Two hearts, one love.
Chapter 1: First day back
Tapping her foot impatiently, Crystal lazily thumbed through the magazine. Why is it that receptions always have magazines eight months out of date? She thought absentmindedly.
"You may go in now Crystal" the sectary said to her with a reassuring smile.
Like she needed any reassurance. She walked through the oak paneled door leading into the principal's office to see the principal himself sitting behind his desk.
"Hello Miss Chan, would you please take a seat?" he asked, gesturing to the chair in front of the desk.
I sat down without a word studying my surroundings. The office was quite lavishly furnished with dark oak furniture and I wondered whether this was all at his own expense or whether he had splurged the school fees on decorating his office.
"Miss Chan, I am Mr. Stuart, your principal and I would like to welcome you to St. Xavier secondary college. Now I know this must be hard for you, changing schools and all but the students here are all very friendly and it won't be long until you make friends" he said.
I diverted my attention back towards him and suppressed the need to roll my eyes.
"Now I don't think there's much more to say for the time being. You may head off to class now; my sectary will give you your timetable. If you have any concerns at all, please feel free to come to me any time" He finished.
"Thank-you" I said politely and pasted a smile onto my face. I exited the office and received my timetable from the sectary. I glanced at the clock briefly and figured I should head off to homeroom.
Kai's POV
"Yo man, how was your summer?" Rei asked me.
I shrugged, "Okay I suppose" I responded while staring off into space.
"So have you heard about the new girl yet?" Tala questioned when he slid into the seat next to me.
"No. Why? What year is she in?" Rei replied.
"Apparently she's in our year.and really hot" Tala answered.
"Really? Well I'll be the judge of that" I said bored.
"You know you should-" Rei began but was cut off when the classroom door opened and the teacher stepped inside.
"Good morning class and welcome back to another year of school. I trust you all had a good summer. My name's Ms. Carmel and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year. Today I'd like to introduce you to a new student. I hope that you all make her feel welcomed. Miss Chan, will you please come in?" the teacher said.
"Now we'll see whether the rumors are true or not" Tala whispered.
The door open halfway and a slimly built girl entered the room. Instantly the boys erupted into whistles and catcalls.
It was obvious that the rumors were true, I grudgingly admitted to myself. The girl had straight glossy midnight black hair which was shoulder length and the uniform, which was composed of a white shirt, black knee high socks, pleated shirt and jumper with a black tie with white stripes, fitted her body perfectly showing off her curves. But the most unique feature about her was her almond-shaped eyes which were aqua and consisted of baby blue with flecks of emerald green and stood out boldly. Her legs seemed to go on forever and her complexion was smooth.
"Miss Chan, would you like to tell us a bit about yourself?" Ms. Carmel asked and the girl shrugged indifferently.
"My name's Crystal Chan and I'm from Hong Kong. I moved here since my father transferred for his business." She said.
"Does anybody have any questions for Crystal?" Ms Carmel asked.
While Crystal was bombarded with questions, I studied the way in which she stood and held herself. She stood straight, her posture indicated that she was quite confident and she seemed to hold herself quite well considering the fact that she was in a whole new school and country.
"Now let's see, we'll need somebody to show you around Crystal." Ms. Carmel said and gazed around the classroom. When I felt her eyes land on me, I looked up expectantly. "Kai will you be so kind as to show Miss Chan here around the school?" Ms Carmel asked sweetly.
"Sure" I said ignoring the envious looks on all other guys faces.
"Great well why don't you show her to locker? It's." She said and consulted her list. "Locker #223. And unless I'm mistaken, yours is #225 Kai. Right next to hers. Convenient huh?" she confirmed. "Well off you go! Have fun!" She said chirpily and waved her hand towards the door.
Sighing, I got up and exited the classroom. I looked over my shoulder to make sure that Crystal was following. Sure enough she was behind me, glancing about the hallway.
"So what class do you have next?" I asked her, feeling the need to make conversation.
"Chemistry" She replied.
"With Mr. Andrews?" I enquired lifting an eyebrow.
"Yeah. What do you have next?" she asked.
"Same as you." I responded and came to a stop in front of a bank of lockers. She studied them for a moment, spun her combo and began piling books into it.
I turned towards my locker. Now what was my combo again? Oh right, 21, 9, 44. I twisted the lock and tugged down. Nothing. I tried again. Nothing once more. I growled in frustration. Okay, third time's the charm. Nothing. I hit the locker with my fist and the sound echoed throughout the hallway.
"Want some help?" a voice asked sweetly.
I turned to find Crystal leaning casually against the locker observing me with a thoughtful look in her eyes. I grunted and stepped aside. She looked at me expectantly.
"What?" I grumbled.
"I'm going to need to know your combo if I'm going to open this for you" she said tapping her perfectly manicured finger against my locker.
