Dear Diary,

I miraculously made a new friend today and remarkably my new friend is a girl!

Note to self, nothing bonds two girls together faster than milkshakes, arcade games and heartache.

After Makoto and I had learned each other's names she convinced me to sneak out of school with her for a period. At first I'd been a little hesitant skipping any kind of school. That was left strictly to a need to save the world, based from my mom's standpoint. So I knew if I got caught I would be D.E.A.D. But, after I met Makoto that all had been forgotten but even so she blessed me with some pearls of wisdom that helped ease my worries.

Ms. Haruna still thought I was in the nurse's office and after I didn't come back to class after the end of the period she would surly inform my next period teacher, Ms. Lambert where I was. The trick was that I needed to get back there before fourth period started then I would in the clear. As for Makoto she was in self-training for the next three periods. The international Kendo tournament was coming up in a couple of months and since she was representing our school training had been giving precedence over her regular classes.

Jumping onto the train we rode it into West City and Makoto led me into a small arcade in the Juuban district called Crown Game Center, where we were served the best milkshakes my taste buds ever had the pleasure of consuming; it was heaven in the form of a dairy delight. It also helped that the boy that made them was darn cute if I should much as add.

Motoki Furuhata, Virgo, single- which I might add is a crime- cute, loves karaoke, has a pet turtle named Kamekichi and makes a pretty mean milkshake. What more could a girl ask for? If I had room in my heart I would have snapped him up on the spot, but instead I left him a pretty hefty tip.

After Makoto and I exchanged in some light flirtation with Motoki we slurped down two milkshakes before hitting the arcade. We played a whole bunch of various games but got stuck on one game in particular, Code Name: Sailor V. (That girl looked pretty familiar but after a while I let the thought slip into the back of my mind.) Both Makoto and I got stuck on level six when we had to face a snake boss with multiple guns. No matter how high we jumped or what attack we shot at it the thing couldn't be defeated.

"Arg! This thing is rigged!" I screamed, cursing at the game console inveterately getting the attention of some of the gamers that surrounded us.

Sailor V's masked face appeared on the screen, her face was looking down defeated, with a tear drop making its way down her cheek and a frown replaced her usual smiling face.

Game Over.

With my eyes burning with anger and frustration I watched as the credits rolled reveling the game's high scores.

1,000,000,000………………………………………………………………….Aino, M.

999,125,040………………………………………………………………….Tenoh, Haruka

990,050,030………………………………………………………………….CraneGameJoe

"Usagi don't be so dramatic of course it's not rigged, you just need more practice." Makoto replied while pounding on the A key a hundred times per minute and looking at me. Before we both knew what happened her screen began blinking orange and red. A scream was heard and when Makoto looked back a sad faced Sailor V stared back at her. "What!" She screamed. "This thing is rigged!" She punched the screen right where Sailor V sad face was causing a crack to form.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk Makoto," I said while smiling. "Don't be so dramatic, it's not the game it's you. You just need some more practice." I laughed as she turned to look at me her face turning red with embarrassment.

She scratched the back of her head with her index finger while looking at the ground. "Well I guess I did get a little carried away."

"A little?" I questioned and we both shared a look while glancing at the cracked screen before we both busted out into a fit of giggles.

"And what happened here?" A voice called out from behind us causing us to stop in mid-giggle. We both swiveled around in our chairs to see Motoki standing behind us, a concerned expression etched on his face as he eyed the game's screen.

"Ah… well… you see what happened… umm." Makoto started her face burning red with embarrassment as she tried to come up with a plausible excuse for the crack.

Motoki laughed, "Guess you don't know your own strength Makoto." His laughter continued as Makoto face turned as red as a stop sign. "It's ok; we're getting replacements for the sequel that's coming out next month so we were going to have to toss it out anyways."

"Really?" Makoto asked, her face brightening.

"Yeah," He winked causing her to blush, though this time for a different reason. "Do you ladies want refills on your milkshakes?"

"Yes!" I yelled out before Makoto had a chance to reply causing Motoki to laugh.

"Your sure are enthusiastic," He smiled at me. "Ok one strawberry and chocolate milkshakes coming right up and this round is on the house." As those magical words came out of his mouth I couldn't help but squeal. "Be right back."

It seemed that both of our eyes were filled with hearts and stars as they followed him as he walked back over the counter to make us our creamy delights. But, it seemed to me that we were both in dreamy states for completely different reasons.

I heard Makoto sigh contently, "He looks just like the upperclassmen that dumped me." I nearly choked as I was trying to slurp up the last bit of milkshake left in my glass. "Isn't that a bad thing?" I asked shaking her out of her dreamy-like state.

"Oh… I don't know… he was-" She paused and I could see the pain forming behind her eyes.

"Do you want to go sit down in one of the booths and talk?" I asked and she nodded her head before giving me a forced smile. "And I thought we were here to talk about your guy problems." She said while forcing a giggle.

