- Matchmakers From Hell - {Rex Raptor Story - Girls Only}

"Reika! Are you ready yet? Huh?"
The shrill voice rang through the house as a girl continued tying a large ornamental bow on her chest, The Teenage girl stared in the mirror, examining her Pink and Blue uniform with a look of interest. She did a quick spin - The frills and laces twirling as her Light Purple hair settled onto her shoulders.
"Reika Summers, you are looking Nice" The girl crooned, winking to her reflection
No sooner had the words been uttered from her lips, the bedroom door banged open. Inside shot a Blonde haired girl, her blue eyes twinkling with excitement.
"Reika - Come on!" The girl tugged on her arm "Let's go-go-go!"
"Taylor calm down!" Reika pulled her arm out of the girl's grip "We still have half an hour until we have to leave!"
"But Mom wants us to leave now!" Taylor pouted "Come on, You can't spend all morning flirting with yourself - It's kind of pathetic-"
"I am not flirting with myself!" Reika yelped, Taylor ran out the room gigglig "Get back here you little Brat~"
As the two Girls ran around the house. A woman looked up from the Counter and smiled slightly. Anyone would look at the two girls and assume that they were really Sisters.
But Reika and Taylor Summers weren't Sisters at all. In fact, nothing could be Further from the truth.
Mrs and Mr Summers had adopted Reika several years ago, while Taylor had been adopted by another Family shortly before hand. But Taylor had been adopted by an old couple, and when the Old lovers died recently - Taylor was going to be sent back to the Orphanage - When Reika stepped up and begged for them to adopt her too. Reika and Taylor had always stuck together throughout the Orphanage, or so Reika had often claimed.
So now, the Two had decided to start a whole new School life together - So it wouldn't be so hard on Taylor to start a new. Reika and Taylor had settled on one School together.
Domino High.

"It's so big" Taylor said in awe, sounding hushed "Wow!" She turned to you "Don't you think it's cool Reika?"
You looked up at the large building, Domino High. It was pretty big for a School, or at least you thought so. It had a large clock tower poking out of the top, and iron fencing up the top so people could safely enjoy the view.
But it looked just like any other School in your opinion.
"What?" You raised an eyebrow "It's just a School, What's so cool about it?"
"Phooey" Taylor pouted, looking away from you "You're no Fun Reika"
"Hey, just because I'm not easily excited doesn't mean I'm no fun!" You retorted, waving a hand
"The Day you're fun is the Day I take up knitting" Taylor wagged a finger as the two of you walked up to the front gate
You rolled your eyes, but even being in a conversation didn't shake the eerie feeling in your stomach. Right now - You were as nervous as hell. Your stomach felt empty, even after eating almost three times your usual breakfast intake.
It was a new School Year, in a New School. You didn't have any Friends here - or anyone you knew. What if everyone hated you?
'Stop it' You furiously shook your head 'Stop worrying - It'll all be fine!'
"We wait in the office right?" Taylor asked brightly as you passed a group of girls, all of which seemed to be hugging and talking about their holidays "Right Reika?"
"Uh- Yeah" You answered quickly, feeling distracted "Office"
"Where's the Office?" Taylor asked curiously
"The Office...?" You repeated slowly "Uh..."
You pushed open the School doors, revealing a large corridor with Shoe cabinets. You scanned the boxes for "Summers-Reika", and quickly placed your Outside shoes in the box, placing your inside slippers on.
"You didn't answer me Reika?" Taylor piped up again, Kicking on her shoes "Where's the Office?"
"Should be in there somewhere right?" You hoped you were right, or Taylor would pester you all day about it
"Yeah, real specific" Taylor rolled her eyes
As the two of you walked into the Corridor, you could feel the eerie feeling bubble up inside your stomach again. There were large groups of people walking along and talking to each other. Whenever you and Taylor walked past, the group would go silent for a moment, their eyes following you in surprise.
'I wish they'd all just stop staring' You thought weakly 'I know me and Taylor stick out - But this is just freaky...'
"Reika it's in here!" Taylor said loudly, pointing to a door that said Office.
