Sweet And Sour [ Mandy x Chester / Manchester ]

Part 1 - Starting

- Mandy Pov

I can't believe I'm already a sophomore, I really have gotten far. It's just going to be like any other year of school, new students, teachers, and more. I need to really be ready for this year, speaking as a straight A student since elementary. There's no one that could possibly be the reason my grades go down, ever. But less talking before I'm late, I need to meet up with Emz and Colette.

After walking towards the front doors of the school, I glanced around looking for my friends. "Over here!" I turned over to see Emz and Colette waiting for me near the front doors that haven't opened yet. I walk towards the two and smile. "Hey guys." Colette was excited to see me and greeted me back. "Thank God you weren't late. There's so many more people than any other year. It seems like there's going to be way more students in our school." It did seem like it, we hardly get new students, but one is good enough. It's time we had some new faces. "Do you know when the gates open-" Just as I finished my sentence, the gates spread wide open, and everyone started walking in. I guess that answers my question. "C'mon, let's go find our lockers!" Colette said as she rushed inside with Emz. I smiled and walked beside them.

Entering in, we go up to the 2nd floor and look around for the lockers assigned to us. My locker was in the middle of 2 other people. "Chester and Fang?" I remember Fang from last year. We had lots of classes together. Chester must be new, but the name sounds - "Mandy! Have you found your locker?" I looked over to my right and saw Emz and Colette standing next to each other. "Yeah, but it seems like there's someone new here." ... Emz looked confused and walked towards me. "Chester? Who's that?" ... "New student, the name sounds boring." Emz and Colette Implied. "We haven't even seen him. Let's just go to homeroom." Both agreed, and we walked in.

Emz looked around for tables of three, which she couldn't find. "There's a table of four in the back we could use. Hopefully, no one else comes to sit with us." We all walk towards the table in the back, and we sit down. After a few minutes of chatting, the teacher comes in. "Byron? I thought he was the science teacher." I whispered. "Maybe he's in the wrong class or something." Colette added ... "Normally, I'm supposed to be your science teacher, but this pathetic school gained no new teachers over summer to be here with you all for homeroom. They told me if I did, I would get paid extra, which is exactly what I'm looking for." That was straight to the point, but understandable coming from a teacher. "Let's quickly get this over with since it's a new year. Introduce yourself to your table mates for 5 minutes." Everyone started chatting as the timer went on. "I'm pretty sure no one is doing introductions. We already know each other anyway." Said Emz. "I'm still curious about the new student named Chester. When is he coming in?" I looked around, but there's no sight of anyone new. "Crazy how we end up with the same people every year." ... "I know!! Everyone here is just straight-up boring!" Emz said, annoyed. "I'm still curious about -" Just before I finished my sentence, somebody new walked into the classroom. Who was it?

Byron looked at the unknown guest and sighed. "Everyone, welcome Chester. He will be our newest student starting today. Everyone welcome him and continued chatting with their tables. "That's the new guy? I thought he'd looked better!" Emz said ... "He's not too bad, let's add him to the scrapbook!" Colette said. He stood in front of the class looking around clueless. "It seems like there's no table for him to sit at." Or is there? Byron looked back at Chester and pointed him towards our table, I was somewhat surprised by how he wasn't hesitant at all. He sat down, and we all went quiet. Emz stayed on her phone, updating her fans while Colette was intensely writing in her scrapbook pages while looking at Chester. And that was the 'first' I heard him speak. "Is that a full body drawing of me?" .. "Yes!! I have a few questions actually, what's your favorite color, number etc..." He was obviously ignoring her. He glanced at me a few times, but I tried ignoring him. It was distracting.

A few minutes into class, Emz asked if she could use the bathroom. Byron sighed and let her go. This class is genuinely boring, and I'm so tired. "Byron, can I get something from my locker real quickly?" He sighed once again and said she could go. Then I realized I was all alone, with Chester. But I have a feeling I've seen him before, but where? I stared at him, thinking I was getting some memory from his face. I really couldn't, but after a while, he noticed me. I didn't expect him to, I turned around acting like I completely wasn't looking at him. I felt a slight tap on my shoulder and looked next to me. Chester? "Yeah?" He looked at me for a second and asked.

"Do I know you?"