I gave her a sad smile as I remembered what I had been trying to forget about this past hour. "It's ok, we can both share our pain today… isn't that friends do?" I asked timidity. I still was unsure if Makoto wanted to be my friend or if she was just simply a nice person.

But to my relief she nodded her head, "Yeah that's what best friends do for each other." Again she scratched the back of her head with her index finger. "It's funny I usually don't get along with girls since most girls are afraid of me but it's weird I just feel so comfortable around you."

"Me too!" I agreed smiling from ear to ear.

Getting up, my new found best friend and I stood up, the tall brunette towering over me as we made our way to an unoccupied booth. Just shortly after taking our seats Motoki delivered to us our free milkshakes while taking our empty ones away for us.

"So tell me, what was the deal with this upperclassman?" I asked watched as her eyes gazed over with unshed tears.

"Well, me and this guy had been dating for five months. Usagi you have to believe me when I say I'm fully in love with him, he's just my world, you know." I nodded my head as she continued. "I thought that he felt the same way, well actually he told me he felt the same way. But, I guess that was just a big lie." She laughed mockingly while playing with her straw. "I guess I'm stupid for wanting to believe in the fantasy."

Reaching over the table I grabbed her hand in mine, "You're not stupid for believing in love."

Makoto smiled sadly at me, "Well I am stupid for giving him my virginity." She took a sip of her milkshake while a tear escaped past her defenses and rolled down her cheek. "I um… well… he told me that he loved me and wanted to be me forever. And well, he told me that if I loved him that I would want to do those kind of things with him. And like a fool I believed him. We did it like a total of three times before he dumped me and turns out that I wasn't really his girlfriend to begin with. He was messing with me on the side while really dating this girl in his class." Another tear fell down her face. "I really am stupid."

I slid, following the curve of the seat until I was next to her. I put my arms around and much as she had let me earlier allowed her to cry on my shoulder while I smoothly smoothed her hair with my fingertips. "You're not stupid." I repeated over and over again while my own tears escaped, sliding down my cheeks.

What a scene we made, two uniformed high school girls clinging to each other while sobbing to their hearts content in the middle of an arcade while our creamy delights melted.

After a long while Makoto pushed away from me gently, sniffling and whipping her face with her hands as I did the same. "I'm sorry," She paused reaching over towards the middle of table where a napkin dispenser sat. She ripped out a stack, divided them and handed a stack to me. "Tell me about your problems."

Using the napkin I blew my nose, "To be honest it's kind of like your situation but without the love… and frankly the dating part…" My mind searched for a way to explain the situation without giving out too many details. "And he's seeing another girl that I know of."

Makoto let out an "Ah ha" as she whipped underneath her eyes with the napkin. "A player, those are the worst kind of men out there."

"To make matters worst… one of his boys is in love with me and I used to know that I didn't like him like that… but now everything seems kind of strange. Sometimes when I'm with him my heart races and stuff but it's just so weird to think of him like that… and frankly I don't want to. And it's kind of weird that I have to force myself to stifle these strange feelings."

Makoto raised her eyebrow at me, "Are you sure you don't want to?"

I nodded my head, "My heart can only belong to one person, even though he's breaking it with all the strength he possess." I let out a laugh filled to the brim with all the bitterness I felt in my body.

Makoto smoothed the back of neck, "I understand I'm still in love with him even though all the stuff that he's done to me. And you know what; I'd take him back if he'd asked me right now for forgiveness." She let out a laugh that sounded a lot like mine. "Love's a bitch."

"And the guy's we're in love with are assholes."

With that statement made we both grabbed a hold of our milkshake glasses, clinking them together as if we were making a toast.

To prevent ourselves from breaking down once again we decided to call it quits for the day, promising to one another to pick up where we left off and get into more detail the next time we met up. We both got up and waved goodbye to Motoki and promised to come back real soon.

Hopping back on the train we rode back to our school, keeping the conversation light and off the topic of heartbreak. Instead we talked about music, idols, and actors that were absolutely gorgeous. I found out that Makoto also shares a love for the band GazettE and its ultra fine members.

Oh my god, drool worthy for sure.

Sneaking back into school had been a breeze and before parting Makoto and I exchanged cell phone numbers and planned a shopping trip.

I just have to make one thing very clear right now…

Makoto Kino and Usagi Son = Best friends forever.

So happy!

I finally made a friend in school that wasn't my brother or Trunks.

I could do cartwheels right now.

But no, instead I have to keep my cool and make it to fourth period before the bell goes off. Running down the busy hallways I zipped through the crowd. Maybe it had been the fact that I was walking on cloud nine right now that had made me careless but as I walked I hadn't noticed a certain red headed girl stick out her leg causing me to trip over it.

My face went face first into Mr. Tile, who I share a very good relationship along with Mr. Cement. I grimaced as the pain kicked in as I pulled myself up to see a crowd of girls laughing like hyenas. (And for that matter they all looked and smelled hyenas too.)

I groaned while rolling my eyes over them.

It was all the main members of the Official Trunks Briefs fan club.

