Oh how the tables have turned, i want them back the way they were. You used to be the hyper one and i was the emo one but thats all changed. SO CHEER UP!


The next day it was back to school and to our normal busy schedule. But today was a better than normal. First up was Food tech then Art followed by a not so fun lesson German and lastly Library. It was going to be a rather cushy day. I walked in alone, I couldn't find Mello at the train station this morning.

I wonder if I got him in trouble. That old guy was really freaky.

I opened my locker to have one of my books fall out and onto the ground. I sighed rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Pushing my laptop bag into the very back of my locker I reached down and picked up the book I thought I had lost. I was too worried about Mello to focus. Closing my locker I walked off and out onto the court yard. Some of the track team was training out on the field. Willow was at choir, Matt was nowhere to be seen and Mello was probably locked in his tiny room for having me over the other day. I was alone for the first time in ages.

A few bags were rested on the chairs around the place but there were quickly removed by a bunch of snotty teachers. Four circular garden beds with large trees were close to the corners of the space. A medium sized fountain was in the centre. I took a seat on the edge of the fountain and lightly traced my figure over the surface. My reflection was distorted in the rippling water. Something shimmered at the bottom of the fountain. Deeper down was a shiny coin. It was bad luck to take a coin out of a fountain. I decided to leave it as it was. A slow trickle of people started to arrive and so did a very tiered looking Matt. His Mario bag slung over his right shoulder. He walked over towards me and slumped down on the cold stone. He looked half asleep so I pocked him in the rib cage.

"What do you want?" He ground pulling the orange tinted goggles over his eyes.

"I'm so tired!" Flicking my fringe out of my eyes.

"Then you should have stayed at home."

"Mum wouldn't let me."

"Sucks!"

"Ya."

We sat in silence again. A few groups of people I didn't know past us. A young girl ran past and fell flat on her face. Matt immediately leapt to his feet and rushed to her side. She was only in grade 2 or 3 and it was obvious that they had never met before yet he seems compelled to take care of her. He and Mello were polar opposites. I don't think I could ever imagine Mello doing something so kind to a total stranger. Matt lifted the small girl to her feet she then thanked him and ran off. Standing now he made his way back to the fountain.

"That was nice of you."

"I do what I can."

"Hmm"

Something tells me this is going to be a long, long day.

Willows POV

NOOOO! I over slept again! I'm going to be late…Oh well this is my first time I just hope Spike hasn't done her homework!

I had been sprinting for 4 minutes straight now and I was exhausted. I had already missed my bus, missed choir practice and now I'm late for school! I kept sprinting dodging the people heading my way as best I could. Left, Right another Left

THWACK!

OWWW! WHAT THE FUDGE WAS THAT!

I looked up, I don't think there was a sign there yesterday.

To my surprize it was the blond that Spike had a crush on, Mello.

"Hey Willow, you okay?"

"Ya, Ya I'm just fine." I said rubbing my now numb nose. Who knew his back was so hard.

"Here." He outstretched his hand.

"Argh, thanks." Taking his hand he quickly pulled me to my feet.

"Running late I see."

"Why are you so cocky you're late as well!"

"It's just the way I am."

I rolled my eyes and waited for the green crossing guy to flash.

"God is that sign like painted red or something! Come on lets go." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me forward and onto the busy street.

I shrieked in terror.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! YOU'RE GOING TO GET US KILLED!"

"Relax it's faster this way."

Why is he so calm? Does he want to die or something?

We somehow managed to make it to the other side in one piece.

"See I told you."

"I don't see what Spike sees in you."

He mealy chuckled deeply.

"Anyway we should really get to class."

"Ya I guess your right for once."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"You're as bad as Spike."

He's so difficult!

We began to run. After my marathon sprint before I didn't feel up to the challenge and stopped for a break leaning on a wall.

I'm so unfit.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Ya, YA! Give me a sec."

He sighed deeply before eyeing me carefully.

"Like what you see?"

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Jerk"

He rolled his eyes before leaning down to get a drink from the bubbler. I watched him close his eyes and enjoy the refreshing taste. His Adams apple moving slightly as he swallowed.

I guess he is kind of hot. NO NO NO! He's Spikes she called dibs. Anyway it's Matt all the way.

When I opened my eyes again I almost had a heart attack. He way standing only an inch away from me almost glaring at me.

"You coming down with a fever or something you're all red."

"No I'm fine. Just give me a little room."

"Fine"

He straightened his back looking to his left then back at me.

"You done with your break?"

"Argh ya sure."

We continued to run until we came to your food technology call room. Spike was sitting in a corner at the very back. Matt was two sets away from her with his bags in the middle of them.

"Sorry were late miss."

"just take your sets you two. I don't want to know what you were up to."

My face when a deep red, It was nothing like that.

We walked to the back and I took the seat next to Spike.

"So what were you two up to?"

Miss Fads had left the room and everyone had turned to face us.

"None of your business and if anyone has a problem with this then you can confront me with your quire." Spike snapped lifting up her right hand and bunching it up to make a rather powerful weapon.

That seemed to stop any more questions as everyone turned around to face the front.

"So what are we making today?"

She turned to face me. A rather dull look on her face.

"Whatever we want it's sort of like a party for no good reason. But who am I to complain, I'm not going to pass up free food."

"Yes, I really can't see you doing something like that."

She sighed before turning to face me. Must haven't had much sleep last night she had dark circles under her eyes, either that or she hadn't taken off her make-up.

"Forget your make up?"

She merely nodded turning back to face the front.

Mrs Fads reappeared from behind a large door.

