Haru looked at the kid who just spit on the teacher. She let a small laugh escape her before getting up and tapping him on the shoulder. "Nice stunt...I'm Haru by the way".

Temperance was just about to get up from playing Solataire for the second time, when Darius walked up.

"Thanks for getting my story back. Stop by my room sometime, the number is 237, and we'll hang out," he said to her. Temperance, a little baffled she'd been spoken to, looked down the hall as he went. No one had really ever talked to her before, much less a guy. She was ecstatic, shaking with excitement and nervousness. The bell rang just then, so she got up reluctantly, planted her foot on the skateboard and skated off down the hall. Next up was Math, her least favorite subject, though she was very good at it.

Darius was a little nervous after he had asked Temperance to come by his room, but anyway he focused on going to Math, his least favorite. "God I wish it was science."

Arriving two minutes early thanks to her trusty board, Temperance found a seat in the darkest corner of the back row. Something about that back row just called her name. She popped her skateboard up, sat down, put it under her feet and took out the empty Math notebook.

She looked around the room and saw Darius. She started mentally freaking out. She didn't know why, but since this guy had talked to her, she'd become nervous, if only around him. She hurriedly looked away, her cheeks growing red. Temperance's mind flashed back to the scene in the hall with him.
Room 237? Hmmm...maybe I will stop by. No, no, I can't. Wait, yeah...NO! she sighed as she argued herself. She knew she'd end up going, so she concentrated on not looking over too often. That failed immediately...

Darius looked over and saw Temperance, he was suprised to see her here. "Hey Temperance you okay? he asked in a hushed voice. He looked over and saw her cheeks were red, she looked cute....he ignored his feelings and decided to go back to sleeping at math.

Temperance's heart almost stopped when Darius looked back at her, looking surprised to see her. "Hey, Temperance, you okay?" he asked. Her blush increased as she looked over, sporting cherry red cheeks.

"Uhhh...yeh, I'm okay," she said slowly and awkwardly. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! she thought, hitting herself over and over again in her mind. She threw her forehead down on the palms of her hands, and repeatedly hit the two together. Why?! Why, can't you just act normal, Tempy?! Hmmm?

once jeff made it to math class he took a seat next to some dude named darius then glanced at temperance. he then said in such a low voice only temperance could hear "hey temp, hows it going, noticed your a little red...if you need me to whack anybody, drop me a line. heres my number" and with that, he got up, took a nail out of his backpack, stuck it threw a piece of paper with his number on it and stabbed it into the table, about a centimeter away from her hand. "remember, if someones pushin yah around, ill whack em'." and with that he sat down.
" mister jeffery, if your going to make a show like that, save it for the hall ways, and your paying for that desk." said the teacher. "Fat chance, and if you keep up the attitude, you'll be under...as in six feet. heres a quote from a song i really like 'you just flipped my switch, integrity been dissed, you scratchin on my itch, you now i shoot to get' well, that pretty much describes what your doing, and i wont restrain myself from sticking this quarter staff down your throat. ok?" said jeff
" well sir, you and that pole can leave my classroom and report to the principals office" said the teacher. with that, jeff went up to the teacher, poked him in the head really lightly, and went and sat back down.

Darius saw that her cheeks had gotten more and more red, he crouched and secretly walked over to her desk, he grabbed her shoulder "Here maybe this will make you feel better." he said giving her a poem he made for her.

"She isn't like the others, she never follows the crowd.
Her words dont show her actions, its her actions that make her words.
Her hair flows in Autumm wind, and flows without a care
She isn't like the others, she is without a care." "Hey I know it was random and some of it doesn't make sense but anyway I hope you like it Temperance."

Vincent looked up from his laptop as a couple of people decided to make cooking class into a complete gong show and rolled his eyes as he watched a boy attack the teachers and another boy urinate on the desk. This school is handicapped... Vincent thought as he continued his work. He watched as everyone left the room at the boy's discretion and deiceded to just finish his work before leaving, considering he wanted a smooth running computer for hacking and what better place to start than at a new school. He finally finished just as the bell rang and so gathered his things together and made his way to math class.

