I yawned loudly as I sat up from my comfortable bed, fighting the temptation to lay back down and just sleep all day.
"Damn school." I said. "Can't wait for summer vacation." Sluggishly I turned the alarm clock off.
I got out of bed and walked over the random mess of jeans, shirts, gloves, hats, jerseys, and other stuff of many colors in my room to the closet. Carpet was barely peeking through and I think I had a rug somewere.
"Gah!" I yelled as I tripped on a baseball. The room flew by in a blur. Whop The wind was knocked out of me as I crashed to the floor.
"Owww!" I yelled slightly pissed off.
I got back up and slowly walked to the white closet door with the golden handle, my back aching slightly. I opened the door and grabbed the usual Gorin High uniform. White collard shirt with the Gorin logo on the right short sleeve and blue slacks. I knelt down to grab some brown shoes.
"Same thing every day." I mumbled, the repition was annoying.
I grabbed some boxers, socks and everything else needed out of my dresser. It was light brown and had about 9 drawers with a big mirror and walked into the living room that was poorly lit being how it was around 6:20 in the morning everything had a blue tint. I ironed my clothes on the ironing board as the groginess left me, I took a shower, made some breakfast well some Wheaties with Kerry Woods on the box. Got dressed, by now everybody was getting ready for school or work.
"Bye Dad and Grandpa!" I yelled as I picked up my bat and walked out with Suichi to his car, a yellow 300ZX. When we arrived on huge campus kids wore walking to and around Gorin, talking to friends and killing time till 7:30 when school started. Me and Suichi walked on campus, it had a grand aura around it like a huge white and blue castle.
"That play Ichiro made was crazy, the dive was beautiful and he managed to gun Krosby going home." I said. I followed Ichiro Suzuki very closely, I dreamed of days when I would go to America to play baseball for a star team and get all the publicity and fame.
"Yeah, but I'm telling you Raizo is going to be better." Suichi argued.
"He isn't even playing in America!" I protested.
"Suichi!" A female voice called.
It was Kaede, the 5'1 Japanese girl who captured Suichi's heart. Can't really say he made a bad decision, she had long silky black hair that went to her waist, but was kind of paleish. Nice body though, and she was a star Softball short stop. How they met is still a mystery to me, him and Nagare go out and somehow she jumped into the picture. Come to think of it everybody around me seems to be involved with somebody. Almost everybody I know is dating or working on it except me, Natsu and some other people, well not like it matters I'm sure Natsu will find her man so I don't need to worry or think about it right.
"Hey! See ya around bro." Suichi said running off and leaving me alone.
Aww I feel lonely.
"Hey Robe..." I stopped as I saw Roberto on a cell phone laughing and smiling as he walked past some of the soccer players, probably talking to Ran he only smiled like that when talking to her. He was pretty far away and probably didn't notice me through the crowd of white and blue even if I was the only on with a hat and three huge spikes sticking from my head.
Okay, whatever. I walked farther into campus.
"Yo Shoma!" Yas yelled.
The whole baseball club except Suichi was sitting on the benches near some soda machines at the center of the campus, the sun shined down there and all year (except summer) it was the best place here.
"Hey!" I yelled back walking towards them.
"Shoma did you hear what happened to Nobou?" Hige asked.
"No why?" I asked, I was slightly worried. If I hurt him bad I'll probably never play for Gorin ever.
"Hah! he did get nervous. He's fine, just a swollen face and bruised pride." Taiki said laughing.
"Heh, thought I might have hurt him too bad." I said jokingly while holding up my right fist.
"Hey Shoma!" A voice said, it was laid back and sort of relaxed, definitly female. Natsu.
"What?" I asked as I looked toward her. She wore the Gorin female uniform, same top as everybody else except a blue skirt that was knee length. Her hair was the same, short ackwardly done. She was wearing pink lipstick though, If Natsu ever wore lipstick it wasn't pink but it suited her nicely.
