"Damn bus, damn people, damn mud, and DAMN TEACHERS FOR GETTING PISSY ABOUT PEOPLE BEING LATE!" I ranted as I roller bladed at the speed of light down the side walk. I bet your wondering why I'm cursing everything and anything I've come into contact with this fine morning.

I'm cursing the bus for 2 reasons: it left before I got on it, and as it was passing me, it splashed mud, and gunk and god knows what else all over me from a puddle that shouldn't even exist since it hasn't rained in like, 2 weeks. So, I had to go home, change out of my uniform and put on my normal clothes and hope to god that they'll look the other way when I tell them my predicament. So, I curse mud for that as well.

I'm cursing people because they keep getting in my way as I make my mad dash to my school. People should just make a path for me when I'm in this kinda mood, or else get push into on coming traffic. Their choice.

And teachers, well, most teachers hate any and all students who show up late, so I shouldn't have to explain myself on that one.

I skidded to a stop in front of the gates that led to my school and kept going, roller blades still on, into the school.

Have you ever roller bladed into a private school that, not only prohibits dress code violations unless in an emergency, but also you get detention if you so much as run in the hall? Yea, well, it's a sure fire way to get suspended if you go to said school, or get the cops called on you. But as luck would have it, no teachers got in my way as I made my way to my class room on the other side of the junior high, leaving the halls completely barren except for the few unlucky ones who had been going to the bathroom this morning, only for me to run over their foot, and leave them in the dust.

Ever crashed into a classroom head first going almost 50 mph? yea, not fun…especially for the Spanish teacher that got the heart attack. And you think I'm joking huh?

The ambulance was here to pick him up 20 minutes later.

"You actually gave him a full blown heart attack. I don't believe you! Why were you on roller blades anyway?" my friend, Yuui Hondo, exclaimed as the ambulance drove away.

"Cause roller blading is heck of a lot faster then running, and I needed speed…but I guess my stopping skills just aren't as good as they used to be." I stated simply as I pulled off my skates and replaced them with my converse.

"You CRASHED into the door! You completely obliterated the front of the class room! You're lucky no one got hurt!"

"Alright MOM, I'll make a mental note to myself to give my apologies to the probably now dead teacher."

"PERCY!" a voice squealed just before I was attacked from behind and forced to the floor.

"You're my savior! You really are! If you hadn't given Mr. Shin that heart attack, I would have had to hold my desk above my head for the rest of the day!" You turn your head to see your best friend, Miaka Yuki, giving you a smile so big she practically glowed with happiness.

"Glad I could assist the needy" I huffed as I shoved her off of me and brushed myself off. "But I must say, had I known what the outcome would have been, I wouldn't have bothered to come here after the damn bus soaked me."

"Is that why you're in civilian clothes today?" Miaka asked as we made our way to the new classroom we would be staying at until ours was fixed and our teacher got out of the hospital.

"Yea; my mom's gonna flip when she finds out about this though. It's the third time this month I've had to go to extremes to try and not be late." I sighed in despair. I was always late it seemed, and honestly, I hated being late [hence the roller blade incident] and this really wasn't the first time school property had been damaged. There was this one time whenever I had to high-jack this…err…well, that's a long story.

The rest of the day was uneventful. The class was questioned, of course, on what happened, and thankfully no one ratted me out. I was in the clear by the time school ended.

"I still can't believe you didn't get caught!" Miaka exclaimed as her, Yuui and I walked to the train station.

"Neither can I, I thought for sure someone would rat me out." I stated "Maybe I'm just extra lucky today!"

We all stopped for something to eat and ran into Genko and Hiromi [totally fake, but I didn't know their names, sue me! Genko is the fat one and Hiromi is the one with the braids] we started talking to them too as we continued on our way to the train station.

"I still can't believe someone could actually crash into a classroom and get away with it." Genko stated.

"Dumb luck maybe" I said simply.

"And just before you crashed into the classroom, Miaka got sent into the hall way for hitting the teacher upside the head with her desk!" Hiromi exclaimed, making Miaka look down, ashamed.

"Seriously?" I asked, looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"Yea, but it's his fault for waking me up!" she said defensively.

"Yea and we were reviewing for exams no less! They aren't going to let you into Yotsubadai (sp?)"

"So?" Miaka exclaimed "I don't want to go to Yotsubadai."

"Then what's your first choice?" Hiromi asked

"Jonan" I and she said in unison.

"WHAT?"

"You mean Jonan, as in the best school in our district Jonan?"

"Is there another one?" I mused, walking backwards, my roller blades hung on my shoulder, and my book bag was in my left hand as I fiddled with my skates' lace.

"Have you consulted your brain about this?" Hiromi asked, looking at Miaka skeptically.

"What about Yuui and Percy? They wanna go there too!" Miaka exclaimed

"Well, that's a whole different story altogether"

"Why is it different? Why?" Miaka exclaimed.

"Because I'm a genius and you're stupid?" Yuui teased

"Or because the only thing that you think about in that head of yours is food and shopping…but mostly food" I said as I paid for my ticket.

"Are you guys really my best friends?"

"I think I am"

"You know it! We're besties bitch, through thick and thin!" I exclaimed as I flung my arm around her neck.

"Come on you corn balls, come with me!" Yuui said as the other two left to go to their own train.

"Why, where we goin Yuyu?" I asked, using her old nickname.

"To the national library!" How someone can act so chipper about a library is beyond me.

"That sounds like you. Alright, I'll admit it; you are the second smartest person in the whole school Yuui Hondo!"

"Who's first?"

"Why me, Persephony Hiroshima, of course!" I exclaimed.
