MimiKitty: Here's the next chapter. What happens when Kid gets in trouble? Who will save her? The only way to find out is to read. If you're a Korcha fan I don't think you'll want to read it. Also to stop the confusion this takes place during there junior year Kid, Serge, and Glenn are seventeen (Glenn's older then Serge. This will be important later in the story). Any other students will be around that age as well if a new student comes I'll inform you of any thing major. Hopefully you'll like this story if not then I'll discontinue writing it and work on something else. Thanks for all of the support! Remember R&R!! Important author's note at bottom! I need ideas!!

Chapter 2: The Flame

Her smile could melt anyone's heart. She tucked her hair behind her ear and continued her introduction.

"…I moved here and that's pretty much it," she said thinking if she missed anything.

"Alright. Miss Schala you may sit in the seat next to Glenn," she said pointing to the empty spot.

Kid walked slowly eyeing the whole class and her eyes landed on Serge. She smiled and noticed his eyes widen in surprise. She took her seat and was greeted by Glenn.

"Hello Schala my names Glenn. Hope you like your stay," Glenn said with a hint of nervousness.

Kid got a little aggravated, 'I thought I told'em to call me Kid not Schala.' Keeping her cool she replied, "Hi…you can call me Kid."

"Why so nervous Glenn?" Serge said poking fun at him.

"Shut up Serge!" he said back trying to keep his composure.

'So that's your name…' she thought to herself.

"Alright class enough talking we must get back to our work," the teacher said grabbing a piece of chalk and scribbling the lesson on the board.

After many groans the lesson began and Serge was easily bored out of his mind.

"…now if we add this to this side we figure out what x equals and we can solve for the rest of the equation…"

That was all Serge listened to before he started doodling in his book. He sighed and looked up from his notebook to look like he was paying attention. 'Will this class ever end?' He looked over to the clock and lowered his head, 'Geez I could have sworn we were already 45 minutes into this class but I've only been here for 30.'

He lowered his gaze at his confused friend, 'Looks like Glenn's having fun.'

He turned his head slightly to look at the new girl, 'Wow she's really gorgeous.'

Kid released a quick sigh, 'This is such a waist of time.' She tapped her pencil on her desk and thought some more, 'Hopefully this class will be over soon, and then maybe I can continue my search. The only thing I found here were some pathetic guys, but I don't know there was something about that guy…what's his name…oh yeah Serge. He looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.' she slowly turned her head around. Her eyes met the calm and gentle ocean blue eyes of Serge. They continued to stare for a minute and looked back down at their notebooks blushing a deep crimson red.

'I guess I shouldn't have stared so long.' He looked up again and saw her hand tuck more hair behind her ear. 'She's so beautiful,' he contemplated in his mind turning away from her soft features, 'but someone that beautiful must already have a boyfriend.'

'Why did I blush for?' Kid said touching her cheek trying to stop blushing. 'He definitely has great looks. What am I saying!?' she thought arguing with herself. 'I can't get distracted; if I do I'll never find him. If only I could remember fully.' She used her hand to support her head on her desk, 'This is going to be very hard.'

"That's it for today's lesson. For homework I would like you to do pages 197-200. Do all equations and show your work," the teacher rushed knowing the bell would ring any minute.

The bell rang and almost everyone was out of the classroom heading to their lockers.

"Serge your usually the first one out of here. What's wrong?" Glenn said a little concerned about his friend. He followed Serge's gaze to the new girl and smirked evilly.

Serge snapped out of his trance when he watched Kid walk out of the door.

"Looks like someone's got a thing for the new girl," Glenn retorted nudging at Serge.

"You sure love picking on me don't you?"

"Of course what are friends for? Come on we need to get to our next class or the teacher will put our asses in detention!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Both of them walked out of the door walking to their lockers.

"So are you going to go after her or what?" Glenn said doing his combination for his lock.

"Are you crazy? I don't stand a chance!" Serge said putting his books in his locker.

"I don't see why not," he said as he finally opened the lock, "I mean come on what do you got to lose." Glenn opened his locker and was soon covered by all the junk that had been crammed in there.

"Glenn I thought you cleaned your locker out yesterday," Serge complained kicking some of his trash toward Glenn's side.

"I guess I didn't do a good job," Glenn complained while trying to stuff everything back in his locker.

Serge closed his locker and looked to his friend, "Your hopeless you know that?"

"Besides that point, why won't you go ask her out or something?"

"It's just that she looks like she already has a boyfriend. I probably don't stand a chance."

"Serge I wouldn't blow up a chance like this."

Serge turned his head to his friend, "Then why don't you ask her out. You seemed pretty interested in her."

"Don't be silly I already have my sights on a special lady," he said while his cheeks turned a shade of pink.

