Back to school
Chapter 4
By Autumn Garnet
Wow, look at all the reviews!! Look at 'em!!
YAY!!! Marshmallows for EVERYONE!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai was in total shock. What the hell...? He looked at Otaku, who was still in his arms. "O-Otaku?"
Okita opened the door and leaned on the banister to see what was going on. "OTAKU!!" Immediately she ran down the stairs in aid of her sister.
Mariah stood very still. What, Two Otaku's? What's Otaku doing in Kai's arms? Cute though... But what is Otaku doing running down the stairs? "Um, Ray? What's going on?"
Ray shook his head. "I'm just as confused as you are..."
Okita practically jumped the last four steps and rushed up to Otaku.
"Okita! What's going on?" Tyson asked hurriedly
"No time for that! Somebody call the hospital!!" Okita's voice was shrill and panicky.
Kai, who still had Otaku in his arms, was just as confused as everybody else was. [Not that he'd admit it!!]
Otaku groaned slightly then her eyes shot open. What...? She felt someone holding her, immediately she pulled back and got into a fighting position. "Who are- !" Otaku stopped short as she felt herself sway slightly. Shaking her head she stood firmly on the ground, still looking ready to fight. When she finally realized where she was she relaxed and breathed in deeply. Finally remembering what had happened she blushed a deep shade of red. "I am sooo sorry!! I'll go now!" She ran up the stairs, tripping over several, closed the door quickly, but quietly.
Everybody stayed silent, all confused.
Ray was the one to break the silence. "Uh, could someone explain to me...?"
"Okay, this girl is Otaku's twin and her name is Okita. Kai said something and Okita got upset. Otaku made things better then came back to tell us. Only she tripped and smashed into Kai and then they had this whole blushy scene [how KAWAII!!!] then Otaku fainted onto Kai, then Kai looked like he was hugging her. Then you came in!" Tyson said quickly
"What? Kai? Blushing?!" Ray laughed at the thought.
Okita looked at Mariah. "Hey, can someone introduce me with the girl?"
Mariah smiled. "I'm Mariah. I didn't know that Otaku had a sister!"
Okita looked suspiciously at Mariah then shrugged and gave off a huge grin. "Well, I'm Okita!! I REALLY like how you accessorised your uniform!! Small little tigers on the arm of your top and the pens make ya look SMART!!"
Mariah gave off a bigger smile. "Well, I LOVE that top your wearing!! You have to tell me where you got it!"
The guys looked totally confused on the girls' conversation.
"Really? Thanks!! I can't stand my uniform so I gotta change when I get home! But you manage to look good in that uniform!"
"Wow, Thanks!!!"
The guys' sweatdropped as the conversation slowly went from make up to hair straighteners.
Kai was looking at the ground, his heart racing. What was that?! God, what's wrong with me?! Why am I acting so... I don't even now how I'm acting!! This is isn't... No, can't be... But what if... Kai gulped. Okay, calm down... Think of Otaku see how I react... An image of Otaku popped into his head and his heart raced fast and soon found himself blushing again. Oh god, I think I am... What do I do? I've never felt like this, how the heck am I suppose to know what I'm doing?! Dammit, I need advise... He looked around at his friends who were in an uncontrollable laughing fit. But who do I ask? Look at them... How can I ask them? They'll be too busy laughing at me!! I need to think, I need something where I can put my thoughts... That way I'll just have to write them down, so I can figure it out on my own! Of course!! I'll write I journal!! Happy with his success, he smiled.
Tyson, who was laughing himself to the floor, saw the smile on Kai's face. "Hey! Kai's smiling again!!!" [*sob* How come no one gets excited when I smile? Aren't I special enough?! *sob*]
"What? No way!!"
Kai stopped smiling. "Whatever, I'm outta here..." With that he made his way to the door, when Otaku showed up at the top of the staircase, again.
Otaku stumbled her way down the stairs, and then smiled apologetically at everyone. "Please excuse me, I'm just going for a walk. Just ignore me, please..."
Kai, who was already at the door, just stood there watching the girl walk clumsily walk out the door. Why does she want to go for a walk now?
Otaku held the door open for Kai. "I'm sorry, where are my manners?"
Kai shrugged but inside he was jumping for joy at the sight of her.
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai walked around for awhile, looking for a good place to buy his journal. Where do you get a journal anyway?