When Vincent walked in though, he noticed that the Darius kid and that Temperance person were getting all friendly while the teacher was attempting to get the class' attention, which was not working. As Vincent sat down in a different area from everyone else, he noticed that the teacher gave up on trying to get everyone's attention and was on their computer. He smirked at this and decided to mess with the teacher for a bit and maybe even get out of class. He opened up his laptop and in five minutes whipped up a quick but effective virus to launch at the teacher's computer. He sent it and watched for the damage to be dealt. As soon as the teacher opened their e-mail page, the virus would infect the computer and sucessfully delete all information on the computer's hardive. Vincent couldn't help but laugh a bit as the teacher looked in horror as their computer screen started to go fuzzy and finally die. Any attempts at getting the computer to work was pointless as it crashed. The teacher looked shocked for a bit before they turned to the class and noticed Vincent and his laptop.

"What did you do to my computer? I know you did it, the principle warned me about you but i never expected you to do anything during class." the teacher said with a murderous look on their face.
Vincent quickly wiped any evidence of his prank from his computer and started to type a response.
"I didn't do anything to your computer. Maybe you need to take better care of your things or get a new one with that pathetic salary you make. Even if i did do it, how would you prove it? And if you didn't think me or anyone else would do anything in class, you are living in a fantasy world and need to get your head out of your ass." That was on the laptop screen as Vincent smirked truned it around for the teacher to read. The teacher was trying to calm down before he pointed to the door and told Vincent to head to the principle's office. With a sastisfied smirk Vincent grabbed his laptop and exited the room.

Tempy was still in the process of cursing her idiocracy, when the kid with his Staff of Doom walked up to her. He slammed a nail with a piece of paper attached into the table/desk. "Hey, Temp, hows it going? Noticed your a little red...if you need me to whack anybody, drop me a line. Heres my number. Remember, if someones pushin yah around, I'll whack 'em," he said as the teacher got onto him. Temperance shuttered realizing how close the nail had been placed to her hand. As the teacher was distracted, Darius got up and came over. Tempy had looked up at Jeff and now saw Darius sneaking over. Oh, crap! she thought.

"Here maybe this will make you feel better," he said softly, handing her a piece of paper, one hand resting lightly on her shoulder. She looked shocked but the took the paper and listened as he read it out loud to her.

"She isn't like the others, she never follows the crowd.
Her words dont show her actions, its her actions that make her words.
Her hair flows in Autumm wind, and flows without a care
She isn't like the others, she is without a care."

Her face still showed shock, but her eyes showed awe, surprise, and joy. She wasn't warring internally anymore, her heart melting with his words. His voice just flowed so smoothly, showing the care he'd put into each word. Tempy had lost sight of everything going on, sounds as well, and was looking at Darius. He mistook her look for confusion and non-comprehension.

"Hey, I know it was random and some of it doesn't make sense, but anyway, I hope you like it, Temperance." And Temperance didn't like it...she loved it. Her heart was burning and melting and it never seemed to stop around him. As he uttered the last of his sentence, she threw herself at him, placing both arms around his neck in a big hug. Not once had anyone done something so sweet for her! She pulled away, sniffling a little, eyes watering just a tad. Temperance gave him an embarrassed smile and began to dab at her eyes. She laughed a little and said, "Hah, sorry. *sniff* That was really sweet; I love it, Darius." Tempy placed a hand on his gently. "Thank you, Darius. I really do love the poem," she said smiling.

Meanwhile, Jeff, the kid with the staff, had gotten up and hit the teacher in the head with his Staff of Doom, refusing to leave. He sat down in his in his seat, a smirk on his face. Had Tempy not been so distracted, she'd have thought it was little funny. Not the hitting the teacher, but the smirk plastered on his face as he very deliberately sat. On the other side of the room sat Vincet with his laptop. The teacher had reluctantly given up and sat at the computer. Vincet typed rapidly and suddenly the teacher freaked out, his screen going blank, and the PC not responding whatsoever.

Temperance was aware of everything going on, her head clearing up a little, sounds re-entering her world, but was still too distracted with Darius to notice anything else.

"hey Vince, nice move. watch this though...hehehe" as he said that Jeff took what almost resembled a play station portable, only a little bigger, and started typing on a seemingly wireless keyboard. after about 30 seconds the lights went out. "the electrical system is turned on and off by a main computer. and now that main computer just got fragged. Poor firewall, almost no security. sad." then the lights turned back on. "before i fragged it i transfered everything from that computer to my portable. I rock."

