Eep! I'm sorry guys! First I was busy with school ending and finals. Then the end of June was supposed to be busy for me, but basically everything was ruined (except getting my nose pierced) So that put me in bad mood. Then it was my birthday July 12th (I'm finally 16! YAY!) and my friends party apparently caused conflicts with friends who weren't invited for good reasons (like...them NOT talking to me or inviting me to their parties) Theeen I went to Canada for vacation and pretty much after that I fell into a little depression, but talking to my girlfriend cured me! So everyone must thank my lovey for that!

Again...thank you guys SO much for your reviews! I've been having a little trouble getting my thoughts and ideas down lately, so I hope this will be ok...plus it's 2:23 AM

Also...let's up Bra and Pan's age to about 16. Writing about 14 year olds isn't fun when you're not 14 anymore

Bra tried to ignore what she was feeling. Her heart was aching as if someone had stabbed it relentlessly with a knife. She had experienced this feeling many times before, often after break ups. So if that was the case, why was she feelin it now?

Bra shook her head, trying to throw the thoughts out of it. She was just really confused, she didn't know how to feel. She was certain she was feeling the wrong thing. Bra shook her head once more in order to rid her mind of any thoughts that dared to linger. She then filled her head with the positives of this situation.

"I won't have to worry about defending Pan when my friends say things, I won't have to worry about being seen with her...they won't call me a lesbian..." Bra continued to list off things in her head, but somehow most of them didn't seem too positive. She really did cherish her friendship with Pan, but then again it was giving her a nasty reputation. Besides, she had accomplished her original plan. She tried to convince herself it was a good thing.

Pan stared at the phone she had just slammed down. How could Bra say those things to her? All along Pan was hoping she was wrong about Bra not wanting to be her friend, but she was foolish to think that. Why did it hurt so much?

Pan growled to herself. It was her own fault she was feeling this pain. Why didn't she just open her eyes and see what was really going on? Why did she have to hold onto that little string of hope that Bra still wanted to be friends? Reality wouldn't have been this harsh if she had just seen things the way they really were.

"They were better friends than me? Ha!" Pan muttered as she gazed in the mirror, wiping away the few tears she allowed to fall. "They're not your friends, Bra, they're bitches. Just like you've become..."

Pan walked over to her dresser, which was covered with pictures of her and Bra in frames that said "best friends forever". Pan snorted at those frames as she either turned them face down or nonchalantly knocked them off the dresser without a care if they shattered. Forever, something that was supposed to be everlasting, had just ended.

Bra awoke the next morning with a pounding headache. But even with her headache, she was happy. Although Bra had trouble getting to sleep, she didn't dream about Pan at all.

"Maybe this day won't be so bad." Bra smiled to herself as she got ready for school. She wasn't sure what she was going to tell her mother about Pan not being there to walk to school with her. Maybe her mother wouldn't notice.

Bra grabbed her backpack before skipping down the stairs merrily. She hadn't felt this happy in a while. Maybe it was because she wasn't friends with Pan anymore. Maybe their friendship wasn't meant to last forever. Bra shrugged, deciding she didn't really care at this point. Pan was going to be completely erased from her memory from now on.

The phone rang, but before Bra had a chance to pick it up, her mother got it. Bra closed her eyes and hopped to Kami that it wasn't you-know-who.

"There's a boy on the phone for you," Bulma stated with a strange twinkle in her eye.

Bra rolled her eyes at her mother. "He's not my boyfriend, if that's what you were thinking." She grabbed the phone from Bulma. "Hello?"

"Hey Bra. I was wondering if you wanted a ride to school?"

It was that boy from yesterday. Bra knitted her eyebrows together trying to remember if she ever learned his name. Well it wasn't really important. All that mattered was this day was starting out perfectly, minus the headache part. "Sure! That would be great!"

Bulma raised an eyebrow at her daughter as she hung up the phone with a huge grin on her face. "Are you sure he's not your boyfriend? Maybe just boyfriend material?"

Bra sighed. "Please, mom, I barely know the guy. But he does have a nice car." Bra giggled, mostly to herself.

"So what did he want?"

What was Bra supposed to do? Her mother would certainly notice a red car outside, so she couldn't lie about still walking with Pan. "Um...he offered to give me a ride to school." "What about Pan?"

Bra knew she couldn't pause to think, otherwise her mother would know she was lying. Bulma was good about reading people. "He's going to pick her up too!" Bra just let her mouth do the thinking.

Pan didn't want to get out of bed. She didn't even want to wake up, but she had no say in that. Between her alarm clock and her mom, there was no way she wouldn't have been torn away from her dreams.

Pan was fairly certain that today would be a disaster. Like it or not, she still felt something for Bra, but she wasn't sure what that something was. She had tried to dismiss her said feelings for Bra. Pan wished she could take back what she said to Kenji. She couldn't have liked Bra, especially after Bra had been so uncaring about Pan and her feelings. Pan would never like someone like that. She wanted to tell Kenji she hadn't meant it, but doing that would make it seem like she was denying those said feelings. Maybe that's what she was doing now. Maybe she did like Bra, even if it was a little crush. Maybe...