"Come here." She said waving me over. After some indecent thoughts I began to blush lightly.
"Oh hey it's Shoma's wife." Sanosuke said.
I just glared back at him wondering if I should punch him or kick him.
"Shoma! Hurry up!" Natsu yelled irritated.
"C'mon Shoma! Your womans calling, may want you to satisfy some urges." Takeshi joked.
"Eh? I ain't no man whore like you. If you're so worried you go." I said brushing Takeshi off.
"Eh, okay, it's been a while since I've had some fun and I've got an itch." Takeshi said walking towards Natsu.
"Sit down!" I yelled, about to punch him.
"Told you guys!" Takeshi said to the whole team while walking back to his seat.
There wore mixed responses saying. "Yeah you're right." "No surprise." and "So who wants to place money on when they'll hook up?" I just ignored them and walked over to Natsu who was talking to to her Volleyball teamates.
"You always carry that bat?" One of the asked.
"How can you use that huge thing." Another said.
"Impressive." Another said.
I just looked at them then ignored them.
"Whatcha want?" I asked.
"When are we gonna start that Chemistry project?" Natsu asked.
I had completely forgotten about it, the project was actually pretty simple. We wore doing an experiment on cooking, we had the necessary items we just had to do it. Natsu would cook and I just research and I take random pictures. Pretty easy.
"I don't know, when are you available?" I asked.
"Today, I need a break from training." Natsu said.
"Okay, I'll..." Ring
The school bell cut me off.
"We'll decide something later." I said.
"Okay." Natsu said.
I walked to my class past all the windows through the outside halls, they wore actually very clean. Even the grass between the wings wore freshly cut but had no molch on them. The day went by pretty average. I went to class, did my work, and talked with friends. Finally after hours of boredom the lunch bell rang.
"Hey Berto!" I yelled to Roberto down the hall over the crowds random noise.
He turned around and waited for me as kids walked past him to get to the cafateria or to the windows were food was served.
"Sup Shoma." He said as we began walking to the lunch area, the crowed had thined out now and we woren't weaving through people.
"Nothing really, starving." I said.
"Really, doing anything today?" Berto asked.
"Yeah, gotta start a project with Natsu." I said.
"Oh yeah, she's been talking about how you two are lagging on that." Berto said.
"Eh, we'll manage." I said.
"Berto! Shoma!" Natsu yelled.
We both turned around to see Natsu walking torwards us.
"Hey what's up." I said.
"Sup Natsu" Roberto said.
"Hey." Natsu said.
We talked about random stuff most of lunch after we ate, nothing exciting. All was well until.
"Yeah I saw that." I said to Berto about a TV show when suddenly I heard something irregular.
Footsteps, coming rapidly, but light. A strange sweet smell, people yelling and falling over after being plowed through, they wore near, very near...Now. I quickly jumped to my left side as a pink object with blinding speed shot right past me into the soda machine we wore standing close to. Momo.
"Oww, Shoma, why didn't you catch Momo?" She asked in a whining tone while slumped on the ground.
"Thought it would be funny." I said while picking up a Powerade that fell through the machine upon impact.
"You act like you don't want Momo but Momo knows." She said.
"Knows what?" Natsu said with rising anger in her voice.
"That Shoma loves Momo. He's just to emberrased to admit it." Momo said springing on me and almost hugging me to the point were I couldn't breath. I dropped my bat on the ground.
"Hey, get off of him!" Natsu yelled, Roberto stood ready to pounce on Natsu.
"Oh, it talks!" Momo said with mock surprise letting go of me.
"What!" Natsu said. She was ready to harm her bad.
"Bye Shoma, and tell sir not to get in Momo's way!" Momo said walking away.
"I'm...Gonna...Kill her!" Natsu said grabbing my bat and began running towards Momo.
