For today, Kai

Chapter Three

Told by Kai

And today, we get to hear from Kai!

Well, technically speaking, it's read.

You're going to be worse than Fang, aren't you?

Maybe.

I swing the strap of my black messenger bag over my head to sit on my left shoulder. The bag itself rests by my right knee. With a final three fingered wave, I stride out of the room and through the halls. I head up the stairs, on my way to the library.

The library. A truly magical place. My favorite place to go after school. That, and the art room. Those are the two places you'll find me after school.

Walking into the library, Mrs. Brown greets me. "Buona pomeriggio, Mrs. Brown. How was your day?"

Mrs. Brown is the best librarian you could have. She's still in her late twenties or early thirties, but looks like she's no older than 25. She's really nice, but not too nice. As in, I'm-going-to-be-a-total-pushover-and-let-you-do-whatever-without-getting-in-trouble. I help her out in the library all the time. She is fit and has long brown hair. She's always stylish.

Mrs. Brown sighs. "It was good, but Lucas was the library aid today."

I groan in sympathy. "He's annoying, isn't he?"

"Oh, yeah. He wouldn't stop talking."

"I understand. He sat by me all last year. I thought my ear would fall off."

"Okay. So I need all of these books filed. And I'm going to be making a book order soon, so if you have any books you think I should get for the library, tell me." Mrs. Brown says, jumping subjects.

"I'll work on a list." I file the books, then go and curl up in my little nook in the corner of the library. I read for awhile, then pull out my red and black Veer phone and look at the time. Upon seeing, I jump up, stuffing the book into my bag.

"I have to pick up the flock from all of their after school activities."

"Did Jazmine already go home?"

"No, she has choir." I answer.

"Oh. Well, bye, Kai. Have a good afternoon."

"Buona sera, Mrs. Brown." I say, using "evening" instead of "afternoon."

I quickly walk through the threshold of the front doors, breathing the free air. Maneuvering myself through the throngs of lingering students, I slowly but surely push my way to the back of the student parking lot. the crowds thin the closer to the back I get.

Ah, there it is. My baby. Well, besides my laptop. And my swords. And my bows and arrows. And my maces. And my drums. And my violin. And my hammer. And my phone.

Okay, so I have a lot of babies. Get over it, don't judge me!

Anyway, there it is. My sleek black Lamborghini. On the hood is a lion head with flames for a mane. Running down the sides are sleek black wings, outlined by white, that have a few red feathers. The red is my favorite shade of red- a mix between venom red and blood red. I had painted them on there myself when I got the car.

I pull the handle, making the doors lift open. I slide into the seat, and just get the door closed when someone walks up to the car. I roll my window down as he leans on the hood.

"Yo, Hunter. Get off of my car, before I kill you."

You know, it's really nice having the entire football team afraid of you...

Anyway.

Hunter is a tall, lanky football player who thinks he's all that. His close-cropped light blonde hair goes with bright blue eyes.

Did I mention he's had a crush on me since eighth grade? He's afraid of me, yet has a crush on me.

This guy needs to get a life.

Sorry, I'm ranting again.

Yeah, you tend to do that a lot.

Aren't you supposed to be quiet!? Besides, I'm telling the story. So shut up.

I'd listen to her, if I were you. She follows through with her threats.

Hunter immediately stand up strait. Then he takes a step forward and leans his elbows on the window sill.

"I wouldn't mind riding with you."

I roll my eyes. "I would. Now get lost."

"Oh, come on, Kai-"

"Hey, why don't you make yourself useful and go choke on something? Maybe then the world would be a better place." I push his arms, causing him to stumble, then, laughing, roll the window up. Right before it closes, I say, "Later, loser."

I put my car into drive and pull out of the student parking lot. I swing through the circle drive at the back to where a few of the flock is waiting. Nudge and Ella rush out through the doors right as I pull in.

"About time. Now where's Jazmine?" Right as the words leave Max's mouth, Jazmine pulls up in her dark blue mustang. It has a white tiger on the hood, black wings with dark blue feathers and edging. I helped her paint them.

I open the doors. "Who's riding with me?" Iggy and his best friend, who's Ryder's little brother, Gazzy jump up. Ryder stands. They all walk to the car, Iggy and Gazzy get in the back. The girls all pile into Jazmine's mustang.

"Hey, Angel!" Nudge says excitedly as she sees the 8th grader.

Angel, who should be in 7th grade but skipped a few, lives up to her name. At least to those who don't know her well. She's really sweet and never passes up a chance to help out. To complete her look are perfect blonde ringlets and innocent blue eyes.

~'Thanks, Kai.'~

Oh, yeah. Did I mention she reads minds?
