THE NEW GIRL

CHAPTER O5

------ - - - -- - - -- - - -

I think I will be stuck under Kai forever, or until one of us dies

Hopefully it'll be him.

"Kai?" I whined, "Are you done yet? You know I can hardly breathe under here!"

"Stop moving! No I am not done cause you keep squirming around and I can't get my earring loose!" Kai chastised. I'm going to have Kai imprinted on my back!

How long does it take to get a blasted earring unhooked from my swimmer ties? Ok I know a lot of girls would die to be in this position, but not me! Why you ask? Because it's my first day, its Kai and he'll probably end up thinking I like him or something!?! And because we are both wet. AHHH THE IMAGES!

Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts. . . .

"Guys maybe we should go home and finish this?" Raven asked interrupting my happy thoughts.

"Why?" Kai and I asked in unison, he growled at me and went back to fiddling with his earring.  

"Because the sun is going down and when all the light is gone you will have no chance of getting unstuck." Raven replied wringing the last bit of water out of her hair.

"And your ruining my image, there's a whole lot of people giving us seriously weird stares" Tala added.

"Your image is as important as my foot," I growled fighting to keep from tearing kai's earlobe in two and giving Tala a black eye. The idea was sooo good!

" So how do you suppose we get up?" Kai asked

Tala shrugged looking blatantly innocent and Raven rolled her eyes at him. She turned to Kai " maybe you two can try pushing up against each other?"

Up against each other!?! did I hear right?

OH THE IMAGES!

THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS!

"Umm, I guess it could work?" I replied shakily. What I would do for a gun right now.

"Guess it could work? Of course it will work! Or Tala's a monkeys uncle!" Raven added grinning devilishly, Tala stared at her; obviously the joke flew right over his head!

"Umm let me see. Now Kai turn towards me so your chest is facing Ally's back" Raven suggests scratching the back of her head, in a very cliché kind of way. Kai moved abruptly. 

I shut my eyes trying to think about rink fluffy bunnies. Happy pink fluffy bunnies. I'm going to have nightmares about this for the rest of my life.

"That's the way" Raven continued " Okay now Ali push back into Kai, and Kai first try to push yourself up using you hands and Ali as support until your sitting upright. Then both of you push against each other so you can stand, well that's how it's supposed to go in theory?" she quickly added sheepishly.

"Riiigghht" I reply, "here goes!"

 Kai grunts as we both try to first get into a sitting position.

"Shit!"

"Ugh"

We fell. Surfing had zapped most of my energy and I was the main force behind Kai so we just ended up into the same position we started off with. 

 -_ -" Sigh!

Remember how I said I would have Kai imprinted onto my back.

Yep! Happened right there!

 Kai and I position ourselves for another go at Ravens ummm "plan".

"Hey guys" a familiar voice calls out. It is Mikey! This just got worse! I bury my face even further in the sand.  Where oh where is my gun?

"Hi Mikey! Oh and is that Lee! Hey how are you?" Raven called back her usual bubbly self.

"Good Thanks" the unfamiliar voice replied. And the phrase 'first impressions last!' came to mind. I sighed inwardly this was turning from embarrassing to humiliating.

"I see you've got yourself into a bit of trouble Kai! And who's that underneath you?" Mikey asked trying to hold back laughter but failing miserably.

"Its Ali they fell over each other . . . god knows how!" I elbow Kai when she says this just to help him remember who got us into this mess. " And now Kai's earring is stuck onto Ali's swimmer ties" Raven continued "We're trying to get them to my house but we're having some problems as you can see" She finished frankly.

"Well maybe I can help" the Lee suggested.

"It's all yours" Rave replied gesturing to the pile of sprawled bodies.

I hope Kai burns in hell.

"Right! Now Alicia and Kai get on you hands and knees together, very slowly"

Both Kai and I followed Lee's instructions carefully. Kai was bigger and taller than me so it worked well.

And this time he took his own weight amazingly enough.

 I could feel Kai shifting above we were practically stuck body to body, my legs between his and . . . . .. AH IMAGES =_= ! Never again!

"Now Kai slowly move back to sit on your legs with Alicia on your lap"

Kai slowly shifted into position and I was FREE! Finally!

YAY! FREE FREEE FREEEE!

I could've kissed Lee right then.

I'm not under Kai rather I'm on top of him.

"Yay! Lee You did it! Finally we can get going!" Rave whooped.

"Thanks for helping us out Lee" I said gratefully

"That's all right it was no problem" Lee replied politely. I beamed at him; this Lee guy was so nice! Kai interrupted the Kodak moment.

"If you're done, could we get going now!" He growled.

"Okay Mr. Grumpy no need to be pushy!" Raven stated as she went to pick up our boards and beach bags.

Rave, Kai and I piled into Tala's jeep. Funky!

"Kai what about your car do you want to leave it here?" Tala asked looking towards a black Mercedes convertible.

Wow! He's good looking and he's rich! No wonder he's got such a rotten personality! What a spoiled brat! I smirk, "Nice car aren't you worried it might get stolen" I asked Kai, not realizing I was grinning maliciously. As if I wanted it to be stolen! I wouldn't dream of it! What! You can't pin this on me!

