Jamaly woke up and stretched out onto her bed and yawned. Her mother just happened to be passing by and heard her.
"Jamaly, dear... You awake?" Jamaly turned her head to her door.
"Barely..." She giggled. Then a thought came to her and her eyes widened as she saw the time. She quickly jumped out of bed and ran to her closet to get changed. She grabbed her backpack and ran out her bedroom door, almost knocking her mother over.
"Jamaly, honey, what in heavens name is the hurry?" Her mom asked worried.
"Huh? Oh I was supposed to meet Yumi and Akira... About an hour ago... I have to go! Love you, bye!" She took off running while her mother watched her, laughing silently.
Jamaly ran down to the playground by her school to see two kids sitting by a tree. One was a girl with an anorexic body. She had long blonde hair and bright green eyes, and was sitting with her legs arched up and her arms wrapped around them. The other was a fairly muscular boy. He had dirty blonde hair with streaks of red in it. He was laying back on the ground with his arms behind his head. Jamaly runs over to them. "Yumi! Akira! You're still here!" The boy, Akira, sat up.
"Ugg... Finally!" He sighed. The girl, Yumi, threw a crumbled piece of paper at him and hit the side of his head.
"Shut up... Jamaly!" She smiled. "What took you so long?" A small blush of embaressment appeared on her face.
"I was sleeping..." She smiled shyly.
"Sleeping?" Akira stared blanky. Yumi glared over cracking her knuckles. "Joking! Geez..." Yumi calmed down a little. She looked at Akira.
"What do you say we ditch him and have a girls day huh?" She smiled and laughed. Jamaly laughed as well.
"Well he's my friend too. I can't just leave him." They both laugh while Akira glared at them both.
"Say what you will and laugh all you want... I've gotta go anyway... I promised I'd help with lunch." He crossed his arms and began walking off. Jamaly ran up behind him and hugged him. He grunted and stumbled forward slightly.
"Buh-bye Aki!" Akira's eye twitched.
"What's with the nickname?" He asked after she let go.
"I dunno." She smiled up at him. "Its just cute." She giggles and Akira rolls his eyes.
"Alright I've gotta go. Catch ya later." He waves his hand and Jamaly waves back. Akira walked off and Yumi walked up to her.
"So what are we gonna do?" Yumi asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Well... We could always go shopping." Jamaly smiled brightly. Yumi laughed and crossed her arms.
"I should have guessed. Well lets go." They both laugh as they walk to the nearest store. They went in looked at a few cute shirts, grabbed some pocky, payed and left. "Well we weren't there long." Yumi said with a piece of chocolate pocky hanging out of her mouth. Jamaly smiled, opening her box of strawberry pocky. Yumi looked at her watch and gasped. "Is it really that late! Jamaly are you gonna be ok on you're own? I was supposed to meet my boyfriend a half hour ago!" Jamaly blinked a few times, staring up at her.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She smiled. "You know Yumi... I really have to meet your boyfriend one of these times." She laughs. Yumi looks at her.
"I'm sorry Jamaly..." She hugs her tightly. "I really wish I could stay longer."
"No it's ok I understand." She smiled and waved. "You'd better get going. Don't wanna keep him waiting."
"Thanks for understanding. I'll try to see you later." She smiled and waved. "See ya!" She yelled running off.
"Buh-bye!" Jamaly answered back. Jamaly then sighed. "I wonder if I'll ever get a boyfriend..." She thought aloud. She looked up to see a group of boys walking out of the store. One in particular caught her eye. He wore a black shirt with a black zip-up hoodie that was half way zipped. The hoodie had a flame design on it. He also wore baggy dark blue jeans and a hat with a design that Jamaly didn't quite understand. It was the letter 'D' with some dragon looking object. She looked a little confused at that. Like the rest of his outfit the hat was black, with a white design. He wore his hat turned slightly over his left eye. Black hair spiked out of the back part of his hat. Jamaly walked over to him and the other two boys and waved smiling brightly. "Hey everyone. I'm Jamaly! You guys look really really cool so I, um... I was just wondering if I could hang out with you for awhile..." The group just laughed at her and turned away. A blonde spikey haired boy turned to the boy with the hat.
"So... Kohaku... Is she your girlfriend." He laughs hard. The boy looks at him rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, get real Rylikk..." The three boys walked off laughing. Jamaly just stood there, watching the boys walk off. She went home and sat in her room the rest of the day, wishing that she could have a friend that would always be there when she needed someone to talk to, someone who wouldn't laugh at her or say bad things about her. She sighed as she laid back in her bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
