"And it's like everybody hates me!!"
"Riiiight." Oni-chan gave the phone a sideward glance, "I'll talk to you latter, k? Bye."
With a slam, the phone hit the reciever and she was free of the world of teen drama.
"Ready to go yet?" A maternal voice called from the living room, "We're going to be late!"
"It's a crazy world out there, Squeeky."
She sighed, squeezeing the demonic rubber duckie.
"Squeeeeeek!" said Squeeky.
"I'm comming Mom!" Oni stood, picking up her bookbag.

"You think it's really going to snow?" Charles asked, absently stareing out the window.
"I doubt it." Ookami-chan shrugged, takeing a hopefull look for herself.
Of course nature was waiting to hear that, because at that exact moment, white flakes bagan to fall.
"Ooooooh....sparklie softness..." Oni-chan pressed her face to the glass, causeing it to fog up with her breath.
"Students" the intercom came on overhead "It's snowing...really hard...and it's really cold. Really really cold...go home."
"Wheeeeeee!" was the collective resopnse.
Everyone gathered their coats and bookbags.
"Everyone" being: Charles, Meggie, Ookami-chan, Kevin, and,of course, Oni-chan.
"it's really comming down out there." Meggie remarked, pulling on multi-colored gloves.
"No joke." Charles agreed.
They smiled at each other shyly and blushed.
"I don't wanna go home. I wanna stay and learn!" Oni-chan pouted, takeing Kevin's hand.
"Well, then let's not." Ookami-chan suggested.
"Okay," Meggie nodded, "What should we do instead?"
"We can always go trumping around outside creating mishceif."
"Score!" Oni agreed, "I'm in! You guys commin?" she looked over at Charles and Kevin.
"Naw. I gotta get on home." Chuck answered for them both.
Everyone said their good-byes and the three girls were left standing in two inches of powdery snow.

A change of setting. Now our dynamic...trio are walking through a small strip of woods.
It's really cold too.
Yep.
Cold cold cold.
"You like him! Admit it!" Ookami-chan grilled our dear Meggie.
"Well...yeah..."
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Meggie blushed.
"Wooo-hooo!" Oni-chan shouted, falling forward and rolling down a small hill.
She stopped at the bottom, at the edge of an empty corn feild. The other two girls ran forward.
"Are you okay?" Meggie asked.
"Oniiiiii-chaaaaan" Oookami poked her with a stick.
"I'm so fucking unmedicated." Oni laughed, rolling over onto her back.

Simotanieously, the three chikas looked up the barrel of a rather large shotgun.
"This here is private propery." An overall-clad farmer slurred.
He turned his head breifly to spit tobacco juice.
"We didn't see any sign." Meggie puzzled.
"It's right tcheer." he held up a soiled cardboard sign.
"Oooookkkaaayyy."
"It says 'Tresspassers Will Be Shoot.'"
"So we read."
"What you tryin' to say?!"
"Huh? Nothing! I swear!"
"Don't be talkin' 'bout my momma!"
"Uhh..."
"I'm goin' to shoot y'all now."
"Wait!" Ookami-chan threw her arms up "We're really sorry, Sir!...And to prove how sorry we are, I'm going to quote the Bible, okay?"
"Go on ahead."
"Alright...the good book says:' Noteth rain, nor sleet, nor ...dark of night with keepeth thou from thine apointed rounds."
The redneck gave them a slack-jawed stare and cocked the hammer of his old gun.
"I can see you're not a beleiver."
"You have five minutes to turn tail and run."
