Chapter 2

Kodoku………

~*~*~*~

"YAY!! ANDREW AND I HAVE THE SAME CLASSES!!!" Kiwi exclaimed, showing her friends the time table and hopping in her seat.

"Cool. Me an' Demetri have the same classes too." Ayumi said, looking at her and Demetri's schedule.

"Well then students, you may all go to your classes. Have a wonderful evening." Mrs. Jennings said, stacking up papers on her desk and fixing her glasses.

Ayumi slowly got off her seat and grabbed her things before leaving the classroom and being followed by her friends.

The first class was English. As Ayumi went in the classroom with her friends, she spotted a familiar boy with dark blue hair hanging on the ceiling with his tail.

Ayumi smirked. "You miss the monkey bars back in Middle school, don't you M.C.?"

The boy was startled by Ayumi's voice and fell on the floor, head first. "Owwwwww..... OH!! Hey Ayumi.... I was just..."

"Chill out, I have a tail too y'know...." she replied, swishing her tail rapidly.

"Hehehe.... Oh yeah...." the boy replied, scratching his head and smirking. "Hey, have you seen my retarded brother?"

"Hm. I didn't know you guys cared about each other THAT much." she smirked.

The boy known as Mat glared at her and his right eye twitched a bit, "Shu'up... I'm serious."

"Nope. Haven't seen Rand anywhere. I heard that you an' him were makin' your own muzik band!!!" she exclaimed.

"Yup!! Still can't find a name though...."

"How 'bout the Terran Retards?" Ayumi snickered.

"We'll see."

"Hm. Well good luck."

"What's the name for your band?" Mat asked.

"Tiger's Eye." she smirked.

"That's a goofy name." he snickered.

"Shut up." she glared.

"Hello class, please take your seats." the teacher said, followed by a couple of students.

Ayumi realized one of them was Mat's brother, Rand. Rand had the same spike style of hair as Mat but it was green. He carelessly plopped in his seat next to his twin and pulled out a straw with a few balled up paper and smirked at the nearest prep that had long pink hair.

'Hm... He's already planning to receive a detention on the first day of school....' she thought, shaking her head.

Just then, Ian came and all the girls except the punks sighed.

Oh my God... How pathetic. Ayumi thought, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

"Y'know you like him, Ayumi-chan." Mat whispered to Ayumi.

Ayumi glared daggers at him. "Shut up, stupid."

Mat snickered.

"Um, is any one sitting here?" Ian asked Ayumi, pointing to the seat that was next to him.

"Yea. My feet!!" she then laid her feet on the chair and glared at him.

He frowned and sighed, looking to the perky girl who were about to charge at her. "Daijoubu. I'll sit somewhere else."

Ayumi's eyes widened as the girls sat back in their seats, muttering stuff under their breath and she turned back to him. "Chotto Matte Kudasai!!!"

Ian stopped and had his eyes on her.

"....You can sit here." she said, turning her head to the front, a streak of red coming across her face.

He smiled, sitting next to her. "Arigato Gozaimasu."

"Do Itashimashite."

"Whoa. You speak another language, Ayumi? What the hell were you sayin'?" Mat asked, appalled by the language she just spoke.

"Japanese, stupid. Turn around before you get us in trouble."

"Yes ma'am."

Class began and the teacher was talking about Distributive Properties which was stuff that they learned in the 8th grade, but many seemed to not care. Rand got in trouble more than 10 times in that class and received a detention. After the 100000000th time, the teacher was going to make a phone call with him and Mat's parents. Too bad she didn't know that he and Rand lived alone....

The school bell finally rung loudly, making most of the preps fall out their seats and receiving a few laughs from the punks and other students.

Ayumi grabbed her stuff and ran out the classroom followed by her friends.

"WE HAVE LUNCH!! WE HAVE LUNCH!!" Kiwi shouted happily, holding her boyfriend's hand and looking to Ayumi who had a worried look on her face. "What's wrong?"

"Eh, Ayumi? You ok?" Mat said, shaking her a bit.

Ayumi blinked a bit and looked at her friends who held a surprise, yet, worried look.

"I-I'm ok.... I was just.... thinking of the past." Ayumi said, shaking her head.

In and out, the tragic death of Ayumi's parents came. She held her head tightly and warm tears ran down her cheeks. With no minute to spare, she then fainted in Ian's arms as he walked towards them.

"Ayumi!!!!!!!!!"

Character POV: Ayumi

~*~*~

I slowly opened my eyes and got kicked back by a terrible headache I received I think during when I collapsed. I looked around and my eyes widened.

There was Ian, next to me, sleeping on the desk that was probably placed when I was unconscious. I smiled a bit and got up, putting the blanket I had on him.

'Arigato.' I whispered in his ear, then patted his back and left the infirmary.

~*~*~

"AYUMI!! YOU'RE OKAY!!" Demetri yelled, but all of a sudden got hit upside his head.

"YOU JERK!!! YOU JUST LEFT ME WITH A PREP IN THE INFIRMARY?! WHAT KINDA FRIEND ARE YOU?!"

"G-Gomenasai, Ayumi......." Demetri cried, putting his hands together and received another hit upside his head.

"Apology NOT accepted!!!" with that shout, she then turned and left him, getting her stuff so she could leave for home.

"P-please!! I said I was sorry!!" Demetri cried.

"I'll say this once!! GET LOST!!!!!!!" Ayumi yelled, slamming her locker forcefully and drawing attention from the students that remained in the school building with wide eyes.

"HEEEEEEEEY AYUMI!!!!!!!!!!!" Kiwi shouted from outside.

"Hi Kiwi.... what's going on? Where's Andrew?" Ayumi asked, looking around and feeling a bit dizzy.

"He's coming. Just back at school."

"HEY GUYS!! WE FOUND SOMETHING!! COME CHECK IT OUT!!!" Rand yelled from the bushes that were next to the 2 girls.

Ayumi was startled by the voice but followed Kiwi inside the bushes and ended up following Rand and his twin to a dusty place that had a huge house with over 150 rooms.

"Neato......" Mat and his twin said at the same time.

"Wow.... do you guys have treasure detectors or something?" Ayumi asked.

"Nope. We have..... MONKEYS!!!" Mat shouted.

Then 2 monkeys appeared and sat on Mat and Rand, swishing their long tails from side to side.

"This is Joe." Mat said, pointing to his monkey.

"And this is Patrick." Rand said, pointing to his monkey.

Ayumi rolled her eyes and headed towards the building. Sad...

"HEEEEEEY!!! WAIT UP!!" Kiwi shouted, catching up to Ayumi.

As soon as they went inside the abandoned home, a lot of noise filled up the rooms and outside, making Ayumi and Kiwi fall to the floor and cover their ears.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Ayumi shouted, getting back up and being followed by Kiwi, seeing 2 dogs, and 2 cats surrounding Mat and Rand.

Mat turned over to the girls. "...WE FOUND SOME NEW FRIENDS!!! CAN WE KEEP THEM????"

Ayumi and Kiwi looked to each other and fell over.

To be continued.....
