Love or Hate?

"Wow" I stared in awe at the room infront of me. It was awesome! There was wood flooring with the walls painted a light blue but there was one feature wall painted a royal blue with a silver sponging effect applied. There was a massive television with a PS2, DVD, VCR, GC and huge speakers hooked up to it. There was also a wicked stereo system hooked up. They had a fridge in the corner, which I suspected was filled with beer and a computer hooked up to the net right next to it. There were numerous seating arrangements such as couches, chairs and for some strange reason a huge king size bed. Ozuma saw me looking strangely at the bed so he gave an explanation " Well you know how a lot of the guys sleep around quite a bit? Yeah well they can't exactly take the girls home so they bring them here." After his short explanation I understood fully and was a bit reluctant about going near the bed. Instead I plonked myself on one of the couches in front of the T.V. I grabbed the remote and started flicking through the channels. Ozuma came and sat next to me so I lent most of my weight on him. Meanwhile Enni, Max and Robert were on the computer and Rei and Mariah where on the bed making out. Kai was on a chair watching 'That 70's show'

*************************

The evening went quite peacefully and we ended up getting pizza for dinner. At about 8:30 we heard a knock at the door and Kai raced to the door. He opened it to reveal a tall girl with blonde hair. She gave him a seductive smile then was all over him. Rei and Mariah got off the bed just in time as the girl pushed Kai onto it. He looked at the rest of us then said " Um guys can we please have some privacy?" Enni gave a loud sigh then shooed us all out of the building. As he led us out I sneaked one last look at Kai and the girl to see her sitting on him without her shirt and was kissing him feverishly. When I got outside and made my way over to Enni's car but was surprised to see all of the others were just waiting outside. I turned around then walked up to them saying, " What are you doing? Of my god are all of you spying? Eww that's just sick!"

 " No, no god no Tani. We would never do that!" said Tala with a disgusted look on his face.

 "Then what are you doing? Aren't we going home now?"

 " Nope. The nights still young and plus he won't take long." With Tala's last statement you could hear moans coming from inside the building. Suddenly you could hear the girl yelling

" Scream my name Kai. I want to hear you say it" Ozuma and Tala let out a little snigger.

Tala tried to suppress a laugh as he commented " Oh no, he's screwed now. Or should I say not screwed" There was silence from inside the building. Tala couldn't help but laugh as Enni tried to whisper through the door " It's Wendy. Kai god damn it, her names Wendy" A moment later the blonde came out with her shirt unbuttoned and a scowl plastered on her face. After her came Kai in his boxers yelling " Cindy, Cindy look I know your name."

Enni whispered to Kai " Actually her names Wendy"

" Wendy, Wendy I'm so sorry"

I laughed as I walked past him and back into the building saying " Aw poor Kai isn't going to get any tonight" in a fake sympathetic voice. He scowled but continued to try to reason with the girl.

We entered into the room and continued to do what we were previously doing. I went to sit down but clothes were all over the place. I picked up Kai's black shirt and jeans trying to hold it as far away as possible and walked outside. I saw the blonde slap Kai then get into a car and drive off. I couldn't hide my snigger quick enough. He turned and glared at me. " What?" I said innocently " I just came out to give you your shirt and jeans" I motioned toward the shirt and jeans for proof. He grabbed it off me then advanced closer to me. My breath caught in my throat as he stood about 30cm away from me in nothing but his boxer shorts.

He said in a vicious tone "I bet you just loved seeing that huh? Well let me tell you something. You don't know me so don't judge me. You have no idea what I'm about at all so just back off bitch before you regret it"

"Hey don't blame me if you can't remember the name of the girl your screwing!" I yelled angrily and stepped forward to meet his challenge.

" Look you fucking bitch you don't know me at all so who are you to judge my love life!" He yelled not backing down.

" I never said anything bout your love life! I never ever said a word to you!"

" What about 'Aw poor Kai isn't going to get any tonight'"

" Geez Kai, I was just joking. Besides we always make snide comments to each other. It never bothered you before. What changed?"

" Whatever, I don't have time for this" he sounded frustrated and ran his hand through his hair. He looked into my face and saw the worry in my eyes. As much as I hate to admit it I was concerned about him. He had never acted like this before. He had always been arrogant and cocky but in a joking way and now he was being totally serious. Something seemed to be bothering him and making him act differently and I had a feeling that it wasn't just that he got dumped. He backed away from me a bit and his mahogany eyes softened. I tried to read what was wrong through his eyes but they shielded all emotion from my prying eyes. He looked me straight in the eye and said " Look I'm sorry Tanisha. I didn't mean to go off at you like that. There's just a lot of shit in my life that I have to deal with at the moment and your not making it easy for me. But hey I promise I'll be back to my normal arrogant, cocky self tomorrow"  

He gave me a weak smile then left back into the building. I stood there bewildered. For the first time I realized he had no emotion showing in his eyes what so ever. After his sudden outburst he seemed so different. There was no joking, arrogant edge to his voice. It was just hollow with no emotion, almost… cold.

