Okay so the waking up part is not the worst, but it's the traveling part I hate. This is my first day in public school, and I'm not really thrilled. But up to now it hasn't been too bad, well that's to be expected, I'm only on the buss. I know most of the kids on it, mostly because they all live close to my place or at least on the same street. So here I am sitting on the school buss, for what has been approximately an hour; man I can't wait to get to school.

Normal POV

The buss finally gets to the school and stopped in front of the gates. Ray got off last, and walked over to the gates, where Brian had told him yesterday. He leaned on the post and started looking around.

The school grounds were nice and big. At the far end, opposite of Ray, was what seemed as a jungle-gym, swings, slides and a whole other assortments of games. To the left of that was a baseball diamond. And there were many other games closer to where Ray was, thought on the cement, like hopscotch, and basketball hoops. The grass was a beautiful green and there were threes from place to place. To Ray's left was the huge school. Ray felt extremely small compared to it. And in front of the school, to Ray's amazement, were two rows of huge cherry blossom threes.

Ray was taken out of his viewing, when he felt two arms circle his waist. Ray jumped out of the arms reach and turned to see who it was.

"Whoa, sorry there, didn't mean to scare ya." Yurri said raising his arms in defense.

"Oh sorry. You just really scared me." Ray said relaxing.

"You'll have to get use to it with him around." Came a familiar voice.

Turning towards the voice, Ray spotted Kai and Brian walking over. "Hey."

"Hey, so not getting annoyed or anything?" Kai asked with a smirk.

"No, unless you count Yurri." Ray said smiling innocently.

"Hey, I take it as an offence." Yurri pouted.

"Sorry Love, but truth hurts." Kais said kissing Yurri on the lips.

Ray looked at them surprised but said nothing. Brian noticed and tapped Kai on the shoulder, motioning, with his head, Ray.

"Oh sorry." Kai pulled away from Yurri.

"Oh it's okay. It just surprised me a little." Ray smiled reassuringly. "How long have you two been together?"

"About two years." Yurri answered, wrapping an arm around Kai's waist.

Ray smiled. "Who's the dominant one?"

Both Kai and Yurri blushed, and Brian let out a chuckle. Ray smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"No it's not that. It's just that not very many ask us that." Kai said getting over his blush.

"Sorry, I was just curious. You don't have to answer." Ray said looking down.

"Kai's dominant." Brian answered, which got him a punch in the shoulder by Kai.

"Hey!" Yurri said blushing even more.

"What? He wanted to know." Brian said shrugging.

"So, we would have told him. Eventually." Kai said glaring at Brian.

Ray chuckled a little. "I could pretend to never hearing it."

"Nah. It's okay. So yes, I'm the dominant one." Kai leaned in closer to Ray's ear. "And Yurri is a screamer."

Ray chuckled, as he glanced over at Yurri. Just then the school bell rang.

"Come on, can't make you late on your first day." Yurri said slinging an arm over Ray's shoulder.

"Hey you hitting on me?" Ray looked over at Yurri.

Yurri pulled his arm away and clung to Kai. "No."

Ray, Kai and Brian burst out laughing. The four got to class just as the bell rang. Kai, Yurri and Brian went to there usual seat. Brian motioned the seat next to him and told Ray to sit down.

"Isn't this some one seat?"

"Nope, everyone is too scared of Bri to sit near him." Kai said leaning back on his chair.

"Oh. But he's so nice." Ray smiled."

"Don't spread it around." Brian said glaring at some guy who turned around.

"Don't worry I wont." Ray smiled as the teacher came in.

"Class I'd like you all to welcome our new student. Please come to the front and introduce yourself." The teacher sat down at her desk.

Ray stood up and went up to the front. "Well most of you should recognize me from yesterday, when you visited the ranch."

"You're the guy who did the show!" A girl shrieked.

Ray winced a little from the pitch of the girls yell. Being park cat had its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

"Ya it was me. My name is Kon, Ray. Eh, Ray Kon sorry." Ray bowed and went back to his seat.

"Okay now on with class." The teacher then started her class.

"Well you're going to be famous, and popular around here." Yurri said looking around.

Every girl in the class were looking at him with hearts in there eyes. Ray unconsciously backed away.

"Man there scary." Ray said turning his back to them and facing Brian and Kai, Yurri being seated in front of him.

