I hope you enjoy this story... people who have read it on my gaiaonline account (Sakir aka Hotaru) have enjoyed it.

Inspiration just came to me one day. Another 30 min trip somewhere there and back daydreaming about my anger that just seemed to be building with my lack of patience.

Then came in my friends, based here in the book, clearly by the way they act. :

I love you Morgan and J.T.

The anger inside me is frightening.

It seems like I'm being ripped out of my skin.

And my heart is being exposed to cold air.

It protests violently, bursting into flame.

A cold trickle of sweat lingers on my forehead making me shiver...

A split second.

So murderous I almost crushed the table that is now roughly clenched in my fists. I slowly pry my hands away and lean back to catch my breath. My head is pounding, and I look over to see her staring at me. I am alarmed that her reaction does not show the least bit of surprise. Her eyes flashed and I flinched, slowly ripping my gaze away from hers. The bell rings and I rush outside without a coat on, to be greeted by ice cold air, at which I shiver slightly but keep walking quickly on. A snowflake falls on my arm but it melts quickly. I took my hair out of its ponytail and quickly parted it as I walked to my locker. Now, what do I need for homework... uh... Algebra II book, check, European History binder, check, Chemistry book, check. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and a hand touched my shoulder.

A small dirty-blonde girl greeted me, "Hi Sakir."

I glanced at her and smiled, "Hey Jade." I put on the other shoulder strap of my backpack and started walking as she followed quickly.

She muttered quickly into my ear, "You really should control yourself better. I saw that in class, I almost killed you right then and there, it would've been easier then getting found out. You are such an idiot sometimes Saki."

I rolled my eyes, "Guess I'm only smart when it comes to books, go fig."

Jade scoffed and steered my roughly to her car, I paled, "You're driving today?" She nodded.

My eyes widened, "I'd rather run." She glared at me and pushed me into the passenger seat as she dove neatly over me and turned on the car in one smooth motion.

I looked over at her and muttered, "What happened to not doing anything unnatural?"

She pursed her lips, "No one was looking."

She took a double take at me, "You know, if you keep letting your hair down and keep putting on make-up some stupid mortal boy will fall in love."

I raised an eyebrow and looked down at myself. It's not that I looked bad, but I didnt think I was that eye-catching. I looked over at her, if anything she was the one I needed to worry about. Her blonde hair caught in the light and her blue eyes were a pleasant gray tint, she was of small stature and I rolled my eyes, "If anything I have to worry about you Jade."

She scoffed and kept driving, she took a turn too hard and I almost flew into the side window. I yelled, "JADE! WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING WOMAN!"

She rolled her eyes and swung into the driveway. I fell out of the car and laid on the ground, "Oh dear god... thank you for saving my life."

Jade walked around the car and stood over me, "For the love of god, you are such a pussy."

I growled and followed her as she walked inside, "... I am not a cat."

I enjoy comments/constructive critique/grammar catching etc.

I don't care if it's just "that was good."

I love it when you send me crazy comments.

I hate it when you ask me to pick up on my speed of writing (that just gives you shortened, not well written plot throwers)

I'm a straight A student with lots of extra curriculars. Please no more pressure. thank you.
