BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

A hand reached from under a blanket, smacking the top of an alarm clock, shutting the annoying contraption up. Throwing the blanket off of her body, amaya stood up off of her bed and looked at the time on her alarm click and saw that it was 6:05am, she liked to get dressed before everyone so she wouldn't be in their way when the got up, so she walked over to her closet and pulled out a freshly knew dry cleaned school uniform.

She stripped off her sleeping clothes, and put her school uniform on, she went over to her dresser and fished out a pair of white knee length socks, and she put them on, after that she stood up, she grabbed her toothbrush off from on top of the dresser and walked over to her door, unlocking it and walking to the bathroom across the hall, locking the door behind her, she started brushing her teeth, and when she was done with that, she picked up the wire brush and begin combing out the tangled mess of hair, and she put it up in a high messy bun, then she combed out her forelocks.

Bang bang bang!

" Get out the god damn bathroom, there are other people who needs to get ready too!"

Amaya jumped at the sound of banging on the door, so she rushed to it and opened it, seeing the angry face of her elder foster brother. He scowled at her and grabbed her arm, yanking her out of the bathroom, and slamimg the door in her face. She sighed and walked to her room, grateful that she had finished with her hair, she looked at her alarm clock, seeing that it was now 6:29am, she rushed over to her bedside and picked up her backpack, and ran out of her room and downstairs, she threw her backpack down on the sofa and ran to the kitchen, she began taking out all different kinds of ingredients and cooking skillets, and she went to work on cooking the family breakfast, they liked to eat what Americans eat for their breakfast, so she made scrambled pancakes, cheesy eggs, bacon, toast, and sausage links, she finally finished cooking their breakfast just in time because kazuya and ayumi came down the stairs, with the twin behind them and lastly the two elder siblings. They all took a seat at the dining table and amaya sat a plate full of food in front of each of them, along with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and they all began to eat.

Amaya stood there as usual, waiting for them to tell her she could eat, and when kazuya finally gave her permission, it was already 7:00am, which meant that it was time to head off for school, amaya sighed silently to herself knowing that she didn't have time to eat breakfast again and just grabbed an apple from the fruit basket that sat on the table, she then bowed her dismissal to the family, then walked over to the sofa and grabbed her backpack, she then walked to the front door and slipped her shoes on and quietly exited the house.

The walk to school was quiet as always, as munched on her apple, she used to find it unfair that she had to walk to school when her foster parents drove the other four to school, but now she was use to the unfair treatment and also happy that she didn't have to put up with the family in the morning when she walked to school. As amaya walked passed an electronics store, she saw on the TV in the front that there was a commercial about a shrine museum that needed help and was hiring young people to work as tour guides, amaya quickly took out a piece of paper and pencil and begin to write down the adress of the shrine, when she was finished writing, she put everything in her back pack and continued her walk to school.

When amaya arrived on her school grounds, she walked into the building and went directly to her locker, she grabbed the completed homework she left in there yesterday and headed for her homeroom class. Amaya arrived at her classroom seeing no one but the teacher in there, and she walked over to her desk.

" Oh, good morning Ms. Higurashi." A sweet voice called out to her.

" Good morning sensei." Amaya said, bowing to her teacher.

After receiving a smile from her teacher, amaya then sat down at her desk and put her head down. Minutes later, amaya heard two familiar voices, one male and one female, but she kept her head glued to the desk, she heard the voices talking for about ten minutes until she heard the goodbyes and sounds of kissing, amaya then heard footsteps coming closer, approaching her desk, after the footsteps stopped, she felt her shoulder being tapped, but she didn't raise her head, she continued to act like she was asleep, she heard a sigh, and felt another tap, when she wasn't responding, she then felt her body being shaken, which caused he eyes to snap open to glare at the offending person who was shaking her.

" Really shuichi?" She said annoyed.

He shrugged nonchalantly.

" You wouldn't wake up, what else was there to do?"

" Oh I don't know, leave me alone and let me rest before class starts." She said bluntly.

" But where's the fun in that? I would be bored out of my mind if I just sat here for another fifteen minutes waiting for class to start." He said pouting.

Amaya rolled her eyes at her best friends childishness.

" Your are so...

" Awesome, handsome, charming-

" annoying." Amaya said cutting him off.

Shuichi playfully glared at amaya, causing her to laugh.

" Your just hating because you know I'm awesome." Shuichi said while flipping his long crimson hair over his shoulder in a very dramatic girly way, which made amaya laugh harder.

" Yeah, your right, I'm am so hating on you." Amaya said sarcastically, while rolling her eyes.

" of course you are." He said smirking at her.

She was about to respond with a sarcastic remark, but she heard her sensei call both her and shuichi to her desk, so they both stood up and made their way over to her desk.

" Hai sensei, you needed us." I said politely.

" Yes, since you are the only two here, and both of you are in my drama class, I have a question regarding the drama club."

" Hai, sensei, what is it?" Shuichi asked.

" I was wondering, for this years play, we should do the tragic love story of "inuyasha", what do you guys think?"

The sensei looked at both of her students faces and saw that shuichi looked interested, but amaya looked confused.

" Is there a problem Ms. Higurashi?" She asked politely.

" No, there is no problem with me, I'm not disagreeing on your decision on what play we should do, its just, I don't know that story." Amaya said embarrassed.

Both the teacher and shuichi looked at amaya like she was crazy.

" Maya, how do you not know that story, that's like the number one story every parent tell to their child." Shuichi said in disbelief.

Amaya looked down sadly, knowing that she didn't have a childhood that included loving parents that tucked her in and read her goodnight stories.

" I just don't ok." She said softly. " but if you can give me a copy of the book, I will read it and have a better understanding of it."

Her sensei smiled at her and nodded.

