Friends

The door to classroom D slowly slid open as the teacher walked in. There was a look of confusion on her face as she looked at the scattered desks that where all over the room. Her eyes where scanning the classroom when there gaze stopped on Ren.

"Oh my god Ryuuichi are you okay what happened to your face!?" She said while running over to him.

Everyone turned around to look at Ren with dark gazes.

Putting his hand on his head and sticking out his tung Ren said "Sorry teach it was my fault, you see I've been having really bad luck today so when I walked into the classroom I tripped over my feet and hit my face on the desks. Sorry I didn't put them back in order."

Everyone's dark gazes turned into those of confusion as they were wondering why Ren had lied.

Looking at Ren with a worried look on her face she said "Well are you ok?"

"Yeah teach I'm just fine."

She then looked up and around before asking the whole class "Hey does anybody know where Kenji and the girls are if there not here soon they'll be counted tardy?"

Everyone was about to spill the beans about the fight when Ren spoke up "Sorry teach that's also my fault, see when I was falling I kinda bumped into Hayama and he also fell and hit his head so the girls took him to the nurses office I'll go get them if you like."

Looking at Ren with a happy look on her face the teacher grabbed his hands and said "Yes that's a great idea and you should also get your head checked out."

A little creeped out by the teachers sudden action Ren pulled away and quickly walked out of the classroom.

The teacher went to the front of the room and said with a smile on her face "I was so worried that he wouldn't make friends but he seems to be so worried about Kenji, maybe it's the start of a great friendship!"

Everyone's faces showed equal amounts of gloom as they all let out a depressed chuckle.

***

As he was walking down the hallway he heard a voice call out to him from behind

"Ryuuichi wait up."

He glanced around to see shiny floating silver glow approaching him, he kept walking.

"Ryuuichi!!!"

As soon as the figure behind him started to yell Ren could see the nurses office so he stopped and waited for the figure to catch up.

As soon as the person reached him he felt a hand on his shoulder and a soft voice saying "Good morning Ryuuichi how's your day?"

Slightly laughing Ren kept his face away from the girls view.

"What's wrong to embarrassed to look at me?" The girl said with a smile on her face.

Giving in Ren turned around while saying "Good morning Makabe, sorry I really can't stay to…." His words were cut short by Makabes voice whose kind Tone shifted to an angry one saying "What happened to your face Ryuuichi."

Putting his hand on his head and sticking his tongue out Ren said "I kinda tripped and fell in the classroom."

"You expect me to believe that you just tripped." Makabe said while her tone was growing ever colder.

Looking behind Makabe Ren saw that she was with other girls at the time so he tried to cut the conversation short.

"That's really what happened Makabe." He said with a smile on his face.

"Don't lie to me!" Makabe yelled while starting to cry.

Startled by her actions both Ren and the girls behind took a step towards her before she continued saying "You expect me to believe you when your smiling like that."

Ren stopped moving.

"What do you mean he?" He said with a blank expression on his face.

Dropping her tear filled face and looking at the ground she said "You never smile like that, not towards Toka and especially not towards me."

Giving up completely at the sight of Makabes appearance Ren says "Your right Makabe i didn't trip and fall, I got into a fight okay."

Looking at her friends Makabe says "can you guys leave me and Ryuuichi for a little bit.?"

Nodding to her request the girls all turned around and walked down the hallway.

Turning back around to Ren she said "why. Why did you get into a fight."

"I don't really feel like talking about this right now Makabe." Ren said as he turned around and started to walk towards the nurses office.

Once he got in front of the door Kenji saw him and stood up as did the rest of the girls that where in there. They started to say something but where cut off by another voice yelling at Ren "Why are you being such a jerk Ryuuichi!"

Kenji and the girls where confused when they heard this and a little curious as to know who said it. Ren stopped in front of the door and turned around to face Makabe who could not be seen by the other students.

"I already told you Makabe I'm not talking about this with you." Ren said as he walked into the nurses office.

