A/n: heya!! Warning, this chapter may contain some air-headed bimbo bashing XD (Mind, the Mischievous bitches, err, I meant Backstabbers, actually existed in my old school.)

Chapter one : Enter the players.

Somewhere on earth, Smpihm school festival, 7.00 am,

Jacynth yawned as she followed the spectacled girl in front of her. "Tell me, Meow, for the fifth time why on the bloody earth you woke me up on 5 o'clock in the morning again?" she reached up and patted her wild green hair down.

The spectacled girl turned around and smiled wickedly at Jacynth. She had light-brown eyes and untamed shoulder length black hair. "That, I think, is because I had to work in the haunted house until 2 p.m and you had to work with Nadia at the fortune-telling booth the whole morning so I thought maybe we should spend sometime before our shift starts."

"Gawd!!" Jacynth pulled out a paper fan out from nowhere and starts banging Meow's head with it. "I" bang "am" bang "totally tired" bang "after working the whole night" bang "and after hoping for a good restful night of rest" bang "you appear outside my doorstep at 5 in the morning" bang "which I remind you, an ungodly hour" bang "and dragged me bodily here" bang "just to play with me!!" crash "Yesshh! I warned you. You better buy me breakfast, lunch and tea, hear that?!" bang. An ungodly swears and a torn paper fan, Jacynth appears out of the scene happily, dragging a scruffy girl from the place.

"Okay, okay. I hear the 4A's having a crepe stand somewhere around here. How about I treat you some hot blueberry crepes, ne?" Meow pulled her hair into a ponytail as she walked around the corner one of the stands and then stops, causing Jacynth to crash into her.

"Now what? Oh…" Jacynth looked at the scene. Both of them saw a group of girls surrounding another girl, obviously bullying her. Jacynth glanced at Meow and sighed when she saw that glint in her eyes, as Meow walked toward them.

"What do we have here, eh? Oh I see, a group of sluts bullying a girl who won't break up her boyfriend." Meow smirks as she pulled up her white school blouse sleeve, clenching her fist as she pushed into the group, to stand in front of the girl they were trying to bully. "Hi, Leanne. Didn't expect you here. Where's your boyfriend?"

"He's here, somewhere, I guess." Leanne had long black hair that model in shampoo commercials always had and creamy brown eyes. She was currently standing, leaning against the water balloon stand, the students from 3B's cowering at the back, staying away from the table, obviously doesn't want to do anything with the fight outside their stand.

"Nice day aren't it, good for the festival." Meow said carelessly.

"Stay away from this, Cat, before you get hurt." A girl said, obviously the leader. Meow looked at the girl, observing the girl's brassy brown hair and her fake green eyes, (contact lenses…) and sneered.

"I really like that hair color of yours, Azyrinn, it remind me of a prostitute. Suitable for the group name, what was that, yeah, I remember," Meow punched squarely at the girl, "Mischievous bitchs."

Everyone gasped; another girl lunged at Meow, who casually slapped. "You little brat, runt cat." Another girl yelled.

"Tsk, tsk. For your information, I'm 16, hardly a brat but runt cat? Geez you guys never give up." Leanne duck as Meow pulled a bucket full of water from the table (someone forgot about it) and splashed the girl that insulted her.

Someone appear at her blind spot and tackled her down onto the muddy floor and without wasting anytime, the bullies' starts to kick her around the ribs, Azyrinn casually step on her hand.

A fist suddenly flew out from nowhere onto Azyrinn's face, leaving her with a black eyes. Jacynth jumped into the brawl, pulling Marla (the girl who tackled Meow) from the floor by her braid. Meow pushed herself onto sitting position, as she watched another girl; Mira pulled one of the bullies from hurting Leanne. Two more girls appear, punching and kicking the bullies. Meow turned around when she saw Jacynth were pushed onto the ground, groaning. Meow pulled out one of the metal poles lying around on the table, and gave a mighty poke at the tent before she jumped away, dragging Leanne with her as cold water; result from yesterday down pour splashed the bullies.

