Kuki splashed the cool water on her face and sighed, at least she was safe in the protection of the Monarch Hall's girls' bathroom. She was so...STUPID! She slumped against the wall and slid down into a fetal position. She hugged her knees to her chest and softly sniffled. WHy had she let her guard down? Why did she break down in front of him! Why did she show how inferior she was to him! To that cold bastard! He was so cold-hearted he could be the ice prince! Kuki smiled weakly at the lame joke and continued to think to herself. She wondered what everyone was doing...Abby, Nigel, and Hoagie were probably talking trash about her around now. Kuki could already picture it, her old friends sitting in the school's cafeteria and talking behind her back.

"Abby thought we were her friends." Abby would said sadly.

"She just sat there! She let him call me fat and did NOTHING to stop him!" Hoagie would yell.

"I'm ashamed that I was ever her friend..." Nigel would mumbled quietly.

Kuki hiccupped a few times and looked down. What had been wrong with her? Why hadn't she stood up for her friends? She knew them WAY longer than she knew that cold-hearted bastard! Kuki frowned, she wanted a time machine. She wanted a time machine so that she could go back in time and stand up for them. She wanted to go back in time and never sit in the Monarchs chair, then she would be a nobody and not the current talk of the school. She wanted a time machine to go back in time and NEVER move to this STUPID SCHOOL! She sniffled again and grabbed her chair bag...Ace and Talia probably HATED her guts right now.

"She's such a stupid WHORE, I can't believe that I was her FRIEND!" Talia would scream as hot tears poured down her face and down the hall Ace would be miserable.

"It's all that bitch's fault, god I fucking HATE Kuki!" He's scream to the skies.

Kuki bit her lip as it began to trembled. Her knees wobbled as she made her way down the north stairwell. She turned the corner and pushed open the glass door and walked down the hall to the cafeteria. She had another strong urge to puke, the same urge that she had when she caught Wally and Rachel sucking tongues. Kuki's stomach lurched and she fell to her knees. Why was she so...useless? She couldn't help her friends, she couldn't admit how she felt to Wally, and she couldn't mach friends up...she could only split them up! Kuki choked back a sob and sniffled. She was a mistake, she decided. She hated herself. She was just a...a mistake! She was a worthless mistake! She began to cry and looked around to make sure no one saw her. She continued to sob, louder and louder each second. Until she was surprised all at once.

"Kuki...?" Kuki looked up, and her eyes widened. Her breath hitched, her heart thumped in her chest...W-What?!


Kuki wasn't close, She was NO WHERE NEAR close to what her friends were all doing.

"Abby don't think that was very nice." Abby lincoln said calmly. Hoagie chuckled.

"Wow, what a major jerk. He should learn some manners." The American boy suggested and Nigel nodded.

"He has a strong effect on Kuki though, I think we should find her. We'll only be in town for the weekend." Nigel explained and the other two nodded. As they began to walk down the empty hall it grew awkwardly silent and the only sound heard was their footsteps. Finally Nigel broke the silence. "Do you think Kuki was...hurt back there?" He asked. Hoagie shrugged and Abby nodded slowly.

"Abby noticed, but she thought she was seeing things." Abby explained and Nigel nodded.

"But, Why would Kuki be hurt?" Hoagie butted in. "She's Kuki Sanban! The happy, hyper girl that everyone loves!" Hoagie grinned. "Nothing can bring her spirits down, right?"

"Well it seems that bully, has broken through her barriers." Nigel said distastefully. "Who was he anyway?" Nigel asked in annoyance.

"I have no idea." Hoagie shrugged.

"Neither does Abby." The three walked on.


Elsewhere...

Ace found Talia sobbing on the east stairwell. He jogged down the steps and paused as he saw her sitting at the foot of them. He stared at her for a while, admiring her beauty. He slowly made his way down and sat next to her. She continued to cry into her hands and ignored him, he awkwardly scooted closer than her and placed his hand nervously behind his head.

"Talia..." He said, but she ignored him and kept crying. "Look...I'm no good at things like this." He admitted. "I usually dump girls without caring about their feelings." Ace said nonchalantly, this made Talia sob even louder. Ace sweat-dropped. "But...I care about YOUR feelings." He said softly and suddenly the stairwell was quiet. Talia's face remained hidden behind her hands as she listened to the ex-Monarch speak. Ace bit her lip before continuing. "I-I don't know how much you saw." Ace said. "Or what you thought..." He added. "But, I don't think of Kuki that way." He said. "I think of YOU that way." He said nervously. "And...And I think you're really pretty." He played with one of her braids and gave a playful tug on her bright blue bow in her hair. "I actually...I was planning to ask you out." He said, blushing like crazy. Talia raised her head and looked at Ace in wonder. "I came by your locker to ask...but Kuki showed up and pulled me away." He said. He turned to the girl and grasped her hands. "Talia...you're the most beautiful girl I've seen in my life." He stated honestly. "And...I know this is SUPER fast." He said quickly. "Budeyethnkeyeikeooh!" He said quickly.

"What?" Talia asked.

"Deyethnkeyeikeyou." Ace said a bit slower.

"What?!" Talia asked as Ace squeezed her hands once more.

"I think I like you!" Ace shouted, face redder than a tomato. Talia just stared in his eyes, she was speechless and after Ace's echo died down she just stared at him. Ace was sweating buckets and it was getting very awkward.

