"Talk about a rude awakening." TC began her rambling as Mangle prepared, ready to stop her from making any crazy decisions.

"Those guys are such idiots! Not to mention rude. That boy called you short when he's not much taller than me! The nerve of him! And he's the one who was begging me not to make a big deal when that other jerk ran into you! I should go tell the principal about this-no, I should-"

"TC," Mangle said, stopping her before she could put her plans into action. She knew she wouldn't hesitate to do anything crazy. "They said sorry, and I'm not hurt, everything's fine. I'm just glad I don't have to socialize with anyone right now besides you."

TC sighed, looking to the side as her mind clouded with thoughts. "Sorry...I just get really worked up when someone hurts you."

"I know." She replied humorously. "I'm thankful for it, you just make scenes sometimes."

"Hey!" TC elbowed her gently. "What's that supposed to mean?" She responded with laughter behind her voice, sounding much more happier than before.

Mangle rolled her eyes playfully a bit after. "At least we got away from those two. Think we'll have class with them?"

"Probably, at some point in our schedule. Just hope it's not a lot. I wouldn't be able to deal with it." She slipped out a pack of gum out of her pocket, and put one in her mouth. She offered one to Mangle, but she shook her head.

"What happen anyway?"

"So, they both came speeding into the parking lot, bolting. They bumped into you, well, more like crashed, Toy Freddy was the one who did the crashing, and you hit you head on a pole and passed out."

"Did they ever get where they was going?" She asked sarcastically, looking around in case of another crazy pair of teens running around.

"No, I made them help me take you to the Nurse's office. Can you believe it? They wanted to just leave right then and there! I had a witness too, but he said nothing, kinda walked away in a hurry when he saw everything."

She frowned at this, and tightened her grip on her book bag. "He did nothing? Maybe he was getting a teacher?"

TC scoffed. "If he was he sure was taking a long time. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to switch schools."

After that, it was quiet. She became lost in thought, her mind clouding with memories and worries. She didn't realize when it happened, but she lost TC. She looked to her side, and she wasn't there, not on the other either. She turned around, and she didn't see her trailing behind. When she turned forward, she bumped into yet another hard structure, built and still. This time she didn't pass out, but she felt like she should have.

Gorgeous amber eyes, warm and welcoming. Kind and beautiful. Sweet like candy, but deep, with a story behind them. She wanted to stare into them longer, but she was lured away.

"Mangle! What happened? You were right next to me then gone!" The tug on her arm pulled her away to strong sky blue eyes, TC's.

She turned back to the boy, opening her mouth to speak, but no words came out for a while. She was admiring him. He had red hair, long for a boy, pulled back into a ponytail. A small thin beard, and a nice build.

"Uhm...look, I gotta-"

"SORRY!" She had said it much more louder than she had wanted to, and swallowed quickly. "S-sorry, I was daydreaming. It was my fault."

He quickly waved his hand, probably getting worried about her frantic state. "It's fine, it's fine, but I gotta go. Sorry, bye."

And just like that, he left. The thing she felt like she could call a god left, leaving her with a desire to see him again.

Another blond girl, whisked past them, which Mangle began to catch the eye of. Violet, an odd shade of color, but who was she to judge with her eyecolor? Her eyes were a look of concern, but also suspicion. Another beauty too. They must've been together by how fast she was following him. Hopefully not dating. That was two people on her list she wanted to talk to.

"You make the best first impressions." TC said, with a heavy note of sarcasm.
