COFFE SHOP

"Guys, seriously…"

5 minutes later

"Come on, stop it its ridiculous! People might actually find out it's the 2 of you!" A girl with a silky black hair hissed. Her brown eyes glanced at random people who'd been using a laptop and looked quite weirded-out at a photo they are receiving.

"Chill Gem, it's all safe. I mean, the coffee shop is huge and we're not the only ones who are online. It's not like they'll ask each and every person in this shop who's behind this." Chad giggled. His eyes locked to the screen. You can see it in his green eyes that he was enjoying it.

"Dude, now take a picture of my mouth!" Tala suggestively beamed with excitement as he grabbed the laptop and tried to focus the cam on his mouth.

"I rest my case. Do what you have to do." Gemini sighed as she settled back down to her couch. She placed her elbow at one side of her couch with her chin resting on her palm, "I hope the guy we've been waiting wouldn't be able to make it today. And also hoping he gets hit by a bus. "

"You're such a meanie Gem." Alana giggled and wiped the icing on the tip of her lip.

"The guy is totally ignoring you and you still have this grudge towards him." Frida made an odd look at Gem. She doesn't get it why Gem couldn't stand insulting him when she could just ignore him just like what he does to her.

"I'm with Frida over here. I remember the last football game you laughed right into his face and told him he sucked the whole time." Alana agreed while pointing her straw as she made her statement.

"I know! And just yesterday you called him a fag out of nowhere!" Frida threw her hands in the air. Her serious dark brown eyes looking bewildered as ever.

Gemini sat straight, "Come on! It's fun to piss him off!" she argued.

"As fun as it may seem, you're close to reaching his temper or close to being a total bonehead." Chad stopped typing something when he informed his friend.

"Whatever, I can say what I want to say to him." Gem raised a brow and crossed her arms, "I don't know why, but everything he does piss me off! It seems that my body has engraved a hate list long before I saw him."

This time, Alana looked oddly at her friend, "Gemmy, you should see a therapist quick."

The two boys and Frida chuckled.

"Ha-ha, for all we know, you try to piss him off to get his attention." Tala laughed at his point.

"Yeah, yeah! Because he's ignoring you!" Chad pointed his fingers in the air as he agreed to his friend and laughed.

Gemini rolled her eyes and punched Chad on the arms because he was seated close to her. "Excuse me Tala and Chad, I'm not trying to get his attention." she cleared with a cool tone, "Actually, back in the fourth grade, when you guys were new in school, my very first glance at that guy I KNEW we weren't going to get along." She stated at a stern tone. "I hate snobby rich guys."

Gemini, Alana and Frida were best friends since first grade. He, Tala and Chad became a new student in fourth grade. During their sophomore years, Frida dated Tala and Alana dated Chad. At first, Gemini wasn't happy at the whole idea of their love life 'cause she usually ends up seeing the guy that she holds anger on because surprisingly he's Chad and Tala's soccer teammate as well as their best friend. But at the end, she refused to be the cause of her best friends' broken hearts. So eventually, when Frida and Tala, and Chad and Alana are a couple now, friendship started to grow between her best friends' boyfriends and her. But still she refuses to talk to him.

"He's not snobbish at all once you get to know him…He's pretty humble about the whole thing." Chad believed, "It's just his aura, and he doesn't talk about his money Gem, actually he doesn't talk much at all! Well, he does…but not in an interested way." He then chuckled.

Gemini yawned. "Don't care. I still refuse to talk to him." then sat straight to have a sip on her Coffee Jelly frappe.

"You have issues Gem. Stop judging the guy." Alana told her firmly. Gem did not respond and her eyes just wandered around the coffee shop.

"Ugh, you're hopeless." she sighed. "But you know, at least he's cool with it." She turned to Tala and Chad.

"Cool with what?" Chad did not seem to follow.

"Cool when you told him that Gem doesn't like him." Alana cleared.

Tala placed his cup down the table and swallowed the coffee, "Actually, he was shocked at first because he only receives bad misjudgments from boys and never from girls." He got his cup again and took a sip. "I'm completely puzzled myself."

"I don't know what sickness Gem has because I can't hold a grudge on a person for years!" Frida exclaimed. "Especially when he's a hottie like him…"

Tala pouted at what his girlfriend had said.

Frida mouthed 'ooh' and cleared him of what she meant, "Oh, no baby, I meant that in general! It's not that I like him." She went closer to him and kissed him on his upper lips softly, "You're my only baby, baby."

Chad finally let go of the laptop and stretched his arms to the side grabbing Alana's shoulder closer to him. "Yeah, and according to those preppy girls on campus, especially Hilary, he's a total babe." He quoted the last word with his fingers and everyone, except Gem, laughed.

