~~~*~~~
"You two should be *ashamed* of yourselves! What were you THINKING when you dropped chocolate and whipped cream on your fellow team mate?!" The team leader, Mr. Voldner, scolded. "And sprinkles." Added the male senior in front of the teacher. "QUIET!" Kai starred at the base of his chair, rolling his eyes in process. Allison stiffled a laugh.
"And YOU were no different!" The green haired teacher wipped around to face Allison. The girl stayed quiet. "What were you even *thinking,* attacking someone like that? He would have seriously been hurt! You, on the other hand, only got...got...," Mr. Voldner looked at Allison from head to toe. "...got sunday toppings on you!"
It was Kai's turn to snort.
"That doesn't mean I'm letting you go!"
And the room was silent, again.
"Both of you! You have detention for a week starting on Monday! 2:15 to 3:15! If your late, I will add ANOTHER week! Ms. Granger, I forbid you to go to any intermirals, including beyblading for two weeks, AND you have to scrub every equiptment used after disection of the frog in the eleventh grade class! As for you Mr. Hiwatari... I will talk to your parents tonight!" Yelled Mr. Voldner. Allison hung her mouth open wide.
It seemed like she was doing that guester more often than usual.
She turned her head to face Kai. Allison noticed the horror in his eyes and rolled her eyes. What the hell? Was just telling his parents he poured whipped cream and all that crap on a girl as bad as scrubbing disection kits?!
"Return to room 260 for your project papers." Exclaimed the teacher. His blue eyes calmed down from the rage he was in earlier. "What about returning to our third block-"
"That IS where your suppose to go!" The teacher roared again at Allison.
The lass backed away. 'Fucking bitch.'
"Now hurry up and get to class!"
~~~
"You stupid BASTARD!" "Shut up."
"If it weren't for YOU, I wouldn't be spending my stupid afternoon in a damn classroom, *with* YOU, but I'll have my ass in the science room cleaning frog disection kits, *without* YOU!" Allison cried. "And YOU? All *YOU* do after pouring ice cream crap on me is to have the principal talk to your MOM!"
Kai closed his eyes to try to keep his anger down as the girl next to him babbled on angrily for his harmless prank.
"And what now, huh?! Mommys lil' boy upset 'cause the principwal is gunna tell his mommy that he did a bad boo boo?" She continued, testing his patience.
"Just because -"
"LOOK!" Kai snapped. I mean, he really snapped. The blue haired senior pushed Allison against the forest green lockers that were newly painted in the empty hallway.
"*YOU* wouldn't have a damn clue on how it is in my life! My parents always urge me to do better in school, are so damn picky on how to behave, and their at my every move in life! They always tell me what to do, what not to, and you know what? I've spent my entire life having THEM tell me my next move, never have I chose what *I* want! Its either them, or my grandfather! My father is abusive, and my mother tries her best to have me, her 'little' son, do best in school, while my grandfather is constantly lecturing me on the beyblading!" Shouted Kai. Each sentence he said dug deeper into Allison's skin. His head hung lower and lower, causing the blue haired girl to slide down nervously against the lockers.
"You wouldn't know how it is to be me, would you? You wouldn't know how it is to have parents like that, would you?" Kai asked, partly sneering. His maroon colored eyes flashed brightly in hatred and annoyance, digging into Allison's slightly nervous turquoise eyes.
But the nervousness was shook away. Anger controled over her.
"You know what?" She asked back. Kai didn't budge.
"Your right. I *wouldn't* know." Allison simply said. The boy was caught off guard. He thought his foe was going to come up with some smart come- back, but instead, she agreed with him. The girl beneath his shadow pushed him, so she could get back up standing instead of standing slanted.
"I wouldn't know at all. For your information," She glared at him, "I don't have parents. Their dead. For all I know, they could be a bitch like yours, friendly like Mariahs, or even adventerous. Maybe that lead them to their death. But for your 411, let me at least tell you something."
She paused.
"Your lucky you even have parents."
With one quick movement, Allison turned to her heals and walked away from Kai. He starred after the blue haired figure as she walked down the hall.
~~~~
"Whats your occupation?" "Hm? Oh, a fashion designer! Yours?" "Shit. Preschool teacher." "Haha!"
A mixture of voices shuffled through the room as the teacher handed out their 'status' sheet. Lorenza eagerly waited for her friend to enter the room. Her silver eyes flashed with anticipitation.
The teacher dipped her half moon glasses down at Lorenza as she handed a piece of paper to her. Lorenza quickly took a glimpse at the paper, just scouring for the important facts. She was a model. Wife of a actor. Very wealthy. Two kids.
That was the least of her worries. She finally saw Kai enter the room with a emotionless expression plastered onto his face. Her spirits suddenly lit up.
"Wheres Ally?" The brunette asked him. "Girls locker room." Lorenza let out a understanding "Oh," And returned to her seat. At least she knew her friend was okay. Allison was probably taking a shower to get the chocolate out of her hair and changing into her gym clothes. It really didn't matter. Her gym clothes were practicly the same as her outfit for school anyways.
"So...Ms. Siewartsen, I'm sure your a very, very good lay." Complimented a coy voice, obviously owned by a male, who slid his arms around her thin body.
"Oh, go away, Tala. Theres more important -" She turned her head, only to be met nose-to-nose by the red head. A light shade of crimson dabbed across her face. She pushed him away from her. "Oh, go away!" Lorenza swatted him away. "Y-Your so annoying!"
Allison then entered the room. She had a baseball cap on, with a big red 'R' representing the Red Sox, with her hair messily tied up so that only strands were seen on the side of her face. She had on blue Addidas sweat pants with a matching blouse.
"Hat off, Allison." The teacher instructed, peering through her half-circle glasses.
Reluctantly, Allison peeled the cap off her head, her blue hair loosely flowing down to the middle of her back. No one ever seen her without a hair tie on. No one.
"Damn...someone's hair grew fast." Commented Tala as she walked past him. "Oh shut up...." She plopped down in front of Kai.
"So what now?" She asked. The boy across from her thrusted a paper out at her. Carelessly, Allison grabbed the paper from him rather roughly and scanned over the words.
"What the hell? As if I'm going to fuck you!" She cried, her left hand acted as if she was about to grab something in mid air while her right hand kept a deep grip on the piece of paper. "Get a clue. Your not actually going to get laid by me, we're just going to get a kid from the orphanage, thats all. Its not like anyone would want to do it with you." Kai huffed. The girl remaind shuddering. 'Think happy thoughts....'
