'What a day,' Wallaby thought to himself while walking home.
'I have crazy teachers, I got a crush on a girl I just met today, and I made new friends who seem oddly familiar." He gave a chuckle. "All of this on the first day of school."
Wallaby walked to the Magnet School Hoagie attended. The boy in orange saw the nearest tree and leaned on it.
Hoagie told Wallaby that Hoagie's school ended later than his, so he had agreed to meet his friend after school.
'Man. I have a lot to tell Hoagie.'
The bell rang at 4:00. Unlike Wallaby's school, there weren't students in a rush to get out. About two minutes later, he started to see students walking out. Hoagie was one of them.
Wallaby waved at him and Hoagie saw. He went over to Wallaby and they did their secret handshake.
"What's up Wally?" Hoagie asked, calling him by his nickname.
"A lot! But first, tell me about your day."
"It was nothing special. We just did complicated work. My elective is best. Junior Piloting. We got to learn the parts of an airplane and practiced making a model of one. It's not as good as actually flying an airplane, but this is school we're talking about. They don't let us fly until we reached our junior year." Hoagie took a breath in, for he was talking extremely fast. He exhaled. "What about your day?"
They laughed.
"School sucks. I have a woman that dresses like a guy for my math teacher. I bought twenty-dollar P.E. uniforms. English class is cool," he thought of Kuki. "In my art class, there is this general guy who probably can't teach art. I'm on his bad side. Life science and history are a bore, and anger management is the worst!"
"Anger management?"
"Yeh'! Would you believe my parents put me in that class? It's stupid! The teacher doesn't know what the hell she's talking about."
"That sucks man!"
"I know," said Wallaby, and then started to remember. "Oh! Hoagie?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember that feeling we had the first time we met? It was like we knew each other before but haven't."
"Yeah, what about it?"
Wallaby looked up at Hoagie. "I met three other people like us."
"Really? Interesting."
"Yeh'. We all think we have a connection or somethin'. I think you would too if ya' meet them all. We're talking online, so join our chatroom tonight."
"Um, alright," he said confused.
"Don't think I'm crazy or anything Hoagie. Once you meet them, you'll know what I'm talking about."
"Alright, I guess."
"Great! Come online at 9 tonight!"
"Got it," Hoagie said as he headed toward his home. "I have a lot of homework, so I'll do it now."
"Same here. See you later."
Hoagie went in the door. Wallaby continued his journey home. On the way, he kept on thinking about Kuki. She was such an instant crush. He never experienced something like that. He felt as if he had. Wallaby thought about Nigel and Abigail too. They became instant friends the moment he met them.
Wallaby went home and was greeted by his father, opening the door for him.
He got a bit freaked out, thinking he was in trouble.
"Hi dad," Wallaby said nervously. "How come you're home so early?"
"Boss let us have the last two hours off. He's awfully nice for that! But son? We need to talk."
Wallaby got angry. "I'm mad at you enough for putting me in to that stupid anger management class! How could you do that to me? Without letting me know!"
"Now sport. We got a call from yeh' anger management teacher today. She says ya' were in a fight with yeh' friend. Scott is it?"
Wallaby felt as if steam came out of his ears. "How the hell did she know that?!"
Then he remembered that kid in his class who talked about the fight. "Ugh!"
"Sport," his father said calmly. "This class will be good for you. The teacher will help ya' out."
"Whateva'," he said in a low tone. "I got some homework to do. I'll be upstairs."
Wallaby marched upstairs with pure rage.
------
'Stupid dad,' he thought to himself, as he was working on his history homework.
That was the only class he had homework in, considering his classes were all introductions.
'Why the hell would he do somethin' like this? Put me in that stupid class. First boarding school, and now this? If mom and dad would let me have some freedom, I wouldn't be so angry.'
Wallaby finished his history homework and ate dinner. He was awfully surprised that he actually completed his homework. The boy normally never did his homework and got poor grades in school.
Dinner was silent around his mom and dad. His parents were tempted to ask about his anger problem, but instead, asked how school was.
"School sucked," he said while chewing his food.
Dinner ended and he went upstairs to play video games for an hour. He played the typical fighting games. Games like boxing, one on one fighting with super powers. For the next hour, he watched some television.
Before he knew it, it was 9:00, so he went on the computer and opened up his buddy list. Just as he was about to add everyone's name, a screen name called Baldred12 asked him to join a chatroom. He knew that was Nigel's name, so he joined in.
Wallabywall entered the chatroom
Kukirainbow: hiya wally! !