Though I do have to mention that I could only really recall two of the girl's names and that was only because there futile attempts at making my high school life miserable. Jealous girls make me want to gag.

There was the President of the fan club, a wavy haired, green eyed and flat-chested girl named Zoisite, whose violent temper was known throughout the school. As President she required all of her lackeys to throw pink rose petals in her path so she could "only step in beauty," as she put it. I really felt bad for the janitor.

The vice president was the strange unorthodox girl who I swear was from outer space. For one thing she had light green skin and pointed ears, if I already didn't know that Namekians were a strictly boy race then I would have sworn that she was one of them. She claimed it was some kind of genetic disorder that her and her brother shared. But, I wasn't buying it. She had pink hair that almost reached her ankles with frost blue highlights. Her name was Ann.

Zoisite had a really smug look on her face as she watched me pick myself off the ground. "I'm guessing you two have a death wish." I threatened them as Zoisite tisked at me and Ann waved her finger side to side.

"Don't give us that attitude Son," Ann said with a giggle. "You should treat us more kindly and with respect."

I laughed mockingly, "And just why would I want to do that?"

Zoisite leaned in towards me, "Because if you don't then we're going to tell the whole school what a big slut you are." She laughed. "I mean Son couldn't you at least wait until you got out of school to fuck your boyfriend on the roof?" My eyes widened, "And then after you get done fucking him you dare to deceive Trunks." She growled getting closer to my face.

"If you don't want the whole school and most importantly Trunks know that you're a two-timing whore then you better do what we say." Ann continued as Zoisite stayed perfectly still.

Crowds of students past us but no one paid us any attention.

In that moment I really wanted to reach back and knock these two bitches lights out but I knew that I couldn't. For lack of a better term I was fucked. While gritting my teeth I grounded out my next word, "Ok."

I had no choice, I couldn't let Trunks find out and if that meant humiliating me for these stupid bitches then I would take my punishment.

"I knew that you'd see it our way," Zoisite said while tapping my cheek with her hand. "Meet us in Room 435 on the third floor in fifteen minutes." She ordered before her and her little cronies walked away laughing like hyenas while pink rose petals being tossed around.

Great…

This was exactly what I needed.

I knew why Zoisite hated me; she was head over heels obsessed with Trunks. She kind of reminded me a little of myself in that aspect.

But I knew that Ann didn't like Trunks at all; I heard she just joined his fan club because detesting me was like one of their prerequisites of joining. Instead she had a pretty bad brother complex. She had grown to hate me when her brother, Ail and Mamoru had started the Official Usagi Son fan club. Ail was semi-cute and played pretty good flute but he was just as strange as his sister. I heard through the grapevine too that they belonged to this bizarre religion where they worshiped this tree called the Makaiju.

Defiantly staying far away from him.

While shaking my head and cursing my horrible luck I quickly made an appearance in my fourth period classroom and told my teacher a whole sea of lies. Fortunately for me Ms. Lambert had already called him and told him that I was in the nurse's office all period. So he believed me when I said I still wasn't feeling well and needed to go lie down again.

Excusing myself, I exited and ran up to the third floor and found room 435, opening the door I found that the science lab was completely vacant except for the President and Vice President. "Take a seat," Zoisite ordered as she presented me an empty desk they had pulled to the side.

I walked across the classroom and sat in the seat that she had pointed at.

"We're just going to go over the new rules that you will be adhering to from now on Son," Ann said while taking out a three ring binder that was filled to capacity.

Oh God, here we go.

Absent minded I palmed the Styrofoam cup filled with water that sat in front of me and brought it to my lips, gulping it down. I only got half of its contents down before my vision began to turn black; I dropped the cup back onto the desk as my arm lost all its strength. Forcefully I jerked my head up with all the strength that I could muster, looking up the pair.

They both had wolfish smiles plastered on their faces. "That was easy Son, didn't think you'd fall for that one so quick." Ann said while Zoisite laughed evilly next to her.

"Finish her," I heard Zoisite command and watched in horror as Ann grabbed a needle and a bottle filled with some sort of medicine out of her bag. I tried to fight off the effects of whatever I had drank but it was like I had no strength left in me.

While smirking Ann lifted up my arm, tapping my vein she injected me without so much as even applying an alcohol swab. "Bye bye," She said…

I f e l t e v e r y t h i n g d r i f t t o b l a c k.

An: So I know, I'm evil for leaving it there. Umm also I'm probably not going to be able to update for a while. I got this chapter out really fast because it had already been written and edited by the fabulous Aquatonic… for that matter so is the next chapter. But, my computer is having some boo-boos right now that I desperately need to fix. So I maybe out of commission for a bit.

I hope to get it fixed soon but my brother is the one that's going to be fixing it and he just started school sooo.. we'll see.

Just a warning next chapter is defiantly rated M.

Thank you all for reviewing! I'm in a bit of a rush cause I need to be leaving for work soon so I gotta cut myself off but I really just want to thank everyone that took the time to review! I always appreciate it!
