Lost in Anime

-Part Two-

"When I wake up in the mornin' and my alarm goes off…um…um…I know I won't make on time! By the time I grab my books and I give my self a look, I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus-fly-by!"

A recognizable voice ran through the halls as Makenzi bent down and reached for her 'Health' text book. A strand of her blonde bangs fell out of place and she quickly pushed it aside and she proceeded down the hall.

"It's all—right, cause I'm saved by the be—ll! If a teacher pops a test I know I'm in a mess, and my dog ate all my home work last! Ridin' low in my chair; she won't know I'm there! If I hand it in tomorrow, it'll be ALL RIGHT!" Makenzi looked up and her eyes widened as Sadie ran down the hall and slide to her knees in the rocker pose.

As Sadie jumped to her feet, Makenzi burst out laughing, "Sadie! Gosh…Loved the music!"

A smile grew on Sadie's face, "Of curse! Any time, Mak. I rock to Saved by the Bell" Mak made a fist and reached out for 'the pound'. Sadie did the same and their fist hit each other's lightly and the burst out laughing together.

As they walked to Sadie's locker, waving and saying "Hey!" to any of their 'acquaintances' as they passed by, Mak thought about how she had first met Sadie way back in elementary school. Sadie had changed extremely since then. She wasn't the prep she had once been. This reminded her of what Sadie decided to recite when a silent moment arose at one lunch period only a day before.

Mak had been sitting at their normal spot with her friends, Ashley (a twin with Amanda), Dunn, Sam, and Sadie herself. They had been talking about what they were going to do when they stayed at Amanda and Ashley's house. They had talked about going to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Beginning and then continuing the night by playing 'boo tag' at about ten o'clock P.M. in the trailer park where the two twins lived. Then they all had gotten in a heated argument about Kyle.

Kyle had once been a strong part of their little 'group', but lately he had bribed his way into being friends with one of the 'others', Sadie liked to call them. In Mak's opinion, Kyle was no longer in the group and was from then on shunned. But Sam wanted to keep trying since he did not want to be alone in gender, being the only boy other than Kyle in their click.

After the argument died glares could be seen from each side of the circle table. Sadie picked this moment to pipe in and say in a 'oh my gosh' tone, "God." Sadie stared off into space, "I was so normal before I met you, crazy people, I call best friends…" Then she sighed.

Every time Mak thought about this, it brought a smile to her face. She glanced over at Sadie who had stopped to say hi to Kristin, a new girl from a town near theirs. Sadie always bothered her about dressing so much like a little Catholic, innocent girl. But in fact, Kristin was Catholic which Sadie found funny.

When Kristin first came, Sadie made fast friends with her since they sat next to each other during Algebra. Mak had made friends with her at C.C.D at the Catholic church.

Mak's smile widened.

Mak was Catholic too. It was so funny how in their group there was so many different personalities and religions, even all their styles were different. Mak dressed like an athlete and almost always wore sweat pants with sneakers. Her hair was usually pulled back in a pony tail and she occasionally wore a hair band around her head to keep her bangs out of her face. She played Volley ball, Soft ball, Basketball, and what ever other sort she felt like at the time. She was also Catholic.

Ashley was Amanda's twin sister but only looked some what alike in Mak's opinion. Ashley wore athletic shorts and was a sports freak like Makenzi but never really played any except softball, which she loved. Ashley could usually be seen wearing a sweatshirt printed with her favorite team's logo. She rarely went to church and Mak couldn't even remember what church she belonged to but that didn't really matter. Ashley was also kinda perverted. In fact, Ashley's pervertedness had rubbed off onto Makenzi and then they both had infected Sadie with the disease.

Amanda, the smarter twin and the geekyest of the group. She could always be found with her face in a book. Amanda's style was very much normal and she would just wear things that fit and were comfortable and always wore her hair down. She was chubby, but all the girls in the group some what were. Amanda had been born a Christian but as she grew older she decided Judaism was the way for her so she decide to be a Jew, not like any one was going to stop her. She was also into Japan and every other oriental country and into weird cartoon crap which was called 'Anime'.

Mak sighed at the memory of Amanda and Sadie going on and on about 'anime shit this' and 'anime shit that'. They hardly ever stopped talking about it.

Dunn or Dunny or also known as Amanda. Yes, there was two Amandas in their little group. Sadie some times called Amanda, Amanda but most of them called her Dunny. Makenzi had made it up when she had really hated Amanda years before. Dunny stood for 'Dumb Bunny'. Amanda obsessively talked about her millions of rabbits every day of every year and a few times it had pissed of Makenzi so much she had wanted to strangle her. But lately, Dunny and Makenzi had been getting alone with no harsh words passed. Amanda usually wore old looking jeans which where some times to short for her and a normal sweat shirt with no logo. Her hair was ALWAYS pulled back.

Sam was one of the only boys in the group. He was some what nerdy but didn't really look like a nerd, he just had a big head. He was also very personal on his views. Hell, they all were. Sam liked to say he was a socialist but not like Hitler or any thing. He believed the government should be ruled by the people. Like Sadie repeated from a movie one day, "The people should not be afraid of the government! The government should be afraid of the people!" Sam usually wore gray sweatshirts and cargo pants of many colors.

Kyle, the 'once was' of the group was richer than the other and used his money to his advantage. He some times acted gay but really wasn't, according to Sam but to the girls, he was. He was one of the fattest of their hole grade and wore large t-shirts and shorts all the time.

Sadie was the one with the some what sense of style. She wore every thing. Sadie could pull of any look if she tried and she knew it. She never just wore one style. She would miss and match and almost always looked good. She was a tom boy and a girly girl. She was emo, punk, prep, ext. She did them all. Mak had stopped trying to label her years ago. She never could keep up with what Sadie was doing next. Sadie was involved in Student Council, 4-H, Cross Country, Basketball, Youth Council, Track, Choir, Show Choir, Musical, and play while still working a job. Sadie would rack these off in speeds unknown to man. From what Sadie told Mak, Sadie's future would consist of FFA, Debate, Key Club, and Art Society plus all of the above. Sadie was so involved, make couldn't understand how she was able to do it all and with a smile on her face.

Sadie was out there. Different. She was addicted to music and listened to all kinds. Sadie loved to day dream and always made a day at school more fun than it would be other wise. Sadie was…Well, Sadie was Sadie.

Today, Sadie was sporting her favorite pink 'Converse', blue jeans, and a bright red 'Coca-Cola' vintage T. She was also wearing a dark, thin green army jacket around her waist wear Mak could see Sadie's signature black belt that she wore practically every day. Her long, dark, curly brown hair was pulled back half way with bangs falling down near her eyes. Sadie was also wearing a black sweat band with the character 'Gir' on it from some cartoon show. She wore a chain necklace with dark pink music note earrings.

Sadie turned from Kristin and waved by to her as she shuffled over to Mak, "Hey Home dog, lets bounce and find the other."

"Why not." Mak said back with a smirk as they started off again.
