"God, shove me down the hallway to the other side of the school why don'tcha!" I yelled, irritated. I shoved a few people out of the way to get to my locker and I stopped in front of it.

"Dammit. I can't remember the combination..." I angrily sighed. "Oh well, screw it." I kicked the locker with as much force as possible and it swung open. I dodged it and then sighed. "Damn lock...er?" I surprisingly said as I tried to comprehend what a bunch of letters were doing stuffed inside my locker. "Well...that might have something to do with it."

I picked up the stack of them and thumbed through each one. Just a heart on the back of all but one. I shoved them back in my locker and shook my head.

"That's what I get for shoving off to Japan and being the only damned american in this school..." I groaned, not even realizing why a letter like that wouldn't have a heart on it. I rummaged through my locker, reaching into it with one hand and pulled out my lunch. Anticipated, I looked inside but only found a PB&J sandwich.

"Why...does everyone hate me?" I mumbled once again sighing and slamming my locker.

I tiredly walked down the hall carrying my japanese-style school bag, which held my lunch inside, and shoved the door open to the grounds outside. I leaned on a column a few feet away from the entrance and slowly sat down, my back sliding down against the column. Then, I sighed and pulled out my lunch. I held it as though it were something of utmost disgust. Well...that's because it was. I mean, hello? When the bread is moldy, mom, there's something that you do to it...it's called THROW IT AWAY.

I smacked a hand to my forehead and shook my head at the thought. Ugh...

"Oy! Kawari-san!" a voice behind me called. I immediately recognized it as Kiru-kun's and turned around to smile at him.

"Naa!" I spoke suddenly. That could've been because of the fact that about five angry girls where stomping towards me behind him. But I'm not quite sure...um...that was sarcasm...'scuse me.

I bolted up and dashed off, scurrying behind a few tall bushes and ducked. The six of them jolted past, as expected...heh heh...and continued calling, "KOWAIII-SAAAAN!"

Tauntingly and not realizing it, I yelled out, "Get my name riiiiiiight!" in that same tone they used to call for me. I felt 5 pairs of angry eyes burning into my forehead and realized just what I had done. "Oh...shoot." I chuckled standing there behind the bushes, cluelessly. I then felt a yank at my arm. My head turned to my right and saw someone who I didn't expect at all.

"Nara-ku--" I tried to get out before he pulled me out of the bush I was in to an even taller row next to it.

What in the hell was he trying to do? Save me or something? Wow. I feel liked. Um...not.

I watched from behind the bushes as the six students confusingly searched for me. They then frowned at each other and slowly walked off. I sighed deeply with relief.

"Umm...Thanks...about that..." I turned to my right to say, holding my head, feeling faint from running so hard. I expected to see a smiling Souharu, of course, when I took my hand away from my face...but instead I saw thin air. I looked around for a while then felt a twitch under me. I felt my eye begin to twitch and slowly...ever so slowly...looked straight down. Sure enough, there was Soharu looking back up me, his head sitting on my lap. I felt my face turn completely red. "What the hell are you doing!" I whispered, forcefully. He only smirked, and something felt like it cracked my skull. My hand flew up to feel my head, and blood was coming out. I shook my head and looked at my hand again. Not a single drop of blood was there. I jumped to conclusions, the world spinning around me, as I slowly began to sink to the ground.I felt myself become even more so light-headed and slowly hit the ground.

"Nnnn..." I murmured as I lifted my self up, expecting to be lying where I was, on the ground behind the bushes. To my surprise, I opened my eyes to a huge crowd of students. All of them were quietly talking while some faces lit up to the fact that I had awaken. I was laying down in a bed at the nurse's office. Ick. Great...

"Umm...hello?" I raised an eyebrow, looking around. Soon, the quiet chatter around me became a booming commotion.

"Kawari-san! Kawari-san!" one boy started. "Is it true that Nara Souharu did that to you?"

"That?" What in the world are you talking about!"

Another girl interrupted, "Satsuki-san ran over to us in the middle of lunch and saw you fainted with your skirt up and Nara-kun with his hand..." she glanced to each side of her, jumpily, "NEARBY!"

"WHAT!" I yelled, surprised. An idiotic move for me. The commotion only became hundreds of decibals louder and added to my headache. Shoot. I still hadn't said anything about my head injury, or whatever it was that I had. The nurse began shoo-ing people out of her office.

"This is no social gathering, students! Please! Go back to your classes!" she yelled in Japanese. I found that I knew this phrase, somehow. Perhaps it was from back at home? Mrs. Tanaka next door told me I'd hear that a lot coming to a Japanese school.

The noise began to die down a considerable, but then soon cranked back up with laughter when someone had stole the nurse's cap and was playing Keep Away with it.

I felt myself becoming dizzy again, when all suddenly became quiet and everyone's head turned towards the door.

It was Souharu...and he didn't look happy.

At all...

Well, it's 3:37 AM and my internet's down...so what better time and excuse to write! Heh heh...

Anyway...How's the story so far? Good? Yes? Good enough that you want to comment it? Yes? Huh? Is it? Anyway...I'll be writing chapter four tonight, too. I mean, my internet's not coming back on anytime soon, so yeah...
