[Edited on: 9/28/07

"Good morning students" the teacher said happily as she walked towards her desk with a brown briefcase, and set it on the desk in front of her as she waited for the rest of the class to settle in their seats.

"Today I just want you to draw whatever is on your mind but be quite while you do that, I need grade some your art essays you took last week" the teacher said as she opened up the briefcase and took out a stack of papers and a red pen and began grading the papers.

Kari smiled at the thought of be able to draw what was ever on her mind, it was one of the things she loved about her art class, the way that her teacher would just let them express themselves and only grade them on how expressive they were.
The young girl then opened up her drawing pad and turned to the page that she had been working on since Monday, which was the picture that has been haunting her thoughts her for a while.

She picked up where she left off in the morning, which was finishing up the boy's face.
Kari took her time as she studied the figured, she didn't have a mental picture of how she wanted him to look, so she began to work on the eyes, she slowly took her pencil and started making small circles and curves until she had the eyes made perfectly to her liking, once the eyes were out of the way she began with the rest of the facial features, and little by little she began to get absorbed in the drawing, forgetting where she was and who was around her, she just kept working on it.
Until she was finally finished with the boy completely.

"Wow doesn't that couple look familiar," said a girl with dirty blonde hair who just happens to walk up from behind Kari and leaned in over her shoulder to stare at the newly finished masterpiece that Kari had created.

Kari was startled by the comment that her pencil flew out of her hand accidentally hitting the person in front of her on the head.
"Sorry" She said apologetically as she tried to regain all composure and realize where she was.

"Oh sorry" the dirty blonde girl said as she walked over to pick up the pencil and then place in Kari's desk.

Kari looked up at the girl and recognized her to be her friend, Megan, she met Megan at the very beginning of the school year, since their Art teacher had them partnered off from the start.

"It's okay Meg, I just seem to space out a lot whenever I'm drawing" Kari said as she wiped her eyes and looked at her dirty blonde friend.
Megan was just as short as Kari, only difference between them both had to be their hair.

"Anyway, it looks like you have a certain couple in mind" Megan said nudge Kari a bit as she pointed at the drawing.

"What do you mean?" Kari asked as she then looked down at the drawing, and took a good look at her finished work.

"They look quite familiar, don't you think?" Megan repeated with a teasing voice.

"What are you talking about?" Kari said sounding confused
she has yet to figure out what Megan was talking about, the couple in the drawing to her didn't seem familiar…
That is until she took a really good look.
'the boy does look a bit familiar, but that girl I'm not that sure' she thought to herself as she still analyzed the drawing.

"You know what I'm talking about Kari, that couple looks a lot like you and TK" Megan finally stating what she thought was completely Obvious.
Megan seem like your average sweet girl, but she was just as blunt as Davis back when he was obsessing over Kari.

Kari sat there in shock staring at the drawing.

" It sooooo does not look like TK and I, I mean c'mon that girl doesn't look a thing like me!" Kari said sounding defensive.

" Oh c'mon I'm not stupid Kari, everyone knows about you and TK" Megan said again in her blunt way, as she picked up her own pencil and started doodling on her pad.

Kari looked at her with a confused expression, she really didn't have a clue on what Megan was referring too, Even though Megan wasn't a close friend, she did make it clear to her that TK and her were just best friends nothing more.

"What about me and TK? We're only friends, best friends to be exact, and you should know that since I'm always telling you!" Kari spat out as she flipped the page to a brand new blank one.

"Well that's not what I heard" Megan said as she stopped drawing and just started lightly tapping the pencil on the desk, trying to avoid eye contact with the now peeved brunette.

"What haven't you heard Meg? You are the one that STARTS all the rumors anyway," Kari said with a grin as she shook her head, she should have known that Megan would have started something, She sort of expected Megan to be jealous of her friendship with TK, ever since the time where she was trying to flirt with TK but TK never showed interest in her, he was always focused on Kari.
But Kari never thought that Megan might have actual feelings for him, I mean she would have told her right?

"This time I didn't start anything… I'm shocked TK hasn't mention anything to you" Megan replied finally looking at Kari.

Kari didn't believe that Megan was all that bad, It looked to her that Megan actually got over her jealously over TK and moved on to Davis, since they both a lot more in common, and it did help Kari a lot that maybe now hopefully Davis would get over her and take a chance on someone who actually showed a bit more interest.

"Oh Megan stop beating around the bush… what's going on?" Kari asked as she folded her arms over the drawing pad and looked up at the grinning gossip queen.

"Honestly Kari how can you be so blind? I mean you guys don't have to say anything for it not to be as obvious as you guys make it look"

"Blind on what? Look I really don't understand what your trying say, so be a friend and just spill it!" Kari said as she slammed her hand on the desk causing a few students to turn around and look at her with a few shushes.
Kari blushed a bit in embarrassment and sinked lower into her seat.
She could hear Megan let out a small giggle.

