BRIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell rang for lunch. Already a crowd of guys and a few girls were at Danni's table. Not that I'm jealous. How shallow is that? Was shocked to see Princess among the crowd, for once wth her eyes NOT on Butch Jojo. I think she was half annoyed and half amused. Like I probably was.

I noticed Boomer looming at the back. Skinny and kind of small for a guy. Suddenly, I jumped as Butch yelled "AW YEAH!". Curiosity got the best of me as I walked toward them.

I managed to stay calm and maybe cool for a girl who walked in crying earlier. "Hi. Whatcha guys doin?" I grinned.

"Paper games." Danni looked at me.

"Oh. Ummm. What kind?" I said, uncertain. Surely all these kids aren't here for some immature paper game or something. No offense, it just seems kind of… old school?

"War." She stared at me with her fiery red eyes. Ummm, yes, creepy.

"Okay." I couldn't really make sense of why people were yelling out random attacks and all those doodles, but it looked pretty fun for them. And I didn't really get why three superhuman were standing there yelling attacks as well. I mean, Buttercup, Boomer and Butch all know what it's like in real life. War, I mean.

Eventually I got bored feeling out of place so I went back to my seat. I got out my notebook and tried to think of something to draw. I doodled some bunnies and flowers and rainbows and kittens. Yeah, I know, super immature, but I just like looking at my doodles. Besides, I can't think of anything to draw anyway.

A quick tap on my shoulder jolted me back to reality and I jumped again.

"Haha. Sorry for, ummm, shocking you." Boomer said, smiling slightly.

"No big deal." I grinned.

"Cool drawings." He sat down next to me.

"Pfft. It's nothing." And really, it is. I get an urge to impress him but I push it away. I went back to doodling, aware of his deep blue eyes gazing intensely on my work.

I was kind of glad, or maybe sad, when lunch ended. I really can't tell. As it was like, the first day of school, we had blah-blah-blah orientation. So, yeah, basically free time.

"Psssst. Hey. Bubbles." Nikki, Buttercup's best friend, beckoned me over to join her, Danni and Princess. An odd group of girls, the new creepy-ish girl, the tomboyish girl and the girly-girl Ms Priss (short for pristine).

"Ummm. Hi?" I said.

"Join us, Bubbles. We're playing this awesome game by Nikki and Danni. Of course I helped too. GNO or Girl's night Out." Princess says grinning. That's a shock.

"What?" Turns out, GNO is like some simulation game on paper. With fashion and fights and stuff. So, yeah, like a virtual life. Kind of lame but fun. Ultimate girl stuff.

"I had a feeling you'd like it." Danni said.

I paused. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, no offense girl, but you strike me as a girly-girl lie Princess over here." She motioned to a wide eyed redhead.

"Hey!" Princess and I protested. "You struck me as a creepy stuck-up tomboy."

Danni blinked. Then she laughed. Long and loud. Yeah, still kind of creepy. "Friends?"

"Sure." I grinned.