"Oh-" You stopped feeling so awkward "Great! Let's get out of here-"
You pushed open the Office Door to feel the cool air-conditioned breeze wash over you. You looked around slightly as Taylor walked in behind you.
The office was filled with vases and hanging pot-plants. There was a distinct smell of dirt and soil which gave the impression of a rain forest. You walked up to the front desk, which had what looked like whole rose-bushes sticking up from the ground. You approached cautiously, a woman with Brown hair pulled into a zig-zagged ponytail looked up from her computer.
"Erm - Is this the Office?" You asked, trying to sound confident
"Yes" The Woman raised an eyebrow "It does say so on the door - Can you read?"
"Eh Heh Heh" You tried to laugh, but it was unnatural "I thought it was a florist - You know, all the plants and things-"
"The plants were my Idea" The woman said shrilly "It makes this place seem a lot brighter, don't you think?"
The honest answer was that you thought it was that it smelt like a rain forest - But honest wasn't what you were going for. You nodded simply.
"Ah yes, I love... erm-" You looked at some flowers for a moment and then looked back "Flowers...?" You finished weakly, making Taylor giggle.
The door opened again, causing Taylor to turn around in surprise. You turned around too - Just in time to see a Tall boy and a Girl around your Height walk in. The Boy raised a hand and fluffed up his Puffy blond hair as he looked from Taylor to you.
"Hey, I'm here to show some Reika Summers 'round?" He had an American accent, and rather dark brown eyes "So uh" He looked at you and Taylor "Which one of you-?"
"Me" You raised a hand "That's Taylor" You added simply, pointing to Taylor - Who was staring at him with a broad smile
"Hi Reika-Chan~" The Girl suddenly spoke up, her Brown hair bounced as she did a jump with a wave "Hello Taylor-Chan, I'm Vel Raptor~ Nice to meet you-Chan" She smiled brightly
You blinked a little at her introduction. Vel had Green eyes and rather spiky brown hair that went to her shoulders. She looked rather pretty to be honest.
"I'm Joey Wheeler" The boy motioned to himself with a grin "So uh, let's go then"
"Okay- Uh" You turned to Taylor "Do you want to-?"
"I'll see you after School" Taylor said quickly "Front Gate"
"Oh..." You couldn't help but be a little disappointed "Okay... Bye then"
Vel had started shaking Taylor's hand excitedly as you and Joey left the Office. Joey looked over at you as you stared at your shoes.
"You okay there?" Joey raised an eyebrow
"Oh, Yeah I'm fine!" You forced a grin, that would usually be very unlike you "I guess I'm just nervous"
"Oh, well Domino's a nice place" Joey said reassuringly "I bet you'll go down just fine"
The idea of 'Going down' didn't sound all that fine to you, but you nodded simply. Joey seemed nice enough, but you knew better than to assume the rest of the school was as friendly. Every school had it's own jerks and idiots after all. You weren't the nicest person around either, come to think of it.
"So have you got your Timetable with ya'?" Joey interrupted your thoughts
"Huh?" You looked up quickly "Uhhh - Here" You rustled around in your pocket for the sheet of paper, handing it to Joey
He took a brief look at it and paused for a moment. He snapped his fingers and pointed down the hallway.
"Down here is where you've got Maths-" Joey kept walking, coming to a stop in front of a doorway "And you've got Maths C?"
"I'm not that great at Maths" You admitted quickly, feeling rather stupid to admit it to a stranger
To your surprise, Joey chortled to himself. He grinned and looked up at you.
"I suck at Maths - I'm in Maths E" Joey handed the paper back to you "I used to be in D, but I moved down after I failed the Yearly exam"
"Too bad" You laughed freely, not forcing it this time "So uh, where's the rest of the classes?" You pointed to the sheet
"Well, since we both kind of came to School late, I haven't got time to show you all of them-" Joey looked at his watch "In fact, we've got three minutes until the First lesson"
"Oh well- See you" You said awkwardly
"I'll meet you in the Cafeteria at First Break, I'll show you around more then" Joey explained "Oh - I've got a Friend in your Class, Tristan Taylor"
"Yeah?" You asked confused
"See if you can sit with him" Joey suggested "Because I know for a fact that there are some jerks in that class"
"Like who...?" You said slowly, feeling a little more worried
The bell suddenly rang loudly. Joey's head snapped around as he looked down the hallway frantically.
