After what Aya had told her the other day Cooper brooded over her breakfast occasionally poking it ill temperedly.
"Ashley someone at the door for you!" her mother called from the other room. Cooper scowled, her face flushing ever so slightly at the cursed name she was to forever more bare. Stomping from the kitchen she saw a certain red haired blue eyed boy standing in the doorway.
"Mom, what the hell is he doing here?" Cooper asked, glaring at Tala with pure hate.
"That's what I want to know." Growled a familiar voice behind him as Aya stalked through shoving Tala out of her way. Cooper nodded curtly to the black haired girl as she took position beside her arms folded face like thunder. Tala smirked.
"Thought I'd just pay a visit to my new neighbours." He said eyeing Cooper; she rolled her eyes in disgust before his words hit her like a 40-ton sledgehammer.
"Neighbour!?" Cooper spluttered. Aya's expression became darker and her eyes took on a steely black colour. Tala's smirk became wider. Cooper's mother stood in the hall watching the whole scene with mounting confusion.
"Why don't you find some other new kid to stalk? Because frankly, Volkov, you are really starting to piss me off and you won't like me when I'm angry." Aya snarled, her voice barely above a whisper, but none the less holding force and the promise of much pain. Tala threw Aya a look, her face was thunderous; for some reason she was angry and whatever it was it was big, very big.
Being who he was Tala folded his arms
"Why? Sorry you aren't getting the same attention?" He stated, his already over inflated ego reaching explosion forces. Aya closed her eyes, a heavy sigh escaping through her nostrils, the left side of her cheek twitching.
"Volkov, Tala, dickwad." She said ticking off each of his names, the last one her favourite. Her eyes opened severely ebony now, Cooper glanced into her face before uttering a small, silent, eep under her breath.
"Either you leave or I permanently make you leave your body. Because when I get through with you they will be placing your body parts into little pickle jars for many years to come." She snarled. Tala laughed making Cooper look back at him as if he was crazy.
"And how exactly will you do that babe?" He questioned. Aya started forward, pulling her left glove from her fist. Mrs. Enders quickly stepped between the pair.
"Um ok how about we all have something to drink before this gets out of hand?" She suggested, Cooper glanced at her watch before hissing under her breath.
"Sorry mom we're late!" she cried. Grabbing her bag and Aya's arm, who didn't budge for a second because she was still fixed to the ground, her eyes never leaving Tala's face. Cooper tugged her outside throwing Tala a look of pure loathing. They walked down the road in silence
"What is wrong with you? I've never seen you look so mad!" Cooper exclaimed once they were around the corner and out of earshot from Tala and Kai, whom was waiting on his BMX outside the house.
"Nathan and I had another argument." She stated coldly, Cooper groaned rolling her eyes.
"What about?" She asked. Aya shot her a scathing glance to which Cooper felt like muttering another small eep. Only this time she squared her shoulders and glared back, not being one to be intimidated easily.
"You." She commented. Cooper stared at the black haired girl mutely she opened her mouth once control of her vocal cords returned.
"Why would you two be fighting about me?" She asked stupidly. Aya sighed giving her a blank stare the stocking green colour of her eyes beginning to return,
"You really are naïve you know that." She commented dryly. "Cooper in the short few days that you've been here you have picked up a number of admirers some of which are only kept away by the fact that I will tear them limb from limb. Tala, Nathan, Michael, and Tyson are a little more stubborn than the others are. You don't have to worry about Tyson or Michael, they're nice enough and won't do anything without your say-so, but Tala and Nathan think they're the kings of the world and will do what they want. They have even reduced to getting girls drunk just so they can sleep with them, it's happened before." She explained blankly disgust enveloping the last few words.
Cooper was reeling, "Wait! Michael, who the hell is he?" she demanded glaring angrily at Aya. The girl chuckled slightly nodding across the road to where a gravity defying red haired boy tossed a baseball up and caught it repeatedly whilst whistling the baseball theme tune.
"Lemme guess..."
"Michael." They both said at the same time, the red haired boy looked up to see them watching him; a smirk grew on his face.
"Hey ladies!" He called.
"Don't push your luck!" Aya snapped back swiftly. Cooper followed her ignoring the red head as he continued to whistle.
Tala bobbed his head as he listened quite happily to Limp Bizkit. Kai followed at his side, leaning heavily against his handlebars, watching the girls in front of them. One a tall blonde girl with her hair in plaits, the other a spunky brown haired girl currently skipping every other step singing at the top of her lungs the lyrics to Pink Family Portrait, not realising it was suppose to be a sad song.
