*Misa*

Humming, I walked out of the classroom and didn't even bother to pick up a sandwich. Glancing over I saw Luna creeping back to the class. I smiled and shook my head. Secret relationships? How...interesting. For a moment of two I contemplated following her, but decided against it. What they did in their personal time was none of my business.
I scratched at the table and sung silently to myself.
" What'cha singing?" I looked up and smiled at Gaia.
" For fruits basket. A song for my friend, Tohru's, tv show." She propped her legs on the table.
" Sounds nice."
" Thank y-"
" Sounds like crap," Buttercup scoffed. I glared at her and pratically hissed.
" Eff off, Teacup!" She walked up to me, her shoes banging heavily on the ground.
" Wanna say that to my face, Blondie?" I stood up and knelt down on my knees.
" Eff...off."

Buttercup

I thought back a little bit. Jenny was right. If I fought my way through my time here, I'd be nowhere. All I could do was chill out, unfortunately. Even though it meant not getting a chance to punch Blondie in the face.

"Eff...off..." I told her. She walked off to a seat. I never turned down a fight, so I was ridiculously pissed more than ever, but I still managed to hold my anger in. Fighting would get me nowhere. I needed to play it differently to get out...I needed to play this smarter.

My plan was that after the lights go out, I'd find something in the lab to get the gloves, socks, and glasses off. Then, I'd just fly out, and try to find Townsville. I didn't know where on a map it was, but there was only a few large cities on the coast, I guessed, so it shouldn't be too hard if I flew fast enough.

I took a bite into my grilled chesse, and it was the strongest and angriest bite I had ever taken. Biting was the strongest thing I could do without causing attention. The last thing I needed was to be detained the night before my planned escape. It was going to kill me, but until after bed time, I was going to have to be...nice.

I shuddered as I thought that last word. I took another angry bite into my sandwich as Gaia started singing again. Forget Blondie, I'd throw Gaia through a wall if she didn't stop the annoying singing.

***Umm guys, I think you've kind of got Gaia all wrong, she's pretty socially awkward actually and doesn't start conversations...ever.***

Gaia

That little 8 year old girl was annoying. She was in like pre-k but she had the nerve to curse.

"Eff..off Blondie!" she growled before going off to an empty table and snarling at her sandwich. What a weirdo. But of course, I'm not one to talk...I wonder what Ed is doing right now. I started to absentmindedly hum something and picked at my pants.

"Yo! Tough girl! Shut-up already before I hurl you into the wall" the power puff girl screamed. Whoa. Somebody's got anger issues. I gritted my teeth and stood. I walked over to her and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck.

"Listen you 5 year old little monster, I don't want to be here anymore than you do. I'm sure Mojo jojo is waiting up for you with the Blossom and the red head. The thing is that you're started to get on my nerves and if you don't shut your mouth soon, I'll shut it for you. Got it?" I said angrily. She just nodded and I dropped her and stalked out of the cafeteria.



**Just noticed something, all the characters we picked all either need counseling, have serious mental problems or have have traumatic pasts. Or all three. :)**
I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

xD You're right!

Zuko>>>

I was touched by Luna's coming in and bringing me food, so the least I could do was pretend to pay attention to the bubble-shnurggles or whatever. "Sure," I said, taking a bit out of the sandwich. It wasn't to bad. Before she could start, though, I interrupted her. "Hey, how do you make one of these?" I asked, still munching on my sandwich. She smiled moonily at her half of the sandwich, and told me. I nodded. Aang would LOVE these things. No meat. I laughed to myself as I thought about how Sokka would react if he had to eat these.

"What are you laughing about?" Luna asked me, taking a delicate bite.

"Oh, just my friend. He loves meat, so he'd probably hate this." She nodded as if she knew Sokka herself. The bell rang, and I stood up, walking towards the door. I turned back, Luna wasn't following me. "Aren't you coming?" She shook her head, still smiling. "Oh, ok. Well, thanks for keeping my company." I smiled and waved at her before walking into the hallway.
Is he dancing with a little boy in spandex?!

Luna

I decided to stay back in the classroom. I needed some time to think. I wanted to be back home again, I wasnted to be with daddy, and Harry and... before long I was in tears. I couldn't take it anymore. I tried to be nice, but everyone just was so mean and starting fights and...

The teacher walked in the room. She sat down beside me. She put her hand on my back. "Are you okay sweetie?" She asked.

"Leave me alone!" I shout, standing up. This was very out of character for me.

"What...?" the teacher says.

"You heard, stay away. You took me from my family, and my home, and my world. You stupid, dirty muggle!" I screamed. I ran out the door into my room and began to cry again.

I have just finished the worksheet and I decide to get up and stretch a bit. That was when I hear a voice. Something about a muggle? Huh? I walk over a few steps where I see a petite blonde girl, her face burried in her chest. She's crying.

I sit down next to her and pat her shoulder.

"Is everything alright?" Selina asked.

"I miss my dad and my friends and hogwarts and Wackspurts and..." I sobbbed some more. She put her arm around me.

"Cheer up, you have me...and you and Zuko seem..."

"Don't talk about him. I try to be nice but it is obvious he soesn't give a flying feather about me."

"You have some strange expressions."

"There only strange to you."

"Maybe they are, but, well, some is here to see you." It was Zuko, standing at the door.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I sigh when I see the boy. I figure I should go, but I give her a word of advice.
"Don't feel down, please. I don't like it here either that much. Nothing is the same without Bruce. But anyway, we should just try to make the best of what we have. Maybe you'll be back at Hogwarts soon."

