Thank you all for the reviews! It really made my day to read them. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter and if you have any questions, just ask.

As we all exited the girls bathroom we were greeted with the strong smell of fruit and an eyeful of Catherine. Her bright sundress was a harsh contrast agaisnt the dank hallway she stood in. It seemed like she glowed with her own power, if that was possible.

"Hey girls."

We all looked from one to another before looking back at her. The halls were empty which meant that class was still in session. Catherine held her book infront of her tightly and smiled at us with an unusual warmth. Why was she here?

"Hey babe, how ya doin'?" Nikki asked, her New Yorker accent was apparent with each sylable. She slung her arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to her, and further from Catherine. Yeah, she really didn't like this one too much. Catherine ignored her question as if she didn't matter to her and kept her eyes on me.

"Hey... Izzy? I was wondering if I could talk to you for a bit- alone." Catherine's eyes narrowed on Nia and Nikki.

"Whatever you have to say to Izzy can be said to us" Nia shot back. She had uncrossed her arms and stepped between me and Catherine as if she was posing as a threat. What is up with these over protective friends?

Catherine seemed to of paused for a brief moment, as if to analyze the situation before smiling, "I don't think so."

"Come on girls. There is no need to fight over me." I laughed, trying to lighten the mood. There was only a distant laugh that came from down the hall.

"That is usually my line Izzy." The voice got closer and closer until that unmistakable purple hair reflected the lights from above. Dark Mousy. As he walked closer, Catherine seemed to take a step away from him. She looked at him in disgust but she soon composed herself. Dark's eyes swept around us and he gave his trade mark smile before he bowed and said,"Well hellooo babes."

"What a lovely bunch we have here." Dark said as he took Nikki's hand from off of Izzy and kissed it sweetly. The guesture didn't go unnoticed because she didn't shrink away in disgust. Nia just shook her head at such an action being done in this day and age.

"Who the hell are you?" Demanded Nia. She crossed her arms and gave a pointed gaze to the strange man with purple hair. Dark did not ignore her either as he gave her a bow.

As he rose, he looked her in the eyes, "my my my, you both are so pretty. Please don't tell me that Izzy swings that way and that you two are her girlfriends."

Nia and Nikki laughed at the comment while Izzy just seemed to glare. She could already tell that he was trying to "smooze" them. While their attention was on each other, Catherine elbowed Izzy gentle in the side.

"Hey" Catherine leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "I hate to break things up but I just came from Mr. Hiwatari's office. You might want to move it before Satoshi makes his rounds..."

Izzy's eyes widden and her skin paled instantly. From her lips she swore, gaining the group's attention.

"We need to leave. NOW" she said. Neither of the girls needed to question her as to why, so both of them grabbed a hold of her hand and they started their dash down the hallway and past Dark Mousy.

"Hey, wait a minute!" He shouted, though his eyes were glued to their asses as they ran. His smile was interrupted as a door, opposite to where the girls were running to, slammed open.

"Stop! You are all skipping!" The voice of Satoshi echoed down the hall and suddenly Dark started running too.

Catherine on the other hand, simply walked to Satoshi. Her steps never faltered and her gaze never lowered as she kept walking towards the principal's son. As she finally walked past him she bit her lip and giggled. Satoshi didn't bother looking at her as he ran after Dark and the others.

Izzy's POV

We finally made it back to our classes before anyone was the wiser. A simple bathroom break became a 'trip to the nurses office'. I had such a sweet teacher, I almost felt bad for taking advantage of her. Almost. From the complexion of my skin my teacher really had thought that I might of stayed there but I insisted on staying in class- playing the part of a 'good student'. I truely did try to do my work, but the shock of recent events had sent my mind into turmoil. The new principal, Satoshi and Krad. KRAD! That there was a huge chunk of anxiety. My encounter with him has been flashing through my head every time I blinked. Now that I think of it, this guy might be driving me mad.

I was scribbling away, deep in thought on my paper until I heard the faintest of voices calling out to me. I looked around, thinking someone might of said my name since "Izzy" is phonetically similar to many words. I caught a brief glimps of blonde outside the classroom's tiny little window; that flash of blonde triggered the memory of those golden orbs that I had gazed deeply into while I fought for my life. I looked back to my work only to see those exact eyes staring at me on the paper. I fell out of my chair at the sight and felt everything start to spin. Such commotion had everybody giggling at me and I just had to get away. Had to get air. Had to leave.

"Can I be excused?"

I must of looked like a mess because before the teacher could even answer my question, I grabbed my pencil, crumpled my paper into my pocket and made my way to the door only to feel my vision begin to fuzz around the edges. My knees gave way and my next step crumbled and I faded into the darkness. Not even the loud commotion nor the impact could wake me up from such a stress-induced faint.

It's short, I'm sorry! To make it up to everyone, I've decided to add two short chapters instead of one really long chapter!
