Chapter 1: Life Sucks.
Ten Things I Hate About My Life:
I have never had a proper family.
I'm a cold-hearted bastard.
A new family moved in next door and is coming for dinner on Thursday; it is now Monday so three days.
The summer holidays finish in a week and school starts.
My dad's coming back in two days.
My girlfriend dumped me on the last day of the summer term.
I haven't got many friends.
Because everyone is scared of me.
Or think I am a psycho.
10. I've been kicked out of the football team because of complaints from
bastards.
Ok so I guess that doesn't make my life as miserable as I make it out to be.
Well the first point really bugs me. I mean I have a mum and a dad but we're only family by blood there is no other connection between us.
My dad hates me and shows it by always judging me with every mistake I have made in my life and never being at home.
My mum is at home but she hates me too. The only time I see her is occasionally at meal times and if she's there she never looks at me like if she did she would catch some disease.
The only reason I think my parents got married to each other is so my mum could get money from my father, lots of money and my father to have a wife. They didn't marry for love whatever that is.
Second point, well I am a cold-hearted bastard. I don't give a fuck about anyone so maybe that's why no one gives a fuck about me. Everyone I have met in my life has never had the time or the effort to take care of me, to occasionally talk to me. If they did they probably shouted or snapped.
That is apart from my small group of friends.
Ok, so the third point doesn't sound so bad, but every time we have dinner with guests and both my parents are around I always have to act like I know and get along with them.
I have to smile and pretend I'm *happy*. So I haven't ever seen our new neighbours and they aren't really our neighbours. Their mansion has to be around 2 miles away from ours, but they are still the closest well off family to us.
I over heard my parents talking over the phone and apparently the family consists of two adults I'm guessing the mother and father, and three kids, two girls and one boy.
Great, I'm going to have to baby sit too.
Sometimes I could thank my parents that we're rich. I mean because we are rich we have this enormous mansion, so maybe I have a chance to escape from the brats that are coming in three days.
Fourth point, yeah school starts next Monday. Man, I know most people say they hate school but I really mean it, I mean I'm like the most feared guy in school, basically an outsider.
Everyone apart from Tala and a couple of others are scared of me.
Oh and there is another thing, there is a group of girls that keep following me around, like I know many people hate me but they really show it.
It really freaks me out cos every where I look in school there is either one following me around or another one staring at me as I walk past or both.
Recently I've even seen them follow me home whenever I walk home that is, I might have to do something about that.
Right fifth point, my dad is coming home. Well as I already said, my dad hates me and isn't afraid to show it. It's so much better when he isn't around; everyone leaves me in peace to do what I want.
Last time he was around he started judging not only me but also my few friends. It really gets on my nerves, who is he to judge me? I know he is my father by blood but he has never spent more that the time it takes to eat dinner with me.
He goes off to different countries selling and trading things for his company. When I say his company I mean it, the Hiwatari Company is one of the largest in Asia and Eastern Europe, it deals with trade and sales of tobacco and other worldwide investments, like alcohol, coffee beans and sugar cane.
Sixth point, yeah I got dumped by my girlfriend on the last day of term. I couldn't believe it as much as probably you can't but when Sakura told me she didn't think it was working out I was for the first time truly taken by surprise.
We had being going out for six months, the longest relationship I've ever had. I thought everything was fine between us. I don't think I really loved Sakura because I can't really tell what love is.
The break up did take me by surprise but funny thing is I really didn't care; it felt more like relief not hurt.
Ok, points 7, 8 and 9. I haven't really got many friends because of those reasons.
When I was in kinder garden I use to be surrounded by my mates but now Tala is my only true friend.
We are practically brothers cos we've grown up together and know everything about each other like every girl we've dated.
There are Ray, Tyson, Max and Kenny (Chief) and I guess we are close but Tala is my lil bro maybe not by blood but still.
Everyone else stays clear of me; I don't know maybe I prefer it that way. Every time I walk past someone they back off or even sometimes run.