Redhatgirl10: hey walls
Baldred12: Hello Wallaby
Wallabywall: Hey guys, what's up?
Kukirainbow: Nothin'

Wallabywall: Oh yeah, Hoagie. Lemmie get him.

WallabyWall: Guys, this is Hoagie
Kukirainbow: Hi Hoagie!
Redhatgirl10: Hey
Baldred12: So Hoagie, did wallaby tell you the whole story?
Pilotman123: Yeah, but I'm kinda confused.
Baldred12: We need to meet up somewhere after school.
Kukirainbow: Tomorrow is Friday! We can meet up at teh park

Baldred12 has left the conversation.
Redhatgirl has left the conversation.

Kukirainbow: yeah I know I suck at typing, plus I think the whole "u" and "r" thing is dumb.
Wallabywall: same here I cant type
Kukirainbow: call me then! I finished my homework. (242) 245-7547
Kukirainbow has left the conversation
----
Wallaby blushed at the fact that she gave him her number. He wrote it down and disconnected from the Internet. Wallaby rushed to the nearest phone and dialed the numbers. He took a deep breath then exhaled.
The phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Kuki?"
"Hi Wally!"
"Hi." Wallaby was blushing. Thank goodness no one can see him blush over the phone!
"Wasn't the first day of school crazy? We barely knew each other this morning, but we hit it off fast!"
"Yeh'," agreed Wallaby.
They talked until Kuki's mom forced her daughter to go to bed, two hours later.
"I'll see you tomorrow then," said Kuki
"Yeh' in English class!"
"Bye Wallaby."
"Bye," he said in a clam tone. Wallaby was never good with goodbyes.
He hung up the phone then got ready for bed.
-------
"I love you Kuki Sanban…"
"What wasted years…"
"What?"
"I love you too Wallaby Beetles…"
"But, tonight is my last night. After tonight, I won't remember you..."
--KNOCK KNOCK—
"Numbuh Three! Time for ya' decomissionin'!"
"No Numbuh Four. I'm not ready!"
…
"Numbuh Four! I will always love you! Don't forget me!"
…
"All right, BIRTHDAY BOY! Got any last words?!"
"Yeh'! I do! No matter what, we're going to reunite! Even though we won't remember this, we will all still be together!"
…
Flashes of Wallaby's past came flying though his dreams.
------
"Son! Son! Time to wake up for school!"
Wallaby groaned.
"Oh man," he said to himself. "What a crazy dream. Kuki…that red headed girl…"
Wallaby had a lot to tell to the others today.
-----
The boy groomed for school. Thirty minutes later, he ate a breakfast bar and rushed out the door. He saw Willy and Scott about half way to the school. Wallaby said hello to Willy and they walked to school. He was ignoring Scott, considering he had other things on his mind.
"Willy," said Wallaby.
The redhead looked at him.
"I had the weirdest dream last night. It was as if events from my past were flashing through my head. It was crazy. Everyone was there. Hoagie, Nigel, Abigail, but most of all, Kuki." Wallaby smiled.
Willy chuckled silently. Secretly, he knew Wallaby had a crush on the girl just by the look on his face.
"A dream huh?" asked Scott, who started to look worried. "I gotta go…somewhere. Bye!" he said sharply then left in a dash.
"What's his problem?"
Willy shrugged.
"There was this redhead too; a redhead girl. She seemed evil."
Silence.
"Oh well! It's probably nothin'," lied Wallaby.
They walked to school and departed for their first class. Wallaby walked up to his math class. The teacher was dressed in a basketball jersey three sizes larger than she was. She wore army pants as well and large tennis shoes.
The bell rang for the first class. They got to work on adding and subtracting negatives. At the end of the class, Duffried gave her students candy.
Wallaby met Willy and Nigel at the P.E lockers. They were assigned their lockers and got dressed as fast as they could. They got to class early and waited for the teacher to come.
"Hey Nigel," whispered Wallaby. He didn't know why he was whispering.
Nigel cocked his head.
"I had a weird dream last night, but I'll tell you all about it after school. It has something to do with all of us."
"Alright," said Nigel as he saw the teacher coming. They ran to their class.
The teacher took role. He seemed to be glaring at Wallaby and Nigel for some odd reason. They did the usual warm-up stretches class ran about six laps, then got back to their locker rooms to get dressed.
Nutrition didn't last very long. Wallaby went to his English class and saw Kuki. They started writing journals in class and were assigned to read the first chapter of The Catcher In the Rye.
