Hehehe... This story's getting more and more fun to write! And thanks for all the reviews!
You know, actually I'd started writing this for fun but then after all the feedbacks I got... Well... Can't let all readers down, can't I?
Please keep reading and reviewing!
From last time...
"Don't look back." Mariam hisses at me.
Being a stubborn one, I look back... Right into Kai, Mariah, Michael, Bryan and other girl from Gredevel High's sneering faces right back at me...
Chapter 9
"Kai..."
"Come here, let's go" Mariam grabs my arm.
"Hey! What's going on? Mariam let me go! Kai, had fun last night? You look darker!"
Silence... This is weird... Usually the birdie should be teasing me already... But he's sticking right next to Mariam... And the others walk up stairs calmly; ignoring me altogether in the progress.
"Kai, what's wrong?" Bloody hell! Why isn't he talking to me!
Miguel trots inside in a quick stride. His pale eyes look at me quizzically. "Hey, I heard your voice to the whole way down there... Something happened, Cerberus?" he asks.
"Leave me alone, bitch..." Kai mutters quietly, but every one of us hears what he says.
Mariah smirks at me in triumph. "Hey, bitch, you didn't know what happen? I heard you are smart, but seems like you aren't. Why the hell would you wanna follow someone who hates you so much? Can't you see I'm with him now? You make me sick, bitch!"
Ha, like I'm scared of you... NOT.
Is it just me or it's getting cooler in here? I think it's getting cooler... Which means... Bloody hell!
Pale grey eyes flash dangerously as he hears the forbidden words from Mariah's mouth supporting Kai's words from before. I turn around; trying to grab his shirt but fail miserably...
Miguel backhands Mariah and sends Kai flying back into the chairs with his famous back kick. "Do NOT ever say that to her, you junks. You are NOT good enough to say that!" He snarls furiously. And I'm reminded of gargoyle in those bed-time stories...
Miguel didn't get the nickname Gargoyle for nothing, you know? Oh God, I better find a way to stop him... NOW!
"So what if I don't care?" Kai spits.
God... How stupid can someone be!
"I will kill you." The sandy-hair lad stalks towards the bluenette like tiger after its prey... "You would be begging me to spare you after I'm done..."
"Ooh... I'm scared..." This guy's definitely stupid... No one, even Johnny, provokes him on purpose when he's angry...
"Gargoyle!" I grab his wrist. Those pale gray orbs turn to look at me coolly... "Please, stop it. I don't want this. I really don't... Do it for me... Please, Miguel..." I mutter the last part out.
"Che, I'll wait outside, then." He pulls his hand away from me and strides outside.
The others have left, leaving me with Michael and Mariah in the room... Michael then carefully says to Mariam. "Mariam... You know what they're like..." Apparently he's trying to calm her down...
"Ha! What's wrong with Kai? What, so Sariel's the wrong one now?"
"You know what he's like... Hey, you all right?" the birdie turns to me.
"I'm fine... Is he really angry?" I rub the bridge of my nose.
"You've gotta understand... He's been... preparing so many things for you that day..."
"I know... I know... It's my fault."
"You are not! Kai's the pathetic one! You didn't know, he's so drunk that he's glued to that freakin' bitch Mariah!" Mariam screams.
"Mariam... Calm down..." I sink into the nearest chair.
"You've been planning to go to the airport to see a friend who you haven't met for three freakin' years! You're so NOT wrong! Kol didn't mean it! Forget him, just forget him! I'll introduce you to someone a billion times better than him!"
"Mariam... It's okay; it's really my fault this time..."
"What! Sariel McGregor! That's not what I'm expecting from you!"
After that... Someone approaches us...
"Kol!"
"Do I have to say who that is? He's a punk, no, actually he's Ozuma... Mariam is gaping, same as the birdie.
"That's... Ozuma..." Mariam speaks up in a squeak, then she runs up to Ozuma and they dance around each other in joy.
"Oh my God, Ozuma! Long time no see!"
"Mariam, yeah? Man, you look much better!"
About a minute ago she's acting like she wanna kill Kai Hiwatari... But now... Look at her...
"Hey, Mariam, who the hell is this weirdo?"
Oh, yeah... the birdie is still here.
"My friend, he's from America!"
"Really? Mariam, I'm going in, all right?"
Mariam doesn't even acknowledge the birdie... She's too busy fussing around with Ozuma.
"Mariam, I'm going."
"Ozuma, you look like that guy in the rock band!"
...Mariam... He doesn't look a rocker, he's like a punk.
Michael's face looks a bit cold when he glances at us, then he walks inside. Mariam doesn't even notice that her boyfriend's angry...
Why is everything bloody complicated for me!
"Let's got in, Ozuma! You've been at America for so long, let's see whether you can beat me in a game or not!"
