''W-what's...'' Yellow stammered.

''This,'' Sapphire said, ''-is BULLSHIT!''

Both Yellow and me backed away from Sapphire a little. I'd seen her mad a few times, and believe me... When she was truly pissed off, you'd need more than a dozen bodyguards to keep her from killing you.

''Sapphire, calm down. We'll find a way to discuss this with the person who did this to your shoes.'' Yellow whispered.

''Ah, but there's no need to! It seems like they are in for a WOIII, they are the ones who started this.'' She said while grinning deviously.

''Hey, Sapph... You're kind of scaring me now.'' I said.

''Don't worry, you guys. Just go to the field, I'll take care of this... misunderstanding.''

''Yeah, that's ok.'' I started walking into the direction of the door, dragging Yellow along with me.

''...But Blue...!'' She tried to stop me while pouting like a puppy.

''Believe me, Yellow. I've been in the same class as Sapphire for a few years now, and this is the point where we get out of here as fast as possible.'' I whispered.

She probably understood, since she allowed me to drag her with me all the way to the field.
Our sports coach, miss Maylene, already stood at the iron gateway with her arms crossed. Next to her were Green and Red, both looking like we'd be dead in a few minutes, and judging miss Maylene's expression, this could be the case.

Her short, bubblegum pink hair was sticking to her forehead, drenched with sweat, and her pink eyes were crimson with anger right now.

Her huge character change was a bit shocking to me, she went from her ordinary cheerful, shy personality to a she-hulk in a few seconds.

''Um, hi miss Mayle-'' I started, but she interrupted. After that she must have spent half an hour just yelling at us about how she hated people coming late, and making Yellow and me run many useless laps.

I wasn't very good at running laps though, so after a few minutes I was looking at Yellow's back while I started to pant like some kind of old man. After a few minutes of lowering my speed, There seemed to be another person behind me, wanting to catch up. I started to increase my speed, that was so notgoing to happen! Suddenly I heard a voice on my left, ''You ok?''

I looked in the direction where the voice came from and noticed that Green was running next to me. I tried to control my panting, and began to run faster while coughing out, ''Yeah, sure. Why are you asking?'' as casually as I could.

''You're one of my best friends. Is it not ok for me to be worried about your health?'' He said with an annoyed tone. He probably was disappointed in me because I didn't show any appreciation for him running all this way to me. After a few minutes of running I managed to put my pride aside and speak to him.

''Green...''

''What is it?'' He asked, still annoyed.

''...Thanks.'' I said, grinning at him.

''You're welcome.'' He said, I could hear he was smiling. A few minutes later I started wondering if Yellow had finished running already. I looked in the direction of the rest of our class. I couldn't spot Yellow, but I did spot Platina, she was following us with her eyes and her expression wasn't a happy one.

''Your girlfriend doesn't seem to like the idea of you helping me.'' I told him.

''...I already told her we're just friends.'' This caused me to lower the speed for a bit.
You gotta be kidding me, Platina was worried I was going to steal Green away from her?

After a few minutes my panting became louder, my cheeks hotter and my legs heavier.
I didn't even need to ask Green if he could run a little slower, he slowed down himself, without me asking.

''Do we need to rest for a bit?'' He asked while looking at me.

''No way, I'm gonna run all 20 laps in once!'' I said stubbornly. He sighed. His sigh didn't just sound annoyed though, it sounded amused too.

''What is it?''

''You're the most stubborn person I know.''

''And I'm proud of it.'' After a few more minutes I started to slow down. He looked at me.

''You alright?'' He asked, but there was really no need to since my red head and trembling legs seemed to say it all.

''My throat hurts.'' Was all I could say, even though my lungs felt like they could blow up every moment and my legs seemed to be made of jelly. Suddenly he started to increase speed. ''That's ok, I'll see you on the finish line.''

And he ran straight up to the rest of our class. What was he doing? I didn't know why he was like this, but I was so not going to let him win. I ran faster. Even though my legs seemed to be screaming for mercy I didn't even feel it. After a few seconds I ran past Green, while screaming,

''See you at the finish line, sucker!'' Over my shoulder and laughing like a maniac.
I even caught up on Yellow, even though I didn't notice. My legs were now so sore that I didn't feel any pain anymore.

