I own absolutely nothing. Um... except for Iris, my OC. If you wanna use her (which I highly doubt) ask me and I'll most likely grant you that permission.

A/N: This fic deals with death, depression, anorexia, and some other not-so- nice stuff. If anyone has a problem with unpleasantness, I'd advise you to stop reading now. Mainly, though, it's rated for language and some sexuality in later chapters. You have been warned. Now, on to the story! -------

It was 9:00 in the morning, and Iris was digging through her locker. "Where the hell is my chem book?" She muttered. Suddenly, she felt someone embrace her from behind. She smiled, not bothering to turn around. "Hey, Remy."
Her boyfriend breathed gently on the back of her neck. "How did you know?"
Iris spun around and arched an eyebrow. "Honestly. Who else would run up to my locker first thing in the morning and practically cut off my air supply?"
Remy flashed his trademark dazzling smile and bent to kiss her, when they were oh-so-rudely interrupted.
"HEY, MY PEOPLE!!!"
Iris rolled her lily-green eyes. "Hello, Chester."
The blonde hurried toward her locker, dragging behind him his partner in crime, AJ. The latter was busily bent over a calculator, furiously pushing buttons. A minute later, he looked up and grinned. "Ha! I have finally found the solution to Pi!" He gave his peers a smug look. "And it only took me 2.5 days."
Chester's blank stare plainly stated that he didn't have a clue. "Um. . . that's nice, dude." He said. Then he smiled. "Hey, check it out! I got my braces off yesterday!"
Remy applauded sarcastically. Iris elbowed him. "That's great. Has anyone seen Timmy lately?"
AJ momentarily pulled his attention away from another math equation. "Nah. I think he's dowstairs with Tootie."
Chester shuddered. "Man, he is spending WAY too much time with that girl!"
Iris interveined, "Well, they ARE going out now. It's only natural that they get some time alone together." She said this with more than a little implication.
AJ caught this. Chester did not. "Well, I still say he shouldn't –
"Alright, alright, we'll leave you two alone," interrupted his genius friend. And with that he dragged his none-too-bright companion down the hall.

So, what'd you all think? I know this is a relatively short chapter, but don't worry. They'll get longer and more dramatic as the story goes on. Please R&R this. If you don't, I won't bother to continue.
