AN: hi everyone. I'm a lil tired so be lucky I'm writing this chapter, -yawns- but uh...yea next chapter, here you go, enjoy.

Connie layed in her bed all day the next day. She didn't get up unless she had to go to the bathroom, which was just across her room. She wasn't eating anything either, obviously.

After a few hours of laying in her bed all depressed, her mom came to her door and knocked on it because she realized the door was locked.

"Connie, I'm gonna go to the store, do you want anything?" she asked calmly

"my friends."

"nice try, but no." she said back as she turned and left the hall way and out the front door.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." she yelled before she left.

"yea, whatever." she mumbled as she turned on her side and almost fell asleep, then had the urge to turn her radio on. She sat up and got out of bed, then headed to her radio to put one of her favorite CD's in. (SIMPLE PLAN!) She pressed the play button then went back to her bed. She listened to the first song 'Shutup' and then her favorite song came on.

Do you ever feel like breaking down

do you ever feel out of place

like some how you just don't belong

and no one understands you

do you ever wanna run away

do you lock yourself in your room

with your radio on turned up so loud

that no one hears you screamin'

no you don't know what it's like

when nothing feels alright

you don't know what it's like

to be like me

to be hurt, to feel lost, to left out in the dar

to be kicked, when your down, you feel like you've been pushed around

to be on the edge and breakin' down and no one's there to save you

no you don't know what it's like

welcome to my life!

do you wanna be someone else

are you sick of feeling so left out

are desperate to find something more

before your life is over

are you stuck inside a world you hate

are you sick of everyone around

with the big fake smiles and stupid lies

but deep inside your bleeding

no you don't know what it's like

when nothing feels alright

you don't know what it's like to be like me

to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

to be kicked, when you're down, you feel like you've been pushed around

to be on the edge and breakin' down and no one's there to save you

no you don't know what it's like...

welcome to my life!

no one ever lied straight to your face

and no one ever stabbed you in the back

you may thing I'm happy but I'm not gonna be ok

everybody always get you what you wanted

you never had to work it was always there

you don't know what it's like, what it's like

to be hurt, to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

to be kicked when you're down, you feel like you've been pushed around

to be on the edge and breakin' down and no one's there to save you

no you don't know what it's like, what it's like

to be hurt to feel lost, to be left out in the dark

to be kicked when you're down,

you feel like you've been pushed around

to be on the edge and breakin' down and no one's there to save you

no you don't know what it's like

welcome to my life

welcome to my life

welcome to my life

After the song was over, Connie heard the doorbell rang and sighed as she got out of bed and paused her CD. It rang again as she headed down the hallway, and again as she got closer and closer to the door.

"I'm comin', I'm comin', my god! how many times are you gonna press the stupid button?" she asked more herself as she opened the door.

"how may I help yo-...Itsuya?"

"oh, it's about bloody time, what took you so long?" he asked still ringing the doorbell.

"stop ringing the doorbell!" she yelled.

"is that what it is?" he asked as Sonako and Minoru came up from behind him.

"hey connie." they both said.

"uh...um...hi..." she thought for a moment, shocked.

"what the hell are you doing here! and how in the bloody hell did you get here!" she screamed unexpectantly making her friends jump. Shaking, the shrugged their shoulders.

"and where've you been!" she pointed to Sonako and Minoru.

"uh...l-looking f-for you." they stuttered.

Connie sighed and put her hand on her head, because she was startin' to get a major headache, then the phone rang. She looked back at the phone and back at her friends and did it more than twice.

"come inside." she growled as she dragged them in and shut the door, then headed for the phone.

"hello? oh, hey mom. um...i was listening to my radio. yea, uh...that'd be fine. I said it'd be fine, mom. ok! fine, bye." she slammed the phone on it's charger and sighed, again, as she looked back at her friends who weren't there.

