Dedicated to 'Queen Elizabeth'- You know who you are…

"Good Morning, it's nice and sunny out here at 5 o'clock in the morning-"

"Shut up dumb alarm clock!" A mass of bleach-blonde hair appeared out from the covers. "Wake me up at five, are you crazy? This is the future world dominator, and you are waking her up at FIVE?!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once ready to face the day, the blonde walked out the front door. She had recently run away from home, and was completely supporting herself. She had a job at the local Pick 'n Save, but that didn't fully support her. So, she had a second job at the Pizza Hut down the street.

She walked to school, unable to drive a car yet. As she arrived, she heard the oh-so-familiar voice, of Kari, her best friend:

"GOOD MORNING LIBBI! ISN'T LIFE BEAUTIFUL?!" Kari skipped over to her, chocolate brown hair bouncing around. It was the funniest thing ever; Kari's hair was frizzy, and always would be frizzy. She could straiten it for an hour, and it would still be fuzzy.

"Aarrggghh." Libbi said, annoyed my Kari's awakeness. Unlike Libbi, Kari still lived with her parents, and they were rich. Like, Kari got chauffeured to school in a limo. She was the super-nerd-geek of the school, though. The silver-rimmed glasses didn't help any.

"Did you finish the math last night?" Kari asked, trying to arouse her best friend.

"No, can I copy off yours?"

Kari sighed. "Sure."

The girls sat down on one of the cafeteria's tables, and Kari got out her math homework. Libbi looked at it, and copied down all the answers. Kari was being Libbi's human calculator, but was soon distracted by some yelling and a group of kids all huddled in a circle.

"YOU WANNA SAY THAT TO MY FACE?!"

"Stupid Cat."

Then there was a girl's voice; "Guys! Please stop fighting!"

"Hey! What's going on?" Libbi said, handing Kari's math back to her and grabbing her arm. She dragged the girl to the center of the circle.

There were two boys standing there, one with silver-grey hair, and the other with bright orange hair. Then there was the girl, who had brown eyes and brown hair.

"Libbi…"

"Oh, it's just Libbi and her nerd friend." The boy with orange hair said.

Now, Kari was a nerd. She was perfectly fine by admitting it… but when people say 'nerd friend' and are referring to her, that is just enough to make her blood boil.

"Nerd friend? I prefer KARI!"

"Seriously, just call her Kari. I am the only one allowed to call her nerd." Libbi said, pointing accusingly at the boy with the orange hair.

"What's your name, punk?"

"Kyo. Kyo Sohma." He said.

"What kind of name is that?" Kari said, feeling left out.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Bellowed the scary, deep voice of the principal.

"Nothing sir." The boy with silver hair replied.

"Ah, Sohma-Kun. Good morning. Now, get to class everyone."

Meh, alright for a first chapter, ne?
