Marron was walking down the hall, going to her fifth period class. Once she entered, she saw her teacher, Mr. Felt, arranging all the chairs in a circle.

"Good morning Mr. Felt!!" Marron said.  "Why are you arranging the chairs into a circle?  What're we doing today?"

"Well, Marron, were going to share some poetry today, and I want everyone to share their homework." He said.

"Oh, I see." Marron said.  "Here!  Let me help you!!" She offered.  Mr. Felt and Marron arranged all the chairs in a circle.

"Marron, could you do me a favor?" Mr. Felt asked.

Marron looked up.  "Yes, Mr. Felt?  What is it?" She asked.

"I would need someone to read their poem first, I was wondering if you could, I know no one else would."

Marron stopped.  "Me???" A big sweat drop appeared on her head.  She imagined Trunks laughing at her and saying; "Oh Marron, your poems are pitiful and corny!"

"Yes, your poems have always been real good." Mr. Felt said.

"Um..well..okay.." Marron said with a big sweat drop on her head.  "Oh, here comes the humiliation." Marron thought.

~*~*~*~

"Well class, your probably asking why the chairs are in a circle position." Mr. Felt said.  "Well, you all had homework last night to write about the first thing that comes into your mind.  And now, were going to read them."

Trunks, Marron, and Goten were all sitting together on the side.

"I don't want to read mine!" Goten whined quietly.

"Neither do we want to hear it Goten!" Trunks said.  "Remember this; there was a tree, and there was grass, under the sky..." Trunks said, imitating Goten while reading his poem in class last year.

Marron started cracking up in the back quietly.

Mr. Felt saw what Trunks was doing.  "AHEM, Mr. Trunks would you like to go first?"

Trunks went blank, and had huge sweat drops on his head.

Goten stuck his tongue out.  "I was just about to say, your not that good either, corny Romeo!"

"How bout you be second Mr. Goten?" Mr. Felt asked.

Goten gasped a little.  "What??  Me??  Ugh,no thank you, Mr. Felt!!!!" He said nervously.  He took Marron's hand and raised it.  "I'm sure Marron would love to go though!!" He said.

"Goten-kun baka!" Marron screamed.  "What are you doing?!?!" She shrieked.

All the other students were bickering and laughing at the three friends.

"Yeah!!  Why doesn't Marron go first?!" Trunks said, while raising her other hand.  Both of Marron's hands were in the air, held by Trunks and Goten.  "She'd be glad to!!!  I'm sure she would!!!" Goten and Trunks screamed with sweat drops on their heads.

"Okay then, Marron you go first." Mr. Felt said.

Goten and Trunks let out a sigh of relief.  "Yes!  We don't have to do it!" Both of them thought.

"Trunks you go second and Goten you go third." Mr. Felt said.

Trunks and Goten fainted anime style.  "Ugh!!man!! thought we got away with it!.." Goten said.

"I know!.we were so close!." Trunks said.

Marron stood up and walked to the middle of the circle.

"My poem is called "The Old Days"." She started.  She looked at Trunks he was holding up the "loser" sign with his thumb and index finger.

Marron started turning red, she just wanted to burst out and choke him. Goten on the other hand was making funny faces.

Marron was turning red because of anger and laughter.

"Um..*giggles* Well.." She started off.  She turned around not facing them. "I decided to write this poem because, I wanted to be a little different this time."

"The old days "

I look out into the night
a sweet calm serenity...
as I like to call it
very peaceful and sweet
reminds me of the old days...
"the old days"
when kids use to be peaceful...
sweet and nice
kind and innocent
when adults use to be loving
caring and giving
understanding and concerned
when animals use to be lovable
beautiful and calm
kind natured and sweet
That was the old days
when people were actually "alive"
"the old days"
that's my world
yeah, my world
my world that I wanted"

After Marron finished her poem, the whole class was quiet.  Trunks, on the other hand were shocked.  "What the?  Marron usually writes funky love poems that are so corny, and full of "bakaness", but now..it's like.. don't know..what am I thinking?!  That her poem is actually nice?!" Trunks thought.

Mr. Felt clapped his hands.  "Very nice and sweet Marron, thank you for sharing it with us."

Marron smiled and sat back down.  She saw that one of the guys in the class was looking at her.  It was James.  "Oh my god!  James is smiling and staring at me!!  Oh my god!!" She thought.

Trunks looked at Marron, then at James.  He snapped two fingers in front of her face.   "Hey Roons!  Snap out of it Roons!"

She looked up.  "Oh." She said.  "What did you think of my poem?"

Goten pushed Trunks away and went in front of Marron.  "Very nice and sincere Marron!!" Trunks fell on his butt on the ground.  "Ooww!!" He looked up and saw Goten's butt right in front of his face!  "Aah!!  Baka!" He screamed. He kicked Goten's butt and made him slam against the wall.

Marron started cracking up again.

"Ahem, Trunks!" Mr. Felt started.

Trunks sat back down with a big sweat drop on his head.  "Ugh,sorry Mr. Felt, his butt was right in my face that's why!!!" Trunks said.

The class started laughing.

Mr. Felt was trying not to laugh.

~*~*~*~*~

Marron was putting some stuff in her locker that she didn't need to bring home.  When she closed it, she saw James.

"James,uh,hi." She said blushing.  James has been her ultimate crush, ever since 6th grade.

"Hey Marron, Your poem a while ago was great, I really liked it."

"Wow, thanks."

"I was wondering if you would like to help me with mine, ya know? Maybe we could go on a study date?"

"Oh my god!!  James; the QB of the football team is asking me out!!!" She thought.  "Sure, maybe tomorrow, after school."

"Okay, later." He said.  James walked away and Marron, was love struck.

Trunks saw what just happened, and he felt kind of,weird.  Or maybe Jealous?

~*~*~*~*~

Trunks were driving home in his car, doing the usual.  He was going to ask Goten if he wanted to go to the movies, but then again, Goten had a date. "How bout Roons?" He thought.

He took his cell phone and dialed her cell.

"Hello?" Marron's said.

"Hey, Roons!  What's going on?" Trunks asked.

"Nothing much Prez, I was just planning on going to Natalie's house, I'm babysitting her tonight."

"Oh, damn!  I was going to ask you if you wanted to go the movies, guess not."

"Well, Prez to bad, have to go!!  Ciao!" She said and then she hung up.

Trunks turned off his cell.  "Great, what am I gonna do tonight?!"
