"Whatever, just don't touch anything," Rika said sternly as Kai frowned.
Rika secretly smiled as Kai sat on the sofa. She inserted a CD in her MP3
player and forwarded to track 5. Kai looked strangely at her as the lyrics
started.
Freedom's all around
Dancing as we paint the town
Friends they do surround
We are single yeah
It's so great to be
Answering to nobody
Freedom's got the sound
We are single yeah
Freedom's all around
People jumping up and down
Boys and girls get down
We are single yeah
It's so great to be in the crazy company

Rika sighed as she sat up straight. She looked at the clock and it read 11:00 pm. 'Well time sure passes quickly. I'm supposed to meet Tala near the graveyard in an hour and this jerk can't even go to sleep so I can sneak out. Dammit!' She yelled inwardly glaring at Kai who was staring at her with a raised slate colored eyebrow. "What?" She barked which made Kai smirk maliciously. Just as he was about to reply, the phone rang. Rika dragged herself to the phone and picked up.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Rika, this is Maressa," A worried female voice answered.
"What's wrong? Is everything alright there?" Rika frowned.
"Rika, I don't know how the hell to tell you this but Tala, he betrayed us!" Maressa cried. A look of shock was clear as water on Rika's face and Kai saw it as well and grew curious.
"There must be some mistake, Maressa. He would never do this. He's too loyal to do this! How do you know?"
"He left a letter behind. It said that he's quitting the Devilz forever now," Maressa said and Rika heard quiet sobs as tears in her own eyes welled up. But she remembered that Kai was with her and she would not show her weaknesses in front of him.
"Look, even I can't believe he would do that. Him, of all the people but we have to stick by our rules. He's gone, he's history, if he can leave us for everything we've done for him then we can forget him for the rest of our lives. I know you're his sister and all but you gotta leave it behind you. We all thought that he cared about us but this just proves he doesn't and we'll show him we don't care about him either," Rika informed firmly. Kai smirked while Rika just rolled her eyes.
"Wow that was some speech. But then why do you think he betrayed us?" Maressa asked sniffling.
"I dunno, not sure. I called him before and I just noticed that he didn't sound like himself at all. The last time he sounded like this was three years ago, that night everything happened. He didn't tell me anything and right now I don't even care about him. I just wanna strangle him to death!!!" Rika exclaimed frustrated. She could hear Maressa stifling a giggle although she couldn't make what she was giggling about.
"Girl, I have to call you later cuz right now I have to save myself from Amrik, who's trying to strangle me to bed! Buh bye!" Maressa exclaimed laughing even more.
"Whatever, bye," Rika said shaking her head in disgust. She put the phone down and stared at something directly in front of her. Kai followed her gaze and saw a pair of shoes. Kai just shook his head.
"So who was that?" Kai asked. Rika stepped out of her trance and glared at him.
"No one you care about," She snapped. She had no idea what came over her but then suddenly, to her surprise and Kai's, she punched the wall with her fist in frustration. "Ok, I'm going insane over this thing. But still Maressa was right about one thing. Why the fuck would he quit the Devilz when he's been with us for practically all his life. This doesn't make any sense!" Rika wondered out loud as she used to before completely unaware of Kai looking at her strangely. Then a realization dawned upon her that practically drained the color of her face. She stood frozen on one spot with her face colored pale white as if she had seen a ghost.
"Oh my gosh!" Rika cried but then shut up as soon as she realized Kai was in the same room as her and he wasn't sleeping.
