Chapter 1: First Meetings

In spite of their dad's instructions regarding their impending move, it was several weeks before they actually moved out. Their father had been extra- picky about this particular job transfer, going to luncheons and dinners with his correspondent nearly every night, which made Rikku's and Rumiku's life that much easier.

They had only met the 'correspondent' once, but once was enough to figure out why he was taking his time. Miss Yume was tall, slim, and beautiful with short black hair and dark brown eyes. Mr. Sapporo had been nicer to his sons and daughters than ever before in the presence of the young woman, and Sydney thanked their lucky stars she had made a good impression.

He rarely hit them after meeting Miss Yume and when he had, it was generally because he was drunk, or because they had been too slow with dinner or cleaning. But the only problem was that Miss Yume had broken it off with him so he wab back to his nasty self. Though when others wee around he was as sweet as could be. By the time Rikku, Rumiku, Sparky, Physic, and Sydney Hiroshima entered their new school, the bruises on ther faces had completely faded, from their last major beating.

Today was Rikku's and Rumiku first day at Mathias Middle, and it was Sparky's, Physic's, and Sydney's first day of Mathias Elementary. But Rikku and Rumiku felt bored enough to frown as the teacher introduced them to the class.

"Class, this is Miss Rikku Hiroshima and Miss Rumiku Hiroshima."

Rikku and Rumiku smirked as all eyes turned to them. There were a few muffled whistles from the boys and a couple snide looks from some of the girls. They were surprised. Both girls were wearing black t-shirts with red flames(Rikku), and silvr flames(Rumiku) at the bottom. And they were wearing blue jeans with black flames at the bottom with, for Rikku, a red and white, and for Rumiku, black and white shirts around their wists. With black skateboard shoes. On top of Rikku's long red and black hair that was in a ponytail, and Rumiku's silver and black hair that was in a ponytail, were tan panama hats.

"Would you like to say something?" the teacher asked. Rikku and Rumiku slowly turned their penetrating gazes to the teacher and smirked.

Do we have to?" the twins asked.

"Yes" the teacher replied.

"Something" the two chorused.

The class laughed as the twins smirked and headed towards the empty seats the teacher gestured to.

"Hi!" Rumiku glanced over at the person next to her and saw a boy about her age with blonde hair and blue/green eyes smiling at her. "My name's Cody Martin." He was whispering, trying not to attract unwanted attention from the teacher.

"Hn" Rumiku grunted slumping in her chair. A loud cough made Cody whirl around and smile innocently at the teacher his cheeks flamming, causing several of their classmates to titter quietly. Cody sighed audibly when released from the accusing gaze.

Rumiku and Rikku didn't even try to pay attention to the lecture, their minds kept wandering to other things. Their father was being nicer to them than normal, and they really missed all of their friends in Sydney, Austrailia.

"You're late." The teacher's dry comment interrupted their thoughts, as them and the entire class turned towards the door. Cody groaned as he caught the sight of the newcomer, Rikku and Rumiku glanced at him. He also had blonde hair and blue/green eyes.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." His voice was just as dry. The whole class laughed as he strolled nonchalantly towards his seat.

'I take it he's the class clown'. . . Rikku thought to herself, watching in disgust as several girls pretended to swoon.

As if sensing her thoughts, Cody leaned over and whispered in her Rumiku's ear. Thanks to Rikku's excellent hearing she heard what he said. "That's my twin brother Zack. He's the class clown. Always getting in trouble"

Rikku's expression turned hostile. In all the schools she'd been to, she'd seen guys like that. Guys who thought they were so cool they could get away with anything. And she had hated each and every one of them. She turned towards the front of the room just in time to see the teacher motion towards her and her sister.

"Well, just in case you missed something else, we have new students."

Zack looked up sharply, searching the room until he found hetm. The Hiroshimas regarded him coolly, and he met them gaze with disinterest. Neither of them spoke.

"Well." The teacher coughed lightly, confused by the silence of the three students. "If there won't be any more interruptions." She continued on with the lesson, but even fewer students were listening now.

'Niiiiiiiice.' Cody thought to himself.

Zack's face was dark. 'They could've at least said hi' A small voice tried to remind him that he hadn't said anything either but he ignored it.

'I knew it' Rikku and Rumiku thought as the bell rang signaling them to their next class. 'Just like the others. What a jerk'

"What class do you have next?" Cody asked running to catch up with them.

"Umm. . ." Rikku racked her brain thinking hard. "Science is next."

Cody's face lit up. "Me too! We'll probably have a lot of classes together than. They try to group people together according to their first two periods. That's so lucky!"

Rikku nodded slightly and was about to say something when she bumped into something hard. "Watch where you're going." She snapped, looking around to meet the blue/green gaze of the annoyed student.

"Watch where you're going, New Kid." Zack warned, brushing past her.

"Jerk." Rumiku muttered, and thed smirked as he froze.

"Watch your mouth" He turned to glare at her.

"Why don't you watch yours, idiot!" She glared back, refusing to back down.

"I told you to watch it!"

"Maybe you're not used to talking to anyone with a brain, loser, but not everybody on this planet worships the ground you walk on!"

"Like hanging around YOU would get me used to being around smart people." He smirked, thinking he'd won.

"You're right. You're so far gone it would take more than EINSTEIN to get anything through your thick skull!"

"Well excuse me for breathing!" He knew it was a weak come back, but he was too furious to keep quiet.

"Only if you promise to stop." She told him bitterly. "Come on Rikku"

He began to growl softly, causing Cody to place a hand on his shoulder in warning. "I'm going to get her." Zack turned to face his best friend and twin. "She's going to wish she was never born."

Cody nodded, attempting to look reassuring and failing miserably. He had never seen his brother this riled! 'Wait till he figures out whose in our science class. . .' He thought to himself glumly, envisioning a year full of insults and fights….
