Sanoko smiled. "Thanks. I really just drew them how I remember them. That one is a year and a half old." She sighed slightly a little sad, but she smiled again. She really missed her parents they were really great parents. She loved them very much.

"Are you alright?" Julia asked with a sense that she had said something wrong "Are your parents alive or dead..?" She blinked out of curiousity, hopeing that she hadnt hurt her only friend's feelings.

Sanoko looked at her for a few seconds before speaking. "They're dead, they've been dead for eight years, but I'm ok. It's fine." she said with a small smile. She was fine she learned to handle it though she couldn't go to sleep at night.

Julia felt horrible, she trembled as she handed Sanoko her sketch book "i'm so" she studdered "sorry, please forgive me" Julia still had her parents, even though they didnt want her, but they were still alive "mine.. Detest me" she murmered

"No it's ok, you didn't do anything wrong. It's nothing that I won't be reminded of come bed time." she said with a smile. She was trying to make her see that she didn't do anything wrong at all to hurt her. She took her sketchbook back. "Oh...I'm sorry that they're like that." She didn't know what else to say to something like that.

"no, i love to look at your sketch book, it's full of beautiful pictures" she smiled widely, the sadness slipping away for once. For the first time, Julia felt happy and safe "How long are these classes anyways?" she giggled

"Thanks. " Sanoko said with a smile. "You draw very well as well." She then shrugged. "I have no clue, almost an hour I guess. I haven't been paying attention. So what class to do you have next? I have art."

Julia perked up and stared at Sanoko in amazement spread over her face "that's my next class too!" she giggled and glanced around the room a few times, noticing the teacher looked like he had fallen asleep at his desk as well

"Cool." Sanoko said with a bright smile. She looked around the room a few times as well before looking back at Julia.


Maoko was waiting on his next class. The bell was about to ring so he got up and started placing art books on the desks. He had forgotten to give his other class these books. When he was finished and got back to his desk the bell rang.

"isnt it wierd how you can feel so invisible one moment and like you belong the next?" her voice was shy but soft, she felt comfortable for the first time in her life. She didnt quite understand this feeling up until now

Sanoko nodded. "Yeah it is weird how you can feel like that." Sanoko gathered her things when the bell rang and stood up. She waited on Julia before walking out of the classroom and making her way to art class.

Julia had taken her back-pack with her, it was on her back before a blink of an eye and she was walking along side Sanoko "i wonder if the teacher is going to be cute" she giggled and looked over at her friend "what do you think this class will be like?"

Sanoko laughed slightly. "He might be." She never thought about a teacher being cute before, but she was somewhat attracted to their last teacher. She shrugged. "I don't know, artsy. I'm sure it will be fun if you like art." She walked into the classroom and waited for Julia to chose where to sit because she was going to chose the front, but wasn't sure if she wanted to sit there.

Maoko watched as the students came in and took their seats. He waited on the final bell before he would begin. His name was written upon the board.

Julia blushed as she stared at the teacher, she quickly snagged a seat in the front and reserved one for Sanoko, as her friend sat she leaned over and whispered "he's so.." she hard a hard time saying the words, since she was rather flustered "cute!"

Sanoko smiled and sat down in the desk next to her. She was happy to have a seat up front, it was where she did her best work. She looked at Julia and nodded slightly. "Yeah."

Maoko looked out at the class as the bell rang. "Hello class, My name is Maoko Nakata as you can see on the bored. You may call me whatever makes you comfortable. I personally don't want to be called anything that begins with Mr." He smiled slightly. "Ok as you can see there are books on your desks, those will be used throughout the year. Though today we will just be discussing art."

Julia blushed and leaned onto her hand, she crossed her left leg over the right and listened to Maoko intently. Her eyes held a beautiful gleam as she stared at him i wonder how old he is.. is he single? he's soo cute.."

Sanoko looked over at Julia for a few seconds before looking back at the teacher. She could tell that she really thought that he was really cute. She opened her art book and flipped through it while still listening.

Maoko stopped talking after a while. "You may now do whatever you want until the bell rings." He stopped talking a earlier for this class than he did his last. He sat down in his desk and began looking through another art book for ideas for the class.

pulling herself out of the daze, Julia smiled then looked over at Sanoko, her eyes had taken on another gleam to them as she blushed wildly "do you think i should talk to him after class?" desparately needing her friend's opinion, Julia wanted to spare herself of all embarrasement

"Uh...sure." Sanoko said. She wasn't sure how to answer that at the moment. "If you want me to stay behind while you do then I will. Lunch is next so I'm fine with waiting." she said with a smile. "I think I might know him anyway."

((Herm... //debates if should join or not// >< ))

Julia blushed heavily and giggled "you wouldnt mind?" she smiled sweetly, fighting the urge to just flat out hug her new friend "thank you!" she whispered in a soft tone

Sanoko smiled and shook her head. "No I wouldn't mind at all." She looked at the teacher and then back at Julia.

Maoko glanced up from the book at the two girls. He kind of wondered what they were talking about, but didn't really care that much. He looked at Sanoko thinking he had seen her before. He looked back at the book reading a bit more before closing it.

Julia's face lit up like a child on christmas, she giggled softly and looked at the teacher then at her friend as well. She waited patiently for the bell to ring, which seemed like an eternity i wonder if he'll like me, is he interested? goodness i hope he is..

The bell soon rang and Sanoko stayed where she was. She really was going to stay behind with Julia while she talked to the teacher.

When the class had left Maoko looked out at the two girls that had stayed behind. "What is it?" he asked them wondering why they stayed.

Julia stood up and walked over to him, hopeing Sanoko had really known him and would introduce her to him "well.." she said in a nervous and shakey tone "the thing is.." as Julia struggled to get her sentence out she rubbed her right arm with her left hand