"Pan! Have you gotten out of bed yet!?" Videl's voice cut right through Pan's thoughts, snapping her right back to reality. She checked her clock and realized if she didn't hurry, she'd never make it to school.

"Sorry mom! I'm up now!"

"You're going to make Bra late if you don't pick up the pace!"

Pan's eyes narrowed, if only her mother knew. She wanted to tell Videl, but somehow it didn't seem like a good idea. Maybe she would wait a few days. It didn't really matter if her mother ever found out. She would never know the difference.

Pan sighed as she prepared to walk to school alone.

Bra hopped in the passengers seat of his car. She still didn't know his name and she felt stupid to ask, especially since he knew her name. Usually it was the other way around. The ride was mostly silent, except for the hip-hop music that was playing on the radio. She looked out at the sidewalk where she used to walk with Pan. Ugh...she wasn't supposed to think of her! Pan was supposed to be erased from her memory. Bra was about to break the silence to get her mind off of Pan when she noticed the car was slowing down.

"Why are we slowing down?" Bra turned her head to face the boy.

"Isn't that your friend walking alone there?" He questioned, pointing right at Pan.

Bra hissed. "She's not my friend, ok?"

"But I always see you guys in the hallway together and stuff." He took one hand off the wheel to scratch his head in confusion.

"I guarantee you won't be seeing us together anymore."

The boy shrugged at that and sped back up.

Bra walked into school with "the guy" as she decided to christen him until she found out his name. She still couldn't keep her mind off of Pan and she was feeling desperate. There had to be some way for Bra to rid herself of Pan. If she hadn't seen Pan walking, she probably would have forgotten about her by now.

Bra wasn't sure what came over her, but the next thing she knew she was kissing the guy. She wasn't surprised that he gave in and started kissing her back. Bra felt giddy, she felt free of...her. Bra closed her eyes and didn't want to stop kissing him. Maybe this was the cure, this could cleanse Bra's mind of those impure thoughts.

Pan walked through the front doors of the school and was met by Ami.

"Hey Pan!" Ami wrapped her arms around Pan in a somewhat comforting hug.

"Uh hi," Pan said a little uncertainly. She wasn't sure why Ami was hugging her. Pan pulled away and stared at Ami's chocolate brown eyes. Though they were covered by light brown bangs, Pan could still see her eyes were clouded with concern. For her perhaps?

"Kenji told me-"

Pan grabbed the front of Ami's shirt, her knuckles turning white. "What did he tell you I said about Bra!?"

"Whoa there! Calm down, Pan! I was going to say he told me that he was worried about you. You seemed really down yesterday and you didn't seem to be miss sunshine when you walked in here. I was trying to make you feel better."

"Oh." Pan released her hold on Ami. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to yell like that or anything..."

"So what did you say about Bra?" Ami asked, curiosity now shining in her eyes.

"Nothing! And if I did say anything, I didn't mean it."

"Whatever." Ami knew her friend was lying, but she wasn't going to push her. Pan seemed to be bothered by something. She'd talk about it eventually. Ami was about to ask Pan if she wanted to find Kenji, but she was staring at something. "Pan...?"

"I can't believe her!"

Pan focused on Bra making out with the boy who offered her a ride home and who apparently gave her a ride to school. She felt overwhelmed with envy, though she wasn't sure why. She unconsciously stalked over to the two "love birds" and ripped Bra away from him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Pan screamed, unable to keep her anger and jealousy under control.

"No, the question is more like what are you doing!?" Bra yelled back at her ex-friend.

"I better go..." The guy ran off, wondering exactly what was going on with those two. Most of the people followed his suit, throwing this off as some sort of "you stole my boyfriend" type situation.

"So who is he?" Pan folded her arms across her chest.

"He isn't any of your business."

"What's his name, huh?" Pan didn't know why she wanted to find out all about this guy, but she did.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Bra folded her arms, much like Pan's were.

"You don't know his name, do you?" Pan could see right through the facade Bra tried to put up. She really had no idea who that guy was at all. She hadn't even known him for 24 hours yet, but she was so eager to make out with him. It was so unlike Bra and more like her slutty friends.

"Why would you care if I do or don't!? I'm just a bitch, remember, so why are you talking to me?"

"Oh I remember, don't think I'll ever forget that. I was so coldly reminded of it today when you and your boyfriend slowed down, pointed at me and then sped off! Don't think I didn't see!"

"We weren't talking about you, if that's what you're thinking! ...and he's not my boyfriend." Bra wasn't sure why she said that last part. She felt like Pan should know. She wanted Pan to know, but why?

The girls exchanged glares before storming away.

Bra sat at her desk and felt the urge to just smash her head against it. She had finally gotten Pan of her mind by making out with that guy when she had to come along and ruin it. Why was she always ruining everything? Pan ruined Bra's reputation, she ruined Bra's chance to be free of those thoughts...

