Prologue~

"Oh my, this is so fucking funny!" Bandit managed to say between laughs. Bandit and her best friend, Lily Mae, were going around being pests to the people they had a certain disliking for. Right now, they were in their boarding school, laughing so hard it hurt in their dormitory.

"Oh god, her face!" Lily Mae giggled. They had both gone bright red in the faces, and their insides were starting to hurt from laughing so hard. Bandit smiled at Lily Mae, and for once she felt happy. Happy for real, not a fake happiness. She felt warm on the inside, and she liked it. For the next few hours all she could do was smile from the warmness inside.

                                                             ~

It was near night, and Bandit was sitting, reading a book. She looked up and saw Lily Mae sitting on the chair next to her. She folded the corner of the page and turned to Lily Mae.

"Hey Lily," Bandit smiled. But her smile turned to a frown. Lily Mae had tear-stained cheeks and her eyes were bloodshot. Lily Mae swallowed and looked at Bandit.

"I'm transferring schools..Since Allie moved..I-I just can't stand it here..I'm sorry," Lily Mae whispered, her voice shaking.

"What the hell?! You're transferring schools because some bitch moved!  For fucks sake Lily, get over it!" Bandit yelled, getting up and grabbing her book.

Lily Mae was at the point of sobbing now.
"It hurts Bandit! I've lost a best friend and you don't even care! I told you I was sorry. Please, just understand.."

Bandit made her way to the door and stopped.
"Go to your new school. Make a new best friend. But in that process you won't only forget Allie, but you'll forget me," And with that, Bandit ran back to the dorm, and threw screamed into her pillow. That night both Bandit and Lily Mae cried until their eyes were extremely blood shot, their heads pounded and their throats were raw.


Chapter One-

High School is like a jungle, but most people are lucky enough to get to go home, but not with boarding school. Twenty-four hours for numerous days of the year you're stuck with the animals. No escape. And even worse, getting thrown into a new habitat.

Lily Mae had felt like that when she had first come to this new boarding school. But soon enough she had made lots of friends and was rather popular. But she hadn't fully forgotten about Bandit. Not like Bandit had said. She still felt the odd pain in the chest about it, but she couldn't let that get her down. She just had to think of the happy times and know that they could always find eachother again and re-live those moments.

But, Lily Mae was in for a surprise. After a few months of getting settled in, she was going to get it all shaken up. By somebody by the name of Bandit.
After pleading and begging, Bandit's father had finally let her transfer to the school that Lily Mae went too, and Bandit was ecstatic.

From the excitement she had no space left in her to think of any sad things now. She was going to see her best friend. Her mind buzzed as she was taken to the head teachers office. She set her suitcases down out side and knocked on the door.

"Come in," A voice answered from the other side. The head teacher, Mr.Dyson, looked up at Bandit. He raised his eyebrows at her bright crimson hair.

"You must be Sophia. Sophia Robin. Welcome to my school," Mr.Dyson smiled, moving his paperwork over and setting his hands down.

"I go by Bandit. Not Sophia. And thank you," Bandit answered, adjusting the kirby-pin on her fringe and sitting down.

"Bandit then. Bandit Robin. Well, my school has a lot to offer, use it wisely. You take one step out of line, and you'll regret it. No-one, and I mean no-one runs rings around me. Got it?" Mr.Dyson said, leaning forward, a demonic sort of smile on his face.

Bandit nodded. "May I go to my dorm now?" She asked.

"Yes. You're assigned dorm eleven. And, boys and girls share rooms. But any funny business and you'll be out of this school,. Now run along!" Mr Dyson grinned, turning his chair away and shoo-ing Bandit out.

She walked out and grabbed her bags and walked to dorm eleven. Everyone else was in class right now, so she had a lot of time by herself. She unpacked,  put things away and such. Bandit checked her time-table. Next class was art, and it was starting in about two minutes. She grabbed her bag that had books in it and made her way to the art room. When she knocked and entered everyone looked up from their canvases.

"Ahh, you must be Sophia! Am I right?" A shaggy-haired young man made his way over to Bandit.

"Yes, but I go by Bandit. Ehm, It's my first day..and.." Bandit stopped talking when she saw just what she was hoping to see. Lily Mae! Sitting right at the back of the classroom, her expression was a mixture of shock and happiness.

"Well, Bandit, I'm Mr.King. And this is art, a-" Mr.King was cut-off by Bandit.

"May I sit at the back? Please!" Bandit begged, her eyes pleading.

"Eh, of course, but. Oh, just go sit down!" Mr.King shook his head as Bandit tore down to the back and tackle-hugged Lily Mae.

"Bandit!" Lily Mae screamed in joy. She tightly held Bandit's small body.

"Lily! I missed you sooooooo goddamn much!" Bandit cried, hugging her best friend tightly. Mr.King coughed, but he didn't hide his smile.

Bandit got up, and helped Lily Mae up.

"Bandit, I want you to meet Gerard! And Gerard, meet Bandit!" Lily Mae smiled. Bandit looked at this Gerard-guy.

"Hi! Nice to meet you," Gerard smiled, being friendly.

Bandit just nodded her head and turned to Lily Mae.

"What are we supposed to be doing?" She asked.

Lily Mae pointed to her and then Gerard's canvases.

"We're too paint our emotions. You see, on mine the red shows my happiness, the purple my anxiousness, and so on."

Bandit just nodded, but she didn't want to do this. It wasn't that fun. She just started to paint a flock of sparrows, losing herself.

"Nice painting, but how does it express your feelings?" Gerard asked. But not in a rude way, just a curious way.

"Because my whole life I've wanted to fit in, and fly away from my worries and past. There, anymore stupid questions?" Bandit snapped.

"i was just curious.." He replied, a confused look on his face.

"And you think I care? Not in the slightest," Bandit smiled.

"I've just met you and you're rude too me! What've done?!" He quietly yelled.

"Hm, let's see...Well, for starters; Does it concern you how I behave? Nope. Now leave me alone, please," With that Bandit turned away, and continued painting.

Lily Mae just shrugged and continued painting.

Well, maybe first days don't always mean that people are going to be nice. Right?