I guess because Tala and me are so close the being scared of thing has passed onto him but he still manages to chat up the girls in our school.
There was a rumour around school that really made me laugh. Tala told me that people think I killed some guy and was kept by the police for questioning when I was off school for a week cos I was sick.
Naturally now everyone thinks I got away with murder, so they never look me in the eye thinking if they did they'll be next.
Lastly point 10, I'm really good at football and I was captain of our school football team. We won nearly every match, Tala at my side and Ray behind.
One day when I came for practice the coach pulled me aside. He told me that he couldn't do anything about it but I was off the team.
Apparently the coach had received complaints from members of the team about me, and they refused to play unless I was kicked off the team, bloody bastards.
So I got kicked out, and as good mates Tala and Ray quit, so now we don't have to worry about practice no more.
Funny thing is, ever since I got kicked out and Tala and Ray quit our school team haven't won a single match.
'Mr Hiwatari could you please come down stairs, dinner is ready!' The head maid called up.
Yes if you haven't guessed already (If you haven't then you haven't read much fics or watched beyblade.) I am Kai Hiwatari, and I am 18 years old.
'Mr Hiwatari please, your mother is waiting!' The maid called out again.
God help me please, my mother is having a diet dinner tonight so we'll probably end up eating carrot sticks like rabbits.
***
'Mum, do I have to go?' I asked as I walked up the stairs towards my bedroom.
'Yes Leilah you have to go, this is the first get together we've had since we moved here and I want the whole family there.' My mum replied cheerfully.
'I hear they have a son that's about a year or two older than you, so you'll have someone to play with,' My dad said smiling as he ruffled my hair, 'I'm sure you two will get along.'
God I mean how old does he think I am? Five?! Like come on, the only *playing* a girl and a boy my age do is one that I'm sure he wouldn't want to see, we wouldn't be so innocent after that.
Sometimes I feel like shouting at my whole family, I AM SIXTEEN YEARS OLD AND I AM NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE!! LEAVE ME ALONE OR MY RAGING HORMONES WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!!
I am seriously worried; I think my dad has the mentality of a teletubby but less developed, and my mum isn't any better. I reckon that they were made for each other, but not in a good way.
'Yeah mum Leilah has a point, why do we have to go? It's not like you need us there.' My brother asked.
'Leon!' My dad snapped. 'Don't encourage her!'
'What? She has a point for once!' Leon snapped back.
'Did I hear you say that Leon?' I teased my brother.
'Don't get use to it, that's probably the first and last time you'll hear that from me!' he shouted as he walked down the stairs.
'Look kids your all coming with us, if you like it or not.' My dad said finally as he entered the bathroom.
'Why can't you two be like your sister?' My mum asked Leon and me.
'Because she is three years old and doesn't know how to fight back yet,' I said as I closed my bedroom door.
'But don't worry she will learn,' I heard Leon add as he walked into the kitchen.
I grinned as I walked through my walk through closet, and looked around at my clothes thinking of what to wear.
Hmm, well it's a formal dinner so I guess a dress. Now it's a dinner not a party so short dresses are out of the picture.
That threw most of my closet out of the running.
I rummaged again through my longer dresses and my fingers stopped at a dress I hadn't worn before.
I put it on and looked in the head to toe mirror that hung on the door of my wardrobe.
It was a black and gold dress that reached just above my knees and its main feature was the gold tiger that dominated the front.
I picked out a couple of thing that matched my dress and was ready within the hour. I walked down the stairs to where my family stood together. Even Leon was all dressed up, probably forced to by my mother.
'Oh thank god you could dress yourself Leilah!' My mum sighed in relief as she looked at me. 'Unlike these children!'
I grinned as we walked through the front door and Leon glared at me as we entered the black limousine that waited for us in front of the mansion.
The drive over to our so-called neighbours didn't take long as there wasn't much traffic. When we got there I stepped out to see a mansion that looked slightly similar to ours.