They stopped laughing when they saw Gemini went to look at the opposite direction from where she was dozing off before. She mumbled some cursed words as she stared daggers from a distance. The pair of couples turned to look at where and what Gem was scorning about and found out that he finally made it.

"Hey Kai, you made it!"

'Kai…' Gem made a disgusted face while still looking at the opposite direction.

"What's up Hiwatari? Decided to come, huh?" Tala and Kai exchanged knuckles and he sat beside Chad.

'Hiwatari…Kai Hiwatari…' Gem continues to despise the name. You can see from her raised brow that she can't stand the presence of him.

Chad turned to his side to face Kai, "Where were you?"

"Work..."

"Oh," Chad tilted his head "Is this still about the other night?"

"I guess so." He sighed "It doesn't seem like he was disappointed when he knew what I did to his car."

"How so?"

"I don't know. He's probably finding an excuse to make me run the business for a meantime while he and Mom take a vacation." He crossed his arms and laid his back on the couch.

"Why did you use your Dad's car in the first place?" Frida joined the conversation, "Why not your car?"

"Your beloved boyfriend used it on his last race, the night before mine..." Kai raised a brow at Tala who's right in front of him. "The power was off and it looked like it went from a heavy crash."

Tala just made a huge grin, "Sorry bro."

"What were you thinking?! I thought we agreed you wouldn't drag race again! Baby, what if you get hurt! What if--" Frida cried out and babbled on about things that could possibly happen to her boyfriend.

"Babe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," He held Frida tight on the shoulders "I promise that was the last. The guy from a local bar just challenged me because he knew I race. I couldn't back out. I was holding on to my pride." He banged his chest acting like he was all manly.

Gemini just sat there as her friends made their conversation. Her position was still there, her eyes only wandered around her side. She tends to listen at some parts of the talk but she usually zone out for a second from boredom. Anything to make it seem like she's not interested because Kai was there.

"So, I had to use my Dad's car because Chad and Tala wasn't available and I couldn't find someone who could help me repair it by night time." Kai ended.

"Gem's good at cars. She was free." Alana smirked trying to tease her.

"Hm." was all Gem replied.

Kai didn't react at Alana's statement. He refused to be in another stupid argument with Gem. He finds it a little immature and it all ends up both of them calling each other names.

Alana sat straight and beamed trying to change the topic, "Since we're now all here, we can now talk about the plan for that 3 days and 2 nights stay at the Mandarin Hotel!"

"You guys earned enough?" Kai asked in monotonic voice.

"Yeah we did, it's actually more than the money we can use for the trip." Chad smiled with excitement, "And plus, the shirts that we designed and sold actually paid off. And it feels great people are wearing them!"

"Great, who's keeping it?"

"Gem." Alana simply answered. He just turned to look at her for a quick second then back to Alana, "Oh, okay."

"Hey Kai, can you ask your parents if we can use your private plane so we don't have to pay for the tickets?" Tala suggested as he looked up at Kai and took another sip on his coffee.

Gem twitched and was caught off-guard by his suggestion, "HELL NO! We are not riding on his plane. I counted the money myself and we did have some excess money that can pay for the plane tickets!"

"Gemini Grey, you are crazy!" Frida exclaimed, "First, you didn't want us to stay at Kai's place at the Bahamas, which! Would be free instead of the hotel that we booked that is pretty expensive, and now this! Seriously, Gem, if you don't like the idea then you're paying and flying on the plane solo because we're riding Kai's."

"Yeah Gem, I thought we agreed we're going to use the other money for the upcoming summer parties that we're planning." Tala asked confused.

"Err, Tala come on!" Gem whined, "T-t-then we'll just sell some shirts again. Auction maybe?" She suggestively moaned.

"NO." She sighed and crossed her arms.

10 minutes later

After talking about what they would do when they get to the Bahamas beach and their other plans for the summer, Chad and Tala kissed their girlfriends good bye as they made their way to Kai's place with Kai, of course.

"He's gone. You can sit comfortably now." Frida said to Gem who went back to her awkward position after their conversation.

Gemini immediately sat straight and finally had the chance to drink her frappe. "Thank God! I thought I'd never had a chance to drink this again!" She cried out and took and long sip on her drink.

Alana chuckled, "Again, you're hopeless."

"Heh…and Kai's a fag." She tilted her head while she licked the whipped cream on her straw.

'Another long summer…I can feel it.'

It's short, I know. This is just a little introduction to my story. I promise the next chapter will be long.