"Thats..just a nasty thought to think about. Well anyways, what are you?" She asked, grabbing Kai's paper from his grasp. She choked as she read the words next to 'Occupation.'
"This is not so not fair! Your and actor while I'm a graphic designer?!" She looked at the paper in her hands unbelieveingly. This just wasn't her day.
"Live with it. I am."
Allison rolled her eyes. She wondered what Tyson got. The blue haired girl threw back Kai's paper and snatched her own. "Yearly income.... cool! 35 thousand! SCORE!" She beamed at Lorenza. "'Bout a million." She laughed.
The blue haired girl stuck her tongue out at her friend cutely. "Its not fair! All of you are so rich and I'm so...not!" "And why am I not surprised?" Sneered Kai. "Oh, shut up!"
Allison continued servaying the piece of paper in her hands. "Hm...hey at least I live in a mansion. At least my 'husband' as *some* use...."
"Alright, people! I'll be handing out the information on your child, you are to be assigned to pick them up on Saturday at six. Just in case you don't forget, its at the top of the slip I'll be giving to you in a moment. And Ivan," She gave a glance at the blonde at the back of the room, "Please don't loose it. I don't want to make a thousand more copies."
The teacher walked around the room busily, occasionally stopping at a question or two every minute. Allison eyed the teacher as she stopped at the table next to hers, otherwise known as Tala and Lorenza's table.
Her brunette friend's eyes darkened in horror. "A four yea' old an' a eleven month old baby?!" She blurtted out. "Chill, we have cash." Tala joked. His 'spouse' rolled her eyes. Allison let out a laugh and pointed at her friend teasingly with a hand over her mouth. "Be quiet!"
Ms. Menardi, the teacher, stopped at her table and placed a packet of papers in front of Kai. "I advise you, Kai, to have a seat next to Allison. It makes it much easier to work with." The male student shook his head. "Its fine."
Allison turned around to face Kai again. "So? Do we have a boy or a girl?" It sounded so strange asking him this....
"Boy." Allison's eyes lightened. "Awww...really? Let me see." Kai flipped the packet around so Allison could see the colored picture of the boy paper- clipped onto the packet.
The five year old boy, or so Allison thought, had blonde bags slightly above his sapphire eyes. They were spikes, yet they didn't stick up, instead they were neatly placed like bangs. His figure looked fragile, his eyes looked very innocent, yet his smile lit up the picture.
"Hes...so..." Allison took a deep breath in. "CUTE!" Kai shook his head. This was going to be hell.
"How old is he?" She asked. Kai quickly looked over the front of the packet for the word 'age.'
"Six."
'Close enough.' Thought Allison.
"Wait, can I see that for a moment?" She asked him, placing a hand out. Kai nonchalontly thrusted the paper into her hands. "Hey, look! Hes a Libra." She giggled, looking at his astrological sign. You can tell, she was very intrested in astrology.
"Class? Quiet down, I need to say something. The teachers have already informed your parents or gaurdians over the summer that you will be doing this project to start off the school year. We must ask you to go to either yours or your partners' house for the first week. Its up to both of you to decide." Ms. Menardi looked over at both Kai and Allison. "Note that I said *both* of you. Durring tomorrow, you'll go to the other person's house, or yours, just to look around. On Saturday at six, everyone will go to the Middleton Orphanage. I'm sure all of you know where it is, it *is* just across from the mall. It tells you to more specific procedure on the other side of the status sheet."
Kai turned the paper on the right side of his desk over. He skimmed through the paragraph briefly. "So are we going to your place or mine?" Allison asked, looking at Kai. He shrugged. "Ugh! Why the hell am I making all the decisions? Speak up!" "Fine! We'll go to mine!" "Okay, then! How about tomorrow at four?" She asked. That would leave her two hours to get from her house to his after school, which ended at 2:15.
"Whatever. Give me your planner." Kai replied. Then the thought suddenly hit her. "Oh crap! Wheres my binder?" She jerked her head left to face Lorenza. "Laurie, did you see my binder anywhere? I think I left it in the auditorium." Lorenza looked up from reading her status sheet. "Hm?? Oh, yeah, that. Its under your chair. You left it when Mr. Voldner took you to his room or something." Allison looked down beneath her chair, finding a dark blue 'Five-star' binder neatly placed on the metal platform. "Thanks." "Yup."
"Here." Allison said, giving Kai her binder. She knew he was going to give her his address. The senior across from her scribbled something down and pushed her binder back to her. "233 Tolbi Street? Where the heck is that?" She asked, reading the semi-neat handwritting of Kai's. Her spouse sighed and jerked her binder back to write down directions. "There. Happy?" He spat. Allison huffed. Did he ever learn manners?
~*~*~
School was a breeze the next day, but there was a lot more talking inbetween, and in, classes on the new project. Allison quickly went home to tell her grandfather that she was going to her partners' house, giving him a peck on the check as she exited the dojo's main entrence.
'Ride bus 24. Okay...' She thought to herself inwardly. The violinist took out a blue 'Hello Kitty' pen from a mini backpack she carried with her and wrote down a check next to the first pair of letters written down in her planner.
'Get off at second stop...' The bus stopped. "Is this your stop?" A women asked beside her as Allison shifted to put one of her backpack straps on one of her shoulders and pick up her pair of skates. "Um..yeah." The raven haired lady smiled at her and got up to give Allison more room to get off from their seats to the aile of the bus. "Thanks."
Once she got off, Allison looked around at her surroundings. Sure, she knew Kai was rich.
But she didn't know he was *this* rich.
The whole entire neighborhood was surrounded with huge estates guarded by gates and well, guards. A limo sped by her, making her hair fly up like a tornadoe. "Damn it."
Allison patted her hair down again and looked down at her planner, again. "Go down the street until you find a tunnel..." She tiredly slammed her planner against her knee and looked around. "End of the street?" She asked herself. "Yeah...more like end of the world..." From a distance; she could make out a large mansion painted red. Well, at least she had a lead.
She couldn't see any tunnel, or yet the end of this street, from her view. With a sigh, she sat down on the burning hot sidewalk, her jeans stretching a little. In a second, Allison was able to put on her blades sloppily and took off to the opposite end of the street where she was. The street was way too quiet for her likings. Again, grabbed something out of her backpack. What, you ask? Her CD player.
