I had the hair sample; I was going to Mrs. Driscoll's class to get a flask until, I saw more rhinos in front I ran in the school and into her class. I quickly took a flask and put the hair inside. "It's ninja time." I put on the ninja mask. This time my hair was braided. Winter was curled up on my sleeve (not in).

I ran to the rhinos but I saw the ninja there. "Hello, little help here." He asked. "I don't feel like fighting rhinos plus I'm enjoying the show." I said leaning on the wall. I watched him fight but this time behind him a rhino was charging at him. I made a snowball and threw it at the rhino. The rhino looked at me but charged at me this time. I took out my katana. "Hello, rhino. Want a piece of me." I sliced it in half. "Why didn't you help me? I was having trouble back there." he asked. "First, I told you that I'm your enemy and second, I said I didn't feel like it. I even saved your life at least give me a 'thanks'."

I looked at him with an outrages face. "What want to fight or are you too chicken. Let's finish where we landed." I told. Still holding the Kanata, I threw it down on the floor instead I took out a bow and arrows. "Come on, go for it." He ran to me. I shot an arrow he blocked it; I shot an arrow into the sky (I don't know why but I feel like it) and before I knew it, it started raining. 'I can control water! Cool.' I made a water ball and turned it into ice ball. But he made a fire ball. "Tengu fire ball," he said. He blasted it at me. Before I could dodge the fire ball, it hit my left arm; I screamed. Winter was surprised and jumped on to the ninja's face. She wrapped herself around the ninja's neck. The ninja was coughing I quickly ran to him. "Winter no don't! Let go of him this instant." I saw Winter letting go of his neck (slowly). I picked up my katana (in case the battle was not over) and ran to him. "Are you ok? I'm so sorry." I asked surprised that Winter will do that just for me. "I'm ok, but what the juice, you didn't to set your snake on me. I know this is a battle, but not to the finish." I cried then kneeling in front of him. I saw everyone looking at us. Winter looked at me then at the ninja. I stood up now stopping myself from crying. "Remember what I said before and the next time I meet you, be prepared." I slapped him; "I hate you!" I threw a smoke bomb on the floor. I was in the girls bathroom. "That ninja is an idiot." I saw Randy coming out of the toilet too. "Hi, Sandy. What did that snake actually doing to the ninja?"

"How did you know that?"

"Changing the subject! Hey want to hang out after school?" he said. He held me left arm which was burned from the ninja. "Ow! Please don't touch there. Sorry but I already told you no. I have and experiment to do anyway."

"I'll help you." He offered. "No! I mean ok fine but, you have to act cool." 'I have to see if the hair matches his.'

After school…

The rain stopped. I saw Mandy was running to me. "Hi Sandy, so you're bringing a boy home." She asked me. I blushed "It's not what you think! He's just helping me with my project."

"Right that's why." She said smirking. I blushed redder. "Oh, look Will's here." I was trying to avoid the subject. "Get in the car but you have to explain why he is coming." William said in his over-protective voice. "Oh she is my partner for a project." said Randy. "Fine get in the car." William said giving up.

Back home…

"Come on Randy, let's go upstairs to my room." I said. We raced upstairs and into my room. I locked the door. "Why did you lock the door?" he asked. "Because the experiment I'm doing is very hard so you get the idea." I answered. Winter slithered into my pocket and took out the flask. "Thank you Winter. Randy it's better you stay out of my way for a while." I told Randy. He looked surprised; "I let you to come to my house because I think you are the ninja, Randy. Admit it Randy. I know and I've only been here for two days." I argued. "Winter make sure Randy doesn't get in my way." Winter jumped onto his head. I examined it. I wrote down notes:

It's purple and that's all I need to know.

"Hey, Randy I found out who is the ninja and it's you. How surprising."

"Sorry but it could be someone else." he tried to throw me off with a lie. "Don't lie to me Randy. I knew it. I'm so happy." I leaned on him. "Just stay here in my room Randy. I need to do something, Winter take care." I ran to Mandy. "Mandy, I need your help."

"What's wrong, Sandy!"

"Mandy, left arm is burnt." I pulled my sleeve up. "Oh my god! Sit on the chair and I'll get the first aid kit."

"Ok." I saw Randy running to me I quickly pulled my sleeve down. "What do you want?" I asked Randy. "I heard a scream so I came to what's the problem."

"It's nothing just go." Something shocked me with realization. "Isn't Winter keeping you in my room? What did you do to her! Randy!" I screamed. Mandy ran to me. "What's wrong Sandy?"

"Nothing Mandy." I admitted. "Sandy, pull your sleeve up."

"Not if Randy's here." I said. "Fine I'll leave." Randy left the room.

After Mandy was done putting on the bandage…

"What did you do to Winter?" I said opening my eyes. Randy was sleeping on the couch. I walked around the room looking for Winter. I looked under the bed. "Winter, there you are. You are supposed to take care Randy." She showed me her tried face. "Fine you can sleep." I left the blanket on Randy. I went to bed too. I checked the calendar on the wall. 'No school tomorrow. Cool, I need some time to heel my arm anyway.' I went in my walk in wardrobe and wore my pajamas and went to bed.

2 am…

'It's 2 am. I can't sleep. Randy's not up, I can just play a song.' I went to my piano and played the song the lonely.

2 am, where di I begin?

Crying off my face again

The silent sound of loneliness

Wants to follow me to bed

I'm a ghost of a girl

That I want to be the most

I'm a shell of a girl

That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again

Too afraid to go inside

For the pain of one more loveless night

For the loneliness will stay with me

And hold me till I fall asleep

I'm a ghost of a girl

That I want to be most

I'm the shell of a girl

That I used to know well

Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again

Broken pieces of

A barely breathing

Story

Where there once

Was love

Now there's only me

And the lonely

Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again

"Nice song Sandy. Are you really lonely?" I heard Randy say. "Don't scare me like that. You gave me a heart attack. And yes I'm lonely because my friend didn't like me anymore since I came here."

"The song said that you danced in an empty room. Would you like to go to the prom with me?" he said. I blush very hard.
