The sun was blazing as Zane ran towards the gate of Aijo High excited about his first day he had heard from Stell that she was also attending the school. It had been some time since he had saw here due to the fact that he hadn't seen her since before middle school a few years. As he approched the gate he noticed his friend from middle school leaning against the side of the gate listening to music. "HEY LEO!" he cried out.

"Huh" James lifted his head removing his headphones and sliding it around his neck.. "Yo Silver good to see ya what you in a rush for." He said while turning off his I-pod.

"Uh no reason just meeting a friend." Zane said shyly while scratching the back of his head.

"Oh Roma that girl you never stopped talking about in middle school." James gave a smirk before noticing another figure he recognized "Well if it isn't Charles."

A blonde boy the same age as the others walked up. "Silver, Leo hows it going did you guys enjoy summer."

As Rosa walked onto the campus, she couldn’t help but gawk. It was amazing here. Like a town of its own! But it was also scary. She probably wouldn’t fit it. They would make fun of her stutter… like they always did. Or they would just ignore her.

So she walked towards the school and opened up a book (Yes, while she was walking). It was a bad habit, but a productive one. At least she got to know her books better.

As she neared the school, Rosa didn’t notice the people by the gate. She was far too enthralled by the story. However, she did notice them as she crashed into one of the three.

THE SEASONS



Summer woke early as usual and did her morning routine; Jog at 6:00, wake her sisters up at 6:30, shower at 6:45, Wake her sisters again at 7:00, dressed and ready for school by 7:30. She beat on Winters door one last time before she went to recruit Autumn for help.

“Playwrite, I need some help with Rave” Summer said


“Morning to you too babe. She was out all night again?” Autumn asked with a sigh and a shake of her head. She pulled out her camera and grinned. Summer nodded.

“Bring on the water sister” Autumn said watching as Summer filled a bucket of cold water and snuck in Winters room. Unfortunately what neither expected was for Winter to jump out from behind her door and poor cold water on Summers head and dash for the safety of the bathroom. With a scream Summer turned around and sprinted after her.

“This will make a great movie…Attack of the Seasons: Disaster Strikes!” Autumn laughed and continued taping as Summer beat on the door. A muffled “no ones home” came through the door. Summer all but growled and turned around slowly, took a few steps back, then turned and ran at the door, kicking it just above the door handle. There was a ‘clink’ sound and the door opened slowly.


“Mom is SOOO gonna kill you when they get back from the Africa tour!” Winter warned as she backed up grinning. As if on cue Summers phone rang in the other room. She glowered at her sister as their mothers ring tone played through the silent house.

“Better get that” Winter taunted.

“Better be ready for me to get you!” Summer hissed and turned her back on her sister before jumping down the stairs and picking up her phone and heading to her room to change into something dry.

She put on a blue jeans, a black tank top and some weighted running shoes, the complete opposites of what her sisters where wearing. Winter wore a pair of purple skinny jeans, a yellow tank top and a bunch of belts and bracelets, wile Autumn wore a simple black turtle neck and a white mini skirt with a white burray.

“What a tight ass” Winter muttered. Autumn laughed.

“You better be careful or she’ll get you back” Autumn said ad shook her head. She was never part of the sibling rivalry, just the documenter….you know incase someone died.

“Mom said she’s gonna be a few months longer than planned, that she loves us, and to have a good day at school, speaking of we are going to be late if we don’t get going now! Im driving today, so get in!” Summer called and headed out with her sisters in tow.

They showed up at the school just in time, all of them headed in their own prospective directions: Summer to the gym, Autumn to the auditorium and Winter...anywhere she could hide out and skip class.

Etsu skipped into the school grounds, her music on full blast. 'I'll definitely request this on my next rave night.' she thought. She was humming a tune, gawping to herself about the school, when she bumped into a serious-looking boy. He muttered something with a spiteful look on his face. Etsu replied dreamily, "You're so ho....Ok~♪" The boy just snarled and walked off. She decided she would straight away try the new facilites, so she knew her way around. 'I'll go to the gym,' she thought.

