*BEEP*BEEP*WHAM*

A young white haired boy smacked down the snooze on his alarm.

"Gah, school already?" the boy groaned.

He slowly sat up in his bed and stretched.

Summer vacation was over along with the late night booze, bikini wearing girls, and mornings filled with sleep.

He wasn't sure which of those options he missed the most.

"Haru breakfast is ready!" a female voice echoed from downstairs.

"'Kay! Be down in a moment sis!"

Haru was seventeen and this was going to be his senior year of highschool. People always said senior year was the best year of your teenage life but Haru couldn't help thinking that highschool was crap, no matter what year you're in.

Haru searched the room for a pair of jeans and mentally cursed his remarkable talent for not putting things were they belong.

Once he found his pants he slipped into a clean white shirt and a not so clean black coat. Haru had white shaggy hair that was just long enough to go past his pierced ears and although his sister persisted that he get a haircut, he never once truly considered it.

Once dressed, Haru leaped downstairs, eager to get to his breakfast.

"Hey Kat. You working tonight?" Haru said, starting to munch on his eggs.

Kat was Haru's older sister and in her day, the most popular girl in GarageHigh.

didn't have to wonder why either. Her silky raven hair, sculpted body, and illuminating brown eyes were enough to make any guy go weak in the knees.

"Yeah, I'm gonna take the late night shift." She grabbed Haru's plate presuming he was done, although Haru could have argued he wasn't.

"You're going to overwork yourself. I have a job now. You don't need to take those late shifts anymore." Haru said as he struggled to get his boots on.

"We need the money Haru and you know it." Kat's face was filled with determination and Haru decided it would be unwise to argue any futher.

"Alright, alright," he squeaked, "I was just trying to help."

"I know," Kat gave a smile, "I didn't mean to snap."

"No big deal. Hey, what time is it?" Haru cocked his head to the side as he tried to make out the red letters on the clock from his distant position on the couch.

"It's eight." Kat said glancing at the stove timer.

"Oh shit! I'm late!" Haru sprang up and dashed out the front door.

"Goodbye to you too." Kat mumbled and began cleaning off the table.

----------------------------------------------------------

*DING*

The obnoxious school bell rang signaling the tired teens on campus it was time for their brains to become a sponge-like substance suitable for aliens to drink in a stew.

"I hate that sound." Musica groaned.

He was a boy the same age as Haru although Musica was slightly taller. He had three piercings on his left eyebrow and spikey black hair. He had quite the reputation with girls at school and was known as a womanizer.

"Well you should get used to it. Where's Haru anyway?" Elie raised a brow. Elie was also seventeen and considerably the hottest girl in school, although not the most popular.

She had short brown hair with bangs that graced her face. She had a voluptuous body that she quite frequently showed off.

She almost always wore a miniskirt, though the color and style varied. Today it was blue jean. She also wore a long sleeved, form-fitting, black v-neck along with her heart necklace and boots. "I have no idea. Late, no doubt. I wouldn't blame him. I mean we all got a little too drunk last night. Remember? Well I guess you wouldn't," Musica gave an evil cackle; "you started dancing on the table. Then you fell down and everyone saw up your sk-"

Musica's story was cut short by a livid Elie and her harder-than-expected fist.

"Asshole!" Elie's face was burning red.

"Ow! Damn Elie! That hurt!" Musica rubbed his jaw.

"Good!" Elie spat a stormed down the school corridors. She entered her new English class and took a seat next her good friend Julia.

"Hey girl! Why do you look so pissed?" Julia, like Elie, had a body that few could top. She had long wavy blonde hair that fell around her face. Her deep voice and uncanny ability to kick anybodies ass (be it boy or girl) intimidated all the guys in the school, except her boyfriend Let. "It's nothing. Just Musica being an ass but what else is new," Julia rolled her eyes in agreement, "So how was Hawaii?" Elie and Julia chatted away even as the teacher began giving the class rules and requirements which ironically included no talking.

Only the door busting open could bring their very important conversation of how hot the guys in Hawaii were to a stop.

