Chapter One
The Beggining - and a Party!
By: Gwinna Tobin
Shina got up after several minute, decidedly not talking to or looking at her brother. He just didn't understand!

She walked to the next exhibit, where only three other people were. A boy with a girl, and another girl wandering up to them by herself. Shina wasn't in the least interested in them; but the animal exhibits behind them.

Shina really loved animals, and did whatever she could to help them. It was too bad that there were so many going extinct! She sat on a bench and started to read the exhibit. She was completely wrapped up in it when an argument in the courtyard interrupted her thoughts.

She walked out to see what was happening.

"Ow, OW, that hurts!!" A blonde girl was being restrained by a beautiful woman.....wait...was that Zakuro Fujiwara?? It was! the lovely model from the magazines!

Shina walked closer. The blonde was let go, and she ran off shouting with a couple friends.

"You'd better watch your back!!"

Shina recognized the blonde girl who had been with the boy and the other girl at the last exhibit. The girl ran up to a figure on the floor.

"Are you alright? You didn't get hurt?"

"No, I'm okay....."

The girl on the floor had long braids and glasses....the mean blonde must've been hitting her! She got up and bowed to the others.

"Thank you so much! I didn't mean to cause trouble!"

"No worries." assured Zakuro. The other agreed.

"It was fun!"

"I'm glad you're okay!"

The glasses girl was still apologizing. "I'm slow, so people get mad at me. I'll have to apologize to them later."

"Apologize for what?" Asked the blonde. THEY were to ones being mean! Don't you think so?" She turned to her companion, who was staring avidly at Zakuro.

"Uh-huh.....I want to be just like her....!"

Zakuro turned to leave. "I'd better get going..."

"See ya!" said a little girl Shina hadn't noticed before.

"HUH?! "

"Uh...wait!"

Wait! Shina took another step. She didn't even get an autograph!
