DW: Chapter four I believe.

Irie: Wow.

DW: I honestly think that I am writing this story for myself cause no one is reading it. If I do not get at least 20 review, I am taking this story off f.f.net. That way, I will stop wasting your time and mine.

Irie: Are you in a bad mood.



DW: Not really, I'm just kinda sick. Anyhow, please enjoy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Do not panic. Do not panic. Do not panic. Tai just kissed me. Do not panic. It doesn't mean anything. Do not panic. I feel nothing for him. Do not panic. No one saw us. Do not panic. What if someone saw us?! DO NOT PANIC!! I take a deep breath and lay there in the sleeping bag, wishing everyone would wake up and start talking about gibberish so that I could take my mind off things. Do not panic. Why are my lungs hurting? Oh yes, I never let out the breath I took in. I let it out, not worrying about being quiet. No one wakes up. Why won't they wake up? It must be at least 9:00 o'clock in the morning by now. It must be. Oh...it's only 6:45 a.m. I glare at the ceiling in anger and frustration and...a few other emotions, but I'm not quite sure what they are. Why won't they wake up? Do not panic. I bury my face in my pillow and scream. I roll over. I find a baseball and throw it around over my head. I roll over. It must be at least 7:30. It's...6:52. It's been 7 minutes. OH.MY.GOSH. If one of them doesn't wake up soon I am going to have a nervous break-down. The silence in the room is allowing my mind to wander far too freely. Wake up...wake up...WAKE UP!!!

...

The time is now...8:06?! What?! When did I fall asleep? Oh well. I roll over and...they are still asleep. Ok, they are not allowed to be asleep anymore, it's like a rule. A sleep-over rule. Or, at least...I don't want them to be asleep anymore. Someone has to be awake.

"Hello?" I say tentatively. Silence. GAH!! WAKE UP!!!

"Hello?" I say, more loudly this time. Again, silence. This is insane. Someone must be awake.

"Hello?!" I say, mildly annoyed. This time, I am greeted my a quiet voice asking, "Who's that?"

"Sora," I say, "Who are you?"

"Lisa."

Ok, at least someone is awake. Thank heavens.

"How long have you been up?" She asks.

"Almost half an hour," I say, even though I have no idea how long I have been up, "Wanna get these lazy bones out of bed?"

"You have an idea?"

"Oh yeah."

...

We sneak into the bathroom and soak three towels in ice cold water. "Are you sure we can use these?" Lisa asks.

"Yeah, I basically live here. It'll be fine." I answer, while making sure the towel is thoroughly soaked.

"This is going to be so funny."

"Yeah, I wish we had a camera."

"I have one."

"Genius. We can take pictures of their reactions."

"Yep."

I glance over at Lisa as she concentrates on wetting the towels. There is something about her concentration that is unnatural.

"Lisa, are you alright?"

"What?" she says, looking up, "Oh yeah, I'm fine, just kind of tired."

"Are you sure?" She is wearing a look that I recognize. A look of a girl who has been hurt.

"Well, no, actually. My boyfriend and I got in this huge argument right before I came to the party. I found him with another girl, and things basically went downhill from there. We haven't been together long, but it still hurts. I tried to act like nothing had happened because I didn't want to ruin Kari's birthday. Oh gosh Sora, I'm sorry you had to hear all that."

I look at Lisa more closely and realize something. She looks and acts older than Kari. In fact, she could be someone...my age...

"Lisa, how old are you?"

"I'll be sixteen next month," she says with a refuel smile, "I know I look like I'm twelve, but..."

"No," I interrupt, still studying her, "You don't look younger, I guess I just assumed."

"No problem. And thanks for listening Sora."

"Hey, don't worry about it."

"Are we ready to soak these suckers?" She asks with a grin. I grin back and as we begin to make our way back to the room, I think about the fact that Lisa is a year younger than I was when I got my heart broken, and she is dealing with it far better than I did. I mean, she is here at a party, the day of and after she found her boyfriend with another girl. And she looks happy. She is one heck of an actress. I was still crying my eyes out five days after my break up with Matt. Maybe, I should be like Lisa and try to move on, maybe...

Lisa puts out her arm and stops me. I look down and see that I almost stepped on Kari's face. I hold back a snicker as Lisa fishes her camera out of her bag. She grins at me, and we begins our work. I stand between Kari and Yolei as Lisa positions herself over Alice. We look at each other and silently count...one...two...three...

We ring out the towels over the sleeping girls so that they are doused in ice cold water. I see the flash of Lisa's camera as the three girls on the ground shriek and sit up. We drop the towels on their heads and step back, laughing hysterically at their reactions. Yolei is gaping like a goldfish, Kari is shaking her head fiercely in an attempt to get rid of the water and Alice is rubbing her head and face with the wet towel Lisa dropped on her head. I don't think she has realized that the towel is soaked. Lisa is doubled over in laughter, and I'm no better.

"You...you should have seen your faces." Lisa chokes through her laughter.

"These pictures are going to be great candid shots." I say, while gasping for breath.

"Give me the camera!" Kari shouts.

"No way!" Lisa calls back. The three soaked girls stand up and glare at us. Lisa and I take one look at each other and run out of the room as fast as we can. The three other girls give chase, calling out threats. Lisa and I are laughing to hard to run fast, so we duck into the kitchen to try and catch our breath. As we stand there, we both notice something, but it is Lisa who says it.

