Keely had woken up early and was already all dressed for school, but she still had an forty minutes till it actually started. 'Damn time, fly by already!' She glared at the futile clock the refused to whither under her harsh stare. She sighed, put on her headphones, and started blasting Linkin Park. 'What do I do to ignore them behind me, do I follow my instincts blindly, do I hide my pride from these bad dreams and give into sad thoughts that are maddening'

Keely had waited twenty minutes, tapping her dominatrix boots and humming to her music before she got up and slowly walked towards the school, it was only around ten minutes away anyways, not that she really cared. 'School, who needs it?' Keely was know to be hated among her teachers, not because of her grades, no, she was above average on those, but she never listened, often listening to music instead, but you couldn't notice because from the front her red strands of hair covered her ears, and she always talked back. If the teacher said something she didn't like to her, she would make a sarcastic response, indeed, she was nearly always spending part of a school day at the office, it was even more of a reason for her father and mother to hate her. Just thinking of her father Keely shivered and clutched at herself, looking around suspiciously, as if from the shadows of the alleys a hand would extend to drag her in, she was good at fighting, it was some kind of form of street fighting she supposes, because she never took martial arts or karate, but she just knew how to defend herself from oncoming attacks and how to punch and kick where it hurts most, not to mention that she was swift, even in her boots. At her old school she had the reputation of being the toughest kid there, it was funny how people shrank away from her in the halls, when she was two year younger then them and maybe a whole foot shorter. 'Well, it is the life of I loner I must life, for I love no one, I fear no one, and I am no one, especially to my parents.' She thought darkly as she approached the high school.

Mariah was hanging out with her friends, all of them were wearing something that was coloured pink, whether it be a skirt, kakis flip flops, tank tops, it seemed Mariah was their ring leader, and she was, she was not only the most popular girl in grade eleven, bt one of the most popular girlsin school.

"Mariah, you're so lucky to be on the White tigers, it's the best team in all of China!" Said nameless groupie number one.

"I know, and you're with Rei Kon! Could life get any better?" Nameless girl number two practically shouted, then all the girls sighed, thinking of Rei Kon, one of the hottest guys ever.

"Yea, but she also gets to work with Lee!" Nameless girl number three sighed, along with all the rest of the girls, Lee was leader of the White Tigers, had a feline sort of grace, and the feline features that few in their village had, and they loved his shirt, because it wasn't really a shirt, it was a vest, and he always wore it open, yummy!

Mariah was listening to the babble that she went through everyday, when her golden eyes caught on to the colour black, it was her, that girl from yesterday. 'She'll pay.' Mariah thought with a smirk, her freshly glossed lips gleaming like a pink blade in the sunlight. (Sorry to make Mariah all evil like, I really don't have anything against her, only that she wears to much pink.)

Keely was just walking toward the school, minding her own business, when a hand came in contact with her shoulder, she flinched from the contact and turned to face the guy who gave her directions yesterday. "Hey, you didn't get lost on your way to school, impressive." The guy smirked and Keely raised her eyebrows, it's not like she wasn't listening when he gave her directions. "Anyways, the name's Kevin." The boy said holding out a hand. "Keely." She shook the offered hand and cast a glance towards the school. "For such an isolated place, shouldn't the school be a bit smaller?" Kevin chuckled beside her. "Well, they decided to roll the elementary and high school all into one, it has way too many stairs, ask anyone." Keely rolled her eyes, if she could handle climbing the mountain, she could handle three flights of stairs. "So, what grade are you in?" Kevin asked, trying to make conversation with the one girl in the school who seemed serious. "Ten." "Really, that's the same grade as me, you don't look sixteen at all!" 'If you are referring to my height, I am not that much shorter than you, at least I can wear my boots and appear taller anyways." "Yea, five feet tall really makes you look sixteen." "Shut up." "Make me." Keely slowly turned towards Kevin, her eyes glowing, pupils little slits. "You don't want me to make you do anything." Kevin rolled his eyes and Keely smirked, this was definitely the start of a beautiful friendship.

"Class, we have a new student today, I hope you make her feel welcome!" The overly energetic teacher of room 109 clapped her hand together, smiling, the guys seemed to perk up at that, all except Kevin who knew the new girl was not one to be messed with. "And here she is, say hello to Keely Shifter!" The door opened and Keely slowly stepped inside the class, her face void of emotions, to say that she was unnerving was an understatement. "Uh. Well, why don't you tell us something about yourself." Ruby eyes turned to the teacher who faltered under the harsh gaze. "I believe my name is all you need to know." She said coolly as she walked over to the darkest corner in the back of the room and the teacher nervously began her lesson, aware of the red eyes boring into her.

"Man, you totally creped Miss. Saiya out." Kevin said with a smirk as he walked along beside Keely, who just rolled her eyes. "I can't help it if pitiful teachers are afraid of me." She said casually as she stopped at her locker and deposited her books in it, taking out her lunch. "Jesus, math and science at the beginning of the day, are they trying to murder us?" She asked rhetorically as Kevin snickered beside her. "I wouldn't doubt it." The two seemed to get along, Keely's naturally sadistic and dark look on life was brightened up by Kevin's tricky, sometimes sarcastic attitude.

Mariah watched on, golden eyes glowing. 'Why is Kevin with that girl?' She asked herself silently. "Something wrong?" Lee asked from beside her and she whirled around to face him. "Nothing brother, just wondering who that girl with Kevin is." Lee's eyes were now drawn to the figure, black amongst the many pastel colours of the teens. "Who indeed."

FASH: Was it just me, or did the last part suck? Anyways, Keely and Lee meet next chapter, and why is Mariah acting soâ€.. Bitchy, anyways, review!
