Hi! I decided not to make each period a different chapter because that would be boring and long so on we go! (Don't own anything cept the characters you haven't heard of)



Chapter 4: noise numbers and chemical mixtures

The bell rang waking Jackie from her slumber. She walked out of the classroom with her friend Holly, who had been sitting in front of her during U.S. History.

"Anything important I missed?" She asked her.

"No, nothing. Except the new kids from Japan kept looking at you like you were being displayed in a freak show. Other then that, nothing much." At Linden High, so called 'punks' were known for their quick wit, and good comebacks. Jackie's group was no exception.

Jackie and Holly met with three other kids by a locker that had the graffiti 'bimbo' on it. There was one girl and two boys, the girl had spiked hair, and both guys had pierced objects through various places of their faces.

"Hey Denny, Claire, egg head." Said Jackie as she approached them.

"I told you not to call me that." Said the one addressed as 'egg head'.

"We wouldn't if you didn't bleach your hair 2 weeks ago." Replied Holly.

"Look, I'm getting it back to normal soon O.K.?"

"Good, cuz some experiments just never work." Said Denny as the rest laughed. They found it amusing, ranking on their friend about his new hair.

"Only Jackie can pull off the new color hair thing, so don't even try to compete." Said Claire, the girl with short black spiked hair with pink highlights in it.

"Why thank you Claire, I try to make sure that I'm at the bottom of each trendy list I see in some gay prissy magazine whose cover story is 'how to pluck your eyebrows into perfection'." The group only laughed as all went their separate ways to their next burden of solitude and despair also known as 'second period'.

*~ with the YYH gang



"O.K., Koenma gave me a copy of Jackie's schedule so we can see who has her in their class at what time. Lets see... her next class will be... orchestra? Well who here can play an instrument?" Questioned Botan, still looking at the piece of paper in disbelief.

"I don't know who can play, but I do know that I'm having orchestra with her *gulp*." Said a stunned Kuwabara.

"But you can't play an instrument. What are you going to do?" Botan asked.

"Fake it like he does everything else." Answered Yusuke.

*~ outside the orchestra room



Kuwabara walked closer to the door which read 'orchestra room 501' as he heard many instruments playing different songs inside.

'Man, I'm gonna kill Koenma for this.' He thought as he entered the room and his jaw dropped.

'Look at all the pretty girls!' He thought to himself again.

'Maybe this won't suck after all.'

"Hello, and who are you?" Kuwabara's thoughts were startled by a short Latino woman with glasses on and a green dress and sweater.

"Uh, my name's Kuwabara." He replied.

"Oh, yes of course you are, of course you are. My name is Mrs. Ramirez." She said shoving him into a seat where some kids playing cellos were.

"Now, how long have you been playing the cello?" She asked him.

"Um."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry," she said hitting her hand against her head "you have been playing for five years, that is what the principal told me."

"Well who told the principal?" Kuwabara said in a worried tone.

"It does not matter, go and get a cello and some sheet music you would like to play. You are lucky that today is a free period where you can play anything you want, otherwise you would be completely lost."

"Yeah, I am lucky." He replied with a smile.

Kuwabara walked over to where the cellos were stored also looking for Jackie. She sat with a violin in her hand talking to a couple of people.

'So, she plays the violin.' Kuwabara looked at the cellos and basses that were stored in the room. He picked up a cello and walked out.

"Come on Jackie, play it as fast as you can." Kuwabara heard one girl say.

"Yeah, you play it, like, lightning fast."

"Fine, I'll play it." She responded. She flipped a couple of music pieces in her folder and got ready to play. When she started Kuwabara froze. As he listened he heard other people stop and listen too. It sounded classical to him, but of course he couldn't tell. He saw Jackie's fingers fly on the finger board as if they were light as feathers. When Jackie finished the piece, the orchestra room erupted in applause, including Kuwabara.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, sadly." She said getting some snickers from the violas.

"Wow, she's good." He said.

"Yeah, you should see her play fast songs." Someone behind Kuwabara said.

"You mean that wasn't a fast song?"

"Nope, that was the slowest one we have. She can play fast pieces, like, twice that fast.

Kuwabara's jaw dropped again. Then, he sat down ready to play. And lets just say, the way Kuwabara played it, I feel really sorry for the animals on Old McDonald's farm.

*~ later



The bell rang after everyone was packed up, and Jackie headed for math before Kuwabara could get one word in.

*~ math room 208



Yusuke was the first one in the classroom since his second period class was just across the hall.

'Math,' he thought, 'not my best subject.'

Jackie was the next one to walk into the classroom, Yusuke watched her as she sat down and got out some math things; her math book, a graphing calculator, a ruler, and a pencil.

"You one of the new students?" She asked not even raising her head to look at Yusuke.

