New Beginnings, New Love

Chapter 5

Ozuma and Suki walked round the perimeter of the school and then into the forest before realising it was already 10.30pm and they had missed curfew by 30 minutes, but they didn't care. They were sitting in the branches of a big oak tree, the leaves blocking their view out apart from one gap. They looked up at the stars, gazing at their beauty.

Suki continued to stare up at the stars until she felt something soft on her neck. She looked down and saw Ozuma kissing her neck gently. She smiled and returned to looking up at the stars. Ozuma pulled away and started running his fingers through her long luxurious hair. She tore her gaze away from the sky and placed it on Ozuma. They stared at each other for several minutes, gradually getting closer and closer together until they were an inch apart. They lunged forwards and were consumed in a deep and passionate kiss.

Suki returned back to her dorm, soaked and very windswept. She burst through the door, angry at being so wet and cold, but pleased because she had just kissed Ozuma. She quickly got changed in the bathroom in her usual Snoopy tank top and hot pants. The other girls were sitting on their beds staring at Suki with anxious expressions on their faces. Suki was starting to get a little freaked out at how they kept on staring at her like that. She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a voice.
"So?"
"So... what?" Suki replied to Mariah, Mariam and Hilary.
"So... did anything happen!?" Mariam asked in an exasperated voice. Their attention was now completely focused on Suki.
"Well..." She couldn't help but smile and she started to blush. 'Damn it!' she thought, 'Why blush now!?'
"Oooh!!! Did you kiss?" Mariah asked with very wide eyes. Suki was too embarrassed and all she could do was nod. The girls all squealed with joy and excitement. Suki rolled her eyes at their girlyness.

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

"Ahh!" Hilary squealed as she rolled off the bed early on Wednesday morning.
"Wassatime?" She asked groggily and stood up yawning widely.
"6.30am" Mariam replied sounding just as tired. They all got up and changed in silence again, all too tired to talk. Down the hall the boys were doing the same.

"What was that noise?" Max asked sounding a little worried. Tyson snorted.
"It was probably one of the girls screaming from poking themselves in the eye with their mascara." Tyson said whilst snickering. Ray laughed, but then found himself hoping that if that was true, it wasn't Suki.

At 8am they were all in their home room sitting listening to the teachers usual rambling. Tyson was snoring loudly at the back of the class room and Hilary was tutting at Tyson's misbehaviour. Suki was only paying half attention to the teacher as she was too busy trying to understand what Ozuma was mouthing to her.

"Meet me outside the forest at lunch."

He was trying to get across to her. But she was too tired to properly understand what he was saying and shook her head in confusion. He gave up and wrote her a note and handed it across the classroom through various students. She received it, read it and nodded in understandment. She returned to trying to listen to the teachers babble.

"And finally, there will be a school dance held two weeks from this Friday. Thank you. Now go to your next lessons." Mr Hanningman added before exiting the classroom. Many of the class were murmuring about the up coming events and laughing among themselves. She just turned out the class room when a familiar voice made her turn round.

"So, are you actually gonna go to lessons today?" Kai said smirking whilst leaning against the wall.
"Maybe. Depends on what I have." She reached in her bag and grabbed her timetable to see what lessons she had. Double art, Physics, Chemistry and Drama.
"Hmph. Might as well, they're not too bad today." She shoved her timetable back in her bag and pulled her out Discman and started listening to The Rasmus before turning on her heel towards the art rooms leaving Kai standing there. He stared after her before going his separate way.
She arrived at art a little late and sat down between Mariah and Hilary who had saved a seat for her.
"Hey, where'd you go after homeroom?" Mariah whispered to Suki.
"I was just talking to Kai." Suki replied whilst getting her pencil case out of her bag.
"Today class, we will be doing..." The teacher had started to explain what the set work was to do today. Hilary was listening attentively, most of the class were leaning against their hands staring absent minded at the various art around the room.
"Paper is up the front, get to work!" He finished his boring babble at last. They all scrambled up to get paper and return to their desks to draw the person sitting opposite them.

Two hours later they departed out of the class room and towards the fields to meet up with the others for break. Suki climbed in the nearest tree and got out her planner to see what she had next. 'Ugh... Physics.' She thought. She had to sit through two science lessons listening to possibly the most boring lectures in the world. She was mainly thinking of her dream she had the other night and what it had meant seeing as though she hadn't come up with a solution yet. The science lessons went reasonably quickly and finally it was lunch.

She was just about to go to the refectory when she remembered she had to meet Ozuma outside the forest.
"See you guys!" She called out behind her as she trailed off towards the forest. She could already see Ozuma waiting there leaning against a tree with his eyes closed. This was a chance too good to give up she thought to herself. She snuck into the forest and stood silently behind the tree Ozuma was leaning against. Suddenly she burst round scaring the living daylights out of Ozuma.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" He yelled and turned around to see what had made him jump.
He scowled playfully when he saw Suki standing there snickering and holding her stomach.
"You scream like a girl!" She said between breaths. She breathed in deeply before looking at Ozuma again. He shook his head and smiled at Suki before grabbing her waist and locking her in another passionate kiss. When they broke apart they stood there giving each other idiotic smiles.
"So what did you want?" Suki questioned him after a couple of minutes.
"That." He said proudly whilst smirking. She scowled at him as she was quite annoyed that he dragged her here just for that. It was her time to shake her head this time and she patted him on the shoulder and walked back off towards the school. 'I don't know what it is about that girl, but I want her now more than ever' He thought to himself before also returning up to the school.

