14. Strawberry's Arrival
3RD PERSON POV
Rai awoke under a mass of white bed sheets. She groaned uncontrollably and pushed it away from her face. To replace the duvet, a mass of black hair dropped infront of her face. She rolled over onto her back and sighed.
The light from the window illuminated a strip of the room. She looked over to it as the sun rays grew to light the best part of the room. A sudden groan arose from the black mop of hair. L rolled over and clung onto Rai, curling up slightly and drifting back into deeper sleep. She smiled, comtempt and back to looking out of the window.
"Rai" he said, looking at her thoughtfully. She looked over at him and smiled.
"Good morning" she beamed, turning over to him and returning the loose embrace he had on her.
"Good morning" he smiled "Did you sleep well?". She nodded once adn grinned a little more. Her face fell as she traced the line of his lower eyelids.
"You're bags are fading" she whispered.
"And for that I blame you" he replied. She giggled into the blanket. A roar of footsteps ran past the room. Rai immediately sat up, spinning her head around.
"What, in the hell of it, was that?" she asked, slightly bewildered at the sudden jolt up her spine. L sat up and leaned a little to the left, trying to catch the yelps and screams of the younger children.
"I think" he replied " We have a new wammy". Rai perked up a little at this. She swung her legs round onto the floor and stood up. She grabbed the scruchie on the table and tied up her hair into a high ponytail.
"You're hair" L trailed off, intridged by the ponytail. Rai pulled a confused face.
"What about it?" she asked, grabbing onto the ponytail. She felt the curls crumbled as she squeezed the bottom of the ponytail.
"Oh. It finally went back to normal then" she thought to herself. He looked at her confused.
"Normal?" he asked. She sighed.
"Did I never tell you I'm mixed raced?" she asked. He eyes widened. She smiled and grabbed the T-shirt on the bedside table. She threw it over her head and shook her head.
"I thought so" she boasted, flicking her hair out of the neck of the T-shirt.
"Mixed Raced? A mix of what?" he asked. Her smile widened.
"Black Carribean and White British" she anwsered "I got my dad's pale skin, my mum's hair but I have a mix of both their eyes". She made a peace sign, her eye between her fingers and she blinked. The wateryness of her eyes made the dull blue flecks in her eyes shine and sparkle against the dark blacky brown. L smiled.
"That makes sense" he stated.
She walked over to the end of the bed and grabbed a pair of jeans, throwing them on. L stood up and walked over to her.
"I think you'll find they're mine" he pointed out, literally pointing at them. She shrugged, strolling over to the mirror and giving herself a one over at every angle.
"You have more" she argued, brushing off her T-shirt and checking her sleeves for stains. He snuck up behind her, hanging his hands on her hips.
"But I want these ones" he retorted, pulling at them at the belt loops. She gasped a little, pushing his hands down and clean off her. She turned and tilted him slightly, moving him about three of inches away.
"Dude, personal space" she joked, holding her hands up. He chuckled.
"Personal Space Invader" he stated, stepping extremely to her. She could feel how warm his breath was. She kissed his lips very softly. She stroked his cheek.
"Satisfied?" she asked. He breathed in, opened his mouth to speak. She cut in with a couple light slaps against the cheek.
"You better be" she answered for him, ducking out of personal space invasion and walking over towards the door.
"You're out of luck with these jeans. They're baggy, they're comfortable" she opened the door and hung on the door handle "And fit the hips just perfect". She smirked. He looked back at her and smirked back. She giggled and closed the door. Sighing quickly, she rushed down the hall and looked around for anyone. She swung herself around the top of the banister. Near was sitting at the top of the stairs, playing with some Lego blocks on the top step. She walked over to him and crounched down beside him.
"What you building, Near?" she asked, looking down at the base of what looked like the start of a tower.
"The Empire State Building" he stated, starting a layer of blue brick across the base. She smiled as she watched him.
"I've been to the Empire State Building" she beamed "It was a bit cold and a bit windy but it was amazing". He looked up at me with big, grey eyes.
"I wish I could go" he wished "that I could go to New York". He went back to stacking bricks.
"You'll go there some day. I promise you that" she promised, stroking his head. He smiled weakly, but it was gone in a heartbeat. Her mood inflated a little when she saw it.
"Now, where is everyone? I heard the rush past the room" she asked, dramatically swinging herself around, looking for someone. She heard Near giggle a little. She looked round to him and saw the smile on his face. She used this oppurtunity to get a laugh out of him.
"Oh! Am I funny to you?" she asked sarcastically, waving her hands around his face. He giggled again as her fingers brushed against his cheeks.
"Well, maybe I'll just be the . . TICKLE MONSTER!" she yelled playfully, grabbing him and tickling his sides. He giggled and grinned as she tickled him.