Humming to herself (The song, Swing, Swing.), she ignored all the strange looks people that passed by gave her. Allison didn't know what was wrong with them, haven't they ever saw someone rollerblading?
When she finally did reach the end of the house's estate, the blue haired girl found herself looking at a huge stone-made wall with vines covering it. Two guards stood on each side of the large black gate the seperated her from the house behind the gate.
Stopping for a stop, she looked at the guards shyly. "Hi...er...um...I'm here for a school project? I'm Allison Granger, his..um..partner?" Allison asked timidly. The guards didn't spare her a glance. They remaind quiet, armed with a gun in hand.
"Um...hello?" She asked.
Silence.
"Helllooo.....?" Again, she asked. But this time she waved a hand in front of a guards face. In a instant, he grabbed her arm tightly so she couldn't move. "Oww! Let go!" Screamed Allison. "No one is to see Master Hiwatari unless they have made an official meeting with him." Grunted the guard that had a death grip on Allison's right arm. "Well...er...ow! Let go! I'm his stupid partner for this three week long project!" Allison was enraged. "Search her bag." Demanded the first guard, who still had a hold on Allison's arm. The second guard which had the exact outfit as the first took the senior's backpack from her hands.
"Argh! What the heck?! Give it back!" She struggled against the man's grip. "Theres a camera." The second guard croaked. The first guard gave Allison a dirty look. "Photographers. My all time least favorites." He sneered. From a point, the sneer reminded the violinist of Kai. "Get her out of here." The second guard nodded and obeyed his partner's command. With a push, he sent her out into the roadway. Loosing her balance, she fell bottom first on the ground. 'Damn it!'
They threw her bag at her the moment she made contact with the ground.
"OW!" Her camera hit her in the elbow. "If that camera's broken...I swear I'm gunna sue him." Allison muttered to herself. She glared at the two guards and walked away from their view.
Rubbing her red wrist, she cursed them under her breath. Who in the right mind would just assume she was a photographer?! Did it LOOK like she would really want any connection between the Hiwatari family? NO!
Allison began skating around lifelessly around the front of the estate lifelessly. She had to get in the house. She wasn't even sure when the next bus would arrive to get her back home! And thanks to a certain COUSIN, she had to get a new cellphone.
'Think...think! How the hell can I get into the freakin' house?!' The thought suddenly hit her. Out of the tiny neurons in her brain, the movie/words, "What a Girl Wants," popped up.
'Vines...Vines...Vines!' She saw the lime green vines that criss-crossed the stones that made the tunnel. The problem was....well, the guards were on the other side. They would certainly know when she landed because of the noise. With a sigh, the blue haired girl continued skating towards the edge of the house. The hill that sandwhiched the tunnel began growing taller and taller, giving Allison an idea.
"Of COURSE!" Yelled Allison, smacking herself in the head. She took her blades off and continued to put on her shoes. In a moment, she was racing up the hill.
The violinist's mouth dropped in awe. Kai didn't live in a house. He lived in...
...A PALACE.
It was...just not possible. The mansion alone took up more space than her dojo...times ten! His house...estate was probably bigger than the white house! From where she was looking, she could make out two other obsticals in her way. Another huge fence. And a really, really, really, really,
REALLY,
big maze made out of grass. Or bushes. Or whatever the hell the over grown weeds were named.
Allison put her hands numbly on the black spikes as she crouched on the other side of the wall. If she jumped now she would probably break a leg...
Literally.
A voice called, "Hey, YOU!"
With a scream, Allison lost her balance completely and let go of the spades that stuck out of the wall. ("OH MY GOD!")
The last thing she could see before she landed on the ground - feet first, luckly - was a man in his forty's running towards the main entrence of the Hiwatari Estate.
Her first feeling when she landed on her feet was wet. Watery wet. Soggy wet. Allison looked down to see her jeans soaked in knee-high water.
"I...am so lucky..." She sighed sarcasticly, rubbing the temple of her head wearily.
"There she is!" The farmiliar voice the guard that held her arm in custody rang in the air. "Oh gods...."
Allison pulled her left foot out of the water in a rush and raced towards the maze a couple of yards in front of her. When she entered the maze, she looked around franticly, running whichever way she thought was right.
'Damn, Kai!' Thought Allison. 'What is WRONG with your house?!'
A thin arrow with a sharp blade pierced her way. It stuck the jade green bush, which was an inch away from the blue haired girls face. Her eyes stared at the empty space in front of her lifelessly. That was. Way. Too. Close. If she was to make it out of this maze, she needs to start using those marial arts skills her grandfather taught her!
"You go that way!" She heard someone say. 'Crap!' With that, she took off running. Yet again.
The violinist kept on turning left and right, avoiding traces of sounds whenever heard. She tried running silently, although it was practicly impossible because of the traps that was set in the grass made maze. What kind of traps, you ask? Well...
~~
"This is so stupid!" Muttered Allison. 'If I see Kai..ooouuuu..-' "AH!" Metal bars sprung from the two sides of the maze and trapped her body. "Over here!" A guard yelled. 'Shit..'
Four five inched poles caged her body, two in the front and two in the back. Squeezing her way up, she mounted the poles like parallel bars. "There she is!" The guard with the brown mustache cried. He pointed at her accusingly. "Want me? Come and get me!" Allison stuck her tongue out at the guards as she leaped from pole to pole. She just had that sudden urge to say that to them.
~~
Allison came to a dead end and stopped running. Why didn't she think of it before?! She could've just passed through the bushes. It wasn't like they were trees or anything.
In a quick motion, she swung around and inserted both her hands into the surface of the bushes. One emotion shot through her mind as soon as she did so. Pain.
"OW!" Screamed Allison. Her hands flung out of the bushes fiercly as she saw a thin (and short) stream of blood flowing from her fingers. Quickly licking her fingers, she could hear footsteps hastily running her way. Allison bit her lip. The only way now to get away was, well.... out.
Sucking in a deep breath of air, Allison ducked her head through the bushes, a couple of thorns gliding past her blue hair now and then. She then dared to put her left foot into the thorny bush, and then her right. Thorns prickled her skin and skratched away the peach coloring of her arm, denting it with either white or red. "Ow ow ow ow ow!!!" She cried, lingering the last 'ow.' The prickly thorns practicly ripped her shirt, her stomach showed clearly through the roughly ripped edges. She clicked her tongue irratedly.