As if on cue, Otaku appeared from a nearby store, a dark green book under her arm. She didn't seem to see Kai, partly because she was looking on the ground. If Kai hadn't moved to aside, she would've probably crashed into him.
Curious, Kai went into the shop that Otaku was in previously. His jaw dropped at what he saw. [Ooooh, I know what it is!!!] Journal's in every colour, in every shape, in every type was there. Kai couldn't believe his luck. I never knew that there would be a store that just sold journals! Kai almost smiled at the thought but decided not to, he had a feeling a person would laugh and get excited at his smile. Kai looked at the journals, ignoring the ones that were pink and fluffy.
"Excuse me young man, would you like help with picking a journal?" A kind middle aged woman asked softly.
"Yeah, direct me in a direction where I can get away from these fluffy, pink, childish journals." Kai said, in his monotone.
"Um, okay... What type of journal would you like?" The woman ruled out the coldness of his voice and smiled.
"Well..." Kai stood still for a moment. That's right bone-head!! What type of journal do you want?
The woman could see that her customer didn't exactly know what he wanted. So she asked him a simple question. "What is your name?"
Kai was tempted to say, 'What's it to you?' but decided not to. " Kai Hiwatari." [Tell me if I spelt the surname right!]
The woman nodded. "Please hold on a second." The woman disappeared into another room but came back in a short few minutes. In her hand she had a blue-grey velvet journal. In bright gold letters, his name was clearly emblazoned in a neat cursive manner. "How is this?"
Kai took the journal from her hand quietly and looked through the pages quickly. "Yeah, this is good."
The lady clapped her hands together happily. "Lots of children your age seem to like these journals. Why, I just sold a journal to a girl of your age before... What was her na - Oh yes, Otaku Rui. Seemed like a lovely girl, kept on apologizing when she crashed into the shelves..."
Kai froze at her name. She was the whole reason that he got the journal... Wonder what she wanted with a journal though... "Uh right, anyway, how much?"
The lady snapped out of babbling, about how Otaku almost made a shelf fall on her and smiled again. "Well, that'll be $7.50 please."
Kai fished the money out of his wallet and handed her the amount quickly, then ran out the store.
"Thank you for shopping here!! Come again soon!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai took the key out from his blazer and opened the door to the apartment. Holding the journal casually he walked into his room and whipped a pen out of his bag. Kai held the pen half an inch away from the paper, ready to write, but something came into his mind. What do you write in a journal, anyway? He tapped his pen against the journal, trying to think of something to write. Well, how about I start with myself...
Okay, this is the first time I've ever had a journal, so I've got no clue of how to write in it. I only got you because I met this girl called Otaku Rui and I wanted to write about how I feel towards her, and sum up a conclusion of why I feel like this towards her.
Kai smirked at his first few sentences of his journal, then continued to write.
Anyway, my name is Kai Hiwatari and today was my first day of school. You know what? School is sooo weird! Frankly, I can't wait for this year to be over so I can go back to beyblading. Beyblading is probably the closest thing to a hobby of mine, so please don't ask about my hobbies. Okay now how I feel about Otaku...
Kai turned red again but kept on writing, despite the fact that his face was beet red.
Otaku Rui makes me feel something that I've never felt before. I went through all these ideas and they all kept on leading to this one resort, which I do not want to write down or even say out loud.
Kai heard a car pull up, so he looked out his window. Seeing the gleaming black limo at the front of the driveway he was ready to hide the journal but felt he couldn't leave his first entry like that.
Have to cut this short, I'll write later.
Kai
Kai looked around his room for a place to hide his journal. Hearing the door open he shoved the journal in his bag, then threw the bag into an unsuspecting corner. [how come corners are not suspected? That's where I roast my marshmallows! *sob* Don't you people think I'm good enough?!*]
Walking down the hall, he saw the whole Bladebreaker team, with Mariah, Okita and Otaku. Kai couldn't help but notice the dark green velvet journal, jutting out slightly of Otaku's bag. In her hands was a violin case that looked strangely familiar.
Otaku approached Kai slowly and held the case up. "Um, you left this at the manor... A-and you forgot this..." She handed him a piece of paper. "Er, I didn't mean to read it but it's your schedule for your violin lessons..."
Okita nudged Otaku's shoulder, a grin on her face. "Don't you mean, 'OUR' lessons?"
Otaku went several shades of red, until her face stayed on the brightest red possible. "Uh, well, er..."
Mariah giggled but then remembered that she had lessons with Ray, making her turn away to blush.
