Ha, I updated. Ooh, this stoz of mine made it to some alerts and even favs! Fankoo! Well, I just have a couple (not really) of things to say before I go on to the story. This is dedicated to my dear friends...what a surprise I always dedicate things to them. Well they are very close to my heart. And this is based on friendship and love. Second thing is, sorry for the lateness.
Third, I love your reviews ... thank you so much. However, people read yet don't review. I know I shouldn't be moaning or anything, but a review or maybe just a comment makes someone's day. Recieving a smile or a cookie is great for the author. It helps us develop in writing wise and lets us know that you enjoyed it, giving us a purpose to update. I'm not just talking about reviewing me for just this once but as well as others. Please take the time it doesn't cost much and its not a waste of time. So please make someones day by sending a review. Another thing POVS change to only 1 character every chapter. Okay on with the story. And I'm sorry for the moan n lateness...

Breaking News
By animeang3l7
I looked out the window watching everyone enjoy the new obstacle course reasontly built. Omi staggered to the floor as the crocodile bit his backside. Clay just chuckled his Texan laugh, while Kimiko being the good natured girl she was picked Omi up. I was just scribbling in my sketchpad as I began painting a mental picture of the school we were about to attend and what it would be like.
I got up in the middle of the night to grab a glass of water. That's when I overheard...
Flashback
"What made you suddenly reach the decision you have made, for the future of our young monks?" asked the second monk of the temple. A young Brazilian boy made his way to the corner of the door, trying to eavesdrop. Curiosity was his nature, he could not resist the temptation just like the temptation of evil. But this was very small, the consequences wouldn't be so bad.
"We have continuously worked on to fight the forces of evil and improve their skills and powers but knowledge is quite low. They need to receive a proper education with children their age so they can continue to adapt to many different environments."
"Oh," simply said the monk in confusion.
"What?" gasped Raimundo. The words education, knowledge and adapt meant a lot. But he was certain that it meant one thing, high school.
He ran away down the corridor, in shock and astonishment. Everything was going to change either to his liking or not. He ran to awaken his friends about the new discovery. Slightly scared about going somewhere new and also if he wakes up Kimiko, she might punch his lights out for ruining her beauty sleep But he thought she didn't need it at all, he thought she was already the description of beauty.
End of flashback
"Hey Rai, howsh you?" the petite Asian popped up and began her interrogation. She seemed happy and jolly. Too happy, and too jolly.
"Yeah, I'm iyt." I responded with a flat tone.
"Jolly good." she said smiling.
Those smiles of hers would automatically make you smile too. I tried to hide the grin approaching onto my face, pushing my cheeks up.
"You?" I simply spoke, looking down at the ground.
"Yeah I'm all good. Well except my reputation being torn into pieces." she whined.
"Huh?" I didn't understand exactly but I knew it had to do with something back at her home town.
"Wait tell me on the whole." I readied my brain about to hear those long conversations of the problems of Miss Tohomiko.
"Okay, in my old high school I had a high rep. You could say I was the it girl. Or at least one of them."
"Yeah..."
"Well, since being here. And people back there know I am staying at a Temple - with just boys. They all think that you know..."
"Yeah...and?"
"AND!"
It had just clicked into me. I saw the bigger picture, and it wasn't pretty. Right now I felt very embarrassed for Kim, but knowing her she would just bounce back. But did she really care about those things, the uncertainty of being popular and having a rep?
"So what, just a rumour."
"But rumours ruin reps. Don't you get it. I thought that at least you would get it. Gawd." she started to babble on about me not understanding and how I was bad friend, but I had only said five words and already she was going on and on about me.
"Okay okay. How did this thing get round?"
"Well, I sorta mentioned it all to my friends that I was gonna move to a different kind of school and it had lots of boys in it."
"Oh," I mouthed as if it didn't matter, rolling my eyes. "Why'd you say that?" I suddenly shouted at her.
"I don't know." she looked scared in a funny way, and I just had to laugh.
"Hahaha, ah don't worry Kim." I pulled her close to me in a sort of head lock and ruffled her hair.
"MY HAIR!" she twisted my arm around and turned it behind my back.
"Ow, girl just a joke."
"Just never touch my hair." she let go and rubbed her hands together. I merely rubbed my wrists in spite of the pain she had caused.
"Fine, oh yeah guess what."
"What?" she asked noticing the slight excitement in my tone.
"We're going to a high school."
"Huh? What did you just say? School? Really? Omigawd! Way cool."
"School. School. Yes. Yes really. Ahuh way cool." I said trying to reply to every question and statement made.
"My dear friend. I hear much excitement from Kimiko, is everything alright?" a certain yellow head asked.
"Yeah, Kim's excited squeals are louder than my Uncle Billy Bob's during thanksgiving." I looked towards Clay and Omi.
"What?" Omi and I looked at him.
"Well whatever you said...She's excited cause we're going to school."
