I Need You by Duckie4rmabove

Chapter 1 - The New Girl

"I'm late, I'm late" Mai rushed down the streets. "My first day of school and I'm late!" She screamed at herself. She finally got to her school before the bell could ring; she walked up the stairs to her new school and looked for her locker.

"Excuse me can you please tell me where I can find locker number 77?" Mai asked a silver blond hair good looking guy.

He looked at her oddly and didn't say a word. He just kept on walking by.

"Sorry...... Didn't know you didn't have a brain" Mai insulted him quietly.

Mai heard a little giggle and turned around. "You heard me?" She asked the girl who was laughing.

"Sorry yeah I heard, you must be new, I'm Christina Hisgashi" She held her hand for Mai to shake. Mai took the offer and they clicked immediately. Christina showed where Mai's locker was, which one pretty close to hers, and she gave her a tour around the school. Christina and Mai became great friend on the first day of school.

At lunch Mai and Christina had a break to talk over the people you can bother and the people you shouldn't or they kick your butts.

"Since your new Mai, I think I need to tell you something"

"Ok"

"Well you see in every school there is like a group of people like....."

"Popular people, the rulers of the school......yes go on"

"Ok, well these aren't just your regular popular guys, their fighters, very good one indeed. Their Joe Hisgashi, my idiotic brother, and his two best friends, Andy and Terry Bogard. Andy Bogard was the one you ask this morning, that's why he looked at you weirdly. No one has been brave enough to speak directly to them. They are at the envy of every girls list and at the top of most feared people on guy's list." Christina explained to Mai just in case she ever bum into them.

"If Joe is your brother doesn't that make you popular too?" Mai curiously asked

"You know brothers; you want to pretend not to know them at school or they'll embarrass you" Christina didn't want anything to do with her brother.

"Oh ok, and then are you a fighter too?"

"Yes, but not a very good one compared to my brother"

"I see"

As the girls exchanged their question and answers the bell rang and they were off to their next classes.

"Good afternoon Class, I understand we have a new student this year, can you please stand up and introduce you to the rest of the class?" The teacher kindly handed over the floor to Mai.

"Hi, I'm Mai Shiranui" Mai stood up and said what she was told. Students around her whispered to one another and giggled. Since Mai wasn't the type of girl to take all of the students talking behind her back she expressed herself.

"What are you whispering about? I'm right here, you can tell me" The students were shocked when they heard Mai say this. Other students would just sit down and lay their heads down.

"I too would like to know what is so funny. The girl simply stated her name" A voice came from the back and all heads turned to see Andy Bogard was speaking. Mai was surprise that a person actually stood up for her, even though he was popular and ignored her when she asked him a simple question this morning.

"We were......ummmm.....just saying......uhhhh..." A classmate slipped and tripped over words.

"Come on David, we don't have all day here" Andy getting very impatient.

"That's enough class, please calm down and let's get to work" The teacher interrupted.

The class did as they were told, and the teacher started on the 6 day war. When the bell rang, students stammered out mad like they were running away. Mai stayed behind as watched Andy get this stuff together slowly.

"Thank you....." Mai finally spoke up.

Andy looked up and realized how beautiful the girl was, her long flowing hair, her tiny waist, and her slender legs. It was enough to make any man go wild, but he didn't show it. He simply gave her a glared for speaking directly into his face

"I know you can speak. So how about saying something to me?" Mai was inches away from Andy's face.

"Never Ever speak to me so close or speak to me at all again" Andy pushed Mai on the floor, he felt guilty for doing it to such a beautiful girl, but he couldn't show his weakness when he's the toughest guy in school along with his friends. He left the room with his backpack on one of his shoulders.

"Man what a pain in the neck" Mai got up and watched him walk out of the room and into the hallway. "He's nice to you one second and he hits you the next" Mai gruff and hurriedly went to her next class.
