Chapter 1

Maria's P.O.V

I stared blankly at the ground as I dragged myself to my new school. For some reason, my parents had the 'smart' idea to move and in my opinion… that was bullshit. I finally have a great group of friends, decent teachers, and a happy life, but of course with my luck, we move. Now, it's not a move from state to state. Oh no… it's not that easy. I originally lived in the United States, now Japan. Now I know what you're thinking, what the hell, right? I know… it sucks… So now, I'm here. Some place called Domino. For some reason, I kept thinking about the pizza Domino. Again, no, there's an actual two called Domino. Why? Anyways, getting off topic, I finally was at the front door of the school. Easily pulling the door open, I stepped in. My eyes slowly roamed as I took my fist steps inside. Well, it does seem a lot like my old school; a bunch of jack asses, totally normal. Now, I was supposed to find the front office, which was where I get my schedule. I looked back and forth to try and find it, but to no avail. Jeez, where is this damn office? I looked over to two boys, talking to each other. Maybe they could help me. Walking over, I tapped the one on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at me, so did the other. I raised an eyebrow slightly at their hair. The one looked as if he just rolled out of bed and the other's was… triangle shaped? I don't know…

"Could you help me find the front office?" I asked. They watched me for a long moment, before glancing at each other with a grin.

"Sure shorty," The bed headed kid said. He grabbed my shoulders and spun me around. "It's right over… there!" He pushed me on my back, causing me to stumble and almost fall to the floor. The two and a couple others started to laugh. I turned around and glared at the two, getting slightly frustrated. Shaking it off, I walked away with my head high. I didn't want to pick something with these guys, it's my first day, and I can't make an enemy already. I only sighed to myself as I went on my way.

(Time skip)

Finally, I found the front office, but pretty much all of the kids were in their classes already. I walked in, looking around the office in awe. It was huge!

"Can I help you?" I looked to the lady standing by the desk that was in the middle of the room.

"Um… yes, I'm a new student," I walked over to her as she began to type on her computer.

"Ah yes, Maria right?"

"Yes," More typing.

"Here's your schedule," She handed me a slip of paper. I looked down to see what my first class was. Algebra, cool. Before I could ask her how to find it, she spoke.

"Have a nice day," I only growled lightly, starting to get irritated. Without a word, I walked out the door.

(Time Skip)

I continued searching for my Algebra class completely lost. By the time I get to my class, it'll be over!

"Hey!" Someone shouted. I stopped in place and looked behind me. Three tall and I mean tall boys started to come towards me. "What do you think you're doing?"

"I, um… err…" I stuttered.

"Spit it out!" The one hissed as the other two cracked their knuckles. Shit. Without thought, I ran.

"Hey, get back here!" They shouted. I heard their loud footsteps following behind me. Double shit! I turned a corner, sliding slightly on the floor. Damn this backpack! It's dragging me down! My eyes suddenly caught on the girl's restroom. Would that stop them from coming at me? Well… it's worth a shot! In a flash, I bolted into the bathroom. I went straight for one of the stalls and slammed the door closed. I took a step back, eyes wide with horror.

"Damn it! She's in the bathroom!" The one yelled.

"Let's go in their!" Another declared.

"No man! What if someone caught us in their! It's not worth the embarrassment!" The third stated.

"Should we wait for her?" The other asked. Oh God… please don't…

"Naw, we don't have time for that. Maybe next time," I waited to hear their footsteps fade away, before I came out of the stall and out of the bathroom.

"Thank you Jesus…" I murmured under my breath. I leaned against the wall, sighing in relief. Suddenly, my eyes caught on the door in front of me. Room 405. Pulling out my schedule, I looked at my fist class. 405. I found it! Or… more by luck… Either way, I was here! Walking over to the door, I grabbed the knob and turned it. I pushed the door open, only to find everyone watching me. I tensed immediately.

"May I help you?" I turned to look over at the teacher.

"I… um… am a new student,"

"Another one?" Someone muttered. I ignored them as I kept my attention on the teacher.

"Yes, Maria, isn't it?" I nodded. "Okay, you may sit in the front," He pointed to my seat. I turned around to go sit down, until I froze. Even though everyone as watching me, a specific pair of eyes stood out the most, wide with shock. Amanda?
