I Need You by Duckie4rmabove

Chapter 12 - A New Day

It was a brand new day and Mai was happy. She walked out of her house and saw the beautiful sun shinning down on her. She began her trip to school, when she heard someone running to catch up with her.

"Mai!" A familiar voice traveled through the air.

Mai turned around to see her friend running towards her.

"Hey!" She yelled

Mai waited for her to catch up, she smiled at the sight of her friend running.

"So......" Christina panting.

"Breathe Christina" Mai padded her on the back.

"Thank you" Christina caught up with her lungs.

"Why the rush?" Mai wondered

"I want to know everything! Don't leave out a single detail!" Christina gave her a big smile.

Mai laughed and she told her every little detail as they walked to school.



When Mai and Christina got to school, some people started whispering at them. Mai heard things like "There she is" "It's her!" "So looks so nice though!" "How did she steal his heart?" "I can't believe it!" But everyone stopped whispering as they saw a boy glooming through the hallway. No one spoke to him; everyone gave him an evil glare.

"What's wrong?" Mai asked the guy who had his head down. Everyone gasped a little. "She spoke to him!" She heard someone say.

The classmate of Mai looked up surprise to see someone talking to him. He slowly raised his hand with a light blue piece of paper in his hand.

Mai grabbed it at looked at it strangely. "A piece of paper?" Mai was confused.

"It's a Baby Blue Slip!" Christina almost fainted.

"You're scared of a piece of paper" Mai asked her classmate.

"Mai........You're new........A baby blue slip means you're on the bad side of the 3 rulers.....anyone who talks or be nice to the person......is also on the bad side of the 3 rulers" Christina explained to her.

"You're the person that Andy was talking to yesterday in history" Mai finally recognize him.

He nodded. Mai felt that it was un-necessary for this slip. So she ripped it in half and let it fall on the floor. Everyone was stunned by the act that Mai had just committed.

"You can tell him if he has a problem with it, he can come to me to deal with it" After with that said Mai left and Christina followed her.

"Wow are you sure Andy would like that?" Christina was now afraid for her.

"Like I said if he has a problem with that, he can talk to me about it" Her classmate looked at Mai like their savior now.

At lunch people greeted Mai and offered her little things. But as soon as they saw the 3 Gods walking towards her they all scramble.

Andy led them to the table where Mai and Christina were sitting at. He placed his lunch across from Mai and sat there and looked at her. Then Andy held up two piece of paper. Mai recognize it as the blue slip she tore up.

"I guess you heard" Mai calmly said as she didn't know what was going to happen next.

"It's ok" Andy smirked and then looked at Christina.

Christina got the point and said "Um....... I got to talk to my teacher, I'll see you later Mai" she quickly made up an excuse. Then Terry and Joe also left, when they noticed the two, well at least Andy, wanted to be alone.

"How about a movie this weekend?" Andy started off.

"Actually......." Mai didn't know what to say.

"You're right......the movies isn't a good place to for a first date is it?"

Mai laughed a bit. "Date?"

"Mai....... I never felt this way towards anyone..... you're special to me" Andy confessed all his feelings.

"You're the first guy who's been so forward with me......and something attracts me to you......I don't know what" Mai smiled as she also told Andy how she felt.

Andy was glad she felt the same way he did. "So how about we go to the amusement park this weekend?"

Mai smiled. "I have no choice, you said you don't take no for a answer"
