Ow.

I rolled my neck.

It cracked.

DAMN IT HURTS SO BAD!

Random, huh?

So now here I am, standing in front of A.E.D.'s dorm with a half-broken neck. I straightened my head and felt instant relief.

Now I feel better!

I knocked on the door and adjusted my messenger bag on my shoulder. Just for kicks, I was wearing the uniform that Izm gave me. I already called him and .D to let them know I was coming over with HELL'S HOMEWORK.

*Sigh* Oh boy...

Zeke answered. "Hey Dare," he greeted, "Come in; .D said you'd come."

"Wearing the outfit, I see," Wei Ren commented. Everyone was sitting on the floor with messy papers and textbooks in front of them.

I tilted my head playfully, "Oh so you noticed?"

"Didn't have to," .D shrugged.

"Well yeah, but she looks hot," Izm whispered. I was just able to get within an earshot of that.

"Hi Delilah," Marcus greeted a tad late.

"And hi Marcus," I replied as I sat on the floor between Izm and Zeke. "So what subject are we working on?"

"We haven't started yet," Izm blushed, "I made them wait for you."

"That's sweet," I smiled t him.

"Yo Dare," .D said out of nowhere, "Think fast,"

I narrowed my eyes at him in an instant and caught my cell phone well before it hit the carpet.

"Was that fast enough?" I smirked.

"Sure," he replied.

"But here's something I've been wondering about," Wei Ren started, "Who can ride faster? Izm on his motorbike, or NightTiger in the form of a cheetah?"

"NIGHTTIGER," I answered quickly.

"Honestly guys," A.E.D stood up for me, "STFU about her already."

"But you got to admit," Marcus added, "She's pretty."

Why thank you, Marcus.

.D looked at me, brown eyes almost piercing my skin. I gave him a look that clearly said, 'I know, move on'.

I was about to take out a random textbook from my messenger bag, but I felt something move in there.

I heard a meow.

"Calli! What the hell are you doing in there?" I demanded.

"Who's Calli?" Izm asked.

She purred as she slithered out of the bag.

"Aww, it's a kitty!" Marcus reached out to stroke her. She rubbed against his hand happily.

"Um, Dare, why'd you bring a cat?" A.E.D interrogated me.

"I didn't even know she was in there!" I defended myself, "She loves hiding and popping up in the weirdest of places."

"... Just keep her under control and don't bring her again," .D ordered.

"What .D?" Izm teased, "You allergic to cats? What's wrong with a little kitty love here and there?"

"Hey, you're the one with the cat rubbing all over you."

Calli was scent marking Izm's head and shirt with the scent glands on her face, happily purring.

"Dare, if your cat gets hair all over my dorm-" .D threatened.

"C'mon man; share the love!" Izm held up my darling to A.E.D. She was close enough to lick his face.

"Ew," he muttered, wiping off the cat saliva. Calli swished her tail in laughter.

"But honestly Cal," I looked at her seriously, "try not to bother us, kay?"

She nodded slowly once and hopped on the couch.

"I-" .D started, I interrupted him.

"I know, I know, don't bring her again."

"Work on math?" Wei Ren changed the subject.

"Ugh, no math!" I banged my head against the floor. "I hate math... But I have a test tomorrow, so whatever."

"I can help you," Izm offered.

"Yeah right," .D contradicted, "You have the IQ of a monkey chewing on a stick."

Izm shot him a nasty look.

"Besides," I reached in my bag and pulled out my math notebook, "I don't need help; the freaking teachers just give me too much." I looked at the papers to see what I wrote down.

I pinpointed my eyes at the first sheet in horrific shock. I stared it.

Remember Kiley and Holly? I have Holly in my P.E. and math class whilst I have Kiley in math.

"That fucking hussy bitch!" I screamed, everyone staring. "How could anyone be that cold? I gave these papers to Holly! How can that little whore get my homework? She KNOWS that we have an exam tomorrow! I'M GOING TO KILL HER!"

I slammed my head on the ground again, secretly crying.

"Uh, Dare?" Izm put his arm on my shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"LITTLE BITCH!" I lifted my head and slammed it down again a few times. "My worst enemy sabotaged my math homework..."

"You have enemies?" Zeke wondered aloud.

I lifted my head fully while a tear rolled down my left cheek. "Well, yeah, why do you think I complained about 'no friends' when I beat Caleb half to death?

"Her name's Kiley Welder," I explained, "She's such a cold-hearted traitorous bitch... There isn't really a strong enough word for her evilness."

"What'd she do to your math, then?" Wei Ren asked curiously.

I flipped over the notebook sheets and slid them into the middle of our circle.

Hiya!

I asked my bestest friend Holly to switch places with me. I ended up with your homework on my desk. Teehee! I couldn't help but write all over it! ! You have the worst sense of trust, EVER! Do you have any idea how stupid you are? This is why NOBODY likes you! Hahaha!

~KW

Bitch.

"Wow," A.E.D breathed, "That's cold."

"Yeah, cold, lah," Wei Ren agreed. I think 'lah' is a Chinese term.

"And one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain," I sang to myself. And honestly, I'm a pretty good singer.

Izm and Marcus looked back at me. "What was that?" Marcus practically yelled.

I made a 'fuck you' face at him. "Sweet Sacrifice; Evanescence, retard," I spat.

Calli came from nowhere and rubbed her face on my other shoulder.

"That was... The best... Singing... I've... Heard..." Izm tried to look for words that were complimentary and comforting at the same time.

I brushed off his arm and blushed, still mad at Kiley. "Thanks, I guess."

"Um," Zeke raised his eyebrows at the letter, "I guess we can skip math tonight, or do it later." He looked at me, expecting an approval.

I smiled a little through my last tear, "Thanks guys,"

"But honestly," Izm ignored everything, "You gotta sing again!"

"Enough about my singing," I lowered my head aggressively.

"Yeah man," .D agreed, "You're gay enough."

"Hey," Izm retorted, "If I was gay, I wouldn't have a girlfriend." He wrapped his arm around my neck lovingly, sticking his tongue out at A.E.D.

"Let. Go. Of. My. Head," I ordered menacingly.

Izm looked at me and grinned innocently.

I smacked him upside the head, his arm letting me go; thankfully for him, my claws were sheathed.

"OK, ow!" he complained, "You be careful who you hit, Dare! I have a switchblade in my pocket as we speak!"

"Oh come on," I argued, "You'd never stab me, would you?"

Everybody went "Oooooooooooooh, burn!"

I pulled out my laptop to search my school's homework for 8th graders. I thought it should have the math assignment in there. Take that, you worthless bitch Kiley.

Izm removed his arm from my neck reluctantly. "Bastards," he whispered.

I stared at the web page. I banged my head against the keyboard, typing in random letters and numbers. "YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!" I threw my arms up and shouted, "I GOTZ NOES MATH TONITEZ!"

"Uh wait whut?" Zeke tilted his head, just like Calli did next to me.

"Thank God," I replied, "My math teacher scrubbed the homework tonight so I don't have math... YAY!"

"HOLLA!" Izm shouted next to me, sadly, in his most girlish voice.

I turned my head and looked at him with another 'fuck you' expression. He just smiled and flashed his beautiful crimson eyes at me.

I rolled my eyes and pretended not to like him.

He leaned in closer to my face and whispered into my ear, "I have a great idea that includes us and a closet. Your response?"

"You're a horny bastard," I softly whispered back, "But you're persistent, kid."

"Mine," he smiled.

I rolled my eyes again. Well, this is interesting...
