Hey! I've decided to add the Cole x Kai ship in this story. I really wanted to do a Jay x Kai one, but I've decided that would be too hard to write in. You may suggest any occurances with the characters, but, I. DO. NOT. WRITE. SMUT.
Chapter 3
Cole's POV:
"Kai, I honestly think you shouldn't be playing. You hit your head pretty hard on the ground." I tried to consult my friend gently.
"Shut up Cole, I know what I'm doing. I'm fine." He argued with me as he passed the ball to another kid in our grade who I have yet to find their name.
"Fine, HotHead." I teased him meaningful as he attempted to avoid me throughout the game.
I looked over at Kai with a smirk. Being a bothersome to my friend was something I constantly enjoyed, but sometimes I needed to tell myself to stop before I got too far.
I noticed that Kai was taking quick glances at the clock. I completely forgot he had to pick up his sister from Robotics club and take her home. Kai's sister, Nya, may only be one year younger than us, but she is, in all honesty, one of the smartest people I know. I have no clue as to how she got that way, both of them work hard, but Nya always seems to work harder, and I am proud of her for it. She deserves it.
"Alright guys, it's 3 pm, I'm gonna go pick up Nya now. You coming Cole?" Kai offered to me. I shrugged my shoulders a yes.
"Eh, why not." I agreed and went over to grab my stuff.
Kai nodded with a smiled as we both walked out of the Gym room, waving a parting sign to our peers. Once closing the door, we looked down the halls, following our feet to our designation.
I looked over at the friend with a smile. How in the world did I ever deserve someone like him? Kai and I have stuck together since elementary school, and I expected us to fall apart by now. I mean, that was how most friendships worked. Or at least that's what I've come to understand from experiences.
During my train of thought, Kai looked over at me as well. Instead of pointing out my embarrassing state, he simply smiled back. I nodded and went back to looking ahead of me. He understood me and I understood him. Together we'll understand better as one.
"You know, I hear that Jay has a crush on your sister." I gossipped to Kai.
"Eh, I've heard. I'm watching out for her. No one's gonna touch her. Just watch your own back Cole." Kai smoothly replied.
"You got it Captain." I saluted my friend with humor as we both began to laugh.
"I will never understand you Coleman Hence." Kai shook his head with a smile, using almost my full name. I hate the name Coleman, that's why I go by Cole. But Kai was simple teasing me, so I didn't take it harshly.
"I don't expect you too." I smiled and looked at the vibrant smile he gave off. His smile was a burning sensation of a smirk and I adored it.
Looking at Kai instead of where I'm walking may be a bad idea, but it was worth it. I secretly hoped he'd notice me and smile back, showing me how calm and chill this friendship could be. But Kai was too focused of where we were headed to bother with my presence, and I can't blame him. I tend to bother Kai at the most terrible times, but I find it funny, even if he doesn't most of the time.
As I started to look down the hall, my eyes found the door that held all the Robotics kids. It wasn't open, so I guess they were taking a few extra minutes, nothing new, they always do that.
So, like always, Kai and I lean against the locker and slide down to sit down. Our shoulders side by side and our backs resting on the cold lockers.
I watched Kai take out his phone to do hell knows what. I didn't bother taking out my phone, I was too lazy. So I allowed Kai to occupy himself with the electronic as I watched my feet stay still.
"Hey Cole, what color are your eyes?" Kai asked me suddenly.
"Um, I don't know." I was honest with him.
"Here, let me see." He offered.
I looked over at Kai and he looked at me. Our eyes locked together like a sudden glue. I saw him bit his lips and fidgit with his hands, he really couldn't stay still, could he?
"You uh, you have, there's a," Kai stammered, pointing the hair that covered my eyes.
Kai carefully moved the hair behind my ear gently, making sure he could see my face. The close contact sent a sensation down my spine. I couldn't explain the feeling, nor would I like to. I don't want to say the right thing, and I'm afraid that what others see as the wrong answer may be the right one. It's too much to explain and I'm not going to bother trying.
I noticed we were both doing the same thing. We kept looking up and down from each other's eyes to each other's lips. I don't know why, a habit I guess? I want to say it was a habit, although I've never done it.
