Chapter 3

Kari walked to school with a knot in her gut. She even caught herself gasping a little on the way. When she got there, all eyes were on her.

"Oh great"she thought bitterly.

Just then, Ken arrived and stood next to her.

Kari's adreniline was rushing. Was this a dream? Ken was standing there, close enough to hug her.

although he didn't look at her once, she felt as though perhaps Ken didn't stand there by coincidence, and that maybe he was there for her.

She felt the urge to talk rising, but seemed to hold herself back. Her reputation didn't make her seem like someone to be haning around with.

"Hey Kari"said T.K walking up to her.

Ken lowered his head and walked away, as though he were ashamed of himself.

"Great job T.K"thought Kari bitterly.

"Listen Kari, I'm really sorry about leaving you in the hospital that day, I really am. I just felt nervous for some reason, ya know? Please Kari, I just wanna be your friend"said T.K.

"Why don't you bother your loser friend Davis"said Kari coldly.

"What's your deal? In case you didn't notice I'm pretty much the only one who wants to be your friend around here besides Davis, who you also scowled at I heared"said T.K.

"What do you know! Just back off!"said Kari stomping away.

Seeing Kari's angry expression, Davis decided to say nothing, however ran up to Ken when he noticed him.

"Hey Ken, it's me Davis. From yesterday?"said Davis.

Ken turned his head towards Davis with a cold expression.

"Oh, hello Davis. How are you feeling today?"asked Ken in a tone more polite then his face would express.

"I'm fine, what about you?"asked Davis.

"Great"lied Ken.

"So, what kind of stuff you into? I'm into Sports and Videogames, and I don't like school at all"said Davis.

"Movies"lied Ken.

"A movie man huh? Gonna be an actor, or maybe a director?"asked Davis.

Before Ken would have the chance to awnser, the bell rang and everyone dashed inside.

"Well see ya around Ken. Hey, maybe we could meet out here after school? See ya"said Davis running off.

"He seems nice enough"thought Ken.

"Don't forget Ken, you're nothing but a threat"he thought to himself again.

*****************************************************

As expected, Kari got an F, and the whole class laughed at her for her pitiful performance, except for Ken who did nothing. He never said anything about having to read it all?

Her Home ech brownie made the teacher gag, her scince homework was D worthy, and now she had to run the physical phitness test.

As usual, the other girls avoided her as she changed into her gym clothes. It was better then getting picked on she supposed.

There wasn't nearly enough time for them to run one at a time, so they would have to run all at the same time.

"No! Man, I better not pass out"thought Kari.

Kari started off at half speed, the other girls were smart enough not to give it there all from the start either. SHe was just behind everyone else for the first 2 times around. However, halfway through the third time she could feel herself losing focus, and her head feeling woozy.

She shook her head and with a growl of anger, pushed herself further. She passed most of the girls except for one.

Kari felt herself tiuring around halfway through the 5th time, however towards the end she managed to recollect some energy and dashed off ahead. Her vision was becoming blurry, so she shook her head.

She tripped, but got up and quickly ran. She felt herself getting dizzy, so closed her eyes as she almost made it.

"STOP!"yelled the gym teacher.

Kari opened her eyes, she was the first one there.

"Hey, nice work there kid. With that speed, you're elligable to join any kind of varsity team, except for Football of course"

It was rare any 7th or 8th graders ever joined varsity teams, they had to get some real good times.

Everyone else eventualy made it, and were obviously bitter over Kari managing to beat them all.

In the locker room, Kari went to the toilet and puked her heart out(no, not literaly for any of you gorehounds)

After finishing Kari stared into the toilet for a couple more seconds to see if any more was to come, but she was done. So she flushed the toilet and walked out to her next class.

"Awesome!"she thought to herself with pride.

********************************************************

Ken spent his study hall period drawing a 13 year old girl(dressed) bound and gagged, with a girl of equal age standing above her taunting her. He made sure that no one took notice.

He could feel the adreiniline rush as he kept drawing, drawing to perfection.

When the bell rang, he stuffed his picture in his binder before leaving. Not even his own parents knew of his love for bondage, and he was going to see to it NO one found out.

"Maybe I should take up a career in movies like Davis said. It would be safer to dwell into my desires then the way I did with "her"he thought, not wanting to say her name.

The rest of the classes were a pice of cake, and he walked out of school, the only one not filled with joy to be released.

"Hey, Ken!"

Ken turned around and saw Davis run up to him.

