Your fist ached from that guy's hard head, and so you went to the nurse to put some ice on it. You saw the guy there, and he backed up with wide eyes when you passed him. With a victorious smile, you got the ice and went back to class.

Your friend Thu was spazzing out that you actually punched someone. "Oh my god, are you serious?! You punched that guy?! That is awesome! Where'd you get the courage?! You've never had that much courage! You know you're going to get a referral for this right? Oh but that is so cool! You're first referral, how does it feel? You know my first refer--"

"Thu, chill. I'm not going to get a referral, because that guy is too scared shitless to tell anyone. So bug off. I'm trying to label this map. You should be doing the same. Kay?" You returned to labeling the map.

Thu was silent for a minute, but then started up again. You glared at her, and she actually stopped talking. There was this look on her face, of pure fear. Kind of like... kind of like the looks that people used to give Gaara.

You asked to use the bathroom, and made the same glare in the mirror. Your eyebrows shot up. You never knew you could be that intimidating. "What am I turning into?" you whispered.

When you returned to the classroom, you asked to go to the clinic again. You practically lived there nowadays. Thu escorted you, and you called Kioko's mom at work and asked her to check you out. She OK'd it and said she's on her way.

Once you were back in class, Mrs. Barr told you to put your head down, so you did. Kioko's mom didn't get there until the end of 5th period, but she checked Kioko out along with you, just so she could be fair.

"Yosh, what's wrong? Are you feeling okay?" She put her hand on your forehead. "You don't have a fever... What's wrong honey?" You shook your head.

"I don't know. My stomach just hurts and I have a headache is all." You said and smiled to show you were okay.

"Well, you had better be better by tonight." Kioko stated from the back of the car.

"Why?" You asked.

"Becaaaaause, tonight I'm having a big sleep over. Don't you remember? Angel's going to be there, Thu's going to be there, Alex is going to be there, and last but not least, Cheryl's going to be there."

"Oh. Well, I just need to rest for a bit, and I'll be okay." You smiled again to reassure her.


The short two hour nap you took didn't help you any at all. Your dreams were full of Gaara, and that boy. Thankfully, the loud banging of Kioko's fist against your door interrupted the disturbing dreams.

She had awoken you to inform you that everyone was there. After properly greeting everyone, you sat on the couch and watched them as they chattered away. You even laughed a little. Before you knew it, you were talking and joking around, too.

A few hours later, Angel decided to play a game.

"Okay. We're going to play a game. It's called 'Find Your Friend'."

"How do you play?" Cheryl interrupted.

"I'm getting to that. First, we roll a die, and whoever gets the highest number, is the seeker, and whoever gets the lowest number, is the seekee. Got it?" We all agreed and rolled the die.

You ended up the seeker, and Kioko was the seekee. They put a blindfold on you, and told Kioko to find a place to hide while they spun you around. Once you were completely dizzy, they let you go. After a few jumping walls and sliding vacuums, you regained your balance.

You could hear giggling, and then a knocking. The giggling was definitely Kioko, and the knocking was them trying to get you to go the other way. You didn't, and the giggling suddenly stopped. You knew you were close, so you reached out, and felt a body. It had to be Kioko.

You backed up a bit, and after a moment's waiting (for dramatic effect), pounced. A grunt was heard under you as you both hit the floor. Ripping off your blindfold you shouted, "I FOUND YA--" Well, you were going to scream, 'I found ya, bitch!' but you hadn't found her. The person under you wasn't your best friend.

It was Gaara.