"I've got to go!" Joey said quickly, waving briefly "If I'm late again - The Teacher will kill me-"
"Okay" You said quickly - Joey hurriedly ran down the hallway "What does Tristan look like?!" You shouted after him
"BUZZCUT!" Joey shouted back, disappearing around the corner.
You stared out after him in surprise - and blinked slowly.
"Buzzcut?"

You couldn't see any Buzzcuts, or even anything that looked remotely like a Buzzcut when you walked into Maths C five minutes later. There were some girls congregating in the middle of the room, each of them still babbling away like the ones out the front of the school had been doing.
'Maybe he's away today...?' You thought sadly 'Well... up the back of the room for me-'
You walked up to the furthest deck from the front and sat down, unloading your pencil case you had kept in your shoulder bag. Just as you were about to get out your book - someone stepped in front of you.
"Are you the new girl?"
Your head perked up in surprise. You blinked as a boy with rather narrow eyes looked at you questioningly. You found your voice that had gotten lost in the surprise.
"Y-Yeah" You nodded "Uh... Is something wrong?"
"We have assigned seats in this class" The boy folded his arms and raised a bushy eyebrow "And currently, you're in the wrong seat"
"Oh - Is this your Seat?" You got up quickly and pulled your stuff back into your arms
"Oh no" The boy quickly shook his head "It's just that the Teacher's Roster put you up the front next to me"
There was something about this Boy you didn't trust. Maybe it was the Dagger-like eyes or the sly grin, or the fact his brown hair looked like particularly pointy. You looked around awkwardly.
"Uhhh - I'm not exactly-"
"Alright Class!" You almost jumped as the Teacher walked in, she had very short blond hair and Grey eyes "Everyone sit down now- Settle down now-" She spied you standing up in the middle of the room with the boy "Sit down at the front Miss Summers, next to Mr Raptor"
You sat down, feeling rather worried as 'Raptor' sat beside you. The class had stared at you while the teacher had told you to sit down - and you could still feel their eyes burning into you.
'I hate Maths' You decided in your mind 'I don't care if I use it everyday - I hate it'
"Today we will be Reviewing Pythagoras's theorem-" The Teacher picked up a felt tip marker and then paused "For those of you who don't know me, I am Mrs Simmons" Her eyes glanced at you, obviously the only person who didn't know who she was "Now as I was saying, Pythagoras was a man who lived in Ancient Egypt-"
You didn't really want to listen about 'Pythagoras', and for the following fifteen minutes you weren't expected to say or do anything. The teacher finally wrote up some questions on the board and stood back so the class could jot down the work.
"So what's your name?"
You looked up slightly to see Rex staring at you. You lowered your voice to a whisper as you continued working.
"Reika, Reika Summers - Who are you again?"
"Rex Raptor" He grinned "Nice to meet ya"
"Yeah..." You smiled a little "Thanks"
"No talking Miss Summers" Mrs Simmons interrupted suddenly "On with your work now, both of you!"
You frowned a little, but Rex just rolled his eyes. You looked at him for a moment and saw him mime the words 'She's a bitc-'
"And I'll pretend I didn't see that Mr Raptor!"
You lapsed into Silent giggles as Rex scowled.
After another half an hour of working, the bell rang. People's chairs scraped against the floor as everyone exited the room as fast as they could, eager to get to Lunch. You trailed behind, feeling very out of place.
Joey said to meet him in the Cafeteria - but you didn't even know where that was. Taylor didn't want to see you until after School, and you currently had a total of no friends.
'Well this Sucks' You thought dismally 'What do I do now?'
"So anyway" Came a familiar rough voice "As I was saying, what do we need with Pythagoras's theorem anyway? He's just some moldy old pile of bones now-"
"You're just saying that because you're too stupid to understand any of it"
"Oi!"
