Lunch today, for me anyway, was akward. Hikaru and Maaya weren't at lunch, so I was left with Pablo, Haru...and Ken. Pablo left at some point and I was supposed to go to the library with him. Yet, I did not go with him. I stayed. Ken was concentrating on his homework, so I was left to talk with Haru.

"Hey...Haru...time?" The bespectacled boy ignored me for a moment before glancing at his watch.

"Twelve o'clock." He replied, turned away from me. A few seconds passed in silence.

"Now what time is it?" He sighed deeply.

"Ask me in thirty seconds." I nodded and stood there dumbly for awhile. And then an upperclassman approached us.

"Do any of you have pets?" she chirped, clutching a clipboard. I winced, ever so slightly, but replied.

"Four cats." "A turtle." "Two dogs and two cats." We all spoke at the same time, so the message was jumbled. She cocked her head to one side confused, but continued.

"Well...do they do anything weird?" None of us said anything and then I suddenly remembered an old pet of mine.

"OH!!!! My bunny's head exploded!!!"

"You sound really happy about that..." mumbled Haru. My smile faltered, while the interviewer stood in shock.

"What????"

"My. Bunny's. Head. Exploded."

"Do you have any pictures?"

I eyed her crazily. "Pray you tell, why would I have pictured of that gruesome event????" She shrugged, and then turned to leave.

"Well...okay then...bye." It was then I noticed Ken laughing. My heart started pounding faster. Stop...it's just Ken...you should be over him by now.

"What time is it?"

"Twelve Fifteen." Silently I was thrilled to be leaving.

"Okie, well...fare thee well!!!" I picked up my school bag and hurriedly left them.

After School

Somehow, I was walking home with Haku and we got to talking. About Ken, of course.

"Actually, Ken never said that. They were talking about some e-mail or something." E-mail? And then it clicked. Ken had sent me an e-mail a little after we started dating. The e-mail was basically telling me about how he felt. Not that kind of "how he felt." Something just explaining some things he had on his mind. But... why would Pablo be asking about it? I only printed out on copy and I only gave it to Hikaru who showed it to Dareu and Hiro. Hmm, that was most certainly odd.

"I see...so...why do you think it didn't work out between Ken and myself? Pablo and Hikaru believe it is because we are like polar opposites. Ken is "uber nice and polite" and I am...a soul selling evil bitch from hell." I chuckled at the last part. It was kinda funny.

"Why, you're just as nice as Ken is!" he answered. I smiled slightly and flushed.

"Thanks...no one's ever called my nice before."

"Your welcome...so...," he thought for a moment, "are you guys going to be eating lunch with us from now on?" He sounded a but uncertain about something. I nodded slowly.

"Yep, why?"

"Well...it's just that I don't like Hikaru too much. And that would mean having to talk to her and see her when I don't want too."

"But, why not?" I began, in a mock offended voice. "Hikaru is so perfect and kind and pretty and just. We all love her."

"Please, you're more perfect than she is. She seems more the soulseller type anyway."

"So very, undeniably true." We both laughed and then I stopped short. "Pablo is lying to me...someone is...he will suffer..." I muttered.

"Hey...I said nothing!"

"What else do you know?"

"Nothing...all I know is this conversation like happened last week."

"Last week...and he never said anything..." I suddenly grinned and turned to Haru. "Oh my gosh. I love you Haru, in a strictly platonic way of course. You have just allowed me to switch blame from Ken to Pable...that dirty...little..."

"Hey, if you love me than you won't hurt Pablo." Surprised, I stopped my angry tirade of insults.

"Very well then..."

"Get some stress balls or something."

"Doesn't help much. I shall get over it though. I suppose." With a sigh, I noticed I was well past my house. "Oh my gosh!!! I am late...and walked too far!!! Adieu to you, Haru!!!...hey, that rhymed!!!" I dashed off past him and entered my empty house, glad to be home. I entered my room and flopped down on my bed, exhausted, stressed, tired and pissed. I want to murder that boy. Pablo must die...

Next day, Latin

I want to slam my head through that wall located behind me. I want to scream. I want to shut her UP!! My head is pounding, my life sucks. I hate this stupid class. Such hypocrites. First years are not allowed to talk. But, they can being upperclassmen. Stupid hypocrites. Getting on me for talking even if its not me. They should burn in hell or go curl up and DIE!!! I raised my head to look out the window. Oh my...there they go again.

"Why is she looking over here?"

"I don't know, but she's about to get her ass beat. Fo' 'sho she is." I lowered my eyes to stare at my Latin book. So lame. Yura, the curly-haired blonde sitting in front of me, turned to face me.

"God, they are such hypocrites."

"I know, aren't they? I hate hypocrites!" Akane cut in. We laughed, which caused them to go off again.

"Did she say something about me?"

"I know she did not!"

"God, fucking conceited," I seethed darkly. They laughed again.

Later

"Well, I talked to Hiro and he said that 'yes' he did tell Ken and Pablo he read the note." Hikaru explained. I groaned.

"Perfect."

"Pablo is lying about something. He's been trying to get us mad at each other lately. And he's been lying to you about things Ken said, to get you mad at him."

"I've noticed that. What's his motive though? What could he possilby have to gain?"

"I think he likes you." Eww...gag...nasty...rank...foul.

"That...is...nasty..." I stated, practically vomiting. Hikaru shrugged and didn't push the subject any farther.

"Uh huh...hmm, oh look! There he is! Let's question the dirty bastard!" We approached Pablo with forced smiles on our faces, our expressions sickelnly sweet.

"HALLO PABLO!!!" My voice was higher and happier than normal. Pablo smile was replaced with fear.

"You are lying." Hikaru snapped, glaring evilly.

"About what?"

"About everything Pablo! You are telling so many different stories, it's not even funny!" I yelled. Man, I am pissed.

"Ah..." his voice cracked. " Okay fine...I'll tell the truth. Chise, the truth is that from the beginning..."

End Chapter...mwa...