"Now look what he did! I liked this shirt, too!" Allison looked down at her hands. "Ugh! It looks likes someone beat me, too!" She whinned. Her arms were pinkish red, with thin marks dabbing her peach skin. Her whole entire look described her like she just got out of doing something...
...dirty.
~~~
"Tala, all your throws are shit!" Shouted Kai, chucking the brown football towards the ground. "Dude! I'm tired! How the hell am I suppose to keep up with you?" Tala cried. "Your like superman or something!" Kai snorted. A servent came running towards the two boys that were passing the football to one another. He seemed to be in a rush.
"Master Kai, it seems like someone has broken into your estate! The two security guards are out to chase her, and we've already called the rest to search for her. It seems like your mom wants you in the house quickly." The servant informed. A quick trace of panic raced through Kai's eyes, but disappeared as soon as it was shone. "A girl!?" He echoed. "Yes." "What does she look like?" Kai asked urgently.
"Er...I do believe that the guards described her with blue hair and um... er... some color hair-" "-Blue?" "Yes! Blue. They told me that shes heading west from the maze." Added one of Kai's many servants. Tala ran over. "Isn't that where your dad told the gaurds to set new lasers in?" He asked. Kai nodded grimly. "Do you think its her?" Kai nodded again. "Oh shit..." With that, the youngest of all Hiwatari's took off towards the direction the gigantic maze was set in. "Master!" The servant cried out. "Leave him. Hes goin' to be all right. Just tell him I gotta go." Said Tala. The servant nodded.
~~~
"Damnnn! Where the heck am I suppose to go now!?" Muttered Allison. She looked from side to side, quickly catching a glimpse of more people with uniforms identical to the two guards she encountered outside. She let out a distressed scream. "Where the hell are you, Hiwatari?!"
Running again, she raced further west from the maze, unknowingly that was where lasers were set.
Not soon later, she tripped. Although barely visable, Allison could make out a transparent piece of rope set three feet away from her landing position. A sudden 'Buzz' ran through the air and she swung her head around to see what it was.
And what did she do?
She froze.
Two thin, see-through red beam closed in on her from the west and east side. But Allison didn't see the beam that slowly lowered its height from above her. In a instant, she began scrambling to get up, but a sudden shove from a person flying out of no where stopped her.
The two people rolled on the ground, Allison letting go over her stuff that flung over to places about four meters away from her, couldn't stop. They rolled down the hill, Allison finally noticing that all that work she went through was only the first part of Kai's house, and stopped finally at the base of the hill. She knew instantly that the only other person who could've pushed her away *that* roughly from a beam that was about to kill her was none other than....
...her husband.
Both of their heads were still erect from their encounter, their hearts pounding rapidly. Allison could hear Kai's heart against her, and Kai vice versa. She let out a deep sigh and laid her head down on the grass. "I hate you."
Kai sighed, too. He laid his head on the only thing between him and the ground tiredly. That sprint from one side of the house to another was *very* tiring. Aparrently, it was her chest. He listened to her heartbeat wearily.
"I know."
~*~*~*~Tala's House~*~*~*~
Lorenza rang the doorbell of the pale blue house. "Comming!" A friendly, motherly voice shouted. The brunette could hear footsteps running to the front door. She could see a shadow belonging to a female not taller than herself fixing her hair. Not later, the door opened.
"Why, hello there! I'm Tala's mom, just call me Mary." Greeted a fourty year old women, grinning cheekily. Small wrinkles were shown just outside both her eyes as she laughed good heartidly. "You must be his partner. My, aren't you beautiful. C'mon in, Talas up in his room. Be a dear and wake him up for me? Suppers almost ready. I hope you'll find my dumplings good. Tally finds them very refreshing." Mary said quickly, not letting Lorenza get a word in. Lorenza snorted and choked back a laugh as she heard the name "Tally."
"Shua, I'll wake Tala up. By the way, my names Lorenza Montiero, nice ta meet you, Mrs. Siewartsen." She placed a hand out in front of her. Talas mom looked at Lorenza's outstretched arm. "Oh don't be silly, child! Your a part of the family now! Theres no need to call me Mrs. Siewartsen. I sound so old when people call me that." Explained Mary, tucking in a loose strand of red hair behind her ears. "Now do hurry up and wake up Tala, I would hate it if you tasted my dumplings cold." Rushed Mrs. Siewartsen. "Okay." "Its the first room to the left. I'm pretty sure you'll know which one it is." She smiled at Lorenza.
Taking off her sneakers, Lorenza climbed up the stairs quietly, but quickly, and looked around. For sure, she knew which room it was.
A cluster of stickers with names like, 'GET OUT' or 'YOU + ENTER = KILL' or 'Enter and Die.' Or skater company brands, and bands that Tala obviously liked (Ex: Sum*41, Linkin Park...). She turned the gold doornob that was barely shone with all the signs stuck onto the face of the door.
And what did she find?
The most unexpected thing ever.
Tala sleeping. Or even taking a nap. But most of all, sleeping. He was looking almost innocent, like an angel. Lorenza made a disgusted face inwardly. Him? An angel? ....No. But she had to admit, him sleeping was much more better than him terrorizing everything at school with his companion, Kai.
~
The red-head that was spawled out onto the messy bed without bedsheets covering him. He just got back home from Kai's house and snuck up the vines that helped him climb up to his room. He opened his eyes just as someone entered his room. Tala had a quick glance at the door way, finding Lorenza enter his room. With a quick motion, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He heard her shuffle around.
"This place is sucha dump... ew...whot is that smell!?" He heard her complain. Tala choked back a laugh. Again, he could imagine her body move around his room, moving everywhere. He could then see her shadow overtowering his 'sleeping' form.
"Get up." She ordered. He didn't budge. "Get up!" Lorenza sighed.
~
The silver eyed teenager sighed deeply and kneeled down in front of him. She put her hands on the bed in front of Tala. "Ya know...if ya weren't such an ass, ya would be pretty cute." She admitted. Lorenza took in a deep breath of air and placed both her hands on Tala's left arm, supporting his head. She shook it violently.
~
"Ya know...if ya weren't such an ass, ya would be pretty cute." He heard her say. In less than a second, he could feel her shaking his arm to get him to wake up. He really felt like grinning madly now. The possibilities in teasing her about this could be endless. He stirred, thinking that this moment could probably make the Oscars, and hugged Lorenza with his right arm. Her small body, compared to his, gave into his grip.