After class, Kuki and Wallaby had a three-minute conversation then went to their next classes. In art, they saw the teacher drawing poorly made shapes and shading them. He just instructed the class to make shapes and shade them. He never actually showed them how. The class did a poor job, so he started yelling.
Wallaby and Scott were quite distant during class. He gave glances to the blonde boy. He was enraged by Nigel and Wallaby's friendship, just as he is with Hoagie.
Art ended and they walked to their science classes. Nigel and Wallaby met after class and went over to the secret hallway.
"Hey Kuki!" shouted Wallaby at the end of the secret hallway. "Abigail!"
"Hi Wally," they said at the same time.
Nigel and Wallaby sat next to Abigail and Kuki. They started eating their lunches. Kuki had a red bean paste roll and Abigail, Wallaby, and Nigel had sandwiches from the cafeteria. Nigel seemed tensed the whole time. The group asked why, but he didn't answer
After ten minutes of lunch, Wallaby started to speak.
"Hey guys, I almost forgot to tell ya'!"
"What?"
"I had a weird-"
"NIGIE!!!!"
"Oh crap," whispered Nigel, who ran to Abigail and hid behind her.
"Nigie?" asked the girl with the red cap. "What the heck-?"
"I'll tell you later!" he whispered sharply.
Everyone had confused looks.
"NIGIE!!!!!?" the voice shouted again. This time, it was louder.
"Nigie! I can see you!" she said as she ran towards the kids.
Nigel gave a gulp.
The girl went up to the group. She had red hair and glasses. She looked a bit pudgy and had an annoying voice that made people cringe.
"Nigie?" she asked. "I can see you behind that girl! Are you cheating on me?!"
Nigel stood up with an annoyed face and went over to her. "We were never going out in the first place Lizzie! Why don't you get it?"
She noticed the kids she was surrounded by.
"Hey! I know you guys! You were Nigel's stupid friends before. The Kids Next- OOPS!" she said with a wide face. "Didn't mean that."
"What?" asked Wallaby. "What did you say?"
"N-Nothing! You all have BETTER stay away from my Nigie or else they will get you!" Lizzie said with a mischievous voice.
"They?! Who?!" asked Abigail while standing up.
"I said nothing! Nigie! Where were you yesterday," she asked in her usual annoying baby tone. "I missed you!"
"Get away Lizzie," the bald boy cringed. "NOW!"
"B-but Nigie."
"NOW!"
"Hold up a sec," said Abigail. "Whom the heck are you talking about? The kids next what?"
"Oh," said Lizzie nervously. "Look at the time. Heh, heh. I hafta go. BYE NIGIE!"
She zoomed out of the secret hallway.
"Looks like she knows something we don't," said Wallaby.
"Yeah. This seems serious. Who will get us if NIGIE doesn't stay away from us?" joked Kuki.
They all laughed.
"Shut up," the boy in red said a bit annoyed. He gave a sigh. "Her name is Lizzie. She has been going after me for about a year now. Saying I'm her boyfriend and all, which I'm not! I don't know how she got this idea. I remember her starting to go after me from the moment I turned thirteen. I don't even like her in that way!"
"Say," asked Abigail. "Does anyone remember what happened before we turned thirteen?"
Silence.
Everyone looked frightened.
"Not at all," spoke Nigel.
"Same here," said Kuki.
"Yeh'. I remember yesterday mornin', my dad asked me if I remembered when my anger problem started. I got freaked out. I don't rememba'."
The bell rang and everyone groaned. They all headed to their next class. Wallaby had world history.
He entered the class and ignored Scott. He was thinking about his dream.
'Crud! I forgot to tell them about my dream! That damn Lizzie. Oh well, I'll tell them afta' school…'
Wallaby turned in his history homework and got a poor grade back. He grinned nervously. They did more work, and then the bell rang.
Wallaby headed to anger management. He sat down at the same seat he did yesterday. He saw Abigail and waved. She smiled and sat down next to him.
"Lincoln, Beetles," said Weinstein. "I would like to have a word with you."
Wallaby and Abigail looked at each other and shrugged. They got up to see the teacher.
"As you two might know, I called your parents last night."
"We know," they said monotone.
"I'm going to be calling your parents once a week to give them a heads up on how you're doing."
"Why?" asked Wallaby. "We haven't done anything!"
"Yeah. Abigail doesn't have an anger problem. I've told you!"
"But your third person has been concerning me, and you Wallaby. I told your dad about the fight I heard about."
