Chapter 2: Here's Nina!


Nina was too busy skipping down the hall to notice anything else. Her long black hair bouncing up and down with every step she took. She grew red in the face when she thought of all the times Hunter would tease her because of the way her hair and eyes were mismatched. Her eyes were like her father's and her hair was a mix between her mother's and her father's. Her hair was a deep black, but near her face there were two silver pieces that would always shine so bright in the sun. . .she hated that!


Instead of dwelling on her brothers rude comments, she decided to let her mind wonder somewhere else. Even though she probably shouldn't be thinking of things like this she found herself smiling to herself as she thought of him. . .


And then, . . .she ran into someone and with a loud thud she fell right on her ass. "Owiee! That hurt! Why don't you watch where you're going, you bast. . ."


"Now, now. . .what would father say if he heard those words coming out his little daughter's mouth?"


Nina looked up at her older brother and smiled, "Well I would imagine him saying, 'That's my girl', what do you think?"


She saw a smile appear on Davey's face and he held out a hand to help her up, which she took gladly. She didn't think she could get up on her own with a now, black and blue butt. "You know that really did hurt!"


His smile grew even wider, "I'm really sorry about that. . .but you know, you weren't really paying attention either. What were you thinking about? Well, whatever you were thinking about, it must have been quite special cause you looked like you were in pure bliss. . ."


Nina felt her face go red and she was sure he had noticed this because he continued talking. . .


"What were you thinking about, Nina? Your face is a nice red color. . .perhaps you were thinking about a certain guy?" Nina felt her face color even more but he continued with the interrogation. "It was about a boy, wasn't it?! Well, well, our Nina is growing up so fast on us! So, whose the guy. . ."


Davey was interrupted when a very annoyed Jade walked into the hallway, "What is going on here?!"


Davey was about to answer when he saw that Nina's face had gone an even deeper shade of red. He tried to hide the smile that was forming, but was sure that they could see the small grin anyways. "Well, I have to be going. . .but, if you really are that curious as to what was going on here, then why don't you ask Nina about it. I'm sure she's just full of information. . ." and he added under his breath so only she could hear, "and secrets. . ."


Nina gave Davey a death glare which only got worse when Jade replied, "And what secrets would that be, Nina? You know that we live in the Underground, where secrets do not remain that way for long. . ."


Nina heard Davey let out a little chuckle as he turned his back on the two pairs of eyes that were watching him retreat. "Well, I always like to make a fantastic entrance and not to mention, an amazing exit. See you kids later!" And with that, he turned a corner and was out of sight.


**********


Jade looked at Nina's angry face with immense curiosity. What had Davey said that made her so angry? She looked as if she was going to explode and throw a mad fit!


Jade heard her cough, which brought him back to reality. "If you're done staring at me, I would like to ask you a question."


He finally realized that ever since Davey had left, he had been staring at the young girl. He shook his head and tried to regain some of his composure. "I'm sorry, little one. I didn't mean to stare at you. Now, what is this question you wan to ask me?" Jade smiled as he saw her eyes shine when he called her by her old nickname. She has grown up so much, he had too but his looks hadn't changed as much as hers did. Granted, she still had the same mismatched eyes like her father and her hair was pretty much the same, but it was much longer now. She has grown up to be such a beauty. . .


"Well, I was wondering. . .would you play a game of Mai-Zing with me? I have grown so bored. . .and no one can play with me 'cause their all to busy! So, will you?"


Jade saw the hope in her eyes and he didn't want to bring her spirits down by rejecting the offer so he accepted. "I would be more then happy to play Mai-Zing with you," he held out his arm for her to take a hold of. "Well, shall we go and have some fun?"


He watched as the excited girl nodded her head and looped her arm in his, "I'm more than ready to have some fun! I was extremely bored!" Their eyes met and for once in Jade's life, he couldn't say anything.


**********


Nina felt the color rise in her face, once again. She was the first one to look away, though it had taken her a while to do so. "Thank you, Jade," she heard her voice say so softly that she wasn't sure he had heard.



Nina looked up to see Jade smile and she felt her heartbeat racing even faster then she ever thought possible. "What reason is there to thank me?"His voice as soft as Nina's had been when she had thanked him.


"For being you. . .," she didn't know why she said it, but she had and that conversation was now over. "Now, come on! Let's go play Mai-Zing!" and with that she was running as fast as she could. Until she realized that she didn't hear any footsteps behind her. . ., she turned around and looked at Jade with a look of confusion and frustration on her face. "Come on, Jade! Last one there is a rotten egg!"


This time when she had started running, she heard footsteps sounding on the hard floor. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that Jade was running after her and she also saw a smile on his face. This is gonna be more fun then the time I poured salt all over Hunters head! She laughed at the memory of him cursing while trying to get the white food particles out of his hair.

Oh yes, something inside told her that they were going to have a lot of fun today!
