The bell rang, and students of all sizes and ages came into the hall. And Keith was in the middle of it. As a bunch of athletes spun their basketballs and helmets in the air, one of them hit Keith in the face. The raven haired male let out a grunt, rubbing his cheek. He managed to get to the office without dying, thankfully.

"Um, is this the front desk?" He asked, pushing his glasses up.

"Yes this is. How may we be of service, Mr...."

"Kogane," Keith answered.

"Right. Um, here we are. Keith Kogane, second year?" The lady asked him, reading the computer screen.

Keith nodded.

"Okay, here are the needed things you need: your ID, locker number, locker combination, PE clothes, PE locker lock, PE locker combination, and schedule." The lady said to Keith, handing him the needed materials.

Keith looked down at his materials, and nodded. "Thank you." He said leaving the office.

Wednesday||Hallway||7:05 a.m.

"Okay, locker 324." Keith said to himself, walking up to his locker.
When he got there, some other boy was already there, trudging through his garbage. The other boy was much taller and way skinnier than Keith. He had chestnut colored hair, and was wearing a light brown jacket. The male seemed to have headphones on, and was probably listening to music.

Keith only glanced at the boy before walking towards him. He tapped his shoulder, but the other individual didn't seem to notice.

The raven haired teen breathed in and out, and then said, "Excuse me,"

The other male didn't pay attention once again, and continued on to take things in and out of his locker.

"I SAID EXCUSE ME!" Keith exclaimed now ticked off by the sun-kissed boy.

"Huh," The tall male said, his headphones falling off his head.

He looked over at Keith, his attention now fully directed towards him. The boy had his arms crossed, and turned off his phone. He looked ticked off as well, and Keith now sweaty and nervous.

Shoot. Good going, Kogane. You pissed him off.... How are ya' going to get out of this one?! Oh I don't know, by what, by murdering him?! AWE HECK NAW!! We are not doing that! Right brain, cooperate with me here! I am, Left brain, for your information! Pfft, like YOU know anything!

"Would you two knock it off, and focus on the situation that's standing in front of us for once?!" Keith exclaimed, hitting his head.

"Huh, you okay man?" The other male asked, raising an eyebrow at Keith.

"Uh," The raven haired boy squeaked his eyes wide. He gulped, not sure how to explain the scenario that just played in his head.

"I'm waiting for an answer dude," The boy said, getting impatient with Keith.

"My left and right brain were fighting?" squeaked Keith, covering his head. "PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"

"Oh, that was all? Don't worry man. That happens all the time with me." The boy said, winking at Keith. His hand was now touching Keith's shoulder.

"Um, please don't touch me...." Keith ordered, taking his hand off of his shoulder.

"Oh, sorry man." The male said, taking his hand away. "The name's Lance, by the way. What's yours?" The boy known as 'Lance' asked Keith.

"Um, my name's Kogane, Keith Kogane." Keith said, shaking Lance's hand.

"Nice. Well why are ya' here Keith? This is MY locker." Lance explained, pointing at the locker that was open beside him.

"Well, I was assigned to this locker as well. So, I guess we're going to have to share." Keith said, pushing his prescription glasses up.

"Whatever, fine with me. Just keep your things on the bottom or somethin' I don't really care." Lance shrugged.

"Um, thanks?" Keith said, setting his things down.

He only took his PE materials and schedule with him, leaving everything else behind in the locker. Keith got up, and swinged his bag over his shoulder, after putting his things in it. Lance closed the locker, following Keith.

"Why are you following me?" Keith asked Lance, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I never told you? We have the same schedule! Isn't that great?!" Lance exclaimed, hugging Keith.

"WHAT?! N-NO! GET OFF OF ME!! I DON'T DO HUGS!!" Keith exclaimed, pushing Lance away. "What do you mean 'we have the same schedule'?!"

"Yeah, same homeroom, same teachers, lunch, etcetera." Lance explained, his hand moving along with his facial expressions and actions. "Well, besides 6th period. Ha-ha...."

"What has this world come to?" Keith squeaked, dropping his bag.

"I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND ALL DAY WITH MY NEW LOCKER BUDDY!!" Lance said, squeezing Keith's arm.

I don't think I'll love EVERYBODY here Shiro..... Help me....
Keith thought to himself, fainting.

"Uh, Keith, you okay?" Lance asked, bending down, poking Keith's face.
