All I own is the school, mia and the plot, deal with it.

Warning shameless self insertion.

She's babbling about something or other. If she weren't sweet I would probably smack her. Then again this is the longest I've ever spent with a girl with out loosing my temper, or being called a fag. The only words I've caught so far are "billie joe" " hot" "out" and "adorable"

"don't you think so jakotsu?" she asks energetically, taking a break from her monolog

"sorry, but I was kind of ignoring you' I say truthfully flashing my sweetest smile.

"oh, darn, men never listen" she huffed in mock outrage. The gym teacher comes to take us to our separate seventh period classes. She goes off with some other girls who hug her and waves a fluttery good bye.

"darn women can be loud' a voice comes from a foot behind me, bankotsu.

" tell me about it, I only could catch a few words, she was speaking so fast"

"well, at least she's not as mean as the boys are."

"or the other girls" I add. He's taking to me, oh, dear god he's talking to ME. Suddenly the memory of miatka's incessant chatter doesn't bother me, hell those popular jerks couldn't get me down, only bankotsu could, and he shows no sign of wanting to! Go me!

"you o.k.?" he asks stupid stupid stupid!

"oh, yeah, just thinking"

"what about?" lie jakotsu, it's your only way out, just lie.

"I'm not sure, just wondering what the year will be like, ya know stuff like that" I hope that sounded like a normal kid from queens, oh, please don't let him think I'm a hill billy.

"oh, cool. I was thinking about weather or not I'll manage to pass math" we both laugh at this and the gym teacher leads up stairs to the forth floor gym separately from the girls.

I smile at this and continue up the stairs my eyes never leaving bankotsu's face. Maybe, just maybe, I have made a true friend.

A/n I'm sorry it was so short, it'll be longer next time, I promise. Mia, is also going to become closer to the boys in chapter 5, and we may discover a secret of hers. Bankotsu will steadily come to terms w/ his feelings and jakotsu will be jakotsu.

I promise the next chapter will be longer

Review and I'll make you a ginger bread bankotsu! Flame and I'll use the wing scar on you.
