Chapter 3 : Running Into

Shinpachi walked down the noisey hallways. He looked left to right trying to find Todo and Sano. He looked forward and someone ran into him.

"OOF!" Shinpachi said falling to the ground. The other person didn't say anything.

As they are doing this Sano is at his locker making kissing noises. Todo is just watching with amazment. Yes yes I know. Why are they doing this sensless stuff? Want me to tell you why! Well to bad because I don't feel like it. Ain't I a stinker? WELL! Its my story.

"I'm sorry..." The girlish voice said getting up and picking up her school books.

"Nah its fine..." Shinpachi said laying there as everyone stared.

Shinpachi layed in humilation. His face was probably as red as his hair.

Shinpachi stood up as everyone laughed at him from being pushed over. The girl bowed and said, "I'm sorry please forgive me." She ran off.

"Who was that?" Shinpachi said looking at the girl running off.

"DUDE! You got pushed over by a girl!" A boy shouted. Everyone continued to laugh at him. He walked until he came to Sano and Todo. They were letting out little chuckles.

"You to guys?" Shinpachi said looking back and forth at Sano and Todo. Shinpachi walked off pushing his way through the crowded hallways. He felt like crying from the humilation. But he held it in like a "man" should do.

!In class!

"Class today we have a new student. Reika Hatoru. She moved here from the U.S.A. Her father is from Japan, if any of you were wondering about her last name. So class behave and don't treat her badly. Today is her first day after all." Mrs. Sakura said pointing to an empty desk infront of Susumu.

The girl had purplish hair, which was put up in a braid. She had on a classic japanese school girl uniform. Unfortunatly this school didn't have uniforms. So she was kind of the odd ball at the moment.

She looked at Shinpachi with her red eyes. Then she sat in the desk that was provided. She looked sad, like she was missing something. Then she took out a picture, it had four people in it. A man; her father, a woman; her mother, then a little boy, and her. She rubbed her fingers across the photo and a tear escaped from her one of her eyes. It had to be a recent picture.

Shinpachi looked at the girl. Trying to figure out whats wrong. But to no prevail. She opened her math text book and began working on the pages that were givin by the teacher. Shinpachi turned to the other side of the room. Where the girl with dark blue highlights was sitting. Her name was Kasumi Hanata. She was one of the most popular girls in school. She was wearing a black mini skirt and a red tank top. Shinpachi sighed softly as he got a dazed look.

WELL! Thats it cuz i can't think of anything else. Uh... did i leave it off at a bad point? ANY WHO.

Shinpachi : WOO! MY CRUSH IS REVEALED!

Sano : you sound happy.

Shinpachi : WELL DUH! I've been waiting 2 chapters to find out!

Sano : Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Todo : (grins)

Shinpachi : DUDE! NO! BAD THOUGHTS!

Todo and Sano : GOOD!

Me : OH SHUT UP AND LET ME CLOSE THE STORY!

Shin, Todo, and Sano : (cower in fear)