His expression would normally light up with a malicious smirk, but he just couldn't be bothered this morning. Himself and Tala were the biggest players in the whole school, they were well known for fucking any girl who even looked their way. Half the girls in the school lost their virginity to Kai and Tala. Enrique was just as much of a player and had in fact sent them an email the night before.
Tala glanced at him after a while, after noticing the girls over his music; he expected to see a nasty smirk on his friend's face, only to see it glum and sulky.
"Dude?" he questioned.
Nothing. Kai continued to glare at the pavement in front of him.
"Hey dude!" Tala said again, nudging him with his elbow. Kai's face snapped up to glare at him. Tala smirked slipping his head phones off.
"What's up? There's a pair of hot girls in front of us and you aren't yet making plans to sleep with them... you're worrying me here." He mocked. Kai glared angrily at Tala before sighing and going back to hanging from his handlebars.
"I don't know what's wrong." He stated, "I just don't feel right anymore." He explained uncomfortably. As much as they wished guys could just open up to each other like girls can do, they can't just spill out all their problems and expect to feel better. It's different for a guy; if they spilled then others would consider them gay and pathetic. And their egos are the most important things to them.
Tala sighed; he knew exactly what was wrong. Too bad Kai was even more oblivious than she was. He sighed once more, and a picture formed in his mind, one that almost made him laugh; in fact the urge was very strong. Tala snorted with laughter, but turned it into a sneeze before Kai got suspicious. The idea of it! That would just be too funny!
Tala couldn't help but grin stupidly as they entered their classroom and sat in the corner. On the opposite side was Aya, with her massive boots on the desk, as usual, and her dark hair tied into a high ponytail, and for once the bangs teased out. Cooper was beside her, the natural blond and red dye streaked hair cascaded down her slouched back loose and free, with the exception of the black Distillers hat she had on backwards (She had convinced the teachers to allow her to wear it after insisting she had a dandruff problem). They were talking fast and beside them were Tyson and his gang. Mariah and Ray, it seemed were back together after their fight a few days back over what happened at the party.
It was a normal party, with Kai's band playing and Bryan was trying to get Aya drunk again. But unlike any of the other girls, Aya could hold her vodka shots, all 13 of them. Mariah, on the other hand, was already smothered and was dancing rather dirtily with her other friend Lee. Ray had only just arrived and saw them. He hit the roof and dragged Lee outside to explain himself but Lee too was drunk. It seemed that Bryan had managed to get everyone drunk. Everyone apart from the main person he was trying to.
By the end of the party, Aya was the only one still sober and awake. Everyone had fallen asleep or was making out in small dark corners; Tala laughed again remembering the expression on Bryan's face when he woke up the morning after.
'FUCK! My head! Did I finally get Zelandonii pissed?' oh the string of curses that ensued after he was given the answer was hilarious. it surprised Tala that Bryan was capable of swearing in 17 different languages. Aya looked over at him, her expression acid. Tala snorted with laughter at the memories of Bryan trying to get with the black haired girl. Of course he never did, she was untouchable and forbidden. He then glanced at Cooper.
Both girls had that feeling. That was probably more than likely why he was so drawn to the cynical, blonde, girl and all her violent nature. Mrs. Yusuki stormed in to the classroom with her usual air of superiority and maliciousness.
"Good morning class." She commented briskly.
"Good morning Ma'am." The class droned.
"Aya feet off the table; Miss Mink please throw that gum in the bin." Mariah gave the teacher a suffering glare; "Mr Tate please put your sweets into your bag unless you plan on sharing with the class." Max blushed a faint pink colour and quickly shoved his sweets into his bag.
It was hard to say whether the students hated her more than she hated them.
"Now students, I shall be giving you a final mark soon before this year ends." Cooper felt like slapping her forehead, she forgot that summer vacation was only in a few weeks! Two to be exact but it was Friday so she and Aya could talk all they wanted about what to do in the weekend.
She was going to invite Amy, Seth, and Tom round and see what they thought of California. Then they would all go and learn how to surf and she would somehow find a way to get Seth and Aya going out and they would all laugh about their plans over ice cream Sundays on the beach and Tala would have his ass seriously kicked if he tried anything. Cooper sighed dreamily, her imagination beginning to wonder. Unfortunately for her, Aya elbowed her back into harsh reality.
Mrs. Yusuki gave everyone an evil look as they waited what their assignment would be.
"You will each be tied to your partner for the next 3 days on a 5 yard length of rope. You will go everywhere together, eat together, and even sleep in the same beds as each other." The class was in shock and a few of the girls squealed excitedly, Mariah being one of them, clinged to Ray like a parasite.
