It seemed like yesterday that Joey was just setting foot on Varron Academy's grounds for the first time. He remembered the feeling of hostility and aggression that filled its halls. He remembered the dirty looks, the constant shoulder checks, and the harassment. He even remembered how the school itself intimidated him with its large size and winding halls.
Hircine was no different.
It took mere seconds after he entered the school grounds for a couple of this school's clean-cut looking students to begin circling around him on their bikes. They joked with each other and made fun of him as if he were some sort of clown to them. "That's quite enough." Joey quickly said, reeling them into his web.
Hircine Student 1-"Oh ya hear that? That's QUITE enough he says." Hircine Student 2- "Ha! You Varron guys just crack me up." HS1- "Ya know, I think you should be on a game show or something." HS2- "You've got the vocabulary down. Why don't you go on jeopardy?" HS1- "You could, but its just too bad they don't allow people with black eyes on the show." HS2- "Oh, my mistake. Sorry Varron, I guess its just not your day."
With that, both boys jumped off their bikes and ran toward Joey. "Can't we talk about this guys?" he asked as he ran around a corner where there weren't many people that could see what would happen next.
Just as the two students rounded the corner, Joey tackled them both to the ground. He then pinned them both down with his knees as he took turns punching them both. This strategy didn't work long, however, as the two of them soon overpowered his weight on them and pushed him off. With them no longer pinned, they were now slowly getting up. This short break gave him some time to think about exactly what he was doing. 'Ok, so I'm in a new school and the first thing I do is fight with two students, that is just a brilliant plan JT, just genius.'
With this thought, Joey decided he would rather not finish the fight than finish it and get hunted down by the Hircine management. He had heard about how discipline was done around here, and he was sure that it wasn't anything he would want to be part of just yet. It was best to wait so he could at least see some other unlucky student be made an example of instead of him.
In order to finish up the fight as quickly as he could, Joey simply ran by the students as fast as he could; making his way to the front doors of the school as quickly and gracefully as possible. He knew that it was dangerous there as well, but the student dorms were just too damn far for him to run right now. Besides he needed to find out where his locker and classes were anyway.
As he walked through the halls, he was greeted by more evil eyes and hateful faces. Nobody looked familiar anymore and everybody wanted a piece of him. Taking a small slip of paper from his pocket, he read his locker number. '1370, second floor. I'm sure that asking for help will only make trouble. I better just figure it out by myself.' he thought to himself.
Despite if he got into another fight or not, this was gonna be the longest day he has had in a while.

At locker 1372, right next to 1370 just to the right of it in fact stood a pale skinned black headed young senior. She sighed softly. She had been to too many new schools and this one was no different. She hated moving and having to settle in here and as she placed her books in her locker and put the ones she would use today in her bag she rubbed her left eye. She was tired she didn't sleep well alone and after Felix had left for whatever reason it was without telling her she was forced to do just that. But she wasn't going to complain it wasn't her style.
She placed a spiral in her locker and put her lunch in the side of her bag. She had made too much but she had grown used to cooking for two. And now that it was only her she wasn't used to cooking for herself alone and so she didn't do anything else but cook the same amount only make a lunch and take it to school with her when she could. She yawned softly the blue eyed russian girl was very tired but she was going to do her best not to fall asleep in class she didn't want to make a bad impression on her first day.
But her main goal was to set up her tutoring here again and not to mention find the library which would keep her entertained. She had already signed up for the track team so that was taken care of. Though at pracice this morning they had shunned the quiet shy girl but she didn't care. She didn't need them to be all happy she was on the team. She was there to do one thing and one thing only. Run. And that was what she had done. And so the small statured blackheaded girl dressed in a red sweater that hugged her curves and a pair of blue jeans began shoving her gym bag in her locker too. These lockers.. she swore they were smaller than the ones at Varron.

Walking down the hall hearing what the other students were saying then saw J.T. Xae walked toward him and his footsteps should of alerted J.T. of his presence. He seemed like a person from Varron due what he heard. When he was walking, he stopped at the entrance to listen to the conversation.
"Hey you're from varron arent you? The name's Xae. I guess you got the welcoming from one of those hircine bastards? We gotta stick together if we wanna suceed and protect our kin. You know what I mean? Those hircine are just going to constantly beat us till we break down. Thinking we can't fight back. But there's a time and place where you need to fight back. And fight as a team."
Xae smiled at the last sentence he said then looked at J.T. waiting for a response and our comment. Xae then pulled his signature japanese candy he bought from the Kitsuwa in varron just before he transferred. Xae opened its air seal and pushed it toward J.T.
"Candy?"