"They aren't chasing us anymore."

"I know," I say, looking around, "That's not necessarily a good thing."

We both back up towards the door leading out to the pool area, and I put my hand on the chair that is beside me.

"Where do you think they are?"

"I have no clue, Lisa, but maybe we should go outside, just incase."

Lisa is turning to open the door, and I think we might be safe, but then Kari, Yolei and Alice run in carrying water guns.

"Pay back time!" They cry and advance with the water guns. Lisa opens the door and ducks outside. I follow after I grab the closest thing and hold it up in front of me. I realize that it is a sweatshirt. Just then, the three girls soak us with their water guns. Lisa is shrieking and I think I am too, I am too surprised to know.

...

The water assault is over, and I lay down in the sun between Kari and Lisa, still holding the now soaked sweatshirt in my hand. Kari grabs the sweatshirt from me and inspects it.

"This is Tai's." she announces for no reason.

"Really." I say in what I hope in a calm voice.

"Yeah, I recognize the Holday School logo."

"Tai goes to Holday?"

"Yep. That means we are all going to be in the same school this year." Kari says while pulling a face.

Maybe I should explain how our school's work, seeing as Kari is explaining it to the three other girls. So, in the beginning, we had two principals, Ms. Brenerd and Mr. Holday. They had all these plans to build the perfect school, but they couldn't agree on what the perfect school would be. Ms. Bernerd thought that uniforms were necessary and that students should have choice in their school life. Mr. Holday didn't agree with the uniforms and thought that in order for students to go far in life, school had to be very structured. The two principals argued for ages, until they decided to build two separate schools. Just to be spiteful, Mr, Holday built his school right across from Ms. Bernerd's. If you go out to the south field of Ms. Bernerd's school, you see the back of Mr. Holday's school. I go to the school that Ms, Bernerd originally built. It is called Bernerd's school, I have to wear a uniform, but I have a lot of choice in activities in order to make up for the lack of choice clothing wise. Kari also goes to my school. Anyhow, back to the story of the founders of the schools. So Mr. Holday and Ms. Bernerd had been rivals for a decade, when all of sudden they got married. In the past, this didn't affect the schools, but at the end of last year, Mr. Holday and Ms. Bernerd's grandchildren became owners of the two schools. They said that having two separate school was stupid, so they decided to unite them. It is going to take all summer and a lot of getting used to, but this September, Tai, Kari and I will start school at the new and improved Bernerd-Holday School. Understand? Basically, two schools became one, and this put Tai and I in the same school.

That means that in three weeks, which is 21 days, which is 504 hours, which is 30240 minutes, which is...well you get the point. In three weeks, Tai and I will be in the same school, and I will not be able to avoid him. Stupid Bernerd-Holday School. I mean, I don't like him or anything thing, but I think he actually took me seriously when I was pretending to flirt with him. That is the only explanation. Why else would he kiss me? In all fairness, he doesn't know that I have kind of sworn off guys, but still, if he thinks that I really do like him then it is best to avoid him for as long as possible. Which may be hard if we go to the same school. Now, I know what you are thinking. If they join two schools, there are going to be tons of people in this new school, so the odds of Tai and I running into each other are very slim. Wrong. Each of our schools only had about 400 students. That means this new school is only going to have 800 students, and the likelihood of Tai and I running into each other is freakishly high.

WHY WHY WHY?!?!?! Of all the schools, he has to go to Holday. I swear, someone is laughing very hard because all of this is happening to me. Someone it thoroughly enjoying themselves because I am totally stressed. Someone...

"What do you think, Sora?"

"Sorry?" I say, before I can come up with a more clever response. I know that this is like the fourth time I haven't been listening at this party.

"I was saying that it is going to be a total pain going to the same school as my brother."

"Yeah, I can see how that would be bad." Bad, for ME!! Me. Because Tai seems to think I like him, and if I have to see him everyday then...ahhhhhhhhh...

...

Breakfast is over, and I realize something. I have not seen Tai since our little...rendez-vous...on the balcony. This is a very good thing, but it is still making mer nervous. I mean, what if he is telling people what happened. Oh my gosh! I bet he is telling people!! NO!! Ok, I need to calm down. Calm down Sora, calm, calm calm. AHHH!!! Ok, that was not calm. I need to go home. Here, the chance that I will see Tai are too big. I mean, he does live here, so he has to come back eventually. And I most definitely do not want to be here when that happens. What if tries to kiss me again?! Oh god, I have to leave.

"Kari, I hate to do this, but I just remembered that I have...uh...soccer practice soon, and I really have to get going."

"Awww...so soon?"

"Yeah, sorry Kari." Oh man, she is giving me the puppy dog eyes. I feel so guilty. STOP LOOKING AT ME THAT WAY!! It is not my fault that your brother likes me. Stop it!!

...

I am packed and I hug everyone. They have disappeared into the den to watch movies. I open the door and walk out...directly into Tai. I stagger backwards and gape at the exact person I am trying to avoid. He is holding a bag of groceries in one hand and a soccer ball in the other. He is opening his mouth to say something. No way in hell!! I am not up to listening to him talk. No no no. I walk quickly around him and continue towards my house without looking back once. Ok, so I do look back, just to see if he is following me or something. He isn't. He is just standing there in front of his house. What is his problem. If he likes me he picked the wrong girl, cause I can't and don't like him back. It just bites that I have to see him at school in three weeks, which is 21 days, which is...
