YAY! I've started writing. Sorry for the slower updates, school is murdering my creativity. D: I decided to take all these AP classes and all though the stuff they're teaching isn't hard the amount of homework it terrible… and scary. Oh, and I'm sorry if I made it seem like she was moving from inside Japan. She's lived there before, but she moved from America. And last thing, when she talks and it's in italic, it's just because she's talking in english. So yeah. Anywho, you want to read, so on with the story. XD

"I can't believe he left!" I muttered angrily to myself.
I was stalking down to the bus stop and I'd decided to change my clothes. Screw that, I was not going to wear a miniskirt. Or the stupid shirt for that matter. My boobs were falling out and the miniskirt was riding up. So screw that. I decided to get ready really fast then I went out and found the guys uniform. It'll leave an interesting first impression anyway. Although, I had to get a large jacket, I was having a rather hard time fitting it over my… chest area. Yeah.
"Stupid, dumb, idiot, butt-face…" I rambled obscenities to myself and arrived at the bus-stop. No one else was there and I frowned, pulling out my cell-phone. My eyes widened at the time. "Crap!"
I sprinted down the street towards my new school. Lucky for me I've already been there once before, where I met the friends I then DITCHED the next day. God, it wasn't even my fault!
'Oh yeah make up excuses.' Jewels snorted. I made a face. 'And don't you have ATs. I mean, like, really?'
My face flushed when I realized she was right.
'Shut up! I knew that!' I yelled back indigently. 'But I still feel bad, it's not like I forgot… I just… wasn't feeling good.'
'Why are you explaining this to me? I already know that. We were throwing up if you forgot.'
We both remembered, oh yeah trust me, we remembered. I looked down at the ground, nauseous at thought.
'It's this way right?' I inquired.
Jewels had a far better sense of direction then I did.
'Yup, then you turn right up here and we should be there.' She answered.
'Since I have nothing better to do, I'm going to ask you questions.' I said suddenly, coasting down the road easily.
'Okay, shoot, but don't blame me if I don't answer.' She said, smirking at my pout.
'Meaner. Okay, question one. Does it make me crazy to have you in my head?'
'That's self-explanatory, of course it does. But I'm also biased seeing as I am, in essence, you.' She answered.
I snorted out a laugh.
'Thanks for making me feel so much better.'
'Any time.'
000000000
'You know, somehow this school looks so much bigger from the front.' I stated, looking up at Higachuu Middle.
'I'm going to have to agree with you. But it might because you're the new kid.' She said, smirking at the annoyance on my face.
'Oh really, thanks for giving me some courage butt-face.' I growled at her. 'I really think you're starting to enjoy this.'
'I never claimed that I didn't.' She answered.
'You're an ass; I hope you know that.'
'I've been told.'
I snorted and decided to ignore her. I was going to be late if I didn't hurry up and go inside.
As I slid through the doors of Higachuu I could feel the stares at my questionable choice of attire, but chose to ignore it. This would make a stunning first impression. Gotta love being the new kid when it's we're already halfway through the school year. I stopped skipping, putting my wheels away, and slowed down to a walk as the office came into view. With a furtive look around, I slid into the door to get my new schedule.
"H-hello." I stuttered to the woman sitting at the desk, praying that I'd said that right.
Which of course I had, but nerves aren't good for your self-confidence…
"Hello dear, is there something you need?" She asked, looking up from her work.
Her expression jumped some at my outfit. I kind of stared at her for a second, how could it not be obvious. Do I look asian to you lady? No, I look American. Almost sighing, I decided to ignore the stupidity of adults.
"Ummm… I just transferred in…" I muttered, biting my lip in a nervous habit.
"Oh!" She exclaimed, getting up from her seat. "I have your schedule right here Miss… Samhade. Let me go get Mr. Orihara, wait right here." She said, grabbing a piece of paper off of her desk before walking off.
'Special person.' I thought, my gaze shifting to the window.
I bounced from foot to foot in boredom. Good lord, she's been gone for five minutes. I looked around, almost losing patience as the black-haired woman walked back in with an older brown-haired man in tow.
"Hi." I said, my nervousness suddenly disappearing.
Huh, I wonder if it was hit with a brick.
"I'm Mr. Orihara. And you need to put on your uniform." He said.
Wow, so he's the type to hold you up to the rules. I bet he's secretly a teddy bear.
"The skirt was too short and the shirt rode up." I answered simply.
"Doesn't matter, now let's get to class. You better have it tomorrow." He ordered.
"Yeah, okay, let's go." I said, brushing off the warning.
He led me down a series of tan hallways and I looked around, memorizing the layout.
"Here you are, the teachers name is Ton-chan." He said, then pushed me lightly towards the door.
"Ton-chan?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"She likes it when you call her that. Now hurry up, you're late." He said, then walked off.
I looked up at the door, its like it became bigger. I hesitated.
