It was a pretty normal day at school today. My friends and I were outside, fooling around and laughing. They couldn't help but stare when Kari was about to pass by. "What's up with that girl? She looks like a teacher!" said my friend Mai. All my friends couldn't help but snicker, as she came closer. "Hey Kari, read any good fairy tales lately?" Kari smiled confidently and said; "Yes I have." Kari walked away, and my friends couldn't help but laugh. I was playing along, and laughed too…just a little though.

Yes! School was almost finished, and I haven't gotten in trouble all day. After that, I could just get home, and have some time to relax. Or maybe, I would hang out with my friends. I caught a glimpse of my friends in the hall and went to them. "Hey T.K, wanna go pull a prank on that new guy?" One of them asked. "Or maybe we can chill at the mall." another added. Suddenly Kari approached us. "So, I'll be at your house same time?" Kari asked. My friends were staring at both me and her. Uh-oh, they didn't know she had been tutoring me. I thought to myself. "What the heck is she talking about, T.K?" one of my friends asked. I stopped to think about what I was going to say. "I don't know, this girl is just crazy!" I said grinning. Kari frowned. "I thought that there was a kind person underneath that rebellious popular interior of yours, but I guess I was wrong." She said, and walked away. My friends started laughing, I was still grinning. "Man, that girl is crazy!" one friend said, as they continued laughing. I felt sort of bad. But, I bet Kari wouldn't mind.

The very next day, Ms. Onoda kept glaring at me. "I hope you have been studying!" she said too me. "Yeah, whatever." I answered. Only one more period, and school is over! I thought to myself. It was Friday and I just had to get out and party! I entered the math room, and Ms. Onoda was holding a pile of paper. Once everyone was seated she shouted out "Surprise math test!" and began handing out the papers. Students groaned, and sighed as she handed them out. I took a look at the test. The questions looked like exactly what Kari had been tutoring me on, Damn teacher, she was fooling me all along. I would have aced this test, if I had actually paid attention to Kari, that is. Time seemed to pass by slowly. This test was hard! I groaned in frustration and dug my hands into my hair. I HATED math, and that was all there was to it. Thirty minutes had passed and Ms. Onoda yelled out "time's up." I admit it, I was worried for the first time about a stupid test.

Ms. Onoda began marking the tests right away, which was strange because she would never mark tests in class. Suddenly the bell rang. I jumped out of my chair and headed for the door. "Hold it right there Takeru!" she called out. "Everyone else may leave, and you Takeru… please take a seat. "What did I do now?" I asked. "You got a 3% on your math test." I grew silent. "Have you've been studying, I gave you a great student to be your tutor!" "Well it's her fault, she.." Ms. Onoda cut me off. "No Takeru, it's your fault. You haven't been paying attention have you?" "Well I…" I stopped, and noticed that Kari hadn't been in school all day. "Where's Kari?" I asked. "Kari's at the doctor's, she's…" Ms. Onoda suddenly stopped. "What? What happened to her?" I asked. "She's just went for a check-up, that's all."

I was still curios about Kari so I decided to drop by her house. But it wasn't only curiosity that brought me there, Ms. Onoda figured I still needed tutoring. Geez! I stopped at her house, a bug brown house, with perfectly cut grass and flowers in the yard. I rang the doorbell. Her big brother, Tai opened the door. He had the same brown hair as Kari, except it was bigger…yes way bigger. *ahem* "Hey, aren't you the imbecile who egged our house last Halloween?" Tai asked. "No," I said and began whistling. "Oh well, I got back at you anyway." he said grinning. "That was you!?" I asked. "Anyways, what do you want?" Tai asked crossing his arms. "I'm here to see Kari." "Come in." I entered and Tai went to Kari's room, to call her. I saw Kari come out of her room; walking slowly torward me. She looked like she had a cold. "What do you want?" Kari asked. "I still need some help tutoring." "But I'm just some crazy girl, REMEMBER?" "But I didn't mean it…" "OUT!" Kari yelled, walking back to her room. Tai showed me out the door, and slammed it. ARRRRG! I groaned.

I made a decision, I would apologize. It was my only hope of passing the last year of high school. After that, no more school for me! I went back to her house and banged on the door. This time Kari opened it. "Uh, hi." I said practically stuttering the words out. "What do you want now Takeru?" I came back to say s-sor…" "Yes, I'm listening…" "I'm sorry." I said. (Man that was hard.) "Finally." she muttured. "Come in." I entered and followed her to the living room. I flopped down on the couch, as she headed to the kitchen. "Do you want anything to eat?" she asked opening the fridge. "Nah, it's ok." Kari sipped on her juice and opened the books. This time I would pay attention. I said to myself.