'Our one looks similar to this one doesn't it?' My dad asked me, 'they were designed by the same architect.'
My dad is a moron, like why the hell would I want to know that? Obviously I didn't tell him that, I only smiled and nodded knowingly acting like I was interested in what he said.
Sometimes I really amaze myself at how well I can pull it off. My brother doesn't have that talent so he looks like he doesn't understand anything all the time even when he does understand something.
We walked up to the solid oak front doors and my dad rang the bell. In a matter of seconds a butler opened the door and guided us into the entrance hall were a large marble staircase led to the floor above.
The butler waved in one of the maids to take our coats and within a minute a tall man wearing a suit had entered the hall. He was a built up man quite like my own father but he looked... I don't know... he looked mean, a man I definitely didn't want to be left alone in a room with.
After him came a shorter, slim woman that wore a tight peach dress. She had a bored expression on her face and when she saw my mother she faked a smile.
Soon after his parents a boy walked down the wide marble stairs and stopped just behind his father.
'Hello James, I hope your move hasn't tired you,' the boy's father said to mine and they shook hands.
'No, no hasn't tired me a bit Arthur, though the mansion will take time adjust to.' My father replied with a smile.
'I'd like to introduce you to my wife Lean and my son Kai,' Mr Hiwatari said with a smile on his face, which looked like he had eaten something sour.
'Well this is my wife Elaine, my eldest son Leon, my youngest daughter Rika and my eldest daughter Leilah.' My father replied.
After the introductions Mr Hiwatari led us to the dinning room were we sat down at the large mahogany table. We started with a starter, which was soup, and my parents had a discussion with the Hiwatari couple whilst we eat in silence with their son.
'Hey Leilah, do you reckon I could get away with skipping the rest of this?' Leon asked me over the table.
'I dunno, but if you don't I ain't gonna get the blame for it.' I replied with a grin. 'Anyway, you can't leave me alone with Rika.'
'Well you got Hiwatari to help you out don't you? Right Hiwatari?'
Kai finally looked up and shrugged.
'Thanks a lot man, I'm trying to get her of my back here, so go along with what I say but you don't really have to do it.' My brother whispered to Kai who sat beside him.
'I heard that! And the answer is still no!'
Leon glared at me.
'Well I don't give a fuck, I'm going if you like it or not!' Leon hissed.
'Fine but you'll pay for it!' I hissed back.
Leon rolled his eyes and made some phoney excuse.
'Is that true Leilah?' My mum asked me after Leon confronted her with his story.
Leon looked at me with pleading eyes, which made him look sort of snake like, really freaky.
I nodded my head; I don't know why I do these things for him. Always get him out of trouble.
My mother nodded and Leon was excused.
'You will pay for this!' I hissed at him when he walked past me on his way to the door.
After the meal my parents and Kai's went into the lounge to have a further discussion leaving me, Rika and Kai.
'Soooo, what should we do now?' I asked my companions as we stopped in the entrance hall.
'Sing! Sing!' Rika called out happily.
After which she started singing 'At OO Ussy Hat Ohh Whoa Whoa.' Repeatedly, which to any sane person would be 'What's new pussy cat.'
Kai looked at her strangely but smirked.
'Well that rules that out,' I said with a smile.
'Come, I'll think of something on the way.' He ordered.
God who the hell dose he think he is? Just cos his dad is so famous and rich don't give him the right to be so rude. But then again he has nice ass.
'Are you coming?' Kai asked as he saw me stare at his ass and with a smirk started climbing the marble stairs.
Rika and me followed the two-tone blue haired teen through a maze of corridors me looking like a total prat with a red face.
After about five minutes of walking and listening to my sister singer her song, Kai stopped at a door. Finally, I seriously couldn't take anymore maze walking with the only things keeping me company is a young lunatic singing 'At OO Ussy Hat' and a fit weirdo that doesn't talk.
