Chapter Six
By Firefly-chan
Everything was going not as I planned it. Why? Well, for one, Kai has not yet tried to kill me yet and he's passed me in the halls about four or five times. They must've found the keys or something because Takisha was no longer chained to his wrist. Meheh. He doesn't even glance at me. MEHEH! And everyone is staring at him and Panix, Takisha, and Rayder! MEHEHEHEHEHEH! AND THEY'RE LAUGHING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
...
Whoo.
Okay, erm, I'm done there. Remind me not to do that again...
Anyway, back to what I was saying before my mind plunged into lunacy, don't you find that the least bit strange? Maybe he's still in shock or something? I dunno but I DO know that I should probably keep my eye on him. The little blue-haired preppy boy is probably plotting something remotely evil (insert gasp) but I will not let that happen! You will stay on your chair of goodness, Kai! FOREVER! Muahahaahahaha!
I guess I must've tilted sideways when I was mentally laughing because I landed on the ground a moment later with the my whole English glance staring at me. I grinned sheepishly and stood up, brushing off my clothes and sliding back into my seat. Uh, okay. Remind me not to do that again either.
I sighed, tapping my fingers against my books and looking up towards the clock. FIVE minutes until the bell rang for lunch? Bu-but that's...five minutes, man! We've already been in here for...um, a long time. And lem'me tell you something. English is definitely not one of my strong classes. Well, now that I think of it, neither are Science and World Languages and History and Geography and...
Okay, you can stop laughing now. So I'm not exactly that good in school. So what? What'll I need it for in the future anyway?
"Tyson?" I looked up at the sound of my teacher's voice.
"Um, yeah?" I said weakly, knowing I had been caught not paying any attention.
"This will be on the test tomorrow." She said, frowning at me. "You might want to pay a bit more attention to it."
I sighed, sinking in my seat. Just my luck. I didn't even know there was a test tomorrow and now we're having one? "Test?" I repeated.
"Yes, Tyson." She shook her head, turning towards the blackboard. "A test. The one that I forewarned the whole class about a week ago."
Oh, yeah. Sure you warned us a week ago. How come I don't remember then?
I opened my mouth to retort an reply but the bell rang before I could manage. I sighed, gathering my things into my arms and standing up, heading out of the classroom. Okay, yay. Now lunch. Then two more periods and I'm finished. More joy. I stopped in front of my locker, pulling the padlock down and shoving my books into it carelessly. I closed it, turning back around and headed off towards the lunchroom alone.
****
After I had my lunch tray I headed off towards the back off the lunchroom, to where Max and Ray and the others were sitting. No, I wasn't going to sit with Kai. Not today. I knew that had something planned and if I went over there it would only enforce their wannabe-evil schemes. See? I am quite intelligent when it comes to these kinds of affairs.
Max blinked at me when I slid into a seat next to him. "I haven't seen you in awhile, Tyson." He said slowly, looking back down at his food. "What have you been up to?"
I waved my hand through the air, grinning. "The usual."
"Ah." Celestyn peered at me from over her glasses. "Trouble, then?"
"More or less." I dug my fork into my mashed potatoes, shrugging.
The group was silent for a moment, perceiving me carefully as I ate my food quietly. Then, after looking at each other, they went back to their previous talking. I scanned the lunchroom, dropping my fork onto my plate and sitting up straight. Wellity, wellity, wellity. What did we have here?
A short, thin girl scuffled past our lunch table, hunched over her tray. She had really, *really* poofy dark blonde hair that kind of looked like an afro and had huge, large glasses that looked like they belonged in the eighties. I raised an eyebrow, nudging Max in the ribs.
"Who's that?" I whispered, motioning with a nod of my head to the girl.
"Huh?" He turned around, following my gaze. "Oh. Her." A large smile suddenly found it's way onto his face. "Uh, heh. That's Bob."
"Bob?" I turned around to face him, looking incredulous. "But I thought it was a girl."
His smile grew. "She is."
"Then--why?" I shook my head, rolling my eyes. "Nevermind. I don't really want to know what kind of whacked out parents she has." I watched her retreating back reproachfully. 'You can make something of this, Tyson.' I thought to myself.
I glanced over my shoulder, eyes searching for a certain blue-haired boy. I saw him towards the other end of the lunchroom, sitting on the edge of the booth at the table. I snickered and looked back at Bob then to Kai again and back to Bob. Oh, this was too perfect.
I pushed away my lunch tray, standing up. Mariah looked up, surprised, and asked, "Where are you going, Tyson?"
"To play." I said, trying to contain my laughing to a minimum. "I'll be back."
I started for the table a couple rows down from our own; the one where Bob was sitting. I held a hand over my mouth when I came up from behind her, tapping her lightly on her shoulder. I dropped my hand when she looked back towards me, her face scrunched up. Meheh, she resembled a mouse almost. She blinked several times, tilting her head to the side before finally speaking, "Hello?"
