Mangle's P.O.V.

I sighed and I close the book I was reading. Tomorrow, I will be in college. Nothing can stop me now!

Fighting!

I hope I can meet new friends. I hope they'll be nice. I hope the teachers will appreciate me. And of course, I hope I can finally found my one true love.

I heard a knock coming from the door of my room.

"Come in," I said.

"Ma'am Mangle, it's time for dinner. Your parents are downstairs waiting for you," Emily, the family's head maid told me.

"Tell them I'm not hungry," I said bitterly.

I don't want to see them. I can still feel the pain aching in my heart.

Parents? Tss.....they're not my real parents. I am also not their real daughter.

"But Ma'am-"

"I already told you I'm not hungry, Emily. Leave me alone," I said.

She closed the door and left.

The next day.....

I'm finally going to be in college! I happily did my morning rituals. I hope Foxy-senpai and I can be classmates. I hope Foxy-senpai and I are seatmates. *sigh* I hope I can tell him my feelings soon.

Yes...I love Foxy-senpai.

Ever since we were little.

But I still keep asking myself why can't he realize that?

Let me tell you about our story years ago...

"Hi foxy!" I greeted him first thing in the morning. 

"Good morning, mangle. Why so energetic?" he asked.

"Can't you tell?" I beamed. "We're going to be in high school starting today!"

"Idiot. I know we're going to be in high school today," he said.

"Ouch. You have hurt my feelings foxy-senpai. Calling me "idiot" is so mean!" I said.

He just laughed. He took it as a joke but that's what I really feel. 

"Why are you so excited in going to school? You don't even have good grades," he said.

Uggh...that stings even more.

"How about you? Why don't you feel happy in going to school when you are a smart person?" I asked Foxy.

"Not all the smart people in the world are happy going to school, Idiot," he said.

"Could you please stop calling me "idiot"? That's twice now!" I said.

We entered the school grounds. Woah....what a big school. I think I will be able to enjoy my high school life now! I'm going to be with Foxy-senpai!

We both entered our classroom together since we are classmates. "Hey Foxy, let's seat at the back of the classroom," I said.

"No. You're just going to keep talking to me because the teacher won't notice until the end of the class. So this time, let's seat in the front row," he said.

"Hmph....you're so rude. I'm n-not going to talk to you even if w-we are seating in the back!" I lied. "You want to seat in the front?! Fine! I'll seat at the back!"

"Whatever."

Foxy-senpai! Tell me to sit in the front with you! Beg and say sorry to me!

But Foxy just sat in the front and didn't even look at the back to see where I was going to sit.

*sobs*

I am feeling regret. 

Stupid! You're so stupid Mangle! Why didn't you sit in the front with your Foxy-senpai? This was a chance in a lifetime to be with him for a long time! Well, an hour at least!

And worse, there was a pretty and hot girl sitting in the chair next to Foxy-senpai!

I sat at the back and sighed.

"H-h-h-hi!" I heard someone say next to me.

She's a girl. A beautiful, kind and smart looking girl.

"I'm B-bonbon! What's your n-name?" she beamed at me.

I like her. She's so energetic! But why is she stuttering?

"I'm Mangle! It's nice to meet you!"

"N-nice to meet you too!" she said and sighed. "I was acting all nervous for nothing. Y-you looked kind of sad and all and I thought you're going to get mad at me for talking to you. A-a-and-"

I just laughed at her.

"You're fun!" I said. She just smiled. "There's no need to be nervous around people."

"I-I had no friends before and..."

"Then would you like to be my friend?" I asked.

"R-r-r-r-r-really?" she said.

I laughed again.

"Of course. And I've already told you. You don't have to be that nervous!" I said.

She smiled again.

"Okay, Mangle" she said.

*Gasp* She called me by my name already!!!

"So that means we're friends now, aren't we?"

"Yeah!"

The bell rang and our adviser went inside the room.

"Okay, first things first. I will arrange your seats by alternating your gender." our adviser said.

"What?!" the students complained but followed the orders of our teacher. He then started calling our names as he got a piece of paper from a container.

A lottery? What kind of idea is our teacher doing? Worst possible way for the seat arrangement! Because there's only 1 in a million percent for me and foxy- senpai to be seatmates! And me and Bonbon won't be seatmates too!

"Chica, 1st chair please."

Ohh...that's the pretty girl sitting next to foxy a while ago.

"Foxy, 2nd chair."

What?!!!! What?!!!! No!!!! If Foxy-senpai gets attracted to that girl it's the end of the world for me!!!! *SOBS*

Please! Please call my name next!!! I'm calling upon the gods and goddesses of seating arrangement and lottery! 

"Third chair...

.

.

.

"...Bonbon"

My jaw dropped. I'm dead. I just died. I'm lying in my grave right now. 

"Fourth chair, Bonnie"

Doesn't my teacher and classmates care if I was dead?

Our teacher called names and so on and so on......

Only the last chair was left. And I'm the only one left. Tss.....bad day.

"And in the last seat is...."

Yeah, I know. I know. ME.

"Huh?" the teacher asked himself as he scrambled his hand in the container where he all gets the pieces of papers.

What? What's going on?

"Who is the only one left?" he asked and I raised my hand.

"What's your name?"

"It's Mangle, Sir," I replied.

"I'm sorry but maybe my assistant forgot to put your name inside this container."

What? How could his assistant forget my name?! How could this assistant forget my beautiful name?! *sobs*

"Well, for as well as I can remember, Foxy got the highest score in the entrance exam, am I right?" our teacher asked.

"Yes, sir," Foxy replied.

"And the one who got the lowest score in this class is....you Mangle"

"Yes sir..."

I know sir! Don't just say that straight to my face as if I'm the dumbest girl in school!

Hmph!!!

Freakin' brain!

I AM NOT THAT DUMB!

"Maybe you should sit next to Foxy."

What? 

What? 

What?

Hallelujah 1 zillion times!

I beamed.

"Maybe you should sit next to Foxy."  

"Maybe you should sit next to Foxy."  

"Maybe you should sit next to Foxy."  

Ahhh!!! I so love my dumbness! I love my freaking high school life!!!! I thank all the gods and goddesses to make this happen!!

Wait....

"Maybe you should sit with Foxy."

"Maybe you should sit with Foxy." 

"MAYBE you should sit with Foxy."

Wait, WHAT? MAYBE? "Maybe" is like 49 percent that I can seat with him!

"Is that okay, Foxy?" the teacher asked.

He was thinking. What?! I'm your best friend that truly loves you! You should answer a big fat"YES" already!

I looked at him with sparkly eyes. He saw me and was taken aback.

"Wel.....I guess she can."

What kind of half-hearted answer was that my beloved Foxy-senpai?! Well, never mind. At least I'm going to sit beside him!

"Chica, is it okay if you sit at the back?" our teacher asked which surprised her.

"No, of course not sir!" she said.

Hmph....

"Well I guess we should adjust.....Bonbon, move to the 4th seat. Bonnie, to the 5th seat. And also the rest of you please move.

I took my seat.

"Isn't it great, Foxy-senpai? You're going to have a FUN first period!" I told him.

"Yeah, right. It is fun, blockhead," he said adding sarcasm in his voice.

Why are you so mean to me Foxy?

I faked a laugh and looked at my right side. I don't want to cry. "Bonbon! I'm so glad you're my seatmate!"

"Yeah!" she said.

Well, at least she's not stuttering now.

I just don't get Foxy. Sometimes he's friendly with me.....sometimes he's so mean and rude. Boo hoo......

I'm going to have a very fun class everyday!