I walked through the door closely followed by my loony sister. The room was spacious, with a king size bed in the centre, a walk in closet on the left hand side and two desks side by side on the right hand side, one had a state of the art computer on it the other books.
Opposite the bed was a PS2 and an Xbox linked to an enormous plasma screen television. On a few walls hung shelves filled with things like books, games and other thing. The walls were a soft yet dark blue colour.
Oh god, he isn't going to kidnap and rape me is he? I mean he is taller and by looks of his muscles stronger. What will he do to my sister? She's just a defenceless child who is jumping up and down happily on his bed, OH GOD!!!
Kai must have seen my panic stricken face.
'I'm just going to get changed then we can take your sister to the pool.'
Oh thank you god, I knew you listened even if I don't always believe in you.
Kai walked into his walk through closet, and I thought crossed my mind, Rika doesn't have her swimming costume, is he a paedophile? If he does anything to my sister I'll kill him! Err... I'll let Leon kill him.
After about five minutes of watching my sister jumping on Kai's bed Kai came out and said he was going to the kitchen for some drinks.
I turned my attention to his computer. The computer was switched on and he was logged onto msn.
He he he, time for some revenge! Errr for when he actually does something to me. Ok sooo any of his friends on? YEY!!! Two are on!!
Ok so err let's talk to his friends.
Slit Phoenix Says: Yo man wazz up?
Santa Clause Says: Hey Kai, wots up wit u?
Slit Phoenix Says: Wot do ya mean?
Santa Clause Says: Well you've never used slang before
Slit Phoenix Says: Ye, well I've changed
Ohhh God he's onto me, wait how do I know it's a he? It could be a she! His girlfriend, but why would she be called Santa Clause? Leilah to brain, Leilah to brain, Shut Up! Shut Up!!
Santa Clause Says: You gonna talk 2 Ray?
Slit Phoenix Says: Ok babe wotever u want
Ray Says: Kai y r u callin Tala babe?
Ahhh, he is a boy no no no!! Wait that gives me an idea...
Slit Phoenix Says: Well you know how our friendship is so strong, I thought that we could be more then friends.
Ray Says: Fuckin hell man ur gay!!
Santa Clause: Kai are you sure you're all right?
Slit Phoenix: Ye I'm fine Tala; I just want to be with you!
Shit Kai's coming AHHHHH!!! He he he, dis is soo pay back!!!
'Leilah what are you doing?' Kai said as he started walking up to me, balancing three drinks in his arms. Man he has nice arms.
Slit Phoenix Says: L8r ppl I gotta go.
I closed the instant message box disposing of all evidence. Now I can't get into trouble!! Man he has a nice chest. He looks so cool in that black shirt and his eyes looks so sexy when they're angry.
Wait a second, why is he angry?
'Oh just checking out your computer.' Yes that was soo cool; I knew that you could think of something smart brain.
Kai looked at me suspiciously but then let it go.
'Come on, let's get your sister to the pool I need to sleep on that bed tonight.' He said with a grin.
Ohhh wow, his lips are sooo... ohh... lippy. God I've turned into a freak!! Maybe moving here wasn't such a good idea.
Kai started walking towards my sister, he picked her up and carried her over his shoulder so she started to laugh. Lucky little bitch.
I followed them out looking at Kai's room and with a sigh closed the door behind me, I looked up and all I could see was shining amber eyes.
'I never knew you like my room so much,' Kai said with a smirk.
I tried to look around to see if my sister was around but he wouldn't let me. Kai kept my gaze; he put his hands on either side of me so we were millimetres apart.
Say something clever Leilah come on u can do this!!
''No, I like your bed,'
OHH NOO!!! I'm so thick; now what impression is he going to get of me? That I'm a slut or something!! I looked up at him, his eyes were a bit confused at first but then he grinned.
'I see.' Kai said before he turned around and started to walk down the corridor.