Tyson gave a light punch to Kai and snickered. "That's right, dude! No solitary violin lessons for you!"
Kai glared at Tyson and was ready to snap a comment back, but he noticed Otaku swaying slightly.
Otaku grabbed the kitchen counter for support and sighed.
Okita saw Otaku's sudden grab for the kitchen counter. "Hey, Otaku? What's with grabbing the counter? Hungry?"
"Huh? Oh no, I was just, er... Um, seeing what type of marble this is... It reminds me of the counter we have, don't you think?"
Okita raised an eyebrow. "What're you on about? Our counter is white and the texture is, like, totally different!"
"Um..." Otaku adjusted her glasses slightly. "Oh, right... My glasses must've not been on properly..."
Okita shrugged. "Okay, anyhow, where do you guys want to start?"
"Start?" Kai asked, not getting a thing.
"Apparently, your school is horrible, and I very much doubt that you'll even learn anything. So if you want the points added to your score in the world tournament, we, as in Otaku, Mariah, Me and my Gang, are gonna have to teach you!"
Kai understood but. "Gang?"
Okita nodded. "Yup! Friends of mine! Oh yeah, they're waiting at the front door right now!"
Mariah opened the door revealing two girls. One had chestnut brown hair, with glasses perched on top of her head. She had bright blue eyes and a big smile on her face. The other had blond hair with dark red eyes, along with a small smile and a laptop under her arm.
The girl with chestnut hair jumped forward and shook Kai's hand furiously. "Hi! I'm Kitsune Otome!! But everybody calls me Kit!"
The blond took a step forward and gave off a mysterious smile. "Hi, my name is Maccafushigi Oyaji." She then gave an enormous smile, all mystery lost. "But call me Macca!"
Kai would've groaned if it weren't for the, 'I'm too good for you' personality but just looking at Otaku, he was fighting a war by forcing his face to stay normal, not red. "Who agreed to this?"
"We did!" Everyone called out, except Otaku.
Max gave a friendly punch to Kai's shoulder. "Come on, Kai! You ready to learn!?"
Kai rolled his eyes back. "Do I have a choice...?"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, now each of us, girls, are going to help you study!" Okita gave off a mischievous smile. "And since it was MY idea, I'm gonna tell ya who you're studying with!"
Kai froze. Somebody kill me...
"Okay, I'm gonna go with Tyson! Kit can go with... Hm... Oh, I know, Max!!"
Max blushed slightly when Kit made her way to sit next to him. Wow...
"Mariah, you are sooo going with Ray!! It's like majorly sweet seeing ya two together!!"
Ray gulped when Mariah sat next to him, but she was looking the other way. Huh? I'll ask her what's wrong when Okita finishes talking...
"Ooooh, Macca, go sit next to Kenny! Aw, how sweet, shorties together!"
Kenny flushed slightly at the blond Macca. Maybe we can share data or something... [Data? DATA?! KENNY!!! You DON'T share data with a girl when you like her!!!! *sigh* Oh well...]
"And of course!! Kai and Otaku will go naturally together!"
Otaku smiled nervously at Kai.
Kai gulped. Oh god...
~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Okita," Tyson began, "Er, why d'you wanna be paired up with me for?"
Okita made a hurt face. "What? Don't you want to be with me?"
"No! It's not that! I was just wondering-"
Okita put a finger up to her lips, to silence him. "You're cute when you care..."
Tyson was turning red. "Uh, thanks... Well, um..."
Okita smiled. "Okay, now where do you want to start? Algebra, Trigonometric equations, vectors, whatever, you name it!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Kit put a stack of books on Max's table. "Hey Max, nice to meet you! Okay, Kit's the name so say it when you need help!"
Max nodded, rather speechless. Finally able to sting a sentence together, he smiled. "Nice to meet you too, er, so..."
Kit opened the first page of one of the books. "How about we start with the basics? Once you know them, the rest is pretty easy!"
"Okay!"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, Mariah? Are you okay?" Ray's face was full of concern.
Mariah waited 5 seconds for her face to cool down, then turned around to face Ray. "I'm fine."
"Oh, okay, that's good..."
"Are you?"
"Huh? Of course I am, why?"
Mariah giggled. " 'Coz your face is sooo red!"
"What? It is?!"
"Yup!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Macca opened up her laptop. "Okay, now let's start with calculus, then slowly head into equations that have computers in them, kay?"
