Part I: The New Girl

"Matt!"

Yamato Ishida heard a shout from behind him just as he was walking down the corridor towards his English classroom. He turned around and saw his best friend Tai running through the crowds of kids behind him.

"Matt! Wait up!"

Matt stood still in the middle of the walkway and waited for Tai as instructed. Matt did like his friend, but sometimes he just got on his nerves with his being so excited and positive ALL the time.

"What is it Tai?" Matt sighed as the crowd died down and Tai was within earshot.

"Just wait for me, we have English together, right?"

"So, do we really have to walk in at the same time?" Matt had a short temper and so wasn't in the mood to deal with Tai.

"Well, I don't wanna walk in by myself. I have a reputation to think of!"

Matt just stared at him wondering how he could be so shallow. Tai was slightly smaller than him and had the hugest mass of brown hair that you've ever seen, with matching chocolate-brown eyes. Those eyes were usually full of life and shining with Tai's pure spirit and twinkling with energy. Matt reluctantly agreed to walk to class with him and trudged alongside his bounding friend down the remainder of the corridor. They had just sat down in their seats next to each other (they were sat in alphabetical order) when Tai was told to move by their English teacher, Mr. Homosaki.

"Why me?" He protested as he shuffled along to the next table.

"We have a new student to our class today, and her name fits in between Ishida and Kamiya." Mr. Homosaki explained, "Class, I'd like to welcome Xi- Mae Jinoka." (pronounced Zee-May, just in case you were wondering!)

A petite girl wandered into the classroom with her head down in embarrassment. Matt yawned. She heard the sound of his yawn, snapped her head up and stared straight at him. Matt refocused and looked at the new girl. She was small, with her medium-length red hair up in a high ponytail and blue eyes like himself. She was wearing a pair of denim dungarees with a baby-pink T-shirt underneath and some sneakers. He continued to look at her until she struck him with that stare again, he was obviously in her bad books already for yawning at her.

"Please take a seat next to Yamato over there." Mr Homosaki directed, pointing to the empty seat next to Matt. Xi-Mae scowled and walked over, dumping her things on the desk and making it shake with the force.

"Hi." Said Matt in standard greeting mode, while forcing a smile just to be nice.

"Whatever…" Replied Xi-Mae without even looking at him. She just unpacked her rucksack and ignored him for the rest of the lesson, even though Matt continued trying to be polite to the new girl. In the end he gave up and wondered why she was so mean to him, it can't have been just the yawn, she just plain hates me. The bell went for the end of class so he had to walk out with Tai, so as not to "ruin his reputation". Xi-Mae stormed out of the room grabbing her books in front of her and holding them tight to her chest. She deliberately bumped into Matt and Tai as she stalked through the doorway.

"Hey! Xi-Mae watch where you're going!" Tai shouted after her, but she kept on walking. That's it, thought Matt. He went to grab her arm as she walked past, but as soon as he touched skin-to-skin with her a sort of electric shock echoed up his arm.

"Ow!"

"Ow!" They both sprang back in alarm and stared at each other.

"Xi-Mae, what did you just do?!" Matt asked her.

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything, YOU did something." She retorted, "I bet you rubbed your hand against something to give me an electric shock. How dare you!" With that, she stomped off again and into the hustle and bustle of the corridor, where she disappeared out of sight. Matt just stood there, confused and turned towards Tai, who was staring open-mouthed at him.

"What are you looking at?" He accused.

"What was that, Matt?" Asked a bewildered Tai.

"I honestly don't know. Let's go, I need to get home, I'm sick of this place."
