MY FIRST FANFICTION! HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

Chapter One

"NOOOOOOOO!" I scream. Panting and sweating, I look around. I'm in my room and sunlight's coming through the window. I had that Nightmare again, the one where Naru left me crying by myself in the forest after he told me I loved Gene not him. I look at my alarm clock and sigh deeply. 9:48 AM… I'm over an hour late for school, but then again why do I even care? I lazily get up from bed and take a shower. After my refreshing one hour shower I put on my school uniform, which I sort of pimped out because I cut the shirt, making it short enough to show my pierced belly button. I throw on my big black combat boots and brush my dyed black hair, which now reaches the middle of my back. I hear my cell phone ring and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Mai, get your little ass to school." An overly familiar male voice says.

"Taisuke, listen don't-" He cuts me off, anger evident in his voice. "Mai get your ass to school and that's final. You're barely passing and being late every day doesn't help. Be here in 15 minutes or else." He then hangs up before I could even talk back to him. Taisuke is the school gang leader. If you go against him, he'll beat you the living crap out of you, therefore going against him isn't an option unless you don't value your life. Now I remember why I should care if I'm late, when it comes to school he doesn't joke around.

"Shit!" I finally realized if I wanted to get to school in 15 minutes then I had to run because walking takes at least 20 minutes. I grab my keys and run out of my apartment running as fast as I could to school.

I burst through the classroom door just making it in time.

"Miss Taniyama you're late once again." The teacher scolds me.

"Miss Hata you're stating the obvious once again." I say mocking her tone.

She turns red from anger.

"YOU HAVE DETENTION AFTERSCHOOL! AND IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT SKIPPING ONCE AGAIN YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED ONCE AGAIN!" She yells. What's with her and 'once again'? Sheesh.

"Yeah, Yeah. Whatever." I take my seat next to Taisuke, my boy best friend who's glaring daggers at me with his beautiful green eyes.

"What?" I ask innocently.

"Mai, you know that you've already been suspended twice. If you get suspended again, you'll be expelled." He whispers angrily.

"Fine, I won't skip, easy as pie." I smile. He smacks me on the back of my head hard.

"Ouch!" I say holding my head.

"This isn't something to smile about Mai. Starting tomorrow you're gonna come to school on time, stop talking back to your teachers and bring your grades up, or you're off the gang, for real this time. Is that clear Mai?" His voice is so cold and serious and for a second I'm scared.

Uh Oh, I've done it now, he's really pissed.

"Y-yes.."

He sighs, running his fingers through his light brown hair. Taisuke is quite serious about his school work even though he's the leader of a gang. His grades are always first in the school and I've never seen him disrespect a teacher before. He has plenty fights on school grounds, but he's never been caught. Both students and teachers love him, but only I and the other gang members know this is just an act. He has to put up an act or he'll be sent right back to military school by his rich parents. Taisuke is the only son of a man who runs over 10 companies all over Japan. In middle school when he started coming home with bruises and his school grades dropped and he was expelled for fighting, his father sent him to military, which he probably had bad experiences in because he has never really told anyone about what really happened in military school. I think his has a split personality, in school he's smartest and most nicest guy you'll ever meet, but after school he transforms into a cold hearted beast.

Well expect for me, his only best friend. After Naru dumped me in the worst way possible, I sat in the park balling my eyes out. Two guys from another school tried picking me up and I refused, but they keep pulling me along with them. I got pissed and hit them with my extremely heavy purse on the back of their heads. Just when one of the guys was gonna hit me, Taisuke stepped in and knocked both of them out cold in less than 30 seconds. I got all teary eyed again and started crying on Taisuke. He listened to me and took care of me and then we just clicked. We became the best of friends and he taught me how to fight to protect myself.

"Mai Taniyama please come to the principal's office." The loud speaker calls me. Shit what did I do now? I haven't fought on school grounds for two weeks now, I'm on a freaking roll! I did nothing. Taisuke looks at me.

"I did nothing!" I say. I get up and grab my books.

"I'm going with you to convice the principle not to expel you." He sighs.

"But I really didn't do anything! I swear!"

He grabs my books and carries them for me.

"Let's go."

I sigh deeply. Today is just not my day!

I slam open the door to the principle's office.

"Listen principle. I did nothing this time! I swear it! I haven't got into a fight in two weeks!" I shout desperately defending my self already.

"Mai Calm down. You're not in trouble."

"I'm not?" I ask confused.

I see two tall dark shadows by the window. My eyes slightly widen in surprise and horror. Blue eyes meet my honey brown eyes.

"Hello Mai." A familiar cold voice says.
