I do not own KND.

And like always reviews are welcomed.

Ch. 1 Jail or school

POV: Kuki

"Kuki, if you don't get up you're going to be late for school," Mushi told me in a matter of fact voice. I shot up in bed and glanced at my alarm clock. It was seven thirty and I had to be at school by eight.

I could feel my long black midnight hair stand on end. I kicked off my blankets off and jumped out of bed.

"Mushi, why didn't you get me up earlier?" I shouted at her while rushing over to my closet. I quickly grabbed my long green shirt with my black skinny jeans and got dressed in what seemed like seconds.

"I did try to get you up once," Mushi told in her mono-tone voice. I looked up at her blank expression while I pulled on my black and white shoes on. Her hair has grown longer since she was seven and her personality changed drastically but it didn't seem to bother her or anyone else for that matter. And she wore black all the time but thankfully she was best friends with Tommy Gilligan, so he kept her in line.

I pushed passed her and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my hair a few times and brushed my teeth. Running down stairs I grabbed a cup of orange juice. My mom and dad were never there in the mornings so it was just Mushi and me.

"Tommy is here to walk with me, I'll see you tonight Kuki," Mushi told me in the doorway of the kitchen. I walked over to her and hugged her, she just stood there but that was okay I didn't mind. I took a step back and smiled down at her.

"Okay, have a good day, and say hi to Tommy for me," I told her. She nodded and left without another word. I finished off my juice and went up stairs to my room. I grabbed my back pack and slung it over my shoulder.

I grabbed my bike lock key on my book shelf and headed down stairs. I made sure that everything was locked, and left the house. I headed to the back porch and grabbed my bike. I jumped on and headed off to jail or as some call it school.

I made it just in time for the first warning bell to ring. I jumped off my bike and locked it into the bike lockers right outside the front entrance. Before I could even take a first step I tripped and did a face plant into the hard and uncaring sidewalk.

"Ouch, that hurt," I mumbled as I leaned up on my elbows. Three shadows came over me. I looked up and saw that Abby, Hoagie and Nigel were looking down at me with worried faces.

"Hey girl, are you okay? That really did look like it hurt," Abby told me in her warm voice as she gently grabbed my elbow and helped me up. I brushed off my pants and smiled at her.

"I'm fine Abby don't worry but I don't know what I tripped on," I told her as I spun around slowly trying to see what I tripped over. Circling a few more times I still could not see anything. Hoagie started laughing. Abby lowered her red hat that she had since we were little and tried to hide her smile.

"That's enough Kuki!" Nigel snapped at me out of nowhere. I jumped probably a few feet off the ground and looked up at him. I could not see what he was thinking behind his sunglasses but I could tell that something was bothering him. Nigel finally sighed and kneeled down in front of me.

He gently grabbed my right foot and placed it on his knee. That was when I noticed that my shoe tie was untied. He tied it without a word and stood back up. He stood there in front of me with his arms crossed.

"Oh, Kuki did you watch that new episode of High school Rainbow monkeys last night," Hoagie asked in a hushed a whisper. He didn't want any else to hear him because that show is mainly just for girls but he can't get enough of it.

"Yeah, I liked how Super Cheerleader Rainbow Monkey finally got what was coming to her. I thought that she deserved that," I told him with a smile. Hoagie nodded at me with a small smile and started messing with his yellow tinted goggles.

Abby took her hat off and hit him over the head. He looked down at her with a blush on his cheeks.

"Didn't Abby tell you that you shouldn't mess with your glasses like that," she told him in a cool voice. She placed her hat back on her head and smirked up at him. He gave her a warm smile and nodded.

The second bell sounded and that meant that we had to get inside.

"Well we better get inside before we all get detentions for being late," Abby told us while she was walking away. Without even a second thought Hoagie was right behind her and walked her inside. I could feel a sigh escape my lips before I could stop it. Nigel looked down at me through his sun glasses and raised his eyes brows.

"What is it Kuki?" He asked me in his British accent.

"Well I just think that Hoagie should just go ahead and ask Abby out. You know she'll say yes, she loves Hoagie," I told him with a dreamy sigh. I could somehow feel him roll his eyes at me. Before I could get in another word Nigel gently grabbed my wrist in his hand and pulled me inside.