Kenny opened his laptop. "Okay..."
"Now, to answer a question like this..."
Kenny looked at her computer screen nodding. I don't get it...
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was prepared at any costs to smash his head against the wall. I haven't even figured out WHY I like her!! But NO, I still must be with her in EVERYTHING!
Otaku began to pull the books from her bag slowly. "U-um, I'm sure you're good at all your subjects so, uh, where do you think that you need to improve?" Immediately Otaku slapped her forehead. "I'm sorry! That came out wrong! Er, what I meant to say was, what do you want to study first so you can improve. Erm, I meant improve more! Wait, I mean-"
Kai raised a hand to keep her quiet. "I'm not offended."
Otaku sighed in relief. "Thank god that you're kind..."
Me? Kind? Oh god, she thinks I'm, as in Kai Hiwatari, KIND?!?! "Whatever." KIND?
Otaku flipped through her books quickly, so quick that she got a paper cut sliced through the palm of her hand. Wincing slightly, she continued to flip through the pages quickly. Finally, she stopped at something called Matrices. "Okay, I'm sure you know all about the matrices. You know, the rectangular pattern of elements, that tend to be numbers, arranged in rows and columns, so I won't bore you with my explanations. I'll let you work at your own pace, if you need any help at all, but I'm sure you won't, just ask me."
Kai stared at the equations, totally confused. This isn't 14 year old work, its 18 year old work!!! I really don't want to answer all these questions... Kai flipped through the page to see how long exercise A was. 4 WHOLE pages of THIS?!?! Okay, how about... I... Oh jeez, how do I get out of this? Finally, an idea flew into his head. "Are you okay? I mean, with your cut and everything?"
Otaku was slightly shocked. "Um, yeah, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern though."
"Er, come on, we'll go find something so it won't get infected." Otaku still had a surprised look on her face so that made the both of them. Do I REALLY know what I'm saying?
Otaku stood up quickly, so quickly that she fell back with her chair. Otaku rubbed her head and rolled off her chair. "I'm okay!" Otaku cried out to everyone who was looking. [Which was, er, everyone!] Stepping over the chair she walked over to the doorway. "I'm sorry. Er, I don't know where your first-aid kit is... Could someone...?"
Kai walked silently up to her. "This way."
Otaku gave a small smile. "Thankyou!" Turning around she crashed into the door. "Oh, oops! Forgot to open the door!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
~*~*~*~*~*
How is she and Okita related? Okita is graceful, straight forward, not shy... Tyson glanced at those bright blue eyes of hers and blushed lightly. And with one look at her, I turn into mush...
"What's the matter?" Okita caught Tyson's eye. "Something wrong?"
"Uh, well, er..."
"Are you in stutter mode or something? Just tell me!"
"Uh, well..." Tyson looked at his work. "Er, I'm not sure I got this sum right."
"Oh, well let's see then!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai pulled out the antiseptic bottle and dabbed some of it on a piece of cotton.
Otaku blushed slightly. "Um, it's alright, I can do it myself although, thank you for you kindness."
There she goes again! Me kind? Come on! Kai handed it to her, but then stopped half way when he saw blood seeping through her blazer.
Otaku stared at Kai's face, confused. "Are you, um, okay?"
Kai nodded. "I am, you aren't."
"Wha-"
"You're bleeding." Kai lifted up her arm gently. "See?"
Otaku turned VERY red at the gesture. "Um... It's okay, doesn't hurt too much." She pulled her arm away from him. "I'll clean it up and you can go back to work. Sorry for taking up your time."
Kai shook his head. No WAY I'm going back to that math thing! "Look, I'll help you." He rolled up her blazer sleeve and saw how serious the wound was. However above the wound there was a white scar. Finally realizing what he was doing he turned red. WHAT AM I DOING?!?! I haven't figured out why I feel like this and why I'm helping her!!! Therefore, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!?!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autumn Garnet: Ooooh, will Kai figure out what his doing? Tune in for the next thrilling chapter of Back to school!
Kai: Hey!! I ALWAYS know what I'm doing! I know everything!
Autumn Garnet: Yeah, sure! Well, what am I thinking right now?
Kai: [arms crossed with a smirk] Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: [pout] Shucks, right, yet again! Okay, well, what am I thinking now?
Kai: Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Am I THAT predictable?
Kai: Yes.
Autumn Garnet: *sob* Okay, I'll just go make sure. Ray? What am I thinking about right now?
