Author's note: Hiya! I was stuck at this chapter... and now I'm not! Hannah, you're a genius! I skipped a day, so it's now Monday... I just love substitute teachers, they let you type up fanfics during class... Hannah, thanks for the idea, without you, I would be doomed to be cooked in pies and fed to cats. Hope you like the chapter...

Chapter 9
"Thank god Fanta cast a spell to help convince my parents to let everyone stay for a while..." Iris says to Mai, grabbing a few books from her locker.
"Yeah..." Mai responds, still a little out of it.
"I hope you can pull it together this week, you have a math test and a history test on Tuesday." Aura tells her.
"Err, don't remind me." Mai groans.
Alec Taylor, the star quarterback and class president, walks down the hallway, with his 'fan club' of girls following his every move.
"What a baka," Iris mutters.
"Those girls are even worse though." Aura adds.
"Yeah, worse than the Prince Yuki Fan Club." Iris giggles.
"Hey! I think he's kinda hot." Mai murmurs, staring after Alec.
"No, no, no, no, no. You are not joining the Alec Taylor Fan Club. We wont let you." Iris forcibly tells Mai.
"You're just trying to get back at Jack." Aura observes.
"No, I'm not!" Mai protests, knowing it's the truth, but refusing to admit it. "You guys said that I should move on, and I have!"
"He's the first good looking guy you've seen today." Iris points out.
"No he isn't!" Mai tells her.
"Then name who else you saw." Aura demands.
The bell rings and first class begins.
Mai has math first and she can't afford to skip, so she goes to class and gets confused on the simplest equations. After math, she has physical education, and Alec is in her class.
"Hey, Alec." Mai says.
"Um, hi." He responds.
"Wanna hang out sometime?" Mai asks hopefully.
"No." Alec tells her. "You know that I have a girlfriend and that you're a loser right?"
"Yeah, I do." Mai says, and breaks down crying.
She runs back to the girl's locker room and changes quickly. Skipping the rest of school, she grabs her bag, and runs out of the school.
She immediately heads to the local YMCA and works out for 2 straight hours. Exhausted, she calls Iris's cell phone, and Iris agrees to pick her up at lunch to drive her back home.
"So, what happened?" Iris asks, concerned.
"The usual, I'm just overly emotional today." Mai responds.
Silence for the rest of the ride.
"Well, feel better soon." Iris says, as Mai climbs out of the car.
Meanwhile back at Iris's house, Medina was trying to kill everything that moved with a pair of toenail clippers.