He pulled me to my first hour class, through all the crowds in the hallways. He opened the door for me and pushed me in. I grabbed the door and leaned out into the hallway and saw Nigel walking away.

"Thank you Nigel!" I yelled at him. He lifted his hand and gave me a small wave without turning around. I turned around and shut the door behind. Looking around I saw that I didn't have first hour History with any of my friends.

I shrugged my shoulders and headed for an empty seat in the back row. Thankfully no one seemed to notice me so I didn't have to put up with name calling yet. Soon enough after the last bell and the pledge the teacher finally came in.

I carried my new history book to my locker and then headed off to find Abby. I had two hour English with her. As I walked over to her locker I saw Hoagie talking to her. I poked them both on the shoulders and they smiled at me.

"Hey Kuki, how did History go?" Hoagie asked me.

"It was okay, it seemed to go by extra fast for some reason," I told him.

"Same here time just seemed to slip by with my Abby so nearby," he told me but his eyes were on Abby. He knelt down in front of her and kissed her kissed her hand. She glared down at him but his big grin would not disappear.

"And who said Abby was yours?" She asked him. She took her hand away and crossed her arms. Hoagie stood back up and gave her his award winning smile. Not really but I think it should win an award.

"No one but I think you want to be mine," he told her with the same smile. Looking around I saw a few people looking our way with confused faces. I was brought back to Abby and Hoagie when Abby slammed her locker down loudly for everyone to hear.

"You wish Hoagie Gilligan," she told him in an ice cold voice. With that she pulled the brim of her hat down and walked off without a word. I watched her walk away and Hoagie came and stood beside me.

"Why did you have to do that Hoagie? You made her really angry," I looked up at him and gave him a worried face. He looked down at me and ruffled my hair.

"Yeah I guess I did," he smiled. I pinched his hand and smirk.

"That's for hurting Abby," I told him slyly. Before he could get a word in I walked away. About half way to English I found Nigel leaning against the window looking outside. While I walked by him I poked him in the shoulder and kept walking without a word.

That's a game we've been playing since we got into high school. It's like our version of tag but it's more interesting, because whoever is tagged last by the end of the day has to buy the other person a sundae.

I made it to class right when the bell rang. Abby saved me a seat in the back row right beside her. Mrs. Doll stood up behind her desk and smiled at us all. Her snow white hair was in tied back in a tight bun and the mole on her cheek didn't seem to get smaller than last year.

"Good morning class," she told us in her raspy old voice. No one replied back to her, except for Abby and me. Abby gave her a small wave and I smiled at her. Mrs. Doll seemed to appreciate that because she smiled back at us.

Someone knocked on the closed door and Mrs. Doll waddled over to the door and opened. I could not see who it was but Mrs. Doll just gave them her polite smile, which meant that she didn't like that person every much.

The person handed her a piece of paper, she opened the door wider so the person could come in. A guy with shoulder length blonde hair came in and gave us all a blank stare. Mrs. Doll guided him over so he was standing in front of everyone.

"Okay class this is…" she had to pause and look at the card but the guy talked before she could.

"My name is Wallaby Beetles. And I had my choice of either jail or this school," he told us with a cold voice. Everyone in the class was quiet and waited for him to say something else, instead he took walked back to the only open seat, which is by me and sat down.

Mrs. Doll tried to act normal but all through class she kept looking back at him and it wasn't just her everyone was. I glanced over at him and saw that he was taking notes of what the teacher was talking about.

'Hm. For a tough guy he's actually likes taking notes,' I thought to myself. I caught myself full on staring at him a few times nut Abby always saved me by taping on my shoulder. After class was over Abby and I headed to her locker.

Abby and I said nothing about the new kid. For that matter no one did, it was like they were trying to act like he wasn't even there. I felt sorry for him. Time seemed to fly and finally it was time for lunch. Thankfully I met up with Nigel and Hoagie on the way there and Abby always got there before we did.

After we got our trays of food we walked across the court yard where Abby saved the spot under the tree for us. For a few minutes no one said anything.

"So did you guys see the new kid?" Hoagie asked. We all looked at him like he grew a second head. I nodded my head but I left it at that, Nigel didn't even respond to his question. Finally the silence was broken by Abby.

"Yeah, I saw the new kid and I invited him to sit with us," she told us in her cool calm voice. We all looked at her at the same time. Abby flicked her hat up her thumb and looked at us.

