Chapter 1

Wednesday February 24 – School – 5th Period

"God that girl is so annoying! Who does she think she is? How dare she consider

herself equal to me! She thinks just cause she sits beside me she has the right to talk to

me? God, it fuckin pisses me off!" Ryoki said standing beside his best friend Asuza.

"Well it pisses me off that you can't shut up about her. She's the only thing you've

talked about since she moved here! Give it a break already," Asuza said annoyed.

"How can I forget it? She's in three of my classes and in every one she has to wave

and smile at me as if I were her friend. Man, I'm the most popular guy in school – she

should realize that she's not in the social class to talk to me. And last week when I skipped

math she actually brought my homework to my house. Said it was on her way home. My

mom almost invited her in. if people ever found out about that I'd be done for," Ryoki

said.

"God, just shut up about Hatty and do what you're supposed to be doing and keep

watch. I'm almost done," Asuza said spray painting the words Life Sucks on the west side

of the school building.

"Her name is Hatsumi – not Hatty. And I am watching so finish up so I can go

back to religion class," Ryoki said glancing around. He knew they'd never be caught.

Even if anyone saw them vandalizing the school they'd be too scared to tell. Ryoki and

Asuza were the most popular guys in school. They were leaders of the gang Eternal

Domination. Well really Asuza was the leader, Ryoki was just important because he

happened to be Asuza's best friend. Every kid was wary of them and tried to suck up and

kiss their asses. Every kid except Hatsumi. That's what bugged Ryoki the most. When

Hatsumi was around him she was herself. Most other girls put up some fake image of

themselves, thinking that that's what he wanted to see. And he enjoyed it. It made him

feel superior that he could control these girls and make them into someone they weren't.

"Done. Okay let's go," Asuza said stuffing the spray can into his pocket. "You

sure no one saw?"

"Yes I'm positive. Okay see you after school," Ryoki said. He walked back into

class and sat down. The teacher didn't even ask why he had taken so long in the bathroom.

He smiled. Even the teachers were afraid of him.