"sonako? minoru? Itsuya! where are you guys!" she yelled as she looked in the living room, in her mom's and her room, the kitchen...'where could they be?' she asked herself as she heard laughter down the hall. She went to the door and opened it and sweatdropped at what she saw. Itsuya was playing with the toilet paper, Minoru wouldn't stop flushing the toilet and Sonako...she couldn't see her anywhere.

"where's sonako?" she asked as she went inside. Itsuya and Minoru pointed at the shower, then she walked towards it and pulled back the curtains, seeing Sonako sitting in there with her knees against her chest and her arms wrapped around her legs.

"Sonako, what's wrong?" Connie asked as she went inside the shower and sat with her.

"hi connie," she started as she looked up at her new best friend.

"it's Itsuya and Minoru, they always seem like they have more fun than me, and when they left to go screw around with something, they made me go but I didn't want to because I didn't want to make you more mad than you already were." Sonako explained as Connie slightly chuckled, thinking that she acts like a mom or something.

"ok Sonako, 1rst things first, you're not a kid, so there's no reason to cry, you're a teenager, and 2nd thing I'll deal with the boys." she smirked as she and Sonako stood up and got out.

"Itsuya, Minoru." she called as Sonako stood beside her with her arms crossed.

"what?" they both asked, curious

''I want you to clean up this mess, and you can't get out 'til you're done." she explained as she and Sonako went out the door and locked it.

"huh?" they both said as they went to go open the door but they couldn't.

"hey! Connie! let us out!" they both yelled, banging on the door.

"nope, not 'til you clean up your mess."

"we came all this way to see you, and this is what we get!"

"yep, if you clean up, maybe I'll take you somewhere." she bribed.

"Like where?" they both asked.

"it's a surprise, you'll have to wait." she said as she grabbed Sonako's hand and headed to her room to 'talk'

About half an hour later, Connie went to the bathroom to check on the boys and found them gone.

"where'd they go!" she asked in anger.

"uh...Connie." Sonako said to get her attention as she pointed at the boys, which were trying to get through her window. She sighed as she went to her window and opened it up for them to fall in her room.

"you guys get you're asses in here." she said as she closed the window and heard the front door opened.

"Connie, I'm home!" Kagome yelled as she went in the kitchen.

"oh crap!" she whispered as she looked around frantically

"uh...you guys stay in here, and uh...I'll be right back, and don't touch anything." she pointed to Itsuya and Minoru as she closed her door on her way out. She walked down the hallway and headed to the kitchen.

"hey mom." she greeted to cheerfully.

"uh...hi, ready for lunch?" she asked her daughter as she put stuff away.

"um...not yet, I'll be in my room, ok? ok." she said as she sneaked back to her room. When she got to her room, she closed the door and layed her back against it. "whew, that was close."

She went over to her friends and sat beside them as they sat around bored out of their minds.

"uh...we can't exactly do anything right now because my mom's home." she explained breaking the silence.

"but we cleaned up that mess." Minoru pointed out.

"yea, I know...why did you sneak out and try to go through my window?"

"because we couldn't get out and that was the only way out." Itsuya explained

"you could've called me, I would've let you out." she explained, they just looked at her blankly.

"nevermind." she said as she rested her chin on her hand.

"so what're we suppose to do?" Sonako asked boringly.

"hmm...I have an idea." she said as she held her fore finger up.

15 MINUTES LATER

"shhh!" Connie said as they went down the hall to the front door. They slowly sneakily reached the door and Connie grasped the door knob and slowly turned.

"mom, I'm going to the mall, be back soon, bye!" she said really fast as she slammed the door and they were all outside running out of the yard so they wouldn't get caught. Kagome looked out from the kitchen to the front door suspiciously, then shrugged like it was nothing.

They walked for a few blocks, and with a little difficulty they crossed the road and made it to the other side. They walked for a few more blocks and made it.

"whoa! this place is huge! what's it called?" Itsuya asked as they got closer to they went through the entrance.

"it's called the mall."