"Yeah she's got a point." Tala agreed "Raven could probably drive it to your house if you want!" he suggested  

" She a maniac! She'll make sure it's a complete ride off!" Kai exclaimed mockingly

Raven got her sun tan lotion and attempted to smash Kai's head with it. Missing him entirely and getting me instead! "Ouch!" I cried

"Ohh! Sorry Ali! I didn't mean to get you! Kai look what you made me do!" Raven glared at him.  Kai shrugged. I elbowed Kai viciously he didn't seem to notice so I gave up, I'm too tired. 

Tala revved up the car and screeched out onto the street. We went flying in to the doors at each turn until we got to Kai's house. By then I was as grumpy as Kai, which is saying a lot! I mean how would you feel if you were wet, sandy and bruised and stuck to a grumpy, vicious, egotistical pig, that and Tala drives like a bloody maniac!      

Tala pulled in to the driveway in front of a large sinister looking wrought iron gate.  "Welcome to the playboy mansion!" he exclaimed smirking.

Kai got his bag and rummaged through it eventually fishing out a mini keypad. The huge gates shifted

Nice . . . . . .

Ok when I say nice, I don't mean flowers nice, I mean hot new Ferrari nice!

 The house is a mansion! With huge oaks surrounding it, I couldn't help but let my mouth hang open, I looked over to what I could see of Kai, he was looking very smug. Tala rolled up to the front of the house coming to an abrupt halt. The car jerked. Tala must be the worst-driver I have ever ridden in a car with I swear!

He must have got his licence out of a cereal box or something . . . He was bloody maniac speeding everywhere, I'm lucky I kept my lunch down. I heard a muffled ring escape from the pile of bags in the boot.

"Someone's phone!" Raven quipped stating the obvious; she's like that Raven, always stating things that we clearly all get. She un-straps herself and pushes past Kai and I, to get to the singing phone. Unconsciously I start humming along to the ring tone, it's catchy you know, reminds me of

. . .crap.

"Ali, it's your phone." Raven said, she held up her prize up triumphantly.  "Catchy tune, isn't it I dream of Jeanie?" she asked humming along herself.

"Yeah, cute isn't it?" I replied, smiling, only Raven could appreciate my choice in ring tones.

"Hello?" I answered my phone politely. I never look who is calling so I always answer politely. You never know it might be someone important.

"Hello dear just wondering when you're coming home." Mum said on the other line. Mum, should've guessed.

"Good question." I say thoughtfully, maybe I should tell her I will be coming home with a boy permanently attached to my neck,

Knowing mum better not, she'll probably rejoice saying I've bagged myself a husband

Defiantly not.

"Umm in the next hour?" I judged. Mum asked me some other maternal type questions,  "ok mum, I'll be home soon, love you too," I quickly reply to some question that sounded like 'will you clean your room up?' My mother has no life when she's at home. 

Tala jumped into Kai's bed, as Kai and I take a seat on his lounge. Kai's room is huge and very . . . Kai? The walls are navy blue and have huge windows. All the furniture is wooden and his bed is huge, I mean you could fit the four of us in there and still have personal space. Ok enough of checking out the room, how are we going to get unstuck? So I can wring Kai's neck for putting me through this!

"Well Ali-?" Raven asked me. Oops I must have tuned out!

"Sorry what did you say?" I replied sheepishly.

"We are going to do surgery." Raven smiled, I cringed . . . surgery?

Before I could interrupt their evil scientist ways I'm back under Kai and they are performing surgery on us. I feel like one of those joined twins you see on TV. Tala is holding up a torch and Raven is fiddling with my swimmer ties. She keeps cutting off the little pieces of string that are caught in Kai's earing, I'll laugh if  she cuts Kai's ear . . . 

Wait I hope she cuts Kai's ear.

"Tweezers?"

"Tweezers."

"Scissors?"

"Scissors."

"More light!"

"Light."

"Tala you're a riot." Kai said unimpressed by his and Raven's antics. I have to agree with him.

"AHA!" Raven yelled triumphant. I could feel Kai pull away from me . . . YAY!

"Freedom!" I yelled and Raven and I did a little victory dance. Tala and Kai sweat dropped anime style. They backed away from us slowly and were saved by Kai's butler.

KAI'S BUTLER??? Should've guessed, what a big mansion with no butler?

"Dinner Master Kai."

"We are having it in my room." Kai replied matching the butler's stiffness.

"Very good."

"So Kai I'm going to head off now and leave you to your dinner. If that ever happens again I'll be shoving my shoe down your throat. Thanks for being bearable through that" I smiled complimenting him on his average behavior.

Kai smirked back "hey you weren't to bad yourself maybe you might be lucky enough to get in on the real action?"

I rolled my eyes at him. Have sex, with that loser . . I don't think so.

"Yeah well hell might just freeze over, you never know." I replied curtly.

"Maybe. Want to stay for dinner, it's past time for it anyway." Kai asked

Wow! Now this is unexpected, Kai Hiwatari being nice and asking me to stay for dinner. He may not be the nicest person or the most easy to get along with but hey its free food. "Are you sure its ok?"

Kai rolled his eyes at me and gestured to his room, "it isn't going to kill my budget." He replied smirking.

"Rave you bumming?" Kai added to Raven who was flipping through his cd collection.

"Hell yes. Food? I'm there!"