"WHAT?" They both said in unison. I smacked my head whilst they danced and cheered. It was good news, something to be excited about - but not that much. The three of them where now cheering and dancing. Talking about what they would wear - that was Kimiko - what they would do - Clay - and obviously Omi was talking about how good he would do and all his grades would be high quality.
I was happy but a part of me was thinking about how everything would change. Would this come between us all, because school drifts people apart and there was a chance. I walked away in search of something to play with. Where was that Goo Zombies 3.0 when you needed it? I rubbed my head and walked on. I sighed. I really wanted to go to high school, play soccer, make friends, and make out with girls...but it was still a bit overpowering. There would be work in involved and a lot of it.
We had just finished dinner and we had to see Master Fung in the hall. I walked down the quiet corridor alone. The night was dark and clear. There were no clouds but the stars filled the voids of the sky. It was a really nice night - for once so I decided to walk through the courtyard. It was a much faster way to get around the place.
I had finally made it to the hall, where we would do our meditation and spotted everyone already sitting down. I looked to my watch and saw I was 20 minutes late. Everyone looked a bit pissed, so sat in the corner.
"Raimundo, you have finally decided to join us. Very good. Well I have gathered you here to tell you some very exciting news. The monks and I have took some action involving your education. We-"
"We're going to school!" shouted an ecstatic Omi.
"Yes," he simply answered. There was no irritation or anger from him seeing as Omi had suddenly interrupted him.
"Sorry Master. I was simply excited at the thought of this idea."
"It is okay young one. I see that you have all found out, from Raimundo of course." I lowered my head down in embarrassment. He knew I had eavesdropped on his conversation all along.
"Well then, I have already enrolled you all at Melody High School and you will begin tomorrow. Begin you're preparing. For this is a new beginning and a new start for all of you. This will be a chance for you all to widen your horizon." he said while separating his hands in an outward movement. I looked over to Kim, she looked a bit irritated and shocked.
"Where do you get these things?" Dojo popped up from under Clays hat and rubbed his head.
"I told you, I have a word calendar."
"Oh yeah..." Dojo realised, his finger was pointed upwards as if his light bulb finally was alight. "So I guess I'll be taking them there then?"
"Yes you will Dojo if you please."
"Yeah yeah," he started to mutter on and Clay smacked him in the head lightly, but he still went flying.
"What a Dojo,"
Everyone rose to their feet and dusted themselves. As I stretched warming myself up, they were had already started to walk out. Then I turned to ask "Where is Melody High, Master Fung?"
"It is in Tokyo, Japan."
"Hey Kim, isn't that where you lived?" I twisted around but she was already gone.
"Yes young one, that is where she resided and that is the school in which she attended."
"Oh Gawd." I smacked my head, I should have guessed.
"Is there something wrong in this decision."
"Oh its nothing."
"May I ask, Master. Why did you choose that school in particular?" Omi inquired.
"It was the nearest available school that would take students immediately, also Kimiko used to attend that school so it would be easier for you to all adjust and quickly get settled in."
"Excuse me, Master. I need to go." We stood opposite and bowed in respect. I turned round and ran after her.
"What's got their horses?" I heard Clay's stupid analogy go through the hallway I was running in.
"Beating me."
"Beats me Omi," I shouted as I looked back.
"That too," he responded.
I ran faster and faster almost buckling over my feet. I passed five exits and there were two more. I looked to my left and saw a pouting Kim enter her room. I stopped but skidded past and fell onto my back way past the exit. I got up in a hurry, I didn't care whether I looked rough or dusty. I was concerned about Kimiko. But I decided to walk instead - slowly. I walked into the smaller hall with the rooms. I gripped loosely onto the side of the wall and swung my self in its centre and leaned onto it. Crossing my arms I cleared my throat.
"Oh its you."
"Well that's nice." Sarcasm wasn't the time, but I couldn't avoid it. "Look, I know that's the school that you went to."
"I don't want to go, I'll be humiliated." she was now starting to get all teary eyed and sniff sniff.
"It's gon' be alright. Don't worry girl." I walked up to her and bent down to be near enough to her height whilst sitting down. I looked at her onwards. I don't know what came over me but I brang her closer and hugged her. I started to pat her awkwardly on the back, but very softly. It's brotherly love. Yup, that's why I'm concerned and that's why I comforted her. Yup, brotherly love. I let go and we sat back down opposite each other.
"So um, you won't mind if I don't come near you and the guys." she said with her eyes gleaming at me now..
"If it helps then okay." I didn't think it was a good choice for us to go separately, but I couldn't say no.
"Thanks Rai. You're a great friend."
"Yeah I know." I grinned from ear to ear.
"You wanna play Goo Zombies 4.0?"
"What happened to 3.0?"
"That's old news, its all about 4.0!" she shrieked, taking it from behind her back and shaking the new product in her hand. "It has multi-player."
"Nice."
