Snowy123456789: We haven't talked in forever! We need to keep in touch!

XxXThe little demonXxX: Thanks, but, I must admit, I already had this OC made about four months ago-added more to her character as I went on with the story. And I'm sure you could make an OC with just as much detail if you work on it!

Life as we Know it

Chapter 1

They're all animals!

"Okay, I just have to walk in there, and go to my classroom… that's not too hard," I told myself with a bit of worry. I looked at the doors before me. "Well, now or never I suppose."

I walked into the building and looked around. I then walked for a bit to check out my surrounding. After a while, boys started to stare. I shifted my eyes around the school wildly, sighing a bit. I tried to find my classroom, but I couldn't find my way around the building. Boys were asking me questions left and right and-as you could probably guess-I ignored every single one of them. I didn't feel like being harassed by a million and one people, especially boys. It gets really old. It makes it worse that I look "adorable" and "nice" as everyone puts it. I hate that people just automatically think I'm nice just because I have a baby-ish face. It's annoying.

Suddenly, a very cute boy walked up to me, snapping me back to reality. He had lilac hair, and glittery amethyst eyes. He stopped in front of me and stuck his hand out.

"Hello, I'm Yuki Sohma. Are you the new student to class 2-D?" Yuki asked. I nodded and stuck out my hand, intending to shake his, but he pulled me along swiftly. I cheeks turned a bit pink from this. I'm not very good with skin-to-skin contact with boys I don't know. It's a bit embarrassing to me...

Yuki let my hand go and slowed down to walk beside me.

"Sorry that I just pulled you like that. I don't know when the bell will be ringing and I didn't think you'd want to be late on your first day. I was actually sent to retrieve you and bring you to the classroom."

"No, it's fine. You didn't do anything wrong."

As we walked down the halls, girls glared at me; I didn't know why, thou. All I knew was that I felt a little bad for not giving Yuki my name.

"I'm Suzuka Minakota," I told him. Yuki turned and smiled at me. I blinked. A boy could be this nice without flirting? That was surprising.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Minakota." I smiled at him as we made our way into the classroom (Gotta look charming, right). I had already guessed that he was in my class, seeing that he said sensei sent him.

He walked me over to a girl who was spaced out in a corner. It seemed as if she didn't even notice we were there. So, Yuki took it upon himself to fix that.

"Honda-san, this is our new student," He said, as the girl snapped back into reality. She didn't look very happy. At first I thought it was because she didn't want to talk to me, until she started freaking out about not paying closer attention. I told her it was no big deal, but she just kept apologizing. That is, until Yuki calmed her down by saying, "This is Suzuka Minakota-san. I thought you two would be great friends, so I brought her to you, Honda-san."

Tohru and I stopped with our little conversation and bowed to each other, her bowing more than I did.

"Hello, I'm Tohru Honda."

When the bell rang, I moved back over by the door, for I didn't have a desk yet. Mayuko-sensei came in and looked at me. She smiled small.

"Hey, you're the new student, correct?" she asked me. I nodded. She motioned for me to come over by her desk.

"Students, this is the new student. Please tell us your name and a little about yourself." I looked at the class and smirked.

"Hey, I'm Suzuka Minakota… I play the guitar, I love listening to music, I live with my mom and little sister, my favorite animal is between a dog and a cat, and I babysit," I said, trying to shake off my attitude by talking. Why do I have an attitude all of a sudden, you ask. Well, everyone is staring at me. That's a big no-no.

"Okay, you can take the seat behind Tohru. Tohru, raise your hand," Mayuko-sensei said, as Tohru's hand shot up. I smiled at her and walked past some students to get to her. I tried to ignore what the boys were saying, but it was difficult.

"Look how cute she is," one of them said.

"Yea, she's adorable," the other one said. I just sat behind Tohru with a sigh. I hate boys sometimes.

The rest of the day went by smoothly. I went to my other classes with ease and just said the same thing I did in the first period to the classes. A lot of the boys were saying things like, "Sweet, I have another class with her!" and others were saying, "Man, I wish I had more classes with her". I was relieved that I had most of my classes with Tohru and Yuki. I thought it was kind of weird that they were always in every class I was in together; I didn't have a class that only had one of them. I actually am kind of regretting having math without them because Shio-sensei is a total pervert. I think he tried to touch my ass when I walked past him to my seat.

When lunch time came around, I talked to Tohru the whole time. Turns out, Yuki and Tohru don't really talk. He really did just bring me over to her because he thought we would hit it off. She shared her lunch with me, seeing that my little sister ate my (amazingly prepared) lunch while I was using the bathroom. She does things like that sometimes. But it's okay, because Tohru's lunch tasted like heaven.

This went on for a couple days. Me rarely talking to Yuki, who I learned was the 'prince' of the school, and talking to Tohru all the time. I brought my own lunch, and, in my opinion, Tohru's always tasted better.

Finally, I got the courage to ask her where she lived. At first she looked hesitant. She then sighed and looked at the ground.

"I can't tell you… I'm so sorry!" She said, looking at me. I laughed.

"No, no, it's okay. I'm fine with it. I wouldn't want to tell someone like me where I live either."

Tohru tried to convince me that she didn't mean it like that, but, really; I only said that to tease her. I guess I'm not a very good joke teller… or she just freaks out a lot. Either one makes sense.