" Hey Tani are you all right?" asked a voice from behind me. I turned to see Ozuma standing there with a worried look on his face. I nodded slightly. " It's been 15 minutes from when you went to give Kai his shirt back. When he came back and you didn't I got worried. I thought he might have killed you then dumped your body somewhere."           

I gave a half-hearted laugh but by the sound of Kai's voice Ozuma's fear wasn't totally unjustified.

" Well you know the usual bickering nothing special" I tried my best to sound convincing but my voice didn't reflect it at all. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

" Tani what's wrong? Did he do something to you?" He asked anger creeping into his voice.

" No, no nothing like that. It's just when I talking to him just then he seemed so cold. I think something is seriously wrong with him. I know I've only known him for 2 days but I can tell something's wrong. Then he apologised to me. Do you know how weird that is?"

Ozuma sighed and sat me down on a bench that was infront of the building " Look Tani, Kai has a lot of things he has to deal with. He is a good guy though so you shouldn't be surprised if he apologised for going off at you. Don't pressure him into anything, he prefers to deal with them by himself but if he's in trouble and needs our help he'll ask. You don't have to worry, he's cocky but not stupid" I nodded in understanding and decided to let the thing with Kai go and try to be nice.

*************************

We ended up leaving at about 11pm that night. The next day at school Kai was back to his normal cocky self. Although he was back to insulting me I was glad. The rest of the week went by pretty fast. Assignments and homework pilled up on my work desk. I looked at the pile and let out a huge sigh as I decided to get started. I picked up an English essay on Romeo and Juliet and sat down at my computer. I finished that within an hour and started on my political and legal essay on the effects of unemployment. This took me longer as I had to go on the net and research figures I could use. When I logged on I found that Tala was online and so was Sasha. I laughed at tala's screen name 'If U'r hot n sexy and female call me on 64482883' A message popped up from Tala saying

If U'r hot n sexy and female call me on 64482883 says: Hey Tani. Have U finished the P and L essay yet. I'm majorly screwed manz. Arg so hard!

New gurl says: WHAT!? I hate Kai!

I then logged off then started on my Art. It didn't take as long as I though but still took 30 minutes. Just as I finished it the clock struck 12. Tala rang me a few minutes later and said most of the group was going and we would meet down there at one o'clock. I then rang Sasha and told her all the details.

*************************

I held up my new 'army' bikini and examined it. It has that army pattern just with different shades of blue and not green. I bought it yesterday and was dying to show it off. This was the perfect opportunity. I laughed evilly to myself then realized Enni was watching from his room. I blushed when I saw him then gave a slight wave. I closed the curtains then changed into the bikini and a pair of short blue board shorts. I grabbed my towel and some sunscreen and chucked them into my beach bag. I put a white tank top over my bikini then opened my window again. I looked across my yard and to where Ennis room was. He was walking round his room looking for something. He seemed to have found it as he yelled in triumph then started to strip. I quickly turned around covering my eyes. Five minutes later I decided it would be safe to turn around. I slowly turned around trying to see if he was fully dressed. I was almost halfway around when I heard yelling from Enni's house. " HEY TANI DO YOU WANT TO WALK TO THE BEACH TOGETHER?" I turned to see Enni yelling while half hanging out his window. I opened the doors that lead to my balcony and yelled back.

" YEAH SURE ENNI. I'LL BE OVER THERE IN A SEC" I chucked my bag over the balcony and started to climb down a rope that I had tied to the roof. I put it there when we first moved in, in case I might have to sneak out. Although this wasn't one of those times I decided I should try it out. I got down to the ground within 10 seconds then headed to the bit in the fence that slid open to reveal a path. Once I got to Enni's back yard I started to climb the tree that led to his room. I just started to climb it when something landed on me. I looked up to see a sea of blonde hair. When I looked closer I realized it was Enni. " Um Enni you know I love you but could you please GET OF ME!!!" I yelled. He looked startled then jumped off me.

"Oh sorry Tani didn't realize I landed on you" he apologized. He had a sheepish look on his face and gave his usual goofy smile. I smiled in return and started to go to the front of his house. Once we got onto the road walked the opposite way from the school and headed to the beach.