"Don't worry; we'll keep them out of your hair." Kai said sending a glare, which effectively made them all turn away.

"Thanks." Ray sighed.

"Well you're really going to have to be careful; you're going to have a lot of admirers." Yuri stated.

Ray slumped in his chair. "Just what I needed."

The rest of the class went on uneventful. Kai, Yurri, Brian, and Ray talked the whole way threw the class. Surprisingly, Kai, Yurri and Brian were all the tops of there classes, they all got 100, in everything. As for Ray, well he was just ahead of everyone. What they were learning now he had already aced with his private teacher and the things they were going to learn afterwards was the same thing. When the bell rang the students filed out, Kai, Yurri, Brian and Ray were the last to leave.

"Man I'm sorry to say, but public schools are slow." Ray said as they walked down the hall.

"Ya well in public schools there are people of every level. Some who take for eternity to understand something, and others who learn thing the first time around, like us three." Yurri said as he walked backwards.

"Ya I can see that." Ray said as they stopped in front of their lockers.

"We can't really put you anywhere, 'cause hey, we haven't, see your intelligence yet." Yurri teased, which got him a good punch on the shoulder from Ray.

"Just so you know smart ass, I've already learned the stuff." Ray put his books in his locker and took out the ones he needed for this class. "Great I have Math."

"Well Kai and I have gym, but I think Bri has math too." Yurri said looking at Brian.

Brian nodded his head. "Come on let's go before the teacher blows a gasket for our tardiness."

Ray nodded and the four separated. Brian and Ray got to the class just as the bell rung.

The two sat in the back and talked most of the class.

"Man you guys are further behind then I thought." Ray said.

"Ya I know. Usually the teacher gives me more advanced work, but it's just as easy." Brian said leaning back in his chair.

The class went on uneventful. By the time they knew it, it was already lunch. The four joined up at the lockers.

"So in or out?" Yurri asked.

"Out." Kai and Brian said simultaneously.

Ray just looked at the three, as he put his books away. "I'll just pretend I know what you're talking about."

Yurri chuckled. "I was just asking if they wanted to eat inside or outside. Which one do you want?"

"I'll go with them, outside." Ray said, shutting his locker.

"Outside it is!" Yurri said as he headed towards the cafe.

"Should we tell him it's the other way?" Ray asked.

Brian and Kai shook their heads and headed the opposite way of Yurri. The three went outside and sat under one of the biggest trees.

"At least I get to spend time outside. I don't know how you guys manage to stay cooped up all day." Ray said lying on his back under the sun.

"Well unlike you we haven't spent all our lives out side, so we're a little more indorse." Kai said looking over at Ray. Kai looked over at the school and sighed. "I think I'll go get Yurri." Kai got up and headed out to find Yurri.

Ray watched Kai go. "Those two make a great couple." Ray then turned to Brian. "Eh…if it isn't too impolite, do you have a girlfriend?"

Brian looked up at Ray, and shook his head. "Nope and don't intend on having one. Girls are way too whinny."

Ray chuckled and nodded his head. "I agree with you on that one." Ray then looked a little more serious, but he was still smiling. "So, like Kai and Yurri, you're gay?"

"Ya. I hope you won't bee too uncomfortable around us, now." Brian asked.

Ray shook his head. "Don't worry; I've fallen in with the right crowd." Ray smiled.

Brian looked at Ray a little funny not really understanding. Then he noticed Ray looking over at the soccer field where a group of boys were playing. He also noticed that he wasn't looking at them play, but looking at THEM. 'Well I guess he's gay as well. I think I might just get a chance after all.'

It was silent for a while, Ray watching the boys play soccer and Brian watching Ray watch the boys play soccer. There staring was interrupted when Ray was tackled.

"There you are! I've been looking all over the place for you. I never thought you were that hard to find, but ya I guess you were always good a hide and seek, well whenever you played with Lee, Gary and Kevin, but you were always easy to find when I played…."

"STOP!" Ray shouted cutting the person off. "Thank you. Now could you please get off of me, Kacy."

The person, Kacy, got off of Ray and sat down next to him. Ray sat up and dusted himself off a little.

"What are you doing here?" Ray questioned.

"Well I came to see you silly." Kacy said leaving against Ray.

Brian was looking at the two with a raised eyebrow. 'Okay I take it back, he isn't gay.'

"Kacy push off. You know I hate it when you do that." Ray said moving over a little.