Etsu started to skip down to a built-up-kinda building. She walked in and got changed. In the changing room, Etsu bumped into someone else! This time it was a athletic-looking girl with a really toned body. "Oh, sorry about that," Etsu said to the girl and then she ran off, not wanting to get into a dialouge. 'Wow, there is so many popular and sucessful people here - how will I fit in?' she thought. She depressingly got onto a treadmill and started running. Etsu could see the same girl she had bumped into earlier on another treadmill, going much faster. She blushed, looked down at her speed depressingly and decided not to come back to the gym again.

Henry woke up, "Ahh crap", he had fallen asleep at his desk again, with a manga page stuck to his cheek he sighed. It was time for school again, not his idea of fun but he had to go. After peeling the book from his face he made his way to the shower, "I may be a dork but, I don't want to stink on top of it", he thought to himself. After he showered he pulled on a plain old pair of jeans, a Dragon Ball Z shirt, and an old pair of converse. He went downstairs his parents had already left for work, they both were dentists and owned their own office.

He never really saw them even when they were home on the weekends, cause they working on the business books then. There was a note on the kitchen counter, "Henry we have several root canals today so we might be late getting home. There's some money in the cookie jar by the toaster, order you some pizza. Love Mom" ,it said. Henry sighed and found the money exactly where the note detailed. He shrugged and went to the freezer to grab his breakfast; after cramming a toaster strudel and a glass of milk down his neck, he grabbed his back pack and skate board then was out the door.

The ride to school was uneventful, he didn't have any friends so he didn't run into anyone along the way, as he pulled up to Ajio High he saw all kinds of kids going in or hanging outside. He bypassed the popular kids that hung out around all their souped up cars, in the parking lot, and headed inside. He watched a girl who seemed to be very interested in a book as she crashed into some people right in front of the door, "Ouch!", he winced.

Deciding to be nice, he went over to help the girl out; pushing his glasses up on his nose he walked over and helped her up. "You know you can always wait to read your book at the library it's pretty awesome; and easy to find a quiet place not allot of people go in there", he said with a smile. He picked up the things scattered around her and handed it to her, she was cute and seemed shy; "My names Henry, I don't think we've met before", he said with a goofy grin and rubbing the back of his head.

Zane and friends were laughing about the summer right before someone crashed straight into him. "Well would you look at that hasn't even been twenty minutes and Silver already has girls fallin for him." James laughed holding his side. "Well hate to laugh and run but I got to set up my equipment in the lounge slash nightclub." James ran off with a large case that carried his stuff.

After a few moments Zane realized a girl had fallen on him. "Uh hey .....You ok. Don't mean to be rude but your knee is jamming into my stomach." he said while wincing.

"Here let me help you." Charles offered a hand to the girl and helped her up from his fallen friend. "Now sorry but I realised I'm late to be at tha auditorium." He gave a bow as if he was on stage before running off as well.

Zane noticed a boy helping the girl pick her stuff up and say his name was Henry. "Well I have a feeling its going to get lively here."

Roma tossed in her overly-sized bed, hearing loud knocks from her door she groaned turning over to bury her head in the pillow she was never the type to get up early in the mornings unlike her brothers. She sighed finally getting up, as the maid walked in tiding up the mess Roma had left and opening the window and curtains for some light and breeze. Roma stretched stood up from her bed and jumped down like she always did, everyone in her family said she acted way too immature for her age but she was the least bothered by it, as the maid shook her head at her.

Roma passed an awkward smile at her before heading out toward the bathroom, where she must've spent more time than she intended. She stepped out with her hair falling past her shoulders straightened. She was dressed in a preppy type outfit and pulled on some heels to match with it before grabbing her items and heading out.

Unsurprisingly only her elder brother was home, she assumed her parents were out to work already and her other brother must be out to business related work as well. Roma rolled her eyes, being in a studious family really did push her to the edge since she was the only one that took no interest what-so-ever in her family's business. Grabbing her car keys, she walked outside ignoring her brother at the kitchen counter and slid into her car.

