Hi! Thanks for your nice reviews! I do the happy dance whenever I get a new
one! Okay here is chapter 5.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kali woke up with puffy red eyes. She stretched, yawned and then turned on the radio.
"Rainy today, maybe some brief sunshine around noon." Kali groaned loudly and jumped off the couch. Now that she listened, she could here the rain beating on the windows. The door handle turned, and Kai walked in.
"Hi Kali," Kai said, looking very worn out. Kali raised her eyebrows.
"Busy night?" Kai gave her the finger and grinned as he walked up the stairs to change.
"I'm going to the bar tonight, do you want to come to?" Kai yelled from upstairs. Kali shrugged and then remembered that Kai couldn't hear a shrug.
"Sure, I guess," Kali yelled back and sat down at the table with a bowl of cereal. She ate quickly and changed into new clothes. Kai was outside fishing by the time she got back down stairs. She walked outside to join him.
"So, where'd you get the flower?" Kai asked as Kali said down beside him with her fishing pole. Kali blushed.
"Gray gave it to me. He broke up with Mary. I think. I guess he finally caught her with Jack," Kali said and shrugged. Kai gave her a knowing smile.
"You really like him, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do. I don't know what to do though. Cause if I ask him out, I don't want to be the rebound girl," Kali bit her lip and looked up into the dark clouds. "What do you think?"
"I dunno. See how it goes for awhile. Just try to be a friend until he gets over it. But I will remember this. . ." Kai said and reeled in a small fish. He grimaced at it and threw it back into the ocean.
"Don't tell him, okay?" Kali mock pleaded and reeled in a large fish. Kali glared at her fish as she happily unhooked it and put it in a bucket filled with water.
"Maybe I should," Kai replied, still staring at the fish. Kali shook her head.
"It's a stupid fish, Kai!" He shrugged and looked off into the sea. "I'm going to the store before it rains. I want to buy some bread," Kali said and handed Kai her fishing pole. He gave her a confused look. "It's good luck," Kali said and winked. Kai shrugged and put his pole down. Kali walked off the beach and into Rose Square.
*I should have asked Kai where it is. . .oops. . .* Kali thought and continued walking straight. She ended up at the Inn. Luckily, Ann was outside watering some flowers.
"Hey, uh. . . Ann! I'm Kai's sister, Kali," Kali said and walked over to Ann. Ann smiled.
"Hi. Wow, you two look a lot alike. What can I do for you?"
"Can you tell me where the supermarket is? I forgot to ask Kai." Ann pointed to the right.
"Just go straight back and turn to the left. It's next to the clinic." Kali smiled.
"Thanks a lot, Ann. See ya," Kali said and walked over to the supermarket. She went inside and instantly saw the bread and other cooking items in a corner. She bought two loaves of bread and walked back down to the beach. Kali walked inside and put the bread inside the refrigerator.
"Kai?" she called. "Kai, I'm back!" There was no answer. *Oh well, he's probably out with Popuri somewhere.* Kali looked at the clock. 1PM. The bar would open in a couple of hours, which meant Kali had a couple hours to waste. There was a bit of a food shortage, so Kali pulled out the bread again, and a couple other ingredients. At 7:00PM, Kali had made four slices of chocolate cake and two loaves of raisin bread. She eyed her creations happily.
"Not the healthiest types of food, but that's okay!" Kali sang happily and hopped out the door. She took her time walking over to the Inn, and ended up getting there at 8:10. Kai, Popuri, Cliff, and Ann were all seated around a table. Gray was sitting by himself at a table in the corner. Kai waved and gestured to an open seat next to him.
"Kali! Hi!" Cliff yelled and Ann turned around to wave.
"Hi. What have you guys been doing all day? I have been so bored," Kali said, trying to start conversation. Popuri shrugged.
"Stuff." Everyone gave Kai and Popuri a suspicious stare. They both turned red.
"Um. . . yeah, what did the rest of you do?" Popuri asked as she twirled a piece of pink hair around her finger.
"I cooked!" Kali said happily. Kai blinked at her.
"You? You cooked?" He asked. Kali nodded. "Wow. I thought you hated cooking."
"I was bored," Kali reminded him. He shrugged and got up to get a drink.
"Oh, so is that why you went to the store?" Ann asked.
"Yeah. Thanks again for telling me where it is," Kali said and smiled. Kai came back with his drink.
"I am getting so drunk tonight that I wont know left from right," he declared and took a gulp from his drink.
"Do you ever know the difference between left and right?" Cliff teased. Kai shrugged and got up to get more drinks. Cliff got up to go with him.
"So," Ann said and looked at Kali. Popuri did the same.
"What? What did I do? You guys are scaring me," Kali exclaimed.
"So Kali, who do you like?" Popuri asked Kali and Ann grinned.
"Come on, you can tell us!"
"I wont tell you until I am tortured!" Kali declared and crossed her arms over her chest. Kai and Cliff had come back from the bar, Kai already drunk.
"Oh. . . I can tell you who she likes," he slurred rather loudly. Kali's eyes got large.
"She. . . she likes. . . um. . . Gray! That's right, Gray! She's totally in. . . . in love with Gray! I can't believe you can't see it already. I mean, it's so obvious. . ." Cliff slapped a hand over Kai's mouth. The whole bar was silent, staring at Kali. Kai wrestled Cliff's hand off his mouth.
"Hey, dude . . . don't do that . . . Yeah, so Kali likes Gray! You do, don't ya, little sister?" Kai said and fell off the bar seat. Kali was in shock. Her brother had never embarrassed her like that before. Ever. As Kai got back on the bar seat, Kali stood up and stumbled as she walked over to the door. As soon as she opened it, she took off running, faster than she ever had before. She couldn't see where she was going; only a steady steam of tears coursing down her face. She finally reached the lodge, and ran inside it.
"I can't believe he did that to me," Kali cried. She grabbed a backpack and put food inside of it. "I can't believe he did that in front of all my new friends." She pushed a jacket and her radio inside the bag. "They wont be seeing me for awhile now. I need some time alone." Kali walked back outside, swung the backpack over her shoulder, and ran.