"I'm sorry, but I've really missed you." Kacy said moving closer to Ray.

"Kacy! What have I told you about peoples personal space?" a male voice asked.

"Arms length." Kacy moved further away.

Brian and Ray looked up to find a girl with bright pink hair, also dressed from head to toe in pink, standing next to a man, with long wild black hair, his arms crossed with a small scowl on his face, his eyes fixed on Kacy.

"Lee!" Ray said excitedly and jumping up and hugging the male, the moving to the female. "Mao. Hi you two."

Brian was totally lost. "Err…"

Ray looked down and blushed. "Sorry about that. Brian this is my brother, Lee, his wife, Mao, and my niece, Kacy. Everyone this is Brian, a really good friend of mine."

"Good? Don't you usually exaggerate?" Lee teased.

"Hey! I've known him for two days gi'me a break!" Ray pouted.

"Doesn't he just look adorable like that?" Lee asked looking at Brian.

Brian smirked. "I can't lie; he is the most adorable thing I've ever seen."

Ray went bright red, and looked away.

"Okay that's enough you two, poor boy; you've just embarrassed him." Mao said slapping Lee on the back.

Ray moved over and hugged Mao. "Thank you. You're the only women I love." Ray pretended to cry.

"As much as I love you, I'm already taken." Mao chuckled as she hugged Ray.

The two started laughing. Brian just looked at them.

'Okay Ray and his family are really close. And His brother is pretty cool.' Brian thought just as he spotted Kai and Yurri. "About time you two came back."

"Sorry. Yurri was a little needy." Kai said, as he and Yurri joined the group.

"Who are they?" Yurri asked pointing at the three new comers.

"Oh. That is my brother, Lee, his wife, Mao, and my niece, Kacy." Ray said.

"Do I here and echo?" Lee teased again.

"Shut up." Ray said punching Lee.

"Ahh, shit! What have you been eating! I don't remember you hitting so hard." Lee said rubbing the spot Ray had hit.

"Duno. Are you sure you're not just getting out of shape?" Ray chuckled as he sat down next to Brian.

Lee, Mao, Kai and Yurri soon followed his example.

"So, Ray. Have you…" Mao started.

"Don't! And no, but I'm inclined to one." Ray said, a small blush forming on his cheeks.

"Yay!" Mao yelled scaring everyone, except Ray. "It's about time! You're going to tell me who, right?"

"Yes, but not here." Ray said starting to get more and more red.

"Aww, I can't weight." Mao said with stars in her eyes and her hands clasped together in front of her.

Every one moved away from her.

"Okay. She really freaks me out when she does that." Lee commented.

"Ya, lucky for me, I don't live with her." Ray said now a lot closer to Brian then he had wanted.

Brian didn't move, he didn't even dare to breath, afraid that if he did Ray would notice the position and move away. Kai and Yurri had noticed, and they both had a smirk on, the same thought going threw there minds. Match Making Time! After a little while Ray did notice the position and when bright red and moved away, mumbling an apology. This got Kai and Yurri's smirk to deepen. Mao also saw.

"OH my God!" Mao yelled smiling from ear to ear.

This startled everyone. Just as Lee was about to ask what it was the bell rang.

"I guess I'll see you back at home." Ray said getting up with every one else.

"Ya, and hurry home, I've got a surprise for ya." Lee said, smirking.

"With the look you have, I don't now if I WANT to come home." Rays said a little scared.

"Damit! I have to stop smirking. Any ways see ya tonight." Lee kept smirking.

"Err…guys can I stay over at one of you guises places tonight?" Ray said as they started heading to the school.

"Why?" Yurri asked.

"Well knowing my brother, I don't want to go home; what ever he has planed will hurt, be humiliating, or kill me." Ray said looking back at his bother that was waving good bye, and smirking.

"Well you could stay at Brian's. His folks are out of town, so no need to ask for permission. For me my grandfather would never agree and well Yurri, let's just say you don't want to go there." Kai said.

"And why wouldn't he?" Yurri asked.

"Have you seen your house?" Kai asked.

"Oh that." Yurri blushed.

Ray looked from Kai to Yurri to Brian them back to Kai. "I don't even want to know." Then he turned to Brian. "Can I?"

'Well it would be a great way to get to know him more.' "Sure. Beats being alone."

Ray beamed. 'Awesome! I get to be alone with him. I'll be able to get to know him more.'
