Chapter 1: Golden Girl

The Bakugan Academy, a place full of strong brawlers and Bakugan. A place where people could learn how to become the top, a place Shira never thought she'd be able to join. She was never able to attend school for more than a week since she got herself into so many incidents. Due to this she's been homeschooled for most of her life, and hardly has any social skills. A white bakugan, with silver accents, hopped on her shoulder.

"My mistress, are you going to be okay?"

Genesis tugged on her shirt, hoping for a somewhat positive answer. Shira just looked at her partner and smiled. "Yeah, I guess. I have you so I know I'll be fine" sounds of happiness seemed to have escaped the bakugan as they made their way into the academy.

The halls were bustling with students, people meeting up with their friends and heading to class. Shira didn't like it, she felt like everyone had their eyes on her, silently judging her without her knowledge, it was crushing. "Let's hope class, isn't this bad" Shira couldn't help but mumble, turning to the door that her caretaker told her to go to. The students were finding their seats, chatting and playing with their bakugan while they were small. A group of pretty recognisable kids were hanging near the top.

"I hope we get to train today"

Dan fantasised, throwing himself on his seat. "I swear that's all you ever think about, apart from food" Wynton couldn't help but sigh as he sat next to him. The others just chuckled and slid into their seats too. "Training would be great actually" Hydorous casually pounced off Shun's shoulder, joining the other Bakugan fussing around on the desks.

Shira kept to herself on the side as more students came herding into the classroom. It was like this until the teacher came in.

"Alright class, settle down! We have a new student joining us today, I said calm!" Ms Weaver yelled, casually leaning on her desk and she watched her students scatter to their seats. "Alright you've all finally settled down, great" Ms Weaver deadpanned, gesturing to Shira to come in front of the class.

"This is your new classmate, rival, friend, associate, Shira Haruno. However you may view her in the classroom or battlefield I expect you all to treat her with respect"

Shira could feel all the students staring at her, she didn't like this attention. It was a few seconds of silence before the teacher noticed her nervousness. Smiling, she whispered to the girl "Hey Shira, c'mon introduce yourself. I know it's nerve-racking but the sooner you do it, the sooner we get it over and get to sit down." Shira shakily nodded and faced the class. One big breath and

"Hello everyone, I'm Shira Haruno, pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

The class all randomly started saying hi and waving, Shira tried her best to stay calm, but her face was getting warm from embarrassment. "Alright class, settle down now Shira since its your first day, what would you like to do?" Ms Weaver asked, Shira guessing it was to help build some kind of confidence or potential friendships. Genesis took another peep out from her bag, climbing onto her shoulder.

"My mistress, could I suggest something?"

It tilted it's head with a pitched idea. "Oh, yes. Go ahead Genesis" Shira replied. It went up to her ear and seemed to have whispered something before climbing back down onto her shoulder. Shira let out a deep breath, "My Bakugan and I would like to have a bakugan battle" everyone's ears seemed to have pricked up at this.

Especially a certain someone's.

"Alrighty then, always a fun way to start the day. Who would you like to battle?" Ms Weaver asked. Shira lifted her pointed finger to the back. "With him please" Dan couldn't contain his excitement. He physically jumped out of his seat and flew down the stairs, missing so many steps.