A couple weeks later, I guess Tohru worked up the courage to tell me where she lived, for she told me during lunch break. I was shocked at first.

"You live with boys, seriously," I asked her. She nodded; cheeks red from embarrassment. I then smiled small. "That's pretty cool."

Her eyes snapped up to meet mine; vacating the spot on the floor she was staring at, "Really?"

"Yea," I said, "I've always wanted to live with a boy, but I've never had that much patients for them."

Tohru smiled at me. "It's actually really fun! I just moved in today. I hope it's alright if I don't tell you where I lived before the prince's house."

Yea, she lives with Yuki now. That's one of the reasons I was shocked.

A couple weeks later, I was talking to Tohru after school. Yuki had already gone home, and Tohru and I accidently stayed in the classroom longer than we should have. When we started on our way home, I forgot that I was headed home, and I wondered to her house, deep in the forest.

"I'm sorry, I'll just go home," I said with a sigh. Tohru shook her head.

"No, no, no, it's my fault for not telling you sooner that you were headed the wrong way! I should have been paying closer attention," Tohru squeaked. "Why don't you come in?"

I nodded my head a bit and walked into the house. Almost immediately Yuki caught sight of me, and I waved with a tiny smirk. In reality, I was embarrassed that I followed Tohru home. I should really start thinking more often.

"Ms. Minakota, what are you doing here?" He asked. I bit my lip and made myself look embarrassed. It's always good to try and look cute; it gets you out of trouble.

"Uh, well, you see…" I said, wanting Tohru to take the lead and let me stand there to look embarrassed. Oh the things I come up with.

"Sohma-san, I invited her in! I'm sorry, I know I must be annoying you right now, but can she stay? Just for a little bit," Tohru asked with her hands together in a begging motion. Yuki smiled. That's a good sign, right?

"Listen, Honda-san, you are not annoying me," Yuki said, making Tohru sigh of relief. "Minakota-san may stay for a while."

Tohru beamed. I guess she really wanted me to stay.

"Thank you, Sohma-san, that's very kind of you," Tohru smiled, grabbing my hand and walking me through her house. We were about to go up some stairs, when a handsome man came walking toward us. He had black hair and slightly brownish black eyes. He was wearing a greenish grey yakuta, and had a small, devilish, smile.

"Hello," The man said, "I'm Shigure Sohma, Yuki's older cousin. Just out of curiosity… do you happen to be a high school girl-Ouch," Shigure squeaked as a book collided with his face. Yuki sat on the couch looking innocent (He threw the book), and Tohru pulled me up the stairs before I could even process what just happened.

There wasn't really anything in the room; just some white paint, obviously for the walls, a big bed with a pink comforter, and a dresser. Tohru and I sat on the bed and talked for a little while. Yuki then came upstairs and walked over by the window. He opened it and let in some much needed air.

"So, is there anything you girls need- CRASH!

Tohru and I shrieked from surprise as we jumped off the bed and ran over by the door. The roof was caving in and there was so much dust and bricks and stuff that we couldn't even see Yuki!

When the dust cleared, there was a handsome boy with orange hair and red eyes standing on the pile of roof. Did he really just break through the roof?

"Time to pay the piper, rat boy, I'm here to collect," the boy said. I giggled a bit, and, thankfully, the boy didn't hear me. That was actually a pretty good line. I wonder what Yuki has for him-

"Funny, I thought they'd send somebody bigger."

Hmm… Yuki's got comebacks.

"Yea, yea, get your tough talk out while you can, cause I'm about to wipe that smirk right off your-face!" The boy said starting to run at Yuki. I gasped and ran for him, Tohru started after me. I lunged at the boy, forgetting how good of a jumper I am. I almost got him, when Tohru slipped and fell, wrapping her arms around the boy's waist. Suddenly, he disappeared in a puff of smoke, and I got blinded. I messed up my jump by bending my legs and wiping my eyes, so I started falling to the ground. Suddenly, I heard my name being called and I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I fell on to something squishy, and then smoke puffed into my face and around my body. I coughed and, as the smoke cleared, I heard Tohru screaming about turning something into a cat. It couldn't have been that boy… could it?

I was about to thank Yuki for saving me, but when I lifted up my arms, I was holding a rat!

I turned to Tohru to see her shaking an orange cat around in the air. Shigure was in the doorway with a helpless expression on his face.

"Oh, so I guess Kyo is back…" He grimaced. I blinked at the little rat.

"Sohma-san… can it really be-

I started, but got cut off by Tohru jumping up screaming.

"Oh, my, gosh I turned him into a cat, I'm sorry! We have to take him to the vet and get him help- Bam!

A block of wood fell from the roof and smashed into Tohru's head. I fell into a state of shock. Tohru started falling to the ground in a goofy manner, and I jumped into action. I ran at her, keeping the rat firmly in my hand. That is… until I slipped on some wood and fell on to Tohru, who fell on Shigure. A puff of smoke shot at mine and Tohru's face as Tohru fell to the ground, effectively taking me with her. I felt something smooth in my hand. I looked at it to see that it was a tail… a dog's tail.

Tohru and I jumped up and started screaming as we stared at the dog, cat, and rat in the air in front of us.

"Tohru-chan," I squealed, "there all animals!"