Everyone was looking at him when they saw the tear filled face of the beautiful silver haired girl enter the room and grab Ren shirt collar.

She yanked him around then brought his face close to hers that way he could only look at her and listen as she yelled at him saying "did I ask if you wanted to tell me why you got into a fight? NO! I asked why you got into a fight."

After this happened Ren snapped and started yelling "AND I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT MAKABE!!!"

After hearing Ren yelling at her she started to cry even more but he kept going "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU ASK ME THAT?! AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY THAT IM JUST A NO GOOD SON OF A BITCH WHO CAN ONLY ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS THROUGH RAGE, SO STOP ANNOYING ME AND GO AWAY!!!"

Everyone went silent, there wasn't a single sound in the room. Ren finally snapped out of it and realized what he had done.

"Makabe I'm s…" he was cut short by Makabes voice.

"Don't, don't apologize when you don't even mean it I'm sorry I'm such an annoying little girl to you." She said as she let go of his shirt collar and took off running while slamming the door on her way out.

A few seconds after she had left the room was still quiet when one of the girls tried to make fun of Ren but before she could speak a word a sound of a fist hitting flesh reverberated throughout the room.

Everyone looked at Ren who had just punched him self in the face harder than Kenji had earlier before hearing him say "stop standing here like a damn fool and go after her." He said before punching himself again. After he hit himself a second time he looked up turned around and ran towards the window.

He saw Makabe running across the sidewalk out side of the building. He opened the window and jumped out of the second story building landing on his feet and taking off after her.

"Makabe!"

"Makabe!"

"SARA!!!!!"

Makabe stopped as soon as she heard her first name.

She slowly turned around while looking at the ground.

She saw Rens feet quickly get closer and she his arms shadows fly at her quickly. She flinched but was surprised when all she felt was two hands gently grasping her shoulders and heard a voice saying "Hit me."

She looked up at Rens face as he continued to say "let it all out just hit me as many times as you want till your satisfied."

She then crumpled up her little hands and started to hit Rens chest while she started to cry again she hit his chest over and over again while screaming at him "YOUR SUCH A JERK ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF MY FRIENDS AND THEN I SAW YOUR FACE AND I GOT WORRIED REN!!! I GOT WORRIED THAT YOU WHERE HURT BECAUSE YOUR MY FRIEND AND FRIENDS LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. BUT THEN YOU STARTED YELLING AT ME AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

Looking at her crying face Ren punches himself in the face again. After seeing this she stopped crying and asked if he was ok but the only thing that he said was "Makabe I'm so sorry please forgive me."

Punching him in the chest one last time she said "I'll forgive you, but only if I get to call you Ren from now on."

"Alright Makabe that's fine by me."

"Alright then Ren, I forgive you." She said with a smile on her face.

"Hey Makabe?"

"What is it Ren?"

Looking away from her Ren said "if you want you can bring those friends of your up to my room later today me and Kai where going to watch a movie… And your welcome to join."

Smiling brightly Makabe cheerfully chirped"that's a great idea but…."

Her that gleaming smile of hers kinda faded as her statement did

"But what?" Ren says looking back at her

"What's your room number?" She asked

Putting his hand on his forehead Ren started to laugh, Looking up at him with a look of complete confusion Makabe asked" What's so funny?"

Ren started talking while laughing saying "that's right!! You can't come to my room if you don't know what room it is."

A few moments passed as Makabe sat on the ground and Listened to Ren laughing

"Here." Ren said from above her handing her a piece of paper

"What's this?" She said taking the paper

Walking away Ren said "oh, it's my room number along with my contact information in case you can't make you, you should at least have a way to tell me."

Getting up to chase after him Makabe yells "Hey where are you going!"

Ren stops walking and turns around before saying "well back to class, isn't that kinda obvious stupid."

"Wait class…. Ahhh crap I'm so gonna be late!!! Sorry Gotta go see you tonight!!" Makabe yells while running away.