I notice the feeling on my cheek. Kai's hand was still on my face, gently caressing it with appreciation. I could feel myself blushing. I saw the blush showing on Kai, like a firery red. At this point I noticed our lips were only inches apart, the distance so short but so far from each other.
I could feel his lips pulling closer to mine. Slowly lessening the inches between the distance. Before his soft looking skin could touch mine, we heard the door next to us open.
With a sudden jerk we both moved away from each other and went back to leaning against the wall. We acted as casual as we could as students began to walk out. It wasn't long before three all too familiar faces walked out. Nya Smith. Jay Walker. Zane Julien.
Kai and I both pretended to ignore them as we waited for then to say something in order to break us from our fake deep focus.
"Oh, hey guys!" Nya kindly greeted as Kai and I both looked up. Our blush had gone away.
"Hey sis." Kai greeted sweetly as we both jumped to our feet.
"Hey Shorty." I joked with her as I rubbed her head jokingly. She immediately pushed my hand away.
"Knock it off." She chuckled as I backed away a bit.
My eyes focused on the two boys behind her. The one on the left had a reddish brown hair color that was very soft and swift, parted to the side as well. Most of his clothing was blue and coordinate with the casual black or white. Jayson Walker. Other wise known as Jay. I don't talk to Jay all that often, but we hang out every now and then. My best friend is Kai, and Kai's sister, Nya, is best friends with Jay. So we talk more often than I expected.
The boy on the right was taller than Jay and I. His hair was close to being white, it was such a light blonde that it seemed icey. His hair stuck up like electricty, but was cut off neatly at the top. His outfit was plain and simple colored. White, gray, and black. He didn't have much originallity. Zane Julien. Just like Jay, I only know him through Kai's sister. Before I knew him I wouldn't go near that kid. He didn't talk often, and when he did it was in the most odd structure. But he's grown on me, I've started to like the guy.
"How you doing Sparky?" I smirked at Jay with consideration.
A lot of the time I'll call Jay Sparky because of an unfortunate occurrence he had. Jay is very much into inventing, but not all into safety. A couple years ago we were all in his parents garage. I was talking with Kai, Nya, and Lloyd while Zane and Jay worked on an old project. I remember Zane backing away, fearing the worst. He warned Jay, but Jay refused to listen. In an instant, electricty ran through Jay's body. His hair stuck up like a porcupine as fear showed on his face. We all thought he had fried his brain, but it was only a simple shock. Since then, I've known him as Sparky.
"I'm doing just fine." Jay responded with a chuckle as I nodded. I looked over to Zane.
"How about you Frosty?" I smiled at the blank faced Junior.
Last Winter everyone decided it would be fun to go ice skating on the frozen lake. Everyone obviously came. Kai was the worst of all, but Zane was suprisinly good at it. Is there anything that kid can't do? But, after trying to spin around, Zane ended up falling into the snow and rolling down the hill. He had snow covering all over him, he looked like Frosty the Snowman. So I tend to call him Frosty every now and then. He just doesn't understand sarcasm sometimes.
"I am doing relatively well." He nodded with a smile as I awarded him with a smile back.
"Hey, you got a ride home Cole?" I looked over to see who offered me a ride. Jay. I was honest with him.
"Not really, I was planning on walking." I admitted to the peer.
"Cool, how long is the walk?" He smiled, curious.
"Uh, 45 minutes." I mumbled out, ashamed that I thought it was a good idea.
"What?!?! Dude, you can ride with Zane and I." Jay offered.
I look over at Zane, as if I'm asking him if he would be Ok with that. He nodded back at me, agreeing with the offer. I wanted to accept it. I really did. But I fear that after they drop me off, they'll see how much of a crazy dancing fanatic my Dad is. I've tried keeping that locked away as long as possible. I'm not gonna let that change now.
"Nah, I'll be fine." I politely declined.
"You sure?" Jay asked, wanting assurance.
I kindly nodded a yes and watched as all 4 friends quietly left the school. If only I had know what walking alone had in store, I would've taken that offer in a heartbeat.
Cliffhanger! I hope you liked it! - Please Review.