You turned around to see Rex shouting at another Boy, who looked like he was a little younger then Rex. The boy started laughing, much like a maniac. Your nose wrinkled without you meaning it to. His voice was so strange - It was like a record skipping.
Rex turned to see you staring, and before you could look away - He waved.
"Hey Summers!"
"Uhh-" You started, a little confused "Hey?"
"Come over here" Rex waved you over
Not sure what to make of the situation, You slowly walked over - the awkward feeling rising up again. Rex looked to the boy and pointed to you.
"She's that New girl I mentioned" Rex explained, he looked at you "This is Weevil - He's in our Year" He lowered his voice "He got moved up from the year below"
"Oh - Okay..." You smiled weakly "Hi, Weevil?"
"Nice to meet you" Weevil replied - his fiddled with his Glasses slightly "Where are you from?"
"Nowhere" You said quickly, looking around for any signs of Joey - Not realising Weevil's look of confusion
"Lost?" Rex asked blankly
"Huh?" You turned back "Yeah you could say that - I'm supposed to be meeting someone in the Cafeteria to show me around... Thing is- I don't know where the Cafeteria is" You grinned weakly "So you can see my Problem"
"Oh" Rex scratched his ear "We can show you where it is"
You felt the awkward feeling slightly disappear at his words.
"Really?" You asked eagerly "I mean, you will?"
"Sure, why not?" Rex shrugged "We're going there anyway"
"Thank you so much" You beamed
Weevil rolled his eyes as Rex grinned with Pride. The three of you walked towards the Cafeteria, and Weevil asked his question again.
"So you didn't specify where you're from" Weevil raised an eyebrow
"Oh right" You laughed in spite of yourself "Well, I originally came from an Orphanage in Kyoto, and-"
"You're adopted?" Rex asked in shock
"Yeah... So?" You looked at him simply "Does it mean anything?"
"It's just a little weird" Rex finished lamely "Sorry"
"I moved here when I was adopted" You continued "But I went to a different School, but this Year my Sister came and-"
Suddenly a large China plate came whizzing past your ear. You gave a yelp and ducked as a Plastic tray went soaring over Weevil's head - Causing him to double back in shock as it crashed into the wall behind him.
"What the hell?!" You shouted frantically "What's going on?!"
You sidestepped along the wall as Rex and Weevil crouched so the Flying plates and cutlery missed them. There seemed to be a Food fight raging on inside. You peered through the side of the door and felt your jaw drop.
"Why don't ya go Back to your Stupid Company Kaiba!"
It was Joey. He grabbed someone's mug and threw it as hard as he could towards a Brown haired man standing on the otherside of the room. The mug missed, smashing over a Girl's head - causing her to squeal loudly and fling her hands over her hair as the contents of the mug rained down.
"Wheeler" Kaiba warned "Stop causing such a scene, I'm only here to-"
Joey didn't bother hearing out his Sentence - but complied by chucking someone's pencil case that had been left on the desk at Kaiba's face - Knocking the Tall man backwards - and sending a bunch of students into hysterics.
"This has to be the Third time this has happened now" Rex's voice broke the stunned silence in the hall as some more Students joined in the fight "Whatever Class Wheeler's in at Recess gets turned into a War Zone"
"Why's he going nuts at that Kaiba guy?" You asked, eyes still wide with shock
"Those two don't get on" Weevil said simply - Another plate whizzed past his ear, making him jump backwards "Damn it-"
Joey had grabbed a now empty saucepan. Kaiba was still recovering from the rest of the attacks - and the rest of the class were fighting for their lives by throwing food around themselves. Suddenly a girl shot forwards in front of Kaiba just as Joey flung the huge Pot.
"Stop it-Chan~" Cried a familiar voice from inside "Joey, Please-!"
The Pot flew into Vel's shoulder, causing her to fly backwards into Kaiba. She winced and put a hand to her shoulder, which was bent oddly.