Crackling, Meow swung the metal pole back and forth and sang out cheerfully, "Who wanted a taste of this metal pole?"

It would have been a second round except when a tousled black-haired boy appears, calling out, "HEP is on their way here." The Mischievous Bitches, err, Backstabber squealed and took of before the teacher arrived.

Ms. Didi ran into the scene scowling. She saw Meow, who was looked scruffy, her white blouse with mud and her tousled hair were filthy with mud. (The others was hiding behind the booth) She grimaced. "Okay, someone tell me what happen here?"

Meow smiled sweetly. "Umm, I fell and wallowed in the mud?" and groaned as she listened Ms. Didi yelled at her. After Ms. Didi warned her about carelessness and walked away. Meow wait for a while then knocked onto the table, whispering, "Wei, she's gone. Go on out."

5 girls and the tousled-haired boy appear from under the table. Jacynth's normally dyed light green hair was muddy, Leanne was wet but the other was fine. Mira, the girl who helped Leanne, had shoulder-length black hair and creamy brown eyes smiled gratefully at Meow. "Thanks for saving Leanne back there."

Meow grinned, and then winced as Dylah punched her back, "Idiot. I couldn't believe you got in a fight without me." She said as she pushed back her spectacles, then patted her short black hair with purple highlights.

The last girl opened her mirror and looked into her reflection. "That's her alright. Meow can't stay out from trouble, even if she can help it," she smiled, snapped shut her mirror and gave both Meow and Jacynth handkerchiefs.

Meow sneaked a glance at Jacynth, and then groaned as Jacynth started to bang her head. "That happens when you don't mind your own business."

"Okay, okay. Double treat? I didn't mean you guys!" Meow said in alarm as she saw everyone was smiling at her rather sweetly. "Damn…there's goes my money then…"

--

"Give me a double chocolate crepe and a double blueberry crepe. Yeah, you guys better buy crepes under 2 each cause I haven't got much money left." Meow said as she watched the others checking out the menus. Bored, she let her gaze roamed and saw a quaint stall, not far from the crepe stand. "Hey guys, I'm going to check out that stall for a while," Meow pulled out her purse and extracted out a couple of dollars and gave to the tousled-haired boy, "Rey, here's my money, use it to pay the crepes, okay?"

--

"Cool. Can I root in here? Meow stopped at the second-hand stall, and poked at the books that were stacked there."

The 2A student only grinned then carried a couple boxes behind the stall, adding, "Sure. I think that box near your legs had stuffs under a dollar."

Meow grinned than happily "root" into a box and found an old book with a lock, a deck of cards, an orange hair scarf, a Japanese hair tie obi and two leg bracelets. Enthralled by her find, Meow asked the girl, "How many did you say the stuff cost again?"

Without even turning, the student said a dollar each, and after choosing a pink barrette (2) on the table, Meow slammed $5 onto the table triumphed and spin away from the stall, when she crashed into another person. Groaning for the something time, Meow rubbed her head and looked up to find Mrs. Kay, one of the teachers used to teach in SMPIHM smiling down at her.

"Why Meow, didn't expect to see you here?" Mrs. Kay helped Meow up after putting the box she was carrying onto the table. "I was just sending some stuff I got from the place I worked, matter of fact, here; I was going to look for you to give you these." Mrs. Kay pulled out some booked by Eion Cofler and Isobelle Carmody and smiled as Meow jumped up and down happily, "Oh, down forget, here I have some bookmarkers from one of my colleagues from England. She told that if you can find all 21 of these, your wish would come true. Of course, that's just a myth." Mrs. Kay pulled out from the box 10 weird bookmark, each one with its own symbols and patterns. Meow smiled widely and after thanking her repeatly, she walked away, stowing the books and the bookmarkers into her bag, not knowing the lock on the old book she just brought disintegrated as soon as her hand accidentally touched it and a glowing green cross appears. Nor that she knew something fantastic is going to happen to her and her friends.
