Chapter 2:

Ichigo woke to the sunlight streaming in her blinds. She got up and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror. "I look like a wreck! Where's that soap at?" She washed her face off. "There, I look a lot better. What day is it?" She looked at the calender in her room. "Today's Saturday. Do I have to go to work? I don't feel like it, but I guess I better." She walked down the stairs and saw a note on the table: 'Hey Ichigo. Your mom and I are going to be gone most of the day. When you get off of work, there is some dinner in the fridge. Love, Dad and Mom. P.S. We heard a crash last night. Do you know what happened?' "Nooo...not at all..." (sarcasm!) She walked out the door because she didn't feel good enough to actually eat anything. She walked down the street by herself. She usually walked to the café with Masaya, but that jerk was outta the picture. "I should devise a plan to wipe him of the face of the earth." she mumbled as she continued walking to the café. She was almost there when she bumped into one of her other friends, Mint. "Hey Ichigo." said Mint. "Hey" mumbled Ichigo. "Is something wrong?"asked Mint "Huh, not really..." "Tell me." "Why? You usually never care anyway..." "I do sometimes. Today's one of those days."said Mint "OK. Fine. I kinda found out something that I really wish I didn't find out."Ichigo said as they went around the corner. "Oh? What is that? Can't be that bad, can it?" said Mint sounding like she actually cared. "Oh, you don't even know...Well, I kinda found out that Masaya..." "Masaya what?" "...IS A BIG JERK! THAT'S WHAT!"Ichigo screamed. A flock of birds flew out from a tree. "Oh. Yeah. I knew that from the beginning." said Mint. "Huh?" "It's just the way he'd always look at you. It disgusted me." "How?" Ichigo questioned. "It just did." "Oh. OK." "Yeah, I know. I don't anyone really liked him. Especially Ryou." said Mint "Ryou didn't like him?" "Nope. Not at all. I overheard him one day while you were talking to Masaya. He said a few things about Masaya I don't really want to repeat." "Why?" Ichigo asked. "It would be very unladylike." "Like you're actually a lady anyway." Ichigo muttered. "Hey! I am too!" "Of course you are..." (Ichigo just loves sarcasm!) "Hey, we're here Ichigo. Clear you head at least until your shift's over." stated Mint. "OK. Hey guys, how are you all doing?" "Oh hey. I'm doing good." said Lettuce "Hey, hey, hey! I'm fine!" "I can see that Pudding." "Where's Zakuro?" "She's got the day off" mumbled Mint. "Oh. Well, it's a good thing we aren't that busy tod-" Ichigo was cut off. CRASH! "Ugh! What the-" "Hello there ladies!" "Ugh. It's only Kish." said Ichigo. "WHAT? How DARE YOU not to even CARE about me being here? I'm here to destroy you girlies!" said Kish. "Just like you do every time you're here." said Ichigo. "I'm getting really fed up with you, Strawberry." "Don't you even think of calling me that again, or I will unleash my wrath upon you, and I mean it. I'm not in the mood to fight you idiot anyways." "Jeez...what's your problem?" asked Kish. "You wouldn't understand anyways, so what does it matter to you?" said Mint. "Pfft...like I care anyways...let's get to the point. Time to fight!" "I'll wipe the floor with you!" said Ichigo. "I'd like to see you try." *sticks tongue out* "Uh oh. You shouldn't of done that. Now she really WILL wipe the floor with you." said Mint. "METAMOPHOSIS!" they all said in unison. "Strawberry Bell! You are going to pay for ruining my already bad day! Ribbon Strawberry Check!" "Ugwaah! Until next time, Strawberry!" "Grr...stupid alien...I HATE MY LIFE!" screamed Ichigo. And with that, she ran out of the café, really, really, (and I mean REALLY) mad. 'Why can't I just be a normal girl?Why do I have to be some freak that fights mutated animals to save the freaking earth that's just going to blow in a few years? Why can't someone else be "The Chosen One"? Stupid Aliens, stupid earth-and STUPID RYOU! It's HIS fault! That's why I'm a no good cat freak! I'll show him one...but, not now...I'm really tired...' So, Ichigo made her way back to her house. She looked into the fridge. Guess what it was. It was last night's meatloaf. "Nope. Not a chance mom." She went upstairs and fell asleep, hoping tomorrow to give Ryou a piece of her mind!

LOL. I'm sorry it took so long. You have NO idea how hard summer projects are! Well, hope you liked it and again, so sorry for the wait! I finally fixed the double space problem!