~
Lorenza turned so that her face would meet Tala's. Their noses were inches apart. "Ya really would..." She breathed. Tala couldn't hide his grin now. Lorenza could see it clearly. "Oh really?" The flamming red head asked, his eyes still not opening.
His partner's face turned red. In both anger and embarrasment. She raised her arm up.
And what did she do?
*SMACK!*

It was Kai's turn to snort.
"That doesn't mean I'm letting you go!"
And the room was silent, again.
"Both of you! You have detention for a week starting on Monday! 2:15 to 3:15! If your late, I will add ANOTHER week! Ms. Granger, I forbid you to go to any intermirals, including beyblading for two weeks, AND you have to scrub every equiptment used after disection of the frog in the eleventh grade class!

It seemed like she was doing that guester more often than usual.
She turned her head to face Kai. Allison noticed the horror in his eyes and rolled her eyes. What the hell? Was just telling his parents he poured whipped cream and all that crap on a girl as bad as scrubbing disection kits?!
"Return to room 260 for your project papers." Exclaimed the teacher. His blue eyes calmed down from the rage he was in earlier. "What about returning to our third block-"
"That IS where your suppose to go!" The teacher roared again at Allison.
The lass backed away. 'Fucking bitch.'
"Now hurry up and get to class!"
~~~
"You stupid BASTARD!" "Shut up."
"If it weren't for YOU, I wouldn't be spending my stupid afternoon in a damn classroom, *with* YOU, but I'll have my ass in the science room cleaning frog disection kits, *without* YOU!" Allison cried. "And YOU? All *YOU* do after pouring ice cream crap on me is to have the principal talk to your MOM!"
Kai closed his eyes to try to keep his anger down as the girl next to him babbled on angrily for his harmless prank.
"And what now, huh?! Mommys lil' boy upset 'cause the principwal is gunna tell his mommy that he did a bad boo boo?" She continued, testing his patience.
"Just because -"
"LOOK!" Kai snapped. I mean, he really snapped. The blue haired senior pushed Allison against the forest green lockers that were newly painted in the empty hallway.
"*YOU* wouldn't have a damn clue on how it is in my life! My parents always urge me to do better in school, are so damn picky on how to behave, and their at my every move in life! They always tell me what to do, what not to, and you know what? I've spent my entire life having THEM tell me my next move, never have I chose what *I* want! Its either them, or my grandfather! My father is abusive, and my mother tries her best to have me, her 'little' son, do best in school, while my grandfather is constantly lecturing me on the beyblading!" Shouted Kai. Each sentence he said dug deeper into Allison's skin. His head hung lower and lower, causing the blue haired girl to slide down nervously against the lockers.
"You wouldn't know how it is to be me, would you? You wouldn't know how it is to have parents like that, would you?" Kai asked, partly sneering. His maroon colored eyes flashed brightly in hatred and annoyance, digging into Allison's slightly nervous turquoise eyes.
But the nervousness was shook away. Anger controled over her.
"You know what?" She asked back. Kai didn't budge.
"Your right. I *wouldn't* know." Allison simply said. The boy was caught off guard. He thought his foe was going to come up with some smart come- back, but instead, she agreed with him. The girl beneath his shadow pushed him, so she could get back up standing instead of standing slanted.
"I wouldn't know at all. For your information," She glared at him, "I don't have parents. Their dead. For all I know, they could be a bitch like yours, friendly like Mariahs, or even adventerous. Maybe that lead them to their death. But for your 411, let me at least tell you something."
She paused.
"Your lucky you even have parents."
With one quick movement, Allison turned to her heals and walked away from Kai. He starred after the blue haired figure as she walked down the hall.
~~~~
"Whats your occupation?" "Hm? Oh, a fashion designer! Yours?" "Shit. Preschool teacher." "Haha!"
A mixture of voices shuffled through the room as the teacher handed out their 'status' sheet. Lorenza eagerly waited for her friend to enter the room. Her silver eyes flashed with anticipitation.
The teacher dipped her half moon glasses down at Lorenza as she handed a piece of paper to her. Lorenza quickly took a glimpse at the paper, just scouring for the important facts. She was a model. Wife of a actor. Very wealthy. Two kids.
That was the least of her worries. She finally saw Kai enter the room with a emotionless expression plastered onto his face. Her spirits suddenly lit up.
"Wheres Ally?" The brunette asked him. "Girls locker room." Lorenza let out a understanding "Oh," And returned to her seat. At least she knew her friend was okay. Allison was probably taking a shower to get the chocolate out of her hair and changing into her gym clothes. It really didn't matter. Her gym clothes were practicly the same as her outfit for school anyways.
"So...Ms. Siewartsen, I'm sure your a very, very good lay." Complimented a coy voice, obviously owned by a male, who slid his arms around her thin body.
"Oh, go away, Tala. Theres more important -" She turned her head, only to be met nose-to-nose by the red head. A light shade of crimson dabbed across her face. She pushed him away from her. "Oh, go away!" Lorenza swatted him away. "Y-Your so annoying!"
Allison then entered the room. She had a baseball cap on, with a big red 'R' representing the Red Sox, with her hair messily tied up so that only strands were seen on the side of her face. She had on blue Addidas sweat pants with a matching blouse.
"Hat off, Allison." The teacher instructed, peering through her half-circle glasses.
Reluctantly, Allison peeled the cap off her head, her blue hair loosely flowing down to the middle of her back. No one ever seen her without a hair tie on. No one.
"Damn...someone's hair grew fast." Commented Tala as she walked past him. "Oh shut up...." She plopped down in front of Kai.
"So what now?" She asked. The boy across from her thrusted a paper out at her. Carelessly, Allison grabbed the paper from him rather roughly and scanned over the words.
"What the hell? As if I'm going to fuck you!" She cried, her left hand acted as if she was about to grab something in mid air while her right hand kept a deep grip on the piece of paper. "Get a clue. Your not actually going to get laid by me, we're just going to get a kid from the orphanage, thats all. Its not like anyone would want to do it with you." Kai huffed. The girl remaind shuddering. 'Think happy thoughts....'
"Thats..just a nasty thought to think about. Well anyways, what are you?" She asked, grabbing Kai's paper from his grasp. She choked as she read the words next to 'Occupation.'
"This is not so not fair! Your and actor while I'm a graphic designer?!" She looked at the paper in her hands unbelieveingly. This just wasn't her day.
