I ran faster then I had ever had before, with me being part Bakugan I can run faster then any human can. I reckon I would be going around 120 kilometers an hour. Running gives me a chance to think, in this case about Masquerade, pity. That's not a common feeling from him. Confusion, yes, fear, yes, control, yes. I wonder if Naga is sending him insane as well!!! Properly not. I run straight into Rose. "Opps. Sorry Rose. I was in deep thought about-""Masquerade, I know. We can communicate in our heads you know!" 'Oh, I forgot!' 'AGAIN!! Lets go, we can't be late for class again.' 'Fine!' I land on my butt again, "Why don't cha look where goin??" I yell. "Sorry. My name is Jason and this is Koga. And you are-?" "I'm Hannah and this is Rose. We are from Australia, just moved here." They stare at each other. I look at Rose. 'Their planning something, can you read their minds, I will hear it from you.' 'Okay then.' 'These chicks will never now what hit them!!! Jason will most likely find a way for them to hang out with us, then we will do what we did to Shun sister!' A picture of a child, no older then 7 was on life support!! They did this to her, maybe more girls!!! Rose and I gasp. 'Hang on, I'll see what Jason is thinking and if it is bad, we run, got it? Just to the office.' 'Why? That means we are wimps!!!' 'If it protects our secret then we will do it, GOT IT!!!' 'Yes.' She looks a lot like the girl Masquerade is chasing, maybe I should bring her in. Na, she is to pretty, I will just do what I did to Koga's brother. An image of a boy a bit over 8 and was in the same condition as the girl. 'Run?' 'Oh yeah.' With that we picked up our things and ran for it.

"OW!!!" "Did you fall down, AGAIN??" 'It's not my fault all the boys have no eyes!!!' 'This one is HOT!!!!!!' 'WTF Rose???' "Hey, are you all right? My name is Dan. This is Sarah, Bella, Shun, Alice, Runo and we are the Bakugan Battle Brawlers!!!" Drago, Tigrerra, Preyas and Skyress jumped up "Guys is that really you?" Dan asked. "You know them?" "There OUR guardians you bitch!!!!!" Runo yelled. "Guys, go back to them, they will need you more than us." I say. "WHAT???? HANNAH WE NEED THEM!!!!!" "We are only putting them in more danger of becoming apart of Masquerades plan, LOOK AT HYDRO!!!!" 'We WILL talk about this late." 'Yes *Alpha*' I growl. "Ahhh, did you just growl?" Julie asked. I look at Rose 'Should I?' 'AND MAKE A FIRST BAD IMPERSSION!!! YEAH!!!' I roll my eyes. "Yeah, I growled. I have animal instincts, wait, no, Bakugan instincts." I say with a full mouth grin. Masquerade wants her. What should we do? "Don't tell him that we are here, Danny-Boy." I say smirking. "Wa, HOW?" He says shocked. "Hannah," Rose murmurs, "listen to Shuns' thoughts" 'She reminds me a lot of my mother and of Alison. I wonder when she gets of life support. WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID THAT TO HER THEY WILL BE DEAD!!!!' "We know who did that to your sister." I say. He widens his eyes. 'There is NO way she can read my mind unless—'"Part Bakugan." He whispers. "HEY, boys are smart after all, I mean, this dude is and rest aren't." I say, loudly. Shun blushes. "Awww, he's so cute when he blushes, perfect for you Han." Shun turns a darker shade of red. "Rose," I say, slowly and like a threat. "You know what I can do and I won't hesitate to hurt you, like how I Masquerade at Bakugan this morning, so I suggest you shut up." It works. 'Oh, so that's why he's late.' 'Yeah, but today I felt SOOOOOOOO mush pity coming off him. What do you think that means?' 'Simple , hang on.' Rose takes a deep breath and starts to sing "Masquerade loves Hannah, Masquerade loves Hannah. Hannah and Masquerade sitting in a tree, K-I-S, OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I have punched her. "I warned you." She tackles me to the ground and I end up on top. I turn us around and we roll all the way down the hall way. 'Why are we doing this?' 'So we can talk. You KNOW that 1. I don't date and 2. Masquerade will die before he loves me.' 'Hannah, don't think just cause you are awesome, no one will date you. And you just don't date cause you scared that they will do the same to you as what Alex did.' I growl, stop turning and get up. I run towards the music room. I find that Shun is following me. I pick up speed. So does he. I can't pickup any more because if I do, I would be faster then humans. I find the music room and rush in. I lock the door and go to a piano. I pick up my music book and begin to play.

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you.

I hear the vent door collapse and, wadda you know, Shun, Dan and Rose walk in. 'Did you hear my song?' 'Every word.' "Nice song." Dan says. "Yeah and you climb through the vents because?" I say. "Shun saw you crying and he ran to get us when you locked the door." Rose snickers 'What now?' 'Can't you sense your feelings?' I concentrate on Shun's feelings. I crack up and so does Rose. "What?' Dan asks "Did you feel his, Rose?" We crack up even more. 'Together?' 'Count of three, 1,2,3.'"YOUR FEELINGS!!!! Hormonal boys!!!!!" Their mortified. Because the feeling that they had at that moment was the feeling we had never felt in a long time. It was fuckin love.
