"Yay it's Friday!" I shouted and ran throughout the apartment in the morning. "Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!" I sang (terribly).

"Stop singing that stupid song!" Bryan groaned from his room.

"Yea, no one likes that retarded song anyway." John called out from his room.

"I know. It's such an annoying song." I called back from the kitchen.

"Then why are you singing it?" Chad asked coming out from his room.

"Why else? To annoy you all with this "wonderful" teen pop music!" I said grinning.

Chad grinned back and playfully punched my arm.

"I think this is going to be a great Friday." I declared to the others on our walk to school.

"It was until you sang that gay song." Bryan joked.

"I actually never heard the song. I only heard other people sing some of it." I explained.

"Well, I'm hoping I won't hear it for real." John mumbled.

"Hey everyone! Black Star is here!" Black Star said as he came out of nowhere (again!) before us four entered the academy.

"No, I don't want to battle again." I said.

"We're not gonna battle." Black Star said.

"Then what do you want?" Bryan asked.

"To say that it doesn't bother me that you guys defeated me. Actually, it helps me become stronger and push harder to win. So next time we battle, be prepared because Black Star is gonna kick your ass!" Black Star declared and pumped a fist in the air.

That's when I kneed Black Star in the grouch and got passed him.

"Ali! You're gonna pay for that! Now I'll have no mercy on you!" Black Star groaned.

"Ok." I said grinning as I opened the door.

Everyone else was snickering as they passed Black Star.

"That's something I should do more often." Chad said.

"I know right?" I said.

"So how'd it go? Black Star said he was going to "confront" you guys." Soul said coming up to us with Maka and Tsubaki.

"Um," I said grinning then started laughing.

Bryan, Chad, and John started laughing too. Soul, Maka, and Tsubaki were very confused.

"Ali kneed him in the grouch!" John said still laughing.

"No way!" Maka said.

"Yea." I barely said because I was laughing so hard.

"That's something you would do, Ali." Soul said grinning.

Then Black Star came in. Everyone stopped laughing.

"What?" Black Star asked annoyed.

"Nothing'." I said trying to hide smile.

I guess I didn't hide my smile well because Black Star grabbed me by my shirt, pulled me closer, and said "You were laughing at me behind my back weren't you?"

"Black Star, calm down." Tsubaki said worriedly as everyone approached Black Star.

I grabbed Black Star's arm that was holding me and flipped him up in the air and to the ground.

Everyone stopped and looked astonished.

"I didn't know you could do that." Bryan said.

"Me either." I said grinning.

Soul gave a hand to Black Star and pulled him up.

"Well, I think we should stop fighting each other and get to class now." Maka said.

"Ugh, how did we get off on the wrong foot with Black Star?" I asked at the apartment after school.

"Everyone's off on the wrong foot with him." John said.

"Well, it had to start somehow." I said.

"I guess when I beat him at video games." Bryan said.

"Wow, so this dude hates us because Bryan beat him at video games." Chad said.

"I guess so." I said.

"He's just cocky." Bryan said.

"Well, I'm gonna kill him some day." Chad said.

I looked over and grinned because I thought Chad was joking but he looked pretty serious. Well, I guess I don't blame him.

I got into bed later at night and thought about today. Life at the academy would be so much easier if Black Star would just chill. I drifted off to sleep.

Creeeeek

This is what I heard in the middle of the night. It didn't faze me because I heard these noises all the time in my house I use to live in. So I ignored it. More strange noises. I started to get suspicious. My night light turned off. Yes, I still have a night light.

Oh, I'm just getting paranoid.

"Ali." A demonic voice called out.

I flinched and opened my eyes. Darkness surrounded me.

What should I do?

Then all of a sudden, a red demonic face came out in front of me with an evil laugh. I yelped and punched its face as hard as I could.

"Whoa, stop it Ali!" I heard a familiar voice.

The lights turned on and I see John by my doorway and Chad next to me with a mask.

"What the hell!" I asked partly yelling and partly laughing.

"What's going on?" Bryan asked poking his head into the room.

"We scared Ali good." Chad said laughing.

"Well, I got your face good too." I said grinning and pulling the covers over my head.

"Yeah, you should've seen it Bryan. Ali punched Chad in the face." John said laughing.

"It's a natural reaction." I said under the covers. "Now get out of my room."

Bryan and John said good night and left. As for Chad, he came over and pulled the covers off of me.

"What?" I asked with closed eyes and grinning.

Chad put a hand on my shoulder. "Good night, Ali." Chad said soundly.

"Good night." I said a little sursprised.

He smiled at me then left.

Wow that was unexpected. Hmm, does he like me or something? It was such a loving moment. I don't know! Grrr, dudes are so confusing sometimes. Oh well, at least I got to punch someone in the face without getting in trouble. Although, I kinda feel bad now after he kindly wished me good night. Gr! If only that was Bryan I punched!
