Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nao fell out of his bed when he felt the covers yanked off him. "God mom you scared me so bad." Her mother stood there tapping her foot. "Naomi Stevens! I told you you had to start your new school today. I know it's ridiculous and you don't want to go so don't give me any of that s**t. Just get ready and hurry up. The alarm has rung four times already and you ignored it. You will be late."

With the speech his mother was out the door and off to work. Nao would get no fresh made wonderful breakfast and love from his mother. As for his father well, lets just say he was the reason they were here in this new place. Nao sighed and picked himself up off the floor. Moving at a snail pace he made his way to the closet and pulled out an outfit. Supposedly the school had uniforms and when he got there he would receive hiss since his mother so kindly called ahead to arrange Nao's schooling. One good thing for Nao was he lived close to the school and only had to walk so late waking up wasn't so bad for him. However this day was only about to get worse for the poor boy.

Nao arrived at the school and walked into the office. "Hey um, I am here and suppose to be signing in today. My mom called ahead and faxed all the paper work. They told me everything would be ready for me and i could pick up my uniform here in the office." He looked awkwardly at the secretary as she nodded. "Right. Through that door." With out even looking up the lady had pointed him toward a door. Nao shrugged but hurried to through the pointed out door. Once inside he was greeted warmly.

This would be were the trouble started. "Naomi I assume?" The lady said shaking his hand and welcoming him to the school. "It's just Nao actually." He said with a little blush. The lady nodded and pointed toward a uniform hanging on the door behind them. When Nao saw it his face flushed and he panicked. The lady continued not looking at Nao. "This will be your uniform and you are required to wear it at all times while on school grounds. If.." She was cut off as Nao nearly screamed out.

"This is a GIRLS uniform!" The lady looked confused and nodded. "Well yes. It is your uniform that was pre-ordered by your mother." Nao shook his head fast. "No way I am wearing that! I am a MALE lady!" The principle froze. "We were informed that a young WOMEN named 'Naomi Stevens' was joining our school." She pulled out the paper work and showed Nao where 'female' was checked for 'student sex'. Nao freaked. "Oh god mom. you never pay attention to anything! Look lady, while this is lovely and all there is no way in hell I am wearing a female uniform. I know I look girly, and granted my mother gave me a female name but i can assure you i am one hundred percent male."

The principle stood then and nodded. "Naomi I am beyond sorry for this confusion, but as you can clearly see here you mother checked the 'female' box. Now on your scholarship they will only pay for ONE uniform. Unfourtionatly for you young... man, this will be the ONE. You are welcome to purchase another uniform at full price of fifty dollars per piece. Mind you there is three pieces to the male summer uniform and four to the male winter uniform. You are required to have all the pieces. Now this one is free of charge as well as the packaged winter female uniform."

As the principle continued to talk Nao felt panic setting in. No way in hell his mom and him could even afford one piece of the uniform let alone the whole thing. "But... I am male. Can't you tell the Scholarship that there was a confusion and my mother checked the wrong box.." The principle cut him off before he could finish. "Naomi, I didn't want to mention this part, but I believe you mother was FULLY paying attention to the forms. The Scholarship you qualified for due to your outstanding academic achievements, which I also am astounded by, was for only FEMALE students."

Nao froze and felt like he would cry. "So... your saying.. if i tell them i am male.. I will lose everything and not even have to worry that my uniform is female." The principle nodded. "Now I personally should revoke your Scholarship right here and now knowing this information and kick you out of the school for false documentation. However, as you stated 'Miss' Stevens, you look feminine and have a female name. You could very well pass by the schools eyes as a female student. No one would have to know." Nao cringed. "However I would have to wear this and be known as a female." Once again she nodded to him.

Noa dreaded what came next but he knew it had to happen. Slowly he reached for the uniform and opened the door nodding. After a few he stepped out blushing in his new uniform. The principle smiled and reached out her hand to him which Nao reluctantly took. "Welcome to Fore-site Academy for the gifted Miss Stevens."

The Television screen flashed bright with life and then the Mayors face appeared on it. "I will single handedly bring forth judgment on their leader and issue him the death sentence- for he is nothing, one could say he's below humanity, beneath us" the mayors voice boomed out. As quick as it appeared the screen went black again and the room was once again silent.

Valmier shifted in his seat and chuckled as he turned off the TV trying to rid himself of the terrible face on it. "For once dear Mayor, it seems we agree about something. Only thing is, it will not be you doing anything to the Beast." Valmier had always despised that foul being know as Beast and plotted to over turn him and his little corporation he was running. He just had to play the game correctly and wait for his opening before the strike. It was like the fencing duels Valmier use to do when he was younger in his family's home. If one was to pushy and moved to soon they would be out of the game. You had to have precise timing and sometimes even know when to take a hit. Sadly Val was never a very patient man and he grew tired of this little game they were playing. He wanted to strike already and stop playing innocent lackey.

He sighed at the thought turning once more in his seat the leather protesting beneath him and crying out. The thought pissed Val off and he slammed his fist down into the desk shaking it and knocking a few of his things to the ground. The silence was frustrating him and he quickly turned the TV on again. He was about to turn the channel to avoid seeing the Mayors face when he noticed it was now the news.

The reporter seemed to get serious as he spoke. "In recent news, It seems as if the Lost boys have struck again. An Officer reported finding a drug dealer rather banged up with one of the boys hovering over top of him. We go to Timmothy who is live at the scene with the reporting Officer." The scene cut over to a outer part of the uptown area and the Officer reported that he barely missed apprehending the lost boy as well but cops were fresh on his tail. Valmier laughed at that, damn well knowing the Lost Boy had out smarted the cop and was already safe hours before any of the reports had made it to the scene.

It was what he expected from the cops. How could any of them be expected to do well when not even there leader could? What was Gerard up to, Valmier wondered. Last Val had seen him he was winking to him from behind the window of the car as it speed off down the street. Valmier had always pride himself on being one step ahead of the Cops. When they would get to the scene there would be nothing left to find but the tip of a hat as Val disappeared. This to was a well calculated game, just like the one he played with Beast. However Val always found this one fun. Perhaps because he was winning in this one.

When his thoughts trailed back to reality Valmier noticed the news was back to reporting on the Mayors up coming reelection. With a scowl he quickly turned off the TV again just in time to hear the Knock present on the door. "Enter" he announced. A man slowly pushed open the over size doors to his Office and entered already half bowed. Fully bowing now he spoke. "Please excuse me Sir, but I am suppose to report to you a disturbance has arose in one of the underground factory brothels. I was told to inform you the man is insisting to only speak to you and he has struck several of the women already casing quiet a scene."

Valmier motioned for the man to rise and nodded in acknowledgment to his words. The man understood this as a sign to leave and hurried out the door. "The day wouldn't of been complete without some kind of work popping up." Val groaned to himself as he rose from the leather chair and grabbed his coat heading for the door.