"Live with it. I am."
Allison rolled her eyes. She wondered what Tyson got. The blue haired girl threw back Kai's paper and snatched her own. "Yearly income.... cool! 35 thousand! SCORE!" She beamed at Lorenza. "'Bout a million." She laughed.
The blue haired girl stuck her tongue out at her friend cutely. "Its not fair! All of you are so rich and I'm so...not!" "And why am I not surprised?" Sneered Kai. "Oh, shut up!"
Allison continued servaying the piece of paper in her hands. "Hm...hey at least I live in a mansion. At least my 'husband' as *some* use...."
"Alright, people! I'll be handing out the information on your child, you are to be assigned to pick them up on Saturday at six. Just in case you don't forget, its at the top of the slip I'll be giving to you in a moment. And Ivan," She gave a glance at the blonde at the back of the room, "Please don't loose it. I don't want to make a thousand more copies."
The teacher walked around the room busily, occasionally stopping at a question or two every minute. Allison eyed the teacher as she stopped at the table next to hers, otherwise known as Tala and Lorenza's table.
Her brunette friend's eyes darkened in horror. "A four yea' old an' a eleven month old baby?!" She blurtted out. "Chill, we have cash." Tala joked. His 'spouse' rolled her eyes. Allison let out a laugh and pointed at her friend teasingly with a hand over her mouth. "Be quiet!"
Ms. Menardi, the teacher, stopped at her table and placed a packet of papers in front of Kai. "I advise you, Kai, to have a seat next to Allison. It makes it much easier to work with." The male student shook his head. "Its fine."
Allison turned around to face Kai again. "So? Do we have a boy or a girl?" It sounded so strange asking him this....
"Boy." Allison's eyes lightened. "Awww...really? Let me see." Kai flipped the packet around so Allison could see the colored picture of the boy paper- clipped onto the packet.
The five year old boy, or so Allison thought, had blonde bags slightly above his sapphire eyes. They were spikes, yet they didn't stick up, instead they were neatly placed like bangs. His figure looked fragile, his eyes looked very innocent, yet his smile lit up the picture.
"Hes...so..." Allison took a deep breath in. "CUTE!" Kai shook his head. This was going to be hell.
"How old is he?" She asked. Kai quickly looked over the front of the packet for the word 'age.'
"Six."
'Close enough.' Thought Allison.
"Wait, can I see that for a moment?" She asked him, placing a hand out. Kai nonchalontly thrusted the paper into her hands. "Hey, look! Hes a Libra." She giggled, looking at his astrological sign. You can tell, she was very intrested in astrology.
"Class? Quiet down, I need to say something. The teachers have already informed your parents or gaurdians over the summer that you will be doing this project to start off the school year. We must ask you to go to either yours or your partners' house for the first week. Its up to both of you to decide." Ms. Menardi looked over at both Kai and Allison. "Note that I said *both* of you. Durring tomorrow, you'll go to the other person's house, or yours, just to look around. On Saturday at six, everyone will go to the Middleton Orphanage. I'm sure all of you know where it is, it *is* just across from the mall. It tells you to more specific procedure on the other side of the status sheet."
Kai turned the paper on the right side of his desk over. He skimmed through the paragraph briefly. "So are we going to your place or mine?" Allison asked, looking at Kai. He shrugged. "Ugh! Why the hell am I making all the decisions? Speak up!" "Fine! We'll go to mine!" "Okay, then! How about tomorrow at four?" She asked. That would leave her two hours to get from her house to his after school, which ended at 2:15.
"Whatever. Give me your planner." Kai replied. Then the thought suddenly hit her. "Oh crap! Wheres my binder?" She jerked her head left to face Lorenza. "Laurie, did you see my binder anywhere? I think I left it in the auditorium." Lorenza looked up from reading her status sheet. "Hm?? Oh, yeah, that. Its under your chair. You left it when Mr. Voldner took you to his room or something." Allison looked down beneath her chair, finding a dark blue 'Five-star' binder neatly placed on the metal platform. "Thanks." "Yup."
"Here." Allison said, giving Kai her binder. She knew he was going to give her his address. The senior across from her scribbled something down and pushed her binder back to her. "233 Tolbi Street? Where the heck is that?" She asked, reading the semi-neat handwritting of Kai's. Her spouse sighed and jerked her binder back to write down directions. "There. Happy?" He spat. Allison huffed. Did he ever learn manners?
~*~*~
School was a breeze the next day, but there was a lot more talking inbetween, and in, classes on the new project. Allison quickly went home to tell her grandfather that she was going to her partners' house, giving him a peck on the check as she exited the dojo's main entrence.
'Ride bus 24. Okay...' She thought to herself inwardly. The violinist took out a blue 'Hello Kitty' pen from a mini backpack she carried with her and wrote down a check next to the first pair of letters written down in her planner.
'Get off at second stop...' The bus stopped. "Is this your stop?" A women asked beside her as Allison shifted to put one of her backpack straps on one of her shoulders and pick up her pair of skates. "Um..yeah." The raven haired lady smiled at her and got up to give Allison more room to get off from their seats to the aile of the bus. "Thanks."
Once she got off, Allison looked around at her surroundings. Sure, she knew Kai was rich.
But she didn't know he was *this* rich.
The whole entire neighborhood was surrounded with huge estates guarded by gates and well, guards. A limo sped by her, making her hair fly up like a tornadoe. "Damn it."
Allison patted her hair down again and looked down at her planner, again. "Go down the street until you find a tunnel..." She tiredly slammed her planner against her knee and looked around. "End of the street?" She asked herself. "Yeah...more like end of the world..." From a distance; she could make out a large mansion painted red. Well, at least she had a lead.
She couldn't see any tunnel, or yet the end of this street, from her view. With a sigh, she sat down on the burning hot sidewalk, her jeans stretching a little. In a second, Allison was able to put on her blades sloppily and took off to the opposite end of the street where she was. The street was way too quiet for her likings. Again, grabbed something out of her backpack. What, you ask? Her CD player.
Humming to herself (The song, Swing, Swing.), she ignored all the strange looks people that passed by gave her. Allison didn't know what was wrong with them, haven't they ever saw someone rollerblading?
When she finally did reach the end of the house's estate, the blue haired girl found herself looking at a huge stone-made wall with vines covering it. Two guards stood on each side of the large black gate the seperated her from the house behind the gate.
