Listen To Your Heart
"Leave (Get Out)"
(I don't own Jo Jo either)
"What?!" TK exclaimed.
"I said Seth's here," Kari answered calmly. "It's unlocked, let yourself in!"
"What? Why?" TK asked, slightly panicking. 'He's not suppose to be here! He's gonna ruin everything!'
"When I was canceling our date, he kinda invited himself over. He said he needed help in math too," answered Kari as they heard the apartment door open.
"Hope! He's not even in our math class. He's in Algebra II, I think. That is if he's even smart enough to be in Algebra II," TK whispered.
"TK, that was really mean. He's really nice guy if you get to know him," Kari whispered back.
"I do know him. He's not all that nice like you think he is," replied TK.
"Hey Seth! Have a seat," Kari said cheerfully. "Are you hungry or thirsty?"
"I'm good babe. Thanks for offer though," answered Seth cockily.
"Ok, TK did ya finish the problem I started for you?" Kari asked.
"No, cause I don't know how to do it," answered TK angrily.
"Ok, I'll walk you through it again," and Kari took the pencil and started coaching TK through it.
"Wow, Hope," Seth purposely interrupted. "You would make a really good teacher when you grow up," Kari stopped in the middle of the problem again and looked back at Seth.
"Thanks Seth. I kinda wanna be a teacher when I grow up," replied Kari.
"Well, you're gonna be the best," replied Seth. "I'll be sure to send my kids to you!"
'What a suck up!' TK and Kari thought at the same time.
'I have to make TK jealous, I have to make TK jealous,' Kari thought to herself. "Awwww, thanks Seth!"
"Hope, I need your help! So would you please help me?" TK asked, starting to get aggravated.
"Ok, ok I'll finish the problem for you and then I want you to do one by yourself while I help Seth," said Kari as she finished the problem. "Now you do one, ok?" Kari asked and TK nodded. "Ok Seth, show me what your learning and I'll try to help."
"Log problems," he answered and opened his text book up to show her.
"Ugh...I hate those things soooo much. They are such a pain to learn."
"Yeah, so you know how to do them?" Seth asked and Kari nodded. "Good, cause I am so screwed, cause we have a test on them tomorrow. But I just can't pay attention in math class. Do you realize how big Miss Harrison's boobs are?"
"Um...No!" Kari answered, shaking her head. She didn't mind talking about this kind of stuff with other girls, but with a guy... it just made it uncomfortable.
"Hope, I finished!" TK interrupted and Kari looked to see if it was right.
"Good job TK, you did it! Except your shading is wrong, otherwise you got the concept of it! To double check the shading, you pick a point on the graph on either side of the line..."
"Hope, I heard you made the cheer leading squad!" Seth interreupted again.
"Yeah, I did," and she went back to work with TK.
"So are you going to be ready by Thursday?" Seth asked.
"Coach says I will," answered Kari.
"So...you'r egonna cheer for me?" Seth asked cockily.
'Make TK jealous, make TK jealous,' Kari looked over at Seth, "of course!"
"Hope!" TK said, trying to get back her attention.
"Oh, I'm sorry TK! Ok so you pick a point on the graph on either side of the line and you put it back in the..."
"You should do a cheer for me now, so I know what expect!" Seth said, purposely trying to distract her attention from TK.
'Make TK jealous, make TK jealous. I don't want to do it but I gotta make TK jealous,' she deliberated in her mind. "Ok," as she got up and started doing a cheer. TK was starting to get frustrated, when ever he finally got Hope's attention and got her to explain the problem to him, Seth would distract her. TK started to bang his head on the desk as Seth clapped his hands and encouraged her to continue. "Ok," she said and immediately stopped when she saw TK banging his head on the table. "Lets get back to work!" Kari sat back down at the desk. "TK, I'm gonna show Seth how to do his homework, so then I can help you and he won't interrupt!"
"No, no, no, you can help TK," said Seth.
"No, cause then you always interrupt!" As she took his book and looked at the problem. She explained how to do them slow enough so Seth could understand the material. "Now you do one," she turned back to see an angry TK but when he looked back at her, he smiled. "I'm so sorry TK, can you remind me what I was helping you with?"
"You said I shaded wrong and something about finding points and stuff," he reminded her.
"Oh yeah, ok so you pick a point on the graph on either side of the line and you put it back in the original problem. If it comes out to be equal, that's the side you shade. If it doesn't come out equal, then you shade the other side!"
"So Hope, do you have any other cheers?" Seth asked.
"Are you done already? Cause if you are, you must know how to do these, cause I can't even do them that fast!" Kari replied as she saw the finished problem on his paper. "Wow, Seth, that's right! You're really good with these!" Kari said sarcastically, but Seth didn't hear it.
"N..N..Nooo, I struggle really hard with these!" Seth stammered. He was a horrible liar.
"Yeah, I'm sure you do," she continued her sarcasm. "I need a break," and she got up and left the room.
"She...is so HOT!" Seth said as soon as she left, "do you think I can get laid tonight?"
"No, she's way to cool for you," said TK. "Besides, you can't score in basketball, how can you think your gonna score with her?"
"You are a fuckin' dead man Takaishi!" Seth threatened as he jumped on TK and wrestled him to the floor.
Kari could hear the scuffling from the kitchen. She rushed back to her room to see what the heck was going on. "Oh my gosh! Seth! Get off him!" Kari panicked and Seth obeyed. Kari rushed to TK's side to see if he was alright. "TK, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. But I've had enough!" TK answered angrily as he got up from the floor with Kari's assistance. "I came over tonight for your help Hope because you said you knew how to do this shit and all you do is talk with Seth the whole time! I'm going home!" TK stormed out of her room.
"TK, wait!" Kari said and followed TK.
"What?" TK angrily turned around.
"I'm sorry TK, I promise to help you this time and I won't get distracted," pleaded Kari.
"No," TK sternly replied, he was too angry to stay. "Besides I have other homework to do," he lied.
"I can help you with that too," she offered.
"No...you're not in the class," TK lied again but Kari was confused. "It's um...study hall homework," and he left.
"Since when do they give homework out in study hall?" Kari asked herself.
Kari walked back to her room, 'I went too far and made him leave. He probably hates me now,' she thought to herself. She walked into her room to find Seth still there, she had kind of forgotten he was still here. Seth sat on her bed, trying too look innocent but he was the last person she wanted to see. Kari looked down at the desk to see TK's textbook still there. "Oh no, TK forgot his book!"
"Ahh, just forget about Takaishi. He's a no good little fag," said Seth.
"How can you say that!? He's the nicest person here at Odiaba! And frankly, I don't want to see your face right now, this is all your fault. So leave, get out!" Kari yelled as she pointed to the door. Seth was shocked at her outburst and got up from the bed, gave her a hateful stare and left. 'I'm so sorry TK' as she sat down on her bed and cried.
TK walked up the flights of stairs to his apartment. He opened the door to see his mom and Carlos sitting on the couch watching TV. 'Does he every go home?!' TK thought angrily to himself and he walked to his room and shut the door. He walked over to his bed and laid down on it. He let out a sigh as he thought about what just happened. From the corner of his eye he noticed the Nascar book laying on his desk. Slowly, TK got up from his bed and sat down at his desk and started to read the book. 'Hope's gonna be so impressed when she sees how much Nascar stuff I know... That is if she doesn't think I hate her!'