I sighed. "21, 9, 44" I answered reluctantly.
She twirled the lock, tugged down and it obediently opened with a click. "Voila" she said triumphantly.
I merely glared.
"What? Don't glare at me like that. It's not nice you know. Oh and don't worry, I won't break into your locker" Crystal said playfully.
"Gee thanks" I said sarcastically.
"No problem" she replied back. "Now let's go to Chem." She said and began to skip off down the hall.
"Umm, Crystal?" I said smirking. "The Chem room is that way" I said pointing in the opposite direction.
"Oh right. Thanks" she said sheepishly. "Now what would I do without you Kai?" she asked with a wink.
I scowled. Was she always like this?
Crystal's POV
After following Kai down the hallway to the bio room and entering it, I hesitated for a fraction of a second at the doorway. Where to sit? I pondered and bit my lip lightly.
"Hey Crystal. Over here" a guy with blood red hair called out. I vaguely remembered him from homeroom. As I headed towards him, I noticed Kai sitting next to him.
"Oi Kai, move down a seat will you?" another guy with a black ponytail asked him.
Muttering something underneath his breath, Kai reluctantly moved down a seat. I slid into the seat between Kai and the red haired guy.
"Thanks Kai-kun" I said, curving my lips into a smile and winking at him once more. Kai merely scowled before opening up his textbook. I turned around to face the red haired boy who had called me over before.
"Hi, I'm Tala" he said with a smile.
"I'm Crystal" I said, returning the smile.
"Don't forget about me" the guy with the black ponytail sitting next to Tala said. "I'm Rei" he said and extended his hand to me. I reached my hand thinking that he wanted to shake hands but instead he gently held my hand and raised them up to his lips. I smirked. This guy was cute, but he's so smooth that he glides.
"Charmed I'm sure" I said rolling my eyes.
"Cut it with the Prince Charming act Rei" Kai muttered.
"Hey, not my fault you know. Can't help myself if there's a pretty girl in front of my. I don't know how you manage. But the again, you go for guys right?" Rei said jokingly.
"Ha, ha, very funny. Like I haven't heard that one before" Kai replied dryly.
I glanced at Tala and from the bored expression on his face, I concluded that this was a normal routine. The teacher entered the room and said that we were to be doing pracs today and to pair up. Tala had already turned to Rei despite his protests that he wanted to work with me. I turned to Kai who shrugged and said that he'd get the equipment and that I was to get a bench. I followed Rei who seemed to be getting a bench too and sat at the one next to him.
"So how do you like Japan so far?" he asked me when I sat down.
"It's very different from Hong Kong." I said after I thought for a moment.
"Is different bad or good?" he asked.
"Well it's good I suppose" I replied.
"So do you-"
"Oi lazy ass! Stop chatting up Crystal and get some test tubes" Tala called out across the room interrupting Rei.
Rei shrugged and smiled apologetically at me before getting up.
"Do you know what we're doing?" Kai asked surprising me.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Do you have the sheet?" I answered.
"Here" he said and thrust the sheet towards me.
I skimmed through it. "Yeah, this is pretty basic stuff." I replied.
"Good. Now since I got the equipment, you can do the prac" Kai said.
"What?" I asked.
"You heard me" he said.
I scowled. I am not doing this all by myself I thought.
"Kai please help me?" I asked him.
"No. You're just the woman so you should do the work." He responded.
"Just the woman?" I said becoming mad. "What the hell is your problem?"
"You" he said smartly.
"You don't even know me! Now you better help me or else I'm not going to do anything"
"Really? Do you want to get a F for this prac?" he said.
"I couldn't care less! I've already done this course in Hong Kong and received first class honours for it. So a F wouldn't really matter!" I retorted with a smirk.
Now it was Kai's turn to scowl.
Just then, the teacher walked by.
"Having any problems?" he asked when he saw the look on Kai's face.
"None at all sir." I said chirpily. "Kai was just about to boil the mixture, right Kai?" I said sweetly.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" he muttered and began to mix the chemicals together.
"You know you are such a brat" he grumbled the moment the teacher had left our bench.
"Damn right I am! And a cute one at that!" I responded.
"Well I for one don't think you're cute" he said after he set the chemicals to boil.
"Aww, Kai, you've hurt my feelings" I said pouting. "Don't you love me Kai- kun?"
"No I do not love you and the name is Hiwatari. I'd prefer it if you called me that and didn't call me 'Kai-kun'" he said.
"Why ever not?" I said batting my eyelashes at him.
"Because I don't want you to" he responded.
"Whatever you say, Kai-kun" I said and giggled at the annoyed look on his face.
Okaiz.so what did you all think? If you liked it then please review. Be nice since it's my first fan fic so I don't particularly want any flames.