Haru walked into the classroom out of breath and a little sweaty.

"Well look who decided to join us," Ms. Kay almost sang out. "Oh please no need to rush. After all your time is much more important than mine Mr. erh," the middle-aged woman shuffled through her clipboard to find the page which contained all the students names and their pictures that matched. "Ah yes, Glory. Mr. Haru Glory."

Haru looked at Ms. Kay a little uneasily and took a seat behind Elie.

"Since you feel that wasting my time is a suitable way to use yours you can stay after school today in my class for detention."

"But don't I at least get a warning?? It's only the first day and-" Haru started to plea but quickly closed his mouth when Ms. Kay shot him a glare of death.

Haru sank in his seat and Ms. Kay continued to talk about what was expected of her students. Elie turned in her seat to face Haru. "Sooo, how's it going?" she said with a giggle, knowing full well how "it" was going.

"Oh shut up." Haru groaned crossing his arms.

"Now, now Haru that's no way to talk to your best friend." Elie said waving a finger in Haru's face.

"Hmph." Was the only response she received and just as she was about to pat Haru's head she felt a tap on her shoulder.

Elie twirled around to see Ms. Kay glaring down at her. "Since you enjoy talking to Mr. Glory so much you too may stay after school for detention Ms.-" Ms. Kay began looking at her clipboard again but was interrupted when she heard the young girl say, "Elie."

"Yes Ms. Elie." The woman repeated and went back to talking.

Elie slumped down in her desk and Haru gave her a smug grin.

"Oh shut up." Was all she could say.

----------------------------------------------------

The first half of the day went by fairly quick and soon the bell rang for lunch.

"I never want to hear the word geometry again!" Elie threw her arms in the air with exasperation.

"I never want to hear the word biology again." Haru said rubbing his head.

"This is a horrible day! And I have to stay after school! Gah!" Elie flung herself on Haru, "Save me!" She squealed.

"Only if you save me by letting go of my neck!" Haru said in a choked voice.

Elie quickly let go of Haru and ran up to Julia who was sitting with Let.

"Save me!" Elie said clinging to both Let and Julia.

"Hrm? From what?" Julia asked curiously.

"From staying in detention with this evil fiend!" Elie squeaked, pointing to Haru.

"And just how am I evil??" Haru questioned taking a seat across from Let.

"Because you made Ms. Kay hate me! Oh how could such a thing happen! To be cursed with a fate like this!" Elie waved her arms in the air like no tomorrow and was just about to continue complaining when Musica showed up and sat next to Haru.

"Hey, what's all the commotion about." He said eyeing down one of Let's fries.

"Apparently I'm evil." Haru said, mouthful of pizza.

"Uh-huh." Musica grunted inattentively and reached a hand out to grab one of Let's fries but was smacked upside the head before he could reach it.

"Get your own food." Let almost growled.

Let was well respected at the school mostly because he respected everybody. Let had spiked bleach hair and wore a hoodie and black pants. His somewhat raspy voice and large muscles were enough to intimidate all the girls in school except his girlfriend, Julia.

"Aw c'mon Let! Just one fry?? One teensy-" Musica's pleads were cut short by an irritated Let and his response, "No."

"Hmph," Muica crossed his arms in defeat, "well anyway I came to ask you guys if you had heard about the party on Friday."

"Not yet, details dude." Julia said motioning Musica to continue.

"Well it's being thrown by some new girl-"

"Probably wants to make a good first impression." Let said finishing off the last of his fries to which Musica gave an almost unnoticeable whimper.

"Yeah," Haru agreed.

"Well nevermind that!" Musica said waving his hands, "Her parents are outta town and everyone says she's LOADED. Which as we all know means-"

"Free alcohol!" Elie jumped in the air with a squeal.

"Sounds fun," Julia said laughing at Elie's excitement.

"Maybe you should steer clear of the booze," Haru suggested looking at Elie.

"And why's that?" Elie retorted.

Haru took a gulp, he knew he'd have to choose his words very carefully.

"Well it's just that…" Haru gulped again.

"It's just that-what?" Elie asked impatiently.

