DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN D. GRAYMAN.

"MICHELLE BENSON, get your butt outta bed or else you are going to late for school.!"

The girl in the bed stirred and raised her head out of the bundle of blankets and took a peek at the person that was standing by her bed in her room that morning. He was a tall man with long black hair that was held into a ponytail, and he was glaring at the girl in bed. She took a long look at him and groaned, running her hand through her messy black hair.

"Alright, I'm up, I'm up. But you know, Yu, I wouldn't had to stay up that late studying had you help me with the concept of trigonometry."

"Don't call me by my first name," Yu Kanda growled and left her bedroom and out of her front door in a huff, slamming the door behind him. He mumbled something about needing an alarm clock but the girl wasn't sure because she was still groggy from her wake up call.

She propped her head back onto her pink fluffy pillow when a minute later, another head popped in her room but this time it was a redhead. The redhead leaned against the doorframe of her room and grinned at her.

"Looks like the sleeping princess is finally up." He gave her a cheeky grin.

Michelle threw a pink flowered pillow at the person standing by her door, and he quickly left the room, laughing, so she could get ready.

She got out of her king sized bed and went to freshen up in her bathroom that was adjacent her bedroom. Half an hour later, she came out of her bathroom, out of her pink pajamas and into skinny jeans and a white V-neck t-shirt, to the sweet smell of breakfast. There were three people who were at her dining table, a redhead, a silver head, and a blackhead in ponytail who was glaring at her when she steps out of the bathroom.

"Well, that didn't take forever or anything," he grumbled. Michelle stuck her tongue out at him and skipped over to her dining table to join her three best friends.

"You know, Yuuuuu," Michelle said, stretching out his name, "you could be a little nicer to your best friend. Whose going to spar with you when you're in need of a sparring partner?" Michelle had met Yu Kanda in the third grade when she was taking karate class at a local martial arts class. Even though she wasn't too happy to be taking that class, she learned a couple self-defense move in order to protect herself. The only good thing that came out of going to the martial arts classes was Kanda. Kanda had been the quiet and the kind of person who would keep to him rather than to make friends. Michelle, having the outgoing and friendly personality that she had, decided to befriend him. At first, he was annoyed but then he became accustomed to her being there, next to him annoying him, and that was how it was from then on but she knew that he cared about her and that he would always be there whether he himself knows it or not.

The redhead and the silver head shared a glance and the red head laughed at the scene before him.

"She's right, Yu. You need to be nicer or else you're not going to get a girl." He snickered.

"Shut up, you stupid rabbit." Kanda shot back at the redhead. Lavi looked at him and continued laughing. Lavi was handsome with his red hair and emerald eye. He has an eye patch that covered his right eye, no one really knows what had happened to his eye but he had that since he was little and it was normal for him to have it. Michelle and Lavi had been friends since the first time they had met in kindergarten when he saved her from the big ugly black spider and she had repaid him by giving him a peck on the cheek. They were inseparable since that kiss and even after her older brother having her older brother chase the poor boy around the neighborhood for stealing his sister's first cheek kiss.

"Now, now kids, lets eat and get to school." The silver head named Allen intruded in their conversation. Michelle had met Allen when she had intervened with a kid named Tom who was bullying Allen. Tom was the "king" of the middle school. Allen had transferred in the middle of the year and Tom thought that it would be fun to pick on the new kid. She had seen this and thought it was annoying and mean to see him picking on Allen and decided that it was time for someone to stand up to Tom. And from then on, they became the best of friends, except for Allen and Kanda, for some reason. Allen was shorter than Lavi and Kanda, but he was taller than Michelle.

Kanda was glaring at Allen from across the table for interrupting him and Allen glared right back. For whatever reason, they didn't get along and glaring contests was always common around them.

Michelle looked at the scene before her and sighs. "How on earth did I end up with friends like these?" She thought out loud without realizing she had done so. Lavi studied her and laughed.

"Well you're friends with me because you couldn't resist my irresistible charm, and as for those two," Lavi said pointing at the two man who were having a staring contest, "I have no idea what you were thinking." Lavi said with a smirk on his face.

"That's great to know Lavi, now come on or we will be late for school." Michelle said as she snatched a piece of toasted bread from the toaster and grabbed her backpack from her couch before exiting her apartment. Allen and Kanda glared at each other before grabbing their backpacks and following her out the door.