"Stupid Megan" Kari grumbled as she turned away from the girl but Megan gently tapped her on the shoulder.

"Oh my sweet Kari you are lost, hmm let ask you a question" Megan whisper to her.

Kari nodded as she waited for Megan to ask her question.

"Do you even the know the real reason he broke up with Amy?"

"Of Course I do! Duh! I don't even think that would count as a question" Kari said sounding very sure of herself.
If there anything that she was a genius at it was knowing her best friend, not once in her life has TK ever hid anything from her, or at least had a good explanation on why he wouldn't tell her, but she was sure that he wouldn't lie to her especially about something that silly.

"Oh really? Hmm what was it? and don't tell me it was because he didn't have time for a girlfriend due to school, guitar and basketball practice but those are all very lame excuses" Megan said sounding a bit proud of herself as she noticed Kari's proud face turning into nothing but confusion.

Kari stayed quiet that indeed was the reason that TK had given her, and those were indeed the right reasons.
It just got her so mad that everyone always thought there had to be more to it.
But there wasn't! If TK could he would date as many girls as possible but at the moment his family just won't let him, he's trying too hard to make everyone happy, that he just doesn't have time to make himself happy.
That's why during all his free time he's usually with his friends or Kari, and those are the people that would always make him feel smile.

"well… since you happen to know more about TK and always talk to him more then me then please tell me the real reason" Kari said sarcastically
She hoped Megan would give her a good reason.

"Well since you put it that way… its not my place to say anything, he is your best friend and I suppose it's up to him to tell you when he's ready" Megan said getting up with her drawing pad and heading towards her seat by Kari stopped her.
"Megan your suppose to be my friend please tell me what's going on"

Megan just stared at her
"poor sweet Kari your so blind that you cant notice but you will one day I mean I swear this situation is so obvious even Davis who cant remember a simple name such as TK would have noticed" and with that Megan headed to the front of the class to turn in the assignment and Kari turned back to her empty drawing pad and flipped it back to the one she finished and stared at it.

What could she have meant? I mean TK did break up with Amy because he said he needed time to himself, he loved her, she supposedly meant the world to him why would he lie about the break up? What else could he be hiding? I mean we are supposed to be best friends he can't lie to me! Oh stupid Megan this is just another one of her plots to drive me insane!

Kari kept thinking to herself as she flipped the page in her drawing book and began to draw something completely different from all her other ones, she was just to confused she didn't know what to do so she kept drawing till the bell finally rang and they could go to 3rd period.

Kari was packing up her things when she saw TK lending against the door frame waiting for her like he usually did so that they could walk together, Kari gave him a weak smile and walk out the door with him next to her.

"Hey Kari are you okay?" TK said noticing that she wasn't acting her like her cheery self as usual, and what was even more shocking was that she usually has a lot to say after she's done with her Art class.

"It's nothing…"

Liar just tell him what happen maybe he can make some sense of this she thought to herself.

"C'mon Kari I know your lying to me" TK said as he started to walk in front of her, so he could get her to look at him.

"I'm not lying! GOSH! Why do you always think I'm lying! I'm not lying! Everything is FINE!" Kari snapped at him as they continued walking.

"You know you're a bad liar, which makes it easy for me to know that you're lying and by you getting all defensive like that just makes me even more sure that your lying, wow Kari if I didn't know any better I would say that sweetie you're a liar!" he said with a laugh

Kari let out a small growl as she pushed TK into a wall, she hated how he knew her so well, he always knew when something was bothering her and she could never hide anything from him.
But what could she expect? He is her best friend after all he's supposed to know her inside and out, but it just made her think even harder.

'Not even my brother would know me well' she thought to herself as they reached her locker and she did the combination and opened it.

"So c'mon Kari best friends don't lie! You know what fine! Go ahead! Don't tell me! I tell you everything! I practically spill my soul for you!" TK said acting all dramatically causing a few students to stop in their tracks just to stare at the pair.

"TK stop it! You're embarrassing me!" Kari Hissed at him as her face began to turn as red as a tomato.

"That's it Kari! I'll remember this moment! And imprint it in my memory forever" TK said in the same dramatic voice as before as he raised his finger in the air as proving a point.

"Oh TK stop acting like such a drama queen" Kari said as she slammed the locker door shut and started walking towards her next class which happens to be Gym.

"Then tell me what's bothering you!" TK said as he leaned in front of the gym doors preventing her from entering it.

"OKAY! You win!" Kari yelled in defeat
TK smirked at this, he knew Kari all to well, she was easy to crack at least when it comes to him she was, and he just had to admit that he kind of liked it.