Me and Berto grabbed her but Natsu was too pissed off. She grabbed Roberto's face with her right hand and with furious rage threw him to the ground. I ran behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Natsu! C'mon, you always talk about being calm and not ruining your future!" I yelled. I was trying hard to hold her back but she was dragging me very fast over the concrete past the trees and the empty classes and my grip was loosening.
"Who cares!" She yelled, fighting me.
"I care!" I yelled instictively.
"...What?" Natsu said relaxing.
"I care, damn I just lost the grip in my shoes." I said.
"Shoma." Natsu said.
"You care about my future so it's only right." I said.
"Look I told you." A voice said. Takeshi's
"See he hasn't even let her go." A female voice said.
"Huh?" I said. They wore right, I was still holding her. It felt, right.
"You calm yet?" I asked.
"Yeah." Natsu said turning towards me.
"Good." I said letting go. Big mistake.
Natsu took off towards Momo who was and alright distance away but her powerfull, long legs closed the gap quickly. Berto was taken off guard and was sitting when she took off.
"I'm gonna kill that bitch!" Natsu yelled bringing my bat over her head about to massacre Momo.
"Dammit Natsu!" I yelled in hot pursuit.
Were are the damn teachers. Momo had just turned around to see Natsu bring the bat down.
"AHHH!" Momo shrieked.
"AHHHH!" Natsu yelled.
"AHHHHHH!" I cried.
I dove towards the bat, just in time to catch it with my left hand and let Momo run off.
"Don't stop me!" Natsu yelled tugging at my hands trying to pry them off my bat.
Quickly I stood and wrapped her up.
"Shoma! Let...Me...Go." Natsu said.
She relaxed and put her head down.
"Finally calm?" I asked.
Nothing...Then sobs, she was crying.
"Hey calm down." I said as softly as possible. "C'mon let's go before teachers arrive." I said.
"Alright." Natsu said.
"Good." I said. I looked back at the people watching, seemed like hundreds. "There a problem?!" I yelled at the crowd.
We began to walk off, I wasn't about let her go while she held my bat. So eventually she cooled off and gave me my bat back. We walked behind one of the classrooms near the end of campus by the street, the shade was relaxing. Natsu looked like she had something on her mind.
"Shoma...Did you really mean what you said about my future?" Natsu asked biting her lower lip.
"Yeah, we're friends right. And stop biting your lower lip, it could be taken the wrong way or you could bite it off." I said.
"Like how?" Natsu asked looking at me ackward.
"Could be arousing." I said with a grin.
"Shut up." Natsu said playfully.
"Well if people see us it could be." I stopped talking as I hopped out from a corner, I could hear the people whispering and saw them in the reflection off a class window. "Taken the wrong way." I said staring them down, it was some of my teamates and a few of Natsu's.
"Well my class isn't here." Hige said looking around. "Yeah...We'll leave now." And they all walked off
Ring
The day was pretty boring after that, I went to my last class P.E. and went home. The walk was alright since Taiki lived on the same street as me. We walked through Tokyo's busy streets past rushing people, shops, and cars. In the afternoon the streets woren't that exciting
"Hey Grandpa." I greeted, old man has been living with us for a little while. He sat on the black leather couch watching some baseball game with scary intensity.
"Hey...Sho...Nooooooo!" Grandpa yelled as the team in white gave up a double with a man on 2nd.
After finishing my homework I crashed on my bed. The sheets wore blue and the blanket had a white and blue design. I had posters of some asian models, some of Ichiro, Ozzy Smith, Kerry Wood, Matsui, and some bobble heads of Sosa, Bonds, Pujols, and Tejada.
"Hey Shoma!" Grandpa yelled. "Come here!"
"Ahhh. What now?" I wondered.
I got up from bed and walked to the living room. Frankly without baseball I was kind of grumpy, I really wanted to play. Of course that's why I go to Gorin High. As soon as I walked into the living room Grandpa threw a jersey and a hat at me. I caught it and looked at the jersey.
