"Um, hey, are you alright?"

JR who had waited for the impact with her eyes close, opened them and realized that she hadn't fallen nor had the guy she had bumped.

"Huh? Oh yea, thanks" she said. As she stared into his green eyes, she became conscious that she was in his arms and quickly stepped away.

"I, um, sorry about that" she said, blushing.

The guy laughed. "It's ok" he said.

When JR got a better look at him, she started to recognize his face. '… He's the new guy!' she thought as memories came back.

"Um, Chris, right?"

"Yeah" he replied, smiling. "But I didn't catch your name"

"Oh, right! I'm Jade but call me JR" she said.

"Nice to finally know your name" Chris responded.

Jade once again blushed. "Um, it's really nice to meet you too but I, uh, need to go, my dad's waiting for me" she said.

"Ok. See you tomorrow" Chris said with smile.

"B-bye" JR replied then she went on her way.

'What just happened?' she thought.

"You're late"

"Oh gee, I feel so welcome" JR replied sarcastically as she dropped her bag and looked at Fu Dog.

"Hey, don't blame me" he said as Jake came in the room.

"You're late" he said.

'Do they have to say it twice?' JR thought. "I know but I-"

"No excuses" Jake said, crossing his arms.

"So kiddo, what took you so long?" Fu asked.

"Nothing" JR answered airily, not wanting to share her experience just yet.

"Listen, Jade, you have to take your training seriously. I will not accept any more of you being tardy, understand?" Jake said.

JR nodded.

"Good. Now, let's go to the rooftop and practice your flying skills. Then, I'll teach you some basic moves"

JR walked into her room and fell into her bed. She stayed there for a few minutes then sat up and sighed.

She looked around her room and saw the parcel her granduncle had given her the other day. She picked it up and opened it. Inside was a uniform, identical to the Huntsgirl's.

She took a closer look at it. How could this happen? Her mom and dad are enemies with each other. What on earth was she supposed to do?

JR kept the uniform and laid on her bed. After awhile, her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"JR, it's Andy"

JR abruptly sat on her bed. "Um, hey…"

"Listen, I just want to make things clear with you. I'm your friend and I'm always here for you. Whatever secrets you may have, I won't judge you with it. And whatever they may be, they're always safe with me"

JR sighed. She just can't help it, she can't keep a secret from her best friend. "Then, I hope you're ready for this one"
