"What do you want, Yumi?"

"Now why do you think that I want something? Can't a girl just come over and say hi to one of her friends, " said Yumi in a bogus attempt at sounding hurt.

Making a very un lady-like grunt, I look at her disbelievingly.

"Fine then, but I was only trying to be the bigger person and bury the hatchet to this silly little rivalry," said Yumi sounding almost civilized.

"Yeah when pigs fly," was my sarcastic remark.

"Or when you do!" said Yumi pushing the ladder that I was on, sending it tittering.

That son of a-excuse my language- BITCH! All that just so she could have some lame ass attempt at hurting me!

For a split second it looked as if I was going to keep all my bones intact, letting out a sigh of relief I look down to see Yumi looking up at me, getting ready to give it one final little push to send it toppling over, along with me.

If there was any shred of kindness in that cold hearted bitch, this was the time for it to shine; I didn't even notice that I had been holding my breath, until…

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Oh frickin' crap this was it I was goin' to die…ok so maybe I wasn't goin' to die but I was most likely going to break some bones; waiting to hit the ground, I shut my eyes, bracing for impact.

Hitting what I thought was the ground, it didn't hurt as bad as I thought. In fact it didn't hurt at all, it actually felt…nice and secure.

That couldn't be right, opening my eyes I found myself looking into the most amazing amethyst eyes I had ever seen.

Ch 2

' Oh My God I landed on someone!' was the first thought that ran through my mind, along with, ' Holy freaking crap! '

Being the moron that I am, I can't even form a sentence, luckily Misao's voice finally penetrates my head. Tearing my eyes off of his amethyst ones, he sets me down as Misao finally reaches us.

"Oh my God, Kaoru are you okay?" asked a utterly terrified Misao.

"Yeah…"

"That fuckin' bitch! What the hell! That was totally…uh I can't believe,…oh my gosh I can't even form a sentence," exclaimed Misao running a hand through her hair, completely ignoring what I said. "I mean what kind of person does that? She could have seriously hurt you! I'll tell you one thing she is not getting away with this!"

"Are you done?"

"What do you mean am I done," asked Misao looking at me as if I was crazy.

"Misao, I'm just trying to tell you I'm fine."

Circling me, Misao gives me the twice over with scrutinizing eyes, before heaving a sigh and says, " I guess you're right, I mean you didn't hit the ground."

" Oh my gosh that right, I hit you!" I said whirling to the guy, " I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to…"

Hearing Misao laugh, I turn to look at her bewildered.

"You find this funny!"

" Yeah. Kaoru, you didn't land on him... he caught you," giggled Misao.

"Oh," was my intellectual reply, oh. OH! Man I am such a dork… " Well then I guess I should be saying thanks."

Giving me a wave of his hand he says, " Don't mention it."

Ok, I'm all for modesty and chivalry and what not but seriously who goes around saving a girl from a disaster like that and says don't mention it, seriously?…Who goes around saving a girl he doesn't even know any way?

Giving him a puzzling look, he chuckled and said, " I heard you scream and I wasn't just going to let you fall."

Smiling, I finally noticed his overall appearance. He was wearing a pair of black DC shoes, a black wrist band on one hand along with two studded bracelets, a studded belt looped through a pair of faded blue jeans that still hung low enough to see the rim of his red boxers, and a gray Led Zeppelin shirt with the letters in white that clung to his every curve, showing off his well toned body. (drool) And his hair which was a blazing red, was tied loosely at the nape of his neck, framing his slightly tan face.

He was a skater as far as I could tell…funny though, I hadn't seen him around when we were in high school, but I do think I heard of him; most of the girls, good and bad, were crazy about some guy with fiery red hair.

" Well…um I guess I'll see ya around," he said snapping me out of my own little world.

" Yeah, and thanks again."

He then turned and walked away to group of guys, one of them I noticed was a guy that I had gotten to know the last four years as Sanosuke Sagara, Sano for short, a skater for sure; I couldn't really call him a friend but more of a hi hello sort of friend, with the occasional talks if we had the same class.

Looking away, I focused my attention on Misao, who was smirking at me.

" What?"

" Don't act like I didn't see that. I saw you," said Misao with that same smirk on her face.

" Saw what?" I said totally confused.

" Ok yea whatever. don't play dumb with me missy," said Misao starting to walk towards her green Jetta.

"I'm lost, what are you talking about," I asked falling into step with her.

" Kaoru, please tell me your not that dense," said Misao rummaging through her purse to find her car keys.

"…"

" I stand corrected…I was talking about you and that skater guy, and how you like him," said Misao finally finding her keys.

" What? I don't even know him," I laughed.

" True…but you wanna get to know him," said Misao unlocking her doors. " I saw you checking him out."

" Oh no, not this again."

"What? You clearly liked him. What's so bad about that, is it cause he's a skater," asked Misao pulling out of the parking lot. "Don't tell me you've gone to the dark side?…Oh my gosh hell just froze over!"

" Very funny Misao," I said giving her a slight push. " I have not gone to the dark side."

" Then why wont you admit that you like him," asked Misao looking at me from the corner of her eye.

" Because I don't like him…and not cause he's a skater."

Letting out a sigh of disappointment, she dropped it; I couldn't help but feel a little bad, cause I know all Misao wants is for me to be happy. And how can I be happy? Well according to her I need myself a man.

She has this crazy notion that I have never had a boyfriend, therefore, have never been on a date. So ok I've never had a boyfriend per say but I have gone on a date or two.

I know right, how could anyone go through high school without a boyfriend or even "friends with benefits," let alone Ms. Popularity? Simple I don't need some guy, I am perfectly content being single; I'm also not so into the whole dating scene thing either. I do like guys but I guess I just haven't found that right guy yet…
