Alright, without further ado;
Winry Rockbell stood in front of her mirror. She wanted to check her appearance one last time, before she left the house. She put her blonde, long hair into a high pony-tail, so that the tunnel on her left ear showed up. Moreover, she wore light blue, high waisted shorts, a floral-printed top and an oversized waistcoat with her sleeves rolled up. She didn't wear a lot of make-up; the eyeliner which she wore almost daily by now, mascara and some powder.
She wasn't sure if this would become a good day for her. She hoped that she would make a good impression on everyone and that she would find new friends.
At least she hadn't changed to Central High in the middle of a school year. She actually had the luck to start her Junior Year there. Nevertheless, this complete town was new for her. I guess, many kids already knew eachother. They all live here for a long time, she thought.
She stared at herself for a while in the mirror, until she noted that she should hurry up.
Quick she put on her shoes and threw her backpack over her shoulder.
When she arrived at School, she already noticed that there was a big crowd in front of a monitor. She went over to it, curious why there were so many people. She noticed that on the monitor you could see the plan for every class. She searched for her name and found it quickly. 1-2 was her class and 503 her classroom. Alright, she thought.
She arrived at the classroom, the door already standing wide open. Most students where already there and had already taken their seats. The teachers wasn't there yet. She worried about who she would sit next to, she didn't know anyone. Now she stood there, searching for a place to sit. In the back of the room there was a free table, so she went over and sat down. And then she waited, and watched all the students who already build groups. Suddenly, another student came into the class. He had short, blonde hear and golden eyes. He went over to her and smiled.
"You're sitting alone?" he asked.
"Well, um.. I.."
"Can I sit next to you?" he asked and smiled at her again.
"S-Sure." Somehow she sounded shier than she normally did.
The boy sat down and put his bag on the floor. Then he turned to Winry again and introduced himself.
"My name's Alphonse." he said. "But you can call me Al."
"Winry", she said and smiled at him for the first time.
"You don't know anyone here, do you?" he asked.
"No, not really. I moved to Central a couple of weeks ago."
"Thought so. Never seen you before here." he said.
"Well, then I'm gonna introduce you to some people." he said with a grin. He grabed her wrist and pulled her over to one of the groups of people in the class. He poked a girl on the back and she turned around. She was pretty small, nearly one head smaller than Winry and she had long, black hair.
"Hey Mei!" he greeted her.
"Al!" she replied happily. Then her gaze moved to Winry.
"That's Winry." Alphonse said. "She's new in Central and doesn't know anyone yet."
"Oh! Well, I'm Mei." she said smiling.
They talked pretty long, till Mei asked "and where exactly do you come from?"
"Oh, I'm from Resembool. It's pretty far from here.." Winry replied.
"I see.. I'm sure it's pretty hard to live in a big city when you're from the countryside. Why did you move to Central anyways?"
"Well.. um.. Its.. actually I.."
In that moment the teacher entered the room. Mei looked over to him and then looked at Winry again. "He's there. We'll talk later, ok?" she said happily.
"Sure." Winry smiled. Then everyone went over to their seats and sat down. Winry and Alphonse went to their table in the back of the class. In front of Winry there sat Mei. Good that she's so small. I can see the board perfectly, Winry thought.
Winry was surprised that she actually became friends with Alphonse. She's normally really bad at making friends but Alphonse was very obliging and nice to her. He cared for her and helped her get to know some of the students. Winry didn't know Mei for long but she could tell that she was a really quiet and shy girl. But that's what made her so adorable. Also, Winry was suspecting Alphonse and Mei to like each other a little, but she wasn't going to butt in to those kind of things. However, she thought the two would be incredibly cute together.
It was lunchtime by now and Alphonse offered Winry to eat with Mei and him. So she accepted. When they arrived in the Cafeteria everyone took a tablet and a plate with two slices of pizza on it. Winry followed Alphonse and Mei, looking around the Cafeteria. It was a large room with a lot of tables where mostly 10 to 15 people were sitting at. She could tell that every table was for a certain kind of group of people. They probably were sitting at the exact tables everyday.
There were the nerds, that were still sitting on their math homework while eating. Then there were people sitting on a table that were completely dressed in black. Their hair was completely colorfull. Next to them, the cheerleaderteam of the school, still in their uniforms, showing instagram pictures to each others on their iPhones and laughing about them. Behind them, the table of the football team players, wearing their team jackets. Pretty normal, she thought. Things you would see on every highschool, right? But one of the tables was kind of different. She didn't know why, but she was kind of afraid of one of the tables. There were seven kids sitting on it, also completely dressed in black. They had all dark hair and looked very much alike, like siblings. One of them had long, black hair. She had a lot of make-up on; black eyeliner and red lipstick. She showed much cleavage and you could see a strange tattoo. All of them looked kind of dangerous. Not the people you would want to be around with.