"No thanks." Joey said, giving Xae an appreciative smile. He wasn't in the mood for any spirit lifting right now. He figured his bad mood would probably be to his advantage if things got worse and he needed to stand up to someone. This was no place to have a passive attitude.
"I'm J.T., and yeah I did have some trouble earlier. But I don't plan on having any more. With that said, please refrain from insulting the students when they are standing all around you."Joey then looked back at his slip of paper to remind himself of what his new locker number was. "Hey Xae, do you know where locker 1370 is?" he asked, looking back up at the former Varronian.
Before Xae could answer, a teacher seemed to appear out of nowhere with a grim look on his face. "Locker 1300 lockers are down that hall and to the right." the teacher stated with a stone cold tone to his voice, making it clear that he didn't want them at this school. "Ok, thank you sir." Joey answered, trying to show respect despite the teacher's failed act of intimidation. With a small huff, the teacher brushed past the two and disappeared in the crowd.
"Alright Xae, I've gotta go to my locker real quick. You can come if you want, but you better make sure that your ready to get to class before the bell rings. I don't think either of us feel like seeing what happens to the late students here, especially for us."
Joey then walked past Xae and headed in the direction that the teacher had pointed out. Sure enough, the 1300 lockers were all in the direction that he was given and he soon found 1370 among them. With no lock yet on it, he lightly lifted the handle to open it. Upon opening it, dozens of papers fell out of his locker. Reading a few of them, he found that they all said 'LEAVE HERE NOW OR YOU WILL REGRET IT' in what he hoped was red paint. "I can't believe this." Joey muttered, crushing the papers he was holding. Looking around, he found that everyone around him had stopped walking and was now giving him an evil stare. Not that they weren't before, but now they were going out of their way to do it. "I wonder how long it took you guys to make all these." he said loudly, trying to look into the eyes of every Hircine student around him. Hearing his reaction, the students figured that their joke wasn't quite as funny as they anticipated and began walking again. As they walked by, Joey caught a glimpse of a small group of guys with big smiles on their faces. He knew it was them. Even with their faces in his mind, however, he still decided it wasn't the time for confrontation.
Spotting a nearby janitor's waste bin, he rolled it over to his locker and began piling the papers into it. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of a familiar face two lockers away, at least familiar in the sense that he had seen her before in his life. Looking up at her, he smiled and gave her a look that told her how annoyed he was at all of the Hircine students. He knew who this girl was. She used to be serious with Felix, who Joey only knew as a temporary enemy of the Hand of Fate. He didn't care, though. Kvist had yet to contact him since his arrival in San Fransisco and he was happy to see any Varronian at this point.
"Are you having as much fun as I am?" he asked her, taking the last of the papers from his locker and shoving them into the trash bin.

Raven looked over when a huge rush of papers falling caught her hearing. She looked at the boy she couldn't remember seeing him before it was probably because they had never met. Unless he had known Felix then he wouldn't know her either. She blushed softly as he looked up at her and asked her if she was having as much fun as she was. She chuckled softly as Felix had helped her out of her shell quite a bit and she sat her messenger bag down closing her locker she moved over to him.
"It's lovely here." she said with a shy smile but she was kidding she hoped he knew that. "Kidding of course."
Her thick Russian accent took on more strongly when she was nervous like now. It was ridden in her voice and she blushed softly being this close to a guy. She began to help him get thos papers into the trash bin too trying to help his morning go a bit more smoothely than it was at the moment.
"My name is Raven. What is yours? I don't believe we've met." she said as she took the last of the paper from his locker and placed it in the trash bins. She wasn't a very strong girl and she was very shy. The boys across the hall were already sizing her up as a target. So shy and innocent that accent .. well it was hot they could rough her up a bit.
She held out her pale delicate hand to him incase he wanted to shake it since they did that a lot in this country. She blushed softly as she dropped her eyes from his embarrassed for talking to him. She was probably making him think she was weird or something.

Xae recgonized the woman and raised an eye brow. Xae thought to himself,"Wow she came over here too eh? And damn is she beautiful." Xae smiled and got away from J.T.'s locker and came towards her and looked at J.T. before looking back at her.
"Hey Raven. Beautiful as ever."
Xae smiled and put his hand out waiting for her to shake his then elbowed J.T. to put his hand to Raven's as well. Xae waited for Raven to have another hand for him for it would be rude to take the hand for J.T. Xae smiled with his eyes close like ^_^ as he faced Raven.
Xae then realized someone was missing. A person that accompanied Raven usually.
"Hey um...Raven where's your boyfriend, the really long hair guy. Or guyfriend I don't know, I heard from some guy he was your boyfriend but yeah where he at??"

