Two hearts, one love
Chapter 32: Fooling around
Crystal/Akina's POV
"Uhh, Crystal? Do you know Adam?" Tala asked me when we sat down at lunch on the stone steps in front of the school.
"Huh? Oh yeah I do" I said looking up from my lunch.
"How?" Mariah impatiently asked.
"From Hong Kong" I answered.
"What did you two go to school together?" Rei pressed her.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Oh, well what are the chances that his school sends him on an exchange to our school?" Kai remarked.
"Quite good in fact since I was the one who suggested the exchange" Adam spoke up from behind us.
"Does he have to do that?" Kai grumbled.
"So Mei-Lin, are you going to intro me to your friends or what?" he probed me.
"Okay, okay" I said rolling my eyes and gesturing to the rest of them. "This is Tala, Rei, Mariah and Kai"
"Nice to meet you all" he said lazily and sat down next to me. "What have you been up to since I saw you last?"
"Oh not much. What about yourself?" I answered politely.
"Things haven't really changed much since you left" he said dismissively. "The soccer team's been doing well, although not as well as they used to do when you were captain"
"You were captain of the soccer team?" Kai asked me.
"Yeah I was" I said lightly. "Hang on, I'll be right back. I left my chupa chup in my locker"
Kai's POV
Adam turned his head to watch Crystal's retreating figure.
"So you know Crystal from school in Hong Kong?" Mariah inquired.
"Yeah, you could say that" he replied with a smirk.
"Or you could say what?" I responded.
"Well, we actually went out for a while just before she left you know" he said smugly. "I see she has become even hotter since then."
"So you guys went out? That's funny, Crystal never mentioned anything about you" Rei spoke up.
"Yeah, well knowing her, she probably wouldn't unless you asked her" Adam said.
Crystal/Akina's POV
"Hey Mei-Lin! Wait up" Adam called out at the end of the day as he jogged towards me in car park.
"Hey" I said when he caught up.
"So, you go by Crystal now?" he asked me.
"Yeah" I answered before remembering, "Or sometimes I go by Akina"
"But I see that you haven't changed much" he remarked and I shrugged at that. "So, have you given any thought about us since you left?"
I wasn't surprised at his comment. Adam had always been a pretty blunt guy, always getting straight to the point.
"Not particularly" I answered.
"Oh. Well then I don't suppose you'd want to pick up where we left off then?" Adam asked with a wink.
I regarded him for a moment. As far as I could tell, Adam hadn't changed since I had last seen him. And it was nice to see a familiar face from Hong Kong.
"We'll see" I finally answered him when we reached my car.
"Well think about it okay?" he responded before going off in the other direction.
The wind whipped through my car as I wove through the cars. Should I go out with Adam again or not? The reason why I had broken it off with him in the first place was because of my move to Tokyo. So why not go out with him again? We had shared many good times together and been through a lot.
"So, have you thought it over yet?" Adam approached me the next day at school.
"Yes" I said slowly opening up my locker. Like I was going to make it easy for him.
"And?" he asked hopefully. Nope, he hadn't changed a bit. He was still like a little kid when we were together.
"Yes" I answered.
"Yes?" he said in confusion.
"Yes" I said laughing. "Yes I'll go out with you again"
"Yes!" he said triumphantly. "She said yes, she said yes!" he sang as he walked towards homeroom.
Shaking my head at his childishness, I followed him down the corridor to homeroom.
Kai's POV
"She said yes, she said yes!" Adam called out when he walked into homeroom.
"What the hell?" I muttered to Tala.
"Don't ask me. I haven't got a clue" Tala replied.
"She said yes" Adam finished sitting down next to me.
I scowled. I so didn't like this guy.
"Who said yes?" Tala finally asked.
"Mei-Lin" Adam supplied.
"Yes to what?" Rei asked joining us with Mariah.
"To me" he said.
Gee, like I hadn't figured that out.
"To what, not who" I snapped in irritation.
"Oh" Adam said in understanding. "I asked her out and she said yes. To me!"
Would somebody please shut him up? Why the hell would Crystal go out with a guy like him?
As the last bell for the day sounded throughout the school, students rushed out in streams as I wandered the halls. Why was I wandering the halls? Because of my stupid father. He was coming home tonight thus; there would be another 'family dinner.' Oh yeah, I just couldn't wait.
Turning down a hallway, I decided to go to the library and get some homework done before going home. As I turned the corner, I spotted a very familiar Honki boy.
A very familiar Honki boy whose hands were extremely busy with a girl.
Oh god, did they have to do this here? In the corridors at school, which was a public place? I would've thought that Crystal had more class than that. I paused at the corner as something hit me.
That girl wasn't Crystal.
Now that I looked more closely, I could tell that this girl was definitely not Crystal. Although this girl was about the same height as her and her hair was black but the color of her hair had no natural shine like Crystal's. The girl had dyed her hair black and at the top, she had blonde roots. She wasn't as slim as Crystal either and had a bit of puppy fat at the hips.
But the issue here was that Adam, who was going out with Crystal, was fooling around with another girl. My eyes narrowed as I glared at them before turning around again. That dirty ratbag. Of all people he was cheating on, he cheated on Crystal. And the girl he was fooling around with wasn't even half as pretty as she was. No, Adam probably hadn't gone for looks, he just wanted cheap thrills. He was so stupid that he was cheating on her at school, in plain sight for anybody to see. What a dickhead. Crystal would be so pissed off when she found out. And she was going to find out.
Crystal/Akina's POV
"Hiragazaki-sama" a voice called out and a poked my head out through my studio door.
"Yes?" I answered.
"There's somebody at the door for you" it replied.
As I walked down the stairs, I wondered who it could be. Probably Mariah wanting to go shopping I reasoned.
You can imagine what a surprise I got when I caught sight of Kai sitting on the lounge.
"Kai" I said in surprise. "Of all people, I didn't expect you to be here"
"Yeah, well things happen which are unexpected" he commented.
I frowned in confusion. What was that remark about?
"I suppose you want to know why I'm here?" he said.
"I don't mind you showing up here" I said shrugging.
"Well, just so that you know, this isn't just a social visit" he muttered shoving his hands into his pocket.
"Really?" I asked sitting down next to him on the couch. "Okay then, why are you here?"
"I saw something today that you might like to know about" he answered slowly.
"What did you see today?" I questioned.
"I saw-" he said and paused before continuing. "I saw Adam fooling around with another girl after school today"
"What?" I asked vaguely confused. "Adam?"
"Yes Adam" Kai confirmed.
"Kai, you must've been mistaken. Adam would never do anything like that to me" I said.
"Akina, I saw him with my own two eyes. He was cheating on you" Kai insisted.
"No" I said. "I know Adam. He wouldn't cheat"
"Listen to me!" Kai snapped. "He would cheat and he did"
"I'm sorry Kai, but I don't think Adam would do something like that" I said quietly.
"Akina" he began.
"No Kai, please. You must've been mistaken" I said. "Anyway, why are you telling me this? If I recall correctly, you said weren't friends, remember?"
"Fine. If you don't want to believe me, then don't." Kai stated before standing up and leaving.
"No, it's not true. Adam wouldn't do that to me" I said to myself.
*Sigh* Yeah, I know it's not as good as I thought it'd be but I suppose it'll have to do. Please don't forget to review. Sorry if this chapter is short and kinda rushed but the next chapter will be a bit longer and hopefully not as bad.
