"Well Mike." Luke said. "Here we are, almost done of senior year!"

"I'm sure it will turn out to be better then last year." Mike said as they walked into the doors.

"At least you've got a date to prom last year." Luke grumbled.

"Hey, listen bro there is always dances you could meet someone at." Mike pointed out.

"No girl is going to like me. I am too mature, too skinny... too much of a nerd." Luke complained.

"Hey don't say those things about yourself. Your smart, own it. Be yourself and you will find a girl who likes you for who you are." Mike said.

"Yeah be yourself.... if only myself was was girls liked." Luke sighed as the bell rang. Time for class.

Nathaniel walked down the hallways of his new school, he was so excited for all the fun things he was going to learn here. There was so many possibilities too. Plus he was right at that age of maturity where he was still cute but mature enough for girls to be all over him.

He also believed he was the cutest in his family. That and his family was rich, so what girl wouldn't be into that.

"Ames!" Nathaniel smiled at his older brother at their shared locker.

"Hey little bro." Azun smiled. He had black hair with long bangs. He was quite tall too, and wicked smart in the art of debating. "You ready for the first day?"

"Absolutely!" Nathaniel said, brushing his own brown hair back a bit with his fingers. "Think I will meet a girl?"

"I bet you will. Your so popular too. Remember you and Xavier have a bunch of classes together; so you two will be unstoppable." Azun chuckled. "Think you can convince my girl to stop being mad at me?"

"Rebecca won't stay mad at you for long. She was just upset you didn't want to go with here camping." Nathaniel said

"Well camping is so gross and dirty!" Azun complained

"She just wanted to spend time with you. But her a book or something she likes... maybe let her make out with you or something." Nathaniel shrugged. "Or send her a pic without your shirt."

"Hey! You should not have those thoughts yet." Azun snapped at Nathaniel. "Now get to class."

"Are you going to the dance?" Nathaniel asked

"No." Azun said. "You have fun."

"Bye Azun." Nathaniel said as he kept walking onward.

"Larkin!" Ames ran to his girlfriend's arms. "I missed you so much!"

"Hey! Calm down." Larkin said with a laugh. "Now come on, your making a scene."

"What I can't show how much I LOVE you?" Ames chuckled as he looked into her beautiful brown eyes.

Larkin laughed and kissed his lips softly. "I love you too dear." She smiled and took his hand in his. "I got a fun date planned for tonight with you."

"Wait tonight?" Ames questioned

"What do you have something else planned?" Larkin asked

"No! You just didn't tell me you would be taking me on a date." He said

"Well I'm picking you up at 5." Larkin said. "We are going to go sparring."

"Again? You know I suck at fighting compared to you." Ames sighed

"What? Loser gets ice cream." Larkin smirked. "Besides I don't want you to get drafted into the army and die. Can't have that happening."

"If I get drafted, you would enroll." Ames smirked.

"Ha! You know it. I would love to join the army when I am old enough. I have been training with my falcon since I was small." Larkin said with amazement in her eye.

"You win every hunting and stealth competition." Ames said as they approached the locker rooms.

"Oh I hate PE!" Ames said

"Why it's fun?" Larkin said

"Easy for you to say, I always feel like I'm being stared at.... in my shorts and tight top, plus when I run—" Ames began but Larkin put a finger over his lips

"And who do you think is giving all those girls the stink eye for looking at you." Larkin said. "Believe me, they won't be looking at you and your shorts today." She kissed his cheek before going to the girls locker room.

Ames smiled and sighed before going to the boys locker room.