Stopping for a stop, she looked at the guards shyly. "Hi...er...um...I'm here for a school project? I'm Allison Granger, his..um..partner?" Allison asked timidly. The guards didn't spare her a glance. They remaind quiet, armed with a gun in hand.
"Um...hello?" She asked.
Silence.
"Helllooo.....?" Again, she asked. But this time she waved a hand in front of a guards face. In a instant, he grabbed her arm tightly so she couldn't move. "Oww! Let go!" Screamed Allison. "No one is to see Master Hiwatari unless they have made an official meeting with him." Grunted the guard that had a death grip on Allison's right arm. "Well...er...ow! Let go! I'm his stupid partner for this three week long project!" Allison was enraged. "Search her bag." Demanded the first guard, who still had a hold on Allison's arm. The second guard which had the exact outfit as the first took the senior's backpack from her hands.
"Argh! What the heck?! Give it back!" She struggled against the man's grip. "Theres a camera." The second guard croaked. The first guard gave Allison a dirty look. "Photographers. My all time least favorites." He sneered. From a point, the sneer reminded the violinist of Kai. "Get her out of here." The second guard nodded and obeyed his partner's command. With a push, he sent her out into the roadway. Loosing her balance, she fell bottom first on the ground. 'Damn it!'
They threw her bag at her the moment she made contact with the ground.
"OW!" Her camera hit her in the elbow. "If that camera's broken...I swear I'm gunna sue him." Allison muttered to herself. She glared at the two guards and walked away from their view.
Rubbing her red wrist, she cursed them under her breath. Who in the right mind would just assume she was a photographer?! Did it LOOK like she would really want any connection between the Hiwatari family? NO!
Allison began skating around lifelessly around the front of the estate lifelessly. She had to get in the house. She wasn't even sure when the next bus would arrive to get her back home! And thanks to a certain COUSIN, she had to get a new cellphone.
'Think...think! How the hell can I get into the freakin' house?!' The thought suddenly hit her. Out of the tiny neurons in her brain, the movie/words, "What a Girl Wants," popped up.
'Vines...Vines...Vines!' She saw the lime green vines that criss-crossed the stones that made the tunnel. The problem was....well, the guards were on the other side. They would certainly know when she landed because of the noise. With a sigh, the blue haired girl continued skating towards the edge of the house. The hill that sandwhiched the tunnel began growing taller and taller, giving Allison an idea.
"Of COURSE!" Yelled Allison, smacking herself in the head. She took her blades off and continued to put on her shoes. In a moment, she was racing up the hill.
The violinist's mouth dropped in awe. Kai didn't live in a house. He lived in...
...A PALACE.
It was...just not possible. The mansion alone took up more space than her dojo...times ten! His house...estate was probably bigger than the white house! From where she was looking, she could make out two other obsticals in her way. Another huge fence. And a really, really, really, really,
REALLY,
big maze made out of grass. Or bushes. Or whatever the hell the over grown weeds were named.
Allison put her hands numbly on the black spikes as she crouched on the other side of the wall. If she jumped now she would probably break a leg...
Literally.
A voice called, "Hey, YOU!"
With a scream, Allison lost her balance completely and let go of the spades that stuck out of the wall. ("OH MY GOD!")
The last thing she could see before she landed on the ground - feet first, luckly - was a man in his forty's running towards the main entrence of the Hiwatari Estate.
Her first feeling when she landed on her feet was wet. Watery wet. Soggy wet. Allison looked down to see her jeans soaked in knee-high water.
"I...am so lucky..." She sighed sarcasticly, rubbing the temple of her head wearily.
"There she is!" The farmiliar voice the guard that held her arm in custody rang in the air. "Oh gods...."
Allison pulled her left foot out of the water in a rush and raced towards the maze a couple of yards in front of her. When she entered the maze, she looked around franticly, running whichever way she thought was right.
'Damn, Kai!' Thought Allison. 'What is WRONG with your house?!'
A thin arrow with a sharp blade pierced her way. It stuck the jade green bush, which was an inch away from the blue haired girls face. Her eyes stared at the empty space in front of her lifelessly. That was. Way. Too. Close. If she was to make it out of this maze, she needs to start using those marial arts skills her grandfather taught her!
"You go that way!" She heard someone say. 'Crap!' With that, she took off running. Yet again.
The violinist kept on turning left and right, avoiding traces of sounds whenever heard. She tried running silently, although it was practicly impossible because of the traps that was set in the grass made maze. What kind of traps, you ask? Well...
~~
"This is so stupid!" Muttered Allison. 'If I see Kai..ooouuuu..-' "AH!" Metal bars sprung from the two sides of the maze and trapped her body. "Over here!" A guard yelled. 'Shit..'
Four five inched poles caged her body, two in the front and two in the back. Squeezing her way up, she mounted the poles like parallel bars. "There she is!" The guard with the brown mustache cried. He pointed at her accusingly. "Want me? Come and get me!" Allison stuck her tongue out at the guards as she leaped from pole to pole. She just had that sudden urge to say that to them.
~~
Allison came to a dead end and stopped running. Why didn't she think of it before?! She could've just passed through the bushes. It wasn't like they were trees or anything.
In a quick motion, she swung around and inserted both her hands into the surface of the bushes. One emotion shot through her mind as soon as she did so. Pain.
"OW!" Screamed Allison. Her hands flung out of the bushes fiercly as she saw a thin (and short) stream of blood flowing from her fingers. Quickly licking her fingers, she could hear footsteps hastily running her way. Allison bit her lip. The only way now to get away was, well.... out.
Sucking in a deep breath of air, Allison ducked her head through the bushes, a couple of thorns gliding past her blue hair now and then. She then dared to put her left foot into the thorny bush, and then her right. Thorns prickled her skin and skratched away the peach coloring of her arm, denting it with either white or red. "Ow ow ow ow ow!!!" She cried, lingering the last 'ow.' The prickly thorns practicly ripped her shirt, her stomach showed clearly through the roughly ripped edges. She clicked her tongue irratedly.
"Now look what he did! I liked this shirt, too!" Allison looked down at her hands. "Ugh! It looks likes someone beat me, too!" She whinned. Her arms were pinkish red, with thin marks dabbing her peach skin. Her whole entire look described her like she just got out of doing something...
...dirty.