"Really? And you fail to tell your best friend about it? I'm shocked," Serge replied mocking Glenn.

"Well now you know."

They continued to walk down the hall entering their next class…English.

"Well…" Serge said taking his seat.

Glenn sat beside Serge with a quizzical face, "Well what?"

"Are you going to tell me her name?"

"I'll tell you soon," he said with a smile.

"What ever…"

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Kid made her way to her locker and opened it with ease, 'hmmmm…what's my next class again.' She took a glimpse at her schedule and stuck it back in her locker, "Great this will be great fun."

She slammed her locker in annoyance.

"Hey why you so mad?" a masculine voice said.

Kid tilted her head in confusion, "Yeah, and what's it to you?" she replied.

"I just don't think such a pretty girl should have such a scowl on her pretty face."

He stood a couple of inches taller then her and had red hair that reached his shoulders tied in a low ponytail. He had a slight tan and stared at her with his forest green eyes, "Your new here aren't you?"

"Ummm…yeah," she said with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

He stepped a bit closer to her and backed her up against her locker.

"What are you doing?!" Kid screamed in rage.

He lowered his head to her ear, "Come on you know you want me," he whispered to her.

She quickly broke his hold and started walking away.

He quickly blocked her path and touched her cheek, "And where do you think your going sweet thing?"

She knocked his hand away, giving him a death glare, "I'm getting the hell away from you. Now if you don't mind I've got to get to class. The bell already rang, so move it," she said sternly pushing him away.

He grabbed her hand, but she quickly twisted out of his grasps, "Leave me alone our yer going to regret yer mistake!"

He watched her walk away, never taking his gaze off her, 'Don't worry you'll be mine. Sooner then you think.'

A pat on the back quickly put him back in reality, "Hey Korcha! How'd it go?"

Korcha turned around to find his good friend, "I definitely got her attention," he said with a gleam in his eyes.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Kid ran down the halls when the second bell rang, 'Ewwww…what a basturd! Who the hell does he think he is? And now I'm going to be late for class!'

She finally skidded to a stop, 'Here it is. Now let me think of a plan to get past this one.' She snapped her fingers when the plan popped into her head, 'Perfect!'

She knocked on the door and heard foot steps approach her.

The knob slowly turned and she was greeted by a scowl, "And who are you?" she said in a snobbish voice.

"I'm…Schala Kid Zeal. I'm new at this school. I kinda got lost on my way to class." She said with a smile.

"Well…since it's your first day I'll let you by this one time. But any other lateness shall be taken care of with a detention. Is that clear!"

"Ummmm…yes ma'am."

"Good. Now go take your seat," she said pointing to an empty desk.

'Man what a grouch I wonder what's eating her.' Kid scanned the room as usual getting stares from all the other guys. She stopped before sitting down and was starring at the same ocean blue eyes she had seen in her last class. A little gasp escaped her lips, 'What's wrong with me?! I'm acting like I've never seen a guy before.'

"Well, will you be taking your seat or will I have to write you up a detention."

"No need for that ma'am!" she said quickly taking her seat. Her cheeks didn't burn as much the last time she stared at his eyes, 'I can't be so weak. I'm here to find him and I won't give into silly temptation.' She turned around quickly to look at him and turned away, 'Okay maybe it will be harder then I thought it would be.'

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"That about does it for today. Now for homework I would like you to read chapter 4 of A Separate Peace," the teacher said while the next bell rang.

"It's about time we finished this class," Glenn proclaimed while standing up and heading over to Serge.

"You said it. Let's get the hell out of here!" They walked out the door once again heading to there lockers.

"So what's up with you and Kid," Glenn said pushing his locker close.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean when you were staring into each others eyes. Such a classic."

"Shut up."

"Heh heh"

"Let's go before I leave another hole in your head."

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Serge looked up from his book and began one of his favorite countdown's, '4…3…2…1…'

The bell rang exactly when he finished and he quickly picked up his book's.

"Yes!! School's out for the day!" Glenn cheered from his seat.

"Come on Glenn let's get out of here."

"No problem here," Glenn said meeting his eager friend at the door.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Kid sighed in relief knowing her awkward day was finally over. She was already hurrying to her locker not wasting any time, 'Maybe now I can actually try to remember what he looked like.'

She finished turning the combination for her lock and opened it. Before she could even open it, it was quickly shut.

"Leaving so soon," said the same masculine voice.

Kid growled in anger moving his hand away from her locker and resuming her earlier actions.

"Hey when I talk to you, you better listen understood!" he screamed.

She swung her back pack over her shoulder, "I don't have to listen to no one so you better get the hell away from me or I'll have to kick your sorry arse!" She shoved him out of her way and quickly ran to the door. 'I wish I could kick the living shit out of him but I doubt that would go well with the principal, and I'd totally would hate having to stay longer in this hell hole.'

