Chapter 1: It’s like High-School (Without Musical)! (1)
Corrections by: Ant0nius (FFN)
Prism University, the place where ‘dreams come true’. 
The peak of education in terms of quality in service and in offering some hefty pedigree for its successful students, those that had managed to win over the various obstacles along the way of true success.
An establishment that gave to many the chance of achieving even the most-complicated and nigh-impossible job opportunities with proper preparation and study.
Important and influential people in modern society had studied there in the past, obtaining impressive points to their respective curriculum that saw their career skyrocket to reach the highest class of elite, beyond the expectations of many born in riches.
Of course all of them had praised highly the impressive curricula, having more than once donated part of their non-negligible patrimonies.
Still, it wasn’t an easy feat to conclude the various years of study there.
The various courses had different spans of years to see their finalization.
Sometimes even dragging for a little less than a decade of studies but the requirements and efforts were all well-rewarded with quite the ultimate diploma that paved the way to many high-level works early on in the former students’ careers.
Many thousands of young men and women would flock eagerly to try their best to secure an enrollment to Prism Uni from all over the world, from poor upbringings to the richest ones.
But the real issue was the earliest obstacle, the selection of those that were to be enlisted and those that ended up being denied.
There wasn’t much of a clear explanation over the mysterious system used to select the proper documents from those trying to get in the Uni, but it was effective enough to keep a large majority out, and to not overpopulate the magnificent campuses there for the students to use during their stays at the facilities.
Such an important place where anyone could achieve the top with proper dedication and hardwork.
Yet I found myself embroiled into what could be considered a… rare circumstance.
What many should already know about this important establishment is that it is located in Prism, the capital of the Newer Continent and where the Prime’s government resided.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to see how odd it would be for a young human to not only try his luck at getting enrolled, but also being accepted without an apparent reason. 
To be fair, I hadn’t been the one that compiled and sent the subscription form to the Prism High. I knew about the impossible means to be accepted into the school. 
In fact, my main targets early on had been Stanford and Berkley. They were both fairly important on their own, and were also close to where I lived, New Pasadena. 
The true culprit behind it all was… my own mother.
She had always been the kind of individual to take strange initiatives in her life, and this behavior had been there since she was a young girl. 
None of the crazy escalations that would then ensue from those weird trail of thoughts ever deterred her from pursuing the next wacky adventure. Not even dad would try and reason with her over the crazy attempts she would aspire for. 
So, when she decided to give a thorough look for any good colleges to send me to study via her ‘trusty’ laptop, her attention had been drawn towards one of the many advertisements for Prism Uni, and she was compelled to learn more about the establishment. 
Ignoring the blatant signs that it was a Primes-only school, the lovely woman with seemingly zero common sense decided that it would have been a great idea to instantly send a properly-compiled form right away, without telling anything about it to anyone until much later, when dinner was starting. 
Stumped’ failed to sufficiently understand the immense bewilderment that this sudden development caused, but my thoughts were dismissed. Such effort shouldn’t have garnered the attention of anyone relevant in particular within the administrative branch assigned to deal with this stuff. 
A month passed, and I now find myself trying to understand the newest letter sent back to me. 
Announcing my acceptance at Prism Uni and the proper date when I had to present myself to start my years of study there, this letter was a testament of how fate had decided to reward mom a rare victory for her... unique approach. 
She was over-joyed that her ‘little boy’ had been accepted by one of the most-renowned schools in the world, blatantly missing the true shocking element that was rendering this whole mess even more surreal than a simple acceptance news.
Ignoring the fact related to the slim hopes I would have gotten in trying to get in a school that was meant to accept only Primes, I was subsequently floored over the veracity of the message despite my efforts to prove it a false/prank response.
The first thing I did before succumbing to the undeniable shock of this development was to check if the signs displayed there were the correct ones and, much to my growing dread, it was a true document of acceptance.
