Town Gangs And High School Jerks

Chapter Four

Eri couldn't help but think about what she had just done. She looked back on the last episode of her class. The teacher had said that it was just an audition to see if they were cut out to be on level 5 and then he said that Eri had passed the audition with flying colours and could sit outside for the rest of the period doing what she liked. Eri looked down at her flute lying calmly in her hands. Why was it that she was always good at everything? She was good at drawing, flute, math, science, writing, and, well everything!

Someone stirred out of the corner of her eye. She saw kitty coming towards her so she decided to pull out her sketchbook. She brought her sketchbook everywhere. It was her pride and joy. She flipped through the pages until she came to a fresh page. Then she let her hand fly. It drew across the page towing her pencil behind it. The blank page soon became filled with stray pencil marks. Soon 2 narrow eyes appeared followed by a long tail and a sleek body. She had been so caught up in her drawing that she totally forgot about kitty. When she started coming to again she noticed someone looking over her shoulder and jumped while making an "eep!" sound.

"Sorry!" it was kitty. And he was waving his hands in front of himself while blushing and looking embarrassed.

"Oh. It's you." She sighed and looked back at her picture. She had created a panther that looked ready to pounce. She pulled out her pencil crayons and began to colour it in.

"What does that mean?" He pouted while sitting down beside her on the bench out side the music room.

"I saw you coming before so I expected you to be here. So what brings you into my ever disturbed presence?" She asked while adding in other lines and a background to her picture.

"I just wanted to know how you beat Tyson. I mean I know you did something with the wind, Bryan did that, and I know that couldn't have been your blade . . ." He started.

"Ah but you underestimate my power, kitty." She said smiling.

"Since when am I a kitty? I have a name you know. I was in your class for crying out loud!" He said looking at her with a disgusted look.

"Well you never told me and you're all a year ahead of me!!! I'm just really smart. I'm in grade 12 instead of grade 11 because I was home schooled for a few years . . ." Her voice trailed off and her hand slowed down.

"Is something wrong?" Kitty asked worried.

"No nothing's wrong. What did you say your name was?" she asked changing the topic and starting up with her drawing again.

"Rei Kon. And you're Eri right?" So gullible, he had completely forgotten about her being sad and everything.

"Yah." She answered simply.

"So you're going with Emily, Mariah and the gang to the movies right?" asked Rei curiously.

"Who's the gang?" Eri asked looking up at him with a raised brow.

"Well, the girls technically, like Mariah, Emily, Miriam, Cari, Tami, Tani, Toni, Jenna, Lexiel, Yana, Aura and Loki and a few others." He said rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"That's a lot of people. Maybe I shouldn't go. I might just get in the way." She said looking at some tree in the distance.

"No I think you should come. I think you should meet everybody. And then afterwards we're going to the hangout, otherwise known as Olli's parents' café. It's just called the café though. Well that's the title." He said looking at her worriedly.

"Ya ok." She said quietly looking down at her drawing. She tore out the picture and handed it to Rei. "You have it." She said simply as the bell rang. She grabbed her stuff and was out before he could reject it.

"A new friend." Rei said to himself absent-mindedly.

The walk to her house passed quickly and soon Eri found herself in front of her HUGE house. She hung her head and walked through the large doors. Being as quiet as a mouse and fast as a rabbit she darted up the staircase and into her room. She grabbed a change of clothes, a few other things and a backpack then jumped out the window.

She ran across the garden and jumped the stonewall. She was almost there! She jumped onto her skateboard and was off. When she finally got to the park she stopped and took a breath of air. She started looking around for a washroom. When she finally saw one she went in and changed out of her uniform. She was now wearing a pair of huge, baggy, black, cargos with a dark green belt, and a see through, dark blue, long sleeved, shirt over a black, spaghetti strap, tank top. Her hair was now up in a tight bun and being held together by a large dark blue scrunchie.

She headed out of the bathroom and over to one of the unoccupied beydishes. She launched her blade and watched it spin quickly and dart around the bowl. Somehow this didn't satisfy her Eri, so she pulled out her blade parts and began to tweak up her blade.