Kari puts her right hand on her forehead and let out a deep sigh.

"I'm sorry TK I just have a lot on mind, Megan was just messing with me a lot about this drawing that I was working on, and I didn't mean to let out my stress on you" Kari finally said as she put down her head and stared into TK's deep blue eyes, eyes that always seem to calm her in such a strange yet amazing way.

TK leaned over to Kari give her a small rub on the back.
"What did she say?" He asked

Kari let out another deep sigh

"I promise on our way to your house I'll tell you everything maybe you can help me clear my mind and make some sense of all of this" Kari said with her innocent smile.

TK nodded in approval

"that's what I'm here for, to put a smile on your face and solve your problems" and with that he gave her a small peck on the cheek and walked off to his favorite class Photography.

Kari entered the Gym she had Aerobics her favorite class, next to Art of course.
In this class she could at least let out some stress by playing volleyball or exercising and of course relieve her stress with none other than her best friend Yolei.

Kari walked out of the locker room dressed with a long white tee shirt and her black shorts, her hair up in a high ponytail and her arms crossed over her chest as she walked towards the bleachers where Yolei was seated.

Yolei was sitting down with her book opened on her lap, flipping through pages till she noticed her best friend walking towards her with a frustrated look plastered on her face.

Yolei lifted her vision to her best friend as she quickly shut the book shut not caring about losing her place.

"Okay spill" Yolei said as she placed her arm around Kari's shoulders.
Just like TK, Yolei could always tell when there was something on Kari's mind, maybe it was because they were already use to her facial expression.

Kari let out a long sigh before she told Yolei what happened in her Art class, trying her best not to give Yolei a lot of details knowing that maybe she might repeat this information to TK in case he tries asking her.

"WHAT THE!" Yolei said quiet loudly that some girls in their class turned their heads to stare at them.

"C'mon Kari I highly doubt that TK would hide anything from you, I mean c'mon your KARI! Everyone trusts Kari" Yolei with a smile as she patted Kari on the back.
Which Kari knew was true, everyone could always confine in her, not once has ever let one single secret slip out from her, unless it had to do with TK, because lets face it TK was like her angel, always there protecting her, and he does the same for her.

"I just cant help but wonder if he's hiding something from me, I mean Yolei if you knew something you would tell me right?" Kari asked sounding hopeful.

Yolei removed her hand from Kari's back and began to look around the gym which was filled with kids playing basketball or just messing around with each, just trying to avoid all eye contact with Kari.

"Uhm yeah Kari of course"

But there was something about the way that she said that made Kari think otherwise.

'Is she hiding something from me?' Kari thought to herself as she saw her teacher walk out of her office holding a brown clipboard; the teacher blew her whistle signaling for everyone to get into their assigned lines.

Both girls quickly got up and rushed to their spots, as the teacher began saying what she wanted them to do, but Kari was too lost in thought that she wasn't even paying attention.

'This is so unlike Yolei, she tells me everything, she wouldn't hide anything from me? But I don't know, she has been acting strange lately, gah what's wrong with me lately, I'm doubting my two best friends! Something is totally wrong with me!' Kari mentally yelled at herself.'

"HELLO? Yolei to Kari" Yolei said as she waved her hand in front of Kari's face,

Kari shook her head to realize that the class has already ended and that they needed to get changed.

"Huh what? Where is everyone going?" Kari asked in confusion

" Class is over… the teacher is letting us go early… uhm I know that all this thinking is bothering you but I'm not quiet sure what your thinking about that got you to totally space out on me, I mean Kari you are my best friend in the whole wide world and we can tell each other anything right?"

Kari smiled and nodded

"It's just you sounded so unsure before when I asked you if you would tell me if anything was up.."

"Oh I'm sorry, but I guess I just have a lot on my mind as well, but nothing a little phone call won't fix right?" Yolei said happily as she patted her best friend's shoulders.

"Yeah your right" Kari said with a small sigh

"But Yolei can I ask you something?"

"Sure anything" Yolei replied with a smile.

"Do you think that TK had another reason to why he broke up with Amy?" Kari asked shyly as she stared at her dirty PE sneakers.

"Well yeah but I thought tha-" but at the very moment the bell rung and they were still in their PE uniforms

"Crap uhm I'll just tell you on the phone tonight" Yolei said as she grabbed Kari and rushed to the locker room so that they can go change.

"Yeah you better, also don't forget you gotta tell me your BIG NEWS! I've dyeing to know all day!"

Yolei smiled as they rushed opened their lockers and quickly changed back into their regular clothes.

When they were done they both ran straight to the cafeteria where all their friends were waiting for them.