Temperance was still sitting, hand on Darius', when the lights suddenly went off. Uh oh... she thought, her head snapping around in all directions. This was not good. Of all things to be afraid of, Tempy was afraid of the dark. She hated it unless she was sleeping. She slightly tightened her hold on Darius' hand. It's okay, Temperance. Don't freak out. Nothing to be afraid of. There are other people here. Don't freak out. Her eyes betrayed her fear and relief as the lights snapped back on. She looked back at Darius and smiled weakly.

" if anyones afraid of the dark, im very, very sorry. just wanted to know what i can do. i promise i wont do it again,everyone." said ken. getting up and bowing very low. After that he went up to the teacher, and said "i promise it wont happen again in your class, unless i feel like it." with that said, he tapped the teacher on the head with his staff, put a huge smirk on his face, and went back and sat down.

"If anyones afraid of the dark, I'm very, very sorry. Just wanted to know what I can do. I promise I wont do it again,everyone," Jeff said. Temperance looked up as he spoke, nodded her head and smiled. She didn't want to say anything, afraid it would give her away, and that would be embarrassing. Darius already knew and that was embarrassment enough.

Darius blushed heavily when Temperance hugged him, and he held her back tightly, "I'm glad you like it, I will make many more for you though." He could see that she was very happy, "Temp...I wont let anything happen to you." He felt strange suddenly around Temperance, she was the sweetest girl he had seen here, or anywhere for that matter.

When the lights went out suddenly Darius felt Temperance clutch his cold hand, he held on and told her "Dont worry Temp, everyone is afraid of something. I'm here with you." He smiled and looked at her.

"i can replace your computer for you, sir, but only if you do something for me..." Jeff continued to whisper to the teacher. "wait, thats not fair, one way or another you get your way, and i will probably die! no." with the teacher saying that, Jeff took his quarter staff off his back and aimed it like a javelin at the teachers face. "still wanna be a jerk?" said Jeff. "fine. I have an announcement to make, class, you all pass my class for the year with B's and A's. no need to do work." with that Jeff replaced the javelin/staff on his back and went and sat down. "people are so gullible." said Jeff.

Temperance tried to replay the whole Math class in her head, paying more attention to certain details. A couple stuck out, like Darius blushing when she hugged him and saying, "I'm glad you like it, I will make many more for you though." Something struck her heavily that reminded her why her melted around him. He had said, "Temp...I won't let anything happen to you." Then the lights went out, thanks to Jeff. She wasn't mad at him for that, but it had still scared her. When she'd clutched Darius' hand, he'd held her and tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, Temp. Everyone is afraid of something. I'm here with you." Just hearing Darius' voice, knowing he was there, had comforted her. She snapped back to the present.

Temperance was smiling and looking at Darius and suddenly felt very awkward. It was one of those awkward moments that you didn't want to end, yet it was too awkward. She'd never had a boy talk to her and care for her this way. No one had ever been so sweet and sociable with her. She felt...out of place. Tempy looked away and at her desk, mentally cursing herself. So the war began again. Tempy, why do you do this?! He's a boy, for goodness sake, not some demon parasite! Must you be so stupid?

Darius realized he was getting too friendly with her and came back to reality [i] Why cant I stop thinking about her?....[i] He noticed Temperance was looking away from him [i] Could she be thinking the same thing?[i] he thought to himself. Darius glanced one last time at Temperance and smiled then quickly turned away.

"RING,RING!" rang bell for the next period to begin. "might as well make my way to... i have history next... cool." thought Jeff. as he made his way to history, he noticed a stair case leading somewhere that he hadn't seen before. he decided to go up it. once he got on top of it he found a door, which was looked. Jeff took out his trusty master key and opened the lock. once he got outside the door he realized he was on top of the school. 5 stories up. He hated heights, more than he hated humans. "no, no, no! not again, not now!" thought Jeff, really freaking out. he was so scared he couldn't move. he hated heights so much, he almost never looked at the sky. It never made sense to his therapists, but he was terrified of anything not touching the ground. It all started when he watched his foster parents skydiving. there parachutes never opened and they died.
