A/n: Hey all! I decided to write a new story featuring me and my friends Sarah, Billy, Sam, Mike and Conner!!! Yay! And here's Sarah to complain about it!

Sarah: I don't wanna be in one of your angsty stories Lin-chan! I'm not an angst type of person! I like horror!

AGW: =P oh well! -

Story Title: Providence's Irony

Chapter Title: The off Topic English Assignment and Through the Portal

Story Summary: The day had started out so normal too, I had gotten detention for Saturday morning, a note home for a parent teacher conference, and the new DBZ graphic novel was arriving at Borders that weekend.It was so exciting at first, being here, a place I never dreamed being actually able to go. But now...I'm worried we're going to be stuck here forever, and it's all my fault.

Quote: Have you gone this far... in another's shadow?

-------------------------------------------------[Lin's POV]

"Oh dear God, he knows! He knows and I can't deny it! He's learned my secret, my most hidden secret! The thing that had kept me distant from everyone, labeled me a freak. And now he knows, the best and only friend I've ever had, and he knows. Dear God, help me. Help me, please!"

Sarah looked over at me flatly; I smiled sheepishly before turning my head back to the teacher reading my English assignment to the class. I looked around the room to see the dazed faces of my classmates, 'Idiots' I thought to myself, 'My writing certainly cannot be that hard for their eighth grade minds to comprehend.' I glanced over in the direction of Mike, he had stayed back a grade because he had spent most of last year in the hospital after getting in a car accident. Mike was making faces at Conner, who looked about ready to pee his pants. I glared at them, immature as always.

I glanced out the window and immediately became distracted by two squirrels chasing each other up a tree; I began to think of the one thing that is usually on my mind, and really the only thing that mattered in my dull life, Goten. I began to run my fingers through my short red hair, a sure sign that I was out of it because I hate touching my hair, it's just a really ugly color.

"Miss Idishi, I can't seem to find what this work of fiction has to with life during to Middle Ages when it seems to take place in not only an alternate reality, but the future." Mrs. Samson said placing the paper on my desk and snapping me out of my daze.

"uh, umm..." I said, trying to come up with an excuse. Her crinkled face curled into a sneer.

"Here's something for your report card, strictly refuses to stay on topic." Everyone in the class started to snicker except me and Sarah.

"You know, you're a very bitter person, do you think that's why your husband left you Mrs. Samson?" I said without thinking, quickly covering my mouth with my hands after it was too late.

"Linacre Idishi! Go to the principal's office now!" She yelled, pointing out the door and making it seem very final. I quietly stood, trying not to smirk even though I was going to a very horrid place; as a walked past Mike and Conner they gave my a silent applause, I grinned.

"Linacre Idishi! Go to the principal's office now!" I said in a mocking tone as I walked home with my small group of friends, Sarah, Billy, Sam, Mike and Conner. Billy and Sam giggled, their only in sixth grade so we usually have to fill them in on our classroom antics.

"So that's what that screaming was." Sam said straightening her bag over one shoulder, Billy laughed, resting her head on her twin's shoulder, "We could her it in the gym as we were leaving."

"I was only saying a well known fact, she's just over sensitive" I shrugged, slapping Mike's hand away from the pocket in my bag that held the note home, but Conner came from behind, grabbed it and held it up in the air.

"Dear Mrs. Idishi, we are sorry to inform you that you child, Linacre Idishi, has received another detention. If it would not be too difficult for you, we would like to see you for a parent teacher conference Tuesday, June 2nd. If you are unable to attend please contact me at 617-764-8926 or send in a note with Linacre. Sincerely Mrs. Petunia Samson." He read aloud. Everyone started to laugh as I blushed slightly, grabbing the note from his hands.

"It's not my fault Mrs. Samson hates me because I can write better than her! She gave me a detention for sneezing once during a test!" I said, stuffing the note back into its pocket.

"Besides, we'll be rid of her for a week while we're in B.C. with Mr. Becker" Sarah sighed dreamily as she took a soda from her bag and unscrewed the cap. Mr. Becker was our art teacher; he was taking us to the Museum of Fine Arts or something in Canada for the week, he was actually quite attractive for a teacher. I smiled knowingly to the ground before looking up to the clouded sky.

"It's going to rain all weekend," I said grinning, "Oh how I love the rain"

"You and about three other people Linny-chan" Sarah said as we stopped in front of the elementary school as it was letting out, "I have to go get my little brother, be right back" she ran into the mob of fifth graders through kindergarteners as we patiently waited to the side.

A few minutes later Sarah came back with dragging Zach by the collar, "okay, midget secured, now what?" Just then a few drops landed on her nose.

"We remove our shoes and socks and frolic freely in the rain?" I suggested. Conner, Billy and Sam rolled their eyes, Sarah smacked me upside the head playfully, Zach snorted his disgusting ten year old snort and I sighed.

"Sure" Mike said, I glanced up at his face; he's a lot taller than the rest of us because he's older.

"It was a joke Mike"

"I knew that"

"Sure ya did"

Shut up twerp"

I looked up to sigh again, but I noticed something...falling...this way...FAST! I poked Sarah on the shoulder. "What is that?" I asked pointing to what looked like a hoola-hoop falling towards us. Everyone looked up at it, now about twenty feet above our heads.

"It looks like a giant ring..." Conner said in aw as the rest of us stared.

As it came down slower we stepped away a few yards. Up close it looked like a giant gold ring, standing up-right, and where you should be able to see through the center, there was a shining material. It looked like water, and would change colors every few seconds.

"W-what the heck is that thing!?" Mike managed to spit out finally after what seemed like a millennia.

"I don't know..." I mumbled. I watched Sam reach her arm out for it, I tried to push her hand away, but I couldn't seem to move. As soon as she touched its shimmering surface, it went black, then as fast as it had blanked out it seemed to turn all the colors of the rainbow at once. We were pulled inside with such great force my feet were off the ground; inside it looked like a something from a bad dream. Complete darkness except a small light, that seemed to be the thing pulling us the hardest, I say this because all around there were winds that seemed to have the prime intent to tearing us to shreds.

All the sudden I felt very tired, someone grabbed my arm but I didn't have the energy to see who it was. I feel asleep into a dreamless sleep for what seemed like years.

A/n: So that's the first chapter, please tell me what you think, two reviews before I continue. BTW, better title ideas are also welcome Ja ne minna-san!
