A/N: I can't believe I started another story! *groan* this is my first (real) attempt at a first-person narrative. Please R/R, tell me what you think of it so far. Peace.

I stood there, helpless, as the cloud of darkness hovered over Kari's unmoving body. I couldn't move. It was like I wasn't even there. I tried to shout out to Kari, but I couldn't make my mouth form words. Slowly, the black cloud descended and enveloped her. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. The mist soon disappeared, and Kari's body was nowhere to be found.
I fell to the ground as the ball struck my head. The coaches whistle rang through my ears as I felt a pair of hands roll me onto my back.
"Dude, TK! You alright, man?"
I nodded to Kane as I tried to sit up. My head throbbed. That dream had been haunting me for over a week now. I shook it off as I got back into the game.
--^-Kari-^--
I sat, eating my lunch of tacos and burritos. In a few minutes, TK's gym class would be out and they would come to lunch. I took a bight of my sloppy burrito and beans plopped onto my tray. Our lunch lady has a very annoying habit of trying out foreign foods for lunches. I swear, she just does that to annoy us.
The sound of laughter interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see TK entering the room, followed by Kane and Jiro. Kane Allens is an American who moved her last year. He has blond hair, but his crew cut is so short you can barely tell. He's best friends with Jiro Okano, who is Japanese and is always wearing black and red.
"Yeah… and then Ken said to me-- Hey, Kari! Hellooo! You listening to me?" Yolie snapped.
"Oh! Sorry." Yolie had been talking for the past fifteen minutes, so I had eventually zoned out on her. She was almost finished with her last taco, and nothing remained of her burrito.
A small thump at the table made me turn around. "Hey, Kari." Takeru said as he sat down. Kane and Jiro sat on the other end of the table, eyeing their food as if it would jump off of the table and bite their heads off. It was obvious they were joking around-- Kane was never serious and Jiro was smart enough to know what was on our plates. Another normal day.

I sat, packing a duffel bag, while Matt snored loudly. I picked a sock off the floor and walked over to his bed. He woke up after a good slap across the face.
"Tai you idiot what the heck did you do that for?!" he screamed in my face. I waited for the ringing in my ears to stop before I replied.
"C'mon, Matt. If we don't finish packing, the break will be over before we even get to Odaiba." We were planning on going back home to visit our families. Kari had seemed upset when I left for college, but after a while she seemed more content with my moving. Unfortunately, I got stuck with Yamato in the same room. Oh well.

I practically bit my pencil in half as I tried to figure out the problem. I was always smart at math, but Mr. Yamamoto was a hard teacher.
That's hard with a capital "h".
I was almost finished with the question when he said, "Time. Turn your papers over. Don't worry if you didn't complete your test, there will be plenty of time to finish after lunch."
I made it to the cafeteria just in time to see TK sit next to Kari. Yolie, Jiro, and Kane were there, too. But I could tell I wasn't the only one who saw them.
"Darn you, TL." Daisuke muttered. He was two people behind me in line. It was hard to believe that even after all these years; Davis still had a crush on Kari.
I glanced up as I got a good helping of Mexican food on my plate. I almost never got Mexican, and when I did, it was usually Mrs. Kamiya's infamous "spinach tacos". Yuck!
Instead of sitting with TK and all them, I sat with the people on my grade level. It's against "social laws" for a senior to sit next to juniors.
--^-TK-^--
While Kari was looking away, I playfully snagged her burrito and put it on Kane's tray. I got her attention with my normal "nothing's wrong" whistle, known far and wide through the whole school as something I did after I played a prank on someone. Kari turned to look at me, and I guess she caught a glimpse of her missing burrito through her peripheral vision. she glared at me, and I laughed and took the burrito from Kane's plate. Kari playfully punched my shoulder and got her food back. We all laughed and continued eating.

Hello everyone. I was going to just launch into the story, but as this is the prologue and everything (and I couldn't find a way to end it without a cliffhanger), I decided against it. Also, TK's dream in the beginning won't be explained for around ten to fifteen chapters from now (groan), so don't pester me about it. Please review. Peace.
