Underneath

AMU POV

"Get out of my way you nerd!" One of the Jocks said to me in a not so friendly tone, then he shoved my books to the ground. Tears in my eyes, I started to pick them up, when a hand touched mine. I looked up to find the soccer legend Kukai helping me pick up my books.

"Why are you helping me? I thought you "popular" kids wouldn't pay attention to a nerd like me?" I quizzed.

"Well maybe I'm not like all the others," he answered and handed me my books. We got up and dusted ourselves off.

"Thank you," I whispered and resumed walking to my class. I was put in the nerd catogory because of my thick, foggy, glasses and really unattractive clothing. My parents would not give me clothes that were attractive and my style. Also I was smart. When I walked in Nikaidou-sensei's classroom it was like i could hear everyone mentally booing at me. Then I heard someone calling me.

"Hey Amu-chan sit here next to me and Rima-chan!" Kukai ushered. Everyone looked at him with disbelief. I was even shocked. I had no other place to sit without being picked on, so i took up his offer. Once I took my seat Nikaidou-sensei walked in. For once I couldn't pay attention to sensei and just drew in my journal.

Time Skip - Lunch Time

I really hate how people just see my glasses and clothes and assume I'm not attractive at all. Why can't they just get past that part and actually get to know me before shuning me? I was in deep thought untill I heard someone behind me and then had the humilliating look of a spaghetti monster. I yelped and then everyone was laughing at me except for Kukai and Rima. They then got up and started to help clean me off. I could just feel the anger building inside me.

"HEY! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR, I MEAN REALLY WHY ARE YA'LL BEING SO HOSTILE TOWARDS ME!" I screamed while tears made streams on my face.

"Whoa the nerd has feelings I wonder what would happen if IT got the chance to swim in the dumpster!" the jock named Tadase sneered.

IKUTO'S POV

I felt a little bad for the girl for three resons. 1- She was being picked on by guys. 2- I had seen her without her glasses on and she was actually beautiful. 3- It was Tadase who had the upper hand. Tadase could be horrible at times and even just plain evil. I was put in the "goth" catagory for reasons I don't know at all. The people who thought of all these catagories were really prejudice. What if I just was really quiet? The girl just ran out crying, I wonder how her parents treat her?

AMU'S POV

I just ran out of the cafeteria crying until I ran into someone. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of the fall, but there never was one. I opened my eyes and saw who had caught me. He had midnight-blue hair and almost the same color of eyes, also he was really tall. I would guess he was in 7th grade.

"Hello? Who are you?" I asked. I had never seen him around school, so i was curious.

"My name is Ikuto don't you remember?" he questioned.

"Ummm no I don't remember. Am I suposed to know you?"

"When you were 5 and I was 6 we were best friends. It's ok I just remembered."

"Oh yea I remember you now Ikuto!" I said and smiled then Kukai and Rima showed up. It was kinav awkward because well I was still in his arms.

"Rima-chan, Kukai-kun!" I said franticly.
