"Who is that?"

"Isn't that the girl who beat sharpener up?"

"Yea, that girls ugly. No one really likes her"

"She probably got jealous. I know I would if I were her!"

"Haha!!! Yea that freak was already an embarrassment anyways"

I sat at my lunch table alone. I listened to them talk about me and try to understand why I was different. Was I too weird? Was I ugly? Was I...a freak?...

My hands balled into my dark shorts, tears nearly falling from my eyes while looking down at my hands.

"Hey are you okay?"

I looked up at the voice. A blonde haired girl (that I had seen often alone) was watching me. Head tilted sideways as she sat her plate down on the table.

"Go away."

"Why?"

Staring at her. My face showing no emotion to the new stranger. "Because I'm a freak remember?"

"Why are you a freak?"

My tail unconsciously tightened around my waist, a new habit for me since kids decided pulling my tail was a good idea. "Just leave me alone"

"No. I don't think I will but what I wanted to say was...I'm really sorry that happened to your mom... She was really nice..."

My eyes widened as my mind spaced out. Thinking about her made me feel sick... made me feel weak. Without her I have no one left...

"My parents died too... I was too young to remember though but I can't imagine how your feeling..."

I sneered at her. What a joke"Wow thanks what else are you gonna tell me? It's okay? Cause if so you can just keep your mouth shut." With my arms crossed and now leaned back against my chair, I turned my head away from her. Looking down once again.

"No. I was wondering if we could be friends?... I don't have a lot..like at all and since you seem to be alone I was wondering if you'd be my friend." My eyes widened as my head snapped towards her. Something filled me up inside that day. Hope.

But so did another thing. My Pride.

"Whatever" I said, with a mean glare and tone but all she did was smile at me. Why'd she smile at me? I'll never know.

"Okay." Was all she said. She didn't move from her seat. Didn't so much as look back at me as she started her daily lunch.

"What are you doing?" I asked. Cautious in case of a prank. She looked up at me, her spaghetti hanging out of her mouth like a hamster.

She swallowed the food and answered me yet it's not one I would expect.

"I'm eating."

"Why here?"

"Cause your my friend"

"No I'm not"

"~yes you are. You just don't know yet."

This girls a lunatic. I just watched her eat and noticed one thing. Everyone Was Watching.

The once loud cafeteria was now reduced to whispers. All of them not staring at me, but at her.

The girl didn't seem to notice as she kept eating. I looked back from her to the whole cafeteria, wondering why she was doing this. A dare? Prank? I couldn't think of any results. After staring at her for about 15 mins she threw away her tray and the bell rang for recess in which we go to our classroom and wait for the teacher to let us go outside. I go to my class, sit in my assigned seat and get lost in thought as the teacher counts role.

That girl was a bit odd. She didn't even acknowledge them staring at her and just sat there eating. She didn't call me names and was actually nice. I wonder... would she be my friend?

The teacher dismisses us for recess and everyone else runs outside while I trail behind them. As I get outside I see a bunch of kids huddled in a circle shouting and laughing. I just look at them and go to walk away when I hear a familiar voice.

"Someone help!!!"

It was the girl from before. I walk forward to see what's going on, most kids notice me and move away. As I get to the center I freeze. The girl who had just ate lunch at my table not even an hour ago is getting the shit beat out of her by none other than Videl Satan and her little friends.

The girls bleeding from a cut in her forehead and her nose is broken. Bruises and scratches all over her frame. Dirt blood and sand covered her from head to toe. Tears rolling down her face as she's in a turtle position protecting her head. "I didn't do anything! Please stop!" I'm shaking with rage at their actions. Why?... cause that use to be me.

I stomp forward and grab a girls arm that was about to hit blondys stomach and throw her back. Videl and her other minion stop. The girl behind her stepping back a bit at the sight of me.

Videl laughs, "Wow looks like freaks travel in packs." Everyone laughs with her. My fists trembling.

"She didn't do anything to you so I'd advise you to let her go."

"Oh you advise me? Whatcha gonna do huh?"

"I'll beat your ass if you don't"

An 'ooh' went through the crowd as they looked at the smirking Videl. "Really? I'm sorry who's dad is the champion of the world?"

"That doesn't mean you won't get your ass kicked so instead of hiding in daddy's shadow why don't you do something yourself?" Everyone gasped and then started chanting. I got in my stance as she got in hers and when she went to hit. No contact was made because a certain blonde jumped infront of me. The whole left side of her cheek was now blood red as she flew back into the dirt. I looked back at the blonde as she struggled to get up. Videl smirked and straightened her stance.

"Wow, didn't think she's stuck up for trash!"

Everyone laughed and watched us. "Didn't think the champions daughter had to act tuff in front of a bunch of kids to be cool. Guess I was wrong, you are a joke." Videls body shook as her whole body turned blood red. Her next for real words were almost her last.

"At least my daddy didn't want to commit suicide!"

The next thing I remember was her scream as I broke her arm in three places. Everyone either screamed and ran or there jaws dropped as they watched videl break down and sob. Not even 30 seconds and the teachers ran over to a crying videl and called 9-1-1. All I did was freeze, watch her cry and be consoled. All of a sudden my arm was grabbed as I was pulled away from the scene. I look and see it's blondy, still dirty and bleeding. Taking me towards the bathrooms. I look at her face and then back at the paramedics that are now showing up. I sigh, not believing I'm doing this. Turning her around I pick her up and take her to the paramedics.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"You need medical attention dummy"

The paramedics saw the young girl and rushed her to an ambulance. Cleaning her face as they bandaged it up. The girl looked at me, smiling and yelling "thank you" before they took her and videl away. I turn to go in but the principal is standing there. I already know and walk straight to his office.

I'm given alternative school for the rest of the year only cause he couldn't get any child to tell him what they saw.The next week I'm in there and have already started on 8th grade math. It's quiet and I'm the only one in there besides the teacher. He gives me snacks and let's kids talk so i guess he's not that bad. I hear a loud yell of another teacher coming in with a girl screaming cuss words that didn't really make sense.

"Asshole cunt! Bitchy dick! Son of a Fuck!"

The teacher came in with his face blood beat red. I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. Dragging behind him was... blondy? I stared at her wondering what she was doing. She looked over at me and waved as she shot me a big grin.

"Here's this one. She'll be in here for the rest of the year." He let go of her arm and stomped out, slamming the door behind him. Mr. Aikido, the teacher, looked down at the girl and laughed. "Haven't seen him mad in a while! Nice job kid, go sit down. Lunch will be soon."

She grinned and practically ran over to the desk beside mine. I just stared at her as she kept smiling at me. "I told you." "What'd you tell me?" "Your my friend." "Are you psychotic or something." "No. But I protect my friends. After all your the only one I got." My stomach flutter as I watched her in surprise. Then for the first time in months, I smiled.

"What's your name?"

"Mika. And you?"

"Ryuko"

We became friends that day and after our 6th grade of school year was up we were back in classes. She took up for me and I took up for her. Videls arm got out of her cast at the ending of 7th grade year and she tried bullying us but has never got into a fight with me since. We grew up and matured and finally got into what most kids get excited about...

High school. Little did I know everything was going to change my sophomore/junior year...
