Hi there, this is my first FanFic ever and I had time to publish it, so I was like 'why not?' Anyway, just read the story and be honest on how you like it/hate it. I don't care if it's hate or love as long as it's honest. Also, I wasn't sure on what to pick for the genres so I just picked friendship and hurt/comfort since I'm a newbie with this kind of thing. If have a better suggestion, be my guest.

"Come on, we're gonna be late if you don't hurry up!" A boy yells out up the stairs before leaning back on the wall. This boy has fire red hair and an eyepatch over his left eye making his appearance mysterious, but if you looked into his emerald eyes, you would see flashes of playfulness.

"Just a minute!" Another voice yelled out. A second later, a smaller boy comes rushing down the steps. This one has snow white hair and a strange mark running down his left eye. A pentacle starts the mark on top of his eyebrow and the end of it stops at the bottom of his cheek in a lightning bolt fashion. He rushes out the door with the redhead following close behind.

"Cross not home?" The taller teen asks while watching the other fumble a bit with his keys.

"No, he had to leave for work earlier, already said 'bye.'" He nods in understanding and points towards a sleek, black car parked on the street. "We better hurry before Yu gets mad at us." He smiles while saying this, as if he wants Yu to get mad. Just at that moment an angry car horn rang annoyingly through the air.

"Allen, Lavi, come on! We can't be late for our first day!" A girl with short greenish-blackish hair yelled out the window of the car.

"Sorry Lenalady! We're comin'!" Lavi and Allen rush towards the back of the car and get in. They drive off before the doors even close all the way. "Man, I'm so bummed that summer's already over! It seems like just yesterday that Yu was driving us away from that prison for teens and children everywhere!"

"Shut the fuck up, Usagi, it's too early to deal with you!" The teen driving the car, Yu, has long black hair, but at a closer look, you would see the hair to be of a navy blue colour. The hair reaches to his waist and is almost always in a ponytail.

"Lenaleeeeee! Yu-chan's bein' mean to me!" Lenalee and Allen laugh a little while Kanda mentally debates if he can crash the car without hurting Lenalee and him too much. He decides that no, he cannot unfortunately and continues driving and curses 'usagis' and 'moyashis' under his breath.

"So, Allen," Lenalee turns in her seat to face Allen who was previously picking at the hem of his gloves that everyone thought he wore just for the heck of it. "Are you nervous for your first day at Black Order High?"

"A little, yes, but I'm used to going to new schools so the feeling's not as bad as it used to be when I was younger." He answers truthfully. The other three had met Allen during the summer when he had just moved in and it would seem like they knew each other their whole lives. Allen and his guardian, whom he calls Cross, tend to move a lot because of Cross' job, so he's used to what it comes with being the new kid. They soon arrive at the school and are surprisingly earlier than planned. They shuffle inside and heads towards the main office so Allen could talk with the president, who just happens to be Lenalee's big brother known as Komui Lee.

"He'll be with you in a moment guys, he's got someone in there right now, so just go wait over there." Reever, Komui's assistant and friend, pointed to a small area in the office with chairs and a small coffee table in the middle. The three boys go to the designated area while Lenalee stays back to talk to Reever about something school-wise. Since her brother is more of a figurehead when it came to small things with the school, she took the responsibility of helping him so he wouldn't get into trouble. A few minutes later, they were allowed to enter Komui's office, which just looks like a storage room with all the papers everywhere.

"Lenaleeee~! I missed yooouuuuu~!" Immediately, Lenalee gets stuck with a Komui-leech on her leg, crying about how she always hangs out with nasty octupi and never pays attention to him anymore. After calming her brother down, by kicking him a few times, Lenalee pulled Allen forward.

"Nii-san, this is Allen, he's my new friend I told you about?" Komui studies him for a second before his eyes filled with recognition.

"Ah, yes! I know you, Cross talks about you all the time and can I say, I love your influence on him! Ever since he took you in, his whole lifestyle has changed from womanizing, drinking, and gambling to a caring, sober, father-figure!" Komui exclaimed while shaking Allen's hand with much energy. Allen smiles politely, albeit a little concerned for the extreme mood swings this man seems to have.

"It's nice to meet you sir, Lenalee has said much about you." Before Komui could go off on how wonderful and nice his little sister is, Lavi interrupts him.

"Um, Komui, we kind of have to go to our classes soon, so if you could wrap this up, that'd be great." Komui pouts a little, but nonetheless goes to his desk and pulls a few papers from the top of a tower that seems it might fall any second.

"Fine, here is your schedule Allen and I made sure that at least one of your friends are in there, so you shouldn't have any problems." He smiles and hands Allen the paper, "Also, I would like to talk to you for a moment. Lenalee, make sure you stay behind so that you can help Allen to your first period class~!" The three friends leave and Allen takes a seat on the couch in front of Komui's desk. Komui leans on the front of it instead of actually sitting in the chair and Allen's becoming a bit more wary about the looming tower of papers Komui almost knocked over by leaning back. Outside the room, Lavi and Lenalee could be seen pressing their ears flat against the door, on their knees, whereas Kanda stands above them and has his hand cupped around his ear against the cold wood.

"Damn it, it's like this door is sound proof or somethin'. I can't hear anything!" Lenalee shushes Lavi and continues trying to listen to her brother's and new friend's conversation. Ever since they had met the strange white-haired boy, they had become curious as to what his life is like. At first, they didn't really care, but as they started hanging with him more, they noticed that he would always avoid conversations and topics that were personal. Sure, they knew his favorite food, his parents died when he was young and his current guardian is a man who worked with the Army, and they know everything about his personality. But nothing about his real parents, his past experiences, nothing. They had become slightly annoyed by this and they set it as their mission to find out more of their new, precious friend.

