*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Have you thought of anything yet?" Asked Tala, by now thoroughly bored. Kai and him were sitting in Starbucks, trying to think of a prank to play on Hael. They had each had a few ideas, but had dismissed them, whatever it was that they were going to do, it had to be big.
Kai shrugged, then shook his head.
"Not yet." He growled, "But, if it is gonna be good, then we have to get her to trust us. Why don't ya ask her out on a date or something." He said.
"No way! It was your idea to prank that freaky chick, so you can date her, I'll think something up." Tala said in a final tone. Kai growled, it was going to be hard seeing as over the last week he and Tala had made her school life as hard as possible. They had tripped her in the corridors once, and stolen her books, made fun of her rag-tag appearance and terrible colour coordination and generally acted like bullies normally did. She never seemed to react though, she wouldn't say a word to either of them, the time they had tripped her, she had merely picked herself up, and carried on, ignoring their laughs, all in all, she had made them look like the foolish ones because whatever they tried she did nothing, she never spoke to them, and she never cried.
"Fine!" Spat Kai, Tala would probably think up something far more wicked anyway. He stood, it was Saturday, and it was only about 1 o'clock, he grabbed his keys to his dark blue Porsche Boxter and stormed out, he knew where Hael lived because they had followed her home, stepping on her heels all the way a few days ago.
"Heh, good luck." Said Tala, with a mocking tone in his voice.
"Shut up!" Snarled Kai, "You better think of something fast!" And then he left.
It wasn't too far to Hael's home, only a few blocks, when he arrived he looked at the house; it was nothing special, it had a garden which surrounded the whole building, it was made from red brick, and looked a little tatty in places, paint was peeling from the dark green front door.
The first thing he noticed though was the smell, the air was thick with the heavy scent of flowers, they were everywhere, the overpowering sweet stench of them making him cough. The entire garden had clearly been tilled, and turned into one massive flowerbed, filled with flowers of all colours and breeds, roses, tulips, sweet peas, lilies, and many more coiled and twisted together elegantly all over the ground. Even the red brick was almost completely covered by blooming vines and creepers, sporting just as many buds and exotic colours as the plants beneath them.
Kai gingerly walked up the cobblestone path to the front door, leaves and stems spilling onto the concrete, so he had to step over them. When he finally did reach the door, he tugged sharply on the old fashioned bell pull, and waited patiently.
After a while a woman, who looked like she was in her early forties opened the door, her bronze hair denoted that she was Hael's mother, but unlike Hael, she was quite pretty. She smiled at Kai, with a slightly confused look on her face.
"Uhh, can I help you? If you're selling anything then I'm afraid I'm not interested." She said.
"No, I'm not, I came here to see Hael." Kai said hurriedly.
The woman blinked, and stared at Kai, she looked him over, clearly greatly surprised.
"R-really?" She said, but before he could reply she smiled. "Well, that's great, really great! Come in!" she said, beaming now. She ushered him inside, and led him up a flight of creaky wooden stairs.
"She's in her room, its just up here." She nattered away. Kai merely grunted in response.
The woman had stopped and knocked loudly on a door, there was music playing inside, it sounded like The Offspring.
"Hael, Honey, there is a young man here to see you." She called. Te music stopped.
"Come in." came the voice from inside. The woman opened the door and then stood aside and let Kai pass, then she closed it behind him, her foot steps faded away down the corridor.
Kai looked at her, she had her back to him and was just closing a weird looking book, which appeared to have no title.
"What are you doing here Kai?" She asked without turning around.
Surprised she had known it was him, he managed to gather himself enough to respond, he opened his mouth, and then realised he had no idea what to say, he had to gain her trust, but how?
He decided that sounding meek, and exceedingly sorry might do the trick.
"Well, uh, I came here to apologise for me and Tala, we have been out of order." He said.
"Mmm." She said, sounding disinterested.
"So, to make it up to ya, do you wanna go out to dinner or something tomorrow night ?"
She stood up, turning to face him, her bare eyes boring into him, vacant as if she wasn't really looking at him, but at something over his shoulder. As she stood there, he once again noticed what a fantastic figure she had, as he had on the first day he met her, but from the clothes she sometimes wore, you would hardly notice it, but she was wearing a bright orange fitted T-shirt, and black jeans, although they flaunted her body, the colours really clashed with her hair and eyes.
"What do you really want, Kai ?" She said, not accusingly, but as if she generally wanted to know, "I know people like you, I've known people like you all my life, and I know that people like you wouldn't just do this unless it would humiliate a person like me."
"I swear, just dinner, I'll pay, I'll drive, all you have to do is sit there, you don't even have to talk to me." He promised, he was telling the truth, he wanted to get her to trust him fully before he and Tala pulled the prank. After a pause, she sighed.
"Alright, I suppose my life can't get any more worse."
Kai didn't know why she thought her life was so bad, at least she lived with her mother, his parents had died when he was young, so he lived alone in the family mansion that he had inherited.
"Ok, I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight." He said, before he turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Hael still stood there after he had gone, listening to his steps recede into silence, then a powerful engine revving in the driveway and pulling away. Suddenly her heart rate sped up, and she couldn't help smiling a little. Even if this was a joke, even if he still hated her, this was still the first date she had ever been on. She picked up the phone next to her bed, and dialled in the number.
"Hello?"
"Emily." Said Hael.
"Oh, hi, what's up?" Asked Emily.
"Kai.....well, he just..."
"What did he do to you?! This really has gone far enough, you have got to tell someone about him, if you don't, I will!"
"Emily, calm down, he didn't do anything, apart from....well, he's asked me out on a date."
There was the sound of a mouth opening and closing at the other end, until Emily was finally able to form the correct word.
"Y-you said, n-no, right ?" She stuttered.
"I said, yes."
"Are you insane?! This is Kai! KAI! He'll....I dunno what he'll do, but its gonna be bad!"
"He sounded pretty sincere. Either way, I'm going, he said He'll pick me up at eight, so I need your help. Can you and Mariah come round at about seven and give me a hand, this is my first date and I wanna look nice, you know I'm shit at makeup."
There was a resigned sigh from the other end.
"Alright, but I don't like this, its bound to be bad...."
Hael smiled, and after saying goodbye hung up and lay back on her bed, she smiled to herself, but like all her smiles they were short lived. Her mind ran over what her life would be like, if only she hadn't been born the way she had, she dreamed of how she would be accepted. With those wild fantasies in mind, she drifted off to sleep.
Wild-Roze: Short I know, crap I know. R&R, sorry bout the late update, I seem to be drifting further and further away from my computer......*sigh* Aaaaanyway, in the nxt chapter u'll find out why Hael's life is a misery, and what she has to say is gonna make Kai change his mind bout her. K, well, see that pretty ikkle button down there? Pleeeze press it and leave a nice review ^_^, bai.
