Almost Cinderella

A massive shout out to: sky d, fruit salad2, darkxXxflames, and TsukiKishuko for reviewing! Yay! It's another Chapter! I know, the last chapter was short (don't hurt me for it!) ... but hopefully this chapter will make up for it! Thank you for all your reviews!

I'm sorry to all the Tala fans... I'm not particularly used to writing about Tala, so I won't put him in here.

Enjoy!

Chapter Three

English, Period 1

"I want to know your opinions on Romeo and Juliet."

Hilary's arm shot into the air. "I think it's the sweetest thing in the world. The fact they love each other so much that they're willing to kill themselves, is just so romantic!"

Nearly all the girls nodded, some even sighed. Misha bit her lip. She raised her hand. The teacher nodded her approval.

"I think they're just silly. I mean, it's more likely they committed suicide because they were drowning in their own lust. They meet one night, and they propose they get married on the same night, they get married the next day, and then they die the night after."

"But that shows how much they love each other!" Hilary protested.

"No, it shows us how irrational and young they were. Bear in mind Juliet wasn't even 14. And that they're in love with love."

A squabble broke out, girls had their voices raised.

"Okay okay, that's enough girls." the teacher said, "Now, copy these notes down."

Now, at this time, our Cinderella is getting familiar with her new school, only to find that Hilary is in almost all her classes. The three guys she had encountered earlier were also in most of her classes. She had now discovered their names, Kai, Ray and Tyson. Problem was she didn't know which one was which.

After class, as Misha was going to her locker, someone tapped her shoulder. It was the navy haired guy from earlier.

"Hey, you dropped this." He held out his hand. It was a silver charm bracelet.

"My bracelet…" she turned it over."It must have fallen off… oh… it's broken." She whispered the last part. Misha gave a long sigh. "Thanks, if you hadn't picked it up, I don't know what could have happened to it."

"Aw shucks, nah, its okay. I'm Tyson Granger by the way."

"Misha Yeun."

Periods 2 and 3 sailed by, but Cinderella's attention was focused on her bracelet. The clasp was indeed broken, and looked as if damaged beyond repair. The lunch bell rang, and stowing the bracelet safely in her pocket, she headed for lunch. Her real test, where was she going to sit?

"Hey! Misha!"

Misha whipped around; it was Tyson. He was waving his arm excitedly in the air.

"Over here!"

As she walked toward Tyson, a sense of dread filled her heart. It was Hilary. She was sitting next to the slate haired guy. The cat boy was with him too. A pink haired girl was sitting next to the cat boy, feeding him.

She set her lunch tray slowly down next to Tyson's.

"Misha, this is Hilary, Kai," he pointed at the slate haired guy. "Ray and Mariah." Indicating the Neko-jins.

Hilary made no attempt to greet Misha. An awkward silence fell over the group. Even Mariah had stopped feeding Ray.

"I'm having a party for my 18th. It's a pool party." Kai said, breaking the silence.

"YEAH! A PARTY!!!" Tyson pumped his fist into the air.

Misha looked awkwardly to one side. While the others were happily eating lunch, now knowing that Kai was holding a party, Misha couldn't help but feel a sense of oddness.

When she looked back up, she made contact with brilliant violet eyes.

"You can come too, if you want."

At the end of the day, when Misha got 'home', Hilary grabbed her arm and dragged her back outside again.

"Ow! What?"

"Are you going to Kai's party?" Hilary demanded, the tone of her voice, dangerous and hasty.

"I don't know, maybe." Misha said, staring straight into Hilary's ruby eyes.

"Well you'd better not…" Hilary was clearly struggling for words, "Try to steal him away."

Misha looked at Hilary as if she was an alien, and then started laughing. "Look, I admit, he's hot, okay?"

"A HA! I KNEW YOU WERE TRYING TO STEAL HIM AWAY!"

"You're not his girlfriend! He doesn't belong to you! He's not a toy! And I'm not interested in him in that way!"

"Yeah right." Out of arguments, Hilary stomped back inside.

Misha opened the door to her 'room'. Actually, it was more of an attic. The walls were bare; no mellow yellow wallpaper, no precious pink paint. It gave the room a more 'homey' feel to it. She dropped her backpack right beside the door and flung herself onto the bed. She started to think. How good would it be, if there were fairies and magic? Maybe Magic could solve all of the worlds problems? The sound of an alarm shattered her thoughts. It was time to work.

By the way, I was wondering which couple you like the best. I'm trying my hardest to favour them both, but I always end up Hilary bashing... (Sorry to all the HilaryKai fans).

Please Review! More Constructive Criticism! I will write better if you tell me!
