"Man this sucks, I don't want to go to school," Kawamoto Jessica said, as her alarm clock went off. "Heck, I'll just sleep the whole day. There's no one here to force me to go to school……."

Just as she said that, a musical note went off on her dresser. It was Jessica's cell phone.

"Arugh, stupid Momo…..," grumbled Jess. She had just received a text message from her best friend Momoshiro Takeshi, saying she must come to school. "So much for sleeping the whole day……"

As Jessica was walking to school, she heard a loud voice scream her name. She turned around to see Momo on his bike.

"You decided to come after all!" Momo happily stated.

Momoshiro Takeshi or Momo was one year above Jessica. The two had met in elementary school and instantly became friends. By sheer coincidence they managed to get into the same Jr. High school.

"If I had left you alone, what would you have done today?" Momo asked.

"Slept all day…..Probably would have dragged myself to school during lunch anyway……," Jess replied while sticking a cigarette into her mouth.

"Hey, don't do that. You know smoking is bad for you," Momo lectured Jess.

"Whatever, Mom……--," was all Jess said before lighting the cigarette. She then looked up and noticed they were already at school.

"Wow, here already? That was fast! I'll see you after school Jess. By the tennis courts. And don't ditch today!" Momo said, while speeding off to lock his bike.

"Feh…..," was the only reply. Jessica continued on into the school, towards the shoe lockers. There she saw Yuzuriha Shizuka, one of her friends, talking happily to her boyfriend Fuji Syuusuke.

"Hey makeinu (loser)," Jess greeted Shizuka, while she hit Shizuka head upside with her bag.

"Ow! And don't call me that! ," Shizuka said to Jess.

"I'll see you later Shizuka," Fuji said while walking away.

"Ah, I'll talk to you after school Fuji!"

"Ok "

As Shizuka was waving goodbye to Fuji, Jess put on her shoes.

"….'I'll talk to after school Fuji darling 3'," mocked Jess.

"Shut up! You're so mean!" Shizuka screamed at Jess while turning a lovely shade of pink. "I'm surprised to see you here at school Jess. Any reason why you came?"

"Yeah, well Momo gave me a wake up call, and I thought, 'What the hell?' ya know?"

"…..well, I guess it doesn't matter as long as you're here;"

"What's that supposed to mean? The school should be happy I grace them with my presence!"

"Heh, let's just go to homeroom. Mitsuki's waiting for us."

"Waaaa? Is that you Jess?" Hiwatari Mitsuki asked when Jessica and Shizuka walked through the door. Mitsuki was also Jess' friend.

"Sigh. Yes, it's me, the wonderful Kawamoto Jessica," was Jess' reply.

"I'm glad you came to school. What made you come?"

"Erugh, I don't feel like explaining. Ask Shizuka."

" ? Eh? Ok, why did Jess come to school today Shizuka?"

"Well….," Shizuka started, but the teacher walked in.

"Take your seats everyone. And take out your homework. We're going to go over it," the teacher said.

"I'll tell you later Mitsuki," Shizuka said while Jess and she scrambled to their seats.

"Kawamoto-san? Is that Kawamoto-san I see?" the teacher asked.

"Sigh. Yes, it's me. --"

"Decided to grace us with your presence eh? As a welcome back present, you're going to have to do problem 6 on the board."

"Arugh, I don't even have my books. Have someone else do it."

"Yuzuriha-san, lend Kawamoto-san your book."

"Sorry Jess. Page 239," Shizuka said as she handed Jess her math book.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Eh? I don't know "

"Geez," was all Jessica said as she went up to the board. She stared at the problem for a few seconds and solved it easily.

"Let's see if you're correct or not Kawamoto-san…..," the teacher said. "Hmmm, hmmm, I'm afraid The teacher was perplexed.

"Just because I miss and hate school doesn't mean I'm stupid. I don't come because of bad teachers like you teaching pointless stuff," Jess remarked. She returned to her seat and leaned back in her chair. "This is going to be one frinkin' long day….."

The class pretty much looked like this after Jess' remark: ;

"Finally, school's out!" Mitsuki happily stated. "Wanna go grab a snack?"

"I can't, I have basketball practice," Shizuka said.

"Momo wanted to meet me at the tennis courts….," Jess said.

"Ok, I'll see you guys tomorrow," Mitsuki said while waving goodbye.

"I'll see you too Jess. I have to go to the girls' locker and change."

"Right, bye Shizuka," Jessica waved goodbye. "Time to head over to the tennis courts... I wonder what Momo wants."

That's the first chapter minna-san! Please review and tell me if you like it or not. This is the first time I'm writing a fic. Don't be too harsh. Oh and if the main character seems kind of meanish, don't worry. She will change. (the title of the story is changing myself for you after all )