Cooper and Aya groaned, banging their heads against the table in disbelief and in unison.
"I CANNOT believe I actually woke up happy today." Aya grunted through her ponytail, which was now obstructing her field of vision. Then Cooper feebly raised her hands.
"Uhh Mrs. Yusuki.........I don't think that's a good idea-"
"Nonsense Cooper. It's an excellent idea. It will teach you hopeless teenagers the true meaning of teamwork and trust." Mrs. Yusaki interrupted.
'Just like the bitch.' Cooper thought acidly. 'Meh, I just hope she has the common sense to at least hand out condoms to the other poor unprotected girls.' Cooper looked at the cluster of excited boys through the corner of her eye and seconded her first opinion.
"Can you say rape?" she muttered to herself. Aya nodded in disgust.
"Especially them." She hissed, jerking her head in the direction of the red and blue haired boys in the far corner. Half the girls in the class were already eyeing the pair up as if they were an eight- course meal ready for them. Aya made a gagging noise.
"I'd rather fail." She stated coldly to the teacher. Mrs. Yusuki gave her a look of pure venom, which she returned tenfold. Cooper placed her head in her hands and groaned loudly and longley.
"My life is over!" she said repeatedly, not bothering to whisper and not caring if the other room occupants heard it or not. Aya glared at Mrs. Yusuki a question forming in her butterfly mind.
"And will we get to choose these partners?" she queried almost dreading the obvious answer.
"Of course not." she stated briskly. The two girls groaned even louder their heads once again hitting the table with loud thumps.
Aya hissed in her mind 'Please not Hiwatari; just don't pair me with him! Please, you bitch!'
"Now let me see, I paired you all last night. And I do have the list here somewhere." She said rooting around in the horrible red handbag slung over her desk with half the continents spilled out. Aya threw a look of disgust at Kai, just because he was there, and continued to mourn her despaired and horrific existence.
"Ahh here we go! Mr. Kon, you will be tied to Miss Mink." She said Mariah squealed happily giving Ray a huge kiss on the cheek, which he found hard not to blush at. "Mr. Tate you shall be haired with Miss Simons." Emily blushed looking at her feet.
In spite of having her life ruined, Cooper nudged Aya and threw a 'congratz' smile to Mariah. Aya nodded and threw Emily a grin and thumbs up.
"Miss Enders." The pair looked into Mrs. Yusuki's horribly twisted features, it was only then they realized she was smiling. "You and Mr. Volkov will be spending your time together." Cooper's face drained of all color and she sat there, ridged in her seat, eyes wide and staring in horror.
It wasn't like she didn't expect it out of Mrs. Yusaki, but some deep part of her thought that Mrs. Yusaki might still have some shred of humanity left, and might spare her, just this once! It was wrong. She felt sick.
"Oh shit." Escaped from her throat before it closed up. Aya placed a hand on her shoulder comfortingly, across the room Tala was smirking broadly beside a chuckling Kai.
"Miss Zelandonii, I have the great satisfaction of tying you to Mr. Hiwatari." The room went deathly silent and Aya, who had been listening without only partly froze.
What the fuck?! Every eye was turned to the black haired girl as she slowly came to grips with the horrible twist she had now been presented with.
She knew this was coming. After hearing Cooper pairing, she knew her fate was inevitable. But still, hearing it out loud still seamed to catch her by surprise. Suddenly a sick, horrible lurching feeling began in the back of her stomach.
"I think I'm going to be sick." She muttered, her eyes glazing as bile rose to the back of her throat. Coughing suddenly and hard enough to retch, she glared at the teacher with streaming eyes. "You are the most evil woman in this school." She hissed, her eyes narrowed hatefully. Their lives were over. And hell officially began at the end of the lesson.
Mrs. Yusuki smirked horribly and continued to read the names, but Aya and Cooper were busy. They stared at their desks, not even moving, or even blinking. Their whole lives had been shattered and all because of a stupid, horrible, ugly, teacher, with a very bad fashion sense.
"Would you please come up here." Slowly, one by one, the students' trailed over to the teacher as she cuffed them to each other, with about a length of 5-6 yards of rope. Aya stared at the ground as she felt her wrist twitching and a loud click that shook her from the shock. Glaring at Kai, she quickly pushed him aside.
"Touch me, and I'll tear your balls off with a pair of rusty scissors, and sew them onto your forehead got it?" She snarled as they walked back to their seats, Kai smirked.
"Got it." He stated, placing a hand on her waist only to be elbowed painfully in the stomach. Aya yanked him forwards, and flopping him onto the seat. Glaring at her wall, Aya folded her arms and her eyes took an uncaring tone. A sudden loud yell broke the silence of the room.
