underclassmen, as then looked up to him. Truth was, he didn't have a girlfriend, nor did he really want one, he didn't have the time. He continued on into the locker area of the school putting his shoes in the locker, switching them with his school shoes.
"Do I have time to run to the locker room for a shower?" he thought to himself. He shrugged closing his locker and began briskly walking to the locker room. There were 15 minutes until homeroom and he knew where he was going. He had time. On his walk, he heard a boy yelling behind him.
"Watch it, freak!" He then felt a bump on his shoulder. The boy turned to him.
"Get out of my-" the boy's eyes grew wide, "O-oh! Akihiko-senpai! S-Sorry I didn't know that was you! Oh man! Please forgive me! I'm so s-sorry![/b]" The boy bows frantically as if he just scratched the shoes of a superstar. Akihiko puts his hands in his pockets.
"S'fine. Just don't go blaming other people when it's you causing the trouble..." Akihiko entered the locker room, hearing the boy's reply from behind him.
"Y-Yes, senpai! Sorry, senpai!"
Akihiko hops into the shower to wash off the sweat from his morning jog/run before he heads to class.

It was her first day as an exchange student. Mira was sitting on a bus on her way to Sorugami highschool and she just tried to stay awake. In Finland her school days hadn't started this early. In fact normally she would wake up at this time. But new school, new schedule.

Mira was rather nervous even though she looked pretty confident. She wasn't sure if she could find the right classes. She was used to a small, two-floor highschool with less than 200 students. Another thing that worried Mira was friends. She wasn't very social person. But she didn't want to be alone whole year. There was two students from the same school in her host family. Siblings Matthew and Felicity. They hadn't talked much but Mira hoped she could rely on them if she needed help. Mira glanced over where they sat. She couldn't see Felicity from her spot but Matt looked a bit worried about something. She put my headphones on and started listening music.

It didn't take long until the bus stopped at school. Mira walked to a school yard paging trough dozens of papers she had had. First she had to find homeroom. "I have too many papers. Can't even find the number of the class" she muttered herself.

Felicity and Matt got off the bus, and looked at their schedule. Soon enough, they had found their homeroom. Felicity said, "216.It appears this is our homeroom." Matt said nothing and walked in, his twin following behind him. Almost everyone stared at Matt for his burned face.

Appearently, the bell had already rung, as the teacher chewed them out for being late, then asked their names. "Matt is my name." Matt said, rather irritated for getting chewed out. "Hello, I'm Felicity and our last name is Jones." Felicity introduced herself politely. They both took seats next to each other.

Two blond twins came in. It was a rarity for Ling to see people who weren't Asian. Probably they were from North America.
She was listening to them introducing themselves in front of the class. However, the boy's burned mark dragged Ling's attention. It would be innapropriate to aks him about it, but this powerful curiosity started burning the black haired girl from the inside. She really wanted to know what was the story behind this. Was it an accident? Was it abuse? What was it? If Ling asked him almost immediately after they meet, she would probably lose him as a future friend. She didn't want this to happen with anyone, ever, especially on her first day. She had to find a way to control herself.

As she was trying to supress her curiosity, she was looking around the other students. She was wondering what each of them would be like. She started imagining different things.

Maybe Kaito was popular around the ladies because he attended many sports? Maybe Akihiko was fascinated by music and wanted to start a band? Probably Felicity and Matthew were exchange students from another country?

Later her imagination reached another level, as she started imagining Kutaki fighting aliens in order to save the love of her life, who was Felicity. Maybe Akihiko and Kaito were enemies, who would start fencing to death after the classes. And for God's sake, what was the story behind Matthew's mark?

Kaito ceased to pay attention as the teacher began to talk about rules and regulations of the school. Instead he began to chat with Hayato.

"Well, I'm doing great Katio."

"What did you even do? That is, other than just messing around."

"Well I..." Hayato took a moment to think.

"That's what I thought, knowing you, that's all you'd do when you get free time." Hayato shrugged and took a look around the classroom.

"Who do you think looks cute?"

"I don't know, why do you wanna know?"

"Oh? You like one of the guys then?" Kaito rolled his eyes and took a look at the girls in the classroom.

"Maybe that one." he said pointing to the Chinese girl. Hayato began laughing silently.

"Hey, maybe I should let her know?"

"Don't"

"Hey!" Hayato whispered at the girl. "Chinese girl! Hey!" Kaito grabbed his arm.

"I swear, if you continue, I'm gonna start calling you bird boy again. Remember how well that name stuck in middle school?" Hayato deflated in defeat.

"Fine"

"Now..." Kaito contunued. "...what class do you have next?"

"Did someone whisper to me?" Ling thought. "Eh, just my imagination.

Now that the class ended, I should go for the Computers... Should I sign this as one of the clubs?"

"That's right... The class ended..." The girl thought. "Maybe I should make some friends right now! Waiting till lunch and finding a place next to people would be too easy and I can't wait to meet someone now! Let's start with the black haired girl over there!" Ling was about to approach Mira, who ran away.

"Eh?... Okay, okay. I'll probably meet her again later. Let's try out with those guys over there!" She was about to approach Kaito and Hayato.
"HiiiiaaAAH!" The girl managed to trip and fall right when they went out of the room. Making friends can be a hard work even for an extrovert like Ling.
"Shoot, I've lost them in the hallway's crowd!" She went to the hallway for a moment and came back to the room again."I need to be faster!" She thought. "At least one classmate at a period! Come on, Ling, you can do it!"

The girl suddenly went crazy when she grabbed the American twins' hands and dragged them next to Akihiko and Ayumi. "You and you! Matthew and Felicity, Right? I'm Ling, nice to meet you! You and you! What are your names?"

"Yep, those are our names." Felicity nodded happily. "But," She pointed to Matthew, "You can call him Matt. He prefers it over Matthew." Matthew nodded, he wasn't good at talking. Especially to the opposite gender. And people older than him. Add his scar to the mix, and you would get a very introverted boy.

Matt spoke up, and said, "Pleasure to meet you, Ling." He held his hand out for a handshake. Felicity was surprised at this, maybe her brother would make some friends after all. "What class do you have after this?" Matt asked. "I am taking theater as an elective, and Felicity is taking sewing."

"I apologize for our lateness!" Felicity apologized as she rushed into the classroom, her brother silently behind her. Matt felt all eyes on his scar, and he sighed as he looked at the ground. This year was going to be long. He heard his sister saying, "I'm Felicity, and this is my brother, Mathew, Matt for short." And after that, the teacher told them to sit down on opposite sides of the room, so they did. Matt was a little nervous as he couldn't protect his sister from spitballs. He got out his notebook and began writing poetry in it, while Felicity took notes.

Matt made his way to the writing and poetry class. a tad worried about his sister. After all, sewing required needles, and needles meant you might get hurt. But he sat down and began to write a few poems. Ideas were flowing from him, and placing themselves on paper it seemed.

Meanwhile, Felicity made her way to sewing and sat down at an empty desk. She hoped there would be more students, but so far no one came. She began to get out her embroidery and start sewing again.

There weren't enough students in either class to keep up the classes, so Matt and Felicity were moved to theater. They met up at the door to the class room, and the teacher told them to work together after filling them in on what had happened. They began speaking to each other and came up with a humor play, one that they considered funny. Matt was hesitant at first, but began to write the script on a piece of notebook paper, while Felicity told him what to write.