"They're . . on the . . porch" he answered in between breaths and giggles. She sat back and laughed on the out breath.
"Oh dear . . Thank You, Near" she smiled, picking him up and hugging him. He hugged back, the smile still hanging in there to stay.
"Having fun?" L said from behind them. Rai jumped and flicked around. L stood there, curious. She breathed in again.
"Yeah, we were just having a little bit of fun" she breathed, looking at Near "Weren't we, Little One?". He nodded excitedly. She giggled. Rai started walking down the stairs. L followed suit. Near started playing with Rai's hair, spinning it around his finger.
"That's going to be a habit" she stated, jumping off the bottom step and walking down the right corrider.
"What?" L asked. She pointed just behind her head.
"The hair thing" she explained "he's been doing it since I got here". He tilted his head, thoughtfully.
"What do you think is the reason?" he asked. Rai shrugged.
"Probably likes my hair" she anwsered bluntly. He shrugged in the same manner.
"Most probably" he replied.
Lily appear from the front door. She spotted L and Rai and beamed in their direction.
"L-y! Rai-Rai! Come on! Come on!" she yelped, skipping over to L and grabbing his hand, pulling him down the hall at a faster pace. Rai quickened with this pace and made it to the front door. All the children of the house were restlessly waiting outside on the porch. She stepped out onto the porch and took a seat on the bench. L sat beside her. Airi walked over and smiled.
"Hey Rai-Rai" she giggled. Rai waved at her.
"What's all the commotion?" she asked, playing with a piece of his hair, plaiting it and un-plaiting it and twisting and un-twisting.
"Apparently, we have a new girl" she stated "This place is getting more exciting every day". Rai smiled.
"Well, I guess that what happens when you get a run-away"
GIRL POV
We pulled up outside a large, grey-stone mansion, swarming with kids across its' porch and the grass. I groaned at the scene. I shouldn't have left Walthamstow.
"Is this it, Wams?" I asked. He looked over to me and nodded. I groaned again. I really shouldn't have left.
"I should have look at the description better. That's not 'a few' kids" I complained sarcastically. He smiled and chuckled.
"You'll fit perfectly, Ichigo, just perfect" he reassured. Why did I agree to this?
"That's what everyone says" I moaned quietly, leaning on my elbow. He patted me on the head and cut the engine. I should have just gone to see Amy. Her lot would have looked after me for a while.
"Your IQ and musical ability, not to mention your sarcasm. You'll fit perfectly. Especially after you meet some of the occupates" he comforted. I sighed defeatedly.
"Okay, I'll try" I gave in and smiled smugly. He chuckled again.
"Now, lets get your luggage and you can meet the Wammys" he instructed. I sighed again and climbed out of the car. The air outside was fresh and warm and the sun warmed my arms that were bare. I looked around at the scene. It was a beautiful day, but nothing was going to remove this rain cloud over my head. Wams called me over and I walked around to the boot. I swung my cello onto my back and my only suitcase into my hand and looked over at the house. They were 11 people, I'm guessing from their appearances between the ages of about 5 to 20. Actually, 20 pushing it. The oldest of them must have been 19. I walked up the drive and watched as a mob of younger kids came and welcomed me. I smiled and said my 'Hello's.
Everyone ran onto the porch as I walked up. I scanned every face. They were so different, but so alike.
"Hey, Ichigo" said a voice from her left. She looked down and shuffled her feet against the floor to cover her acknowledge.
"What, Zellogi?" she whispered, almost a non-existant sound. She looked up and watched him walk up to the fencing on the porch. He pointed at a older guy with black spiky hair. He brought him face closer to his.
"I think he looks like me" Zellogi joked "See the resemble?". She chuckled a little.
"Hey everyone, my name's Ichigo Kita, I'm 13, I'm from Walthamstow, East London and I guess I'm living with you lot from now on" I stated, simple and effective. An uproar of screaming high voices spread across the group with the youngers running down and asking me loads of questions at once. I laughed at this and looked up at the 6 people left. I made eye contact breifly with each of them. Until, I couldn't believe my eyes. Black and purple hair, Brown and blue eyes, about 5'3ft in height and a curious stare that would swallow you whole. Rosa?
What the hell?
Zellogi caught this thought and walked over to the edge of the crowding children.
"Well, this is going to be fun"
Me: Well, Ichigo and Zellogi . . .That's interesting . .
Rai: Course it is, you wrote it
Etsu: Suck-up
Rai: *Raises hitting spoon* Don't make me hit you!
Etsu: Don't have to :)
*CENSORED FIGHT SCENE*
Me: *Invites in Zellogi* Stop them fighting plz
Zello: Yeah, Whatever *pushes them away from each other by foreheads*
Me: Thank You for reading. I'm going to eat dinner and read some more and go to bed. Nitey Nite World.
