Two hearts, one love.
Chapter 6: Pinky promise?
Crystal's POV
Pushing my way through the crowd, I made my way towards Rei's locker. Better to get this over and done with I told myself. I only hoped that I wouldn't hurt him so much. Better be gentle, I reminded myself as I approached Rei.
"Hey baby" he said when he saw me.
"Hey Rei" I replied back, forcing myself to smile.
"Umm, Rei, could I please talk to you?" I said, wondering if he could tell what was coming.
"Yeah sure, what about?" he asked as he shut his locker.
"Ermm, us" I said, almost faltering. Rei frowned and gestured for me to follow him. He led me to an empty classroom.
"Are you-" he hesitated. "Breaking-up with me?"
"Yes" I said firmly. "I'm sorry Rei, but I don't think that I can possibly return the feelings that you have for me."
"It's okay" he said sighing softly. "You know it's funny, out of all the girls I've dated you're the first that has broken up with me" he laughed quietly.
"But we'll still be friends, right?" I asked him.
"Of course. Did you know that you're very good at letting a guy down gently?" he suddenly told me.
"Really?" I replied in surprise. "Is that a good or bad thing?"
"It's a good thing I suppose" he said after a moment. "Have you broken up with many guys before?"
How should I answer that? I wondered.
"Only a few" I responded.
"Well that's not surprising. You're a very beautiful girl Crystal, with a sweet personality, it'd be no wonder that you've had a few boyfriends" Rei said sincerely.
"Thanks Rei" I replied blushing slightly.
"Why don't we go find the others and have lunch now?" Rei suggested.
"Yeah, okay" I said, realising just how hungry I was.
Inside I was relieved that Rei had taken the break-up very well. Now it was only a matter of getting Rei to realize his feelings for Mariah..
Kai's POV
I was fumbling with my lock when I was suddenly hugged from behind. Gee, I wonder who in the world it could be, a little sarcastic voice in my head said.
"Let go of me" I demanded.
"Why are you always so grouchy?" Crystal said obliging.
"Because you're around" I grumbled and went back to attempting to open my locker.
Slim fingers snaked around my hands and snatched the lock out of it. They twirled it with a click and it opened.
After I finished getting my books and slung my bag over my shoulders, Crystal was still standing there.
"What?" I muttered.
"Do I have to have a reason for waiting for you Kai-kun?" she replied sweetly.
"Yes. With you, there's always a reason for everything" I retorted and began to walk out of the school.
Unfortunately, Crystal chose to follow.
"Well don't forget who helped you out with the whole Melissa fiasco" she reminded me.
Great, now she thinks I owe her a favor or something.
"Well. Out with it already" I snapped scowling.
"Okay, now that you mention it, I do in fact have teeny insy favor to ask of you" she finally admitted.
"No" I said flatly as we reached the car park.
"Oh pretty please Kai-kun? At least hear me out" she pleaded.
"No" I repeated. When we reached my car, I car I opened the car doors and sat inside.
To my annoyance, Crystal sat in the passenger seat.
"Get out" I stated irritably.
"Make me" she said childishly.
"Fine I will" I said and made a move to push her out of the car.
She blinked at me once saying, "You shouldn't push girls"
I scowled. Damn, she had me there.
"Get out now before I really lose it Crystal" I warned her.
"No. Not until you hear me out" she said, sticking my tongue out at me.
"You are so immature" I told her, then finally sighed in defeat. "Okay, fine. You have one minute"
"Thanks Kai-kun" Crystal said before beginning. "Okay, I need you to help me get Rei and Mariah together"
"But aren't you with Rei?" I asked.
"Well, I broke up with him at lunch today." She confessed.
"Well then what do you want me to do about it?" I said impatiently.
"Talk to Rei?" she responded hopefully.
"Will you get out of my car if I said I would?" I answered.
"No. I'd get out if you promise you would" she said.
"Fine. I promise to talk to Rei about Mariah. Although, everybody but him knows that Mariah has liked him since yr.7" I said and looked at her questionably when she stuck her pinky out.
"Pinky swear?" she asked looking at me straight in the eye.
"Are you serious? We're in yr.12 in case you haven't realized, not in primary school" I said scowling.
"Please Kai-kun?" she looked at me with puppy dog eyes.
I reluctantly took her pinky in mine, gave it a quick shake and let go.
"Thanks Kai-kun!" she said happily. "I'll come up with a plan over the weekend"
"Just get out my car please" I said rolling my eyes.
Sorry about this chapter being so short. I was actually going to have Crystal start the plan about getting Rei and Mariah together but decided to start that after the formal function.