When lessons had finally ended, they all returned to their dorms exhausted and extremely bored.
"There's nothing to do!" Tyson whined in his dorm with the other boys. Even Kai was lying on his bed with his hands behind his head rather than going for a mysterious walk. They just had double P.E and were tired out.
"Why don't we ask the girls if they wanna do something?" Kenny asked. They shrugged and made their way to the girls room. They knocked, but there was no answer. They knocked again but still no answer.
"Maybe they've gone out" Max queried.
"No, they couldn't have. I saw them come in here 5 minutes ago." Ray exclaimed.
"Hmm.. try knocking again" Tyson said. This time they knocked even louder than the times before. They heard a couple of bangs and some sniggering before the door opened a crack. Suki's and Hilary's heads were seen between the small gap the door. They were still sniggering a bit and looked a little out of breath.
"Close the door!!!" They heard some one shout. It was distinctively Mariah.

"Errr... Hi. What do you want?" Suki asked the teens.
"Well we were wondering if you wanted to do something? But if it's a bad time, then we can come back later." Max added trying to peer round the door.
"No, no. That's fine! We can do something now if you want." Hilary said with a very big grin on her face.
"NO!" They heard Mariam shout from behind the door and some more bangs. Suki and Hilary opened the door fully to reveal Mariam and Mariah tied up in two chairs with hideous make up and hair styles. Everyone one other than Mariam and Mariah burst out laughing. Even Kai couldn't suppress a snicker.

When everyone had got it out of their system Ray asked.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, we got really bored and we decided to give them make overs." She pointed at Mariam and Mariah who were looking very angry and embarrassed.
"Come on! Let us go!!" Mariam pleaded with the girls. Mariah had puppy dog eyes and looked like she was about to cry.
"Fine, fine." Hilary caved in and untied their feet chairs so they could stand. The boys looked cautiously at the girls, afraid they might pounce, and slowly backed away. Mariam and Mariah were looking very smug now and started running towards them, screaming.

"Shit" Kai said before running out the room.
"Come back here you guys! I'm gonna kill you!!" Mariam and Mariah were running full pelt down the corridors despite their awful appearances. They all ran towards the forest and forked out into their own directions. Max and Tyson went left towards the lake, Hilary Kenny and Ray ran towards the right end of the forest and Kai and Suki ran straight ahead into the depth of the forest. They ran as fast as they could even though they were still smiling. They could hear faint screeches of the girls and didn't stop until they were quite faint.

"Fucking hell, they can run fast even with their hands tied together." Suki panted.
"Yeah," Kai agreed with his hands on his knees whilst breathing deeply. They both slumped on the ground and listened for any sound of life. They looked around, finally realising how far in they were in the forest. The trees were so thick around them it looked like it was night, even though it was only 4.30 in the afternoon.
"Errr... How far in are we?" Suki said sounding a little nervous.
"No idea. I never knew it was this big." Kai added making Suki even more nervous.
"Well that just made me feel a whole load better.." Suki said looking over her shoulder.
"Don't worry Tiny, you've still got me" Kai widened his eyes a little, just realising what he said and mentally kicked himself. 'Why did I say that!?' he thought furiously. 'Because you like her' said a triumphant voice in the back of his head. 'Oh shut up for once!' he snapped at himself. Suki smiled slightly at hearing those words. Surprisingly, they were comforting.
"Think it's safe to go back now?" Suki questioned still looking over her shoulder.
"Yeah ok." Kai grunted and stood up. He held out his hand to help her up. They walked back slowly through the dense forest, holding up their arms to shield their faces from scratches from lose twigs.

Snap.

"What was that!?" Suki whispered whilst grabbing Kai's arm in fright. Kai couldn't help but smirk to himself that she had grabbed his arm for safety.
"Dunno. Stay close though, just in case." He added. He could feel himself blush, but thankfully it was too dark to see it. They carried on forwards trying to find an exit, but found none.
"Where the hell are we?" Kai said out loud. He had never been this far in the forest before and was starting to panic slightly. Only slightly.

Kai's POV

I've never been this far in the forest before. Shit. An exit should be straight ahead but I cant see much cos it's too dark. Although in a way, it's kinda worth it. Suki's grabbing onto my arm, really tightly and she looks terrified. I might hug her to give her some reassurance. What the hell am I saying!? No, I don't hug girls. If possible, I avoid girls! Yet I've become more open to this girl clinging on my arm than anyone else since going to the Biovolt. I hate that place.

Normal POV

They carried on walking straight ahead retracing their steps and finally they saw some light up ahead, and the trees were starting to thin. They both sighed in relief and hurried out. They were a bit embarrassed about being scared by the forest and walked silently back up to their dorms. Suki stood outside hers and heard shouting from inside. They hadn't caught up with the others and were shouting to the room.

"Hey Kai, Is it okay if I stay in your dorm for a while? I don't think they've cooled down completely yet..." Suki said whilst staring up into his crimson eyes.
"Sure whatever," Kai said whilst drowning in her midnight blue whirl pools. He snapped himself out of it and entered his room. Tyson and Max had already returned and were playing on their xbox.
"Managed to escape then?" Max said not taking his eyes off the game.
"Yeah," They said in unison. They both blushed slightly and Kai turned away and Suki looked at the floor.
"Remind to never get on the wrong side of them again." Tyson said whilst shaking his head.
