"I can't believe your dad is making me go to a school that's mascot is the same as one in a cheerleading movie." Kai said as flipped through his new school, Albert Einstein High School, student handbook, which was filled with the proper etiquette you should display while attending the Rockport private high school.
"You saw Bring It On?" Jessie asked, trying not to laugh.
"Yes." Kai said angrily as he rolled his eyes while Jessie started to laugh.
"You know, when I forced Jonny to watch it with me, the first words he said was, 'No one dies, not a guy movie.'" Jessie said as she flopped down on the opposite end of the couch that Kai was laying on. She was trying not to laugh at him, but was having a hard time. "So, why did you watch it? Some secrete obsession with being a cheerleader?
"No. The only reason I saw it was because for some reason, every girl in Hawaii was obsessed with that movie. There, are you happy now?"
Jessie just laughed harder. She then placed the back of her right hand on her forehead, with her index finger and pinkie sticking up. "Let's go Toro's!" she said and then clapped five times.
"Stop that." Kai said as he tried to grab her hand.
"Better get use to it, we take proud in being the Toro's!" She said as she started the cheer again, but before she could finish the chant, he grabbed her wrist and playfully hit her on the head with the student handbook. It was then that he noticed that Jonny was standing there, watching the whole ordeal.
"I can't believe you just admitted to seeing that movie." Jonny said, as he stifled his laughter.
"Hey, she just told me you saw it too."
"And all I remember was Kirsten Dunst, girls doing flips in short mini skirts, the perks to watching it without your girlfriend." Jonny said with his trademarked lopsided grin.
Jessie then noticed that her captor wasn't paying attention so she twisted her arm, and pushed him off the couch.
"Hey!" Kai said as he looked back up to her. He then looked over to Jonny, "Mind helping me?"
"No way! I'm leaving this one to you, buddy! Just remember, Dad prefers it when we horse around outside, not inside."
"Chicken." Kai said sarcastically.
"No, Mustangs. At my public high school, we're the Mustangs, not the chickens." Jonny said snickering as he walked out of the den, and into the hallway.
"Why that little..." Kai said, but was interrupted by the sound of Jessie's laughter. She then started her chant again, but was quickly silenced when he stood up and started pulling her off the couch. She then pushed him back down with her feet, climbed over the back of the couch and started running down the hallway, nearly knocking Jonny over. She then glanced back, making sure that Kai was still following her. This wasn't the first time she had ran through this hallway backwards, but most of the time it was with Jonny in close pursuit, not Kai. Then, making sure he was close enough to hear her without screaming, said: "I said, Brrr... it's cold in here, must be some Toro's in the atmosphere."
"You know, Bannon, that's pretty pathetic that you know all those cheers!" Kai said, as he passed Jonny, who was hugging the wall trying not to get killed.
"Don't you worry, you'll know them in no time too!" she said as she made a sharp turn into the main living room. The room, which was painted in a light ocean blue, was spacious, and had two couches, two recliners, a large coffee table, a TV and a huge bay window that overlooked the property and the ocean. The living room was also like a huge fork in the road, if you stood in the center of the room, you had the option of going left, which led outside to the patio, straight which went into the kitchen, or right, which was the main hallway of the compound. Jessie kept going straight from the hallway, dodging the couch, and made her way to the patio door. She then opened it and ran out, closing the door in hopes of slowing down her predator.
When Kai made it to the living room, he saw her run outside, he then made it to the door, and grab onto it before it closed and flung it opened. He followed her on the patio and down the three steps that led to the grassy area. He noticed that she was slowing down, but he wasn't sure whether she was getting tired, or wanting him to catch her. He then caught up to her, and tried to knock her down, only to follow her to the ground.
Jessie laughed. "You caught me Cheer Boy!"
"Hey!" He said, only this time he laughed.
"Don't worry about Albert Einstein High, you'll fit in, to an extent." She said giving him a playful punch. She then stood up, and reached her hand out to his, helping him stand up.
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing, nothing at all."
They then walked back to the main house. "You know, I've been wondering this since I got here. Why do you go a private high school and Jonny goes to a public high school?"
"Well..." She started, "I go to a private one because they don't look down upon you missing half the school year as much as the public schools do. Their philosophy is that it's your money. Since I spend a fourth of the school year with my mom, and I travel just about another fourth of the year, and they are willing to work with us on my assignments. Another reason is because they are willing to work with my private tutor I have when I'm with my mom on her archeology digs."
"I see. So what about Jonny? Why doesn't he go to a private school?"
"Well, as my dad says, the only reason is to separate us. When Jonny and I were younger, we were like twins, always together, and always causing trouble. The one year that I went to Rockport Middle School, Jonny and I caused more trouble than anyone else in the history of the 75 year old school." Jessie said with a grin. "Besides, Jonny only travels about a fourth of the year, and it helps that Dr. Quest is on the school board."
"Ah, the power of having connections. So that answers the question of why you go to a private school, and why Jonny goes to a public school, now why do I have to go to a private school?" Kai asked as he climbed the three stairs.
"To keep me company." Jessie said with a grin. "If your lucky, Dad might let you go to a public college, since Hadji's going to a private college."
"Hadji. I'm guessing he's the one last person I have yet to meet." Kai asked as he pulled himself onto the wooden banister of the deck.
"You'll love Hadji. Not only is he the Sultan of Bangalore, he's also a yogi."
"A yogi, as in hey BooBoo?" Kai asked as he did his best Yogi Bear impression.
"No, silly. As in, yoga."
"That's a relief. I wasn't sure if I could handle living with Yogi Bear."
Jessie laughed. "You know, you really should find a better place to stick you head then in the gutters." Jessie said giving him a playful punch on his left arm. She then took his hands and pulled him off the banister. "Come on, lets go back inside."
"So when do I get to meet this yogi?" Kai said, following her inside.
"He should be home sometime late tonight."
"Good. That gives me plenty of time to hide my picnic baskets."