When Winry turned her head, she saw another table. It was round and the people were... She couldn't really classify those people like she did with all the other ones. Everyone of them looked different. The people in the other groups all looked the same. Either they wore the same clothes or they did the same thing. But this was just a Chaos. Everyone was talking and laughing with everyone. Somehow she got the wish to sit there. As she was coming closer and closer to the table she noticed that Alphonse and Mei had stopped in front of it. They both sat down at the table and Winry just stood there and stared at them. When Alphonse said she should eat with him and Mei she thought at was only him and Mei. She was unsure if she could really just sit on this tabe with a lot of people who didn't even know her.
"Who's your new friend there, Alphonse?" some guy sitting on the table said. He had dark blonde hair and a cigarette in his mouth. He was grinning at Winry.
"I'm Winry." she said, before Alphonse did, and smiled. She thought it was weird that Alphonse would always be the one saying her name.
"Don't be shy, you can sit with us." some girl said. She had blond hair and kind of looked like Winry. She was pointing at the seat between her and Alphonse. She smiled at her and Winry smiled back at her. Then he sat down between the girl and Alphonse. Then she looked around, wanting to get an image of everyone sitting on this table.
"Why don't you tell us something about yourself?" said a guy with long, black hair wich he wore in a little bun on the back of his head. He was sitting on the opposite side of the table.
"Well, um..-" Winry stuttered because of his sudden question.
"Don't be so rude!" the blonde girl next to her said. "We should first intordruce ourselves before she tells us anything about herself."
"Right, sorry, sorry." the boy said, rubbing the back of his head nervously. Then he grinned at Winry. "I'm Ling." She could tell that he really was in high spirits. She just had to grin back at him. Then Ling layed his Arm around the girl next to him, who turned completely red after that.
"And that's Lan Fan." he said grinning again.
"H-Hello.." she said shyly, looking at the ground to hide her blushing cheeks. Somehow she looked a little like Mei.
Then the guy with the cigarette turned to Winry.
"I'm Havoc." he said. "But.. you can also call me Jean.." he said flirtatiously. The girl next to him then poked him in the rip with her ellbow, making everyone laugh. Even Winry had to laugh a little. The girl then took of her glasses and said her name was Sheska. She looked really pretty, Winry thought. She wasn't wearing any make-up, but she didn't need to. Her glasses were black and really nerdy, but kind of cute. She a short, straight, brown hair.
Then a guy with black short hair and beard leaned over the table so Winry could see him better.
"I'm Hughes" he said grinning. Then he grabed the hand of the girl next to him. "And this is my fantastic girlfriend gracia!" he said cheerfully. Gracia then started to laugh and kindly said "Hey, nice to meet you." The guy sitting next to Hughes then turned to Winry. He also had shirt black hair. "I'm Roy" he said. Winry looked to the blonde girl next to her, curious of how her name was. She was sitting next to Roy and Winry could see them hold hand under the table.
"My name is Riza." she said kindly.
So, Winry went all the names through in her head one more time. There was Ling. Next to him was Lan Fan and next to her there was Mei. Then Alphonse, and then herself. Next to her there was Riza, then Roy, Hughes, Gracia, Sheska, Havoc and then..
She looked at the boy sitting between Havoc and Ling. She didn't even notice him before. He was keeping his head down, his hair covering his face. He didn't say anything this whole time and now she was wondering if he even noticed that she, a complete stranger, was sitting at his table. Did he even look at her once?
Everyone noticed Winry looking at the boy very confused. Ling was about to hit him on the head so he could stop being so rude and introduce himself, but then he suddenly looked up. He looked at Winry and the first thing that she was were golden eyes looking at her blue ones. She felt like she couldn't look away. She had never seen such eyes before, except for Al's. But these were a little different, she couldn't really tell why, they just were. And he too just started at her.
"It's your turn, Ed." Ling said after some time. He looked confused.
"With what?" the boy with the golden eyes asked still not knowing what was going on. Everyone started laughing.
"Man, Ed. You're never paying attention, are you?" Havoc then said jokingly.
"The girl in front of you is Winry. She's new and we're all introducing ourselves to her." Riza said.
"Your turn." Mei said cheerfully.
He then turned his gaze to Winry and stared at her for a while.
"I'm Edward." he said very monotone and then got up. He took the bag that was hanging on his chair and left. Winry was looking after him and didn't know what she should think about him.