Checking the time she cursed "Oh shit.." she muttered before revving the engine and heading out. She simply couldn't wait to finally see Silver, they had spoke a few times but hadn't seen each other since the beginning of Middle school. Approaching the school, she parked her car and grabbed her items before getting out and slamming the car door behind her, like usual causing people to turn and look at her. She smirked a little before heading toward the gate looking out for Silver. She caught sight of a girl falling on him and laughed to herself before edging a bit closer "Silver!" she shouted then grabbed him helping him up before embracing him tightly. It was nice to finally see him again. She pulled away a little looking over the girl a little and the guy acting a bit shy as she sniggered to herself "Wow aren't you a catch?" she said teasingly elbowing him slightly.

Autumn stood on the empty stage, her eyes closed and her mind clear as she started running her lines for the lead in the schools first play of the year: The Phantom of the Opera. She was playing Chrisine, the poor devastated soul who was in love with both Raoul and the phantom, though she didn’t know it yet. She looked down at her lines for a moment then put on her best mystified face and began:

Christine “I remember... there was mist. Swirling mist upon a vast glassy lake... There were candles all around, and on the lake there was a boat... And in the boat, there was a man." she said, her voice much like that of an angels on stage.
[walks over to the Phantom, at his organ]
"Who was that shape in the shadows? Whose is that face in the mask?” She brushed her fingers down the face of an invisible man as instructed then pretended to tear the mask away. She paused as her male lead was supposed to fill in the phantoms lines.

‘The Phantom: [covers face] Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon! Is this what you wanted to see? Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little *viper*! Now you cannot ever be free! Damn you! Curse you!
[now sad]
The Phantom: Stranger than you dreamt it, can you even bear to look, or dare to think of me?... This lonesome gargoyle who burns in hell but secretly yearns for heaven secretly, secretly but Christine... fear can turn to love you'll learn to see to find the man behind the monster this... repulsive carcass that seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty secretly, secretly...
[crying]
The Phantom: Oh, Christine.
[Christine hands him the mask]
The Phantom: Come. We must return. Those two fools who run my theater will be missing you.’ She practically heard the words in her mind. She flipped a few pages, and began again, it was her version of impromptu, just jumping around in the story.
‘The Phantom: Wandering child, so lost, so helpless, yearning for my guidance’
.
“Christine: Angel or father? Friend of phantom? Who is it there staring?”

‘The Phantom: Have you forgotten your Angel?’

“Christine: Angel oh speak, what endless longings? Echoing this whisper.”

The Phantom: Too long you've waundered in winter. Far from my fathering gaze.

“Christine: Wildly my mind beats against you...” she whispered and paused yet again.

The Phantom: You resist...

The Phantom: I am your Angel of Music... Come to me, Angel of Music.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer put her headphones in and blasted them to fucking perfect by pink. Someone bumped into her but she barely registered it. She made her way to the gym with a smile on her face before jumping on the tread mill and putting it at supper fast. Her sisters would kill her if they knew how hard she was working herself again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter made her way to the night club-ish area of the school, her own music on Breaking Benjamin I Will Not Bow. She sang along quietly and tried to remember if she had done her homework the night before.

"Uh hey .....You ok. Don't mean to be rude but your knee is jamming into my stomach."

Rosa stumbled back, blushing. "Oh... I-I'm, I'm sorry" She moved to get up as the boy she had crashed into walked off. When another boy came up to her, she was completely caught off guard. And when he introduced himself as Henry, Rosa got up, realizing how silly she probably looked, sitting on the ground.

And well... when he mentioned the library, Rosa already liked him. Anyone who said that the library was awesome (Instead of saying it was boring like most kids) was okay in her book. She let the notion run through her head that maybe they could be friends, and quickly recalled it. Look who's getting ahead of herself, Rosa chided silently, resisting the urge to shake her head.

"I- I guess I'll ha-have- have to check it out" She looked up at him and smiled, her face getting even redder. She probably sounded like a frigging idiot. And now she looked like one too "I'm Rosa... Um, I'm kinda n-new"

Zane was surpised by another girl embracing him but it only took him a moment to realise who it was. "Stell....Stell!!" he returned the hugh tightly lifting her of the ground slightly. "Oh I can't believe it's you ... you look great."

James made his way to the lounge and began setting. "Well this place looks great can't wait to tear up some tracks in here." he flipped on his ipod listening to some techno. Bobbing his head as he plugged in his laptop.

Charles had walked into the auditorium to find a girl quoting Phantom of the Opera. "Amazing simply amazing!" he walked in clapped his hands. "You did that flawless I must say I am impressed."

