Kage held the phone against his shoulder and ear as he boringly flipped through a magazine.

"So whos that girl that keeps writing you again?" asked Akitoki, the voice on the phone and one of Kage's best friend.

"Her name is Iz. I can't really explain her, it's like she was kinda my girlfriend, but then I moved but, we still keep in touch. But I don't know exactly how I feel about her anymore. It'll be interesting to see her after all these years, though."

"Hmm," he muzed. "So whats she like?"

"Erm..."

"You don't remember what she looks like..."

"Yeah...well...I mean I do, but that was like 5 years ago, I told you I haven't seen her."

"She hasn't sent you pictures?"

"Hm, oh! I got an idea! Sometimes they post school year books online. What High School is she in?"

"Shacklebolt High"

Soft typing was heard in the background after the pause, Akitoki said, "ok, this years book isn't up yet, should I browse the newspaper? Maybe she works on it and gives her URL." he paused. "Damn, there internet newspapers first page is bigger than our whole thing."

"The searching" Kage suggested, not really listening. Sure, he was curious what she looked like, but he'd see soon enough. How much could ahe have changed? Besides hitting puberty. Besides, he didn't really think he was going to find anything until...

"Holy Shit!" he cried, Kage shot up, interested.

"What? What did you find?"

"I think I found her...and what a fox!"

"What?"

"Iz right? full name is Hitomi "Iz" Menemeno- Jaganshi"

Kage had to rake his brain to what her real name was.

"Er...yeah sounds right."

"Get online! I'll send you the link, listen to this..." he paused as he sent the page to his friend.

Iz flips by Izouoi Ukimura. 16 year-old fighter Hitomi "Iz" Menemeeno-Janganshi, student at Shacklebolt High, was until 3 days ago, captain of the schools fight club and trainer of the senior class. How she hs put down her boxing gloves and Katana and picked up pom-poms. Her former squad teammate told reporters yesterday...

"Iz had lost it, she's completely mental! I think I speak for the whole squad when I say that Iz belongs with her team and not waving puffs of string and shaking her ass just because some stupid guy ran a few feet while holding a ball without falling on his face. So what? i can walk and chew gum at the same time. Can I have an all essence paid vacation to Paris?!?"

...but other students beg to clitter football manager and former cheerleader CHO CHANG says that one day, since she broke her leg, she became manager and the skatepark was right next to the football field and she saw her doing all her skateboard tricks. When challenged to do her tricks withouth the board, Iz performed with flying colors, right infront og the entire cheerleading squad. They were planning on voting for a new captain this year and holding try outs for their newest teammate. They voted unanimusly and appointed Iz straight away. Nobody knows what made Iz under go this dramatic transformation, but one thing everyone can agree on, whetehr they mean it in a good way or not, is that "Iz has flipped!!"

There was silence in either side of the line. Moments went by and neither said anything, Kage finally fot over his shock.

"Wait THERE your pulling my leg, right?" Kage could almost hear his friend shkaing his head slowly.

"No dude, see for yourself." said Akitoki. Kage flung the magazine across the room. He couldn't identify the emotion that made him do it. He shook it off and rolled onto his stomach and pulled his laptop into his arms reach and clicked on the link. He skimmed the article for himself. Seeing that Akitoki was playing no joke, he closed the magazine and clicked on the link, he couldnt believe his eyes, it was her alright.

"Dude, I have to go, we need to pack, you know Im moving back to america in two weeks," and with that he hung up the phone, but didnt move, he just stared at the artical and lost all knolege of time. Iz had flipped
