"...Ok, I know that my friends have more then a few opinions about Toshiro, I mean, Tomas, but still, just because I'm hanging out with him, doesn't mean I'm dating him, seriously. Toshiro doesn't even like me like that anyway, so why do I even care? This is such a stupid argument that seems to come up every time I begin to become friends with a guy. Virginia and the others always find a way to make it awkward for me and the guy. I swear, if they make it weird what so ever between Toshiro and me, then I'm gonna be mad, no kidding. Because he and I both know that there's nothing like that going on, and nothing ever will happen. End of discussion, period. But, as I say that, why do I blush?..."

Madison's Perspective
Madison yawns as she gets out of her mom's car, her sister following close behind her. She looks towards the steps up towards the steps leading to the walkway into school, and sees Toshiro waiting, leaning against the stone. She quickens her pace and meets up with him with moments.
"Hey." she says as she runs up the steps.
He turns and begins to walk with her.
"So, what do I do?" Toshiro asks.
"Just follow me. Remember your name?"
"Tomas White."
"Good."
Within moments, they're inside the building, turning into the old gym where most of the p.e. classes take place. After turning out to be in one of the hallways, lined with red lockers meant for 7th graders, they quicken their pace as they run a staircase diagonal from the gym exit, and right before the entrance to the band area. Soon after turning into one of the 8th grade hallways (made known by the blue lockers), Madison finds herself running into people she could of gone without seeing.
"Hey, Madison!" Cree's familiar voice says into her ear as she appears besides them.
"Oh, hey Cree." Madison responds.
Cree smiles, before noticing Toshiro walking next to Madison.
"Hey, who's this? I've never seen him around before." Cree asks.
"Oh, this is Tomas. You know, the one I told u about." Madison responds, pointing at Toshiro.
Cree smiles.
"Oh yeah, Hi Tomas, I'm Cree, Madison's best friend." Cree says as she reaches across Madison to hold her hand out to Toshiro.
Toshiro responds and puts his hand in her's, shaking firmly.
"Tomas, nice to meet you." Toshiro says as he pulls his hand from her's.
"So, where are you two headed?" Cree asks.
"The attendance office, Tomas is a new student, so he has to get his stuff." Madison answers.
"You know, I could answer." Toshiro comments.
"You don't know where we're going what-so-ever." Madison argues.
"You could at least let me answer the questions meant for me." Toshiro states.
"Oh, Shut up." Madison answers, all of them turning the corner.
Cree chuckles to herself.
"Wow, you two act like an old married couple." Cree comments.
"No we don't." Madison and Toshiro say at the same time, causing Cree to laugh more.
"Wow. Well, I'm gonna leave you two to your business, see you at lunch." Cree says as she walks off, leaving the two of them alone again.
After a few moments, Toshiro finally breaks the silence.
"She seems nice." Toshiro says as they walk into an office, a large desk sitting in front of them.
"Yeah, she is. Trust me, out of all of my friends, she's the most normal. Virginia, not so much." Madison says as she turns to face the lady at the deck.
"Hello Madison, who's this handsome young man?" the lady asks.
"This is my friend Tomas White, he's a new student." Madison responds.
"Hello." Toshiro says, grinning.
The lady smiles.
"Nice to meet you, now, lets look for you in the database." the lady says as she turns to her computer.
Toshiro looks worried. He leans over to whisper in her ear.
"But I'm not the database." Toshiro whispers.
Madison chuckles.
"Found you, Tomas White, grade 8, 14 in only 6 days, and moved from Japan, nice." the lady says.
Toshiro's eyes widen in surprise.
"Now just wait here while I get your new class scheule." the lady says as she gets up and walks to a room behind her desk.
Toshiro turns towards her.
"How am I in the database?" Toshiro asks.
"Last night, I broke into the database and made you a fake file." Madison explains, smiling.
Toshiro grins.
"Impressive." Toshiro compliments, causing her to laugh.
Within moments, the two find themselves in their advisory, being Mr. Bailer, their later social studies teacher. Madison goes and puts her stuff at her desk, before returning to Toshiro's side.
Soon, Toshiro and Madison are in their own designated seats, right next to each other in the back of the class. The class soon becomes hushed as the morning announcements come on, followed quickly by the pledge of allegiance. As the words cross her lips as they have since she was in kindergarden, she looks over to see that Toshiro, well, is having a harder time. When they stop and and pause for a moment of silence, she makes her voice cross his mind.
...It's a pledge that we say here in America, I'll help you with it later...
Toshiro nods and sits with everyone else as the voice ends.
...So, what else do I need to know?...
Toshiro's thoughts go across his mind, meant to be read for her. She grins.
...so much Toshiro, so much...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiro's Perspective
11:18 a.m.
He quickly throws his stuff into his locker directly across from Yattamori, not wanting to be left behind by the only person he knows. As he closes the door, he feels an arm grab him and begin to pull him away.
"What the-?" he says as he turns to se see his abductor.
He falls quiet when he sees it's Yattamori, laughing at him for reasons he doesn't know.