"Since when are you and Ken friends?"

Bra looked over to find Suzume standing there, twirling her red hair. So Ken was his name? Bra made sure to remember that.

"Since he offered me a ride home yesterday and this morning." Bra smiled at her friend, who seemed quite jealous at the moment.

"And since when do you make out with guys you barely know?" Suzume took a seat next to Bra.

"Since I felt like it." Bra shrugged. She wasn't going to tell Suzume it was to get her mind of off Pan.

"I guess we're rubbing off on her, huh Suzume?" Aki laughed as she took a seat on the other side of Bra. "So give us details! Suzume's been wanting to fuck Ken so badly since she first laid eyes on him. Is he good?"

"Yeah he's a pretty good kisser." Bra put a smile on her face, but it didn't belong there. Although kissing Ken was a good way to keep Pan off her mind, it didn't feel right. Bra figured it was just because she wasn't used to making the first move.

"So I take it you and Pan are no more?" Aki asked Bra.

"Uh yeah. We're not friends anymore."

"Oh that's so great! Isn't it, Aki?" Suzume squealed. "We were so worried that you had turned lesbian on us, Bra! But know we totally know we're the ones rubbing off on you!"

Bra watched as her friends rejoiced, but she didn't listen to what they were saying. She didn't want to listen. Why were they so happy? So what if she liked Pan or something? So what if she was a lesbian? Why should it matter?

Bra blinked as she listened to her own thoughts. She was happy her and Pan were no more. She was the one who couldn't bare to think she liked Pan. She was the one who didn't want to be a lesbian or have people think she was one. She was the one who thought it mattered. Pan was right, she was turning into Aki and Suzume.

"I mean she was making out with a guy she barely knows, Kenji! It's so unlike her."

Pan had finished explaining everything that happened in Kenji in homeroom. Pan had also tried to convince him that she didn't mean what she said about liking Bra. She was now ranting to Kenji, but he couldn't find any advice to give Pan. There was one question burning in his mind and he had to ask it.

"Why'd you pull her off of him?"

"I-I don't know..." Pan looked away from Kenji's eyes.

"Why were you acting like you and Bra had been going out and just broke up? You just stopped being friends."

Pan was silent, she had nothing to say to Kenji. She thought back to when she first started talking to Kenji about what happened. Why did she feel the need to make him know she didn't like Bra? Why, especially when it was now painfully obvious she did like Bra?

"I was jealous..."

Kenji let Pan's words run around in his mind. He could have sworn she just told him she didn't really like Bra. Kenji sighed and shook his head. She really needed to make up her mind and sort out her feelings. Though Pan did seem persistent in making him know that she didn't like Bra. Perhaps she was only trying to convince herself she didn't have a crush.

"I know I told you that I didn't mean what I said yesterday, but I'm just trying to fool myself. I..." Pan paused, trying to gather her thoughts. "Yesterday I tried to tell myself all would be fine without Bra being there for me, that I didn't need her as a friend. It worked for a little while, but when I woke up this morning something was still there. I want to let go if she has too. I don't want to seem to pathetic, that's why I've been trying to convince myself, and you, that I don't feel anything for her anymore."

Kenji nodded his head, having his own thoughts echoed back to him by Pan. He was right, she was trying to fool herself. He looked at his friend, still unsure of what to tell her. He certainly couldn't tell Pan to get over Bra, especially since he didn't know how deep Pan's feelings ran. Kejni was stumped.

"Listen, Pan, I know I'm usually the one you come to for advice, but I honestly have no idea what to tell you," Kenji admitted. "I think this is just something you need to figure out on your own."

Pan gave Kenji a warm smile. She was thankful for him being there for her, even if he couldn't help her out in her current situation. Pan had a sinking feeling she was going to be flying solo on this one.

Bra leaned against her locker, hoping Ken would show up. She wanted to apologize for Pan pulling her away before. She also needed a ride home. Bra turned her head just in time to see Ken walking by.

"Ken! I wanted to apolo-"

"You don't need to apologize. I think I know out what's going on."

Bra blinked at Ken. "You...do?"

"Yeah. That girl is your ex-girlfriend, right? That's why you got all mad in the car when I asked if she was your friend and stuff. And it would explain why she got so jealous when she saw us kissing. Guess she's still not completely over you."

"Wait! Ken that's totally not it!"

"You don't have to lie, Bra. I mean, I don't really have a problem with the whole lesbian thing. But I think we should probably avoid seeing each other and stuff. You know, incase your ex-girlfriend sees us again. I don't want to make more problems for you guys." Ken gave Bra a curt nod and headed out the building.

"Ken, wait! You have it all wrong! AGH!" Bra let out a frustrated scream as Ken walked away with no intentions of coming back. Now she lost an escape from her thoughts and a possible boyfriend. She also lost a ride home.

Bra clenched her fists and kicked her locker as hard as she could. This was all Pan's fault! So much for her perfect day.

Meow! Sorry it took me so long to get out. I hope it was ok. Tell me what you guys think! Thanks so much!!