*************************

We got there after around 10 minutes of walking. Since Enni and me were residing in the middle of the town we were close to everything. We got there to be greeted by Rei, Li, Mariah and Tala who already had all their stuff laid out on the beach. I did the same as I laid my towel on the sand and started to apply sunscreen to myself. I tried to reach my back but it was too hard. I enlisted the help of Tala to put sunscreen on my back. He didn't seem to mind though. A few minutes later Sasha, Kai, Michael, Max, Robert, Johnny and Ozuma turned up. Tala smirked at Ozuma as he fake boasted about putting sunscreen on my back. Ozuma just laughed as he pulled me into his embrace. " No sorry but she's all mine" said Ozuma as he brought me into a gentle kiss. I was kissing him but then I saw Kai with a girl hat looked oddly familiar. I pushed myself away from Ozuma and walked over to the couple snogging. I tapped the girl on the shoulder and she turned her head to meet my gaze. Immediately she let out a small scream and hugged me tightly. " Oh my god, Isha what are you doing here?"

" What am I doing here?! What are you doing here Rach? I thought mum told you we were moving here."

" No we haven't heard from you since last year. This is so awesome!" Kai let out a small cough to grab our attention.

"So what's going on here?" he questioned.

" Aw Kai sweetie I'm so sorry. This is my cousin Tanisha and Tanisha this is my boyfriend Kai." I stared dumbly at her.

" Wait I think I'm hallucinating. I thought you just said the spawn of Satan was your boyfriend"

Rachel let out a small laugh and said " Oh course I didn't say that!"

" Oh that's good" I said relieved.

" I said Kai was my boyfriend." My vision went all fuzzy and I collapsed.

" Tani, Tani wake up please," said a faint voice. I slowly opened my eyes to see a mess of black, red, yellow and pink. When my vision cleared I realized the mess of colour had been the hair of the gang. Well excluding Kai of course who was standing off to the side with has arms crossed. Tala grabbed my hand and pulled me up to a standing position. " Are you okay? You took a pretty hard fall," he questioned.

" Yah I'm fine just a bit confused," I said rubbing my head. Enni came running up to me pulling me in a big bear hug wailing

" Look Kai you've scarred her for life" he motioned toward a scrape of my arm. The group just laughed as Enni gave a dramatic speech on how Kai had just ruined my life. Rachel came over to me and pulled me away from the crowd. " Isha what's wrong" she questioned.

" Oh nothing it's just I was a bit surprised that's all. Do you know how many girls he's slept with?"

" No. Do you?"

" To many to count! Look I just don't think he deserves you that's all"

Rachel laughed us a bit then said " Isha don't worry I know what I'm doing. I know you want to look out for me because I'm younger than you but Kai is a good guy"

" Why does everyone say that!" I stated loudly. " He is not a good guy! He sleeps around a lot, is arrogant and pisses me off!"

" Look you may not like Kai but I do okay so you'll just have to deal with it. It's my life not yours"

I sighed and stated " Your right. Just he's broken so many hearts and I don't want him to do the same with you." She smiled sincerely at me bringing me into a hug. She whispered " Don't worry he won't otherwise I'll kill him" I gave a small laugh and said

" Not if I get to him first" We held our embrace for a few seconds then broke and went back to the group.

When we got back Enni was just finishing his dramatic speak. When he finished random onlookers clapped along with our group. Although the speech was directed at Kai he was long gone. I spotted him in the waves of the sea on a surfboard. I raced down to the beach while Rachel remained with the gang. I grabbed Tala's board and make my way out into the sea toward Kai. I was going to have a chat to him about Rach. What the hell was he thinking? She wasn't the normal bimbo type he usually went for. In fact she looked a lot like me. Once I got out into the sea I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I had taken a few lessons back in Perth at Cottesloe but that was with my friend's older brother and I spent more time looking at him then anything else. I tried to get Kai's attention but it was useless as he rode a wave. Just as I was about to give up and head to shore a massive wave started to form and there was no way I was going to beat it to shore. I could go under it but what fun would that be. I decided to try and ride it. Kai however decided to miss this one out. He went under just as I started to paddle forward. I jumped onto the surfboard and tried to balance and leant forward. The wave pushed me forward and I screamed as I balanced and went across the wave. I could feel all the eyes on me as I tried my hardest not to fall off the board. I looked back at Kai to see he had finally noticed I was there and scowled at him for not noticing me sooner. Just as I looked back at his I lost my balance and went toppling into the water. When under the water I was spun around in all different directions. I tried to make my way back to the surface but the force of the water was just too much. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head and blacked out.

Oh this is a good cliffy!!! Well if you wanna know what happens next u'll just have to wait. Mwahahaha *choke* Well actually knowing me u'll only have to wait two or three days. I just went to Cottesloe yesterday and got majorly burned so I decided I should add a beach thing into the story since this burn really kills and it's the only thing I can think about. Sorry I've been surfing once but I really sucked at it so my descriptions aren't that great. Anyway pleaz review and for gods sake give me some criticism. Sorry but I really need to improve and I can't do unless people give me their views on my writing. Well
