~*~ Chapter Six: Towels are evil~*~

~*~

Melody fidgeted as she waited patiently for Kai to open up the door to his room. She knocked again and heard Kai's muffled up voice say, "Coming."

Kai opened the door only to find Melody standing there. Melody gulped as she saw Kai stand there, in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, (AN//: LOL, sorry couldn't help it.)

Though Melody felt quite uncomfortable Kai acted as if nothing was the matter. Trying not to look at Kai chest, which looked strong, and was rather muscley. She looked at the towel.

'Why are one of us always in a towel when we always meet.' She thought miserably. She was staring at the towel deciding something that she didn't see Kai shuffle uncomfortably. To him it looked like she was staring at his… Ahem…. Private place.

'That's it, I've decided, that towels are EVIL!' She thought going crazy with the silence. Finally breaking the silence Kai said, "Anything the matter?" Melody looked up at him, his hair was dripping wet. There were no blue face prints on his face, making him look rather cute. Melody turned away.

'Oh, nothing's the matter, except for the fact THAT YOU'RE WEARING NOTHING BUT A TOWEL IN FRONT OF A GIRL WHOSE RAGING TEENAGE HORMONES ARE DRIVING HER NUTS!' Melody thought angrily, but unfortunately she said the word towel out loud.

Realizing her mistake she blushed and turned around, only to see for the first time in her life, Kai Hiwatri shinning with embarrassment beat root red.

"Uh…. I think I'll be going now." Melody said slipping through the door but Kai had caught her wrist and turned her around.

"I've got to tell you something." He mumbled.

"What?" Melody asked.

Kai lowered himself towards her ear and whispered, "Towels are evil." He said whispering sending shivers down her spine. She blushed and headed to go.

Melody Malfoy was the first one there to breakfast. The waiters were still getting ready for the customers. She just came early just to avoid Kai. She couldn't understand, how did he always know what she was thinking?

But lucky wasn't with her today, because Kai was the next person to walk in of the entrance door. It looked like Kai had a feeling she would be doing this. But fortunate for her, Tyson and Ray were right behind him.  All three of them sat on the same table as Melody, since theirs and Melody's team tables were still joined from last night.

After a while the rest of the people came, and in about fifteen minutes the hall was filled with about a thousand people. Everyone wore their usual out fits instead of their team's dress codes.

"Hey Melody, pass the butter please." Said Emily who just walked in with Max and sat beside Melody. Melody made no move; it was as if she was in dreamland.

"Melody, Melody, MELODY!!" Harmonica screamed into her ear but still no movement from her. She didn't even blink or anything. Kai smirked; he knew just what to do.

"Yo Tyson, do you have an extra TOWEL?" Kai asked screaming the word towel. Tyson looked really confused, "Uh… no Kai, why?" he asked. "Oh nothing." He said smirking, as Melody jumped of her dreamland and was slightly shocked.

"Towels, where?" Melody asked with fear in her eyes. Everyone staring at her, even the waiters, and other teams. Not noticing them, she got pissed and screamed, "Towels, are evil I tell you." She walked out of the door, leaving a shocked group of people.

"They are?" Max asked,

"REALLY? I never knew that." Tyson said in a childish voice. Hillary rolled her eyes as Emily hit Max playfully on the head. Without making anybody notice Kai slipped out of the dining room with a plate full of stack of toast with butter, jam, and jelly spread on each different one, and a big glass of orange juice. (An//: Sorry all you Kai/Melody haters, but I couldn't help it. Next chapter I promise is full Ray/Mariah smut. Or Johnny/Mariah, don't know. Depends on the REVIEWS!!)

'Don't worry Melody, you're not going crazy, it's JUST teenage hormones, but he's so hot, hormones, hot, hormones, HE'S HOT! THIS IS HORMONES!' She kept reminding herself.

"Oh my god, I think I'm hallucinating." She mumbled. "THAT'S IT!" She roared in frustration, "I'll make a list." She got down a piece of paper and a pen and she wrote:

Kai     

Hot

Hormones

Hallucinating

She taped that piece of paper on the cabinet and recited it. "Kai, hot, hormones, I'm hallucinating. Kai, hot, hormones, I'm hallucinating. Kai, hot, hormones, I'm hallucinating. Kai, hot, hormones, I'm hallucinating."  She kept on repeating.

Suddenly there was a knock at her door. "Melody? Are you in a towel." The person asked from the other side. Melody slightly blushed. "Nno…" She stuttered nervously. That voice, it was Kai.

At the dinning room people were still eating breakfast. Emily was going to go to the washroom, when she bumped into someone.

"Oh so if it isn't the little traitor." Said a familiar voice. Emily looked up, there was her eighteen-year-old cousin met her. Michel Parker. Behind him were all of her old teammates. She suddenly became nervous.

"I heard that you were using OUR data to help you're new team mates." Michel said nastily. Emily suddenly felt weak. But then Max came behind her.

"Mom!" Max exclaimed, seeing Judy, Max ran to hug his mom.

"I'm so happy to see you." Judy exclaimed. "Me too mom, me too." He said. Max suddenly noticed Emily.

"I'm not a traitor." Emily mumbled. "Don't you dare lie to me." Michel roared. He put his hand up and was about to slap Emily, when someone caught his hand.

"Never hit a girl." Said the voice that had stopped Michel from slapping Emily, Michel looked up and saw once blue happy eyes were shinning with rage of anger.

Melody opened the door and saw Kai there with a plate of food. Melody raised her eyes. Kai slightly blushed, "Um… You didn't eat breakfast, so I thought you'd um… be, uh…. Hungry, ya, hungry." He said not sure of himself anymore. 

Melody blushed and took the plate form his hand, as she did their hands once again touched sending shivers down both of their spines. "Thanks." Melody muttered, but Kai's eyes were on her cabinet, where she had taped her list. 'Oh, no.' She thought. She took the nearest thing in front of her, which was a towel. She threw the towel at the cabinet, and it covered the list. 

"Aw…" Kai whined. "Towels are evil." He said with an evil smirk making Melody go beetroot red.  

"I better go," Kai muttered heading to go but not before going near her again and whispering to her, "I never knew you thought I was hot. And no you're not hallucinating and no its not hormones either. Its love…. Makes you go crazy, no?" He whispered again sending shivers down her spine. He went, leaving a VERY shocked Melody behind.

He had seen what was on the paper!
