That morning at about 6:27am

I gave a moan as someone poked me in the stomach. I opened my eyes, albeit reluctantly, only to see Genesis, in regular size. I almost had a heart attack I swear it!

I grumbled, "What is it?"

"Your cell phone alarm rang and we decided to wake you up when it was almost 6:30." Genesis explained calmly.

My eyes went wide open and I sat up abruptly from the bed. "I forgot about scho-!" I yelled then gasped as pain racked my body. "Argh!" I screamed as I curled into the fetal position.

Genesis stood back in shock, but quickly rushed to my side to see what was wrong. "Maigen, tell me where it hurts." He requested.

I lifted my pajama shirt to reveal the bandages that wrapped my abdomen. Fresh blood stained the white bandages even more as I got up from the bed to get more bandages. "Can you help me get to the hallway closet?" I asked Genesis.

He nodded and lifted me up bridal style and carried me to the closet and opened it, although I kept on yelling that he didn't have to do that, but of course, Genesis being him, had to say that I was 'injured, and therefore needed assistance so that I didn't inflict any damage upon myself.'

I reached for the bandages and Genesis carried me to the bathroom, which I kindly asked him to get out of.

Once Genesis was out of the bathroom, I brushed my teeth, did all my other personal business and changed both my clothes, which I had Genesis get for me, and changed my bandages.

I walked put of the room refreshed, only to have Genesis pick me up AGAIN! .

I squirmed and thanked the Lifestream that my bandages were sturdier than before; otherwise I would've had to get new bandages. I stared at his face, "Please put me down? I can walk just fine."

"No" he deadpanned.

I just about gave up when I remembered, "Wait! I have to get my book bag and make my bed."

"I had Cloud do your bed and Yazoo packed your book bag, it was just the stuff on the desk right?" Genesis replied unsure.

I nodded my head as he descended the stairs. I sniffed the air and found it to be the scent of pancakes, bacon, toast, milk, fruits, and syrup. What surprised me more was the fact that the dining room sat everyone, each in a fold up chair. They even had to put the table horizontally and extend it with the 10ft extension in order to fit every one.

I was sat down in a chair next to Nero and Genesis took the seat next to me.

I stared at the food before me. "Who cooked the food?" I asked, looking around the table.

Weiss gave off a bellowing laugh, "It was Angeal and Tseng. Those two wouldn't let anyone else help in the kitchen."

Tseng sighed, "Only because there's barely enough room for the two of us as it is."

"And the fact that none of you know how to cook." Angeal added in.

"Reno almost gave us all a heart attack by trying to making burgers when the Shinra employees had a New Years party." Started Rude.

"Yeah, and he used a flamethrower to cook the meat." finished Rufus.

I laughed, "I can imagine how that ended." I turned to the pancakes in front of me and announced, "Let's eat everyone!"

We dug into our pancakes and after about a few minutes, I was finished with my breakfast and excused myself.

I walked into the basement and pulled out my rapier and began to carefully execute random blows to the practice dummies. After about several dummies, I put the rapier away and walked back upstairs. I looked at the sink to find the dishes done and the leftover food packed away for my lunch. I walked into the living room, "Hey guys I've got to get to school now so-" I cut off mid-sentence. On the couch was everyone, in their chibi form. "Why are you all in chibi form?"

I asked.

Sephiroth walked up to me, a black wing protruding from his back. "We're coming to school with you."

Kadaj came up from the back of Sephiroth and declared, "And you can't convince us otherwise, sister."

I sighed heavily. There was no use arguing with them. They'll all probably sneak into my book bag when I leave anyways. "Fine, who knows how to drive?" I asked.

Angeal, Rude, Tseng, and Yazoo lazily lifted their hands up. Reno had his hand raised immediately screaming out, "Oh! Oh! Me! Me! Pick me! Come on Maigen please pick me!"

"Would you shut your mouth, Turk!" Yazoo snapped. "You won't be chosen to drive if you keep up this useless clamor!"

Reno stopped talking, but he still stuck his hand up like no tomorrow. Yazoo face-palmed himself and shook his head.

Tseng sighed, "Rude will drive the car. The rest of us will be in your book bag." Tseng climbed into my book bag with the others and Rude became normal sized. I picked up my books and my bag and dragged Rude to the door.

After the door was locked, Rude started the car as I got into the passenger seat. The drive to school was silent, but as soon as we pulled up to the school's back entrance, my aura seemed to become gloomy as I muttered, "I absolutely hate this place." It wasn't loud, but it was audible enough for the chibis to hear. Before I knew it, Genesis had climbed onto my shoulder with Zack.

"Why do you hate school?" asked a curious Zack on my left shoulder.

I looked down at them and gestured out the window to the teens that were standing around on the side street, "They're the reason why I absolutely despise most people my age."

Zack decided to question further, "But what did they ever do to you?" His big round chibi eyes were wide with curiosity.

I sighed, "I call them 'T.O.C.W.E.S.P' or teens on crack with extra social problems, mainly because I disagree with their thinking. They do drugs and they're smoking and drinking at such a young age. They are no younger than me and no older than 19 or 20. I think that it's apart of being raised in the States. Everything here is I, I, and more I. I was raised not by one principal but three. I matter, others matter, and nothing matters. I know I'm not perfect, but seriously. Look at how much they're ruining their lives by doing this. I'd like to explain further, but you'll see when you attend my classes. Are you both going to stay hidden in my hair throughout the whole day?"

Genesis chuckled, "It'll only be me." He sat down on my right shoulder and pulled my hair to hide. Zack climbed back into the backpack and I zipped the bag up.

The car pulled up in one of the student parking spaces next to the back entrance, and we both got out. Rude insisted on carrying my books, so I was left to carry the book bag with the chibis on my back.

When we walked into the school I wasn't really surprised to find everyone staring at Rude and I. (well mostly Rude.) After a brief visit to my locker, I walked to the main office with Rude.

No. I won't write about the office. It's just a load of bull****. They kept telling me how tragic my situation was and how sorry they felt. Yeah well I never got the whole pity thing with people. There was no need and I didn't accept help easily. I normally wouldn't have minded, but the constant 'I'm so sorry for your loss' was getting annoying. I would've strangled every-single-person there if Rude weren't keeping a firm grasp on my shoulder and Genesis calming me down by quoting LOVELESS.

I was sent to first period after a brief talk with the principal and the lead detective of the school. Rude was given a pass to follow me everywhere I go, with the exception of some places. Genesis was still on my shoulder, but he wasn't reading LOVELESS. He was just sitting there I think…