Ray: Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: *sniff* No fair! Cheer me up with your reviews! Please? Maybe I'll become unpredictable again!
Kai: You mean for the first time...
Autumn Garnet: Hey! Don't be mean!!!
Wow, look at all the reviews!! Look at 'em!!
YAY!!! Marshmallows for EVERYONE!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai was in total shock. What the hell...? He looked at Otaku, who was still in his arms. "O-Otaku?"
Okita opened the door and leaned on the banister to see what was going on. "OTAKU!!" Immediately she ran down the stairs in aid of her sister.
Mariah stood very still. What, Two Otaku's? What's Otaku doing in Kai's arms? Cute though... But what is Otaku doing running down the stairs? "Um, Ray? What's going on?"
Ray shook his head. "I'm just as confused as you are..."

Okita nodded. "Yup! Friends of mine! Oh yeah, they're waiting at the front door right now!"
Mariah opened the door revealing two girls. One had chestnut brown hair, with glasses perched on top of her head. She had bright blue eyes and a big smile on her face. The other had blond hair with dark red eyes, along with a small smile and a laptop under her arm.
The girl with chestnut hair jumped forward and shook Kai's hand furiously. "Hi! I'm Kitsune Otome!! But everybody calls me Kit!"
The blond took a step forward and gave off a mysterious smile. "Hi, my name is Maccafushigi Oyaji." She then gave an enormous smile, all mystery lost. "But call me Macca!"
Kai would've groaned if it weren't for the, 'I'm too good for you' personality but just looking at Otaku, he was fighting a war by forcing his face to stay normal, not red. "Who agreed to this?"
"We did!" Everyone called out, except Otaku.
Max gave a friendly punch to Kai's shoulder. "Come on, Kai! You ready to learn!?"
Kai rolled his eyes back. "Do I have a choice...?"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, now each of us, girls, are going to help you study!" Okita gave off a mischievous smile. "And since it was MY idea, I'm gonna tell ya who you're studying with!"
Kai froze. Somebody kill me...
"Okay, I'm gonna go with Tyson! Kit can go with... Hm... Oh, I know, Max!!"
Max blushed slightly when Kit made her way to sit next to him. Wow...
"Mariah, you are sooo going with Ray!! It's like majorly sweet seeing ya two together!!"
Ray gulped when Mariah sat next to him, but she was looking the other way. Huh? I'll ask her what's wrong when Okita finishes talking...
"Ooooh, Macca, go sit next to Kenny! Aw, how sweet, shorties together!"
Kenny flushed slightly at the blond Macca. Maybe we can share data or something... [Data? DATA?! KENNY!!! You DON'T share data with a girl when you like her!!!! *sigh* Oh well...]
"And of course!! Kai and Otaku will go naturally together!"
Otaku smiled nervously at Kai.
Kai gulped. Oh god...
~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Okita," Tyson began, "Er, why d'you wanna be paired up with me for?"
Okita made a hurt face. "What? Don't you want to be with me?"
"No! It's not that! I was just wondering-"
Okita put a finger up to her lips, to silence him. "You're cute when you care..."
Tyson was turning red. "Uh, thanks... Well, um..."
Okita smiled. "Okay, now where do you want to start? Algebra, Trigonometric equations, vectors, whatever, you name it!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Kit put a stack of books on Max's table. "Hey Max, nice to meet you! Okay, Kit's the name so say it when you need help!"
Max nodded, rather speechless. Finally able to sting a sentence together, he smiled. "Nice to meet you too, er, so..."
Kit opened the first page of one of the books. "How about we start with the basics? Once you know them, the rest is pretty easy!"
"Okay!"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey, Mariah? Are you okay?" Ray's face was full of concern.
Mariah waited 5 seconds for her face to cool down, then turned around to face Ray. "I'm fine."
"Oh, okay, that's good..."
"Are you?"
"Huh? Of course I am, why?"
Mariah giggled. " 'Coz your face is sooo red!"
"What? It is?!"
"Yup!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Macca opened up her laptop. "Okay, now let's start with calculus, then slowly head into equations that have computers in them, kay?"
Kenny opened his laptop. "Okay..."
"Now, to answer a question like this..."
Kenny looked at her computer screen nodding. I don't get it...
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai was prepared at any costs to smash his head against the wall. I haven't even figured out WHY I like her!! But NO, I still must be with her in EVERYTHING!