"The Raidens." I said, I was getting excited, I knew what this ment. The jersey was blue with white pint stripes going through it, also had white short sleeves and read "Raidens" in blue cursive with white outlining. The hat was just blue, adjustable, and read "Raidens" the same way.
"We play tommorow, you up for it?" Grandpa asked.
"Yeah...Hell yeah!" I yelled walking back to my room holding my jersey up in the air number 12.
About an hour later I was restless siting on my bed throwing a ball into my glove.
"Can't wait." I said to myself
Suddenly my cell phone went off. After searching through the clutter in my room I finally found it.
"Yeah yeah hello?" I quickly said.
"Doing anything?" Natsu asked.
"No why? Oh the project right I'll be over there." I said
Quickly I got dressed in my Gorin uniform.
"I'll be back later I got some work to do." I said exiting the house.
I walked to her house, it was nice out. Straight baseball weather, I wanted to play ball so bad. I could stay out as long as I wanted since it was Saturday (Japan's schools are different than out here). I said hello to friends that I walked past until I reached Natsu's house. There was no car in the driveway.
"Hey Natsu!" I yelled as I knocked on the door.
She furiously opened the door, she was wearing some short black shorts, a yellow tank top, some athletic blue, white, and yellow nikes, and a white apron. She seemed busy...Very busy.
"Need your help." She said running back to the kitchen.
I ran in there to see what was going on, she was making cake and the computer was on.
"Did you try to do this without my help?" I asked.
"Yeah so!" Natsu said while pulling something out of the oven.
Various items for cooking wore laying everywere, some things I didn't even recognize. Natsu's house was normally clean and spacious. It was a two story white and brown house with hard, light brown wood floor inside and white walls, the couches wore a tan leather and very comfortable. I've never been to her room before, but from what I've seen on her web cam it was always clean and full of something to do with volleyball.
"Just close the oven for me." She said while pulling out some kind of charred...something.
"Wow! That looks ahh horrible what the hell wore you doing?" I asked laughing at that pathetic attempt.
"Quiet!" Natsu yelled insulted. "I tried a different method." She said dissappointed.
"Never do it again eeevveerrrr." I said.
"You wanna cook?" Natsu asked irritated.
"Ehhhh... Well I don't mean to brag but I can get off in the kitchen." I said arrogantly while spinning two spatulas in my hands with a little smirk.
"Really." Natsu said shifting her hips to the right side and cocking her head left, her hair drifted lightly and shimmered slightly in the sun. She had batter and flower spotted in random places on her and her apron.
"You don't wanna see me in the kitchen." I said walking up to the ingredients.
"C'mon then Shoma, let's see what you got." Natsu said walking past me.
We had a great time cooking, even though I hate it normally. Mainly because I'm too lazy, either way we took pictures of ourselves and eachother cooking for the presentation. Anyway it got kind of messy because we B.S,'d a lot but we finished within 2 hours and wore about to have a little taste test.
Nastu tried mine first, I made chocolate cake while she made some strawberry something. Looked good though, she put the food in her mouth and started to chew.
"Good ain't it, c'mon you know you like it." I said behind Natsu.
She looked up.
"Aha! Ya like don'tcha. Told you." I made a fienting punch motion. "I can get off in the kitchen."
"Shoma...This is kind of good, actually it's very good. Though not better than mine it's still better than most. Who taught you how to cook?" Natsu asked.
"My Mom, she always told me her son won't have to rely on some woman to cook and clean for me." I said looking towards the ceiling.
"Really, that's kind of rare. Girls really like that y'know, a man who can cook and clean. Why are you still single?" Natsu asked.
"Oh my god. This isn't cake it's better, it's better than sex." I said as I tried Natsu's cake. It was too good, this had to be illegal, flavor exploded on my tongue.
"You've had." Natsu began.
"No, but it's what people say." I said. I was damn near crying it was so good.
We just sat there and ate for a while when I noticed something.