"Sis!" Rex shouted furiously "WHEELER-"
Rex went to run inside - But someone slammed the door in his face again. You stumbled backwards into Weevil as another Plate smashed into the glass window in the door. All you could see was Joey being restrained by a Girl with Brown hair, who looked like she had gotten the bad end of the Ketchup container.
"Is Vel your-?" You asked suddenly, looking at Rex
"Her name ends with Raptor - Answer the question?" Rex looked at you, he was still trying to force open the door, but it wasn't budging "God - If anything happens that Wheeler is dead-"
You stared on aghast as Shouts and screams could be heard from inside. Suddenly the door swung open - the Ketchup covered, Brown haired girl stumbling out - almost crashing into Rex.
"I'm going to go get some Help-" She said breathlessly "Your Sister might need some help Rex" She added quickly, a large droplet of Ketchup fell from her fringe
She burst into a run, furiously wiping her face from the Ketchup as Rex ran inside. You loitered around outside for a moment with Weevil - Feeling rather unsure whether or not to go into the war zone.
"Does Rex need any help?" You asked Weevil, sounding frightened
"He should be able to handle it" Weevil said quickly, but he didn't sound sure
But moments later, Rex came stumbling out of the room, helping along not only Vel - but a very familiar blond haired girl...
"Taylor?!" You yelped - Grabbing her by the shoulders you Held her upright "What happened?! What were you doing in there?!-"
"Sis-" Taylor managed to get out as you babbled on frantically "I'm fine! Just a few too many Trays to the head is all"
A few feet away, Rex was trying to assure Vel he'd murder Joey for hurting her arm. Vel sweatdropped awkwardly as he went into great detail, causing Weevil to cringe.
"I told you before-Chan, I'm fine Rex" Vel said firmly
"-And another thing" Rex started "Why don't you ever say 'Chan' after my Name?"
"Because-Chan" Vel smiled cheekily "You're my Older Brother-Chan! So I can't~"
There was a crackle over the loud speakers. The five of you froze as an Unfamiliar male voice called out.
"Due to extensive damage to the Maths Room and the Cafeteria - The School is temporarily shut down... Please find your way home, School will be resumed on Monday next week" You gaped up at the loudspeaker on the wall "For anyone wishing to arrange rides home, feel free to use the office phone-"
"Woohoo!" Taylor cheered, she punched the air, wincing as her wrist cracked "Ow... Well Reika?" She grinned at you "Another whole week of Holidays!"
"Taylor..." You said slowly "You do realize that our PARENTS aren't home all week!"
Taylor blinked for a minute as you stared at her. Slowly she opened her mouth in realization.
"Crap!" Taylor stomped a foot "What are we going to do? They won't trust us alone in the house for a whole week!"
You and Taylor both hung your heads in disappointment. Vel suddenly looked from the two downtrodden teenagers to her Brother and back again. Slowly - She smiled to herself.
"Rex~" Vel turned to her Brother "How would feel if I invited some friends over for the Week-Chan?"
"Week?" Rex raised an eyebrow "A week long Sleep-over?"
"Yeah-Chan" Vel nodded "Week long Sleepover-Chan"
"Uhhh... It's not him is it?" Rex asked sourly, making Weevil look confused
"Oh No-Chan" Vel shook her head smiling "No it's not him-Chan"
"Well... Okay" Rex shrugged "Go for it"
"Thanks Rex!" Vel beamed, quickly - she took a step towards Taylor and you "How would you like to spend the week at our house-Chan?" Rex's jaw dropped as Taylor and you blinked in response "We wouldn't mind-Chan!"
"Hey wait a minute" Rex waved his hands frantically
Taylor looked at you for a moment questioningly. You raised an eyebrow and snorted.
"What's that look for?" You asked dully "I'm not the one giving permission"
"So you're cool with it?" Taylor asked eagerly
You shrugged. Taylor beamed and turned back to Vel, giving her a thumbs up.
"We'll call Mom when we get to your place - She won't care!" Taylor reassured her quickly "This is so awesome!" Taylor grinned again
You looked away, the awkward feeling welling up in your stomach again. Something about this just screamed Trouble.
Maybe it was the looks on Rex and Weevil's faces.
