I don't own OHSHC

Due to lack of inspiration (and any idea where to start looking) the chapters will be fillers until a suggestion on where to start is made or inspiration strikes. There will be plot to the fillers though. Just no hosts.

Middle School (dialogue is in English. Anything not in English will be in italics and labelled)

Jasmine sat staring at her friend of two years. "Jasmine come on just tell me."

"Shannan I'm not sure what to say, are you sure you want me to answer? It won't change anything."

"Jasmine, I'm not asking you to change anything just explain why you're not outraged. I'm outraged."

"It's not a surprise to me. I have known this would happen to me my entire life, so that it is happening to you, who is in many ways in the same position as me is not all that outrageous."

"What?!"

"Most of my friends in primary school were engaged. Not always for very long, but it was normal."

"Were you ever…?"

"No, Mother wanted me to finish middle school first. That and father will want me to be in Japan for the arrangements."

"So, you will end up…"

"Marrying someone I don't love? Most likely."

"But that seems barbaric, marriage is a sacred union between people who love each other not…"

"A contract?" Jasmine sighed. "Arranged marriage is in some ways better, it's about cooperation rather than passion." A smile. "I will marry someone who won't expect me to love them, as long as I can stand to be in the same room as them for more than twenty minutes then…" Jasmine shrugs and looks at Shannan.

"So I should be glad it's someone I know?!"

"No you should be glad it's someone your friends with. What if it had been…Sean?"

"Gross!" Jasmine laughed.

"Smile Shannan, it could be worse." Shannan shook her head and looked away.

"I still won't accept it." Jasmine sighed and glanced at the clock.

"We have five minutes until lights out, I need to go."

"Goodnight."

"You won't do anything stupid yeah?"

"Goodnight Jasmine, I'll see you in the morning." Jasmine looked at Shannan.

"Goodnight." Jasmine stood up and walked out the door.

"I'm sorry Jas." Shannan whispered at the closed door. "I just can't"

Jasmine woke up to screams. Well they were shrieks more than screams but Jasmine wasn't awake enough to tell the difference.

"Jasmine get up you have to see this." There was banging on her door.

"Jasmine are you awake?" A different voice. Jasmine put her and on the table she left next to her bed. Her glasses were sitting where she left them this time.

"I'm awake, what's going on?"

"Shannan, she pissed of Veronica somehow."

"Do you know how?" Jasmine opened the door to see Beverly and Ruby.

"Yeah, Shannan and Blake are engaged."

"What?!" Simultaneous shrieks.

"It was announced yesterday."

"But Blake's dating Veronica!" Ruby gasped.

"Not anymore." Jasmine ran a hand through her hair. "Why is it so loud?"

"Veronica confronted Shannan and then Jeannette and Marlene got involved and Shannan said something and they all started yelling and then the Matron wadded in and they just got louder." Beverly stoped to breath.

"Oh God." Jasmine turned around and pulled on her coat. "Where are they?"

"In the bathrooms." Ruby turned around and started walking down the hall. Jasmine followed jogging slightly to catch up with the taller girl.

As the three arrived at the dorm bathrooms there was a sudden quiet.

"Ver, calm down, we knew this wasn't going to be forever."

"But Blake, we love each other!" Veronica was standing on one side of the room. Shannan and the Matron on the other. Jeannette and Marlene stood behind Veronica glaring at Shannan and Blake stood in the centre of the room facing Veronica.

"We like each other, yeah but I'm not sure that's love." Blake shoot his head and turns away slightly. "You okay Shannan?"

"Not really." Jasmine steps into the room.

"Shannan." She almost growls.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Shannan sighed.

"Hey Jasmine." Blake waves to the short girl.

"Blake." Jasmine nods in return and looks towards the matron. "Is Shannan in trouble?"

"Not today dear, but this had better be the last of this issue." The older woman glared at Veronica, then at Shannan.

"Yes ma'am." Jasmine replies and walks over to Shannan. "Come on, let's go get dressed."

All the girls blink and look down at their clothes. Shannan blushes and Blake stares fixedly at the floor.

As the day drew on more and more people glared at Shannan and Jasmine. Blake, when he was in the same class as the two girls seemed to be getting the same treatment. Veronica, who spent most of the day sniffling in her seat was surrounded by her classmates. Shannan would glance at Jasmine on occasion, going so far as to suggest they sit separately at lunch. Jasmine waved away Shannan's concern and smiled at her friend.

"Things will cool down soon enough."

They didn't.

Jasmine found her self surrounded by Veronica's classmates the next day.

"Why are you still friends with that boy stealing bitch?" The tallest of the girls spits at her.

"Because she wanted this as much as Veronica did." The girls scoffs and crowd closer.

"If you continue to be friends with her you'll end up in the same boat."

"So?"

"Just do the smart thing, ditch the loser." Jasmine looks at the ceiling.

"Is the air thinner up there?"

"Huh?"

"Well you're so much taller than me, I was just wondering if the air was thinner at that altitude."

"Bitch!" Jasmine stepping away from the grasping hand.

"Girls! What is going on here?" A matron storms towards the group.

"We were just talking." Jasmine spoke up when the other girls seemed slow to answer.

"Well that kind of language is unacceptable." The matron glares at the taller girl. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I'm sorry, I won't say it again." The matron nods sharply.

"If I hear that kind of thing from any of you, you'll find yourself in detention. Am I clear?"

"Yes ma'am" The girls look at the floor.

"Well of you go, you shouldn't be loitering in the hall ways."

As the days past, Jasmine and Shannan found themselves ostracised. Jasmine took it in stride, Shannan became angry. Jasmine waited for Shannan in front of the door to their classroom a week after the whole thing started when Blake walked up to her.

"If you're waiting for Shannan, she's not coming."

"Why not?"

"She yelled at Veronica in front of a matron and was suspended."

"For yelling?"

"For slapping Veronica when she ignored her." Jasmine sighs and nods at the boy.

"Thanks for telling me."

"Whatever." Blake walks of to be greeted by his friends. Jasmine slipped into the classroom. Feeling more alone than when she at least had Shannan to talk to.

The phone call came later that week.

"Jasmine I'm not coming back, dad's sending me to a different school. I'm still engaged to Blake, we just won't see each other until high school."

Jasmine hung up and flopped down on the bed. She had only three weeks of the term left and she would be leaving for Japan and high school, but she wasn't sure she could deal with the silence that long. Jasmine reached for her phone.

"Hey Tai, um, can you help me?"

And done. Why Jasmine saw 2A's reaction as not so bad.

As always, thanks for reading
