Background: Uhhh…well I'm not sure about names so I won't be using last names.
Rika: age 14. Ryo: age 15. Grade 9th [] means thoughts
***************************************************************
Rika reminded herself for the third time that morning that walls do exist and running into them is painful. Not being a morning person can have several disadvantages. First, you may not notice solid objects because you are not fully awake. Second, you are too tired to thing of a second reason to be angry so you proceed to return to a zombie-like state until you run into something again, or until you actually WAKE UP! Back to Rika. She was going to her first period class (science) and did wake up when she remembered that she had homework. [Crap!] In a state of panic she looked for a person to copy the assignment from. (Actually doing it would be absurd! And require energy) unfortunately she was not the only one who forgot the homework and therefore not the only one on a hunt for a paper that was complete. Rika scanned the room. The only person who did the assignment and had a paper out that was done was…Ryo. [Shit! I really need a B in this class too.] Swallowing her pride, (The size of a football.) she walked up to Ryo casually.
"Ahem…err…um…you know that homework we were supposed to do? Well I lost my book and um… If I could see your work I would be soooooo grateful."
"Okay"
"Really!?"
"For your phone number."
Ryo thought he his situation was in very good shape. Even though he had a not so small crush on Rika there was still the fun he had in seeing her fidget.
"Grrr…fine! Here 123-4567. {The author is being really lazy here.J}
"Why thank you miss, I think that is a deed worthy of the homework that you are so sorry not to have completed." Said Ryo, smiling in a sly way and laughing to himself.
Rika took the paper from Ryo and hastily copied down the answers.
It took a while for the class to realize that the teacher was taking a while to get to teaching. About five minuets after the final bell rang a girl walked in behind the teacher. At first the girl looked shy and well mannered. That lasted about 0.000000001 seconds. She practically defined the Brittney Spears song "I'm not that innocent." And dressed like the pop star as well. Rika poked Ryo in the ribs and laughed.
"She should be arrested for public nudity." But there was no response from Ryo at all. He seemed awe-struck at the girl wonder. As Rika looked around the class she realized that so was every other male in the room.
"Hi I'm Helen." Said the new girl. The teacher sat her on the left side of Ryo. (Rika is on the right.) She looked at him and giggled. Ryo was obviously the best looking gut in the class. Rika noticed that she felt a small anger towards the girl. She shrugged it off because she didn't want to hate her before she met her. Or was it because she felt a little jealous of her. [nope. Never]
Some how during the course of the class Helen was able to get Ryo's number and throw away Rika's all without letting go of Ryo's arm once. Rika glared distastefully at her. Okay so she hadn't met her but she was being a… well a mean person and let's leave it at that.
After class Ryo walked away from Helen and over to Rika.
"Hey you're walking pretty fast."
"Hmm"
Rika was not in a talking mood and wanted to hit Ryo for reasons unknown to her. She did decide however that she now officially hated Helen.
"Uh…so that Helen, she is pretty cool huh."
"Hmm." [Grr.]
Ryo thought about his next words carefully. He needed help and wasn't sure he could get it. Rika knew him best and she would be the best help in this case.
"So…I…I need a favor from you. {Not sure of the grammar here} You see, I umm…need you to play matchmaker for me."
Rika frowned. This was not her day. The fact that Ryo hadn't talked to her the last class gave up a lot of time to think. She'd concluded that she maybe had a tiny thing for Ryo. Just a little. She had no idea that up until the arrival of Helen Ryo felt the same way. Or that if they had just said so they could have started something. How cruel the world is sometimes. But oh well.
"What do you want me to do?" said Rika giving up. She assumed this was some kind of joke or something. Ryo would never ask her help on girls. Would he?
"Ah…well um…Helen."
"No need to say more." Sighed Rika. It seemed to her that he was serious and whether she liked him or not, she wouldn't forget what he did in the digital world and he was a friend.
[But, if he's only a friend…why does this feel so wrong]
"I'll see you tomorrow, bye." She said quickly and walked off.
[What's her problem? Must be a girl thing.] Thought Ryo.
He could have danced at the thought of being with Helen but he didn't want to run the risk of scaring people. (He can't dance.)

Uhhh…Is that a cliffhanger or not? I don't know.