'It wouldn't hurt much to just continue running, would it?' I kept telling myself. Until, after what seemed like two seconds, I suddenly bumped into something with incredible force.

''Ow!'' I cried, while slowly looking up at the thing I had ran into.
I looked straight into the surprised pink eyes from miss Maylene.

''Why, hello blue!'' She chirped, being her usual cheerful self again. ''I don't remember you being so good at running!''

A few seconds later Yellow and Green arrived at the finish line.

''Ah! Blue, you did such a good job!'' Yellow said, smiling.
When I looked at Green, I saw he was grinning. I raised my eyebrow, until suddenly I understood why he was grinning. My jaw dropped. He laughed at my stupid expression.

''...Wait, this was your intention, wasn't it?'' I said, still panting. He ran a hand through his hair while mumbling, ''...Well, duh.''

When I recovered from the shock, I muttered ''I'm impressed!''

''You truly didn't know?'' He asked with his usual bored tone. His smirk revealed the fact that he was actually amused, though. I didn't answer. I was too ashamed. How could it be that I, who had been able to fool every single person I ever met from the moment I was born, had just been tricked?

Suddenly a person with raven hair and red eyes came running towards the three of us.

''Hi Red!'' Yellow greeted him.

''Hey there!'' He said.
Red held out his hand to me. ''Well done.'' He complimented us. I accepted his hand and pulled myself up. Red and Green walked towards the rest of our class, who were currently busy playing soccer.

''Has Sapphire shown up yet?'' I asked Yellow. She slowly shook her head.

''Should we go check on her? Who knows what she is doing right now!'' I asked, panicking.

''Leave it to me.'' Yellow said. Before I could say something, she had already ran towards miss Maylene.

''...Ah, um... Miss?'' I could hear her say with a nervous tone.

''What is it, Yellow?'' Miss Maylene turned her head towards the small blonde, smiling.

''...Would it be ok if I used the toilet?'' I could see that miss Maylene completely fell for the trick. ''But of course!''

What's with the character changes today? Turns out even Yellow can play tricky when she wants to. She ran past me while smiling at me, being her usual innocent self again. I looked around the class, and noticed Ruby, Sapphire's best friend, wasn't focused on the soccer game.
This was the fourth time I had seen him getting hit by the ball. It wasn't like he loved gym class, but that didn't do anything about the fact that he was good at it. Well, normally.

''Ruby, is there anything on your mind?'' I heard miss Maylene ask him.

''No, I am perfectly fine.''

''You should just sit down in the duck-out for a while anyway, ok? Blue can get you some water, she's still recovering from running those laps anyway.'' I groaned. Come on, my condition wasn't that bad.

I sat down next to Ruby anyway, though. I looked at his hat. ''You don't even put it off in gym class?''

Wait. That was a stupid way to start a conversation. He didn't seem to mind, ''Nope.''
After a few minutes of silence I got sick of it.

''So... Want some water?'' I asked, hoping he would talk some more. I didn't like having to force someone to talk.

''Nah, I didn't even do much.''

''Then why were you hit by the ball all the time?'' He didn't respond, so I went straight to the point.

''Worried about Sapphire much?''
He turned his head to me with incredible speed. It kind of scared me.

''No.'' He said with an uncertain tone.

''Well, that wasn't very convincing.'' I laughed teasingly.

''Don't worry though. My friend Yellow is checking on her right now.''
He seemed to relax. I liked teasing him, he didn't outsmart me like Green did. He kind of reacted like Red on my teasing, that made Red one of the persons I tricked almost daily.

''You like her, don't you?''

''NO!'' He yelled, causing every person on the playing field to look in his direction.
Ok, so this was too much fun.

''I knew it!'' I chirped. His cheeks was completely colored red right now.

''So, want me to ask her if she likes you?'' I was convinced he'd react the same way he had done a few minutes ago.