***
I looked back, was she still following me? I'd found her sister but I could find her anywhere. I hardly know this girl and I already think she is annoying. Even though it was funny to watch her melt under me.
'My sissy is vewwwyy bad bad!!' The little girl beside me said suddenly.
I knew I was going to get stuck babysitting.
Were the hell is that stupid girl?!? Ok I give up!
I took Rika to the pool; maybe Leilah will find her own way out. I opened the glass door, and followed the path that led to the swimming pool and water area.
We slowly approached our destination when I saw a figure walking toward us. Soon a girl could be seen, she had waist length black hair with golden streaks that were visible in the moonlight. Her honey coloured eyes seemed be laughing and her black tiger dress showed of her curves.
'Oh, it's you.' I said casually.
'Awww, Kai you have great manners!' she said sarcastically.
I frowned at her, I don't know why but it seems it's an instinct.
About half an hour later we were sitting by the pool in silence watching her sister play around in the water the reached her ankles.
'What school are you going to?' I finally said as I looked at her face, she seemed deep in thought.
'Willow High,' Leilah answered with a smile.
'So you'll be in my class to,' I continued.
I wonder what she is thinking about, before I thought she was a spoilt brat like her brother but now she seems so... I don't know... peaceful.
'No.' She merely said.
I gave her a confused look, she smiled again.
'Your two years older than me, I'm only sixteen.'
'Your only sixteen?' I said in amazement, ' You don't look sixteen.'
'What's that suppose to mean?'
'Well your you know...'
Leilah looked at me blankly.
'Your more developed.' After a moments thought.
She looked at me in anger; Leilah stood up and walked up to her sister still fuming.
I got up after her and grabbed her arm just as she reached the path back to the house.
She turned around, anger still raging in her eyes. I wouldn't let her go so she slapped me with full force. I let go of her arm, she walked quickly back to the house, her sister clumsily walking behind her.
Great! Now she thinks I'm a pervert. I really had to say that didn't I?
I ran after Leilah and caught up with her in the entrance hall, but before I could say anything our parents came in.
'Oh there you are Leilah, we're going home now.' Mrs De Torres said with a smile at me.
Leilah gave me one last look of anger before pulling her sister through the front door.
Ten Things I Hate About My Life:
I have never had a proper family.
I'm a cold-hearted bastard.
A new family moved in next door and is coming for dinner on Thursday; it is now Monday so three days.
The summer holidays finish in a week and school starts.
My dad's coming back in two days.
My girlfriend dumped me on the last day of the summer term.
I haven't got many friends.
Because everyone is scared of me.
Or think I am a psycho.
10. I've been kicked out of the football team because of complaints from
bastards.
Ok so I guess that doesn't make my life as miserable as I make it out to be.
Well the first point really bugs me. I mean I have a mum and a dad but we're only family by blood there is no other connection between us.
My dad hates me and shows it by always judging me with every mistake I have made in my life and never being at home.
My mum is at home but she hates me too. The only time I see her is occasionally at meal times and if she's there she never looks at me like if she did she would catch some disease.
The only reason I think my parents got married to each other is so my mum could get money from my father, lots of money and my father to have a wife. They didn't marry for love whatever that is.
Second point, well I am a cold-hearted bastard. I don't give a fuck about anyone so maybe that's why no one gives a fuck about me. Everyone I have met in my life has never had the time or the effort to take care of me, to occasionally talk to me. If they did they probably shouted or snapped.

'Hey Leilah, do you reckon I could get away with skipping the rest of this?' Leon asked me over the table.
'I dunno, but if you don't I ain't gonna get the blame for it.' I replied with a grin. 'Anyway, you can't leave me alone with Rika.'
'Well you got Hiwatari to help you out don't you? Right Hiwatari?'
Kai finally looked up and shrugged.
'Thanks a lot man, I'm trying to get her of my back here, so go along with what I say but you don't really have to do it.' My brother whispered to Kai who sat beside him.