"So, Allen, Cross has already talked to me about your 'situation' so you don't have to worry about that. He told me just the things I needed to be aware of, nothing too personal." He reassured the teen with the last sentence after noticng a slight panicked expression emerging. Allen sighed in relief, knowing that Cross had kept it to a need-to-know basis with him. No one needs to know fully what happened to him in the last few years and the real truth as to why Cross and him moved here in the first place. "If you have any problems, just talk to your counslor, or me. She is aware too, but she knows what I know, so you don't have to worry. Cross also told me that sometimes you have… 'relapses.' Would you mind in being a little more detailed as to what happens? I need to know in order to be prepared for if it ever happens while you're at school." Allen nods his head then sighs.

"My mind fills up with what happened back then and I'll just go blank. It'll feel like I'm reliving it and after it gets too much, I'll pass out." Allen laughs a little and Komui notices that it sounds a little hollow, "It hasn't happened in a while though, so I should be good for a little longer."

'Just how much has this kid gone through…?' Komui looks over the notes he'd just written for Allen's 'relapses.' 'I feel so bad for him; I couldn't even imagine my Precious Lenalee going through anything close to what Cross has told me…' He shuffles his papers against the desk and sits down in his chair before smiling towards Allen. "Thank you for telling me this; I can't imagine how hard it is on you." Allen smiles back and reassures the man that it's okay. "Well, Allen, welcome to Black Order High and I hope some of your best years are here~!" He dismisses Allen and he leaves with his schedule and backpack in hand.

"Oh crap!" Lavi whisper-yells before running out of the office with Kanda close behind. Just as they are out of sight, Allen opens the door to see Lenalee on her knees in front of the ground.

"Are you okay…?" Allen hesitantly asks while reaching his gloved hand forward for her to take. She smiles with a red tint on her cheeks.

"Haha, yeah, I'm good. Come on, let's get to class!" Lenalee took off running, dragging Allen before he had a chance to ask what she was doing. 'That was close…' Lenalee mentally sighed in relief before slowing down some for Allen. "So, are you any good at art, or you just taking it for an easy-pass?" They start walking up the stairs and there are students filling the hallways by now.

"Actually, I love art. I want to become an artist one day and I have always been complicated on my work. I have a really good eye when it comes to art." Allen notices a few people staring at him and people whispering, but Lenalee doesn't. Allen pulls up his grey hoodie and continues to follow Lenalee, already used to being talked about. Lenalee raises an eyebrow about his actions, but says nothing about it.

"Really? That's great! Then you're going to love our art teacher. He's also Kanda's adoptive father, but shhh," She puts a finger up to her lips, "Don't tell him I told you." Allen laughs and follows Lenalee into the art class. It already has a few students in since most of them don't get here until a second before the bell. The few that are here glance over at the two before returning to their own conversations. "Mr. Tiedoll, I want you to meet a new student and a new friend of ours." Allen figures she means her, Kanda, and Lavi when she says 'ours.' An elderly looking man comes out of the back room and comes towards us. He wears glasses and his hair is gray. He has stubble for a beard and along the sides of his face, but has an actual mustache. He's gentle and caring, as if everything he handled would break with one wrong move.

"Ah, so you're Allen Walker? It's nice to meet you, how has Cross been? I heard he's doing better ever since he took you in." Allen takes his hand and notices that it's firm, but gentle. He has a feeling that he's going to like this man.

"He's been doing well, thank you for asking. Is it true that you're Kanda's adoptive father?" An even bigger smile breaks out on his face and he starts going on a rant on 'how much he loves Yu even though he's mean to him.'

"Anyway, welcome to advanced art and Black Order High. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Lenelee here." Allen nods and thanks the older man before heading to the back of the room with Lenalee.

"Hey Lenalee, do we get lockers or do we always carry our bags?" Allen shuffles through the bag before pulling out a sketchbook and mechanical pencil.

"Yeah, but not until later this week after everything's settled." She pulls out her own sketch pad and pencil and places her messenger bag on the table. "May I look?" She points at Allen's book with a slight puppy-dog face. Allen hesitates for a moment before giving it to her. She beams at Allen before turning the page. "Oh my God, Allen, this is great!" A slight heat rose to Allen's cheeks at the praise.

"Thank you, Lenalee." She continues to compliment on his pictures until she finishes the few pages that were actually drawn, each appraisal made Allen's cheeks just a bit redder. "Heh, you would think that with all the compliments I get, I would be used to it by now." Lenalee laughs a little before handing the notebook back.

"Really, Allen, those are amazing. I wish I could draw at least half that well." After 1st period had finished they went their separate ways, thankfully, Allen's next class, civics, isn't that far from the art room and he has no problem getting there. When he walks in, he sees Lavi and gets greeted by him and the teacher. His first day of school went by really fast and, before he knew it, he was walking back home. Everyone else had to stay at the school since they were either the president of some club, Lavi and Kanda, or had to help their brother with fliers for school, Lenalee. 'Today was great' I hope it'll stay like this for a while before everything becomes hectic again.' Allen thinks while walking down the sidewalk with his hoodie up. He had to pull it off in 2nd period and got some smart ass comments about it, but that was before Lavi sent them a few glares. 'At least I have friends at this school and it's not like the other ones.' Allen continued in silence, deep in thought, to his house.

I'm using my school and schedule as a reference for anything related to it. What better way than experience? Hope you like it, I've wanted to write on FanFiction for quite a while now and I finally had a chance to. Cross will come up in the next chapter by the way, if you were wondering. I have quite a few ideas for FanFiction and hopefully I'll get them all on here. So yeah, review please~!
