See, see?! I told you that I'd update sooner! And for once, I kept my promise! Oh, I am so proud of myself. lol So here's the next chapter! It's not Jim, but please be patient. You might be happy with who's next... (hinthintwinkwink) Anyway, I really like Tamiya! She's one of my new favorites. lol She's basically the foil to Milly. I hope you guys like her as much as I do.

Dedication: I meant to dedicate the last chapter to FlowerofAdversity. She had reviewed Herve's chapter but I was unable to respond to her review (she was not logged in). I wanted to thank you for the beautiful review she gave. FlowerofAdversity, I'm sorry that you ever felt the way Herve did and I'm glad to know that you are taking such a positive light on such horrible circumstances. We've all been in that situation before in our lives and not everyone handles it with as much grace as you have. I know you will shine, too.

Tamiya

1. She always paints her nails a bright color, like neon green or shocking pink. It gives her confidence.

2. Milly might want to grow up fast, but not her. She loves being a kid too much.

3. She sends a copy of the Kadic Weekly home every week, hot off the press. Her mother always writes back to tell her that her work is fantastic.

It's not the only reason she helps write the papers, but it's a big one.

4. Most teenagers claim that music is their drug, but not her. Sure, she likes music, but she'd rather spend the afternoon taking photographs than listening to the Jonas Brothers.

5. Every Friday night, she and Milly watch silly movies and eat mountains of popcorn. So what if they don't spend weekends with dates and boyfriends? They have plenty of fun together anyway.

6. One of her greatest fears is becoming dull or a cliché.

7. She had been so sure that classroom was empty when she started singing along to her iPod. Again, she had been positive that the room was deserted when she began dancing like a lunatic around the desks.

Then she heard a small cough and looked up to see that handsome new kid, William, standing awkwardly in the doorway. Oh gosh, she had never been so embarrassed before in her life.

8. She's better than Milly at grammar, so it's always up to her to make sure the commas are in the right place and that all the words are spelled right. It's dorky, but she thoroughly enjoys it.

9. If she could have any super power in the world, she would want to be able to shower really quickly. Showers, in her opinion, are just a waste of time.

10. It kills her that she doesn't know how to play any instruments. Whenever she listens to an instrumental piece, she pretends to be the pianist.

11. Everyone fawns over Ulrich, except for herself and that pink-haired girl. Yeah, he's good looking, but he's so boring! She can't understand how anyone could be that two-dimensional. She'd pick a personality over looks any day.

12. She absolutely hates the bare walls in the dorms. Her side of the room is covered in movie posters, doodles drawn in class, pictures cut out of magazines. Anything to cover the boring white.

Milly's side has a poster or two, but otherwise it's bare. Tamiya never says anything, but Milly's naked walls bother her to no end.

13. Year round, she leaves her side of the dorm decorated for all the major holidays. Even in January, she leaves her pumpkin lights up.

14. She admires Odd's morals. He may date all the girls in his grade and the grade above, but he is gentlemanly enough to not date the younger girls. It's sweet of him, it really is.

She just wishes he would bend his own rule for her.

15. For some reason, she likes being the last person to say good-bye on the phone.

UlrichFans, I apologize for fact 11. But as much as I love Ulrich, he has more of a personality in fan fics than he does in the show. Honestly... But, please don't let that deter you from reviewing! Let me know what you liked or didn't like!

Have a swell day!