I tried to see if it was some complex prank, if it was just a joke, by also checking if the stamps and other elements in the letter matched with the proper acceptance file, all the efforts culminating in a single thought.
I was accepted at Prism University.
With this news sinking in my brain and the various ramifications slowly riddling my thoughts for the next few days, I finally conceded that reality had surrendered itself to an absurd circumstance, which saw me being sent in the heart of Primekind. 
I had no issues with Primes as there were some friendly folks that lived here in the little city where I lived, New Pasadena, and I had some friends here which I shared some early elementary years with that were Primes.
The issue here was that I was going to be one of the few humans to go into the capital of the Kingdom of Prism. 
Was I nervous? Immensely so.
But refusing to take an opportunity just because of a few obstacles in front of me? It would have been foolish of me to do so.
Prism Uni was still a top-notch college and, despite the odd situation that got me accepted by the school, I still had to give a try to what seemed to be my best shot at life.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I was incredibly unsure what I was supposed to do in a place like the one I was meant to go since I have never traveled that far from home, but my mind was now set to make an attempt and so were the documents for my trip right into the next chapter of my life.
Thus, I took one of the flights available from San Francisco. After a few hours of uneventful sleep, I finally reached the grand capital of the Newer Continent. 
I’ve seen New York once when I was just a child during a family trip, but the sight which I was bestowed when I disembarked from the plane and made my way out of the airport was truly immense.
I had no issues with Primes, as there were some of the friendly folks living here in the little city of New Pasadena. Some friends here that I shared early elementary classes with were Primes. 
There were multiple skyscrapers visible from just outside the airplane, and I saw some of the many trees located in the various parks spread over the humongous city. 
A sublime harmony of technology and nature that none of the human cities had been able to rebuilt since the birth of Neo-Earth.
I was mesmerized by the scenario I was presented with, almost drowned by it, but I still managed to get through my early awe and get moving out to reach where my temporary flat was supposed to be.
A very small place, just somewhere to crash and rest until tomorrow. 
The big day, the starting point for my years here at Prism.
Leaving the three bags I had filled with the most indispensable stuff for my long stay here by the little bedroom I had in that pseudo-flat, I decided to spent the whole day indoors to get through the little case of Jetlag I was experiencing in those moments.
'Incredibly drained by the flight, the bed looked like a nice place to hang out for my first day here at Prism. Regardless, my attention was mostly focused toward the laptop I had brought with me for this occasion. I used it to confirm some of the topics here that I was still doubtful about. 
I went to sleep earlier than usual that day, hoping to get to wake up early the next morning.
Oh right, how rude of me. Before I forget, I think I should introduce myself. 
My name is Frankie Parker and, right now I’m undoubtedly going to be-
------------d-d-d-d------------d-d-d-d----------d-d-d-dd----------
LATE!!
I admit I should have set up an alarm instead of believing the whole ‘sleep early, wake up early’ crap, especially since I had tried this stuff in the past for some important exams.
I could still remember the panic I had back in those occasions and now I was feeling much worse about it all as I skimmed through the various streets in front of me, minding just barely about the cars that were coming around while I rushed across the roads.
With the three bags safely hanging by my arms and neck, I proceeded to pull what many experts would consider to be a ‘super-human feat’ by bolting around the city with every ounce of strength I had in my legs.
I was supposed to reach a place that was about half an hour away from where I currently was in less than ten minutes.
It was alright, it wasn’t that much of a pro-
I needed to do a miracle.
I could already see where it was, but it was so distant and so… close!
I wasn’t going to bite the dust without putting everything I had in my body.
To the surprise and amusement of those witnessing my dash through the districts, I had been running pretty fast for a human with three bags in tow. Sadly, it wasn't enough to make it in time for the grand ceremony planned for the beginning of the school year. 
I took a brief pause by one of the intersections, a barrier of cars stopping me from continuing in my heated march and… 
I’m so going to turn up late.
Groaning quietly at the realization that I was literally losing too much time there, I felt like things were just set against me in that precise circumstance.