" unfortunately, I don't have the book on me today, its at my home, but I would be glad to bring it tomorrow and let you borrow it." Sensei said.

" Arigato sensei, I would appreciate that very much." Amaya said smiling.

" Then it is settled, we are doing the story of inuyasha!" Sensei said smiling.

They all heard the first bell ring.

" You two might want to sit down now, the rest of the students should be coming any minute now." Sensei said as she took out her big binder full of pass out information.

" Hai sensei." The two students said in unison as they turned away from their teacher and walked back to their seats, and as soon as they sat down, students started filing into the classroom.

Amaya sighed, knowing this was the part of school that she dreaded, not the most, but close to it, as the rest of the students filed into the classroom, she put her head down on her desk, knowing she would year the annoying voices of her enemies very soon.

As amaya heard the last bell ring, she also heard two voices laughing about how they made it only seconds before sensei closed the door, then she heard the usual heavy footsteps walk over towards her desk.

" Hey stupid, how are you doing this morning?" She heard the familiar voice speak to her.

She ignored him and kept her head down on the desk with her eyes closed.

" What, are you def now, you can't hear?" He asked.

Again she didn't respond.

" Whatever, I was trying to be nice to you today, but your to stupid to show some hospitality." He said walking away to his seat.

" okay class, settle down, I have very important information I need to hand out to you, these, as you know, are your monthly progress reports, and everyone should no the drill by now, if you got lower than a seventy in any of your classes then you need to have your parents sign this so they are awre of your grade and you must bring it back before this Friday." She said while handing out everyone's progress reports.

Amaya kept her head down during the hole ordeal, she only lifted her head when the teacher handed her the progress report. She took a look at her grades.

Math: 92%

Art:100%

Social studies: 99%

English: 90%

Gym: 91%

Science: 96%

Drama:98%

She was happy with her grades, though she could do much better in some subjects, she was content, she smiled to hersekf, but her smile fell when she felt her progress report being ripped out of her hands, she looked up and saw no other than yusuke urameshi scanning over her grades.

" Feh, you think your so smart don't you?" He said while throwing her progress report back at her.

Amaya cast her eyes down ward.

" Yeah, you look down bitch, don't think your the shit because you get good grades, because your still nothing but an ugly, nerdy, loser, bitch! He said yelling at her, catching the attention of the whole class, who started laughing at what yusuke said.

" Yusuke Urameshi!" She heard the teacher yell.

Amaya's eyes started to water, looking up briefly, she caught the eyes of her best friend, but he quickly looked away from her, clearly not wanting to be brought into the situation, her heart broke, she thought that her best friend would stand up for her this time, but it looks like she was wrong, is he really, truly her friend? Amaya didn't know. The tears falling down her eyes began to splash on her hands, not able to take anymore laughing, she stood up from her seat, and ran out of the classroom.

Amaya ran to the nearest bathroom, but quickly wished that she hadn't.

" Oh look girls, if it isn't the miss know it all bitch." A evil girly voice called out.

Amaya turned around to leave out of the bathroom, but she was yanked back in by the back of her uniform.

" Did I dismiss you?! You don't fucking leave with my permission!" The evil girl yelled in amaya's face.

Amaya tried to get out of her grasp, but she was pushed into the wall, making her hit her head against the brick wall, she fell to the ground holding her head, feeling slightly dizzy.

" Lesson learned bitch, don't ever try to defy me again and stay the fuck away from my boyfriend, if I see you talkin to him again, I swear you will wish you were dead, you think I don't notice when you two talk to each other, by the way, he only talks to you, because he feels sorry for you, you don't actually think that he is your friend do you, I mean honestly, he only talks to you when you two are alone, and he ignors you when people are around, you are just to pathetic for him to ever consider you a real friend, so just do yourself a favor and just stop talking to him, and if you don't, well, like I said, your gonna wish you were dead." She said as she walked out of the bathroom, with her minions following right behind her.

Amaya stayed on the ground holding her head, already knowing that a knot will form because she bruise easily.

After a few minutes, amaya got to her feet and walked over to the sink, looking in the mirror, she saw the forming of a knot on her forehead, sighing to herself, amaya walked out if the bathroom and back to her class. Amaya waited at the door for the teacher to open the door for her, and when she did, amaya walked inside of the classroom, the air was thick with tension, and she even heard more snicker from some students as she walked passed them, she walked back to her seat and put her head down, unaware of the emerald eyes that keeps glancing her way.

The rest of amaya's day was typical, except for her last class which was drama class, they had to work on a monolog to present to the class, but amaya just kept her head on her desk, not wanting any part of today's activities, especially because shuichi was in this class with her and she didn't want to speak with him, but unfortunately for her, shuichi did want to speak with her.

He made his way over to her, and he tapped her shoulder like he did this morning. She didn't respond to him so he tapped her again, calling out her name, but she just shrugged his hand off of her shoulder.

Shuichi sighed.

" Look maya-

" Don't call me that!" She yelled at him, her head still on her desk.

Shuichi knitted his eyebrows together in confusion.

" but I always call you Maya, you know that I give all my friends nicknames." Shuichi said confused.

"We're not friends!" Amaya's head shot up, her brown/golden eyes glaring at him. " You really think that friends just sit there and let people pick on their friends and not do anything about it?! You think a friend only talk to their friend when no one is around and when people are around, then you ignor them?!"

" I don't ignore you, I'm talking to you right now." Shuichi said.

" Oh yeah, because no one with a high social status is in this class! Just leave me alone and don't talk to me anymore, then you won't have to worry about your precious popular friends seeing you talk to me." Amaya said.

The last bell of the day rang and amaya grabbed her bookbag and stood up and walked out of the classroom, leaving a very guilt redhead staring after her.