"Yeah and who's fault is that you turd?" I muttered, looking in the direction he disappeared to.
My hand touched the doorknob and I almost pulled it away at the cold of it. I didn't want to do this. I hate new schools. Swallowing I tried to quell the sick feeling in my stomach as I turned the doorknob. The door swung open and I peeked inside. An under-dressed blond looked up from her teaching.
"Um, hi. I'm Julia, the new transfer student…" I said, my american accent leaking into the japanese.
"Oh!" She said, jumping towards me like a rabid bunny. "Class, this the new transfer student!"
A moment later she pulled me inside, I shot her a look and she let go saying some weird crap about rape. Stupid woman, I dub her ditzy. When I sighed Ditzy went over and shut the door again. The sound of the door was like the lock slamming shut in a prison. I looked up at the curious gazes of my new classmates. My stomach turned over and I suddenly felt the need to puke.
"Hi." I said, my voice flat, not betraying the turmoil that I was feeling. "I'm Julia."
Then I turned to Ditzy.
"Umm… you can sit over there next to Ikki." She said, pointing to a kid with brown eyes and the most interesting dark-purple hair.
My eyes widened in recognition. Oh my God, they're in my class. Why? Why God? Why would you do this to me? WHY? AUGH!
I shrugged and walked down the thin pathway between the desks towards birdie back there. Why am I calling him that? The glare he was giving me reminded me of a bird and it's prey. So I'll call him birdie, his glare was making me uncomfortable. That's right, because he was one of the people who was probably pissed at me. Groaning to myself, I slumped down into the seat, ignoring the stares of my new 'peers'. I'll describe it like this. I'm a mouse in a room that's full of cats and there's one protective dog that's a chihuahua at the door. Would you feel safe? Cause I sure as hell don't.
"All right, let's get back to class now g-guys." Ditzy said.
I sighed; this was going to be a long day. Choosing to ignore Ditzy, I looked around. There was a big, fat black guy in the back. Hmmm…. Chocolate-brother actually did suit him. For his appetite and his appearance, cool. There was another rather overweight kid right next to him; his head was shaped kind of weird. Kind of like an onigiri. You know what would be funny? If that was actually his name. I snickered to myself, that would be so mean if his parents named him that. Shaking my head I moved on. Right next to onigiri-head was the blond kid that I'd met before. Kazu, that was his name. Wimp, totally, that's his nickname. Just because he lost to a newbie. A.K.A. … ME! HAHAHA!
"…lia, Julia, I'm asking you a question." Ditzy said, dragging me back to reality.
"Yes?" I asked, my suck-up side clicking in. "I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?" I asked, blushing at being caught zoning out.
"I said, could you tell us about where you came from since we're learning english." She answered.
I blinked, well that's easy.
"Sure. I'm from America. I'm sure you've heard of it, it's not very old but it's really pretty. I lived in Maine so I didn't get to see much of the western states; but I really liked it there. The schools are really different from Japan, and so are the bathrooms. Like, REALLY different. We have our toilets inside the bathroom, and the shower isn't the entire room like it is here. So I was kind of put out when I got here." I said.
It felt amazingly good to talk in my native language instead of having to think about what I'm saying all the time. Well, sort of my native language. My original language is Japanese, but I've been using english longer. As I looked up from my little spiel I realized that everyone was staring at me.
"I-I'm sorry. Was I talking too fast?" I stuttered.
"No, you're just… very good at english." Ditzy said.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Well yeah, that is my native language. Of course I'm good at it." I said.
'Better at it than Japanese anyway.' Jewels ended up saying the end.
"Oh, well that makes sense. But you really don't sound like you're bad at Japanese either." She said.
The other kids in the class nodded.
"Umm… I can speak lots of languages. It's kind of what I'm best at next to school." I said, my entire face drowning in red.
"Cool." Kazu said.
And by some miracle my face heated up even more. I probably looked like a cooked lobster.
'Oh, someone's in looovvveeee." Jewels drawled out, my mouth dropped open.
0000000000
"I still can't believe he left without saying goodbye." I said, chewing absentmindedly.
'Why do you care so much anyway?' Jewels asked.
"Why do I care? Well it's obvious; I didn't get to say thank you." I gasped, almost dropping my fork.
'You're in the lunchroom Julia, stop talking to yourself.' Jewels tittered quietly and I looked around before dropping my head.
'You could have mentioned it before I made myself look like a freak.' I yelled at her in my mind.
She just laughed harder.
'Anyway, what do you plan to do about Kazu and Ikki?' She asked.
'You mean Birdie and the Wimp. I'm not sure, but I should go apologize.' I said.
'Yeah, this would be a perfect time to do it.' I sighed when I realized she was right.
'Fine.' I answered.
I looked around the cafeteria, not seeing them I decided to check outside. Or maybe they were on the roof, I've seen that happen in anime and stuff. Shrugging I decided it wouldn't hurt to try.
