Blue walked in her house after leaving Hige and Toboe. She saw that Pops had passed out. She kneeled down by his side and picked up an empty beer bottle.
"Drunk again huh." Blue mumble. She stood up and walked up the stairs to her room. 'After Mom and Bobby died in the fire all Pops does is drink.' Blue thought as she feel onto her bed. 'After the fire Pops said we should get out of that town and start a new life, but there's no way you can ever forget the lost loved ones. Maybe I will be able to start a new life in this small town, though it will be hard to make new friends and leave my old friends in my old town. But I can't stop thinking about that night' Blue started to cry replaying everything that happen to her and Pops that summer night,
FLASHBACK
Blue walked into the kitchen. Her mom was starting dinner, her seven-year-old brother was in the living room watching cartoons, and Pops was sitting at the dinning room table reading the news paper.
"Oh shoot" said Blue's mom putting her hands on her hips.
"What is it mom?" Blue asked.
"We ran out of Pasta and soda."
"If you want, Blue and I will go to the store and pick some up." Pops said putting down the newspaper and looking at his wife.
"Yes, Thank You." Blue's mom said. Blue and Pops left to go to the store. Blue went inside the store while Pops stayed out in the car. Blue pick up the pasta and some soda. Then she paid for the items and walked out to where Pops was sitting in the car. She got in and they drove back to the house only to find it in flame and firemen surrounded by a crowd of people. Blue and Pops quickly got out of the car and ran to the front of the large crowd.
"What's going on here?" Pops yelled to one of the police trying to keep to people in safe distance from the burning house. Blue left Pops and the policemen to argue. She walked close to the ambulance. She then heard one of the firemen, who held something in a bundle, say "We managed to free this little boy but were still looking for anyone else that my be trapped in there." he placed the boy one a cot and ran back to the other firemen. Blue ran over to the ambulance workers.
"Did you find anyone else?" she asked shaking with fear.
"No, only the boy." he said looking over at the other workers inspecting the young boy.
'No' Blue thought 'Mom's still in there. Once the firemen had handled the fire they went searching for Blue's mother. Pops came over to Blue and sat next to her on the ground rubbing his hands together. They didn't say anything. They were to scared for their family. A firemen came over to them.
"We've found her. She is dead. And the boy is an inch from death. I'm sorry"
Blue starting crying even more then she already was. Pops got up a put his hand on her shoulder.
"Blue we should go see Bobby. He would want that." Blue nodded and walked over to where Bobby lied. He looked so helpless and burnt and he was not happy at all not like the Bobby she knew. Blue stroked his hair. Bobby barely opened his eyes.
"Blue. Pops. I love you." Bobby said weakly his voice breaking.
"We love you to Bobby." Blue managed to say. Bobby closed his eyes "Mommy" he said and he stopped breathing. Blue broke down into tears. 'My life is ruined.
END FLASHBACK
Blue fell asleep thinking of nothing besides that horrible night. She woke up that morning and went straight to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She walked out of the bathroom.
"Morning Blue." Pops said.
"Morning Pops." she said and went back to her room to get dressed. Blue picked out a pair of hip hugger plants, and black button up shirt showing a little of the white tank top she is wearing under it, and black tennis shoes. Blue grabbed her backpack, said goodbye to Pops, and walked out the door to go to school.
"Hey Blue" Hige yelled waving at her. Blue waved back smiling. She walked over to Hige and Toboe. Hige is dressed in sweat plant with yellow lines down the sides, a gray long sleeve shirt, and a yellow pullover with short sleeves showing the gray long sleeve shirt. Toboe is wearing a short sleeves peach colored button up shirt and tan colored plants.
"Hey guys" she greeted them. They continued to walk to school when Kiba showed up with a girl that was unfamiliar to Blue.
"Oh...Blue, Cheza. Cheza, Blue." Hige introduced them.
"This one is very pleased to meet you." Cheza said in her sweet loving voice. Cheza has lavender hair, her eyes are red, she is wearing a pink long sleeve dress that goes down to her knees. Kiba is wearing blue jean pants, a white T-shirt, and a jacket over the shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
"Same here." Blue said to Cheza. They made their way to the school and got there just in time for the bell to ring. Hige and Blue said their goodbyes and went to their first period history. Mr. Darcia was sitting on the edge of his desk waiting for his students to fill in the desk. Blue and Hige sat in the same desk that they sat in the day before.
"Hey Blue are you feeling alright?" Hige asked seeing Blue tired and sad expression.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Hige nodded but he really didn't believe Blue.
"If everyone is done talking then let's start today lesson by writing down the 37 notes on the boards." Blue open her notebook and began to write the notes. Hige did the same. Every now and then Hige would poke her in the back and she would turn around. Hige of course said "What?" every time. Blue would smile to herself and keep writing down notes. 'It's cute that he's so childish' Blue thought while writing down her 29th note. The bell rang. "If you didn't finish the notes you will be given time to do so tomorrow. Class dismissed."
"See you in third period." Hige said to Blue and left to his second period English. Blue walked down the hall to her second period study hall. She took a seat next to the window. 'Maybe their new life wasn't such a bad idea.' Blue thought and dozed off. She woke up just in time for the bell to ring for third period. She picked up her backpack and went to science class. she took a seat next to Hige. The teacher Mrs. Cher came in and talk about the first lesson.
"Blue?" Hige said out of the corner of his mouth.
"Huh?" Blue said turning to face him.
"You know what never mind" Hige said directing his attention to Mrs. Cher. Blue did the same. Mrs. Cher went on talking about the earth's atmosphere.
"That's all for today. You may talk quietly." Mrs. Cher said sitting down at her desk. Hige turned to Blue.
"So Blue are you going to sit with me at lunch again today?" Hige asked putting his hands behind his head.
"Yeah if you don't mind?" Blue said.
"No I don't mind. You can sit with us as you wish." Hige finished as the bell rang for fourth period.
"See you then." Blue said and walked to fourth period. Blue went in her class and saw Cheza sitting in the fourth row front desk. Blue walked over and sat in the desk behind Cheza. "You don't mind if I sit here do you?" Blue asked as Cheza turned around to face her.
"No, this one doesn't mind at all." Cheza answered smiling. "Looks like Tsume is skipping another class. I haven't seen him all day." Cheza said.
"Who's Tsume?" Blue asked Her. Once Cheza looked back at her.
"Tsume is a friend of Kiba and Hige. Though he rarely ever shows up for class. Last year he only showed up for 20 classes. As you would guess he failed and now he has to go though senior year again." Cheza explained to Blue. The teacher ,Mrs. Jagura came in and started talking about the first book that will be reading this year. She talked and talked it seemed like she would never stop talking about how great this book is, but to Blue it sounded pretty dull. The bell rang. Time for lunch. Blue and Cheza walked to the lunch room.