"Ok get in pairs and of to work."

The room was filled with the sound of squeaking chairs.

"Hurry up Spike or we won't get a place!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Besides there's enough for everyone so we don't have to rush."

"Ya just come on."

"So what do you want to make?"

"Umm, how about Nachos."

"Nah, to simple."

"Well what about, umm."

"What about Barbecue Kangaroo and macadamia salad with honey mustard dressing?"

"EWW! I'm not eating Kangaroo."

"Fine, fine well what about Chocolate and hazelnut mouse?"

"Yummy, sounds good!"

"Cool."

"So do you know what we need for that?"

"If I remember correctly we need 300g of milk chocolate, 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons caster sugar, 1 cup thickened cream, 1/3 cup roasted hazelnuts and some grated dark chocolate."

"Ok well do they have all that?"

"Not sure we will have to go check."

Spike and I had taken the station opposite Mello and Matt.

"So what are you two making?"

Mello lend his head backwards, his mouth open slightly, while Matt just turned and lend on the desk.

"Umm not sure yet but we have to make something savoury."

"Who said?"

"Mrs Fads, she said there were too many people making desserts."

"Sucks." Spike added

"Did you want to make a dessert?"

"Not really I'm not one for sweets." Matt said adjusting his goggles.

"I don't mind as long as someone else makes something with chocolate in it."

"So what are you two making anyway?"

"Chocolate and Hazelnut mouse."

"Sound's good."

We split up to go and get out equipment and ingredients and for the next 30 minutes they were done. Well almost they just needed to chill for another 10 minutes and then they were ready to eat. So we decided to ask Matt and Mello if they need any help.

"Want us to do anything for you?"

"You could wash these for us." Matt past us 5 bowls and a few knives.

"You know I would have been easier if you only used one knife."

"I realize but, we, argh."

Spike giggled, shaking her head.

"I'm drying."

"You never wash Spike."

"I'm not touching that water."

"Suck it up princess."

"What did you call me?"

"I called you a P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S."

"What?"

"PRINCESS! You really need to work on you spelling."

"Shut up and lets go."

She tugged me on the arm and we walked over to the sinks. After we washed them it was about time for our mouse to come out of the fridge.

I couldn't wait to eat I was starving and so was Spike, she always gets grumpy when she's hungry which is always.

I could hear the TC's talking about some party they were planning on having, not that we were invited anyway. Spike had left my side and was now retrieving the mouse from the fridge which was more of a big, cold room than anything else. Matt and Mello were finishing cleaning there equipment.

"So what did you end up making?" I asked grabbing a spare dish towel to help Mello dry.

"Lamb curry." Matt said passing me another bowl.

"Any rice?"

"You can't have curry without rice Willow."

Spikes POV

I entered the cool room and searched the shelves for our mouse.

"I'm sure I put them over here." I mumbled to myself as I pushed a few boxes out of my way.

I moved to a different shelf to find a few bottles of red and white wine, a box of cherry's, a large bag of noodles and our mouse.

"Now how did you get over here?" I thought picking up the tray.

I stepped out of the cool room and kicked the door shut behind me. The mouse was ready and looked so good but I decided not to sneak any tastes. Willow turned to face me as I walked passed and over towards our work bench. Placing the tray down and flicking some stray hair out of my eyes. Willow came up behind me holding a bunch of plates and bowls. I took some out of her hands and returned them to their rightful places. Returning to the mouse bringing four spoons with me.

"So are they ready yet?" Willow asked fiddling with her hair.

"They should be. Do you think we should wait until the guys curry is done?"

"How do you know they made curry?"

"Mello told me."

She nodded slowly looking down at the bench.

"What's up you seem a little less…hyper today?"

"Hmm? Oh it's nothing I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"About," she shifted uncomfortably "About how good this is going to taste!"

"Right, well I just wish those two would hurry up."

"mmm"

I turned around in my spot and watched the guys make their way over to us.

"How did yours turn out?" Matt questioned as Mello seemed to busy drooling over the chocolate.

"Not sure we haven't tried it yet." Willow stated suddenly regaining all of her energy.

"Well why not?"

"We said we would wait until you guys are done."

"Well that's nice and everything but ours won't be done for another ten minutes."

"How about we eat backwards." I asked looking over at the four spoons.

"Eat backwards?"

"Ya it's like when you eat dessert first."

I picked up the spoons and held them out for them to take. After we all had one we began to eat.

"Mmm yummy."

I nodded and so did Matt. Mello was shovelling it down like he hadn't eaten for days on end. I was trying so hard not to laugh and choke while I was watching him.

"Mello, can't you act a bit more civilized?"

"Fine, fine."

He slowed his eating to a steadier place and glared at Matt who just glared back. After the mouse was all gone we started on their curry. Sorta spicy but nothing too bad, it was rather good much to my surprise. Not that I didn't think it was going to be bad, they just didn't look like the sort of people who could cook or would cook for that matter. After our lovely backwards meal we cleaned up our plates and waited for the others.

Note to self don't eat so fast.

We had finished way before anyone else and now we had to wait 20 minutes before the bell rang and we could leave. So we sat and talked about random crap for a while until some of the others were finished and waiting. Everyone had moved to one large table and was chatting and playing childish games. After what seemed like hours of waiting the bell finally rang and we charged out of the room and started to make our way to the lockers.

"See you in a few." Matt yelled over his shoulder and we split to fetch our nom noms.

"Ok, see ya." I waved and quickly walked up besides Mello.

"Will this day ever end?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Never mind."

He really doesn't get it does he.