She sat quietly, every now and then checking her watch or launching her blade. Finally it was 6:30PM. She got up and started heading towards the theatre. Eri thought there was going to be a line up. But there wasn't. In fact there was no one there. Eri decided to stay and look at what was playing. There were quite a few movies. That looked like they were worth watching. Eventually people started coming in. So Eri stood in line. At exactly 7:00PM Emily and a group of girls showed up so Eri flagged them down.

"Thanks for saving us a spot!" squealed the pink haired girl named Mariah. She was a little shorter than Eri, more Emily and Hillary's height.

"Yah whatever." Was Eri's reply.

'She's putting up that barrier again. I thought we broke it.' Emily thought while looking at Eri sadly.

"Jeez have you been taking lessons from Kai?" Mariah asked playfully. "Don't be such a stick in the mud."

Eri's eyes darkened and she quickly changed the subject. "What movie are we watching?"

"Hm. . .Not sure." Was Mariah's reply. So gullible, just like Rei.

"I want to see something scary." Said a light blue/purple haired girl in a dark and scary tone.

"NOOO!!!!!" Came a scream from one of the 3 red headed, green-eyed triplets. The youngest probably.

"You're such a baby Toni. I say we go for it." Retorted the one with long red hair.

"Whatever." Eri said flatly. She still didn't know who these people were but they probably bladed so she wanted to stay secluded.

Eventually they decided on Holes, which Eri didn't mind but a few others were complaining. When the movie ended they headed a few blocks down to Olli's Café. Eri still didn't know who Olli was either. But when she got to the restaurant she found out whom everyone was.

"Oh right! Eri you don't know whom anybody is! Well ok. This girl over here is Miriam." Emily stated happily after they were seated. She was now pointing to a girl with long thigh length, dark blue hair and blank green eyes. She was tall, maybe as tall as flame brain and blue boy. "This is Cari." She said pointing to a girl with pale pink hair and misty blue eyes. She was short and was wearing bright colours. "This is Tami, Tani and Toni." She said pointing to the three girls with red hair and green eyes. Each had a different length of hair. The oldest, Eri guessed, had hair that was almost the length of her back. It was plated in layers, as were the other girls'. The middle, Eri guessed again, had hair down to her shoulders and the youngest had chin length hair. "This is Loki or Lokani." She said pointing to a tall girl with straight, shoulder length, icy blue hair being held up in a high ponytail and steely grey eyes. She was about the same height as Rei, so maybe a little shorter than blue boy and flame brain. "This is Aura." She announced and pointed to a girl with light purple hair streaked with pink and blue. Her blue eyes held some kind of indescribable knowledge. She was short like the boy with huge glasses and no eyes. "Lexiel and Yana." She said pointing, first, to a girl with huge bangs and silver, knee length hair and creepy red eyes. She was just a bit shorter than blue boy; Eri thought they would look good together. Then to a girl with shoulder length, sunny yellow hair that was being held back in a low ponytail and dulled yellow eyes. She was tall too, Blue boys' height as well. "And this is Jenna." She said pointing to the last bouncy looking girl. She had wavy, shoulder length, caramel brown hair and dark chocolate brown eyes. She was tiny, like the goblin boy she had almost attacked.

"Nice to meet you all." Eri said smiling. Introductions were always annoying.

"Yes well you seem bored so don't tell her anymore Emily." Said Tyson laughing

"What would you know Tyson!" shouted Hillary while smacking him over the head with the menu.

"Obviously more than you." He said sticking his tongue out at her.

They bickered on for a while and eventually everyone was into their own little conversations. Eri had actually moved over to the counter and was sipping her smoothie absent-mindedly lost in thought.

"Hi there I'm Oliver!" said a cheery sounding voice, which snapped Eri out of her thoughts. "You must be the new girl everyone's talking about." He said smiling at her. This must be the Olli everyone was talking about. He still had his waiters' apron on and was dressed mainly in a dark blue t-shirt and pale blue jeans. He had hair that was stuck up and bright violet eyes with long eyelashes. In a way he looked like a girl, but in a way he was, more or less, a guy. He was pretty tall and looked pretty well built. He was the same height as the boy Eri had come to know as the school player

"Hi. I'm Eri." With the barrier still up she carried out a reasonable conversation.

