Got 'Ah Problem? (Adopted Shugo Chara! FanFic)

1. Amulet Heart & the Bad First Impression

"I'm tired ... So tired of it all ... The rules, the orders, the restraints. Tired of adults acting like they're better than me. Tired of the judgment of my peers, expecting me to conform to what they want. Well, I won't. I refuse. I'll no longer be what you want me to be. This is the way I am. Got 'ah problem?"

...

The students of Seiyo Academy often expect new classmates throughout the year, but they instantly recognized one walking past them before classes began one morning.

"Is that the new student over there?" one girl inquired, pointing.

"Yeah, it is," answered her friend who was responsible for the gossip. The new student's blue eyes met the girl's through a pair of black glasses. The girl's gaze was held for a while before turning back around and continuing. The girl stood stunned with pink flushing over her cheeks.

"Hey, the transfer student is pretty cute, huh?" she whispered to her friend.

In Class Star, the question of who the next transfer student will be was soon answered.

"Ah, so, as you all know," Nikaidou-sensei explained. "We have a new transfer student today. Please give a warm welcome." Everyone waited with anticipation as the sensei gestured for his new student to enter. A somewhat tall boy came through the doors. He was long-limbed and slim with an almost feminine build.

His eyes were ocean blue, he had a plaid scarf with dangling earbuds around his neck to match, and he had short, messy brown hair that brought out his dark blue star earrings. He wore glasses that somehow made him look cuter. He turned to the class and pushed his glasses up his nose.

"The name's Akira Kaminari," he casually claimed. The girls whispered among themselves and the boys looked annoyed.

"As if there wasn't enough trouble with Tadase around. Now we have another pretty boy," Amu heard someone say. She had to admit the boy was indeed pretty. He had long lashes and an angular face, but she was pretty sure that he was a guy. He was also wearing casual clothes, consisting of jeans, and a plain jacket.

"As you can see," Nikaidou-sensei clarified. "Kaminari-san has yet to receive the Seiyo uniform, so for today, please excuse her appearance..." It took Amu a second to process the sensei's words properly.

"Wait... 'Her?'" someone spoke up. All the attention in the room turned to Akira. She was busy examining her nails. When it grew silent, she looked up.

"Yeah, I'm a girl. Got 'ah problem?" she announced.

After that little shocker, Akira was given a seat next to the window on the other side of Amu than Rima. She sat down and prospered her brown messenger bag against her desk leg before pulling out a notebook. When Amu glanced over, she would see the boyish girl. She had to remind herself, doodling, or taking notes. Akira mostly stared out the window, uninterested.

During break time, Akira didn't move and continued to doodle and zone out. The more Amu looked, the more Akira appeared girlish. She could make a very pretty boy or a very boyish girl but on closer inspection was definitely female. Ran squeezed out of Amu's bag and floated up next to her.

"Amu-chan... I feel a presence from that girl," she cautioned with uncertainty. Miki and Su floated out as well, both with equally concerned expressions.

"Is it a Chara?" Amu asked. Miki looked thoughtful.

"It feels similar, but it's too..." she trailed off, unable to come up with the correct wording.

"Dark," Su finished, shivering.

"An X Egg then?" Amu asked. Her Charas looked at her and shook their heads.
