Tomoko was currently being distracted by thoughts of Yuuka Aoki, an underclassman who normally came by during homeroom to give Tomoko her latest sample of sweets. Yuuka was pretty chubby with a full face, light brown hair, and hazel eyes.

Since she hadn't stopped by to drop off her usual gift of tasty treats,Tomoko assumed she would drop off her samples later. Tomoko huffed abit as she leaned back in her chair before glancing at the door to the classroom again, looking for that idiot to burst in and cause a scene. She shook her head as the door didn't open again as the second bell rung.

'He better be dead or injuried.' She thought as she turned her attention to the homeroom teacher who was giving instructions about something she wasn't really paying attention to when suddenly the door to the classroom was loudly slid back. 

Silence followed as everyone, excluding Tomoko who decided to let her head hit the desk in front of her with a thud, looked at the entryway as Yamato strutted in before flashing a smile.

"No need to worry teach," he said going to his seat near the window, "for your favorite student has arrived!"

'Moron, you're barely even passing this class.' Tomoko thought as she gritted her teeth and looked in the opposite direction of his seat. 

The teacher gave a deep sigh before turning her attention back to the board, some of the students glared at Yamato before turning around, and Yamato decided to poke his already irrated friend.

Tomoko could feel the pencil's eraser jabbing her neck and she tried to ingore it as it started to press a little bit harder into her neck.

She let out a low growl, a warning.

The pencil retreated for a bit and, for a while,Tomoko relaxed and was about to pick up her head when she felt a sharp point go into her arm. She quickly sprung up and turned to face him, her teeth bared as she slapped her hand over the area of her arm. Yamato waved with a dopey smile on his face before noticing the blush on her face, completely ignoring the fact that she was glaring at him.

He abruptly stood up, causing the chair he was seated in  to scrape against the floor.

The teacher sighed again before saying, "Takahashi, please sit down."

"But teacher," he began, completely confident before facing Tomoko who was still red faced, glaring, and seated as Yamato gestured to her. "how can I sit when Tomoko Goto, my childhood friend, has something she wants to tell me."

"Do you really think it's apporiate to do this during my class?"

"Of course."

Tomoko stood up and grabbed Yamato by his tie, dragging him out into the hallway and slammed the door shut behing her.

The steady silence that was among the students was broken by the teacher who asked, completely serious, "How long do you think before she kills him?"

----------------------------------------

 Outside, in the hallway, Tomoko was glaring intensely at her idiotic childhood friend, who was currently preoccupied with fixing his tie. After he managed to fix his tie, he turned to face her before clearing his throat.

"Yes Tomo?" He asked as he took a step closer. She rubbed the bridge of her nose while sighing, her head was starting to hurt from the sheer amount of stupidity she was being exposed to today.

'Is this what it's like to be Kaede?' She thought as she noticed that Yamato kneeled in front of her. She looked a him blankly before he began his speech.

"Tomoko Goto, as my childhood friend, I wanted to let you know that I-"

"Kindly shut up." She said bluntly before she balled up her hand into a fist. She smacked him on the top of his head before kicking him in the shin and elbowed him in the back causing him to fall to his knees. Tomoko then sat on her knees to the side of him, she gave another sigh before she said, "You're 18 years old and I'm pretty sure your delusions of grandures have gotten worse since, what, pre-school?"

She threw a glance towards Yamada who was still curled up in a ball. She rubbed her neck while looking up and away from his figure. She continued, "Not to say that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's..."

She trailed off, as if trying to find the right word to say before settling on, "Extremely annoying."

As soon as she said that, she flinched before apologizing.

"Either way, you're a pretty smart and funny, but you got to stop with the delusions. It's off-putting and, I don't know, kind of try-hard which is really... weird? Gross? Listen, it doesn't really matter. I'm just trying to tell you that while you're probably a good person, you are also extremely narcissistic and that's really fucking problematic because you're going to get your ass beat one day and..."

She looked down at her lap and fidgeted with her skirt and mumbled, "I would hate for that to happen to you."

There was a moment of silence before Yamato spoke up again, he reached out and took her hand and in an attempt, that would kind of only be romantic in those weird yet cheesy romance shows and movies, tried to kiss her.

He was rewarded...

With a knee to the crotch. 