Wallaby glared. "I'm sittin' down. You're pissing me off Weinstein!"
"Yeah," mumbled the longhaired girl. "Abigail is going to do just fine in this class. No problems here."
"Well first, take off that cap!" the teacher said in a sharp tone.
Abigail sighed and took it off. She went to her seat.
The bell rang for class. The teacher made the class form their usual circle.
"Class," spoke Weinstein. "I would like you all to go back to your childhoods. Back from as far as you can remember. I need two volunteers though."
Everyone raised their hands except Abigail and Wallaby.
"You two," she said demandingly to Abigail and Wallaby. "You will be my volunteers."
"But we didn't-"
"Come now!"
They groaned and sat down at the front of the classroom. They were told to lie down on mats.
"Now close your eyes."
They did as commanded.
"You first Abigail," the teacher said calmly. "What is the first thing you remember?"
Abigail sighed. "Abigail remembers when she was five years old. It was her birthday party."
"What did you see at your party?"
"There were piñatas and there was a moon bounce. The cake was chocolate with white frosting. My mom, dad, and sista Cree were there."
"How was the party, and how did you feel?"
Abigail gave a sigh, thinking of the typical 'how do you feel' question. "It was fun. I had a lot of neighborhood friends come. I felt happy."
"Now do you remember when you were six years old?"
"Kind of," she said a bit worried. "Not really. Abigail only remembers half of the year, then it is a blank for her until she turns thirteen."
Wallaby lifted himself up and stared at her.
"Me too," he said quietly to himself.
"You what, Wallaby."
"I dun remember anything from when I was six all of the way to thirteen years old."
The teacher grinned to her mentor in the back of the room. He winked back at her. None of the other students saw her do this.
The bell rang and the students rushed out of the school. They had the whole weekend ahead of them.
Wallaby and Abigail purposely rushed out of the classroom to avoid talking to their anger management teacher.
"Whoa," said Wallaby.
"Whoa is right. We have a lot to tell everyone. We're finally starting to get somewhere…"
-----
END OF CHAPTER FIVE!
If I made some mistakes, I apologize. I felt as if I had, but oh well! Chapter six is coming up soon! The five friends are finally getting somewhere, and what is up with that anger management teacher? And what about the P.E teacher glaring at Nigel and Wallaby? And what is Lizzie talking about when she threatened everyone about hanging out with Nigel?
FIND OUT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! … Or so " …haha I'm making this sound like a soap opera. Please review!
'I have crazy teachers, I got a crush on a girl I just met today, and I made new friends who seem oddly familiar." He gave a chuckle. "All of this on the first day of school."

Wallaby groaned.

The boy groomed for school. Thirty minutes later, he ate a breakfast bar and rushed out the door. He saw Willy and Scott about half way to the school. Wallaby said hello to Willy and they walked to school. He was ignoring Scott, considering he had other things on his mind.

"There was this redhead too; a redhead girl. She seemed evil."

Art ended and they walked to their science classes. Nigel and Wallaby met after class and went over to the secret hallway.
"Hey Kuki!" shouted Wallaby at the end of the secret hallway. "Abigail!"
"Hi Wally," they said at the same time.
Nigel and Wallaby sat next to Abigail and Kuki. They started eating their lunches. Kuki had a red bean paste roll and Abigail, Wallaby, and Nigel had sandwiches from the cafeteria. Nigel seemed tensed the whole time. The group asked why, but he didn't answer
After ten minutes of lunch, Wallaby started to speak.
"Hey guys, I almost forgot to tell ya'!"
"What?"
"I had a weird-"
"NIGIE!!!!"
"Oh crap," whispered Nigel, who ran to Abigail and hid behind her.
"Nigie?" asked the girl with the red cap. "What the heck-?"
"I'll tell you later!" he whispered sharply.
Everyone had confused looks.
"NIGIE!!!!!?" the voice shouted again. This time, it was louder.
"Nigie! I can see you!" she said as she ran towards the kids.
Nigel gave a gulp.
The girl went up to the group. She had red hair and glasses. She looked a bit pudgy and had an annoying voice that made people cringe.
"Nigie?" she asked. "I can see you behind that girl! Are you cheating on me?!"
Nigel stood up with an annoyed face and went over to her. "We were never going out in the first place Lizzie! Why don't you get it?"
She noticed the kids she was surrounded by.
"Hey! I know you guys! You were Nigel's stupid friends before. The Kids Next- OOPS!" she said with a wide face. "Didn't mean that."