"Wow! You still got this picture?" I asked looking past Natsu to and old picture in a frame of me, her, and Roberto at an arcade. We had to be around 13 when we took this picture...Three years ago.
"Oh! Yeah, don't really see much of Roberto anymore." Natsu said trailing off.
"Yeah, everybody seems to be growing up." I said.
I looked back to Natsu and almost fell when she was directly behind me looking at the picture.
"Yeah, everybody has found somebody else to be with." Natsu said.
"Yeah we're so lonely...Hold me!" I joked jumping into Nastu's arms.
"Uhhhh... Hey get off me!" Nastu yelled, almost seemed like she was flustered. Anyway she threw me to the ground sloppily.
"Hey! What the hell!" I yelled.
"Don't just jump on me like that!" Natsu yelled back.
"I was playing!" I yelled.
"You play too mfff!" Nastu was cut off by a flying piece of cake straight into her mouth.
"Strike!" I said with accomplishment.
"You little shit!" Natsu yelled hurling a piece at me with her right arm.
I was pegged in my right eye, damn she had an arm.
"Okay. You sure you wanna start this?" I asked holding a piece of cake in my hand while circling around the table.
"Shoma, you don't want any." Natsu said ready to peg me again.
"Heh!" I said.
After about half an hour of cake being chucked we eventually calmed down. We along with the kitchen wore a mess, we looked at eachother and then started laughing, she had cake all in her hair and cream was all over her face and apron. Some was on her legs and shoes. We couldn't stop laughing until.
"Natsu honey I'm whoa shit!" Her father was home. He looked a little stressed from work, he was wearing some black slacks with black dress shoes with a blue business shirt, a red tye, eye glasses that looked very stylish, and his black hair looked kind of messy. He was tall like Natsu but had a thin build.
We both looked at him frightened.
"Dad!" Natsu yelled.
I tried to find a way to escape but the stairs wore to far away and even though I tried I forgot to unlock the window and almost jerked it off the hinges.
"Hahah hello sir." I said.
It took us about 2 hours but we finished cleaning the kitchen. The sun was starting to set.
"So you're going to type the report up?" I asked mopping the floor.
"Yeah, just find the chemical equation for...Cake and buy the poster board." She said while wipping down the wall.
"Hey when finals come around you wanna study?" I asked.
"Sure." Nastu said.
We finished cleaning the kitchen and I headed home. We went to school as usual for a while. Natsu's tournaments went well, she ended up second in her first tournament and first in her last one at the bay, She was invited to a tournament in Shainghi and was getting looked at for the Nissan AVP Womens tournament in Manhatten. Our project went well, A- and baseball was going well. I've had a couple college scout look at me which had me bouncing off of the walls. Amazingly I haven't gotten into a single fight yet but now the darkest hour was upon all of us at Goring High. Finals
Author's note: Oh my goodness...Finals, will our hero's survive. Tune in next time, Oh and thanx to all of those who reviewed. All 3 of you

We began to walk off, I wasn't about let her go while she held my bat. So eventually she cooled off and gave me my bat back. We walked behind one of the classrooms near the end of campus by the street, the shade was relaxing. Natsu looked like she had something on her mind.
"Shoma...Did you really mean what you said about my future?" Natsu asked biting her lower lip.
"Yeah, we're friends right. And stop biting your lower lip, it could be taken the wrong way or you could bite it off." I said.
"Like how?" Natsu asked looking at me ackward.
"Could be arousing." I said with a grin.
"Shut up." Natsu said playfully.
"Well if people see us it could be." I stopped talking as I hopped out from a corner, I could hear the people whispering and saw them in the reflection off a class window. "Taken the wrong way." I said staring them down, it was some of my teamates and a few of Natsu's.
"Well my class isn't here." Hige said looking around. "Yeah...We'll leave now." And they all walked off
Ring
The day was pretty boring after that, I went to my last class P.E. and went home. The walk was alright since Taiki lived on the same street as me. We walked through Tokyo's busy streets past rushing people, shops, and cars. In the afternoon the streets woren't that exciting
"Hey Grandpa." I greeted, old man has been living with us for a little while. He sat on the black leather couch watching some baseball game with scary intensity.
