Bwahahahaha…
Kai: What's so funny.
Sk: You're about to get
REALLY corney on yourself.
Kai: WHY!?
Sk: Part of the story…and
your torture. :D
Kai: -.-'………damn you…………
Emily: Disclaimer on first chapter.

Chapter 8
~Emily's POV~
This should be good. Heh
heh heh…I looked into the
mirror and saw what I had done to myself. I applied the same cosmetics Mariah
used on the day I went over to Kai's house. It was now Monday and I was getting
ready for school. I knew that everyone could wear whatever they desired, as
long it looked like the main school uniform: a white collared shirt and black
or blue pants, or skirts for girls. Gray, navy blue, white, and black sweaters
were also allowed to wear.
I searched around my closet, looking for a pair of tight black flares I
received at my 14th birthday party from my aunt a few months ago. I
never tried them on for school since I didn't want to wear pants. But some
girls wore slacks but popular girls chose
to wear skirts. I wanted my own style, but wanted to become popular.
I finally found the pants hidden under where I put my khakis. I slipped them on
and got out a white shirt with a collar. This one however stretched, making it
a little bit tight if it was a small size, which was exactly what I was
holding. I buttoned it on and left the top button undone, which was at my neck.
I combed out my hair and re-curled the tips and my bangs. I wanted to change so
much, to get my fifteen minutes of fame if I could. I got the gray bag I used
from Mariah and stuffed my school needs in it. I looked back into the mirror
and saw I revealed a little too much. I thought of wearing a sweater as I
walked back to my closet and found a gray loose sweater. I put it on and zipped
up half of the bits.
No one was home, my parents already left for work. I got on a pair of Adidas
(a/n: I don't own them) with black stripes down the side and headed out the
door, locking it as I got outside.
I saw Mariah standing out on the sidewalk waiting for me. I walked over and
walked with her to school.
"Hey Emily!"
She cheerfully greeted.
"Hey Mariah…Haha…I
just found out something."
"What is it?"
I didn't want to get into any of the business that happened on Friday, so I
thought up a different conversation.
"I was searching around the internet,
and found out what Adidas stood for." I explained.
"What? All dumb idiots do aerial
stunts?" she guessed laughing.
"Good one, but that's not what I found."
"What was it then?"
"Hnn…disturbing actually…All Day I Dream About Sex."
Mariah was quiet, then burst out laughing as we got to
school.
"It wasn't that funny" I commented.
She still laughed her head off. It seemed even a tree could make her giggle.
I saw the posse of popular people talking to each other under a huge tree near
a fence. As I neared the school, I looked back at them again, and saw they
looked at me. Scary. I wondered why, I wasn't that
interesting.
Getting to the front doors of the school, I saw a group of girls surrounding
someone. (A/N: Any guesses?) I went around them, and saw Kai. He was in his
'usual' position as girls tried to talk to him. He wasn't responding, as if he
didn't hear any of them. They were saying things like "So are you meeting
anyone?" or "Do you have a girlfriend?" It was a complete mystery as to why he
didn't hang around the popular kids. It didn't seem right, since he was the
most popular boy, Tala being second, and Ray being
third.
Mariah finally stopped laughing as we got to our lockers.
"That was hilarious. I wonder what Nike
stands for"
We both laughed a few seconds. Opening my locker, something fell out, a piece
of paper. (A/N: o0o0o…) It was white and looked like it had just been put in my
locker. I didn't want to tell Mariah about it, or she was just gonna bug me about it.
"I gotta go
meet Ray. I'll see you in homeroom." Mariah said and closed her locker. She
skipped off in search of Ray. I leaned into my open locker and unfolded the
note. It read:
Emily,
It's a mystery to my being that I've found feelings for you. I can't stop
thinking about them and don't know why. A slight change you say makes you my
whole world. Please stop by locker #137 after school if you want to know who I
am. I need to tell you something important.
Signed,
A
confused wonderer
I twitched here and there. I knew something was up and I didn't want it to
happen. Someone had a crush on me! Of all people…me! But why?
It was 8th grade and yet someone just now wants to meet me. But it
didn't look like this person was a jerk, but really confused. The handwriting
was neat and looked as though it was well thought out. I was afraid that this
person was stalking me or something.
In homeroom, I sat at my desk, re-reading the note. I noticed 'A slight change you say makes you my whole
world.' Change…I have no slightest idea on what this person talks about.
But the line was so…profound, like it was really meant. I soon found out I was
getting soft on myself. I never thought about real love, just crushes and such.
The school day ended quickly and I noticed I didn't pay attention to any of the
lessons, just the note. It consumed all of my mind, it
was all I thought about. Someone nudged me on the shoulder.
"Aren't you coming with me to walk to
your house?" Mariah asked. I couldn't leave her, but I really wanted to see who
the note was from.
"Uhh… can you
wait for me outside? I gotta take care of something."
"Yeah, sure. No
problem." She said and went outside.
I searched around a bit, looking at all the locker numbers.
324…325…326…
How was I supposed to find a single locker in this damn school? There were different
locker arrangements, according to homerooms. 'Homerooms…' I thought to myself. I
knew Ms. Kaede had locker numbers from 120 – 140. How
lucky was I, knowing where those lockers were. I headed for the hallway locker
#137 was in. Upstairs, and down one hallway to the right.
Turning left would send you there. It was good being a messenger for the office
for one semester, you'd have to know where all the
classes were.
I got down the hallway that led to my destination. One more turn would take me
there. I dragged in a long, deep breath as my heart started to beat faster. I
took a small peak down that hall and didn't see anyone there. I noticed the first
locker number in the hall, #120. The locker number written on the note was
definitely down that hall.
I took in all my courage and walked into the hallway. I stopped and saw a
bodily figure near the middle of the hall. My heart skipped a beat as I saw
that long, white scarf hanging from the person's back. He turned to look at me……Kai.

Sk: Mwahahaha…I had to end
it there for your pleasure of hanging you off of your seat, and maybe reviewing
to tell me to keep writing, so you could see how this whole thing turns out.
Emily: KEEP WRITING!! I WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS WHOLE THING TURNS OUT.
Sk: See? Emily agrees with
me.
Kai: DISCONTINUE. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS WHOLE THING TURNS OUT.
Sk: And yet Kai disagrees
with me. Please R+R…I'll put up another chapter as soon as I can IF I get to 40
reviews today. Mwahahaha…………but I know it won't get
that far…so I'll put it up tomorrow…or today if I type it out…U.U…
