There she was, in the dark, lying in her bed, only in her bra and panties, feeling her familiar and foreign lips running all over her body. She moaned a little, lost within her own little pleasure, but quiet herself. They didn't wanted to get caught.

- Hush... Be quiet, don't make too much noise... - the other woman said.

- I know... Sorry.

She couldn't see much in the dark, but she felt a smile. She loved Aki's funny smile. They were doing this to remember good old times, maybe what they felt now wasn't love, true love, but just passion. Jane didn't care. A long ago, she started falling for Neil, but she couldn't assume that. And that was love.

Her lips, her tongue, her touch reaching her well-worked body... it was a complete turn-on, almost made her remember their «glory days». But, yet, she had to ask her «that».

- Aki?

- What? - she answered, without stopping.

- Do... do Gray knows?

- Know what?

- Know about «us», and... about what happened to you. It's been almost 13 years, from today.

Aki stopped what she was doing, and lied at Jane's side.

- Of course he knows. He had to know why I wasn't a virgin when we slept together for the first time.

- Did it... hurt?

- A little.

She got quiet for a moment, and then she got on Aki's top, caressing her shoulders. She kissed her face.

- Don't worry. It's all gone now.

Jane smiled.

- I love your smile.

- And I hate that damn metal bra you have now.

- It'll be gone if everything goes as I expect.
 
 

As always, Jane went to school alone. This time she went earlier then usually. Her brothers have been pissing her off again and she was gettin' fed up with that. And in that day, she was so angry with them. And her menstruation was late again. As always!

Then, she heard a familiar voice.

- Hey! Jane, isn't it? I believe I'm in your Biology class...

She turned to face a funny freckled Aki, smiling nicely.

«Oh please God not her again»

- Oh. You remember my name. Too bad I can't remember yours...

«Drop dead, gorgeous!»

- That's okay.

Silence between them, while they were reaching the school building.

- Listen... Jane. I'm sorry for my attitude yesterday. I always have this sappy attitude when I'm trying to be nice. See, I'm kinda lost in...

- Listen, Pretty Face! - Jane exploded - I know you're Dr. Ross' daughter. Everyone knows that, ya know? I don't care what are you feeling, but I would be thankful if you could help me in Biology, since everyone's saying yer brilliant as your daddy...

- Gheeezzzz... You didn't need to be so mean! And I just went to talk to you because you look so lonely. But if you hate me, it's okay. I guess it's my fault. - and in saying that, Aki speeded her step.

«Oh gosh. My did I said that? Well, she was deserving that: I hate go-happy-funny girls. Especially when they annoy me. Anyway.»

Time passed, and now she has at the gymnastics class, her favorite class, although she was always the last one to be chosen. This time there was no place on the teams, and she had to watch them play.

Next to her, there was the other team that was going to play next. Unfortunately, it was formed with the boys who were always picking on her.

- Hey, people, look! Little Janie couldn't play again? How do you fell, macho-girl?

She ignored them, like flies.

- Hey, don't say those things to her! You are making her angry! - mocked another guy.

- Bah, look at her, she deserves it! Who told her to play macho-girl?

«Enough. I'm going to kick this guy's balls»

- What did you call me?

- Are you deaf, boy?

- Repeat that.

- Boy! B-O-Y.
 
 

«What an idiot! I just wanted to make some conversation. Guess Aunt Mel was right. I'm not good on relating with the others.» In thinking in this, Aki recalled some shameful episodes, when she was eleven. Her, closed in the toilet, crying, while listening to the other girls calling her «zip face». If only she could kick her butts. But oh no, she couldn't do that, 'cos she was the dammed «Dr.Ross' daughter»! People didn't even know her first name! And people were constantly accusing her of taking advantage of her daddy's fame!

«Guess what. Daddy's dead. He and mom died right in front of me...»

She looked at the mirror, to see her freckled oval face, bright eyes and really long hair. Suddenly, she fell this urgency to punch the mirror. Though she was now pretty, she hated it. Her friends were far away, and she was never popular. And she hated the popular girls. Always talking about bullshit.

«Talking on the devil. Here he comes.»

The so-called popular girls, the same that started a conversation with her in the other day, had enter in the toilet. She pretended to fix her hair, and prepare her leaving.

- Hey! It's the new chick! Hya!

- We were looking for you. It is true that you're Ross' daughter?

«Oh no. Not again.»

- Looks like yes.

- Greaattt! Cool! You know, people are saying that yer dead smart! So, could you help us?

«Agghh.»

- Well. I would love it, but... I can't. You see, I'm not from here, I'm here to stay just for some months. Sorry. - she smiled, nicely, and walked to the exit door.

- I was right. She's just another little daughter taking advantage of her daddy's legacy...

She had listened it, and now she was pissed off. Really pissed off.

«That's it I'm sick of this»

- Do you have the guts to say that in my face?

The girls remained silent.

- As I thought. And you can't even defend your friend. What a bunch of chickens, you are. I'm so sick of you, so sick of your jealousy. Guess what? I HAVE guts, to say this in your faces!

- You bitch, I'll make you swallow your words! No one talks to me

like that!
 

- Miss Proudfoot! Again?

Jane arrived to the infirmary. It was the third time, just in this week.

She was known as someone with short patience, and what had happened was an example. Some boys messed with her and she got fed up. People started to call her «boy», because of her behavior.

And there she was again, sat in the infirmary, with a pink eye. It was kinda funny, she thought. She knew she would be suspended again. And then she listened that voice again.

- Hya. Guess what. Popular girls know how to punch.

She looked, and saw Aki, smiling ironically. And she had a pink eye as well.

- Good lord. Looks like I'm not the only pissed-off-chick here.

- Dammed right. But they deserved that. Calling me «father's daughter»... I ask them to tell that in my face, but they didn't have the courage to do that, so I called then chickens.

Jane laughed.

- Why are you laughing?

- You're doomed, Aki. You're the first one calling them bad names and being still alive.

- Cool. You remember my name.

They smiled.

- I'm sorry for that things I said. I still can't figure out why did I said that, in first place...

- That's okay. Sorry for my answer.

Silence.

- So... could you be my friend? I can help you pass Biology.