"Hey...Sho...Nooooooo!" Grandpa yelled as the team in white gave up a double with a man on 2nd.
After finishing my homework I crashed on my bed. The sheets wore blue and the blanket had a white and blue design. I had posters of some asian models, some of Ichiro, Ozzy Smith, Kerry Wood, Matsui, and some bobble heads of Sosa, Bonds, Pujols, and Tejada.
"Hey Shoma!" Grandpa yelled. "Come here!"
"Ahhh. What now?" I wondered.
I got up from bed and walked to the living room. Frankly without baseball I was kind of grumpy, I really wanted to play. Of course that's why I go to Gorin High. As soon as I walked into the living room Grandpa threw a jersey and a hat at me. I caught it and looked at the jersey.
"The Raidens." I said, I was getting excited, I knew what this ment. The jersey was blue with white pint stripes going through it, also had white short sleeves and read "Raidens" in blue cursive with white outlining. The hat was just blue, adjustable, and read "Raidens" the same way.
"We play tommorow, you up for it?" Grandpa asked.
"Yeah...Hell yeah!" I yelled walking back to my room holding my jersey up in the air number 12.
About an hour later I was restless siting on my bed throwing a ball into my glove.
"Can't wait." I said to myself
Suddenly my cell phone went off. After searching through the clutter in my room I finally found it.
"Yeah yeah hello?" I quickly said.
"Doing anything?" Natsu asked.
"No why? Oh the project right I'll be over there." I said
Quickly I got dressed in my Gorin uniform.
"I'll be back later I got some work to do." I said exiting the house.
I walked to her house, it was nice out. Straight baseball weather, I wanted to play ball so bad. I could stay out as long as I wanted since it was Saturday (Japan's schools are different than out here). I said hello to friends that I walked past until I reached Natsu's house. There was no car in the driveway.
"Hey Natsu!" I yelled as I knocked on the door.
She furiously opened the door, she was wearing some short black shorts, a yellow tank top, some athletic blue, white, and yellow nikes, and a white apron. She seemed busy...Very busy.
"Need your help." She said running back to the kitchen.
I ran in there to see what was going on, she was making cake and the computer was on.
"Did you try to do this without my help?" I asked.
"Yeah so!" Natsu said while pulling something out of the oven.
Various items for cooking wore laying everywere, some things I didn't even recognize. Natsu's house was normally clean and spacious. It was a two story white and brown house with hard, light brown wood floor inside and white walls, the couches wore a tan leather and very comfortable. I've never been to her room before, but from what I've seen on her web cam it was always clean and full of something to do with volleyball.
"Just close the oven for me." She said while pulling out some kind of charred...something.
"Wow! That looks ahh horrible what the hell wore you doing?" I asked laughing at that pathetic attempt.
"Quiet!" Natsu yelled insulted. "I tried a different method." She said dissappointed.
"Never do it again eeevveerrrr." I said.
"You wanna cook?" Natsu asked irritated.
"Ehhhh... Well I don't mean to brag but I can get off in the kitchen." I said arrogantly while spinning two spatulas in my hands with a little smirk.
"Really." Natsu said shifting her hips to the right side and cocking her head left, her hair drifted lightly and shimmered slightly in the sun. She had batter and flower spotted in random places on her and her apron.
"You don't wanna see me in the kitchen." I said walking up to the ingredients.
"C'mon then Shoma, let's see what you got." Natsu said walking past me.
We had a great time cooking, even though I hate it normally. Mainly because I'm too lazy, either way we took pictures of ourselves and eachother cooking for the presentation. Anyway it got kind of messy because we B.S,'d a lot but we finished within 2 hours and wore about to have a little taste test.