She opened the door to freedom and took a long breath of fresh air, "I really hated being cooped up there for so long."

She took a red ribbon from her pockets and tied her hair in a high ponytail. The suns raise warmed her skin as she continued to walk toward her house. A frown crossed her lips, 'I hate being alone. Everyone's got some one to talk to but me…I have nothing but my self…' she sighed as she continued her walk passing different things on the way. She closed her eyes trying to get away from her depression. Hoping to finally find her true happiness, but her thoughts were cut short when a cold hand covered her mouth and dragged her away from the sunlight and into a dark alley, 'How can this day get any worse.'

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"I'll see ya later buddy," Glenn waved to Serge as they took separate paths.

"Alright, I'll probably call you later!"

"Alright," Serge let out a sigh when Glenn's footsteps were getting fainter on the pavement. He looked ahead of him thinking about the new girl. 'Now that Glenn's gone I can finally think to myself.'

He looked toward the cerulean skies and remembered the way her eyes stared back into his. He almost melted right there and then in the middle of English, 'At least I only have two other classes with her or I'd definitely lose my sanity during class.'

He ran his fingers through his navy blue hair, brushing the loose strand away from his eyes. They settled back on face and Serge groaned in annoyance.

"Get away from me!"

He dropped his hands to his side and looked around, 'Huh? Who said that?' He looked around and couldn't find where the sound was coming from. 'It must have been my imagination,' he shrugged it off and continued to walk ahead.

"I said let go of me you basturd!"

The voice sent chills up Serge's spine, 'Kid…' It was no longer his imagination. He ran toward where he thought the sound was coming from.

"Come on loosen up will you. You'll like it trust me," the masculine voice said making Serge run even faster. He came to a stop at the entrance of an alleyway. Serge snuck his head into the alleyway and couldn't stand the sight before him. Kid was backed up against a wall trying to break free from…Korcha. Serge's eyes widened he couldn't let this happen. He quietly snuck behind a trashcan and looked to the side to make sure Kid was all right. Serge glared as Korcha ran his hand up her arm making her squeal even louder. Serge moved swiftly and came up behind Korcha. Kid's eyes opened wide in surprise seeing Serge there. She saw him motion to her to be silent. She did as she was told and watched Serge poke Korcha in the back.

"What do you want," he said very annoyed that his activity was cut short. He wiped around and came face to face with Serge. Serge lifted his fist and swung it hard into Korcha's face making him grab his face in pain. Kid glared at Korcha's quivering form, "You basturd…" she spat at him kicking him hard in the side. She watched him fall over trying to clutch both his face and side.

"Come on!" Serge urged grabbing her arm and running out of the alleyway.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

They ran until they were a good distance away from the alley. Their lungs were ready to burst from exhaustion. They finally stopped, needing a desperate breath of air. Kid fell to her knees and Serge bent over using the support of his knees.

"I…think…were…safe…now…" Serge panted.

"I…hope…your…right," Kid said equally tired.

Serge started breathing normally but his heart was racing fast. He turned his head to the side to see how Kid was doing, "Are you alright?"

"I guess so…just a cut and a bruise that's all," she said avoiding eye contact with Serge.

"Where?" Serge asked with a bit of concern.

She pointed to her left arm where the bruise had just formed and then to her right arm where a little graze had been.

Serge took her right arm to examine the cut. To his relief it wasn't to bad, "Well it doesn't look to bad but you should still clean it just incase."

He looked over to her other arm to look at her bruise, "Other then the cut I think you'll be fine." He smiled at her and noticed she was staring at the grass. He tilted her face towards his and looked in her eyes, "He didn't do anything else did he?"

"No…" she said trying to fight the urge to kiss him.

"Good cause for a minute there I thought he tried to…" he trailed off blushing hard.

"Don't worry too much about it I'm fine, and now that this is over I'm going to go home," she said getting up from the ground.

"Wait…" Serge said catching her attention.

"What is it?"

"I'll walk you home…ummmm…just to make sure that you get there safely."

"You don't have to…it might be out of your way, and I wouldn't want to keep you out to long," she said with a bit of nervousness.

"No, I insist. I would hate myself if something happened to you."

Kid nodded her head and watched as he walked to her side, "I hope I'm not being a bother or anything."

"Not at all."

Chapter 3: Who is Kid searching for? (It's somewhat obvious…isn't it) Who is the girl that Glenn's talking about? And will Korcha stop hounding Kid?

MimiKitty: All right first off I need a little help pairing Glenn off so if you review please tell me who it should be. I was thinking maybe Orlah but I'd rather get an approval before I start chapter 3! Please R&R cause I don't want to waste my time writing something no one's going to read.
