"I don't believe it!" Julie screamed when Marie told her about the day before. She was with her three friends again. Annie was about to pass out and Skipper was hugging Marie. Kenshin walked up behind them and tapped Marie on the shoulder. She turned around. "Hey" she said smiling. Kenshin smiled back. "Good morning" he said. She hugged him. Lestat then came up with Jesse. Jesse took one look at Marie, then stuck up her nose and flicked her hair over her shoulder. Lestat left Jesse and walked over to Marie. As soon as he got close to Kenshin, Kenshin looked him in the eye and said "Are you Lestat?" Lestat nodded. Then Kenshin punched him in the stomach. "Don't ever come near Marie again unless you want me to hurt you." Kenshin said. Lestat flashed him a thumbs up and walked back over to Jesse. Kenshin stood next to Marie. Marie looked at him and smiled. She had told him about what Lestat did and that she now officially hated him. He looked at her and smiled back. Then the bell rang to start class. Marie ran in the school to her locker.

"Great to see you after school" Marie said as she walked home with Kenshin. "Thanks for getting rid of Lestat for me. I'm so glad he won't bother me anymore." She said. Kenshin nodded. She stopped and looked him straight in the eye. 'Why do I have the most sudden urge to kiss him?' she wondered. It seemed Kenshin had the same urge because he was getting closer to her by the second. Then Skipper came up and stopped when she saw them. "Hello!" she called. Kenshin stood up straight again. "Hey Skipper" Marie called back. They waited as Skipper walked up to them. She looked back at Kenshin and quickly kissed him on the cheek. Then she ran to see what Skipper wanted.

"So he's coming back today?" said Alex excitedly. Marie nodded. She then also remembered that he was bringing a gift for Alex. "Wait up in your room till I call you, k?" she said. He nodded.
