Wednesday, September 4th, 11:45 am

I was tired as shit. Why do I have such an addiction with anime? It's like I need nicotine gum, but for the anime addict. It's getting to be a big problem too. I need to join Animolics Anonymous. That bad. I stayed up until 4 in the morning last night. One of these days, my laptop hard-drive is gonna blow. I have animes stored in alphabetical order. And I organized the other folder by rating. Aah, the life of a animèniac slash math wiz.

Anyways, I woke up just a few minutes ago. The other guys have been up since seven, they're so paranoid about the girls next prank. I grabbed myself a can of Mountain Dew and ate some of the leftover bacon Zach made. That was right after I ate a bag of skittles. Must be why I have zits galore, and I'm friekin 21, not some pubescent high schooler!

Wednesday was break day for me. Only two classes. One at 1:00, the other at 3:30. Other guys had morning classes, and, luckily, I had geometry and calculus today. It's what I love.

I started my morning routine. Changing out of my Big Bang Theory Tee and red plaid boxers, to a pair of Levi's, my mathletes tank, sperries, and brown leather blazer. I whipped out my can of Barbasol and razor. My rat stache grows back almost instantly, and I like a clean cut face. I spiked my hair with some of Ray's mousse which I would sneak occasionally. Putting in my green colored contacts, as I hated wearing glasses, along with my ashy grey eyes. I was almost ready to go, but with an hour to waste, I sat down with the guys.

"So what's up with you all?" I announced.

"Welcome awake, sleeping beauty." Said Kevin, sarcastically.

"Hey, I had an anime marathon." I defended.

"Again?!!!" Josh chimed in.

"Once a week." I reminded.

"Well, we were just watching the WWE morning showdown. The Undertaker is on later, but I'm more of a Cena kinda guy." Said Raymond.

I sat down and stuffed my face with hot Cheetos (Jacob's favorite). Even though I wasn't a huge wrestling fan, I did enjoy a few body slams and head locks here and there. Roy came in the room, punching the air with half a 5:00 shadow and shaving cream smudges.

"What's going on?" He started. "No classes?"

"Except for Chase," answered Ray. "He just left."

"I swear there's something wrong with that boy. Always trying to get out of guy things. You know, meat, wrestling, normal hued hair, the list goes on. It's almost like he's purposely trying to be different, Anyway, what class?"

"He didn't say," answered Jacob in a susceptive tone.

"Well, I guess he's going to miss out on my Tex-Mex omelets I'm going to make you guys."

Everybody groaned at once. I was going to have to pass on this one. Roy was the only one who liked his cooking. How you mess up a simple breakfast food, I'm not quite sure, but he'd manage. We all started saying the same thing. "You know I'm not really hungry." Followed by, "uh, I just ate." And such.

"Wow. Nobody? Anybody up for a healthy smoothie to go?" Now, a healthy smoothie to go meant exactly what it sounds like. Healthy shit stuffed in a mug. Last time he put spinach, lettuce, prune juice, and SOUR cranberry juice together. It tasted like a horse's ass to say the least. Not that I've ever actually tasted a horse's ass.

"You know, um, that's ok. I already brushed my teeth." Was my excuse, as I shoved more Cheetos down my throat.

"Ok guys. So, any idea on what those crazy females are up to?" Ray asked aloud.

"Uh, I haven't gotten anything from my sisters. They're super defensive of Claire. They think if they leak information they'll drop a level on the popularity chart. I told them that stuff doesn't matter. They answered: and that's exactly why you're number 529 and we're in the 120s." Chris mentioned.

The guys started laughing.

"What's 529 mean?" I asked.

"Idiotic dude class." He answered.

At that point, even Roy lost it, he snorted I think.

"Alright guys, I guess I'll go. I like to have some one on one time tutoring Alyssa, if you know what I mean." I chuckled, giving an eyebrow furrow.

"Oh, I know what you mean," said Ray. "Get some good info on those girls."

I sighed. That was NOT what I meant. Alyssa sucks at math. I'm great at it. She's hot. We both like anime. Bam! Relationship. So no one judged me I went along with it. I grabbed my L.L. Bean bag and headed out.

Well... That was a complete bust. I tried to get closer to Alyssa in class, but her and the few friends she has in that class all sat together so no one else could sit with them! Prank Week was getting reallyannoying.

Since the only classes I had were at 1 and 3:30, my second class of the day was right after my first one. It just so happened the school decided to make them on opposite sides of campus, so if I wanted to make it to class on time, I had to either run the whole way there, or find some sort of short cut. Lucky me though, being the math genius I am, studied the map of campus and was able to plot a route that shaved 30 seconds off my travel time!

Checking my watch to be sure I had enough time, I set out for my next class.

I was about half way to my class, when I passed one of the science buildings. Part of my plan was to go around the back and then cut through a lawn, but when I got to the back, I was greeted by the sight of Jacob pressing a girl up against the side of the building, making out with her.

I would have just passed by, but two things made me stop. One, it was Jacob. He never told us he had a girlfriend or even liked anyone! Two, the girl looked sort of familiar, but I couldn't figure where I had seen her before.

I checked my watch again, and found that I only had a few more minutes to get to class, and I would be late if I didn't get going. Running away, without them ever seeing me, I looked back one more time. I looked back just to see them both come up for a breath and reveal that the girl was Emma. One of Alyssa friends...

Hey everyone. am soooo sorry that we haven't updated in whileWe have just been so busy this summerHopefully now that school has startedwe will be updating more often. Now I know that sounds strange, but when I am in school, my plans are more definite so I can schedule some time to write where as in the summer time, everything is fairly random.

Thanks you to everyone who has kept this story in the their library this whole time, or at least archived it. We really appreciate it and maybe if we start posting more often we will get mor reads? I don't know.

Hope you guys like it. Nat wrote the first part (the morning). And I wrote the second part (the afternoon). See ya!