I had dealt with bad luck more than once in the last few years, but this was the first time I had to deal with quite the horrible escalations of things.
Just as I let the realization that there was no way for me to get there in time I-
Beep Beep
I almost jumped at the sudden honking noise coming from the street nearby, my wide eyes snapping my attention right to look at my right side and-
“Hey pal, you seem to be in quite a rush,” A Cat Prime pointed out with a certain eased tone from within a yellow-colored car. 
He had shoulder-length silver-hair and a pair of light-amber eyes.
He was wearing an unbuttoned light-brown jacket that make way for a pale-yellow shirt; I could see some dark-blue jeans, but his shoes were hidden from my current perspective.
“Where are you going with so much stuff around anyway?”
I blinked, losing just a second to recollect myself back to reality and- the panic resumed its turbulent presence within my brain.
“I-I was-” I paused a moment in my response, glancing at the still ongoing traffic in front of me. “I need to get to Prism Uni.”
He frowned. “With so many bags, 'it's either a chick you're helping, or some good buddy of yours.”
I shook my head. “This is all my stuff as… I got accepted at Uni.”
…
“You kidding, right?” The guy asked with a confused look. “I mean, I know that there are some people that fakes their acceptance but-”
I proceeded to show him the little plasticized card I had been given together with the letter, with the photo that had been sent together with all the general details about myself.
The Prime blinked, eyes fixed on the unquestionable bit of proof I had on myself and… he blinked again, looking up back to my face. “You mean that you got accepted-”
“Yep.”
“Even though you are a human?” He asked with more surprise than else to which I gave a nod in response.
“Yep.”
He leaned back for a moment in his seat and looked at the traffic already starting to unfold.
“And you are trying to get in there by foot?” 
“I forgot to set up an alarm and woke up late,” I explained quickly as my attention was taken by the fact the cars were finally making way for some space to rush through.
My legs were preparing for another mad sprint to try to continue with my run, but just as I prepared to conclude this refreshing conversation in a friendly way, the Cat Prime nodded and spoke up again.
“Ya know, I can give you a ride there?”
The proposal was swift to enter my adrenaline-dominated mind, causing me to freeze at the words before I turned my sight back to the young man and… to the plasticized card with his own details.
“I’m a firsty myself,” The Cat continued with a smile now on his face, giving a shake of the card. “Hop in, buddy.”
I stood there in utter surprise at the curious development, unsure if I should pick up his offer or not.
The card was legit at a proper study and he seemed to be genuinely friendly with his mannerism…
I decided to accept the offer, well-aware that any further delays would have costed me the chance of arriving on time to the ceremony.
My next task was to put my bags in the car’s trunk, carefully not pressing over the ones that were already there, and I rushed to the seat beside the driver’s one.
With the little door closed, the vehicle started to move through the main street that concluded right where Prism Uni was with a moderate pace.
My nervousness was slowly subsiding with the certainty that we were going to turn up punctual for the initiation event and avoid any reprimands or outright expulsion.
“I think it’s odd that you, a human, got accepted in there-” The young man resumed the conversation. “No offense of course-”
“None taken,” I interjected with a calm tone. “I understand myself that it’s quite the unexpected situation- I mean, it was mom that sent the form and-”
“You still got accepted, I bet it had to be quite a shocker,” He interrupted with an amused tone, drawing my little uneasiness down even more.
“Quite so and...” I blinked, staring as we were getting close to the school. “Do you think I will get some attention once we get there? I thought about the fact others might-”
“You might get everyone’s attention, dude,” The Cat continued with quite the sureness in his tone. “But I can’t help but feel envious that you might get some ladies’ attention too, if you catch my drift.”
I caught that very easily, in fact the little blush at that comment was more than a good answer to his words and soon he let out a chuckle at my embarrassment.
“C’mon, you mean to tell me you haven’t thought about the chances of getting some girls here?” He pressed on with a certain interest. “You don’t like Prime girls or what?”
