Chapter 4
Understanding
Tip-tip…
"Kari…?"
Tip-tip…
"Kari, you awake?" T.K. softly knocked the hard wood door.
No respond came from behind the door, from the other side of the room. Only silence welcomed him and the silence clicking on the wall clocks. T.K. knocked again. The soft tips echoed through the apartment. Weeks had passed and fall classes were starting. The slow sun finally reached the morning day of the earth. The wind didn't move. Trees and papers on walls and windows did not move. The people of Japan removed their coats and allowed the warm sun. T.K. took himself from the door to the living room. He grabbed his backpack and retreated out the door to his classes.
"T.K."
The blonde turned from his car. Tai closed his car door and walked to the young blonde.
"Hey Tai. What's up?"
"Not much…where's Kari?"
"Still sleeping."
"Oh…where you heading to?" Tai asked, his hands in his pockets.
"To school. I got two classes in ten minutes."
"Don't make me stop you. I'll just go see how's Kari."
T.K. faked a smile, "All right…see ya."
Tai waved as the T.K. drove from the apartment complex parking lot and into the street. T.K. drove through the streets. He stopped for the stop lights and turned in the school parking lot. T.K. shut the car door and entered the school campus. Once there, T.K. stopped. He scanned around in confusion. He sighed as a sweatdrop appeared above his temple. He took out the school map and found his first class. Tucking the map quickly in his pocket, T.K walked to his class as if he knew where it was after all. Two girls passed by. They waved to T.K. He smiled and waved back before continuing his journey to his first class. He finally found the room and entered it. A few people were inside the classroom. Some looked at him and turned back to continue the chat with other strangers. T.K. took a seat near the door. He removed his bag and waited patiently for the class to start, but five minutes was left on the clock.
"Hey, T.K."
T.K. turned and found Davis at the door, "Hey, what are you doing here? You have this class too?"
"No, I'm the teacher…of course I have this class." He took a seat next to T.K.
"Well shit, you just caught me off guide."
Davis grinned, "Hey, you wanna get something to snack on?"
T.K. glanced at his watch, "Sure."
Davis smiled, "Great, I'm starving."
T.K. and Davis left their belongings on the table and retreated out the door. Davis grinned and waved as they passed a few girls. The girls giggled among themselves as they continued their walk. T.K. rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I never asked. How was the date with Kari? Was she really good?" Davis grinned.
T.K. sighed, "I rather not talk about it…"
Davis stepped in front of T.K., "Why not?"
The blonde moved passed him, "Got a yen?" T.K. asked as he checked his pockets for any money for the vending machine in front of them.
"What happened with you and Kari?"
"…We got into a fight."
"Hand combat?"
"Don't be stupid, Davis."
"So, why?"
"She kept talking about Bryan."
"So."
"So? It was annoying hearing Kari talk about Bryan." His tongue tasted bitter.
"And that got you mad? So, what's the big deal?" Davis shrugged his shoulders.
"All of this is my fault!"
"How?"
"She waited for me, Davis! She waited for me…for me to make the first move on our friendship. She wanted our friendship to be more, but I was too scared to say anything. If I did, I thought I was going to lose her and now it's too late…I did lose her."
"I know, she told me…"
"What?" His blue eyes locking to the other boy.
Davis sighed, "She told me how she felt about you. She asked me for advice. Can't you believe it? She asked the one boy who loved her more than life itself, but I knew her and me weren't meant to be…So, I let her go. To you…"
T.K. looked down to his purchased snickers.
Davis looked down, "Sorry…I guess both of us lost her."
T.K. smiled softly, "I guess so…and I guess I'm stupid too."
Davis sighed a deep breath, "Yeah, you are…"
~o~
"Kari?" Tai knocked the front door, but no answer came.
Tai tried the knob. It was locked. He thought something over than an idea popped into mind. He reached over the doorframe. He ran his hand over the entire frame. No key. He rubbed his chin, wondering where the key could be. He bit his lower lip. Looking around the door and walls, Tai couldn't find anywhere the key could be at. Tai shifted his foot, rubbing a welcome rag by the door. He sweatdropped as he bent down to the rag. Underneath it was the key. Tai pushed the key into the lock and opened the closed door.
"Kari? You here?"
Once more no respond came along. Tai walked to the kitchen, but no one was there. He walked down the hall. He opened T.K.'s room, in hope to see Kari. He closed the door and proceeded to Davis' room, really hoping not to see Kari in there. She wasn't. Sighing, Tai went to the restroom. Inside was quiet. Wondering if Kari left or something, Tai was beginning to get worried. He headed to her room. He knocked and entered. At that same time, Kari came into view, arranging her towel around her. She nearly screamed.
"TAI!"
"AHH, KARI!" He shut the door in haste before Kari threw a book to him.
Tai blushed as he breathed in. After breathing in, Tai started laughing.
"It's not funny, TAI!" Kari opened her door in her robes and smacked her brother over the head.
"It's not…" Tai tried to act serious.
"Then why are you still smirking?"
"Your birthmark." Tai started laughing again.
Kari turned red, "TAI, I'm going to kill you!"
Tai pinched her cheek, "Oh, but you look so cute."
"Shut up, Tai…" She snapped his hand away from her face.
"Please Kari, I changed your diapers…and let me tell you something…you did not smell like roses." Tai laughed.
A vein popped, "Tai!…"
"So, where's Bryan?" He looked around, changing the subject.
"He's at the store."
"I thought he was sick."
"He was. Now he's feeling better then ever…Hey, and don't change the subject! You ever heard of knocking and waiting for the person to respond?"