(OOC- Where he at?)
Joey smiled at Raven's joke and thanked her for her help. "Hey Raven, I'm J.T. Your Felix's girl right?" he said as he shook her hand softly, his large hands looking gigantic compared to hers.
Just then Xae walked over and complimented Raven on how she was looking that day. "Good you two know each other. Hey what class do you guys have first period?" he asked.
He didn't feel like walking the halls alone again. Not that he was necessarily scared, he just wasn't in the mood for this today and having company would probably help him get through the day without throwing someone out a window.

JT looked up at her and she blushed softly. But soon he seemed to know just who she was. Not only that but he called her 'Felix's girl'. She quickly bit her lower lip and froze. Obvious pain in her eyes as she looked away for a moment. It seemed all she did anymore was cry since she had moved here. But Felix's disappearance hurt her more than anyone could tell or would know by just looking at him. She swallowed the lump in her throat and she looked back over at him.
"Was." she said in nearly a whisper. "He left some time ago. I haven't heard from him since." she continued in her whisper.
Soon she realized and recognized Xae. She nodded softly to him. He called her beautiful and that made her blush again of course. She nodded softly but said nothing until he brought up her 'boyfriend' and 'long hair'. He must have meant Lesta it was the only person she could think of she spent time with that was Lesta.
"Oh you mean Lesta? Ohh.. he wasn't my boyfriend just a good friend. He was helping through a.. hard time." she said softly meaning Felix. But Lesta hadn't come either and so she was completely alone again. Felix left. Lesta had gone elsewhere and now she was here in a new school all alone. Without anyone that she had known before. JT called her attention back to him and she looked over at him with those blue eyes.
"First class is Math. Calculus. You?" she asked softly as she blushed looking up at him but she didn't say anything else she was just a naturally shy girl.

Xae felt left out being younger than both Raven and J.T. since he will have no classes with them. Xae frowned and looked down with no sense of happiness. But then looked at Raven who he noticed blushes alot. Xae smiled since now he can tease her with something.
"That accent along with that blushing is really cute y'know. And his name is Lesta? Well your good friends could become the person you need in your life. Like Namika..."
Xae stopped talking and grabbed his locket before shedding a tear then wiped it to look at Raven and J.t. Xae was kinda wierded out he couldn't hang out with them except in the halls.
"Well it sucks alot since I can't hang out with ya since your both older. Only in the halls like we are right now. "
Xae started to sulk but then he took a look at the gorgeous miss raven. Xae smiled then realized he has his friend J.T. next to him too. So it wasn't all that bad.
"So what do you wanna do now? Class is starting soon I think so, theres not much we can do before class starts except stay alive and together so those Hircine asses.""

Joey quickly noticed Raven's discomfort toward the mention of Felix and decided to let go of the topic right away.
"Calculus? So I suppose that makes you a senior. I'm still in pre-cal since I'm a Junior. I'm sure we have at least one class together though. Can I see your schedule?"
Joey then looked over at Xae as he began to tear up at the mention of a person named Namika. "Umm, are you alright?" he asked, feeling slightly awkward as he looked at both of his new friends' depressed faces.
A few seconds later, Xae answered by perking up at the sight of Raven just after complaining about how he couldn't hang out with the two of them because of his age.
"Well there isn't much to do right now seeing as class is about to start, but after school if you two want to hang out than you can find me right here."
Joey then began feeling a few extra stares in his direction. "Xae, you seriously need to stop with this insulting Hircine students crap."

Raven liked that they got to change the subject. She really didn't want to talk about Felix he was still a very sore subject for her. She sighed softly as she looked at Xae and she smiled as she pulled a homemade brownie out of her lunch bag and gave it to him. Placing it in his hand gently with a soft blush and a smile and she pulled out one more for JT and placed it in his hand too.
"Chocolate. Sometimes it makes a bad day seem a bit better." she said with a shrug playing it off a bit. "Made them just yesterday, I hope you like them."
JT asked to see her schedule and she pulled it out for him quickly she was indeed hopeing they would have a class together because that would be nice to not already know someone but to be albe to talk to JT again. She handed the schedule to him ((Just pick a class they have together I don't mind, whatever it is)) And she smiled. It was then he mentioned to Xae we shouldn't talk poorly of the Hircine students and Raven nodded.
"They'll never accept us if we too are prejudiced. I think we have to start somewhere and being nice.. and being polite seems like a good place to start." she told him with a soft smile.