“N-None of that!- It’s just that I...” I stopped for a moment, my mind having some trouble to elaborate the very simple issue about that stuff. “I never had a relationship before.”
I expected him to gloat, maybe because he seemed fairly versed over women so much that he had to have experienced some romantic and non- relationships.
Yet I was surprised by a shrug from my part. “Same, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try out now of all times,” The guy replied with a hum. “I mean, you know how many hot chicks study there?”
It was no secret for anyone that Primes were generally attractive and… I did have some crushes in some pretty girls back home that were mostly Primes at that.
I sighed. “I guess so...” I concluded with a blink, but then I realized that I had forgotten to do something about this. “By the way, I’m Frankie Parker.”
“Miles Lionheart,” He returned my introduction with his own. “And I can tell that we are going to be good pals, dude.”
And I couldn’t help but nod eagerly at that statement, feeling like that this was really going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

~Change of POV~
The big day has finally come and… she couldn’t believe it.
With her pink scooter coming to a halt by one of the free slots in the private parking lot assigned to students, a certain dark-haired prime disembarked by her vespa and took a sigh of relief as she removed her sunglasses, revealing to the world her bright green eyes.
Hope Ravenburst had finally arrived at Prism University, mere minutes from the start of the initiation event planned to occur this very day. Obviously, she was quite excited, and yet, she was nervous over the final chapter dedicated to her studies. 
Not a sad one for sure, as she had planned every single contingency she thought was needed for spending the next few years at one of the greatest colleges ever for primes. 
She didn’t expect to make many friends early on, especially after the little slow start she had to experience back in high school, but she wasn’t deterred from the fact that surely she would end up befriending someone new in her first year.
Of course, part of the glee she had for these next few years would be the many, many opportunities to her to be this close to... him. 
Shin Aryoko, one of her first friends and her crush. 
It would be a massive understatement to say that she was 'just' a little elated to receive the news that he was also going to have his first year at Prism. She literally rush back to her room moments after finding this out from her mom, so as to hide her squeals of delight from her little sister. 
Joy was still young but terribly quick to tease her around when the ‘Shin’ topic was brought up to her attention, which was quite ironic considering how clueless she was about love herself.
An unexpected surprise, but a welcomed one to say the least. 
But now it wasn’t time to lose herself in memory lane as she had many things to do even now.
So when Hope concluded the parking procedure and got hold of her bags, the girl proceeded to make her way towards the entrance of the main building, her genuine anxiety rising just a little from within her chest the more steps she would take towards the beginning of this next step in her life.
The one that should cement her start in adulthood and introduce her to the improvement of her natural affinity, her melodious singing voice that Lady Ambar herself had said was quite beautiful to listen to as she sung some of her own songs.
Of course it wasn’t going to be an easy path to success since becoming a singer was quite difficult nowadays and… her main objective made things even more important for her.
Singing was… meant to lit the hearts of people, to bring them peace and joy, to give them hopes and dreams against the dreadful obstacles that life offered to those that dared to achieve the most ambitious futures in this big and varied world.
A hum started to build up in her throat, her nervousness urging her to at least whisper some of her songs as to soothe her excitement and yet she held herself from doing so.
The reason why the young Prime decided against it was standing right by the building’s entrance and was now waving at her with that gorgeous smile of his.
A White Tiger Prime with blond-hair and light-green eyes, wearing a half-sleeved blue t-shirt a pair of black jeans.
Shin was already there, with his own bags lying by the floor nearby and looking to be quite excited himself of making his first steps at Prism.
It wouldn’t be a lie to say that the son of the Crest of Light was one of the smartest young men in his generations… if not for several of those before him.
A lovely bookworm that would also show no hesitation in learning some bits of social life, balancing himself between books and experience while managing to get through numerous adversities without breaking a sweat.