'I heard that! And the answer is still no!'
Leon glared at me.
'Well I don't give a fuck, I'm going if you like it or not!' Leon hissed.
'Fine but you'll pay for it!' I hissed back.
Leon rolled his eyes and made some phoney excuse.
'Is that true Leilah?' My mum asked me after Leon confronted her with his story.
Leon looked at me with pleading eyes, which made him look sort of snake like, really freaky.
I nodded my head; I don't know why I do these things for him. Always get him out of trouble.
My mother nodded and Leon was excused.
'You will pay for this!' I hissed at him when he walked past me on his way to the door.
After the meal my parents and Kai's went into the lounge to have a further discussion leaving me, Rika and Kai.
'Soooo, what should we do now?' I asked my companions as we stopped in the entrance hall.
'Sing! Sing!' Rika called out happily.
After which she started singing 'At OO Ussy Hat Ohh Whoa Whoa.' Repeatedly, which to any sane person would be 'What's new pussy cat.'
Kai looked at her strangely but smirked.
'Well that rules that out,' I said with a smile.
'Come, I'll think of something on the way.' He ordered.
God who the hell dose he think he is? Just cos his dad is so famous and rich don't give him the right to be so rude. But then again he has nice ass.
'Are you coming?' Kai asked as he saw me stare at his ass and with a smirk started climbing the marble stairs.
Rika and me followed the two-tone blue haired teen through a maze of corridors me looking like a total prat with a red face.
After about five minutes of walking and listening to my sister singer her song, Kai stopped at a door. Finally, I seriously couldn't take anymore maze walking with the only things keeping me company is a young lunatic singing 'At OO Ussy Hat' and a fit weirdo that doesn't talk.
I walked through the door closely followed by my loony sister. The room was spacious, with a king size bed in the centre, a walk in closet on the left hand side and two desks side by side on the right hand side, one had a state of the art computer on it the other books.
Opposite the bed was a PS2 and an Xbox linked to an enormous plasma screen television. On a few walls hung shelves filled with things like books, games and other thing. The walls were a soft yet dark blue colour.
Oh god, he isn't going to kidnap and rape me is he? I mean he is taller and by looks of his muscles stronger. What will he do to my sister? She's just a defenceless child who is jumping up and down happily on his bed, OH GOD!!!
Kai must have seen my panic stricken face.
'I'm just going to get changed then we can take your sister to the pool.'
Oh thank you god, I knew you listened even if I don't always believe in you.
Kai walked into his walk through closet, and I thought crossed my mind, Rika doesn't have her swimming costume, is he a paedophile? If he does anything to my sister I'll kill him! Err... I'll let Leon kill him.
After about five minutes of watching my sister jumping on Kai's bed Kai came out and said he was going to the kitchen for some drinks.
I turned my attention to his computer. The computer was switched on and he was logged onto msn.
He he he, time for some revenge! Errr for when he actually does something to me. Ok sooo any of his friends on? YEY!!! Two are on!!
Ok so err let's talk to his friends.
Slit Phoenix Says: Yo man wazz up?
Santa Clause Says: Hey Kai, wots up wit u?
Slit Phoenix Says: Wot do ya mean?
Santa Clause Says: Well you've never used slang before
Slit Phoenix Says: Ye, well I've changed
Ohhh God he's onto me, wait how do I know it's a he? It could be a she! His girlfriend, but why would she be called Santa Clause? Leilah to brain, Leilah to brain, Shut Up! Shut Up!!
Santa Clause Says: You gonna talk 2 Ray?
Slit Phoenix Says: Ok babe wotever u want
Ray Says: Kai y r u callin Tala babe?
Ahhh, he is a boy no no no!! Wait that gives me an idea...
Slit Phoenix Says: Well you know how our friendship is so strong, I thought that we could be more then friends.
Ray Says: Fuckin hell man ur gay!!