Xae took a bite of the brownie then his eyes widened. In Xae's thoughts "OMG THESE ARE THE BEST BROWNIES IN THE WHOLE GODDAMN WORLD O.O!!! NO FREAKIN WAY HOW THE HELL CAN SHE COULD MAKE THESE!!! OH GOD NO WAAAY!!"Xae looked at Raven and gave her a big hug expressing great gratitude.
"These are the best brownies in the whole damn world!!!!"
Xae kept hugging her for a few moment then started chewing more of the brownie. Xae then smiled at her being so happy. He hasn't eaten anything delicious in a long long long time. Xae took a bite after bite and was amazed how delicious they were. Xae looked at Raven and added.
"You would make the best wife in the whole freakin world!"
Xae finished his brownies and put a "That was a kick ass brownie" expression his face then licked his lips. He still had to savor the flavor of that brownie. It made him forget about his sadness and how he has the greatest friends so he won't be sad. All the time.
"I tried being nice to a few of them, almost got jumped. Wasn't that pretty. But I made a friend too. so I guess it isn't bad."

Joey was looking through Raven's schedule as she handed the two of them a brownie. He still wasn't in the mood for sweets, but he wanted to be courteous and so he accepted it.
Just as he noticed that he and Raven shared the same 6th period Physics class, Xae began acting undeniably strange over Raven's brownies. "Are they that good?" he asked jokingly, first looking over to see Raven's reaction to this outburst then looking down at the uneaten brownie in his hand.
'He could just have some sort of emotion controlling problem.' he thought to himself, remembering Xae's tear at the mention of Namika which was followed by an immediate mood switch at the sight of Raven's smile.
He figured his presumption was correct as Xae once again regained his cool and began talking as if nothing happened.
Deciding to forget about it, Joey told Raven about their Science class together. He personally disliked Physics, but it was better than his other Science choice which was Marine Biology. There was something about slicing an octopus in half that just made him queasy, no matter how much he saw as a Hand of Fate member.

Raven's eyes opened wide as suddenly Xae sompletely shifted gears on her. Once he was saddened and tearful. The next moment he was as happy as ever and exclaiming upon just how good her brownies were. Then he suddenly hugged her and she stiffened and turned a bright bright red. She didn't say anything but she was too shocked to hug him back as well. She didn't know what else to do honestly she had definatly not expected to be hugged.
Soon though he moved away saying she would be the best wife ever and she blushed deeper. Sure she wished that she could be a wife but she didn't expect to hear that in school of all places. It was then that JT asked if they were that good or not and she smiled softly looking over at him.
"I don't think so. I mean.. they're just normal brownies. I didn't make them out of a box. I made them myself but.. I don't know." she said.
Then he told her that they had physics together and her eyes lit up a bit as she took her schedule back from him. She put it back away.
"Great, I can't wait til then. I'll save you a seat if I get there first. It'll be nice to sit next to someone I know already." she said with a smile. "So how are you both settling in here?" she asked.

Joey listened to Raven's modest explanation for her brownies with an interested look on his face. Looking once again at the brownie in his hand, he decided to eat it now so that he could give her the proper praise if they really were as good as Xae made it seem.
He brought the brownie to his mouth and took a bite just as Raven expressed her excitement toward their class together. Immediately his tongue was barraged by the sweetest taste he had experienced in a long time. This was the sort of thing people write poems about.
Joey looked up at Raven with wide eyes and (after making sure there was no chocolate in his teeth)gave her a large smile. " Did you always know you had this talent? Because this is the best thing I have eaten in years."
He then handed the rest of the brownie to Xae before looking back at Raven. "Ya know, I saw a bakery in the city. If you make bread and cake as well as you do brownies, I'm sure you would be a shoe-in as a baker there."

Xae replied to Ravens,"So how are you both settling here?" by saying.
"Great. I got the best brownies in the world from one of the most beautiful girls at school and I got a friend like J.T."
Xae gave J.T. a big pat on the back and laughed being so lucky.
"You two are really what cheer me up you know. If it weren't for you, I'd be some wierd guy who was always depressed and sad. But now I don't have to be. Or ever again. The beautiful miss Raven and you J.T."
Xae was smiling and cheerful before starting to pick his teeth to get some of the brownie. Xae really enjoyed the brownies like crazy. They we're insanely delicious. Xae then realized Raven was blushing alot.
"Raven keeping blushing. It makes you really really cute."
Xae added in a smile. He really liked how cute raven was. He kept on the compliments to tease her and to get her comfortable. That's just how good of a friend he was. Xae yawned before looking at his watch which was missing.
"uh....What time is it ?"