"Hey there, what's up?"he asked.

"Nothing special"said Ken.

"Oh. Hey, how did you do on that physical phitness test"said Davis.

"16 minutes"said Ken.

"I got 14:30. You aren't too bad, maybe you should try out for soccer like me"said Davis.

"Sorry, I'm not really much of an athlete"said Ken.

"You don't have to be buff for soccer, you just gottab be fast. But hey, do what you want. Wanna walk home together?"asked Davis.

"Hey Davis, wait for me!"said T.K running up to them.

"Hey T.K, meet Ken. We met yesterday. Ken, this is T.K"

"I saw you this morning. I hope I didn't scare you off"said T.K.

"Not at all, I just figured you would want to be alone with Kari"said Ken.

"How do you know her name?"asked T.K.

"She's in my math class. I hope you don't take this offensively, but I kinda feel sorry for her. Everyone in my math class seems to be quite cruel to her"said Ken.

"Didn't you hear? Kari was convicted of murder, and not to mention threatening to shoot people"said Davis.

"Davis, he dosen't need to know that!"said T.K.

"Oh, sorry"said Davis.

"Perhaps a bad homelife, that's what drives most kids to such drastic things"said Ken.

"So, what are your hobbies Ken?"asked T.K feeling the need to change the subject.

"Movies"Ken lied again.

"Neat"said T.K.

"There's my house now, I better get going"said Ken.

****************************************************

"Excuse me, you're Kari Kamiya, aren't you?"asked a man.

He was young, about his early twenties with smooth black hair and with Grey shorts and Tanktop, as well as Black sneakers and White socks.

"Yeah"said Kari nodding.

"I'm Coach Beverly, I heared about your running time in gym. I was wondering if you would like to try out for our varsity team"said Coach Beverly.

"I'd love too!"said Kari.

"Good, tyrouts are tomorror at 3:30, you don't need to bring anything except maybe a water bottle"he said.

"I'll be there, thank you"said Kari.

He nodded before walking off.

Kari was on cloud nine, she was gonna get the chance to prove herself.

*************************************************

"Awesome!"said Tai when Kari told them all the news.

"Great job!"said her uncle.

"I couldn't be more pleased!"said her aunt.

Kari couldn't hold back the blush she had.

****************************************************

After finishing his homework, Ken tried to get back to the picture he started in study hall, but he ended up throwing it away. He hadn't been able to even look up bondage sites on the internet since the day he lost Mavina. He couldn't even finish a drawing anymore.

"Mavina, I need you"sobbed Ken to himself.

His parents were out working most of the time, so he had much time to himself.

"Why do you torture me like this? Haven't I proven my love to you? I love you, yet hate you for doing this to me. Then again, it's all my fault"said Ken.

Ken went to his desk and took out his cutting knife. He staggered though the house, cutting his arm as he staggered out into the night.

He tore his shirt off and fell to his knees, shoving the dagger into his arm.

"Hell has to be better then this"thought Ken.

he took the dagger out and slit a wrist slightly, but not enough. However, it was enough to make him nearly pass out.

A van parked at the side of the road, and out came someone Ken reconized.

"Davis?"

"What are you doing, AW! Did you do that!"gasped Davis as he saw the makrs on his body.

Ken said nothing.

"Where are your parents?"asked Davis.

"Working"said Ken, feeling himself faint.

Davis saw his wrist was slit.

"Mom, Dad, we need to get him to a hospital!"said Davis as his sister stepped out.

"Oh my God! But Davis, we won't get to the hospital fast enough!"said Jun.

Knowing his siter was probaly right, he took a shoe and a sock off. He wrapped the sock tightly around Ken's wrist.

"It's okay Ken, we'll take care of you"said Davis.

"Get him in the Van, fast!"said Jun.

Davis lifted Ken up, barely, and layed him out in the backseat.

"What are we gonna tell mom and dad?"asked Davis.

Luckily Jun was driving for the moment without mom or dad there, however when they got home it would be a diffrent story.

"they're going to be pissed we got blood all over his new van seat"thought Davis.

"They'll never let me drive again"thought Jun as Davis sat in the front seat now, with Ken occupying the back.

*********************************************************

"She won't pick up"said T.K haning up the phone.

"Girl trouble huh T.K? I was your age when that happened to me"said his brother Matt just outside his room.

"matt, get out of here!"said T.K chucking a pillow at him.

"allright, tiger"said Matt before leaving.

"Kari, why can't we be friends?"thought T.K.