"Look guys, he's got a bad rep already and Abby thinks the least we can do is give him a chance. Abby means just imagine if we didn't give Nigel a chance, we wouldn't be friends with him now," she told us.

I looked over at Nigel and realized she was right. Nigel looked mean and scary but that was just the way he was. He couldn't hide his muscles or the way he can't express his feelings to others that well but they still get through. I nodded my head and looked at Abby.

"Yeah, I think your right Abby. I think we should all give him a chance," I told them all with a smile. Abby grinned at me, while Hoagie and Nigel looked at the two of us like we were crazy. Abby undid her low pony tail and leaned against the giant oak tree behind her. I glanced over at Hoagie and surprise, surprise he had a light blush across his pale skin.

Before any of us had a chance to say anything else Abby raised her hand and yelled over the people.

"Hey, Wally, over here!" That was the first time I actually heard Abby yell like that. A shadow came over me; I looked up and saw wallaby looking down at me with the same blank face. I scooted over closer to Nigel so he could sit.

Without even a word he sat down next to me and nodded to all of us. Hoagie and Nigel gave each other a glance but other than that didn't say anything.

"So Wally, how do you like the new school?" Abby asked. He looked up from his lunch and looked at her.

"Its fine," he told us bluntly with no emotion in it. I looked back down to my lunch and poked at the mystery meat. Without being ready for it, Nigel leaned over and poked me on top of the head. I looked up at him and pouted.

"Hey, that's not fair, I wasn't ready!' I shouted. A smirk appeared on his.

"All is fair in love and war," he told me. I crossed my arms and looked the other way.

"Yeah I guess you're right," I mumbled. Nigel reached over and pulled some hair behind my ear.

"Of course I'm right," he told me, while he pulled a small piece of mystery meat out of my hair. I pushed his arm away and smiled. Even though Wally didn't seem to say much at lunch he also didn't seem to mind being around us.

After lunch the rest of the day flew by. Pretty soon I came to my last class of the day, which was a free period except I had to go water plants in the green house.

The green house was my responsibility because no one else seemed to care about the flowers. I even came in during the summer to water them. The school gave me the key to the green house because they had no need for it.

As I unlocked the door the flowers different scents over came my other senses and I could feel myself starting to relax. I pulled my sleeves up and turned on the radio which I got installed in here during the summer and got the water hose.

This was one part of the day that was all mine. I could water the plants without all the gossiping girls and the bull headed jocks and just relax. As I made it to the back I heard the door to the green house open.

I looked up and saw Wallaby walking in with his hands in his pockets, looking right at me. I smiled at him and waved him back. Before he came over he turned off my music and walked back towards me.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked him with a smile. He looked down at me and then around at the plants and flowers.

"Did you grow all of these yourself?" He asked me as he walked around me gently felt the rose red rose petals.

"Yeah, no one else ever took care of the green house so I decided to grow them myself," I explained. He turned around and looked at me.

"Do you need any help?" He asked me.

"Well, if you really want to, I wouldn't mind the help at all," I smiled. He didn't say anything to me after that he just picked up the water hose and started to water the roses. When finally the bell rang Wallaby and I locked up the green house and walked to the front entrance in silence.

We met up with everyone and we all talked our heads off it seemed like, well except for Wally. I was actually starting to get use to him not talking, it wasn't like he thought he was better then you, it was more like he just didn't want to be in the way.

I got my bike unlocked and started pedaling, before I left though I poked Nigel on his forehead.

"Ha! That's one sundae you owe me!" I laughed.

POV: Wally

I watched Kuki pedal away on her pink rainbow monkey bike and I could not help but worry. She seemed like the type of person that could trip on mid-air. When Hoagie and that Nigel guy left I turned to Abby and looked down at her.

"Is it safe for her to ride her bike?" I asked. Abby crossed her arms and smiled up at me.

"Yeah, Kuki's fine. She might seem fragile but believe me she's far from it," she told me in a calm voice. She patted me on the shoulder and started walking to her blue car with a white pin stripe down the middle.

"I'll see you tomorrow Wallaby," I could hear the humor in her voice. I looked up at the cloudless blue sky and sighed.

'I guess this school won't be as bad as jail.'
