Chapter 3

Rivals, Friends, and Linda

Slash had to go to the office to get his schedule. His first class, was gym, next, math, science, social studies, and last was lunch. Odd schedule, but it worked with him. Slash then got to gym. Slash saw Jam in his class. Before he was going to walk over, he got kicked. Slash growled but didn't see the kid who kicked him. He just shrugged it off. He walked up to Jam. He laughed to himself seeing his back, he then said "Hey Jam!"

Jam jumped at the sound of Slash, he then turned around and smiled friendly, "Hey dude! What's up?"

Slash shrugged, "Nothing much, but people have been kicking me for a while"

Jam then had a confused look, "Yeah, me too."

"Hey Jam!" A piercing voice entered the air. "So Jam, who's your two new friends?" Behind Jam appeared a girl with a pointed nose and long brown hair called over to Jam.

Jam turned around and got more confused. "Two new friends?"

"Yeah," The girl said, "The friend on your back!" Linda then began laughing, kicking Jam in the butt.

Jam then found the sign on his back. It said 'Kick Me' "What the? Who put this here!?!" Slash then looked on his back, who put that there indeed! But Slash just forgot it as soon as he remembered the girl. "Hey Jam! Who's the girl?" Slash asked Jam.

Jam took off the sign and replied quietly. "That's Linda, a snobby rich girl who thinks she can do anything she wants!" Slash saw the girl, she didn't seem too bad. Maybe he can become friends. Slash then took the risk ignoring Jam and walked up to Linda. "Hi! My name is Slash! I'm new student! Would you like to be friends?"

Linda rolled her eyes. "Why would why I want to hang with a low life like you?"

Slash then growled at her. "Excuse me? At least I don't have a pencil nose!' The kids around the two started to laugh so loud. Including Jam who was on the floor laughing losing his breath. Linda just blinked, stunned. "Are you even sure that's a nose? Hey! Can I borrow that pencil when you're done? I forgot mine at home!" Everyone was now on the floor. Except the teacher who just entered the room. "What's all the fuss about?"

Linda now glared at Slash. She took her hand, made it into a fist, and Slash screamed in pain next.

------------

Next class period, Slash got an ice pack, and said bye to Jam and ran from Linda as fast as possible. Math was next, Slash saw on his schdeule. He quickly got to the room where math was and took a seat.

5 minutes later, the teacher banged the desk with her ruler to stop all classroom noise. She then began to speak when it died down. "Class! Today! We have a new student! Please stand up new student!" Slash stood up in front of the class. Everyone was just looking at him odd. "This is Slash Kamei! Why won't you tell us about yourself Slash?"

Slash just stood there for what seemed like 5 years to him untill he spoke. "Well, I'm a boy," The class laughed at this comment, the teacher even giggled. Slash smiled, then continued, "I like basketball, I am really atheletic, I am new here, and my best friend would be, Jam who I just met today." Slash noticed a boy and girl in the back who flinched at this. One was wearing a green jacket, green beanie and green sweat pants. Slash's first initial thought was, 'BOY! HE'S FAT!!!' Then the girl caught his attention, she was wearing pink bunny airs with pink overalls and a blue shirt underneath the overalls. She also had a heart on her cheek. She then noticed Slash was looking at her then blushed. Slash quickly looked the other way, no seemed to notice this.

"Thank you," The teacher said. She then asked, "What is your name?"

"Slash Kamei." He said. The teacher dismissed him into a seat up front. Slash took his seat and began to pay attention.

The next classes all went the same way, but no one interested him in those classes. Then finnally, lunch came. Slash looked around for Jam, he then saw him waving him over to his table. Slash then ran over there seeing the fat boy, Linda, Jam, and the bunny girl. Slash gulped as he saw Linda, but she was just looking out the window. Jam smiled as Slash sat down. "So dude, wanna hang out after school on the slopes?" Slash was taken back, slopes?

"Ummm, I don't ski," Slash replied.

"Not sking! Snowboarding!" Jam said punching him on the shoulder.

OH no! Even worse! "I sorta, don't, snowboard."

Everyone at the table, and people who overheard stopped doing what they were doing. Jam then inched over to Slash and said, "You gotta try it man!"

"I don't know..." Slash scratched his head.

"Of course he won't snowboard! He's too much of a wuss!" A voice broke the silence. Slash already knew who it was. Linda snickered at Slash. Slash smiled mischeivously. "Is that so little girl?" Slash smiled, "I bet you can't snowboard!" Big mistake. Linda laughed hard, so did some other girls around her. "Then why don't we race? Since we are both equally matched." Before Jam could warn him, Slash quickly accepted. The green kid, the bunny girl, and Jam all sighed, what a big mistake.