~~~
"Tala, all your throws are shit!" Shouted Kai, chucking the brown football towards the ground. "Dude! I'm tired! How the hell am I suppose to keep up with you?" Tala cried. "Your like superman or something!" Kai snorted. A servent came running towards the two boys that were passing the football to one another. He seemed to be in a rush.
"Master Kai, it seems like someone has broken into your estate! The two security guards are out to chase her, and we've already called the rest to search for her. It seems like your mom wants you in the house quickly." The servant informed. A quick trace of panic raced through Kai's eyes, but disappeared as soon as it was shone. "A girl!?" He echoed. "Yes." "What does she look like?" Kai asked urgently.
"Er...I do believe that the guards described her with blue hair and um... er... some color hair-" "-Blue?" "Yes! Blue. They told me that shes heading west from the maze." Added one of Kai's many servants. Tala ran over. "Isn't that where your dad told the gaurds to set new lasers in?" He asked. Kai nodded grimly. "Do you think its her?" Kai nodded again. "Oh shit..." With that, the youngest of all Hiwatari's took off towards the direction the gigantic maze was set in. "Master!" The servant cried out. "Leave him. Hes goin' to be all right. Just tell him I gotta go." Said Tala. The servant nodded.
~~~
"Damnnn! Where the heck am I suppose to go now!?" Muttered Allison. She looked from side to side, quickly catching a glimpse of more people with uniforms identical to the two guards she encountered outside. She let out a distressed scream. "Where the hell are you, Hiwatari?!"
Running again, she raced further west from the maze, unknowingly that was where lasers were set.
Not soon later, she tripped. Although barely visable, Allison could make out a transparent piece of rope set three feet away from her landing position. A sudden 'Buzz' ran through the air and she swung her head around to see what it was.
And what did she do?
She froze.
Two thin, see-through red beam closed in on her from the west and east side. But Allison didn't see the beam that slowly lowered its height from above her. In a instant, she began scrambling to get up, but a sudden shove from a person flying out of no where stopped her.
The two people rolled on the ground, Allison letting go over her stuff that flung over to places about four meters away from her, couldn't stop. They rolled down the hill, Allison finally noticing that all that work she went through was only the first part of Kai's house, and stopped finally at the base of the hill. She knew instantly that the only other person who could've pushed her away *that* roughly from a beam that was about to kill her was none other than....
...her husband.
Both of their heads were still erect from their encounter, their hearts pounding rapidly. Allison could hear Kai's heart against her, and Kai vice versa. She let out a deep sigh and laid her head down on the grass. "I hate you."
Kai sighed, too. He laid his head on the only thing between him and the ground tiredly. That sprint from one side of the house to another was *very* tiring. Aparrently, it was her chest. He listened to her heartbeat wearily.
"I know."
~*~*~*~Tala's House~*~*~*~
Lorenza rang the doorbell of the pale blue house. "Comming!" A friendly, motherly voice shouted. The brunette could hear footsteps running to the front door. She could see a shadow belonging to a female not taller than herself fixing her hair. Not later, the door opened.
"Why, hello there! I'm Tala's mom, just call me Mary." Greeted a fourty year old women, grinning cheekily. Small wrinkles were shown just outside both her eyes as she laughed good heartidly. "You must be his partner. My, aren't you beautiful. C'mon in, Talas up in his room. Be a dear and wake him up for me? Suppers almost ready. I hope you'll find my dumplings good. Tally finds them very refreshing." Mary said quickly, not letting Lorenza get a word in. Lorenza snorted and choked back a laugh as she heard the name "Tally."
"Shua, I'll wake Tala up. By the way, my names Lorenza Montiero, nice ta meet you, Mrs. Siewartsen." She placed a hand out in front of her. Talas mom looked at Lorenza's outstretched arm. "Oh don't be silly, child! Your a part of the family now! Theres no need to call me Mrs. Siewartsen. I sound so old when people call me that." Explained Mary, tucking in a loose strand of red hair behind her ears. "Now do hurry up and wake up Tala, I would hate it if you tasted my dumplings cold." Rushed Mrs. Siewartsen. "Okay." "Its the first room to the left. I'm pretty sure you'll know which one it is." She smiled at Lorenza.
Taking off her sneakers, Lorenza climbed up the stairs quietly, but quickly, and looked around. For sure, she knew which room it was.
A cluster of stickers with names like, 'GET OUT' or 'YOU + ENTER = KILL' or 'Enter and Die.' Or skater company brands, and bands that Tala obviously liked (Ex: Sum*41, Linkin Park...). She turned the gold doornob that was barely shone with all the signs stuck onto the face of the door.
And what did she find?
The most unexpected thing ever.
Tala sleeping. Or even taking a nap. But most of all, sleeping. He was looking almost innocent, like an angel. Lorenza made a disgusted face inwardly. Him? An angel? ....No. But she had to admit, him sleeping was much more better than him terrorizing everything at school with his companion, Kai.
~
The red-head that was spawled out onto the messy bed without bedsheets covering him. He just got back home from Kai's house and snuck up the vines that helped him climb up to his room. He opened his eyes just as someone entered his room. Tala had a quick glance at the door way, finding Lorenza enter his room. With a quick motion, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He heard her shuffle around.
"This place is sucha dump... ew...whot is that smell!?" He heard her complain. Tala choked back a laugh. Again, he could imagine her body move around his room, moving everywhere. He could then see her shadow overtowering his 'sleeping' form.
"Get up." She ordered. He didn't budge. "Get up!" Lorenza sighed.
~
The silver eyed teenager sighed deeply and kneeled down in front of him. She put her hands on the bed in front of Tala. "Ya know...if ya weren't such an ass, ya would be pretty cute." She admitted. Lorenza took in a deep breath of air and placed both her hands on Tala's left arm, supporting his head. She shook it violently.
~
"Ya know...if ya weren't such an ass, ya would be pretty cute." He heard her say. In less than a second, he could feel her shaking his arm to get him to wake up. He really felt like grinning madly now. The possibilities in teasing her about this could be endless. He stirred, thinking that this moment could probably make the Oscars, and hugged Lorenza with his right arm. Her small body, compared to his, gave into his grip.
~
Lorenza turned so that her face would meet Tala's. Their noses were inches apart. "Ya really would..." She breathed. Tala couldn't hide his grin now. Lorenza could see it clearly. "Oh really?" The flamming red head asked, his eyes still not opening.
His partner's face turned red. In both anger and embarrasment. She raised her arm up.
And what did she do?
*SMACK!*