Nastu tried mine first, I made chocolate cake while she made some strawberry something. Looked good though, she put the food in her mouth and started to chew.
"Good ain't it, c'mon you know you like it." I said behind Natsu.
She looked up.
"Aha! Ya like don'tcha. Told you." I made a fienting punch motion. "I can get off in the kitchen."
"Shoma...This is kind of good, actually it's very good. Though not better than mine it's still better than most. Who taught you how to cook?" Natsu asked.
"My Mom, she always told me her son won't have to rely on some woman to cook and clean for me." I said looking towards the ceiling.
"Really, that's kind of rare. Girls really like that y'know, a man who can cook and clean. Why are you still single?" Natsu asked.
"Oh my god. This isn't cake it's better, it's better than sex." I said as I tried Natsu's cake. It was too good, this had to be illegal, flavor exploded on my tongue.
"You've had." Natsu began.
"No, but it's what people say." I said. I was damn near crying it was so good.
We just sat there and ate for a while when I noticed something.
"Wow! You still got this picture?" I asked looking past Natsu to and old picture in a frame of me, her, and Roberto at an arcade. We had to be around 13 when we took this picture...Three years ago.
"Oh! Yeah, don't really see much of Roberto anymore." Natsu said trailing off.
"Yeah, everybody seems to be growing up." I said.
I looked back to Natsu and almost fell when she was directly behind me looking at the picture.
"Yeah, everybody has found somebody else to be with." Natsu said.
"Yeah we're so lonely...Hold me!" I joked jumping into Nastu's arms.
"Uhhhh... Hey get off me!" Nastu yelled, almost seemed like she was flustered. Anyway she threw me to the ground sloppily.
"Hey! What the hell!" I yelled.
"Don't just jump on me like that!" Natsu yelled back.
"I was playing!" I yelled.
"You play too mfff!" Nastu was cut off by a flying piece of cake straight into her mouth.
"Strike!" I said with accomplishment.
"You little shit!" Natsu yelled hurling a piece at me with her right arm.
I was pegged in my right eye, damn she had an arm.
"Okay. You sure you wanna start this?" I asked holding a piece of cake in my hand while circling around the table.
"Shoma, you don't want any." Natsu said ready to peg me again.
"Heh!" I said.
After about half an hour of cake being chucked we eventually calmed down. We along with the kitchen wore a mess, we looked at eachother and then started laughing, she had cake all in her hair and cream was all over her face and apron. Some was on her legs and shoes. We couldn't stop laughing until.
"Natsu honey I'm whoa shit!" Her father was home. He looked a little stressed from work, he was wearing some black slacks with black dress shoes with a blue business shirt, a red tye, eye glasses that looked very stylish, and his black hair looked kind of messy. He was tall like Natsu but had a thin build.
We both looked at him frightened.
"Dad!" Natsu yelled.
I tried to find a way to escape but the stairs wore to far away and even though I tried I forgot to unlock the window and almost jerked it off the hinges.
"Hahah hello sir." I said.
It took us about 2 hours but we finished cleaning the kitchen. The sun was starting to set.
"So you're going to type the report up?" I asked mopping the floor.
"Yeah, just find the chemical equation for...Cake and buy the poster board." She said while wipping down the wall.
"Hey when finals come around you wanna study?" I asked.
"Sure." Nastu said.
We finished cleaning the kitchen and I headed home. We went to school as usual for a while. Natsu's tournaments went well, she ended up second in her first tournament and first in her last one at the bay, She was invited to a tournament in Shainghi and was getting looked at for the Nissan AVP Womens tournament in Manhatten. Our project went well, A- and baseball was going well. I've had a couple college scout look at me which had me bouncing off of the walls. Amazingly I haven't gotten into a single fight yet but now the darkest hour was upon all of us at Goring High. Finals
Author's note: Oh my goodness...Finals, will our hero's survive. Tune in next time, Oh and thanx to all of those who reviewed. All 3 of you
