Chapter 10: Back at School
Kiko approached Gigi after gym class. "Is it true that Riko was voted innocent, and that he raped you?" She whispered as they walked to their lockers. Gigi nodded sadly. "Boy, if that happened to me, Marcus would kick his ass for sure."
"That's why Riko's in such bad shape. Kai beat the shit outta him. See ya at lunch." She waved goodbye, entering her science class. She felt a pair of hands touch her waist, and jumped a little. She whirled around to see Kai.
"A little jumpy now, are we?" He teased as he sat down at his desk.
"You can't blame me." Gigi murmered, sitting in her seat diagnally from them. She looked at Ray and Mariah flirting with each other near the door way. Mariah was blushing and laughing at a joke Ray had made. "Aren't those two cute?"
"If that's what you call cute." Kai replied dully.
"Then they're sweet, okay?"
"Hn."
"What would you call Max and Mariam?"
"Cute. Tell me something, Gigi." He glanced at Tyson, then back to her. "How long has Susan liked Tyson?"
"How did you know Susan likes Tyson?" Gigi gasped.
"Cause she's flirting with him like crazy." Kai pointed to Susan talking to Tyson.
"Yeah, well that was a dead give away." She sighed.
"Hey there, Thorson." A familiar yet unwanted voice called out. Kai let out a low growl as he faced Riko. "Hello Kai. Nice day, isn't it?" He asked with a strange smile on his face.
"Go away, Mendes." Kai grunted coldly.
"Yeah right."
"I said scram."
"Fine fine. Bye Gigi, I'll be seeing you later." Riko winked at her. He sat down in his seat, grinning.
"Uh, Kai?" Gigi asked nervously.
"Yeah?" He replied, his eyes still locked on Riko.
"Can I... can I stay at your house for the next few days? Riko probably knows where I live, and..."
"Okay. You don't have to worry about him." He answered. 'I think it's time for another lesson.'
"Hey guys." Ray greeted cheerfully, Mariah at his side.
"Did you finish your homework in geometry?" Mariah asked Gigi.
"Yup. Do you need help with it?"
"I don't get it at all..."
"Great, I'll help you."
"Thanks." Mariah stated as the lunch bell rang. Without saying a word, Kai got up and left for the hallway. "What's his problem?" Mariah asked with her hands on her hips.
"I dunno. Let's just go to lunch." Gigi pulled her towards the door, knowing what Kai was planning.
Riko rounded the corner of the empty hallway, and ran straight into Kai. "I still can't believe they let me go free. Isn't that great? You know, we'd make a great team in football." He tilted his head to the side. "You're still mad about Gigi, right? Well, I'll be seeing her after school anyway. And you can't stop me. I know where she lives."
"You're not going to lay a finger on her." Kai stated firmly.
"You only won the battle last time, cause I wasn't feeling good. You know, that feeling you get the morning after you have-"
"Shut up." Kai pinned Riko to the wall.
"After you have sex." Riko smirked under Kai's grasp. Suddenly, he felt the cold muzzle of a gun press against the back of his neck.
"You wanna say that again?" Kai growled. Riko swallowed hard and stayed silent. He let go of him and threw him against the wall. After recovering, Riko stood up.
"It's probably not even loaded." He chuckled. Kai switched off the safety and shot out a window. "You're going to have to pay for the window. Then, you'll get suspended from school, then Gigi will dump you, then she'll go out with me..." While he was talking, Kai took out the remaining bullets of it, and shoved the gun into Riko's hand.
"Look who's got the gun now."
Just then, Mr. Palestrome ran into the hall, hearing the echo of the gunfire. "Riko Mendes? What the heck do you think you're doing in the school with a gun? You are expelled."
"But, it-"
"No buts. And you shot out a window too?! God Riko, can you get any stupider? Get into my office right now, before you cause a scene." He demanded. Riko glared at Kai, then made his way to the principle's office. "Hiwatari, what're you doing here?"
"He shot at me." Kai lied.
"Why."
"He raped Gigi. Then, I beat him up, but not on school grounds, mind you. I guess he wanted revenge or something, but he missed, and shot the window." He explained coolly.
"Go to lunch, Hiwatari. I'll deal with you later." Mr. Palestrome ordered as he went back to his office. Kai turned towards the lunch room, smiling to himself that the principle had actually believed his story. 'But Riko deserved it, didn't he? Yes, of course he did.' He thought to himself as he pushed the door open. He caught sight of Ray, Mariah, Gigi, Tyson, Mariam, Max, and Hilary at a near by table. Gigi's face held a worried expression. 'I didn't shoot him.' He thought to her. As soon as he thought it, she sighed with relief.
~*At the Thorson House*~ (A Few Hours Later)
"Kurt, you can't be serious." Cynthia sighed.
"I am. I told you, I really think she did get raped."
"If she really was raped, Riko would be in jail because they'd have proof."
"You heard the lawyer, he said they waited too long. Besides, I don't like the Hiwatari kid." Kurt stated.
"You've been saying that for the past week."
"Well, it's still true."
"That's nice dear, but you don't have a reason to dislike him." Cynthia picked up the remote control and turned on the television."
"Don't turn it up so loud, Cyn. I'm trying to finish the paperwork." Mr. Thorson complained.
"Oh, boo hoo." Mrs. Thorson turned to the t.v.
"Today, at Seimuto High, a reported gunshot was heard by both students and faculty throughout the building. The principle of Seimuto High states that Riko Mendes was the one who pulled the trigger, supposedly trying to shoot a fellow student, Kai Hiwatari. It's been said by many members of the school that these two were arch-enemies from day one. Fortunately, Mendes missed and shot out a window. The school is still going to stay open, as it is an open and shut case. Now, to Fionne Revig with the weather..."
"Well, as long as they got the shooter, it's nothing to be worried about." Cynthia said to herself as she flicked to another channel. "I wonder if it'll be a boy or girl." She wondered out loud.
"What will be a boy or girl?" Kurt called from his office room.
"Gigi's baby."
"I thought we decided she was going to have an abortion."
"That's what you decided. She told me she wasn't sure. Then, she called Kai, and said that she didn't want to have an abortion."
"Why does she care what he thinks? Anyway, that means she's going to give it up for adoption, right?"
"No, she wants to keep it, and raise it here." Cynthia replied.
"I don't want some other kid's child in my house!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Dear, I think you're forgetting it's Gigi's child."
"She's not even married!"
"It's not like she went out, asking to be raped."
"I never said that she did."
"Let's just quit arguing, it's getting no where."
Okay! I am so sorry that this chapter sucks, and it was too short, and it too me too darn long to update! I'm really sorry. I just had to have an in-between chapter thingy for the next chapter to make sense. Thanks to the reviewers. Thank you SO MUCH! Please R'N'R!!!! Stay tuned for Chapter 11 :)