A testament to this impressive intelligence of his was how he had managed to skip enough grades to reach her same school level, his interest in studying for long here at Prism Uni having been a subject of various conversations in the last few years but… 
This was incredibly surprising and oddly lucky for her.
She had the chance to conquer his heart, and maybe get a stronger relationship going. 
Her first romantic relationship to that and… she had to give her best!
The only issue about this matter was the age gap. 
While she was 19 and legally an adult before the laws of the Kingdom, Shin wasn’t.
Having celebrated his sixteenth birthday just four months ago, he was still considered a minor and thus… not someone she could approach with a complete relationship.
Which was bad because she really wanted to get together with him ever since their first few encounters thanks to their families meetups.
With her mom being a good friend with Kate Aryoko, it was quite common for them to have some time to spend around together ever since they had met each other.
But she was still forced to deal with the fact that she needed to wait at least two more years to see and try some serious attempts.
An annoying circumstance that faded when she was around the lovely person that was Shin.
The younger Prime was smiling as she got close enough.
“Good morning, hope,” He greeted eagerly and she couldn’t help but smile herself at his giddiness.
“Hello, Shin,” Hope replied mirthfully. “I see that you can’t stop shaking at the chance of diving into some new books.”
He snorted. “I-It’s more than just ‘new books’, Hope,” The young man replied with faux irritation. “It’s about getting to know some of the most renowned professors and scientists of various subjects all reunited in a single place.”
The girl nodded, knowing well-enough how this was the kind of topics that would get him this much interested in the world. Studying and… studying.
There was nothing wrong in being an intellectual and it wasn’t bad enough to become a nag for her, so she merely grew accustomed to his own hobbies just like he did start to appreciate hers.
They were still close friends and as such they both learned to respect their respective merits and flaws after so much time spent together.
It felt just so natural, yet it didn’t felt as accomplishing as the great idea of trying to break through and… form a romantic bond with this dense Prime before her eyes.
A pity that he failed to catch her subtle hints.
But there was also another instance of discomfort about this static sensation over their bond.
“Is there something worrying you?” 
This. This was another issue.
Hope blinked, her eyes widening a moment as she realized how she had been zoning out from the conversation until now.
Her cheeks flared red and she gave a quick shake of her head. “N-Not truly- Just thinking about the  fact we are… the last one waiting there.”
A smile replaced his worried line and he blinked away to stare away from her. 
“Well, I thought this too but-” He pointed at where he was looking at and the girl shifted her sight in that general direction, noticing two approaching figures. “It seems like this isn’t the case.”
Surprise filled her as she had indeed thought that they were the last ones for the ceremonial event and her shock grew a little more when said individuals got close enough to properly see the details of their appearance.
One was a Cat Prime that was giddily being the lead of the duo, dragging his own bags in his hands with ease while following closely behind was a human, also a male, quite winded by the paced speed they were both going at.
The human had short, curly dark-hair and a pair of light-blue eyes that just looked a little… mesmerizing.
He was wearing an open half-sleeved red jacket with a white shirt and a pair of dark-brown baggy pants.
“Seems like we got there just in time!” The Cat pointed out with a happy smirk. “And I didn’t have to park close just like you wanted-”
“I would have appreciated not having to go through another march after the little marathon of mere minutes ago,” The human interrupted with an annoyed voice.
“Then you should have set up an alarm like you told me a while ago!” He shot back with a long sigh, gaining a huff from the human as he turned his attention back at the two other Primes. “Still, it’s good to see a fine lady and… her little brother?”
Hope felt her lips twitching at that familiar comment, having heard of people mistake Shin as a younger sibling or cousin and the young man was quick to reply to this.
“Actually no, I’m one of the first-year students,” The fellow feline answered with a polite smile. “And I’m actually surprised you need to bring so many bags at once, did you ask your friend here to-”
“Nah, he is a student too.”
There was a moment of silence, and Hope was quick to pick up the issue on her own. 
Both Shin’s and her eyes widened in surprise as they turned their attention back at the human, a little red hue on his cheeks at the embarrassing focus he was receiving.