Fiori stirred as she stirred to conciousness by her alarm. She slapped her hand on the sleep botton, doing nothing, and tried again. After about three hits she got frustrated and sat up unplugging the clock and chunking it aganist the lavender walls which made up her room. She sighed and blew a few pink strands of hair from her eyes and got up grabbing her clothes, which she'd set out the night before. She made her way to her bathroom, and once inside she undressed and showered quickly. She washed her hair and body and then jumped out of the shower ad dried off wrapping her hair in a towel. After drying off she began to dress, of course she put on her undergarmets, and the a white button down shirt and black pelted mini-skirt, with chain and black strips of fabric hanging from her skirt. She put thin leather belts around her waist and to finish off her one red stocking and then her favorite heeled boots. She curled her hair and put a red ribbion in her hair (same as in the picture) and then applied some eye make-up and some red lip stick.

Once finishing her day's look she exited her room and moved over to her brothers where he slept soundly. She entered quietly and the ran to his bed jumping right on him screaming out a, ''Good morning brother! Time to wake up!'' and rolling on him to wake him. He woke with mumbled curses flowing freely from his mouth. ''Good god Fi, do you have to yell at me to wake up?'' He asked and she nodded, curls bouncing. ''Yep, cuse if I did any less then I did tofay you'd still be sleeping.'' she smiled.'' Now get up, shower cuse you stink, and get ready. I'll make some breakfeast for you!'' Fiori smiled.'' I'll do all that if you DO NOT cook food.'' He said grabbing his usual red shirt, torn jeans, and belts and chains and entering the bath room.'' Well, that was rude!'' She said leaving his room and going back into her room to grab her things. Her Red back pack which had Grell sutcliff from black butler on it, Her mp3 player and song book.

She sat on the couch and waited for her brother, and listened to On My Own By Amely. She jumped when her brother hit her in the back of the head.'' Come on runt we need to go.'' He said leading her out the door. Once they got to the front doors, Fiori had about driven her brother up the wall by singing every song she played to him. even though she could sing really good, he was just irritible from being woken up. ''I'm leaving, getting away from you so I can have a smoke.'' Dagger said walking off. ''Whatever, I love you big brudder.'' she said blowing a kiss to him.

She stopped for a second and looked around, two people hugging and groups of people everywhere. She began walking around randomly and made her way into a lounge she found a blue-haired male. '' Hello.I'm Fiori!'' She smiled waving her hand happily.

Roma laughed a little as he picked her up off the ground, she wrapped her arms around his neck to keep balanced. "Someone's been working out" she said sarcastically, referring to him lifting her up. She smiled at his next comment "Well I do try.." she said maintaining the coated sarcasm in her voice. It was just nice to see him again, and surprisingly enough she managed to recognize him. "I must say you.. don't look quite bad yourself" she added on passing him one of her famous smiles before nudging him to let her down.

"Amazing simply amazing! You did that flawless I must say I am impressed."

Autumn jumped at the sudden male voice and clapping. She blushed and ducked her head with a smile.

"thank you my kind sir" she laughed and bowed deeply and theatrically.

"I'm Autumn Seasons...everyone calls me Playwrite" Autumn said with a shy smile as she stepped down away from the spotlight that had been on her.

"And you are?" she asked as she examined the boy

"Unless you have no name, and you are simply...." she paused for effect

"The phantom of the auditorium!" she said dramatically with a flourish of her arm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer stepped off the tread mill with a sigh. She wondered briefly where Noah was, then shrugged it off. She would see him some time today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Holly shi--cow! this place is EPIC!" Winter laughed as she stepped into the lounge.

"this place would be the center of the world if i had my way..." she murmured and imagined the perfect rave going on around her.

Trisha awoke to the sound of Amigo by SHINee blaring from her alarm clock. Her hand shot out from under her blanket as she searched for the snooze button. After quite a bit of time, she finally landed on the blasted contraption and it fell silent again. She slowly rolled out of bed with a large yawn. She dragged herself to her bathroom and went through her morning routine.

