Recap:

She came back out, still trembling slightly as she smiled at him. "We should be heading back right?" she said sweetly as he stood, nodding his head. They both walked back to the school silently, not looking at each other, just like on the way there.


Chapter 8: She's Not Worth Suspension

They continued through the day side by side, through Japanese, math, science, but when they got to gym, Meghan and Sakuya had to separate for once. Bridget, Meghan's new friend, stayed with her however, smiling as she always did. She'd been saved by Meghan during a project in Japanese, where Britney and her friends made Bridget do all the work, but Meghan needing a partner, pulled her out and they worked on it together.

"So, Meghan, you and Hitohori-kun, you two are really at it aren't you?" she asked, her eyes shinning as she put in her contacts after being convinced by Meghan; her aqua eyes shone in the light as her dirty blond hair rested, hanging over her shoulder in two braids. She looked at Meghan as she unbuttoned her blouse, changing into her gym clothes.

"What?" Meghan said in alarm, looking down at her stomach as well, seeing a red mark there. "Damn…didn't see that when we left" she mumbled, placing the shirt quickly over her head. She looked at Bridget as they both stood silent for a moment, starting to laugh the next. "Yea, we are… I guess" she blushed slightly as she put on her sneakers.

"Well, the boys may not have the same class as us, but they do have the same period" Bridget started, smiling at her.

"Speaking of which, what are we doing?" She asked, stopping before she reached the end of their row which was all the way in the back of the locker room, away from the fan clubs who were finding almost any reason to 'accidentally' beat up Meghan.

"Well, we're doing soccer right now… but the boys are doing fitness and soccer, so half of them will be on the next field over and the rest will be doing laps" she laughed, seeing Meghan freeze, hearing half of them would be on the bench as well, usually watching. "No pressures though, so don't worry" she assured her.


They stepped out onto the field, the boys already there, chattering as they waited for their teacher to arrive. Meghan and Bridget walked side by side, laughing at a joke Bridget just made up when suddenly Meghan felt a foot beneath her ankle, feeling the sudden pull as they pushed upward. She saw the ground coming towards her awfully fast, sticking her hands in front of her, she pushed away, doing a flip instead, turning around abruptly to see Britney and her group laughing, and walking away. Meghan clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as Bridget ran to her, asking if she was alright. Meghan said she was as the girls' gym teacher approached, a clip bored in the hand.

"Good afternoon Ms. Ame" they all chanted, as she towered over them.

"I believe we have a new student?" her voice rang as everyone nodded their heads. "Well, then that makes me want to see how she plays, so we know if she's worthy of being a captain. So, Britney, in the goal, new girl, try making a shot against her" she ordered as Britney ran towards the goal. Meghan nervously took a few steps behind where the ball was placed. She was told it wasn't a penalty shot or anything, so she could try approaching, or even punting.

All the boys stopped what they were doing, seeing Britney in the goal and Meghan with the ball, in a one on one. She smirked as she picked up the ball, starting to juggle it. Britney stood with her heels on the white line, ready to dive after the ball. She kicked the ball up, high in the air. As it came down, Meghan swung her leg around, aiming for the right corner of the goal post. Seeing this, Britney started towards it, but dove as she saw Meghan miss it, her eyes wide. Meghan started towards Britney, dribbling the ball, and walked up to her, kicking it in like she was taunting her.

Meghan smirked down at Britney as she started to rise, snarling at her. "Good! Guess we've got a new captain…" she mumbled, starting to make teams. The girls gathered around them, whispers going around, about how she'd just made a fool of Britney. Talk floated among the boys as well, Eriol, Sai, Yuki and Sakuya all smirking at each other, jogging around the perimeter of the fields.

The game was brutal, with Meghan and Britney going up against each other, punching, kicking, pushing whatever they could get away with while they were in possession of the ball, saying that they were just trying to get it.

As the game neared an end, the score was 2-2; a tie between them, when suddenly the whistle blew. "Times up ladies" she said, as the all stopped. "Head back and change. We can continue tomorrow!" her voice rang as she headed back towards the school. The two teams glared at each other, wanting to finish, the boys looking on as the huddled circle stood.

"Well, I guess we'll have to wait now won't we?" Meghan said cheerfully, as Bridget walked towards her. "I'll see you guys later" she smiled, holding out the peace sign for a few seconds, her back to them. They were just about half way down the field when Meghan felt something sharp in her shoulder. She looked over, to see the handle of what she could guess was a knife in her shoulder.

"You bitch!" She mumbled, pulling it out, wincing in pain. Sakuya and the guys started running towards her, trying to stop her from doing something, but it was too late. Her eyes flared as she gripped the handle, staring at Britney, who just store back, a smirk on her face. Just as Meghan started towards her, Sakuya grabbed her hand, pulling her back.

"Meg. Don't do it" he whispered to her, both of them staring at Britney. "She's not worth getting suspended over" With much effort and regret, Meghan dropped the dagger, as they all headed back towards the locker rooms, the group of girls shrieking with laughter.


Meghan punched the wall outside the martial arts room, waiting to go in, the sudden sound of her knuckles cracking forcing Sakuya to pull her towards him. "You're going to hurt yourself" he said, restraining her from hitting the wall, maybe hurting herself even more.

"I've gotta lose my anger some how…" she mumbled, as she glared at Britney, who chose that moment to pass them, saying fairly loudly "And then she just didn't attack me. Guess she's just too weak" to the girls who hadn't been there to see the events. They all started laughing as Sakuya tightened his hold around Meghan who tried swinging a punch at Britney as she passed. He gently nuzzled her neck, causing her to switch her gears. He slowly dragged her into the alley between the locker rooms and the indoor pool, Eriol and Sai standing in the front to make sure they weren't interrupted, allowing Sakuya to attempt at calming her down.

He slowly made his way up towards her lips, taking them with his. A moan escaped her throat as his hand started up her blouse unknowingly. They both felt their self control ebbing away again, but were stopped when they heard the voice of the teacher call for them. They quickly fixed their shirts, running a hand through their hair to make sure it looked like nothing happened. They both emerged from the alley, regretting that they did as they entered the martial arts room, a sudden silence falling between them.
