Chapter 2

The boy who sat by me on the bus seemed interesting. Why did he come near me? Does he not know the rumors about. As I'm musing, six girls walk in front of me and surround me. Great, just great. Because this boy who seemed quite popular sat by me, I'm going to get bullied even more. I sigh, it's way to early in the morning for this.

"Witch, stay away from our Ash. You don't deserve to be within 100 miles of him." The girl in the front has her hands propped on her hips and speaks in a high, nasally voice. All the girls look similar, short skirts, crops, tights, heels, and enough makeup to make their parents go bankrupt in a month. The lead girl has bleached blonde hair, and neon pink lips. Three girls have brown hair up in ponytails, and the other two have black hair.

I cock my head, confused. "Ash? Who?"

They all gape at me and it dawns on me I never asked for the boy's name.

"The hot boy who you seduced and forced to sit by you!" Brunette #1 bursts out

Of course, somebody blew the whole thing up out of proportion. Oh, well.

"Well, regardless of what I did, I have class soon, so if you don't mind..." I sweep past the girls and head off to my math class.

I watched the redhead be confronted by the girls. Here we go, I thought. She'll just cower before them like everyone. Instead, she gave a quick retort and brushed past them. After enjoying the show, I headed off to my math class. Upon opening the door, I saw the girl in the back of the class. Perfect. Inwardly grinning I walked back and slid into the seat by her. She looked up in surprise before registering who it was.

"Oh, the bus-boy." She spoke with an indifferent air to her voice.

"You know, I have a name." I slightly teased her

"Really? I never thought people had names?" Her reply was clearly sarcastic

"Well, then what are you?"

She hesitated. "A witch, according to others."

"And according to you?"

She glanced at me. "Well, I guess I'm a girl who wished for something I shouldn't have." She turned back to her work, ending the conversation.

The teacher walked into the room and clapped her hands twice. "Alright class, let's start, now, turn to page...."

Near the end of class, she asked the class to solve a problem.

Both the girl and I answered at the same time; "2 over 0 is undefined." I was a bit shocked she had answered. Based off of her face, she was surprised I had.

"Very good you two! Now, Hana, what would the solution for this problem be?"

"It's a factorial, so you'd multiply it. It would end up being..."

Ten minutes later, the bell rang and the student all filed out.

(Anybody get the two references? What were they?)
