Tatsu's POV. - Gem.P High.S 3

Tatsu peered out of the front door and creeped into the porch, she pressed her hand against the grubby window pane and looked out.
There was no sign yet, of her prey. She snarled and gave the stiff door a hard kick swinging it open, "SEE YA!" she called back to the residents in the house then shut the door behind her.
"Pathetic!" she sneered under her breath " Fancy being kicked out of the house this early.. Camille will spot me and I won't be able to jump her..!"
At that moment the girl reached the end of her street and a sleek black car gleamed in the corner of her eye causing her to stop in her tracks.
Her head shifted towards the car and her mind concocted a plan "Hm... or WILL I..?" she purred and approached the car crouching behind it.
She smoothed down the creases in her school skirt and lifted her head ever so slightly to see the duo coming round the corner "Bingo" she thought and smirked to herself.
But, at that very moment Aliso raised an eyebrow in the distance. "Damn" did she see her? All of Tatsu's plans would be ruined if she had. What to do, What to do..?
At that Tatsu smacked herself on the forehead "Just put your finger to your lips and silence the fiend before she tells Camille!" And right on que Tatsu did so. However, this time.. Aliso did'nt seem to respond.
"Whatever, she'd probably just acknowledged my sign and kept walking as to not arrouse suspision within Camille. Yeah. Thats probably the cas- Hey! Is she pointing to where I am!? Idiot!!!" Tatsu growled and clenched her fists. She spotted Camille wearily craning her kneck towards the car then shaking her head in a dismal manner at Aliso as if to say "No use"
But Tatsu knew they'd walk past the car sooner or later.. "Maybe all is not lost.. hahaha.. I'll just wait till they walk past the car and sneak around the opposite side and then..! I'll scare Camille from behind! And Maybe Aliso too since she ratted me out! Its the PERFECT surprise attack!"
She snickered to herself and waited until she heard footsteps. Ready to jump out at the two.
This might have worked if Tatsu had'nt been so impatient. She thought she had heard a sound and slowly crept out from behind the car only to notice that she was kneeling on the pavement right infront of Aliso and Camille.
Tatsu looked up at the two girls and blinked in awe.
The two girls looked down at her with stunned expressions.
A gentle breezed blowed past.
Silence.
Camille bit her bottom lip and grinned down at Tatsu who slowly got to her feet and brushed herself off. Aliso burst out laughing which set Camille off too.
"What were you.. were you.. d-doing?" Aliso cried hysterically through sudden fits of giggling. Tatsu pouted and folded her arms turning away from the duo in disgust.
Camille noticed this causing her to laugh even harder, perhaps because she knew what the awnser was and was so releived that she had escaped todays scare, much like she had escaped yesterdays.
"I just saw you behind the car for some weird reason and was like.. 'Look at Tatsu I can see the red hair' Right Camille?"
The blonde haired girl wiped her eyes and nodded at Aliso.
"YOU TOLD HER!?!?" Tatsu exploded. "I GAVE YOU THE SILENCE SIGN!!" She snarled while putting her finger to her lips in mock impression.
Aliso shrugged cooly "Did'nt see y' do it" she replied, causing Tatsu's hands to clench into little balled fists.
"Ooohhh! Just wait..! I'll get you tommorow" Tatsu sneered whilst turning to Camille who squirmed and played with her fingers nervously underneath her friends sadistic stare.
"I dunno...." Aliso replied icily and tucked her hands behind her head, turning her back on the two, ready to start walking again, "You did'nt get her yesterday or today... Maybe your losing your touch"
Camille smiled gratefully at her brown eyed friend as Tatsu's gaze twitched towards the back of Aliso's head. Perhaps because for once she was sticking up for her.
Tatsu fumed at the comment. Aliso was always so calm and knew just how to irritate her at times. Tatsu knew she could never win a verbal argument with neither Aliso nor Tysta. Words were confusing, she did'nt know alot of big ones. She could'nt string a sentance once angry, infact the only thing she could do was lash out! But these were her friends so she had to control herself.
The blonde shifted her gaze wearily towards Tatsu who seemed to be having a serious staring contest with the back of Aliso's head as if maybe if she glared long, enough her anger might just implode out of her pupils, burning through the back of Aliso's head.
"Maybe thats not such a nice thought..." Tatsu wondered. She stopped and took a deep breath, exhaling very slowly she walked up to Aliso who in turn started walking towards their destination. Camille scurried alongside the two. "I'm just having a couple of slow days. Don't worry. I'll get her soon"
Aliso shrugged "Mm" continuing to walk towards the fork in the road where they always met Tysta.
She walked about a step infront of Camille and Tatsu as if she were in a hurry, perhaps she was, but you could never tell.
She took long confident strides and her arms swayed gently at her sides or found their way into her pockets. She leaned back every so slightly.
Aliso was a very casual, laid-back person she was funny and confident. The polar opposite of the other two.
Camille walked with her head hung, her long blonde hair swayed at her sides and tickled the side of her face. Her hand rested on her bag and the other drooped lifelessly beside her waist. Tatsu figured that this was probably just because Camille thought 'I don't need it when walking so why bother using it?' Yeah.. that was probably it.
Camille's steps were quick like Aliso's. But hers were small. She scurried. Alot like a mouse. Her glittering blue eyes darted back and forth as if something would jump out at her at any given moment.
Tatsu had never pointed this out, afterall she was probably one of the biggest contributers to this and enjoyed frightening the living daylights out of the girl on a daily basis. And plus, Camille had always been like this. Even back when Tatsu did'nt talk to her she still noticed her habits. Tatsu was very observant of her surroundings, probably because she was mostly in thought about things that did'nt really matter. You might never think it judging by her cold outward appearence, but Tatsu was a daydreamer.
She'd noticed that Cammile would always keep her head low and avoid eyecontact as if she was hoping that if she tried hard enough she might just turn invisible or vanish into a fairy tale land. Something that Tatsu thought would please Cammile greatly.
Tatsu's walk was fairly similar to Camille's. Her head was hung and her hair covered her eyes... Not because she was shy, but because one's glare becomes ever so powerful when looked at from a birds eye veiw. Her hands were either shoved rougly into her crammed school pockets, hanging limply at her sides or adjusting the blasted straps of her heavy backpack, the only thing that she thought was keeping her back straight. She was constantly hunching over slightly. Probably because of all the drawings she did. In form she never listened to the form tutor or anyone else for that fact. She just sat on her stool hunched over a peice of paper doodling her current "masterpeice" with a pen borrowed from her blonde friend. Her thoughts were interupted when Tysta came walking down the street.
"Hey" she murmed while sliding some of her school books neatly into her bag. She looked up as the they crossed the street and turned to Tatsu and grinned. It was obvious that she was thinking about the concert tonight. You could see it all in her expression, she did'nt even need to say it outloud.
The four girls eventually reached the last street, their school was'nt far off. And there at the side of the road stood the infamous puddle. The one that many a jeep had galavanted through and drenched the passing crowd to the bone.
Aliso casually walked past as if she had'nt even noticed the puddle.
Tatsu grumbled under her breath and took a step forwards. Cammile, who was at her side did'nt budge an inch until she felt sharp fingernails dig into her arm and yank her across the street away from the huge puddle. The trio started walking again until they noticed something missing. Tysta.
The blonde had stayed behind waiting for a car going at about 2 miles an hour to pass. She was'nt going to chance walking past the puddle no matter how small the risk, and, once the car had past she scurried back to join the group.