"Yeah, shouldn't you know?" He wondered since they had the same first period together.

"If it weren't for an eight hour long marathon of 'Who's line is it anyway' that ended at 2 in the morning, maybe I would." She said, setting him back a little.

"You know that ugly red head that you came with?" She said, both of them thinking about Kuwabara.

"Yeah." He answered, not showing any amusement whatsoever.

"I kind of find it hard to believe that he's been playing the cello for five years, when he couldn't even play 'Old McDonald' in the right key." Yusuke began to laugh and more people walked in, including the teacher.

"Are you a new student?" He asked, sort of flustered, but in a happy way.

Yusuke nodded.

"Well, you can sit next to... Jackie for now." He said looking for his lesson plan. The bell rang.

"Shit." The teacher said under his breath.

"Uh, class? It seems that I forgot my lesson plan in Miss Granger's room, I'll be right back." And with that, he fled out of the room down the hall. The whole class began to cry out in laughter, besides Jackie and a couple of her friends.

"What was that all about?" Yusuke asked her.

"Mr. O and Miss Granger are having a 'secret' affair with each other." She answered him making a disgusted look on her face. "They don't hide it very well."

"That's nasty!" Yusuke said as Mr. O came back into the room with a file in his hands.

"Okay class, now that I am ready, lets start shall we?"

Jackie raised her hand with the biggest smirk you could make before it became a smile.

"Yes Jackie?" He asked.

"Where did those two lip stick stains on your shirt come from?" She said, holding in her laughter long enough so he could reply.

He looked down on his collar to see two red lip prints on it. His faced turned even more red than the lip stick and the classroom erupted in laughter again, including Jackie, her friends and Yusuke.

"Enough of that!" He said as Jackie high fived a boy behind her who had on an ACDC shirt.

"Lets continue with the class." Mr. O said while his color went from scarlet to the correct peach.

The class continued on with nothing exciting. Mr. O handed out their homework 10 minutes early so they could get a head start. Yusuke was stuck on question number 3 as he skipped numbers 1 and 2 deciding they were too hard. He glanced over and saw that Jackie was almost done.

"What?! How did you get that far?" He asked.

"Well, it's all pretty easy to me, I don't get it myself. Numbers just seem to come to me." She answered. She laughed a little as she saw Yusuke with nothing but his name and the date on his paper.

"Need some help?" She asked.

Yusuke didn't answer.

"I'll take that scowl you're giving me as a yes." So she started to help Yusuke with the first problem.

"Do you get it now?"

"No, but I'll just guess the rest of it." He said as the bell rang to tell that third period was over.

Yusuke and Jackie were walking out of math when one of Jackie's friends came up behind her.

"Hey Jackie, I've got a question for you." She said.

"Shoot."

"Are we going to go to the grocery store for Friday?" She asked while confusing Yusuke a little.

"Duh we are Sonya, we always pig out before a big game."

"Okay good, just checking. I don't want to look like a complete ass looking around the grocery store. Last time they thought I was stealing stuff." She waved and sped off.

"Grocery shopping? That sounds like fun." Yusuke said as he began to walk faster to keep up with Jackie's long stride for such a short person.

"Shut up. It's a thing me and my friends on the soccer team do."

"Oh? And what's that?"

"The night before a big game, we go to the grocery store after school and buy, like, ten pounds of junk food to eat before we go to sleep."

"Why?" Yusuke asked.

"Because, our coach always tells us to not eat any sweets within 24 hours of a game cuz then we'll be slow and stuff. And we eat all the sweet food we can to show him that that doesn't matter. Plus it tastes good."

"Oh, so why is this game so important?" He asked again.

"Cuz it's with our rivals, Seattle high."

"Oh." He said and nothing more.

"I gotta get to my next period, see ya Yusuke."

"See ya." Suddenly something began to ring inside Yusuke's pants. He reached into his pocket to reveal a communicator. He flipped it open.

"Hey Koenma, what do you want?" He asked the tiny toddler.

"I just wanted to say thank you." Koenma answered.

"For what?" Yusuke began to get irritated.

"For weakening Jackie's force field."

"What? When did I do that?" He wondered.

"Sometime during your math class, I don't exactly know, but I do know that Jackie is beginning to trust you."

"Cool." Yusuke answered, just now noticing that he was standing in the middle of a crowded hallway talking to what looked to be a compacted mirror. Some girls snickered at the sight. Yusuke smiled sheepishly and closed the communicator and put it back in his pocket.

*~ science room 310



As Jackie walked into her science class she noticed Botan sitting in the sit next to hers.

'Geez, these guys are popping up in all of my classes.' She thought to herself.

"Hello Jackie, how are you today?" Botan asked.

"Fine, your name is Botan right?" Jackie asked.

"Yes, how did you know that? You were asleep when I was introduced."

