Eric was standing behind me looking around for the others.

"they left." I mumbled as I ate my pancakes.

"so..?" he asked as he walked behind me, stealing a pancake from my plate.

"I dunno, I figured that you were looking for them." I answered while looking up at him.

"nah." he said. he stood still for a second before grabbing a soda from the kitchen. he came back and gulped some of it down.

"so you and yata aren't dating?" he asked curiously.

I crossed my arms and looked at him in annoyance, "why does everyone keep asking that?"

he took another drink of his soda before answering, "well you two kinda act like a couple, and you were sleeping with each other last night after all."

I grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

"it wasn't anything sexual." I said sarcastically.

"yea I figured.. he couldn't even work up the courage to touch his own dick." he said as he drank the rest of his soda.

"well speaking of yata.. where'd he go? I needed to talk to him." he said.

I shrugged my shoulders, still wondering why everyone was on our case.

"oh.. well anyways.. I might be back tomorrow. I usually don't come around too often." he said as he walked out the door.

I cursed under my breath while laying down. nosey ass guys.

about an hour later yata came back, finding me curled up on the couch taking a nap. he lifted his hand, about to touch my face, but didn't. he sighed and sat down beside me, trying to wake me up. it worked, my eyes shot open and I almost kicked him in the face, but he stopped me by gently grabbing my foot.

I sat up and looked at him, leaning my head back almost dozing off again. he pintched my cheeks in an attempt of waking me up.

I placed one of my hands on his, guiding it to my chest. his face got red as his eyes widened.

"my heart..", I said sleepily, "beats really fast when I'm near you." I held his hand there for a few more seconds before he gently pulled it away.

he didnt say anything, instead he just played with my hair while looking into my eyes. i felt my face grow hot and looked away towards the bathroom. I wanted a shower.

I was about to point at it but I couldn't move my arm; I couldn't move everything went black.

a few seconds later I slowly opened my eyes again and sat up, holding the side of my head in pain.

"what the hell was that?" I mumbled angrily.

yata was looking at me with a confused and concerned face, grabbing my chin firmly. he pulled me closer to him while looking into each of my eyes.

"you okay?" he asked as he studied my face.

I thought about saying something, but chose not to, instead nodding while looking to the side. he released my chin and got up.

"do you need water or anything..?" he asked as he entered the kitchen, turning around to look at me.

I shook my head slowly and looked down at my shaking hands. I stared at them while yata sat next to me again.

"c-come on.." he said as he pulled me towards the bathroom.

he drew a hot bath before walking to his room. I stood there for a minute waiting, feeling the hot steam fill the room.

I yawned as he came back in with a pair of shirt and shorts in his hands.

"uh.. y-you can keep them," he stuttered while backing up towards the door. he bumped into the sink before walking out the door, closing it behind him with a red face.

standing in front of the mirror, i pulled on the front of the shirt yata gave me. it was white and had a small pocket over my left breast with a polo logo on it. I looked down at the shorts, they were black with a white line on each side. I noticed how pale my face was while looking back into the mirror. my hair reached down to my belly button, which was weird. I always cut it short when I was little, I hated looking feminine. I learned at a young age that I wasn't allowed to do the things that my male classmates were. like when we told the teacher what we wanted to be when we grew up; some girls said models and nurses and hairdressers, while the guys said firemen, policemen, and doctors. the teacher asked me what I wanted to be and I told her, but when I did she laughed and said I couldn't. she said "only guys do that, sweetheart." after that day I started to pick fights with the other kids, and even the teacher.

I sighed before walking out of the bathroom. I looked over at the clock, it read 1:42. I was pissed at everything that's been happening to me lately, and just wanted to ride around town and blow some steam off.

I walked into yata's room and put on a pair of his socks and shoes. he had the same shoe size as me cause he's so short. before leaving I grabbed one of his boards, then shut the door behind me. I quickly walked out of the apartment before yata could notice, slilently closing the door.

it was nice outside; not too cold not too hot. I rode down the street heading towards the skate park, swerving around people carefully.

about ten minutes later I got there, noticing a group of people watching some guy do tricks on a ramp. I got closer to see that the group consisted of all school girls. they were all gawing over the guy and clapped whenever he did a simple trick.

"who's he?" i asked the group while watching the amateur.

a couple girls stopped talking and looked over at me; whispering to each other as if I couldn't hear them. then one girl spoke up.

"none of your business. you don't even go to our school." she snapped, causing a few others to giggle.

"...and you don't even skate.." I mumbled loud enough for her to hear me while watching the guy fall.

"are you okay?!" a couple girls gasped while running to his side.

the girl that snapped on me; puta let's call her, stayed standing next to me while the others ran over to the skater's side. she was tall and had shoulder length black hair. like the other girls, she had a school uniform on; a blue vest over a white t-shirt and an extremely short crossed her arms while glarring at me.

"I don't need your permission to be here. and of course I don't skate; skatings for guys." she said in disgust while looking at the board under my arm.

I glared at her and walked to the playground across the street; puta was making me mad and I didn't feel like starting a fight. I sat the board by the monkey bars before hanging upside down and closing my eyes. I did this a lot when I was little, mostly when I was in elementary school; it helped calm me down when I was mad. I guess you could say I had some anger issues back then, and still do... i closed my eyes and blocked out the sounds around me.

after a few minutes I opened my eyes and saw a pale little girl hanging upside down next to me. she was wearing pants, a long sleeved shirt and boots. she also had a winter hat and gloves on and her white hair hanged down from underneath her hat.

"hi." she said while looking at the people across the street.

"don't you know anything about stranger danger." I asked sarcastically while looking over at her.

she quickly climbed down from the monkey bars and stood in front of me, then sighed.

"typical neko.. you must have forgotten everything." she frowned before walking away while fixing her hat.

I was so confused at this point that I just let it slide. I jumped down from the bars and watched as she disappeared down the street.

"neko..?"

next thing I know puta was standing in front of me cursing up a storm.

"I wasn't done talking to you, why did you just up and leave like that, huh?" she yelled, giving me a heachache.

my legs were sort of numb from hanging upside down for so long, and the headache puta just gave me mixed with some light headedness made me stumble backwards. I hit my back on something, but before I could see what it was puta punched me in the stomach.

"bitch why are you so mad?" I coughed while looking up at her, smirking a bit as I felt rage starting to overtake my body.

I clenched my hand into a fist before ramming it into her jaw as hard as I could. she stumbled backwards while holding her jaw, then came running towards me again.

I seriously did not understand why she was so mad, but I guess she just really wanted me to beat the shit out of her.

I grabbed her arm as she tried to punch my stomach again; throwing her to my right. I stood over her about to drive my heel into her stomach when I heard the other girls quickly running over from the park.

I grabbed my board and rode away, looking back to see some girls taking out their phones and some comforting her on the ground. I held my stomach in pain on the way back to the apartment, coughing up blood every now and again.

"puta hit me pretty damn hard." I thought to myself, suddenly hearing my name being called out.

"eric?" I asked while jumping off the board.

"hey, yata called me not too long ago saying that you just up and left without saying goodbye or anything. had him pretty messed up." he said while looking through his phone.

"yea.. I was just heading back." I told him confused.

"so now I need a babysitter?" I thought to my self while skating down the street again.