"TALA!!!! IF YOU LAY YOUR DIRTY, GAY ASS, HANDS ON ANY PART OF ME ONE MORE TIME! I SWEAR I WILL KNOCK YOU INTO LAST FRIDAY!" Kai cracked into unstoppable laughter, followed by Bryan at the other side of the room, currently chained to the tall blonde girl Kai and Tala saw that morning. Although Tyson's expression darkened, as did Aya's.
Kai groaned, it felt like his shoulder had been dislocated as he was brutally yanked down alleyways and across roads by the girl, as she tried to get home before her eldest brother.
"Will you hurry up!?" She shrieked impatiently at him for the fourth consecutive time. "It isn't that far! Come on, you're so slow!" She yelled, dragging him through lines upon lines of waiting cars. Kai glared at her, he was used to taking his own time, and the fact he was with his BMX didn't make things easier.
"Here's an idea. You run, I ride." He told her, swinging onto his BMX and taking off. Aya growled. The long-standing rivalry between the two was really starting to heat up; she would not be beaten to her own house by that bastard.
Kai couldn't help but wonder how Tala was getting along with Cooper. He could definitely say that Tala would not be sleeping with her; Cooper would punch him into casualty if he tried.
"What's the big hurry anyway!?" He called after her, Aya snorted in distain.
"I have two older brothers and two younger ones. If they see us together, you can just guess what'll happen then, Plus I need to feed the puppies." She explained snarkishly.
Kai blinked, she had puppies?
Cooper unlocked her door and closed it with a snap right in Tala's face. The boy sighed, waiting out side, and took this opportunity to rub his eyes, completely forgetting the tether that suddenly yanked him to the door and slammed his head into it. Tala was left with a beautifully, angry, red welt on his forehead. Cooper tore open the door and closed it after him, her eyes mocking him as he rubbed the painful spot. It would so bruise later on!
"Hungry?" She asked off handedly. As she led him into the kitchen, Tala dived into the fridge while Cooper sat at the counter and munched on a green apple from the fruit basket. Tala pulled a bottle of beer from the fridge; Cooper neglected to mention that if her father saw him doing that he would have his ass kicked.
Cooper swore. Damn, her parents! How the hell was she going to explain this?
'Lemme see. I'm chained to a boy, and one that my mother would call good looking, and no doubt I will never hear the end of this from Tom, Seth, and Amy if they ever found out. And oh yes mother will take as many photos as she can.' Cooper groaned loudly, banging her head on the table.
Tala looked at her as she sat there, with her head on the table, muttering profanities under her breath about Mrs. Yusuki.
"What's up?" He asked, for once genuinely concerned. Cooper looked up skeptical of his sincerity.
"My mother. If she finds out I will never hear the end of this, and to cap it off she'll want to take photos, and show you a whole bunch of pictures from when I was small naked and wrinkly, but I shouldn't have told you that! UHHHH!" She groaned again, slamming her head on the table with repeated words like shit being expelled from her mouth. Tala smirked, shaking his head, red hair falling across his eyes yet again. Cooper, however, did not look up and continued to swear helplessly whilst glaring at the far end of the kitchen towards the pool.
"Here's an idea. We stay at my house. You give your mother some cot-bull story and say you're staying at Aya's. Tomorrow's Bryan's party anyway, so we'll be staying there." He explained, Cooper glanced at him suspiciously.
"And you do realize that if you touch me, I will have to hospitalize you." She told him, blonde eyebrows high and reaching into her hairline. Tala nodded looking disgruntled.
"Yeah, and do I look happy with that?" He asked her. Cooper wasn't even listening.
"Shit mom's home!" She hissed. Snatching the beer from Tala's hand, she shoved it in the fridge and retreated from the kitchen into the garden. Tala frowned, she managed to gather from his look that he didn't understand.
"I'd rather she didn't know 'bout this fucked up project." She hissed angrily. Tala rolled his eyes.
"Well what are you going to wear tomorrow, and the next day, and too the party?" He asked. Tala knew he said the wrong thing. Almost as soon as it left his mouth, Cooper swatted him angrily over the head.
"You think I knew about this? Don't worry, mom comes home to start dinner, then she goes out to pick my dad up in the car. We sneak in and I grab some clothes, we leave and all before they get back." She hissed, apparently their conversation had been noticed, but only by next-door's dog (not Tala's) whom was now barking like a deranged rabid elephant. Cooper sighed. She couldn't wait until she got this tether off!