"No…" Tai smiled.
Kari threw hands in the air and stomped to her room. Tai laughed once more. When Kari was finished changing she joined Tai in the living room.
"Okay, fine…how about if I show you my birthmark?" He had his hands to him to get ready to show Kari.
"No! Don't show it to me! Show it to Sora for payback." Kari smiled, nailing Tai under her thumb.
Tai revealed a mischief smile, "She all ready did see it."
Kari had her jaw drop. The phone rang through out the apartment. Kari slowly took her steps to the phone.
"…Hello?"
"Kari? Hi, it's Sora. Is-"
"Did Tai show his birthmark to you?" Kari asked in haste.
"…wha?"
"Did Tai show you his birthmark?"
"No…"
Kari glared at Tai, who was whispering and looking away from her, all the while smiling. Kari thrust the phone to her brother.
"I'm late for class…" She retreated to her room and slammed the door.
~o~
Kari kicked Tai out of the apartment as he started laughing out of the blue, which really annoyed her. When Kari grabbed her purse, she looked outside the window, but Tai had all ready left. She grabbed the phone and called who was not busy. Kari called Joe for a ride, who gladly took her.
"Thanks for the ride, Joe." Kari opened the door.
"No problem, call again if you anything else." Joe smiled.
Kari waved after she shut the car door. She watched as the young adult waved back and drove from her sight. Smiling, Kari made her way to her class. The buildings were dark green with tan painted around the frame doors and windows. Kari turned a corner and found T.K. talking with two girls. The girls flirted and giggled. T.K. was smiling all the way which Kari found herself very upset over the little display. With a heavy stomp on the floor, Kari turned from the flirting blonde.
"Stupid boy…" Kari said as she passed some people, who looked at her strangely.
Kari entered her classroom. A few people were sitting around the room. Kari picked a spot and sat down. Why did she care if she saw T.K. with other girls? She shouldn't. She had the right to be angry with him. It was his fault he didn't do anything sooner with their friendship. Now Bryan was in her life. She was starting to like Bryan and he told her the same. Someone called her, but she ignored it. The situation with her, T.K., and Bryan was complicated. Right now, she was fearing she was going to lose T.K., but she didn't want to lose Bryan neither. Kari shook her head. T.K. had his chance, right? Now he's going on with his life.
"I guess, it's okay."
Then it was settled, Kari was going home to tell Bryan her feelings to him.
"Hey, Kari!"
'Now what?'
"Huh?" Kari glanced up.
Davis' grinning face was close to her face.
"Davis…what are you doing here? This your class too?"
Davis sweatdropped and his face turned blue, "Nobody wants me around."
Kari rose an eyebrow.
"Forget it…You wouldn't understand."
Kari sighed.
~o~
Bryan turned the key and opened the door. Closing the door, Bryan dropped the keys by the door and entered the kitchen. He placed the grocery bag on the counter when he saw a note on the refrigerator. He grabbed the note and read it. The note said that Kari, T.K., and Davis had classes today. It showed their schedule time of when they left and coming back. Kari wasn't coming until half an hour and T.K. and Davis weren't coming until an hour. Bryan threw the note away and placed all the purchased items into the cabinets or in the refrigerator. On the way to restroom, Bryan bumped into a launder basket.
He picked up and headed to the wash and dry room downstairs. He dropped some yen into the machine and took a scoop of soap and poured it into the machine how Kari and the others showed him to. Waiting for the soap to mix with the water, Bryan arranged and folded some clothes when he came into his clothes. The others forgot to wash it. Bryan shrugged and checked the pockets for anything before they go into the washer. He felt something. Puzzled, Bryan took out a wallet from his jeans. He opened it and found some pictures in them. The first picture showed of a young woman. Bryan flipped another picture and showed the same woman.
'You love me forever, right?'
Then an old couple was showed before him.
'We couldn't be more proud of you.'
The next picture showed two girls and a boy about the same age of Bryan. The boy had the girls in a headlock and the two girls made bunny ears for the boy and they were grinning for the camera.
'We'll headlock you for the taking the picture…'
Then last picture showed the same girl in the first picture with a boy. Bryan looked closer. The boy looked like…
"That's me…" Bryan whispered. In the picture he had the girl in his arms in baby style. They were smiling. They were happy together.
Bryan panicked and dropped the wallet. The washer changed and started it's washing without any clothes inside. He ignored it. He picked up the wallet and opened it once again. He flipped through the pictures and came into another picture. An ID card. It was himself. His same green eyes and the same blue hair. Bryan glanced at his real name…
Bryan ran upstairs to the apartment, completely ignoring the washer. He opened the door to the apartment and caught his breath. Thoughts suddenly came into his mind. Events were flashing before him. Names came into mind. Confused, Bryan tried to concentrate on what he was remembering. Without knowing it, Bryan went to the kitchen and grabbed a few stuff and started mixing and cooking. When Bryan took out the bread from the oven, he heard the door open. He peeked and found Kari by the door. Kari gasped when she saw a dinner prepared at the table. She dropped her handbag on the couch and walked to the table. Bryan came to the table with a hot plate with the bread. He placed the plate on the table and smiled to the surprised Kari.
"Bryan, what's going on here?" She whispered.
He smiled, "Dinner."
"I know, but who cooked it?"
"I did."
Kari stared at the boy across of her, "Wha?…"
"My real name's Sean Gess."
I know it's a bit rushed, but I was running out of ideas. And I know this chapter's shorter and again I was running out of ideas. Tell me how you think of this story. Is it going good? Bad?…Should I continue? Review please…thanks and have a great day.