"Well are you going to kiss him or not?" Talia and Ace both looked up to see Fanny with an empty bag of horse-radish bombs. Talia's eyes widened and she looked back at Ace, before squeezing her eyes shut, grabbing the sides of his face, and shoving her lips onto his. Fanny raised an eyebrow. "Geez, I said KISS, not make out with the stupid boy." She walked off. The two continued to kiss, even in her absence. The world faded to black and suddenly...they broke apart. They both panted softly, refusing to stare at each other, both of their faces were flushed.

"I-I think I like you too." Talia said softly. Ace felt his lips, they were buzzing...

"Then do that again." He spoke and Talia looked up in surprise. Ace leaned forward, connecting their lips once more.

And around the corner...Erik watched silently...pure hurt all over his face.


"What is it like?" Wally asked. The boy in front of him was shaking uncontrollably in fear. "Chad you better speak up or I'll kick your sorry ass again!" Wally threatened.

I remember you." Wally stated.

"I...I-...I um..." The boy was lost for words.

"Fuck you." Wally said. "Get the hell away from me little fag." Chad instantly jumped up and ran out of the room, fleeing the school.

"You want to know, really?" Chad asked. Wally nodded. "It's excitng really." Chad said nervously, planning his words carefully. "I-I don't really know how to explain it." Chad said. "Your blood rushed through your veins and evev though you get tired...your adreline (spelling error?) kicks in..." Chad said. "And you go wild...after the one thing you want most." Chad said.

"And what is that?"

"The thing?" Chad asked, and Wally nodded once. "Pleasure." Chad spoke. Wally's eyes narrowed.

"Get out of my sight you little fag." He spat Chad's nickname and the other boy ran out of the courtyard. Wally continued to smoke his cigarette and breathed out. So sex was all about pleasure? Wally rolled his eyes. He could get pleasure when he kissed Kuki...if he ever kissed her again. He FELT pleasure when he kissed Kuki, was it possible that he could feel the same pleasure...through sex? He was already kissing other girl's and seeking out the pleasure that Kuki gave him when he kissed HER, but he couldn't find it anywhere! No other girl in the damn school gave him that wonderful feeling in his stomach. He sighed...maybe he would try this...sex. His phone beeped and he looked at the caller ID. "Ah...so he's come." He exited the courtyard.


"Jase?" Kuki asked.

"Kuki what's wrong with you?" The boy dropped his backpack and rushed forward, taking the smaller girl into his arms.

"W-Wally." She whispered softly, snuggling up to Jase. He only hugged her in return.

"That bastard always has to do something, eh?" He chuckled. "What did he do to you, Cookie?" The nickname made Kuki's heart skip a beat.

"He...he hurts me!" She cried into his jacket. "He hurts me and doesn't care!" She cried. "And I want him to care for me..." She said. "I want love!" She said. "I hate feeling like all the other slutty school girls in this stupid school. I hate chasing after him and...being ignored!" She exclaimed. "I just want...I just want someone to hold me."

"That's what I'm doing Cookie." Jase smirked. Kuki tried squeezing closer to Jase and the two sat in silence. Kuki was shocked...how had he gotten up here? Did he really leave California to come up here? What for? Questions swam through Kuki's head and she didn't know what to ask first...but she was soon going to find out everything.

"Upon arriving, the boy caresses his girlfriend." A cold voice cracks through the air. Kuki looked up to see Wally standing there with an unimpressed look on his face. "I'm not surprised by your performance." Jase stood to his feet and Kuki jumped up, grabbing her bag. "Did you bring the money?" Wally ignored the girl and turns to Jase.

"Yes, my father signed all the papers and the real estate agent..." Kuki tuned out from their conversation and looked at Wally's face. It was emotionless as they talked about business between their parents. Kuki admired his handsome features, but noticed something was off. His skin...his usually sun-kissed tan was pale. He was slightly shaking...why was he shaking!? Kuki frowned. His hair was darker...and his eyes...his bright emerald eyes that shined. They were dull and emotionless. He was clenching and unclenching his fist as Jase spoke. The bell rang and his eyes switched over to Kuki.

"Sanban, since you are not a Monarch I believe you should be on your way to class with all the other students. Go pay attention and take notes. Listen to the teacher." He recommended and waved her off and Kuki turned on her heel, her body automatically walking to English. But she didn't want to go to English. She wanted to turn around and face the 17-year-old boys behind her. She wanted to walk up to Wally and ask him why he looked so different! She wanted to know why he was shaking! She wanted to know why he kept clenching and unclenching his fist! She wanted to know what WAS WRONG! But she didn't do that...she walke d English and sat in her seat as the bell rang. And she paid attention to class and she listened and took notes...because that's what Wally told her to do.


Woah...um...did anyone expect Jase to show up? No? Neither did I. I originally had him come in during chappie 12. But seeing as I'm bored by my own story...I guess I'll just have to put him in naow, ne? So...can we reached 146 reviews? Today is March 20th and I have only 139 reviews. I think we can get there, ne? Lol...please review! Fav! Or Follow!

You can Fav or Follow Me too! But I'm not special enough to be favored! And I walk across highways without looking, so...I don't think it's best to follow me...^-^