"Well when you drink you have a habit of drinking too much. Like last week at Levy's party when you danced on the tables and then fell. Everybody kinda saw up your sk-"

*WHAM*

Haru's sentence was cut short by Elie's fist.

"I'll drink when I wanna drink! Got it?" Elie sounded furious and Haru had no choice but to nod his head to avoid another punch.

"C'mon Julia, let's go to to the bathroom." Elie stormed off dragging Julia along the way.

Once in the bathroom Elie felt free to vent.

"How dare he! That Haru makes me so mad! He can't tell me what I should and shouldn't do!" Elie crossed her arms and sank down on the floor in fury.

Julia looked at her friend with sympathy.

Elie reminded her of herself and how she could be a little too stubborn.

"Don't be too mad Elie," Julia said sliding down beside the brunette, "Haru only wants to help. He cares about you." Julia stroked Elie's hair and Elie nodded saying, "I guess you're right. Haru does only want what's best for me."

*DING*

The bell rang signaling for lunch to end. "I suppose I'll forgive him." Elie sat up and gave Julia a smile.

----------------------------------------------

The second half of the school day went by a little slower than the first and when the bell finally rang for the students to leave everyone dashed out with new found excitement.

Everyone that is, except Haru and Elie.

"It's not so bad." Julia said trying to cheer Elie up, "A half an hour goes by fast!"

Elie was not comforted.

Suddenly Let showed up and put an arm around Julia's shoulder, "Hey, you ready to go?" He said motioning to the door.

"Yeah. Call me later Elie, 'kay?" Julia said waving.

"'Kay." Elie replied solemnly. Elie slowly made her way to the English department and stopped in front of her class.

She sighed and opened the door.

Haru was already in a desk messing with his pen and Ms. Kay was busy grading papers.

"Glad to see you made it." Ms. Kay said nonchalantly.

Elie sat next to Haru and got to work on chipping her pink nails (a nervous habit she had picked up somewhere).

There was a minute or two of silence and then-

*BLING*

Suddenly the phone rang causing Haru to jump and Elie to give a small squeal to which Haru chuckled.

"Hello English department, Ms. Kay speaking." Ms. Kay answered, "Yes, mhm, yes. Alright, I'll be down in a moment."

Ms. Kay hung up the phone with a click and sat up.

"I'm going down to the office for a very important matter and I expect you two to behave when I'm gone. I will return shortly." She opened the door and exited the room.

"Well at least now we can talk." Haru said turning to Elie who immediately stopped chipping her nails.

"Haru," she said in a somewhat small voice, "I'm sorry for punching you earlier, you were just trying to give me good advice and I wasn't listening."

Elie's brown eyes were staring straight into Haru's gray ones and for seemingly strange reason Haru couldn't speak.

But that only lasted a moment.

"Nah, I understand," He said, sounding a little flustered.

What was wrong with him? It was just Elie, he really needed to get a grip.

"So we're cool?" Elie questioned.

"Of course," Haru replied with a smile.

"So do you wanna go to that party?" Elie asked curiously. "Yeah, sounds like a good time. Plus Musica said the girl is loaded so it'll probably be a nice house. You know like a celebrity."

Haru threw his hands in the air to signify how big the house would likely be.

Elie laughed.

The two continued their conversation with the occasional squeal from Elie and laugh from Haru. They continued until Ms. Kay returned and told them they could go home.

Once outside of the class they began their chatter again.

"No, no, no Haru!" Elie shouted with disgust, "If aliens were real they wouldn't care about conquering Mars! It's all about earth. Earth is the life sustaining planet, the one with intelligent beings! What does Mars have? A bunch of red sand and rocks."

"Yes but think about it," Haru said waving a finger to Elie, "Mars USE to be a life sustaining planet and aliens could probably return it to normal if they wanted to. But I don't think aliens are concerned with whether or not a planet can sustain life. It's all about the size."

"That's what she said." Elie giggled.

"Wow." Haru rolled his eyes at his friend while she just smiled.

They reached the school parking lot where Haru asked, "Hey, you wanna ride home?"