As she finally fixed her hair up into the usual pony-tail, she stuffed her sketchbook and sheet music into her book bag. She shouldered her bag and headed out of her aunt's apartment. It didn't take too long before the school came into view, and it took less time to head up to the door, all the while glancing down onto the pavement when she accidentally caught someone's glance. As she entered the school doors, her face was still flushed a bright red. Trisha could already tell today was going to be very long....

Zane blushed at her last remark. "Well you know if I don't take care of myself who will." he had taken care of himself for a long time since his mom died and his father became a drunk. "You have no idea how much I missed you." releasing the hug he gave another grin.

James listened to his music not realising some one had just appoarched him until he noticed a shadow. "Wow." he turned down his music and looked at the girl. "Hey there Uh I'm James whats up."

Charles laughed before giving a charming look. "But of course." he bowed slightly. "I am Charles Asher it is a pleasure to meet you... Playwrite."

Fiori Smiled sweetly.'' Whatcha' listening to James? If you don't mind me asking.'' She said moving closer to him and adjusting her bag. She pushed some hair from her eyes and tilted her head curiously.

Dagger sighed as he leaned aganist a brick wall and ran a hand through his brown hair. He pulled out a cigerette and light, he light up and took a puff, sighing again.

Nicolai Jacobson

Nicolai smiled as he removed his shades and stepped out of his convertible. He grabbed his gucci backpack and bega his journey towards the front office. Nicolai was always early on the first day of school, but today he wasn't feeling as perky as he often did. Sighing, he adjusted his outfit to make sure it ft well. He had a pair of black skinny jeans with a black and white stripped cotton shirt with a pair of knee high black boots. He wore bracelets of similar color to his outfit and had his platinum blonde hair resting softly on his shoulder. Nicolai was the guy to ask if you wanted to know something dealing with the school and life.. He knew every student at the school, all except those who recently registered. As he strutted up towards the gate of the school, he couldn't help but notice those who had gathered. Newbies, or so they were called. Nicolai stopped briefly and introduced himself. He informed them politely that if they needed to find any of the classrooms or what not, that he'd be happy to help them. After the brief introduction, he looked at his diamond watch and sighed. He had promised Noah he'd meet him soon. The first day of school was always the most eventful and being a Junior made things so much easier. He smiled as he passed different students and waved at those he knew from previous years. Silently walking throughout the campus, he finally came across a guy he found very intriguing.

"Well Well, smoking on campus?" Nicolai asked as he smiled and pulled his shades back on, "you're Dagger right? I'm Nicolai."

Noah Nicholson

As Summer began working out, Noah walked into th gym, but quietly as he knew her schedule very well. He normally dressed laid back, one wouldn't think that he was loaded just by looking at him. Although he was seemingly the complete package, he didn't believe in flashing his status and money in the face of others. Moving slowly over to Summer, he watched her run on the treadmill. When she stepped off of the treadmill, Noah wraped his arms around her and nibbled at her neck.

"Did you miss me?" He asked as the Tommy Hilfiger cologne he had on filled the area with a delightful scent.

He loved messing with Summer in the morning. Her reactions were always comical. Noah had on a tank top, black in color, loose sweat pants, and a pair of black Reebok shoes.

Summer was just reaching for a towel when Noah wrapped his arms around her and nibbled at her neck. She shuddered, delighted he had found her.

"Did you miss me?" He asked. She could only nod. She inhaled deeply as the Tommy Hilfiger cologne filled the air, and enveloped her. She turned to face him, her green eyes taking in every detail of her Man. He wore a blue tank top, jeans and a pair of black Reeboks. She grinned at him.

“Hey sexy, you know I always miss you….” She murmured and leaned in to lightly press her full lips to his.

“How was your night Honey?” She asked as she pulled back, feeling un-surprisingly happy to see him.

“Yello” Winter said, substituting her H for a Y in her hello as a girl ran past her, almost knocking her over, and practically jumped up and down to meet the boy to her left that she had conveniently not noticed upon entering the Lounge.


Autumn smiled shyly as Charles used her nick name.

“Do you have this class as well? OH! Are you my Co-Star?” She asked a bit too excitedly, hoping it was true. She was all to happy to get started on rehearsing the play.