"Mariam, you gotta be crazy to go in there"
"We don't need to give a fuck about that rat-ass Kai."
"Kai, who's that?" Ozuma asks.
"Nobody, let's go Ozuma, Kol! They've got a lot of good games here!"
"But Michael is angry with you."
"Who cares?"
"Hey!"
"Let's go!"
Oh my God... Sariel McGregor... What else are you going to face today?
Inside the game center...
Luckily Kai and his gang are currently occupying the karaoke sector of the game center. The birdie which is currently playing games with his friends looks up when we enter. He ignores the games and goes to join Kai and his gang.
"Riam, Michael's really pissed off."
"No worry, I'll buy him chocolate later and he'll be fine again. Hey, Ozuma, are you good at singing?"
"Ask Kol."
"Kol, is he any good?"
"If you have an album with him you'd both be famous." I deadpan.
Fortunately we use the karaoke room which is far away from where those Gredevel High is. After listening to Ozuma and Mariam sing, I want nothing more than to be able to disappear from the spot.
"I'm going to play games." I walk out.
I want to be as far away from Kai as possible therefore I pick the vampire-zombies shooting game... What should I do? I may try apologizing again... But he looks like he's going on well with Mariah and I'm the third hand... I feel like I started to like him... I like him... And I just know that I do like him!
"You die!"
Ozuma... I'm going to kill you.
"Hey, I wanna play too!"
"No, get out."
"Let's play, let's play!"
"Then put your coins in!"
We are busy shooting and Mariam is still occupying the karaoke room...
"Yes! Level 6!"
"Hey, Kol..."
"What?"
"Is the guy called Kai Hiwatari your boyfriend?"
"..." I stare blankly at the screen. "Yes."
"Got it."
"Thanks." I smile a little.
"Don't try to pretend... Do you think you can fool me by that?"
"What are you talking about?"
Ozuma grips my shoulder lightly. "I known you better than you think, okay?"
"You're different, leopard."
"You too, Cerberus."
Kai appears behind us with Mariah the bitch...
"Wow, she's hot." Ozuma looks at Mariah, and then reverts back to the screen.
"Get out." Kai says with cold and unemotional voice.
"What are you talking about?"
"I said get out."
"Why?"
"Because I wanna play with her."
You never change; acting like demanding brat. Then what I fear happen...
"What are you talking about, punk?"
Great... There it goes... Miguel and Ozuma are cousins so go figure...
"I'm Kai Hiwatari. Move out, I'm not going to repeat that."
"Kai Hiwatari... Kol... Is it him?"
"..."
Silence...
"I dumped her."
I feel like crying as soon as those words come out of his mouth.
"He's right, we broke up. C'mon, Ozuma..." Ozuma lungs at Kai... "Leopard!"
This is so troublesome!
"Leopard, stop it! Hey, Kai Hiwatari! You dumped me and you're happy, right? Then you should be happy now! Stop acting like a goddamn brat! It's finished! It's over! We don't have to fight! Let's go, leopard. I'm getting a migraine here... Shut up and just... let's go..." I tell them after I manage to pull them apart.
It could be because of the glistening tears in my eyes because Ozuma grunts but says nothing. I walk off without looking back. We get Mariam from the karaoke room and walk out of the game center.
"What happened? Why are you crying? Ozuma, what happened to Kol?"
"..."
"Let's go outside." I lead them out.
"It's because of that bastard, right! He made you cry, didn't he?"
"Hey, Sariel McGregor." A voice called me from behind.
"I'd give you a chance to give me a reason if you wanna talk to me."
Kai Hiwatari... You're the world's biggest jerk, do you know that? You're a bloody idiot... You're playing me for a fool, huh?
"Kai Hiwatari... I'm tired of doing exactly everything you want me to do. I don't like doing what you wanted me to do, and everything you did is just irritating. You act like a spoiled brat, you know that, right? You are a spoiled brat and I pity you. Now I'm just going to say... Good bye."
Even though my words sound cold, I know that it's going to hurt me in the end. But I can't take it back.
I run... I run home and up to my room. I shut the door, jump onto the bed and just cry myself to sleep.
-TBC-
Mwahahahaha... Another chapter done! This is getting a tad... sad... I know... But it'd be better in a while!
Here's the teaser!
"Forget him, Kol, you've got to forget him." Mariam tells me in almost an order.
"I don't want to hear that."
"No, listen to me. He was drunk, and he went outside with Mariah. When Michael and I went out to look for them, we found them at a bench. And Mariah is putting her shirt back on..."
"Stop it!" I howl in agony... God, I don't wanna hear anymore... I sob against Miguel's shirt.
"Listen to me! And Kai didn't have his shirt on, either!"
...Tada! Done, done, done!
