"Bye Mom! Bye Dad!" Kori Fujiwara called out as she walked out the door on the way to school. She sighed in contentment.
"Hey Kori! Wait up!" came a voice from behind her.
Kori cringed. She knew that voice. She hated that voice She turned around reluctantly. Yep, there he was. Her neighbor.
Kakeru Manabe.
She looked at him, twitching angrily.
There he was. Grinning like the idiot he is and always will be.
"Heya, Kori! Let's walk to school together, k?" said Kakeru.
"Never. I'd never walk anywhere with you." She said, quickening her pace. He matched it.
"Awww… Don't be like that, baby…"
She fwipped around immediately.
"Don't EVER call me that, you pervert!" She exclaimed, running now.
"C'mon! I have a panda keychain…" He teased, a sly smile spreading across his face. He knew she couldn't resist pandas.
She came to stop.
"I can't believe you would stoop so low…" She looked at the ground. "Even after what you did…"
xxFlashbackxx
9 years ago, when Kori first moved in next door.
A small girl, wearing sandals, a calico skirt, a turquoise tank with a panda on the front, her hair in two ponytails with a panda clip on each one while clutching a small panda plushie. She watched as the movers unloaded boxes into the new house.
Next to the driveway, a boy with messy black hair and a soccer ball watched. The wind blew and the soccer ball rolled by the girls' feet. She looked down as the boy came running.
"Hey!" he said, "Ya movin' here?" She nodded. "You're pretty cute, ya know that?" said the by grinning as he saw a faint blush tint the girls' cheeks.
The movers kept moving boxes.
"Except for all the pandas. They're really stupid animals, ya know." The girl's eyes widened and brimmed with tears. She ran into the house, leaving a confused boy with a soccer ball in the driveway.
xxEnd Flashbackxx
"You're still cryin' about that?" asked Kakeru, "Geez…" Kori kneeled on the ground. (Remember, she still hasn't faced him.) "Wha-?"
She quickly fwipped around and threw a rock at him, taking off as quickly as she could.
He caught it, of course and chuckled as he watched her run.
"I still got it…" He thought.
At School….
Kori leaned over her art book, drawing yet another one of her masterpieces.
"You draw very well, Miss Fujiwara." She looked up. There was Yuki Sohma. She turned back to her art.
"If the flying pothead sent you, tell him to leave me alone." Yuki smiled.
"Ah. You know of his ways then?"
"I've been his neighbor for 9 years." She replied, not looking up.
"I see." Yuki walked back to Kakeru.
"Well, Yun-Yun? What'd she say?"
"Well… she wants you to leave her alone and she called you a flying pothead." Said Yuki.
"Ah, my baby has a pet-name for me! How cute…" Kakeru went all loli-shota like Momiji. Yuki sweatdropped. The bell rang for lunch. Kori grabbed her stuff and rushed to her locker.
"Hey, she left her art book." Noted Yuki. Kakeru grabbed it.
"This is a job for… BLACK!" he exclaimed dramatically.
"……" Yuki stared as Kakeru ran out of the classroom to who knows where.
Kori was putting her books in her locker when he realized her art book was missing.
"Oh no! Where is it?!?" She thought in despair.
It hung in front of her face.
"Looking for this?" said Kakeru, masculine. She glared.
"Give it back." She said, reaching for it. He pulled it way.
She reached again.
He pulled it away. Again.
"I'll give it back to you go on a date with me…" He said. She stopped.
"Keep it then." She closed her locker and began to walk away.
"C'mon baby…" She fwipped around.
Her fist made contact with his head and she ran.
"You can't keep running forever…" He thought, chuckling.
After School…Lucky for Kori, Kakeru ha student council after school so she could walk home without any disturbance.
After finishing her homework, Kori decided to sign onto IM to see if any of her friends were online.
Kakeru's room… (He's also on IM)
pandafreak27 has signed on.
Kakeru smiled.
Back at Kori's House…Message to pandafreak27 from BlAcK43.
BlAcK43: Hey lover
"Oh no…" Kori groaned inwardly.
pandafreak27: wat do u want, flying pothead? i'm NOT giving u answers 4 hw.

pandafreak27: finally
BlAcK43 has signed out. Kori sighed.
"Good riddance…" she thought.
EbonyKnight has signed on.Kori's eyes lit up.
EbonyKnight was her dream guy. Her match, her soulmate.
But she didn't know who he was.
All she knew was that he went to her school and he was kind, sensitive, and caring.
But it was enough.
EbonyKnight: heypandafreak27: how u been?

EbonyKnight: June 23rd. 3:15 behind the school gym?
pandafreak27: ok! c u then!
EbonyKnight has signed out. pandafreak27 has signed out.
Kori plopped onto her bed, smiling.
"I'll finally be able to meet him." She sighed contentedly and fell asleep quite happy.
The Next Day…Kori walked happily to school. Of course, after running away from Kakeru. She wasn't on the track team for nothing. When was she got to school, she was greeted by her two best friends, Ellen and Shana.
"Heya Kori!" exclaimed Shana.
"S'up?" said Ellen.
"Hey you guys! I'm so happy! Guess why."
"You won the lottery?" tried Shana.
"Nope."
"You got a pet?" guessed Ellen.
"No…" Kori shook her head.
"You won the lottery?" grinned Shana. (Just saying it because she knows it'll annoy Kori.)
"NO!" Kori exclaimed, then lowered her voice to a whisper, "I'm going to meet EbonyKnight! Their eyes widened and they glomped her.
"Omigosh!" exclaimed Ellen.
"We're so happy for you!" squealed Shana.
They became serious.
"Just in case he's some Internet freak, we have the ultimate defense!" said Shana. Ellen held up a stylish purple purse.
"It's loaded with the essentials." Explained Ellen.
"Pepper spray, beeper automated to call 911 and our numbers, spikes to put in your heels, tracking device in your belt, and an electric shocker." They said together. Kori sweatdropped.
"I-it's okay… I really don't need it…"
They stared.
And stared.
Then stared some more.
"Really?"
Kori nodded and they sighed in disappointment.
"Okay… if you're sure…" Kori nodded again. The bell rang and they headed for their homerooms.