"Why are you pulling me?" Toshiro asks.
"Because, I didn't want you to get lost on our way to the cafeteria." Yattamori answers, releasing her grip.
She reaches into her jacket pocket, then slaps something into his hand. He looks down to see green strips of paper, markings on each side.
"What's this?" he asks.
Yattamori is surprised by his question.
"It's money. Three bucks, and 50 cents." she answers.
"Oh, well, why are you giving it to me?"
"You want to eat lunch, don't you?"
"Yeah."
"To do so, you have to pay the lunch lady at the end of the line."
"Oh, alright." he answers as they begin to walk down a grand-like staircase, a beautifully done mural on either wall, the wall in front of him having what he guesses is the main entrance.
He turns when she does with all the other kids, and walks down a ramp type walk to exit into a hall with the red lockers lining the walls, two double doors opening and closing in front of them that must lead to the cafeteria. He holds the door as he walks in to see many tables lined up into different sections of the room. Kids sit at all the tables, filling them up within seconds after being empty. He feels Yattamori pull him through some groups towards one the larger tables in the center of the room. Though only one girl sits there now, he has a feeling that because of Yattamori sitting there, there must be at least 6 other girls that fill the table, making him feel a bit on edge. Within seconds, he finds himself sitting amonst a bunch of girls, including the girl named Cree, staring at him, making him feel just as awkward as he thought it would as the girls just kinda stare at him.
"Madison?" one of them asks.
"Yeah Virginia?" Yattamori asks.
Virginia points at him.
"Is this Tomas?" she asks.
Yattamori nods.
"Oh, so you're the famous Tomas." another girl says.
Toshiro feels himself slightly shutter.
...What the heck did she tell them?!...
"Hi, I'm Anna, nice to meet you." a blonde next to him says, smiling.
He grins.
"Thanks, I'm Tomas." Toshiro lies.
He watches as a slight blush rises to Anna's face as she turns back.
"Here, let me introduce everyone. Ok, going from your left side, that's Anna-" Yattamori starts.
"-Hi." Anna says again.
"Kaylee." Yattamori continues.
"Hi Hi." Kaylee responds.
"-Bianca." Yattamori says.
"Hey." Bianca answers.
"Hannah."
"Yo." Hannah responds.
"Virginia."
"Hey." Virgina answers.
"You already know Cree."
"Hello again." Cree says, smiling.
"And everyone knows me, ok, let's go get food." Yattamori says as she gets up from the table, soon followed by the others.
Toshiro once again feels himself being pulled up from his arm, looking up to see Yattamori smiling. Slowly she releases, and they come to a stopping point behind other people there.
"So, Tomas, are you and Madison dating?" Virginia asks.
Both of their eyes widen in automatic surprise and slight disgust.
"No way!" they both yell at the same time.
Toshiro looks over at Yattamori to see that her cheeks are slightly red, meaning she's blushing.
For the rest of the way through the line, the two don't speak, the atmosphere now awkward because of Virginia's question. Luckily though, Cree finds a way to start a new conversation that lightens the air, causing the two to forget the awkward situation totally.
When the lunch period finally ends, the group finds themselves walking back towards the steps. As he laughs at Yattamori and Virginia's stupid argument, he finds himself pulled away from the group. At first, he thinks it's just one of Yattamori's friends, maybe Anna or Kaylee, but when he turns around, he finds a girl he's never met before.
"Uh, hi." Toshiro says.
He looks over the girl. She has jet black hair, straight as a b-line with a clip keeping her hair out of her eyes. Her eyes are a alert gray, mysterious in a way that he can't fathom. She wears a purple 80's tee, one shoulder exposed as the top hangs loose over her body, matched with dark wash skinny jeans, black chucks as her shoes. And for some reason, she has a lot of piercings in her ears, rings of silver and purple rhinestones sparkling in the light, and kinda making him on edge.
"Hello there. What's your name, new boy?" the girl asks.
"Uh, Tomas, Tomas White." he answers, feeling weird using the fake name.
The girl chuckles.
"Well Tomas, it's nice to meet you. I'm Kimmi, Kimmi Joice." she says, moving her arm up her side, making him feel awkward.
"Nice to meet you Kimmi, sorry, but I need to get to my next class-" he starts as he begins to walk off.
Kimmi pulls him back hard, almost dislocating his shoulder.
"Tell me, Tomas, why are you hanging out with such a nobody like Madison Shecker?" Kimmi asks.
He feels the hairs on his neck stand.
"What's wrong with her?"
Kimmi smiles, chuckling darkly.
"So, you don't know, do you?"
"Know what?"
"That Madison Shecker and her little groupies are the most hated bullies in the school."
His eyes widen.
"What?" Toshiro asks
"It's not your fault. Her group always goes out for the new kids, especially the, well, good looking ones." Kimmi says as she pats his shoulder.
"What's that mean?"
"Whenever there's a new kid, her group immediately seeks them out. If they like the kid, they allow them to join the group, if they don't, they boot them to the bottom of the popularity food-chain."
He begins to feel anger boil inside him.