"Um, yeah, hi." I said, swallowing my previous laughter and trying to look as serious as possible. "You see, there's this guy that, um, likes you."
She stared at me for a long moment. "Me?" She put down her napkin on her tray. "Who?"
I turned around, pointing where Kai was sitting. "You see that guy right there? The one with the blue hair. He's sitting right on the end of the booth."
She squinted her eyes, rubbing a bit at her glasses. She frowned when she realized how I was talking about. "Go away." She snapped, turning back around and sitting down.
"Wait--no!" I rested my hand on my shoulder, trying my best to look 'confused'. "I'm so serious. He really does like you."
She stared at me for a good long moment, as if trying to figure out if I wasn't telling the truth or not. I must've been a better actor then I thought because a second later she smiled softly, pushing her glasses farther up the bridge of her nose. "Really?"
I nodded, making my eyes as wide as possible. "Really." I knelt down, turning my tone into a whisper. "He wants to talk to you but he's too shy." I grinned back at her, nudging her softly. "Go on. Talk to him."
She blushed, ducking her head. "You think I should?"
"I know you should." I assured her, my insides about collapsing from trying to hold back my hysterics. I stood back as she came to a stand and shuffled off towards the end of the lunchroom, glancing back at me once. I waved slightly, letting out a soft snigger as I headed back to my other lunch table. I sat down next to Max again, gripping the table and laughing quietly.
"What's so funny?" Mariah asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at me suspiciously.
"You'll see." I muttered, choking back another wave of laughter and turning around in my chair.
She had reached Kai's table now and was leaning over, talking to him, and by the looks of it, fluttering her eyebrows. I almost fell out of my chair when she practically jumped him, latching onto his arm and resting her head on his shoulders. Muahaha! Poor Kai looked like he was about to have a heart attack. He pushed her away and stood up sharply, beginning to back out of the lunchroom.
Bob stood up as well, watching him leave with confused eyes. She ran after him, though, calling, "Don't leave, my love! We don't have to pretend anymore!"
This was...priceless.
By this time the whole lunchroom was in bowels of laughter. Blaze pressed his hand onto the table, exclaiming, "What did you DO?!"
"Played." I answered between giggles, shaking my head. "I played my game. And I won. Again."
One win the wannabe-evil team.
But two wins for the supremely evil genius Tyson.
****
Yes! School is finally out for the day!
I dodged from my last period class, Geography, and down the hall. I slowed to a stop when I saw one (scary) teacher give me a pointed look, clearly telling me to walk. What was with teachers and walking down halls? What was the big idea of running? I mean, what if the school was being invaded with rabid bunnies? Would they expect us to walk out of the school and get our legs bitten off? Jeez.
I opened my locker, placing my Geography book on the top shelf of it before bending down and taking out my book bag. I gathered all the things I would need, trying my best to fit them all onto the bag. What? I did study in Study Hall...just not schoolwork. I frowned, noticing that I was missing a book. I dug through my piles of junk on the bottom shelf of my locker, growling when a folder got stuck.
"Tyson?" I craned my neck around to see Max peering down at me. "You want me to wait up for you?"
I shook my head. "No, that's fine. You can go."
"Okay." He shrugged and was about to head off before he stopped. "Hey, what you did today in the lunchroom...that was really good." He smiled widely, scratching the back of his head. "I wish I had a camera or something."
"I know." I brushed a lock of hair from my eyes, laughing. "So did I."
His smile faded then and he opened his mouth as if to say something more but only closed it again. He sighed and shook his head, starting to back away again. "Okay, I'll catch you later then?"
"Yeah, sure." I waved as he turned and headed out towards the exit of the school. I focused my attention back to my locker, finally managing to yank the folder from its place. Aha. Of course. There was my other book. I shoved it into my bag as well and zipped it closed, swinging it over my shoulder and coming to a stand.
The halls were almost empty by now. I shut my locker and put the padlock back on it before heading out of the school. It was rather cool outside, but that was probably because fall was approaching. I glanced up at the trees as I slowly made my way down the school steps. They were just beginning to change colors. You couldn't really note that much of a difference but it was there.
I snapped back to attention when I ran into someone. I frowned and backed up, about to tell the person off when I realized whom exactly it was.
Kai.
Shit.
A very pissed off looking Kai.
Double shit.
"Oh, uh, hi, Kai." I started nervously, shifting my book bag to my other shoulder.
"Tyson." He had his teeth gritted rather tightly. Not good. "Tyson, do you have anything to say before I ruin your LIFE?"
I looked up, my eyes wide. And I said the first thing that came to my mind...
"Oooh shiiiiiit."