"My friend K.C. (remember him?) told me about you." Jackie answered.

"Oh really?" Botan blushed at what she had said.

"Yeah." Jackie sat down waiting for the class to start and end.

"Hello class." Said a tall man sitting behind a desk, he wore glasses and a suit.

"Hello Don." The whole class said.

"Why do you call him that?" Botan asked Jackie.

"Because he wants a close relationship with us, so he has us call him by his first name. Besides, his last name is Titmore." Jackie smirked at the name.

"Really?" Botan asked with her hand over her mouth and a gleam in her eye.

"Yep, but never call him by that name or he gets pissed." She said while looking to a boy in the back row who underwent some horrid things in the detention he got from Don when he found out his last name and announced it to the class.

"Can anyone tell me the planet with the warmest temperature?" A whole mess of hands flew up at the easy question.

"Gloria."

"Mercury, because it is the closest planet to the sun."

"Very good, today we will be calculating the density of a solution after evaporation."

"Why did he ask that question? It has nothing to do with density and what not." Whispered Botan to Jackie.

"Because he asks one question everyday that he thinks will stump us but never does, he's a really easy teacher, you're lucky you got him." She answered.

"Is there something that you would like to share with the class Miss Conover?" Don quickly interrupted.

"No, nothing at all Mr. Titm" Jackie was cut off with a glare from the teacher. "I mean Don. The class began to laugh. (There's a lot of laughing in this school huh?)

"Get into your groups and begin your lab." He said before looking down at his paperwork he was doing earlier.

Some students walked over to where Jackie and Botan were sitting to begin their lab.

"Jackie, can I be in your group? I don't know anyone very well yet." Botan asked, knowing that would give her a good chance to become friends with her.

"Sure Botan." She answered.

Botan turned her head to see three other people walking towards them, one of them being K.C. Botan's face lit up at the boy as he said hi.

"Hello there Botan." He said.

"Hello K.C." She responded.

"You two know each other?" Asked Holly as she and Denny sat down.

"Yeah, we saw each other before school started."

"Okay, Botan, since you already know him, lets introduce you to everyone else. This is Holly, though you probably remember her from first period, and this is Denny."

"Hi. Do you mind me asking where you got your hair done?" Botan wondered why Denny had asked that but remembered that blue hair was not natural in the human world.

"Uh..." Botan stuttered for a name before Jackie interrupted.

"Are you going gay on us Denny? Cuz what happened last year..."

"No! I thought her hair was cool that's all!" He said in defense of his manhood.

"Okay, okay! I was just kidding, you don't have to get all 'emotional' on it." Jackie said with an emphasis on emotional.

"I don't hear any chemicals blowing up over there." Said Don.

"I thought that was a good thing." Holly said.

"Yes, it is a good thing but I would like to hear moans of agony as you complete what you would call a 'bogus waste of time'." The five kids just laughed at that and continued on.

"So Botan, how long was the plane ride from Japan to Seattle?" Denny asked as he filled a beaker up with water.

"15 hours, it was completely boring." She replied.

"15 hours on your butt! That sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me." Said Holly.

"Yeah, well we had to watch Barney and Mr. Rogers because they couldn't find the movie."

The four just stared at her.

"We are so sorry that you had to go through that, and your friends too." Said K.C. still wide eyed.

-BOOM-

The class screamed and Jackie laughed.

"What was that?!" One girl asked.

"We're being attacked by terrorists!" Said another boy under his desk.

"Oops." Said Jackie in an innocent tone.

"Miss Conover! How could you have made an explosion when the only supplies that I gave you were water, a graduated cylinder, an electric balance and table salt!?" Don asked frustrated.

"I have my ways Don." She said as she was still laughing, as were her friends now.

*~ later in the period



"Group 4?"

"2.4 grams."

"Group 5?"

"2.3 grams."

And I'll just wait for group sixes results tomorrow."

Jackie and her friends laughed as the bell rang allowing them to go to lunch.

"Jackie, you're like friggen' MacGyver (spelling?)" Denny told her.

"That was awesome!" Holly said.

"I know. Hey Botan, what do you have next?" She asked.

"Lunch I believe."

"Good, you and however many of your friends that have fist lunch can sit with us. But you'll have to eat fast."

"Than you! But why do I have to eat fast?" Botan asked happy that she was becoming friends with her.

"You'll see." Was all Jackie said as everyone departed to put their backpacks in their lockers.



That was long... and boring! Sorry Kurama and Hiei weren't in this one, but they will be in the next one when it's lunch and the last three periods of this long, long day their having. JACKIE'S NOT A MARY-SUE!!!!! I just wanted to say that before people started to get ideas, and also you will see that there are some things that she can and cannot do so wait. And while you are waiting for the next crappy chappie that I'll put up

PLEASE REVIEW