"What?" asked Wallaby. "What did you say?"
"N-Nothing! You all have BETTER stay away from my Nigie or else they will get you!" Lizzie said with a mischievous voice.
"They?! Who?!" asked Abigail while standing up.
"I said nothing! Nigie! Where were you yesterday," she asked in her usual annoying baby tone. "I missed you!"
"Get away Lizzie," the bald boy cringed. "NOW!"
"B-but Nigie."
"NOW!"
"Hold up a sec," said Abigail. "Whom the heck are you talking about? The kids next what?"
"Oh," said Lizzie nervously. "Look at the time. Heh, heh. I hafta go. BYE NIGIE!"
She zoomed out of the secret hallway.
"Looks like she knows something we don't," said Wallaby.
"Yeah. This seems serious. Who will get us if NIGIE doesn't stay away from us?" joked Kuki.
They all laughed.
"Shut up," the boy in red said a bit annoyed. He gave a sigh. "Her name is Lizzie. She has been going after me for about a year now. Saying I'm her boyfriend and all, which I'm not! I don't know how she got this idea. I remember her starting to go after me from the moment I turned thirteen. I don't even like her in that way!"
"Say," asked Abigail. "Does anyone remember what happened before we turned thirteen?"
Silence.
Everyone looked frightened.
"Not at all," spoke Nigel.
"Same here," said Kuki.
"Yeh'. I remember yesterday mornin', my dad asked me if I remembered when my anger problem started. I got freaked out. I don't rememba'."
The bell rang and everyone groaned. They all headed to their next class. Wallaby had world history.
He entered the class and ignored Scott. He was thinking about his dream.
'Crud! I forgot to tell them about my dream! That damn Lizzie. Oh well, I'll tell them afta' school…'
Wallaby turned in his history homework and got a poor grade back. He grinned nervously. They did more work, and then the bell rang.
Wallaby headed to anger management. He sat down at the same seat he did yesterday. He saw Abigail and waved. She smiled and sat down next to him.
"Lincoln, Beetles," said Weinstein. "I would like to have a word with you."
Wallaby and Abigail looked at each other and shrugged. They got up to see the teacher.
"As you two might know, I called your parents last night."
"We know," they said monotone.
"I'm going to be calling your parents once a week to give them a heads up on how you're doing."
"Why?" asked Wallaby. "We haven't done anything!"
"Yeah. Abigail doesn't have an anger problem. I've told you!"
"But your third person has been concerning me, and you Wallaby. I told your dad about the fight I heard about."
Wallaby glared. "I'm sittin' down. You're pissing me off Weinstein!"
"Yeah," mumbled the longhaired girl. "Abigail is going to do just fine in this class. No problems here."
"Well first, take off that cap!" the teacher said in a sharp tone.
Abigail sighed and took it off. She went to her seat.
The bell rang for class. The teacher made the class form their usual circle.
"Class," spoke Weinstein. "I would like you all to go back to your childhoods. Back from as far as you can remember. I need two volunteers though."
Everyone raised their hands except Abigail and Wallaby.
"You two," she said demandingly to Abigail and Wallaby. "You will be my volunteers."
"But we didn't-"
"Come now!"
They groaned and sat down at the front of the classroom. They were told to lie down on mats.
"Now close your eyes."
They did as commanded.
"You first Abigail," the teacher said calmly. "What is the first thing you remember?"
Abigail sighed. "Abigail remembers when she was five years old. It was her birthday party."
"What did you see at your party?"
"There were piñatas and there was a moon bounce. The cake was chocolate with white frosting. My mom, dad, and sista Cree were there."
"How was the party, and how did you feel?"
Abigail gave a sigh, thinking of the typical 'how do you feel' question. "It was fun. I had a lot of neighborhood friends come. I felt happy."
"Now do you remember when you were six years old?"
"Kind of," she said a bit worried. "Not really. Abigail only remembers half of the year, then it is a blank for her until she turns thirteen."
Wallaby lifted himself up and stared at her.
"Me too," he said quietly to himself.
"You what, Wallaby."
"I dun remember anything from when I was six all of the way to thirteen years old."
The teacher grinned to her mentor in the back of the room. He winked back at her. None of the other students saw her do this.
The bell rang and the students rushed out of the school. They had the whole weekend ahead of them.
Wallaby and Abigail purposely rushed out of the classroom to avoid talking to their anger management teacher.
"Whoa," said Wallaby.
"Whoa is right. We have a lot to tell everyone. We're finally starting to get somewhere…"
