Two hearts, one love
Chapter 14: Just curious
Kai's POV
I sighed inwardly as Crystal approached me in the parking lot before school the next day. What did she want now? I thought as she came up.
"Hey Kai-kun" she said smiling at me, swinging her backpack onto her shoulders.
"How can you be so cheerful in the morning?" I grumbled.
"Breakfast. I had crepes with chocolate sauce and strawberries and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows." She replied brightly, pushing the school's entrance doors open. "So, have you asked Rei yet?"
"Ask Rei about what?" I said deliberately playing dumb.
"Kai! I just reminded you the other day! Don't tell me you've forgotten already! You promised!" she cried out, catching the attention of several students standing nearby.
"Shut up" I snapped. "I have not forgotten. You just assumed I did"
"Oh" she said and went quiet for a moment. "Well then, will you pretty please ask him today?"
"Yeah, yeah" I muttered when we reached our lockers.
Later that day......
"Have you done the English homework Kai?" Tala asked me after bell for lunch went.
"Yeah" I replied and suddenly remembered the stupid promise I made to Crystal.
"Hey Rei, how's it going with you and Mariah?" Tala asked nudging him.
Thanks for the perfect opening Tala, I thought in my head and turned around to face Rei, waiting for his answer.
"Well, ermmm...." Rei mumbled.
"Out with it Rei" I prodded him.
"It's okay" he replied.
"What do you mean okay?" Tala asked before I could.
"Don't you know the meaning of okay?" Rei retorted.
Tala rolled his eyes at him in response.
"Anyway, things between us are cool. We're just friends going through with a dare. It's as simple as that" Rei continued.
I smirked. Was Rei clueless or what? Mariah had been head-over-heels in love with him since freaking yr.7. Only he was too dense not to notice that. If only he knew.....
"So what do you think of Mariah?" I asked.
"Huh?" Rei said looking confused.
"I meant," I said with a sigh, "What do you think of her as a person in general?"
"Oh" Rei replied understanding. "She's a cool girl. Nice, pretty, smart. Why do you ask?"
"No particular reason." I responded. "Just curious"
Akina/Crystal's POV
"Kai-kun!" I called out across the corridor.
"Can you not call me that?" he grumbled as he walked over, his hands shoved deep in his pockets.
"Let's not go over this again Kai-kun" I replied. "So, have you asked Rei?"
"Yeah" he responded and shoved his books into his locker after I had opened it.
"And?" I questioned raising an eyebrow.
"He said that things between them were cool, that they're just friends going a dare." He answered promptly.
"Is that all?" I said disappointed.
"No" he said. "Rei also said that Mariah was nice, pretty and smart when I asked him what he thought of her in general"
"Really?" I said thoughtfully. "I'll need to find out what Mariah thinks of Rei then. Although I get the general idea that she's in love with him, I need some specifics."
"Crystal? What exactly do you plan on doing with this information?" Kai asked suspiciously.
"Get Rei and Mariah together of course! Didn't I tell you before? Don't you think they would make a great couple?" I suggested.
"Right." Kai muttered.
"I'm so glad that you agree Kai-kun" I said lightly and skipped towards the exit. "Well, are you walking me to the car park or not?"
Thanks to those who reviewed. Sorry about the short chapter. I'm still figuring about what Crystal and Kai should do to get Rei and Mariah together. Tell me if you got any ideas at all. I plan on having something interesting coming up. Don't forget to review. Bubaiz for now! *waves*