Otaku began to pull the books from her bag slowly. "U-um, I'm sure you're good at all your subjects so, uh, where do you think that you need to improve?" Immediately Otaku slapped her forehead. "I'm sorry! That came out wrong! Er, what I meant to say was, what do you want to study first so you can improve. Erm, I meant improve more! Wait, I mean-"
Kai raised a hand to keep her quiet. "I'm not offended."
Otaku sighed in relief. "Thank god that you're kind..."
Me? Kind? Oh god, she thinks I'm, as in Kai Hiwatari, KIND?!?! "Whatever." KIND?
Otaku flipped through her books quickly, so quick that she got a paper cut sliced through the palm of her hand. Wincing slightly, she continued to flip through the pages quickly. Finally, she stopped at something called Matrices. "Okay, I'm sure you know all about the matrices. You know, the rectangular pattern of elements, that tend to be numbers, arranged in rows and columns, so I won't bore you with my explanations. I'll let you work at your own pace, if you need any help at all, but I'm sure you won't, just ask me."
Kai stared at the equations, totally confused. This isn't 14 year old work, its 18 year old work!!! I really don't want to answer all these questions... Kai flipped through the page to see how long exercise A was. 4 WHOLE pages of THIS?!?! Okay, how about... I... Oh jeez, how do I get out of this? Finally, an idea flew into his head. "Are you okay? I mean, with your cut and everything?"
Otaku was slightly shocked. "Um, yeah, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern though."
"Er, come on, we'll go find something so it won't get infected." Otaku still had a surprised look on her face so that made the both of them. Do I REALLY know what I'm saying?
Otaku stood up quickly, so quickly that she fell back with her chair. Otaku rubbed her head and rolled off her chair. "I'm okay!" Otaku cried out to everyone who was looking. [Which was, er, everyone!] Stepping over the chair she walked over to the doorway. "I'm sorry. Er, I don't know where your first-aid kit is... Could someone...?"
Kai walked silently up to her. "This way."
Otaku gave a small smile. "Thankyou!" Turning around she crashed into the door. "Oh, oops! Forgot to open the door!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
~*~*~*~*~*
How is she and Okita related? Okita is graceful, straight forward, not shy... Tyson glanced at those bright blue eyes of hers and blushed lightly. And with one look at her, I turn into mush...
"What's the matter?" Okita caught Tyson's eye. "Something wrong?"
"Uh, well, er..."
"Are you in stutter mode or something? Just tell me!"
"Uh, well..." Tyson looked at his work. "Er, I'm not sure I got this sum right."
"Oh, well let's see then!"
~*~*~*~*~*
Kai pulled out the antiseptic bottle and dabbed some of it on a piece of cotton.
Otaku blushed slightly. "Um, it's alright, I can do it myself although, thank you for you kindness."
There she goes again! Me kind? Come on! Kai handed it to her, but then stopped half way when he saw blood seeping through her blazer.
Otaku stared at Kai's face, confused. "Are you, um, okay?"
Kai nodded. "I am, you aren't."
"Wha-"
"You're bleeding." Kai lifted up her arm gently. "See?"
Otaku turned VERY red at the gesture. "Um... It's okay, doesn't hurt too much." She pulled her arm away from him. "I'll clean it up and you can go back to work. Sorry for taking up your time."
Kai shook his head. No WAY I'm going back to that math thing! "Look, I'll help you." He rolled up her blazer sleeve and saw how serious the wound was. However above the wound there was a white scar. Finally realizing what he was doing he turned red. WHAT AM I DOING?!?! I haven't figured out why I feel like this and why I'm helping her!!! Therefore, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!?!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autumn Garnet: Ooooh, will Kai figure out what his doing? Tune in for the next thrilling chapter of Back to school!
Kai: Hey!! I ALWAYS know what I'm doing! I know everything!
Autumn Garnet: Yeah, sure! Well, what am I thinking right now?
Kai: [arms crossed with a smirk] Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: [pout] Shucks, right, yet again! Okay, well, what am I thinking now?
Kai: Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: WWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Am I THAT predictable?
Kai: Yes.
Autumn Garnet: *sob* Okay, I'll just go make sure. Ray? What am I thinking about right now?
Ray: Roasting marshmallows.
Autumn Garnet: *sniff* No fair! Cheer me up with your reviews! Please? Maybe I'll become unpredictable again!
Kai: You mean for the first time...
Autumn Garnet: Hey! Don't be mean!!!