Santa Clause: Kai are you sure you're all right?
Slit Phoenix: Ye I'm fine Tala; I just want to be with you!
Shit Kai's coming AHHHHH!!! He he he, dis is soo pay back!!!
'Leilah what are you doing?' Kai said as he started walking up to me, balancing three drinks in his arms. Man he has nice arms.
Slit Phoenix Says: L8r ppl I gotta go.
I closed the instant message box disposing of all evidence. Now I can't get into trouble!! Man he has a nice chest. He looks so cool in that black shirt and his eyes looks so sexy when they're angry.
Wait a second, why is he angry?
'Oh just checking out your computer.' Yes that was soo cool; I knew that you could think of something smart brain.
Kai looked at me suspiciously but then let it go.
'Come on, let's get your sister to the pool I need to sleep on that bed tonight.' He said with a grin.
Ohhh wow, his lips are sooo... ohh... lippy. God I've turned into a freak!! Maybe moving here wasn't such a good idea.
Kai started walking towards my sister, he picked her up and carried her over his shoulder so she started to laugh. Lucky little bitch.
I followed them out looking at Kai's room and with a sigh closed the door behind me, I looked up and all I could see was shining amber eyes.
'I never knew you like my room so much,' Kai said with a smirk.
I tried to look around to see if my sister was around but he wouldn't let me. Kai kept my gaze; he put his hands on either side of me so we were millimetres apart.
Say something clever Leilah come on u can do this!!
''No, I like your bed,'
OHH NOO!!! I'm so thick; now what impression is he going to get of me? That I'm a slut or something!! I looked up at him, his eyes were a bit confused at first but then he grinned.
'I see.' Kai said before he turned around and started to walk down the corridor.
***
I looked back, was she still following me? I'd found her sister but I could find her anywhere. I hardly know this girl and I already think she is annoying. Even though it was funny to watch her melt under me.
'My sissy is vewwwyy bad bad!!' The little girl beside me said suddenly.
I knew I was going to get stuck babysitting.
Were the hell is that stupid girl?!? Ok I give up!
I took Rika to the pool; maybe Leilah will find her own way out. I opened the glass door, and followed the path that led to the swimming pool and water area.
We slowly approached our destination when I saw a figure walking toward us. Soon a girl could be seen, she had waist length black hair with golden streaks that were visible in the moonlight. Her honey coloured eyes seemed be laughing and her black tiger dress showed of her curves.
'Oh, it's you.' I said casually.
'Awww, Kai you have great manners!' she said sarcastically.
I frowned at her, I don't know why but it seems it's an instinct.
About half an hour later we were sitting by the pool in silence watching her sister play around in the water the reached her ankles.
'What school are you going to?' I finally said as I looked at her face, she seemed deep in thought.
'Willow High,' Leilah answered with a smile.
'So you'll be in my class to,' I continued.
I wonder what she is thinking about, before I thought she was a spoilt brat like her brother but now she seems so... I don't know... peaceful.
'No.' She merely said.
I gave her a confused look, she smiled again.
'Your two years older than me, I'm only sixteen.'
'Your only sixteen?' I said in amazement, ' You don't look sixteen.'
'What's that suppose to mean?'
'Well your you know...'
Leilah looked at me blankly.
'Your more developed.' After a moments thought.
She looked at me in anger; Leilah stood up and walked up to her sister still fuming.
I got up after her and grabbed her arm just as she reached the path back to the house.
She turned around, anger still raging in her eyes. I wouldn't let her go so she slapped me with full force. I let go of her arm, she walked quickly back to the house, her sister clumsily walking behind her.
Great! Now she thinks I'm a pervert. I really had to say that didn't I?
I ran after Leilah and caught up with her in the entrance hall, but before I could say anything our parents came in.
'Oh there you are Leilah, we're going home now.' Mrs De Torres said with a smile at me.
Leilah gave me one last look of anger before pulling her sister through the front door.