Raven's eyes lit up when JT mentioned there was a bakery close by that she might be able to work at. She thought about it and wondered if they would really hire her. She was so shy and everything but it would be the perfect opportunity to make money for herself and even enable her to get even better and baking because she was much better at cooking than baking but it was a definate start.
"Honestly? I would love it. I'm much better at cooking than baking and a place like that could really teach me something and I could make money while doing what I love. Would you show me later, after school? Or at least draw me a map?" she asked.
Then Xae spoke up saying he was fitting in rather well especially with JT and Raven around. She smiled softly as they three headed down the halls. But then he mentioned her blushing which only gave her another blush and then he called her beautiful again which made the blush deeper than before. He asked what time it was and she looked at her wrist out of habit. But she didn't wear a watch these days.
"No, I don't. I really don't wear a watch anymore." she said only her braclet with her name in Russian was on her wrist.

Xae still enjoyed Raven's blushing. It made her really cute which he couldn't resist once so ever. So he noticed the bracelet. He had no idea what it said but still it was a nice bracelet. Xae could comment somethin to raven about that. And with that thought, Xae smiled at Raven.
"That bracelet is almost beautiful as you, you know that Raven?"
Xae had a hunch that'd make her blush and hope it would. It was just cute how she continousally blushes. So after he said "That bracelet is almost beautiful as you," he went next to Raven and put his arm around her pulling her close toward him.
"Us three should go to the mall or something sometime, it'd be fun. Don't worry Raven, I'll buy you stuff too alright :-)"
Xae looked into Raven's eyes with a smile hoping she'd accept his invitation to the mall and hope J.T. would too. They would have a lot of fun if they did go to the mall. Xae probaly would only buy what Raven whats just for the sake that she thinks she's really cute in the sense and well J.T.'s a guy so he wasn't gonna buy him anything unless in a joking way. Like a girly doll for J.T. Xae hasn't talked to many girls lately except Raven who he adores.

Joey forced a smile as Xae told him what a good friend he was. He wasn't sure exactly how Xae came up with the idea that they were such good friends. After all, they had just met. And it wasn't like he had done anything especially helpful for Xae during this short meeting.
Letting his confusion go, he watched Xae pull Raven toward him and announce plans to go to the mall. Joey didn't yet have plans after school, but he was sort of looking forward to chilling out with his new roommates. He was mostly interested in hanging out with Raven anyway and he was already seeing her sixth period, not to mention him bringing her to the bakery later.
"Sorry, Xae. But I've got stuff to do later. Maybe tomorrow, though." he answered with a slight look of regret. He then looked over to Raven when Xae wasn't looking and nodded toward him, effectively asking her what she thought of him.

Raven walked down the hall with the two guys one on each side of her. For some reason she was a bit more comfortable with JT than with Xae even though she had only just met JT today. Perhaps it was just that Xae was a bit more.. enthusiastic than she was used to. Xae then brought up her bracelet and she looked down at it. She smiled softly as she touched her bracelet before sliding it back under her long sleeve shirt.
"Thanks." she said with a blush. Suddenly he put her arm around her and pulled her close. She blushed deeply and she moved back away from him shyly.
She really didn't know Xae well enough to warrent his arm around her. And not just that but it was kinda weird as she wasn't sure what it meant. And then he asked if they wanted to go to the mall with him and that he would buy her things. She wasn't sure why on earth he wanted to buy her things. She would be okay. She didn't need that kind of help. She would be just fine.
"Well today I have plans. I am hoping to go to the bakery with JT to see about that job. So today isn't a good day besides you wouldn't need to buy me anything." she said softly.
She looked at JT and blushed... differently for him than she did for Xae. She looked at him and when Xae wasn't looking he seemed to ask her a silent question which made her smile. She didn't smile often but she did now. She looked at him and shrugged her shoulders. Tapping her wrist as if she had a watch on to tell him that she would tell him later. Perhaps in physics. Then she could do it better. They could talk about it together and get to know each other better.
"JT, where should I meet you after school?" she asked softly looking over at him. Trying to strike up a conversation with him and she wondered just where everyone's classes were. Hers was a bit of a ways off but she was in so real hurry she would get there on time.