*Misa- Can I make a new char?*

I sat down, silently cursing myself for causing a scene. What time 'till lunch was over? What time? What-
The bell rang, inturpting my thoughts and I jumped forward a bit. Tea- I mean Buttercup was slouching in a corner, everyone else rushing around her. Swallowing my pride I got up and walked towards her.
" I'm sorry," I mumbled. She growled at me and I took a timid step back," sorry, sorry. Just wanted to apologize. So, bye, I guess." I turned tail and carefully walked away. Well, that wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.
I passed by Zuko, he was standing in a room with Luna and Selina. I turned to greet them, but when I saw the tears on Luna's face I decided not to interrupt.
What class do I have next? I tapped my finger on my bottom lip. Music? Yes, music! My favirote class! Getting a good grip on my bag I jogged down the hall.

Buttercup

It wouldn't have been so bad, I thought to myself. I should've apologized back, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I've only said sorry twice in my life, and it pains me to say it every time. Besides, I was just not supposed to get in a fight, not be a little prissy princess.

Thankfully, the last part of my day they forced me into was music; since it wasn't academic, and they needed to do something with me for the last bit of time after lunch, so they put me into the music class.

Everyone else was already in the class. Everyone liked this class, strangely enough. I liked it, and everyone seemed to, but considering how much a lot of us hated each other, we somehow stopped fighting during this music class.

I sat in my seat, and opened the usual case right next to the chair, taking out my bass guitar. I was actually really good at it! In a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if I had the skills to become a great bass player, like...

Well, I'd become one!

I did my own little bass riff to warm up, and everyone else was doing there own thing to start. We'd be forced to work together and perform the most butchered pieces of crappy music class music in the world. We were all pretty good in something, and I'm sure in some smaller groups we'd actually make some good performances. But the bright side of the large and terrible group was that there wasn't any need for conversation between us.

Which is why I was pissed when the music teacher said, "We're going to have a few free classes for a week or so. I'm going to put you into groups to perform a piece of your own choice, and then you'll perform it for the rest of the class in a few days".

I grunted and slouched in my chair. Hadn't I been in enough contact with everyone here? And I wasn't the only one who was pissed, from the looks of it.

The two things I said here are actually completely true! I've only heard Buttercup say "Sorry" twice in the TV show, and she has played bass guitar before (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbK0c21dC_E)

Sweet! Time to introduce:

Name: Haru
From: Fruits Basket
Persona: Generally laid back, nice, sweet, charming, but a bit monotone. But, when he goes black Haru he's evil, destructive, and manic.
Pic: http://www.freewebs.com/saikio/Haru.jpg
Other: A kick-ass fighter. Usually would turn animal form when someone hugged him, but his curse was broken.

Okay, time to bring him in.

Haru:
I looked down at my schedule then up at the door number. Music this period. Sighing I drug myself down the hallway. Room 5, 6, 7- ah, 8! I walked in and groaned when all movement ceased.
" Class," the teacher called," this is Haru." I gave a two finger wave and moved to the corner, picking up a gutair and strumming a few notes. I just wish they'd all stop staring.

Zuko>>>

After sitting and uncomfortably watching Luna cry for a few moments I slunk out. I felt bad for her, but I wasn't good at...feelings. And helping people with their...feelings....and stuff. I sighed, brushing my hair out of my face, making my way to music class. I liked it enough, but it wasn't as good as firebending, or flying on Appa, or even just hanging out with my friends. Thinking about them mad me mad all over, so I slammed into the classroom, drawing every one's attention from some kid playing guitar.

"What?" I growled, stomping over to a drum set.

"We're, um, making songs!" Someone from the crowd pipped up.

"Gre-at," I said, rolling my eyes. Just what I needed, civil conversations. Misa walked up to me, and I tried to keep myself from biting her head off.

"....Zuko?" She asked, still a good three feet away.

"Misa?" I snapped back. I really needed to let some steam out, preferably by reducing who ever put me in here into a pile of ashes. I took a deep breath, trying to get myself under control. I hadn't been like this since I was fourteen...

"Well, em...Yea. You're on fire." She said, taking another step back.

I looked down at my hands and, sure enough, my fists were engulfed in flames. I cursed myself before willing the fire away, then looked back up at her sheepishly. "Sorry," I said. "I didn't burn anything, did I?"

I smiled wearily and glanced behind Zuko.
" No, you didn't burn anything," I jerked my head towards the teacher, who was near hysteria," but you did freak her out." He sighed and clenched his fist together and mumbled something I couldn't quite catch over the noise of everyone else. I'd like to think he apologized, but one can only hope. He jaw clenched and unclenched again and again.
" You can calm down," I glanced around the room," you didn't hurt anyone. Stop beating yourself up, kay?" I smiled and made a step towards him, but he recoiled back just a slight bit, but I noticed anyway," Sorry," I whispered," just trying to cheer you up." I chewed nervously on my bottom lip, a mannerism I've acquired, and went to sit back in my seat. I looked up in time to see him simmering out and smiled slightly. At least I didn't have to worry about this place going to hell, quite literally I might add.
The new kid was sitting in the corner. Haru, I think it was. Yeah, that's it. I listened to the notes he was playing and a light bulb went off in my head. I know that song! Hell, I wrote that song! I moved a bit closer to him and started singing along, ignoring the weird stares people threw me.

After a minute Zuko left. Eventually I got up and went to Music class. I didn't pay attention, I didn't want to. I didn't play any music. I was never given lessons.

The next class passed by like a blur, everything seemed to. Life began to mean less and less.

Then Selina came up to me, "Stop mopping, cheer up!"

"Why should I?"

"Because you might get out of her quicker."

"I will try, thank Sel."

"You are welcome." I now walk through the halls with a slight smile on my face, and it is all because of Selina.