“I- Surely there had to have been a mistake-”
“I-I had to triple-check to make sure it was right, so no mistakes,” The dark-haired man replied with a hesitant shrug. “Mom decided to sent the form with picture and all other details, ending up to get the acceptance letter.”
To add further legitimacy to his words, he slowly went to pick up the plasticized Student ID from his pocket and… it was a real one.
“That’s quite the unusual circumstance,” Shin admitted with some awe. “But I don’t think there is truly a Prime-only restriction over students trying out to access to Prism.”
But it shouldn’t be as unique as it was if it was the case. 
She had never heard of a human managing to sneak in as a student to Prism Uni and she was fairly sure that her mother had mentioned that there was actually a ‘Prime-only’ restriction to the enrollment.
Maybe it was best to give her a call once the ceremony was over.
“By the way, we almost forgot,” The human intervened with a softened tone of voice, devoid of any of the annoyance she had listened in it. “This here is Miles Lionheart,” The Cat Prime gave a flashy smile but the friend was already pointing at his chest. “And I’m Frankie Parker.”
“My name is Shin Aryoko and it’s nice to meet you.” 
The White Tiger Prime gave a little polite bow before turning his attention to her and… she sighed.
“I’m… I’m Hope Ravenhurst,” She introduced herself with an uneasy tone, causing Frankie to frown.
“Did we say anything wrong?” The young man asked with a concerned voice, her green eyes widened when the other guys looked at her with different degree of worry, making her blush a little more.
“N-No, it’s just that I- I didn’t expect to make some friends today and… I’m still nervous about the ceremony.”
Shin nodded kindly while Miles gave a silent shrug-
“There is something else,” He guessed with an intrigued tone of voice. “Something got you by the edge.”
The girl tensed up, panic surging at the possibility that her little annoyance over her little time with Shin having been ruined by their presence to come up so suddenly and without warning.
But instead of pressing for that moment of weakness, Frankie leaned back with a sheepish expression.
“I suppose I might have sounded a little bit unpleasant a while back with Miles but… we are good friend-”
“Frankie here is my first buddy!” The Cat Prime said while lightly nudging at the human’s shoulder. “And while he sound a little exasperated, it’s because the moron decided to wake up early without an alarm.”
“I thought going back to sleep earlier than usual would have done the trick.”
With this curious diversion, Hope’s mind momentarily forgot about the close-call and she found herself fascinated by the explanation provided by the human.
“But that doesn’t work as a method,” She said with a calm tone. 
“I know,” Frankie replied with a little whine. “But I was tired for the Jetlag and I was being dumb and prideful about it all.”
“B-But,” The young woman paused as she had her free hand reach for her lips, trying to contain a burst of giggle from leaving. “That sounds incredibly awful.”
“Yet you are smiling,” He pointed out with a fake pout. “And I see you’re not nervous right now.”
Surprise reappeared on her face, but she quickly blinked it away at this realization. 
“And I think we should also get going,” Miles said while looking at the watch he had on his right wrist, “Just two minutes to begin the ceremony and all of that so we better get going.”
They all shared a nod and entered inside the main building, while Hope’s mind continued to ponder over this situation.
Not only did she was happy because Shin was here too, but also now she got two new friends so suddenly.
Miles looked a little over-confident, but overall a nice guy and… Frankie was nice.
The sole human did seem to sport some real concern when she tried to deflect the attention she was getting over her little annoyance but it was nice to see him back away without pressuring her too much.
What an odd beginning for her first day here at Prism University and…
The day wasn’t over just yet!

AN
Little experiment. I want to say that this story is not connected to ‘The Golden Month’ and, while I do have a storyline that spans for several chapters, I’m unsure if this will be continue without feedback.
I would love to listen to any advice, comments or anything in general as I feel like this story is quite interesting since it focuses on quite the curious timeline that one of the comics tried to explore before getting discontinued.
