It was a friday and Seth and Kayla were walking back from school. They lived in an orphanage in Manchester, England and were in their school uniforms. Seth's consisted of an itchy red jumper with a black symbol over the heart representing the school. He also had black trousers, red socks and black shoes. He had spiky short brown hair and green eyes, he was tanned. Kayla had the same jumper, socks and shoes but had a black skirt instead of trousers. She had short black hair and light blue eyes, she was pale. Both of their bags were red with the school's symbol on the front. They were walking on the sidewalk, talking about their favorite Manga and Anime: Naruto.

"It was so cool when Deidara blew himself up!" said Seth.

"Yeah, but it was obvious he was going to die." smiled Kayla.

Her best friend raised an eyebrow.

"It was?"

"Yup, from the moment he took his cloak off he was a dead man." she looked at him with a surprised look. "You hadn't noticed that all the dead Akatsuki had taken their cloaks off in their final battles?"

He thought back and Kayla could almost see the light bulb turn on over his head.

"Oh yeah!" he laughed.

She looked in front of her, the candy shop was just around the corner and they only went there on special occasions. Today's was Seth birthday, he was going to turn twelve years old, Kayla had turned twelve three months ago. He didn't show it, but she knew he was so exited to taste their extra large lollipops. They turned and froze at the sight before them, it was the four school bullies hanging in front of their destination: Rick Carrie, Victoria Johnson, Mark Joans and John Smith. They were all older than the two Naruto fans, thus stronger and meaner. Rick, 14 years old, was a tall tough blond with brown eyes and he too wore the school uniform, as did Mark and John. Mark, 13 years old, was small with light brown hair covered in gel and brown eyes, and John, 13 years old, was a tall skinny black guy with a bald head and dark brown eyes. Victoria, 14 years old, was Kayla's definition of a slut, she wore the uniform with her own modifications. Her red jumper was in a V-neck and so was her T-shirt, giving everyone a good view of her large chest. Her skirt went from knee length to a miniskirt. She had the red socks on and her black shoes were high heels. Her hair was red, curly and long and her eyes were light green. She stopped sharing a cigarette with Rick, her boyfriend, and her eyes landed on Seth. She thought he was cute and she loved making Rick jealous.

"Hi, Seth babe!" she yelled and blew a kiss over to the horrified kid.

The three male bullies stopped what they were doing and glared at them. Kayla gripped her friend's arm and starred in fear as the three started their usual routine, they would chase the two through town until they either got to the orphanage or until they managed to lose them.

"Kayla…" whispered Seth.

"Run!" she screamed and both ran across the street followed by the bullies.

They bumped a few citizens and turned round many bends, but they where still behind them. They ran into a park and hid quickly in the bushes. They were panting and terrified as they heard the low voices of their pursuers. As Seth peeked through the leaves to see what was going on, Kayla tried to get her breath back. She tried to get her mind of the older boys by looking around her and regretted it instantly. A big spider was about to land on her shoulder and she let out one of her siren like screams. Seth grabbed her arm, pulled her to her feet and they went back to running away again.

"Good going! Why didn't I think of giving away our hiding spot?" he shouted sarcastically while they turned round another bend.

"Oh, shut up! You would have done the same thing if you were being attacked by a spider!"

"It didn't even touch you!"

"Yeah, well it was thinking about it!"

Seth sighed in irritation, damn her fear of spiders. Kayla looked back at Rick, Mark and John to see they were slowing down, the three couldn't keep up with them and were getting tiered very quickly. She pulled Seth to go faster and ran into the upcoming crowd, they went into the closest store and hurried to the back of the room, behind a bookcase. Both were panting hard and stayed where they were for at least an hour. Seth exhaled sadly, he wouldn't get to taste the candy shop's extra large lollipop after all.

"Come on, I think they're gone now. We better hurry back to the orphanage or Mrs. Janis will have a fit." smiled Kayla.

Seth nodded and they walked out of the store, the sun had gone down and the street lights were on. They got back and Mrs. Janis was standing in front of the front door with an angry expression on her wrinkly face. She had gray hair tied up in a bun and wore glasses over her small brown eyes. She wore a long dress with an apron around her waist. Her shoes were black and made a loud tapping sound whenever she walks in them. The two students stopped in front of the old witch, expecting the worst.

"Where the hell have you been?" she said angrily. "No, I don't want to hear it! Both of you, straight to bed!" she shouted, not waiting for either of them to answer.

"But what about supper?" asked Seth and his stomach growled.

Mrs. Janis smiled her evil smile.

"You should have thought about that before being an hour and a half late." she said wickedly.

They said goodnight and walked up the stairs leading to the bedrooms. Seth went to his and Kayla to hers, what Mrs. Janis didn't know was that they didn't go to bed. Instead, when everyone was asleep, Kayla dressed in her usual clothes. She wore a black T-shirt and a dark brown leather jacket, with dark blue jeans and black trainers. She snuck out of her room with her laptop, a chocolate muffin with a single candle on it and a lighter. She tiptoed through the corridors and eventually reached Seth's room. She let herself in and quickly closed the door behind herself. Seth was lying on his bed, starring at the ceiling. He was wearing a red T-shirt and a black leather jacket, with his favorite torn blue jeans and his white trainers. He sat up and scooted over so Kayla could sit next to him, she gave him his muffin and lit the candle.

"Make a wish." she smiled, putting her laptop on her knees, opening it and went to her favorite site where they could watch the Naruto episodes.

"Out loud?"

"No silly, other wise it won't come true!" she giggled.

Seth smiled and closed his eyes.

"I wish you and I could live in a better world."

He opened his eyes and blew out the candle. Kayla clapped and turned back to her portable PC and clicked on the play button. Seth grabbed a bag of crisps from under his bed and they dug in. Kayla fell asleep a few hours later and Seth turned off and closed her laptop, then he too fell asleep.