I was right.

''NO!'' He yelled again.

''Why would I like her? She's like a barbarian, when she first came to this school she was dressed like damn Tarzan! I had to teach her how to dress properly!'' He told me, while turning his head away from me. ''I wouldn't even know what there is to like about her.''

Denial.

''You keep telling yourself that, honey.'' I said while pinching his cheek. Before he could respond, Yellow returned while pulling Sapphire along.

''Hey there!'' I greeted them, still pinching Ruby's cheek with one hand and waving at the girls with my other one.

''So what did you do about y-'' I started, but Sapphire quickly covered my mouth with her hand, and frantically stuttered, ''-My... Um... Lost shirt? Ah, I lend one from the lost and found.''

I raised my eyebrow at her, but played along anyway.

''Ah, ok! I was already wondering if you had thought about that in time.'' After an awkward silence, Ruby said ''What's up with you? You are acting weir-''

But he was cut off by Sapphire who yelled, ''So! Wanna play soccer for a bit?''

She took his hand and dragged him to the rest of our class. I looked at Yellow almost demanding an explanation, but she shrugged. ''I don't know what she did. Though I wonder why she didn't want to know Ruby?''

I did know that last one, though. She didn't want to worry him. I heard some friends of Platina threatening Sapphire by telling her that if she didn't obey them they would tell Ruby's father about the clubs he was joining without his father knowing. I felt sorry for Sapphire. I felt sorry for Green, too. If, for some reason, he would dump her... Would he be treated like this too?

''Blue? Are you ok?'' I heard Yellow ask me. I noticed I had a pained look on my face.

'Crap!'

''Yeah, of course! I was just... Thinking about Sapphire's weird behavior.''

I noticed by the look she gave me that she didn't believe me for one bit. But before she could ask me some more questions, I was saved by the rest of the students leaving the playing field.

''Sorry, Yellow! I have to hurry!'' I told her smiling and ran off as fast as I could.

At the end of the day, every other student was watching the football game which was now going on outside. It was Friday, and Red and I were still in the school library. We had to finish a project for History class.

That was not the only reason I wasn't out to watch the game, though. The main reason was that Platina was the head cheerleader, and I wasn't exactly in the mood to see her jumping around and making crazy moves that I could never even dream of being able to do.

''What about this one?'' Red pulled a book out of one of the book shelves like he had done over thirty times already in one hour. Even though it didn't seem like it: I was the smart one, so I ended up doing most of the project while he was pretending to be useful. It was kind of funny, actually.

''You know what? Why don't you look up some pictures for our project?'' I suggested.

I was just making up something for him to do so I could go on with our project, though. I had already collected enough pictures. He probably knew what I was doing, because he reluctantly walked over to the corner where the computers were. When he turned on one of the computers, I heard a soft beep and after a few seconds he called out my name.

''Hey, Blue?''

''What is it?'' I asked, wanting to just finish the project and go home.

''I just got a text message from Green. Platina asked him if they could go to a club tonight, but she's bringing some friends and told him that he could invite some too. Yellow is coming, and now he's asking us.''

I dropped the pen I was holding. I was actually in the mood for some dancing. ''Yeah, sure. Sounds fun.'' I told him.

After what felt like ages, I finally put the last word on paper and stretched my fingers.

''Done!'' I yelled in Red's direction. He didn't reply, so I stood up to look at him. He was sitting on his chair, but his head was resting on the table. He was snoring loudly.

''Geez, I was the one doing all the boring things, you have no reason to be sleeping, you douchebag.'' I said, smiling. I didn't feel like waking him up nicely, though. So I just threw a book at his head.

''Ow!'' He cried out when the book hit the back of his head.

''I'm leaving, are you coming with me?''

''Sure!'' He said, slowly raising his head from the desk. I just picked up my back and swung it over my shoulder, walking towards the door. He caught up on me when I walked into the hallway, where we ran into Yellow. She had just been watching the game, but she had left early because she didn't find it all that interesting. We cycled home together, and since I was the one living the closest to school, I waved them goodbye while they cycled to their homes.

