The Goggle-head Boys

Chapter Six

By KellyQ

The hallway became bristled with students getting to their lockers and out the door after the bell rang. A boy with short blond hair and icy blue eyes walked nonchalantly down the hallway. Most the students kept out of his way, or didn't pay any attention. He straightened up when he saw a girl with a long ponytail, lavender eyes, a short cotton white dress, and white cowboy boots.

"What do you want … Nene?" The blond asked.

"I've noticed that you have an interest in Taiki," Nene pointed out. "I am interested in him too, Christopher."

Christopher narrowed his eyes. "I can get him myself, Nene."

Amusement flashed across her eyes. "Why not wait when he's alone?"

Christopher raised a brow. That could work, but Taiki was always with his other Goggle-Head friends, how could he? He had been interested in Taiki for a while, and he wanted to approach him, but he had been too uncomfortable with the other Goggle-Heads, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Nene looked over Christopher's shoulder and smiled; it took a moment for Christopher to realize that he needed to turn around and see what got her excited. Sure enough it was Taiki, walking down the hallway. Surprisingly, he was by himself. Christopher must've zoned out because he didn't realize that Nene had all ready started talking to Taiki until her silky voice broke him out his thought. All Christopher could do was glare. His glare got Taiki's attention and their eyes met. The same feeling that Taiki got, when he told his other Goggle-head friends that someone was watching came back. Now he knew what the actual feeling was - discomfort.

Taiki looked back at Nene. "It was nice to meet you." He turned and walked briskly down the hallway. He kept up that pace until he found the other Goggle-heads, waiting for him.

Again, Tagiru was the first to notice something was off. Taichi wasn't too far off. "What's up?"

"Do you remember the other day that I felt that I was being watched?"

"Yea?"

"Some girl came up to me and introduced herself as Nene," Taiki started, "as she talked, I got that same feeling, and when I looked over her shoulder and some blonde guy with motionless blue eyes stared at me ... the only thing I could figure was that he was the one who was watching me."

Takato frowned. "Did you find out what he wanted?"

The others shook their heads as if what he said didn't make any sense because the way Taiki walked up to them, he looked tense.

"Anyways," Takuya said, snapping everyone out of their reverie, "lets head over the arcade and have some fun!"

The arcade was busy as usual. People played on games, music was in the air, and multiple conversations could be heard. The first thing they did was order a box of pizza, a liter of soda, and one Cotton Candy. The Cotton Candy was the first to be devoured.

"What game should we try first?" Takuya pondered, glancing around. He then noticed a teen his age. At first he thought it was Ken. "Daisuke, isn't that your friend Ken?"

Daisuke looked up sharply from his plate of a half eaten pizza and looked to where Takuya pointed. The teen looked like Ken, but his short hair was frizzy, and his clothes he had on being too formal. He was then accompanied by another teen who looked identical, but he had long hair pulled back in a log ponytail with a bandana around his head. He wore a yellow T-shirt, yellow and blue windbreaker, and dark pants and blue sneakers.

"That's not Ken," Daisuke pointed out, going back to finish his last two bites, a bit disappointed that he wasn't.

"I gathered that when he came up and started to talk to him," Takuya grouched, keeping his eye on the two of them, "but I have seen the one with longer hair in computer class. I think his name is Kouji.."

"Then that must be his brother," Taichi concluded.

Takuya got up and went over to the twins. The rest of the Goggle-heads watched Takuya introduce himself. Apparently, Kouji refused to even make eye contact with Takuya as his brother seemed to try and pursue Kouji to to even say hi.

"It was nice to meet you!" They heard Takuy say, as he turned and walked back to sit down. "Gezz! Kouji definitely needs to work on his social skills! At least Koichi was nice enough to introduce himself."

The others nodded their heads. I'll have to invite Ken! Daisuke thought. He chuckled to himself. It would be fun! Taichi watched with curiosity from the corner of his eye. This should be interesting, he thought.
