Mad About You
Chapter 6: The Play
AN: YAY! Mayuka got the chapter out! Let's all clap for her! *crowd cheers* WOO-HOO! Some of you had questions, so I'll respond now.
Kita: Well you don't have to be so rude about it! But thanks for reviewing, I guess.
OK: What a lovely name. Your question will be answered in this chapter. I promise.
Leng: I'll try to make it funnier. But this isn't a humor fic as much as it is action/adventure.
And thanks to everyone else who offered praise! I love praise as much as I like questions!!!! Keep it up.
I think Kai might be just a TAD OOC in this chapter, but not too much, because he's obviously falling in love, and that's not the usual Kai. *makes googly eyes* Kai's in love!!! Anyway. here we go. And now, Mayuka625 presents. *drumroll* CHAPTER 6!!!!!!!

"You're not perfect. Not at all," Kai voiced aloud. Ayame looked disturbed, but nodded, though Kai couldn't see her anyway.
She walked up behind Kai and spoke to his back.
"Yeah, I guess not."
Kai assumed she was dressed already, because she was so close to him, so he turned around.
"Kai, do you think I can sing?" Ayame asked suddenly.
"I've never heard you sing. Not really sing. Why?"
"I was trying out for the lead in the play. It's next month."
"Oh."
Silence. Kai spoke first.
"Now what?"
"I forgive you, Kai. And if you forgive me for bothering you so much, can we just go to school now?" Kai nodded and followed Ayame out of her bedroom door.
"So that man that opened the door for me was your..?" Kai asked.
"My uncle. And guardian. He's been a good help ever since my dad died."
It was silent the entire way to school.
Kai stared straight ahead the entire time, but he did notice it when Ayame stole occasional glances at him. It wasn't annoying though, because he knew that she was fine with him again. That was all that mattered to him right now.
He was friends with her.
Yeah right.
But definitely not Max, Rei, Tyson, and Kenny.

Kai tried to open his locker again today, though he knew it was inevitable.
To make a long story short -
It worked.
Kai thought it had just been a fluke, so he shut it and tried again. It opened.
"Damnit!" Kai yelled.
Ayame noticed the weird look on his face.
"What? You finally opened your locker and you're upset?"
Kai didn't respond. Now he had no excuse to talk to Ayame between classes. Why didn't it just work from the start and he wouldn't ever met her!?
Kai didn't have any idea why it bothered him anyway, because Ayame was just a friend, and barely one at that. It was just something about her.
"Kai?"
"It's nothing."
*
First period was a nightmare.
As usual.
But today was worst.
"Hey Kai! Did you hear Ayame was trying out for the lead in the play?" Tatsuhiko, the boy who had picked a fight with him in art, was strutting over with a piece of paper. Kai had just arrived in the locker room.
"She told me. But not the lead."
"Yes, the lead." Sure Ayame had told Kai she was auditioning, but the lead? He was almost impressed.
"What makes you think I care?"
"I don't. I just thought you should know that I'm trying out for the other lead part. It's a romance. Are you jealous yet?" Tatsuhiko grinned. He was rather handsome, what with his brown hair falling in his face, and his jade- green eyes. Kai didn't dare show his jealousy.
"Yeah right. Like I care," Kai said, shutting his eyes and folding his arms. He leaned against the lockers. "Is that all?" Tatsuhiko looked as if he was going to kill Kai, but he regained his sanity quickly.
"Suit yourself. But I've seen the way you look at her. You may not be able to hide it when I'm up there kissing her."
"And I also won't be able to hold in my laughter when she throws up all over you. You know she isn't the romantic type, and she'll get all nervous and twitchy. Not that she isn't that way now." Kai smirked.
"You'll make a fool of yourself. I can only imagine the uproar in the audience when you sing. You'll be a laughing-stock." Tatsuhiko's whole body shook with anger, and he slammed Kai against the lockers. He held him by the neck loosely, but Kai was still smiling.
"FYI, Kai, my part doesn't have any singing. Sorry to disappoint you." Tatsuhiko grunted, and let Kai go. "Fuck off." He called as he walked off.
"FYI, Tatsuhiko!" Kai mocked him. "You can have Ayame! I'm not interested!"
It was the biggest lie Kai had ever told.
He was very interested in Ayame, but he wouldn't admit to himself, let alone Tatsuhiko.
Love was weak.
So maybe if he kept saying that it wasn't true, it wouldn't be.
AN: AHH! I liked this chapter, but it's sooo short! I guess I'm just tired of typing. Review, and maybe I'll add more soon, like tomorrow!