"Sure." Elie said and ran up to Haru's car calling shotgun, despite Haru's argument that nobody was there to take shotgun away from her.

Haru got in and started up the car which immediately began blasting Led Zeppelin causing both Haru and Elie to jump.

"Oops," Haru grinned turning down the music, "I forgot I left on the radio."

"Uh-huh." Elie rolled her eyes and they were off.

They drove out of the school and down the road until a neighborhood came into view.

They passed house upon house until reaching Elie's.

Haru put on the brakes and Elie hopped out.

"Wanna come inside for a bit?" Elie asked leaning down to the car window.

"Sure but I can't stay too long." Haru replied turning off the gas.

Elie walked up to her house and pulled out a key from her pocket.

She opened the door and dropped her backpack on the living room couch.

Elie's house was a one story and relatively small.

It had three bedrooms, a master and two other small ones.

Elie lived with her brother Jed, who had allowed her to have the master room.

Elie and Haru walked inside. Elie's room was filled with posters of rock bands.

Despite her appearance Elie was quite the music junkie.

Elie, like Haru, had no parents.

Haru's parents had died in a car accident when he was three and he had lived with his aunt until his sister was old enough to take care of both of them.

Elie's story was a bit more tragic.

Elie had lost her parents when she was nine to a shooting.

Her parents had taken Elie and her brother Jed to go see a movie.

Elie's mother had searched her wallet and found that she needed to stop by an ATM to get some cash.

Elie's father had got out with her mother to retrieve the money when a man with a gun came up to them.

Elie and her brother, who was only thirteen, watched helplessly as the man shot both their parents, grabbed the money and ran.

Elie was forever haunted by the sight of her parents lying on the floor, covered in blood.

She had never told anybody the real story of her past except Haru.

That night she had cried her heart out and Haru had stroked her hair for comfort.

They had been close before that but Elie revealing the truth of her past had created a bond between her and Haru that she had with no one else.

"Where's Jed?" Haru asked once in Elie's room.

He felt a little uneasy about Jed.

Jed was very protective of Elie and was careful of who she hungout with.

Musica wasn't even allowed to step one foot in the house when Jed was there.

And although Jed didn't hate Haru, he didn't trust him either.

Haru always felt an uncomfortable tension when Jed was around.

"At work. He's taking the late night shifts now." Elie said sitting on her bed.

Haru felt relieved, "Kat's been doing the same thing."

"Oh. Hey can you help me with my Geometry homework?" Elie said as sweetly as possible while holding a large textbook to Haru's face.

"I see how it is. You're only friends with me for Geometry!" Haru shouted pointing a finger. "Pretty please, with a cherry on top??" Elie pleaded pursing her lips.

"Seducing me isn't going to work, you user." Haru retorted backing away a little.

"Please?" Elie persisted inching closer.

"Hey! I said that doesn't work!" Haru said turning a little red.

Elie abruptly looped her arms around Haru's neck causing him (and her) to fall off the bed. "Gah! Elie! Look what you've done!" Haru yelped in pain.

Elie just flashed an innocent smile while Haru glared.

Suddenly her door flew open and Jed stood at the entrance.

"What the hell is going on here!?" He roared in fury and it was at this moment that Elie noticed her legs were a bit tangled with Haru's and how wrong the scenario looked altogether.

Haru noticed it too and turned a deep shade of red while Elie scrambled to get off of him. "HARU!" Jed roared again and before he knew it Haru had dashed out of the room and the house.

"See you tomorrow!" Elie yelled after him.

Haru gave a quick wave and drove off.

"Jed why are you home so early?" Elie pried.

"I'm on my lunch break. Just what the hell were you two doing?" Jed asked a bit gentler then before.

"Homework," Elie said and went into her room.

"Homework, huh?" Jed repeated and rolled his eyes.

AN: Chapter one is finished! I don't know how happy I am with it:/ I'll hopefully make it better has the story progresses. Please review! Criticism is welcome as long as it's constructional criticism and not people being just flat out rude. I hope everyone has enjoyed the first chapter