'You just want to see if people can actually eat on the roof.' Jewels stated.
'Shut up!' I yelled.
00000000
'Dude, they actually are up here.' I gasped.
"You can actually eat up here?" My awestruck tone rang out lightly across the cement roof.
Chocolate-brother, onigiri head, birdie, the wimp and three other people I didn't know looked up from their food.
"Hey, it's Julia!" Birdie yelled out.
I face-vaulted.
"Obviously…" I muttered.
"How are you?" He said, jogging up to me.
"I'm good?" I said hesitantly. "How are you?"
"Great, do you wanna join my AT team?" He asked, jumping up and down.
I blinked. Wow, someone's hyper.
"Umm… What?"
"My AT team."
"What's that?"
"You do battle's for parts and stuff. AT's are expensive after all, and I need more people for my team."
"Oh, I get it." I said, nodding in understanding. "Battles though? Isn't that, like, violent?"
"Well yeah, I guess so." He said.
I frowned in thought. Well, if I was uncomfortable I could always quit.
Or at least, that's what I'd hoped.
"Sure, I guess. Oh, and I'm sorry for… for ditching you guys the other day. I got really sick." I said, I wrung my hands together as I waited for the answer.
"That's fine. We had to practice anyway." Ikki brushed it off.
I smiled thankfully.
"I'm glad."
"Well, if you're going to join, you should know the rest of the group." Ikki answered.
"Okay." I smiled brightly and followed him to the 'rest of the group' who was looking at me curiously.
"Guys, this is Julia. Julia, this is the guys."
'Oh, what a shocker.' Jewels said scathingly.
"Hi, nice to meet you." I grinned, praying that my teeth were clean.
'I know right. That's a really lame introduction if you ask me.' I scoffed.
Onigiri-head was the first to speak up.
"Well hello there, how are you. I'm Onigiri." He said, getting up.
My lip trembled for a second. A silence spread over us… Then I burst out laughing.
"Oh… my… god." I gasped out between giggles and heavy breathing. "It's nice to meet you… but is that... your real name?"
"Of course it is." He rasped out with his weird voice, then he… Kissed my hand.
My face turned bright red, then I slapped him upside the head.
"Don't randomly kiss people!" I yelled.
"What?" He asked, staring at me like I was a freak.
'You ARE a freak.' Jewels commented.
'I don't need the peanut gallery!'
"I-I'm sorry, but that makes me uncomfortable. Please don't do that." I cried out.
"Oh, that's fine." Onigiri answered.
I almost let it go, but then his eyes redirected themselves to the chest I was already having a hard time containing.
"Pervert!" I screamed, slapping him for real.
"Wow Onigiri. Owned twice by a girl." Kazu piped in in amusement.
I turned towards him with an evil grin.
"Would you like for me to do that to you again." I asked.
"No, no of course not."
"All righty then, let's just forget this and pretend it never happened." I said, bouncing back to my normal personality.
Nothing more was said and I went over to the last guy in the group, Chocolate-brother.
"Hi, I'm Julia. How are you?" I asked, sitting next to the teen eating his lunch.
"Buccha, and I'm good." He mumbled out between slurps of ramen.
I smiled lightly, ramen is my favorite food.
"I hope we get along." I said quietly, then went over the three girls of the group.
"Wow, you actually stood up to their perverted-ness." One of them said.
She had pretty reddish-pink hair and purple eyes. I smiled.
"I don't put up with bullies and stuff… so yeah."
"Oh, me neither. My name's Ringo, by the way." The girl said kindly and extended a hand.
I shook it.
"I'm Jewels, nice to meet you." She smiled at me and I turned o the other two. One had short, brown hair and was kind of short but seemed to be built for running. "And who are you guys?"
"I'm emily." The sporty girl said, her loud voice matched her appearance.
The other brunette was taller and thinner than Emily. She had smaller assets, but a really pretty face and long hair that I would die for. Jealousy flashed up in me and I did my best to ignore it.
"I'm Yayoi." She said.
I was surprised at the quiet voice of the girl. She seemed like the bragging type to me for some reason, but she was nice.
"Julia. I hope we can get along. And don't hold it against me if I…" I paused, getting a big breath in and turning towards the group of guys fooling around behind me. "KILL THE IDIOTS BEHIND ME!"
Then I hit them all over the head. Which is a normal thing for me. Oh boy, I was feeling kind of sick for some reason.
0000000
HERE IT IS! It sucks, it's a fail. There's kind of no plot. BUT THAT'S OKAY! NOW WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE GOOD STUFF! There's always that boring *oh yay, I met everyone* part. And now that I'm past that, we can get back to enjoying the fluff. I hope it ROTS YOUR METAPHORICAL TEETH OUT OF YOUR PERVERBIAL HEAD! MWUAHAHAHAHA! XDXDXDXDXDDDDDD :3