He quickly kneeled, holding his crotch, as he let out a high pitch squeak. Tomoko glared back at him, kindness and all general forms of softness vacant from her face.

"Ugh! You know what? I take all that back! If anyone is going to hurt you, it's going to be me!"

----------------------------------------

 Lunch break occured after math and Tomoko Goto, being of violent mind and hostile body, needed somewhere to relax. She made her way up to the roof. She sighed as she sat on the ground, a few feet away from the entryway of the roof. Her head pounding and her stomach growling. She gave another sigh, this time in disappointment with herself.

She had forgotten her lunch at home and it hadn't dawn on her until the end of math that she didn't have it. She could've brought a school lunch, but she didn't want to spend because, in past experience, she had a hard time keeping what the school served down.

'Guess I won't eat today?' She thought, pouting slightly when a sudden exclaimation. 

"Tomo!"

She turned around to see a chubby girl with short light brown hair that curled slightly against her cheeks and hazel eyes. The girl was holding a small cake sampler box and was smiling brightly.

"Ah," Tomoko said as she gave her a smile back. "Hey, Yuuka."

"I brought you some cakes to try for me." She said cheerfully as she sat next to her. Tomoko nodded as she took the box from Yuuka who leaned against her, still smiling. 

"Thanks Yuuka," she said as she opened the box. "I thought I might stave today or something."

She looked in the box and was happy to see tiny array of decorative cakes, some were decorated with fruit while others were decorated with chocolate and little candy shapes. Her amber eyes started to well up with tears as she grabbed a small strawberry short cake slice, she lifted the piece to her mouth, ready to take a bite when she suddenly felt a hand smack her on her back.

Which caused a shockwave that ran from her back to her leg, the reaction being that Tomoko spung up and the box of cakes fell from her lap.

She turned around with a dark look in her eyes to look at the culprit, only to see Kaede who was staring at her blankly before pointing towards the entry way where Yamato was slowly trying to sneak away. She grabbed the back of his collar and when he was towards her, he saw amber eyes glowing with unbridled rage and he made an attempt to defend himself.

Not that it helped when her knee came up to his gut.

He coughed and went to kneel, but was quickly supported by Tomoko who growled out, "You're lucky I still have this strawberry cake otherwise, Yamato Takahashi..."

She trailed off, mostly for dramatic effect as she whispered in his ear, "Or your ass would be grass."

However, due to the amount of exciement and the closeness of death, Yamato passed out and around that time, a seagull swooped down and stole Tomoko's uneatened cake piece. 

"Motherfucker!" She exclaimed as she aggersively slammed Yamato's already unconscious body onto the ground.

Yuuka ran over while Kaede simply walked with a look of complete indifference until she was close enough to see the damage done to her brother's face.

"Damn." She mumbled as Yuuka crouched to make sure he was alive however there was some satisfaction from watching her brother's nose which was bleeding heavily, practically soaking into his white button up shirt. All three girls had different reactions to the scene in front of them.

Yuuka was reasonably worried, afterall, she had just witness an unconscious boy get slammed face first into the ground and was now bleeding heavily from his nose. However, both Tomoko and Kaede looked fairly annoyed as Yuuka suggested that they take Yamato to the nurse.

Both sighed as they saw Yuuka run down stairs to get the nurse.

"All this over a piece of cake?" Kaede asked, giving Tomoko a sideways glance. Tomoko quickly juped to defending herself by saying, "It was a damn good, multiple pieces of cake I never even got the chance to taste, thank you very much!"

"I thought childhood friends were suppose to be nice to each other?"

"Ha," Tomoko laughed a bit before saying, "shows what you know. I'll have know that I've been successfully kicking your brother's ass since preschool."

"Nobody stopped you?" Kaede asked as she opened her bag and pulled out a bag of chips before passing them to her.

"Everyone, including your brother, just thought I liked him"

"That's stupid. If you liked him, why would you spend so much time kicking his ass."

Tomoko shrugged before eating some chips. "Sometimes I think about this stupid thing he told me in elementry school. It was on the first day too."

"What did he say?"

"He said and I quote, 'You're my childhood friend and that meant you won't hurt me'." She said before taking another bite of the chip in her hand. "And then I kicked him in the shin and told him 'I'll do what I want'."

Kaede smirked a bit before looking down at her bother.

"I always knew you were stupid." She said while shaking her head.
