You performed a super-heroic pose in front of the mirror — legs spread firmly, a fist reeled back, a hand cutting through the air, back arched, and body slightly turned.
Yes, perfect. Everything was in order.
Though you still couldn't get that dang cowlick to stay down.
Ignoring the monster lurking in the background of the mirror, you grabbed your backpack and slung it over your shoulder.
The rest of your stuff had already been sent to your new school, so all you had packed were stuff to eat and drink on the bus-trip to get there. Your parents would have driven you there but
Mt-Celes apparently denied access into the campus if you weren't coming in through one of their private vehicles.
Even if it was one of the world's most renowned private-school, the security-measures seemed all too paranoid and just a tad suspicious to you.
Coming from you who had monsters in her head, that was saying something!
Prodding the barriers of your mind, you made sure that none of your monsters had slipped out into the real world. Checking the black-cesspool of horror from which they spawned from, you also confirmed that it was full — if not slightly overflowing.
Good, they were still all in your head.

You locked the door to your house and waited outside as the bus was supposed to pick you up at a specific time.
That time being 5:30AM.
You don't get much sleep due to your ability, so waking up early wasn't a problem to you. However, even you thought that setting the time at 5:30AM was a jerk-move.
Sure, the bus was probably running on a schedule and might have also needed to pick-up other students. But it's not like everybody was coming to school on the same bus, right?
A not-yet morning breeze passed-by and caused you to shiver. You rubbed your arms as you noticed a mist rolling into your neighborhood.
Ah, fucking hell, you think you know what's going on: only a
Delinquent Boss could make a dramatic entrance like this. Those dick-heads always manage to change the scenery whenever they were walking to a big or important fight!
Moments later, just as you expected, you spotted a mass of thugs walking down the road. They were from your old-school, easily identified by the black-blazer and the gold dragon-crest on the chest, and they were carrying an assortment of weapons. Leading the group by the front was your school's
De-Boss; tall and muscular with strong chiseled features,
Harold Marth Fordworth.
That idiot was...
[ ]
Your self-proclaimed rival -
Harold is under the impression that you're a guy called 'Arrest', though considering that your old-school had people with names like 'Brick', 'Punch', and 'Iron-Diet', you can't entirely fault him for that. He considers you the Secret Delinquent Boss Of Dradge High School. He isn't very fond of you for being so tough while looking so feminine. You might be partly to blame for being too rough on him but the guy was pretty much asking for it!
[ ]
A friend indeed -
Harold liked the fact that you weren't afraid to speak your mind against him and had declared you as both his second-in-command and battle-brother. Nobody in your old-school dared to cross you anymore, though that made the other schools target you more often. He's pretty chummy with you, even if his antics are exasperating to deal with.
[ ]
A true idiot -
After a series of wacky hijinks which involved Harold landing on top of you a lot, you've noticed that he tends to get flustered around you and you suspect that he might be attracted to you. Problem is, he thinks that you're a guy. Subconsciously, he might be aware that you're a chick; but, consciously, he seems to be under the impression that he's gay. Basically, he acts like an idiot around you. You're really not sure how to feel about this...
Pretty-boys were rare to extinct at your old-school and weren't exactly welcomed by the delinquent-crowd. The fact that you could pass for one didn't help. To say the least, on your first day at school, you taught them very well not to mess with you and that had quickly drew the attention of De-Boss Harold.
You got into a couple of fights with him because he wouldn't leave you alone for some reason.
The rest was, well, history.