"But hey, don't worry, I got to you just in time. Now that you know what she's up to, I'm sure you'll no longer be hanging with her, so why don't we become-" Kimmi starts as she reaches to caress his face.
"Enough." Yattamori's voice says, her tone dangerous as a hand stops Kimmi's before it reaches his face.
They both turn to see Yattamori holding her wrist, staring her down with hate in her eyes.
"Get away from him Kimmi, right now." Yattamori says, her voice that of anger itself.
Her tone causes Kimmi to back up, but now leave. She frees her wrist from Yattamori's hand.
"Why do you still fight the truth, I've already revealed your little plot, so there's nothing you can do." Kimmi says, before rest her head against his chest, surprising him, and rising Yattamori's temper, "He's my friend now, so beat it, scank."
Yattamori cracks.
Without regret, Yattamori grabs Kimmi by the neck and slams into the wall, releasing and surprising Toshiro. He looks to see her eyes burning like blue flames, rage taking over her body as she tightens her grip.
"How dare you-" Yattamori starts.
"Your eyes, they're blue again! How is it that you do that?!" Kimmi breaths, trying to get air.
Toshiro's eyes widen. Kimmi had said again.
...she's done this before?...
He immediately reacts.
"Yattamori, stop!" Toshiro says as he loosens Yattamori's grip enough for Kimmi to get free.
Yattamori blinks and gasps slightly looking around as her eyes turn back to hazel. She looks up at him.
"Huh? What? What happened?" she asks.
His eyes widen again.
...she doesn't remember what she's done...
"Shecker!" Kimmi yells.
Yattamori turns to be met with a slap to the face, causing her to stumble into Toshiro.
"You little wench, I'm gonna get the dean on you, you hear me?!" Kimmi yells.
"Kimmi, stop." Toshiro commands, taking Kimmi by surprise.
"Why do you defend her?! You saw what she did-" Kimmi says.
"-You pushed her to her breaking point!" Toshiro yells back.
"What I say is true-"
"-It's all false!" Toshiro snaps, "Yattamori would never use people like that, so shut up!"
"Yattamori? Who's Yattamori?" Kimmi asks.
His eyes widen.
...oops...
"Toshiro, that's enough." Yattamori say as she stands straight.
He looks over at her.
"She isn't worth it, let's go. We're gonna be late for Social Studies." Yattamori says as she turns back towards the stairs.
"But Yattamori-" Toshiro starts.
"-I said that's enough." Yattamori snaps, taking him by surprise, before she calms, "Come on Toshiro, please."
He sighs.
"Fine." he answers as he walks up behind her.
"Toshiro?! Yattamori?! What are you two talking about?! What's going on?!" Kimmi yells, "Trust me, I'll find out, one way or another.
Toshiro listens as he hears Kimmi's stomps trailing away in the other direction, causing him to sigh greatly.
"Dang, she's a lot of work-" he begins.
"-Don't trust her." Yattamori interupts.
"I know that."
"Good, she's manipulated so many girls that used to be my friends into hating me. I don't know what I would do if I lost you too."
Toshiro stops.
Yattamori isn't the type that gets easily upset, she's always been the laid back type who could get over anything. But lately, she seems so emotional and off for some reason. It's worrying and kind of depressing as he thinks about, making him on edge. The carefree spirit of Yattamori's has begun to fade away into emotional off and on known as Madison Shecker, and he hates it.
He walks over to her side.
"Don't make fun of me."
Yattamori looks surprised.
"Do you really think I'd stop being your friend after something like that? I think that if I can see past Devena, I'm probably never gonna leave."
Yattamori stares at him for a moment, before smiling.
She chuckles.
"I think this world is beginning to rub off on me." she says before looking back up with him, "I know that by now, and it's the same for me. Thanks Toshiro, you're a true best friend."
Toshiro feels his cheeks begin to become hot. He turns away.
"Uh, yeah, d-don't mention it." he says.
His studdering causes her to laugh, happy tears beginning to appear at the corners of her eyes.
He smiles.
Ok, he might of exaggerated just a tad on the emotional on and off thing. As he thinks back, Yattamori has always kind of been like this. Happy go lucky most the time, then every once in a while, having a tiny break down from all the bad stuff that's escalated over time. And, as he still thinks back, he realizes that most of her breakdowns have one same reason.
Him.

Yattamori stares at him for a moment, before smiling.
She chuckles.
"I think this world is beginning to rub off on me." she says before looking back up with him, "I know that by now, and it's the same for me. Thanks Toshiro, you're a true best friend."
Toshiro feels his cheeks begin to become hot. He turns away.
"Uh, yeah, d-don't mention it." he says.
His studdering causes her to laugh, happy tears beginning to appear at the corners of her eyes.
He smiles.
Ok, he might of exaggerated just a tad on the emotional on and off thing. As he thinks back, Yattamori has always kind of been like this. Happy go lucky most the time, then every once in a while, having a tiny break down from all the bad stuff that's escalated over time. And, as he still thinks back, he realizes that most of her breakdowns have one same reason.
Him.
