A friend or foe, who knows? (Xhosa)

[Yuuko]

Yuuko stood next to a tree on the campus, her arms folded and her sunglasses down. She was able to wear casual clothing which she found much more comfortable than the uniforms. A sleeveless white shirt covered her top, but it was more of a layering shirt than one somebody would wear outside. Still, it was a nice day and she didn't feel like wearing anything fancy. A pair of loose-fitting khaki shorts hung from her waist with a pair of white flip-flops to carry out the look. Her arms folded in front of her chest as she thought about the day's events.

Everybody was pretty cool in this new school, but there was one person in particular that she wasn't quite sure about. Eddie Xhosa, just what was she supposed to make of him? He was crazy, and thought so much of himself! It bugged her just to be around him, but then again, it was funa t the same time. He didn't care what she said, he was always fighting right back. It was just too much fun to argue with somebody constantly!

"Feh, and I'm sure that he just thinks that he's the funniest thing around. Whatever, if he tries to pull something on me while I look different, he'll have another thing coming," Yuuko thought aloud, a scoff coming from her throat. Yes, that was probably just what he wanted to do, make a fool of her so he could laugh at her more. As if the cow incident wasn't bad enough!

I lay in a tree above Yuuko, she had no idea I was there of course. I was wearing long white cargo pants, black skate shoes, with green laces on today. Over my top I had a black long sleeve shirt on with the words Anarchist written across my chest in red. I had a pair of silver wire frame singlasses covering my eyes, the lenses were tinted red. My silvery white hair was stuck up all over the place as I shifted slightly.

Hooking my legs on the branch I droppped backwards, I was now facing her, up-side down. I gave Yuukp an odd smile before I spoke. "hey why are you standing upsode down?" I asked in a mock sincere tone. A large smile slayed across my face as if I had just finished drink six chocolate milkshakes...that was a good time.

I stayed hanging upside down, enjoying the faces she made as my shirt began to drop down slightly. My stomach was showing and the base of the sun 'markings'. A llarge black circle with black pointed spikes leading off it. I continued to look at her like a monkley would, a quizzical expression on my face.

[Yuuko]

"What I should be asking you is why in the world are you hanging from a tree?" Yuuko asked, amused at the whole spectical. Xhosa really wasn't one she took too seriously now, considering the way he acted. In class he seemed like a clown, and he wasn't really helping his reputation. Though, casually she propped her sunglasses up in her hair, red strands strewn across the black lenses.

"You're such a clown, Xhosa. Now why is that? And why, exactly, are you here?" She was trying to be serious, but it was very hard with him being like that. With a grin, her arm pushed against his chest, beginning to make him sway from side to side like a monkey. If he wanted to act like one, she would be more than happy to treat him like one.

As Yuuko pushed my stomach, my legs contracted and I fell off the branch. With a sickening thud I landed face first in the dirt. As usual my smile was on my face. Sitting up a coughed up a large dirt clod and spat it out onto the ground. A small trickle of blood came from nose, that fall had hurt. I sat on the gorund, on my knees. I quickly brushed myself off before before speaking indignantly "Well that was not very nice Yuuko...and I thought you cared for me" At the end of his speech he jumped up, and stuck his tongue out at her in a playful manner.

"I was hanging from a tree because you wole me up, I was sleeping in the tree because I like the outdoors and I am a clown because I ran to and from the circus" Again I stuck my tongue out at her in a playful manner. "Soooooooooo...Bayer, how are you" I said all this whilst laughing, I knew she did not like her last name already.

[Yuuko]

Yuuko was shocked that Xhosa had let himself fall from the tree and was tempted to help him up, but she knew better. She stopped as he got up with a smile and smiled confidently back at him. No way was he going to get the better of her just because he fell out of a stupid tree. She didn't work like that, and Xhosa should already know that by now.

"Don't call me Bayer," the girl responded sharply, crossing her arms as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Actually, she had no idea why the raised eyebrow was a necessity, but she decided that she wanted to do so, perhaps he would confuse him. In the end, however, she was the one who was confused and needed to figure out just what she was saying and why.

"And I'm fine, just rather bored. It's always so dull when we don't have class. I'm almost afraid to ask, but how are you, Xhosa?" Yuuko had her arms crossed and grinned now, her light nature showing through now. It was easy for her to get along with people, and with Xhosa's own outspoken nature, it was even easier.
