Hi! I've been really busy lately, between physical therapy for my knee (I'M ONLY ALMOST 14 AND I'M FALLING APART!!) and evil homework, I don't have much time to type my poor little story up, so I won't be getting chapters up as fast as I have been. Okay here is chapter7!!
Kali awoke in the hospital the next day. From the dark look of the room, it was night. Kai and Popuri slept on a couch to the right of her bed. On the left, Gray watched her from his chair.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" He asked. Kali rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"I've felt better. I don't remember much of what happened though. Why am I here?"
Gray looked stressed out. "You don't remember any of it?" Kali shrugged and shook her head.
"Well I do remember one part . . . but it doesn't have anything to do with why I am here," Kali said and blushed. She only remembered the part where they almost kissed.
"Oh. Umm . . . Well you ran away and I found you on Mother's Hill. You were really sick so I gave you a cracker and some water and then . . ." Gray stopped talking and coughed. "They, uh, came to take you back here. You passed out."
Kali nodded as she remembered. "And you carried me down the hill."
"Well . . ."
"And you carried me down the hill," Kali repeated. "Thank you." Gray looked up, surprised.
"No problem. What are friends for?" Gray said and looked down at the floor. Kali bit her lip.
"About that. . ." Kali started shyly.
"GOOD MORNING!" Kai yelled, waking Popuri up and making Gray fall out of his chair. Kali jumped back also, surprised. While Gray got up onto his chair, Kai stretched and happily looked around the room.
"Kai you monkey," Popuri moaned and pushed him over. "I was sleeping."
Kai grinned. "I know. And Gray and Kali were having a private conversation." Kali gasped.
"You were listening?" She screamed. "Gosh Kai, get some manners!" Kai grinned louder.
"Just ask her out already, Gray. You know you want to," Kai said and Gray blushed.
"Uh, yeah, Kali do you . . . uh . . . do you want to eat dinner at the Inn with me tonight? Or tomorrow night? Or . . ." Kali grinned.
"I'd love to," Kali said, cutting him off. Gray showed them all one of his rare smiles and Popuri smiled.
"See there, Kai is a great match maker, just give him time and he'll get anyone together," she said.
"Does that include embarrassing me at the Inn?" Kali asked quietly. Kai's shoulders slumped, and his good mood disappeared.
"I'm really sorry about that, Kali. I was drunk, and you know I can't control myself very well," Kai started and broke off, wiping his eyes. "Can you forgive me?" he asked with a sad look on his face. Kali's mood softened, and she hugged Kai tightly.
"Just don't do that to me again, Kai. Just don't."
"I can do that," Kai replied. "I can." Popuri poked Gray.
"Hey, do you have a camera?" Gray pretended to look through his sack carefully, and then shook his head.
"No, sorry," Gray replied. Kali pulled away from Kai and pinched Gray and Popuri lightly on their arms.
"Ouch!" Popuri moaned. Gray rubbed the spot with his hand.
"Well I see you're awake now," the Doctor said as he entered the room.
"Yeah," Kali said and laid down.
"Well, your food wasn't poisoned, so you probably got sick because of the temperature," the Doctor continued. Kali nodded. "But since you are awake now and it seems as though your fever is gone, you can leave now."
"Good. We need to have that swimming contest now," Kai said and wiggled his eyebrows at Kali.
"Yeah," she said and giggled.
"Cool. I'm going to come and watch, if you don't mind," Gray said and moved his hat higher. Kali got off the bed and put her shoes on.
"No, go right on ahead. It'll be great to have a spectator or two. Especially since you will finally see someone that can beat Kai," Kali said and poked Kai. "You're going down!"
"Not on your life!"
