Kurai Kanji High School needs more girls. This use to be an all guy school, but a couple of years ago, it converted into a coed school. Once all the girls got here, it was discussing. The walls were coated with dirt and sweat. The hallways were littered with bikini magazines and food wrappers. All the guys didn't even follow the dress code. And all the girls were suffering while the guys did whatever they wanted. It sucks at this school… so this is where I'm at now, sitting in a class room with mostly guys. The teacher was giving us a lecture about our history or something. I couldn't tell because I was so focused on my doodles. Finally the bells rings and everybody jumped from their seats and ran. I was still getting my stuff together after two-thirds left. I get up and walk silently out of the classroom and to the library, to get my studying done. Man, school is so stupid.

Around six thirty, I was walking down the hall, in no rush. That's when I heard crying. It was a girl crying. I follow the noise until I saw Shiori Tisho and Takumi Usui standing in the hall. I hide behind the wall, observing them. Then Shiori ran away, crying her eyes out. I roll my eyes. Great, add that to the long list of the broken hearts from Takumi.

Once I got to the cafés back door, I let out a sigh. I hate this job, but it has such good pay! And my uncle made me…. I enter the back door to find Satsuki, Honoka, and Erika already working. Sastuki, my manager, was the first to spot me.

"Hi Keira!" she said cheerfully and walked over to me. I forced a smile.

"Hi Sastuki. How's your day going?" I say, trying to be nice.

"Great! It's really busy here. But that's good! You?" she said

"Fine, schools hard, but I'm doing good."

"That's good. Well. Hurry up and get changed. There's a lot of work to be done. And a lot of costumers to be served." I nod my head as she strode off to the dining area. I walk over to my locker in a little alcove and start getting dress. Once I finished, I caught myself in the mirror. I stood there, looking at myself. My headband was a little crooked on my gold hair. I put my hands up and adjusted it. There. I look down. The white corset was always too tight, showing off my curves. And the undershirt was always loose, making it bunch up at my chest. The skirt flared out on either side of my hips down to my knees, I always get it caught in something when I walk around which was very annoying. The white apron tied around my waist and was tie on a huge bow in the back was almost as bad as the corset. And the sleeves. Ugh! They connect to the straps that sit on my shoulders and make a teardrop shape on my bicep. So the shoulders are completely exposed. You never have enough arm room to move around. The only thing I like about this maid outfit if the boots; knee high black lace up boots. I tried to smile, but it looked forced and scary. I frown at my inability. Then, Erika poked her head trough the curtain separating the dining area and the back room.

"Hey, what's the hold up? We need you out here." She explained.

"Coming." I grumbled and walk up to her. She looked down at me and frowned.

"What's the matter? School hard?"

"Something like that….."

"Well cheer up! Your whole life isn't a mess." She was trying to cheer me up. But she had no idea how messed up my life really is…

"Oh by the way, it's dog ears day!" She said as she put a headband on my head. It took all of my strength not to rip them off.

After my shift, I got changed into my green tank top and my brown combat pants.

"You're going out like that!" Erika exclaimed, shocked.

"Yeah, so what?" I ask while getting my black boots on.

"It's freezing out there! You're going to catch a cold!" Satsuki joined in.

"Look, it's not that cold out. I'll be fine."

"Ya sure? You can borrow one of my coats or something."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Anyway I got to go. See ya!"

"Bye!" everybody said.

"Wait!" Honoka said. I turned just as I open the door.

"Yeah?"

"Be careful, I heard there's a lot of girls' who are being jumped by guys. So just… Watch out for that ok."

"Don't worry! I got my judo remember. If anyone jumps me, I'll beat them up. Ok I really got to go. See ya tomorrow!" I wave as I close the door. I let out a sigh. Finally, I'm out of there! I start walking down the street to the alleyway I'm suppose to meet the guys. My hand finds the knife I strapped to my belt. If this doesn't go right, this could be bad. I stuff my hand in my pockets and head down the deserted street. It started raining.