"So I hear you beat Tyson. Is that true?" he asked with a glint of something in his eyes, but Eri wasn't really paying attention. Right now she was dreading what would happen when she got home.

"Yah I beat him. He was so easy to defeat too." Her lips curled into a smile and she began to look around.

Just then, Flame Brain and his friends walked in. Eri groaned inwardly. When the one called Kai, saw her he smirked and walked over to her.

"Well I never expected to see you out of the dog house." He said smirking.

"Whatever." She said looking away from him. "So Flame Brain, done anything stupid lately?" she asked dryly.

At first he didn't realize she was talking about him, when he did he was a little outraged. "WHAT?!?!" ok maybe more than a little.

"Che. So now you're deaf?" she asked smiling to herself and being careful not to let any emotion show. Emotions were to be wasted on her pillows and training materials.

"I don't appreciate it when you talk to my friends like that. And he has a name. And no it's not Flame Brain." Michael said looking at her.

Those bangs, those violet eyes, that idiotic hat. He looked so much like her brother that she looked away from him and mentally kicked herself for showing emotion.

"What's wrong? Is it something Mikey here said?" Kai asked with an evil grin on his face.

She didn't answer him and Emily stood in front of her. "Leave her alone Hiwatari." She said with a deadly tone.

Kai pushed her out of the way but Emily was sort of shocked so she fell to the ground. "It's not nice to hit girls Hiwatari. Though you probably hit like one." She said nastily watching while Max carefully helped Emily up. Emily on the other hand thwacked him in the head for touching her butt.

"How dare you!" he spat into her face.

"Go ahead and sock me Hiwatari." She challenged. That threw him over the edge and he shot a good, strong blow at her jaw, which would normally send the receiver flying. Not Eri though, she stood right where she was and turned her head back to look at him. "Is that the best you've got? Because I've had worse."

She was laughing at him! HIM! Kai Hiwatari. She was mocking him! Kai gawked at her. Standing there with that smirk on her face. "What?!" he shouted.

"My turn." She said unexpectedly moving forward, ducking down and sending a winding blow to his stomach sending him flying. "Don't ever hurt my friends got it?!" she asked her voice never once rising.

Kai couldn't even stand after that blow. How had she conjured up so much power? It was impossible.

She turned on her heel and sat back down again. She hated herself. She always started these little brawls. She quickly checked her watch. "SHIT!" she shouted and darted out of the café.

'I'm so dead. He's gonna kill me, literally.' She thought as she ran. She could hear people running behind her. Probably blue boy's friends. Well let them follow her home. It wasn't like they could do anything.

"HEY!!! WAIT UP!!!" exclaimed a voice behind her. It was Flame Brain.

She slowed down so he could catch up but never stopped. "What do you want?" she growled as he followed her.

"What's your name?" he asked out of the blue.

"Why do you care?!" she shouted at him. There was silence coming from him. "Eri. Erin Zelian." She finally answered. "And here's my stop. Bye Flame Brain." She waved to him as she jumped the fence.

"It's Johnny." He shouted after her.

Eri turned to look at him. "What was that?" she asked giving him a sceptical look.

"My name. It's Johnny." He said again. Looking at her strangely.

"Ok. But just because we're on a first name basis doesn't mean I'm all of a sudden gonna be you're best friend. Got it?" she asked harshly.

"Wouldn't dream of it." He said smirking.

"If you dream that is." She said back and continued walking up the long driveway.

Johnny stood glaring at her back until she was inside the house. "Touché my friend." He said smiling. 'This would be one hell of a verbal battle.' He thought turning around to walk back to Olli's.

Just as he got a few steps away he heard some screaming. He couldn't tell what about but he knew someone was screaming at someone else. He thought he heard Eri but he couldn't be sure. He was about to jump the fence to see what was wrong but he held himself back, thinking that it was probably nothing. Little did he know it could be everything.

Well, I hope that little bit of suspense there satisfies you. I thought this chapter was pretty good. Definitely not my best but that's ok. The kitty part was funny. Eri lost a bit of her Mary-sue-ness there. I have around 128 OC's for all different stuff, I really need to get a life. That "if you do dream that is" part really wasn't a very good come back, oh well, I'll think of a better one next time.
