The Past Chapters...

Chappy 1!

"Sigh..." said young little Hikari Dawn, as she packed up her bags to leave school. Being a orphan, and having the need to look out for herself, with many job contracts, she was always the outcast, and never had much friends, even in Secondary 1. Now, in Secondary 2, carrying the position as a Prefect, things are not as simple as they seem for her now. It does not bother her much, since she IS a workaholic.

"Today, there is choir... And Kermic joined the choir too... At least we have another Bass now..." thought Hikari, as she left her classroom.

Walking pass the excited teens, chattering madly amongst themselves, she walked to the choir room to wait for the door to open. Being a VERY highly respected person, she was allowed to bring her laptop for working purposes. Although, she DOES uses it for games... Turning it on, she typed furiously to meet her deadline. The next minute, she finds her laptop gone."Working on this crap again, huh?" said a tall boy with brown hair. He began messing around with the keys, completely destroying her work. Hikari stood up immediately, in a calm and collected manner.
"Please return my laptop to me right now. I need it to do my work."

"Oh? And what will you do it i don't?" sneered the punk.

Hikari started to ponder. Although she KNEW how to fight, she was not the time that uses it over petty matters. Before she knew it, the laptop was right in front of her face, while a taller boy, most likely a Secondary 4 student stood in front of her, a strict look on his face."Leave this girl alone. And scram if you have nothing better else to do, Jonanthan." The boy named Jonanthan ran off, his tail between his legs. The senior sighed, and turn to face Hikari, who was like 3 heads shorter than him.

"I've never seen you around here before. Have you just joined? My name is Andrew. Andrew Liam." Andrew extended a friendly hand towards Hikari.

Hikari nervously took his hand and shook it."I'm Hikari Dawn.. I'm your manager of some sort..."

"Andrew!"

Just then, a shout came from near the stairs, as a lanky boy with dirty brown hair came up.

"Kermic..." thought Hikari.

Andrew gave Kermic a small smile."Oh, you're on time!"

"Like duh! I wouldn't miss choir for the world!"

"Wanna go down now?"

"Sure!"

Hikari watched silently as the two boys made their way down the stairs. She was hurt, but it did not really matter much to her, since she had experienced lonliness before, she was not really bothered by that."Everyone has their own groups... But I'm not sad... I have my work!" Smiling to herself, she began to type on her laptop. Most people would have thought she was a happy and contented child, but most people did not notice that her deep, clear emerald eyes gave off a sad glow...

Chapter 2

Downstairs, Andrew and Kermic was busy sipping their cool drinks, before their choir practice.

"Hey Kermic, what do you think of that Hikari girl? You know, our manager."

Kermic looked up at his senior with a curious look. Putting down his can of Pepsi, he replied, "Well, she's rather quiet, and seems quite nice. Why?"

A small look of concern made itself clear on Andrew's face, as he scratched his chin.

"Well, she seems... Lonely."

"Well... Isn't that her problem?"

"Oi, don't forget, we are still students of the same school. We should look out for each other too."

"Alright alright, i give. Well, what do you have in mind, wise guy?"

"Hmm... Why don't we bring her out? Hang out with her, and stuff like that... Give her a little warm feeling... And all that stuff you know."

Kermic nodded in agreement, and finished up his drink. Washing it up and throwing it in the recycle bin, he and Andrew went up to the choir room for another 'fun' day of choir...

=4 hours later=

Hikari sighed as she packed up her laptop. The conductor, Ms Ivy Lee was not very pleased with the choir's performance and lack of discipline, so she stretched the training hours. Making sure that no one had left anything behind, she packed up everything, and locked the door.

She turned around only to bump into Andrew and Kermic.

"... What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going home now?" She asked sweetly.

"Well, we're gonna take you out for some fun!"

Andrew gave a big grin, but Hikari shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I have work to do." With that, she walked off.

"Well, so much for operation "Let's be friends with the lonely girl"," said Kermic."Well, tomorrow's a free day, and the teachers DID say we can wander about school... So why don't we..." Andrew began whispering something into Kermic's ear, and Kermic gave a wide smile."Sounds crazy, but then again, why not?"

Chapter 3

The next day, Hikari typed on her laptop in her classroom. It was a free day, and the students were allowed to wander about the school premises. She usually sat at the back of the class, because she need not learn what they were taught in Sec 2, it was WAY too easy for her.

"Hikari!" yelled two voices, making Hikari jump. She turned around to see Andrew and Kermic, grinning like mad idiots. She was about to turn away when she was dragged out of her chair.

"H-Hey wait a sec!"

"Nuh uh! No waiting!"

"We're gonna show you fun!"With that, the two boys dragged off the poor little girl, who could not do anything cause her arms were caught by the boys. She sweat-dropped."But i got work to do..."

Chapter 4

Hikari retreated to her private spot on the school ceiling after being dragged away by the two naughty boys. She felt so tired.

"Why... Why are boys like this? I wish I never joined the Prefect's group... I stick out like a sore thumb... Besides... The boys there infuriate me!"

An anger mark appeared on her head as she thought back to one of the days when she had a sma;; 'chat' with Replex Timrel.

///Flash back///

"Hey Hikari, are you really alright?"

"Yeah, but I should be saying that to you Replex, you haven't been your cheerful and playful self lately. What's wrong?"

"Effects of a bad weekend, that's all."

"Haha, very funny."

"IN YOUR FACE!"

"Now you are sounding more like yourself."

"Very funny."

"But seriously, are you trying to worry the heck out of me?"

"Yup!"

"Grrr... JERK!" SLAP!

"What was that for!?"

"I had it... You guys always like to act tough, and act as if nobody cares! You always like to care for me when I'm sad, but not the other way round! Why are you guys always doing that!?" I pointed an accusing finger at Replex, who went speechless.

"I-I!"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear anymore words for you! And I always liked you Replex! I liked you alot, so i wanted you to be happy! But you... ARGH! I HATE YOU!"

With that, I ran off, crying for the first time, leaving a stunned Replex...

///End Flashback///

Hikari shook her head. She had lost control of her emotions and blurted out every single word of anger she could at Replex, about how angry she felt. She felt a tap at her shoulder, and saw the guilty culprit.

"What do you want!?"

"I'm just here to apolo-""

Forget it! I don't want your apology! I should have never joined the Prefect Group in the first place!"

"Wa-Wait! W- What's this?"

Hikari shoved her tie and badge, plus a letter into Replex's hands.

"Give this to Brenja! Tell him I QUIT!"

With that, Hikari stomped off to the staff room to enjoy some peace and quiet, while Replex stood there, tongue-tied.

"W-What have I done?"
