Chapter Three--Playing games...in an elevator

It had been thirty minutes since they first got stuck in this stupid elevator, thrity minutes that Kai could have used doing something else. Something like training, or yelling at Rei, ANYTHING besides being in this stupid elevator. It wasn't like Kai really had a choice of being here though and besides, this was all that girl's fault.

This stupid girl that Kai remembered, vaguely from so long ago. The girl that Kai had spent countless hours fonding over but that was all for nothing. The only reason Kai had liked her in the first place was because she was the only girl that Kai had seen for years. And that of course takes it's toll on a guy. It wasn't like Kai was willing to have fucked her or something but you know, he was eleven, he had never seen a girl his own age for more than a few minutes, a guy gets curious. It's a male flaw. One that Kai was going to make sure didn't over-rule his better judgement again.

Besides it wasn't like she was actually good looking, because she wasn't. As far as Kai was concerned she was ugly. The way that purple hair fell in her face, and her green eyes darkened everytime they landed on Kai. The way her nose crinkled when she didn't get her way and she wasn't winning an arguement...

Kai groaned. He was offically obsessed with the girl. Why though? Like he said, he didn't find her attractive, well maybe just a little bit. Was it because she was just like him? Was it the fact that she challanged everything he stood for? Or was it because she wasn't afraid to speak her mind and stand up for those she cared for?

Rei said something which brought Kai out of his deep thinking and he looked up. "What did you say?" Kai asked in the flatest, most emotionless voice he could come up with.

Rei's voice broke through the silence of the elevator again. "I was just wondering if you wanted to join us in our little game." Rei motioned to the rest of the people. "We don't know what we're going to play yet, but that's not the point. The point is we're all bored and need something to do."

Kai pretended to think about it, but seriously was looking out the corner of his eye at Krys, trying to figure out if she was going to play or not. Kai just couldn't figure it out from her body language, or her facial expression so he sighed and turned away from the group. They all thought that that meant he wasn't going to play.

Then Kai's voice was heard in the small elevator again. "Sure, I'll play."

Hannah, like the rest of them, couldn't believe that Kai had actually agreed to join the group in any sortof activity where he had to put up with them. Maybe he was just getting that bored, or maybe, he was trying to earn the attention of someone in the elevator.

From what they had heard, Kai and Krys were already acquainted. Pretty well it seemed too. So why they were avoiding each other, was beyond Hannah's understanding. Maybe they had had a fight before Krys had left to go home. That would leave a mark...but then again, that didn't really sound like Krys to just have a fight and leave. Unless she really liked the person and the last time Krys had said she was here, was when she was eleven, and no one really liked anyone that way back at that age. Then again, Krys was different, so maybe she had.

"Lets play truth or dare." Macy said suddenly. "Yah, that would be fun."

The whole elevator groaned, well just the people inside of it but you get the idea. Hannah shoke her head. "No, no, no, no, no, no, NO! We are NOT going to play truth or dare again. Last time we played truth or dare, Krys couldn't leave her room for weeks because of how embarassed she was. We are not going through that again, especially since we're inside an elevator."

Macy pouted, and when Macy pouts her bottom lip comes out, her black hair was fanned out around her face, and her red eyes turn big, bold and tear-filled. It's enough to make even a puppy feel guilty. Everyone turned away from Macy, trying not to fall victim to her stare, well all the girls. Supposedly the guys hadn't learnt that little trick yet and were immediately sucked in.

"Well, why don't we play truth or dare anyways? It won't be that bad. We'll just say that everything someone dares someone to do, has to be able to take place in this elevator, right now. It won't be that bad." Bryan said, trying to reason with the rest of the girls.

Raye turned to glare at him. "Have you ever played truth or dare with Macy before? I don't think so. Trust me, it's hell. It's not that it's always embarassing, it's just, well...I don't know to describe it but trust me. I am NOT playing truth or dare."

Krys nodded her head in agreement. "You guys can play with Macy if you want, but Hannah, Raye and me, are not going to play, even if you say we have to."

Raye and Hannah nodded in agreement. Rei, Kai, Tala & Bryan sighed, and turned away from Macy. Tala was the next to speak up. "So then what are we going to do?"

Hannah looked at Krys, who looked back at her and shrugged. Hannah sighed, looks like figuring something out was unfortunately up to her. Hannah tried to think of a game that they could play and then eventually gave up. "I don't know."

"Then why don't we play truth or dare so we at least have something to do?" Macy asked, trying to get people to look at her so they could fall victim to her sad face spell. No one did.

Krys spoke up next. "Why don't we play some little kid game or something? Anything but truth or dare."

Rei, who had mvoed away from Hannah since Hannah had calmed down and was okay with the size of the room as long as she didn't really think about it, lifted his ass off the ground, arching it and began to fish in his pocket. Hannah turned a slight shade of red as she watched him. He looked really sexy in that position.

Finally he grinned and pulled something out, it was two decks of cards. "Why don't we play some card game?"

This time everyone agreed and then all scooted in to get closer, so that they could play.

"What are we going to play with eight people?" Kai asked.

"Poker." Rei responded cooly.

After six rounds of poker, Raye found it obvious the Rei, Tala and Bryan played this game often and were pretty good at it. Rei had won two rounds, Tala had won two rounds and Bryan had won two as well. The rest of them, were either as far down the pot as you can go, or in Kai and Raye's case, just under it.

Krys sighed, and threw her cards down. "I give up."

Rei smirked. "Aw, come on you can't give up now. I have a good hand."

Everyone groaned at that and Rei held his hands in front of his face for protection. "Just kidding."

Kai rolled his eyes. "Why don't we kick the girl's out then."

Hannah, Raye, Krys and Macy turned to glare at him. Kai glared back. Rei shook his head. "No, we're not going to kick the girl's out, but we are going to partner up and then we'll play bridge."

Krys blinked, Raye tilted her head, Hannah looked at Rei weirdly and Macy's eyebrow shot way up there. Raye was the first to ask their question. "And hwo exactly are we both going to see the cards?"

Rei smiled. "You sit on their laps of course." He turned to the guys. "Tala, you're with Macy. Kai, you're with Krys. Bryan's with Raye and that leaves Hannah with me."

Everyone groaned and glared at the person they were set up with. Krys shook her head this time. "No, I don't think so. I'm sorry but I'm not going to be sitting on that guy's lap any time soon."

Kai nodded. "And I don't want her on my lap any time soon."

Rei groaned. "Come on, what harm can come from you sitting on his lap?"

"ALOT!" Everyone said at the same time.

Rei shook his head. "Fine, just sit next to him or something."

"No." Everyone said and went back to their orginal spots against the wall and that marks the end of the games.