Roma caught his blush, and only looked toward the ground smiling shyly. She looked up at his comment, knowing exactly what he was referring to, not that she really liked to touch on that topic with him. "Everything okay at home?" she asked looking slightly worried. She didn't particularly want to mention it, though she still wanted to know. Her expression changed at his last comment, as she smiled widely at him "Honestly I don't know how I've spent these years without you" she returned keeping the smile plastered on her face.

Joey stood with a basketball in front of one of the hoops in the large basketball court. Setting his foot on the middle of free throw line, he did his normal routine for this shot. Bending down low, dribbling the ball twice and then stood back up again. Taking a calming breath, he entered his shooting form and shot. *Flick.* Like always, all net. He had been doing this for hours, shooting, getting the ball, and shooting again. This was what it was like everyday during school: Morning: basketball, right after school: tennis, after a few hours of tennis: soccer, after that: running, then: football, then random sports depending on how he was feeling, and finally, his most hated sport: golf. When playing golf the ball would just sit there, mocking him, as he repeatedly missed. But to get back with his family, somehow he would have to master it.

Finally getting tired, he decided to change back into normal clothing. Going to the locker room, he took a quick shower to get rid of the sweat, and changed. Taking his duffel bag and headed towards the arcade. It was a nice place for him to relax.

Kristina wasn't suprised that when she got up she had missed her workout time. She had passed out, clothes and everything onto her bed. She hadn't even went under the covers. Next time she was asked to go to a midnight premiere of some lovesick show she would say no. That movie had put her right to sleep. Getting up slowly she stripped out of her clothes from the other night and slipped on a blue sweatshirt from her favorite band, paramore that had a huge robot on the center. Then she dug through her closet until she found a pair of black skinny jeans that had the head of a robot on the left back pocket. She put them on then some Black Aviator suglasses to hide the darkness under her eyes until she got some coffee. Slipping on some black flip flops even though she had no idea if it was cold or not outside she left her dorm and headed towards the cafe they had here. When she got there she said to the person upfront,
"One cappuchino please."
And in seconds it was ready for her. She paid for it and thanked whoever it was serving her then sat on the bench outside that was right next to the gym and drank the cappuchino, slowly letting it dawn on her that she had new classes and still hadn't even opened up her new schedule to know what they were or when they started. Oh well, they couldn't start for another hour or two.

James removed his head phones completely. "Oh just Celldweller Tragedy." he went back to messing with his laptop. "I'm setting things up for the night since I'm DJing here as a job."

Charles looked up. "Yeah I guess Co-star would be about right. I got into this school on an acting scholarship and I'm kinda in charge of the drama department." he scratched his cheek he didn't mean to sound like he was gloatting but he was afraid thats how he came off."

Zane smile faded for a second things weren't really good at home. "E-everything is fine... I'm going by my mothers grave after school....ten years today." he trailed off at the end be quickly put back on a smile "But yeah everything is good."

Roma, caught his expression and bit her lip as she looked down at the ground cursing herself for even raising the topic. She looked up at him, and listened when he mentioned visiting his mother's grave, she tried to give him an encouraging smile but it was more of an awkward and weak smile, deciding to keep quiet on the matter, in case she uttered something wrong. She listened to him go on and furrowed her eyebrows. In actual fact Roma hadn't expected things to be great as he was saying it was. "Zane.. don't even bother lying" she said, using his first name as she always did when she went serious. Roma hadn't exactly wanted to raise the subject, knowing it normally did bring the atmosphere down, she just wanted to be a good friend and ask. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to like intrude I was just asking" she quickly apologized.

Autumn

"Yeah I guess Co-star would be about right. I got into this school on an acting scholarship and I'm kinda in charge of the drama department." he scratched his cheek

Autumns eyes widened.

“Ah, monsieur! so you’re the super cool boss man I’ve heard so much about….Its a pleasure to make your acquaintance senior boss man” Autumn said with a wide smile.

Zane smiled. "It's ok really. There is nothig I can do about the problems in my family me and my brother are doing what we can to get by." after giving another smile he ruffled her hair a bit. "Besides I did some growing up since the last time you saw me.And from what I can tell so have you." Over the years he had worked hard to keep things running in his family. His older brother had gotten a decent job and is paying for Zane to go to school. "You know it would mean alot to me if you came with me to visit my mother."