''See you tonight, Blue!'' My friends said, waving. I turned to my house. When I noticed there was a note on the front door, I quickly started walking towards it.
When I was close enough to be able to read it, this was what it said:

''Blue,
Your dad and me won't be home tonight, since your aunt Anne has just given birth to a son.
Silver is staying at a friend's home, so you'll be alone. I promise it will be for just one night.
There are some leftovers in the fridge, you can eat those.
When you feel like talking to one of us, just call me on my cell phone.

Love, mom.''

There was a phone number written down on the back of the note. Yeah right, like I would need that.

Well, good timing for that! Now I wouldn't have to be home at twelve o'clock like usually.

I didn't feel like picking an outfit out six hours before I actually went to the club like Platina probably did, so I just sat down in the living room, feeling like writing a song. I started on it, and quite some time passed until I remembered to watch the clock because of my grumbling stomach.

'Right, seven o'clock. time to eat.'

I stood up, overlooking the song I had just written. I was actually quite pleased with it. I walked to the kitchen, humming my song. When I looked into the fridge, I noticed the only thing lying in there was some old broccoli and spaghetti.
'Seriously, does that woman want to kill me?'
I didn't have a choice, so I just put it into the microwave and adjusted it a little bit so my food wouldn't blow up when I was in the living room. After I ate, I was just sitting on the couch. I turned on the television and started watching a few cheap comedy series, which for some reason made me laugh uncontrollably.

When I looked on the clock again, I noticed it was half past 10 o'clock already.
'Crap! I've only got an hour to get ready!'

I rushed upstairs to look for something to wear so I wouldn't look like a total fool. When I looked in my closet, there was just one thing I found suitable. It was a black dress with a high collar. My mom had bought me it when I had just escaped, as a 'welcome-home' present. I took it out of the closet and put it on my bed. When I had put it on and looked into the mirror, I found there was something missing.
I looked into my closet again, and found a pair of white boots and matching white gloves. After putting on the whole set, I felt really excited. It didn't look all that bad! After putting in some curlers, and putting on some mascara I just waited for my hair to curl. Though after a few minutes the bell rang.

'Shit!'

Since my friends were already here I removed the curlers. My hair looked a little weird because it only curled at the ends, but it had a funny effect too. I didn't have any time to change it anyway, so with that in mind I rushed down the stairs and opened the door.

Outside were my friends. They didn't look like they had put much effort in their looks, so I felt a bit ashamed. Yellow had put on an orange pullover, a short skirt and some orange knee-length socks, Red was still wearing the same clothes he wore today, jeans with a black shirt and a vest, and Green was wearing jeans with a sweater. He didn't wear anything special, just like Red and Yellow, but I thought he looked amazingly hot. It made me sweaty.

''Hey there, you guys!''

''Hi. You coming? Platina's limousine is waiting there.'' Green said. He pointed his finger to a huge, black, shiny limousine. My jaw dropped for the second time today. The car was so big I was sure my whole family could live a long, happy life in it. I looked at Green again. He looked nervous. Then I looked back at the car.
''You serious?'' I said slowly. It was not like I was poor, I just wasn't used to this stuff. Yellow shrugged her shoulders, while Red just broadly smiled at me. It seemed like he wanted to say something like: 'Just shut up and enjoy this, since we're obviously not going to have a chance to sit in a fat car like this ever again.'

I sighed and closed the door of my house. ''Ok then.''

My friends turned around too, and we all walked into the direction of the car, obviously none of us was feeling very comfortable.

'Nah, I shouldn't make such a fuss.' I thought to myself. 'Tonight will probably be fun anyways.'

...Boy was I wrong.

So… That was it!

Well… not 'it' as in: the end of the fiction, but as in: 'The last chapter I'm going to post on this…er… 16th of December.'

Next week and the week after that I have Christmas vacation though, so I might just write some more!

My beta, I mean. I'm done writing chapter eight already XD

Sooooo… If you want to complain, complains can be sent to Usa.

Don't worry, she can handle it. D

Please review!
