~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kim woke up early the next morning, not able to sleep much, she kept thinking about Kerri and about how much of a bitch she was. She was brushing her hair when Rei woke up.

"Why are you up so early?" he asked while rubbing his eyes, she didn't answer. "Did you even go to sleep?" She didn't answer again, he got up and walked over to her looking concerned.

"Kim?" he said placing a hand gently on her shoulder.

"Sorry, I just, well I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble if I speak when I'm this angry" she said with a sigh as she put the brush down and picked up her liquid eyeliner. Rei looked at her confused, but he said nothing, he knew that she had a bad temper, it's something that made her more like her brother.

She stopped brushing her hair and walked over to her bag puling out a Chinese style top and a pair of dark blue jeans. She put then on along with the locket Oliver had given her ages ago and the ring Rei had given to her ages ago. She tied her bandanna on and let her hair down, she sighed, she'd be spending a day talking to a bunch of girls while the boys went out.

Amy walked into the room wearing a red top and matching bandanna.

"Come on Kim, the girls will be arriving any moment now!" she said smiling, Kim smiled as well. She might as well grin and get through it. They walked downstairs, both girls stopped as soon as they saw Kerri. She was wearing a thin pale purple dress while her hair was decorated with a flower head band. She didn't seem to notice them as she walked downstairs and went into the living room, the doorbell rang and Amy and Kim exchanged a glance as they walked downstairs.

Three girls were standing at the door. One was tallish with red hair that was wearing a white sports vest and black baggy combat jeans she was wearing a golden chain with a gold heart on it and sun glasses. She was standing with her weight on her right side. Next to her was another tallish girl with icy blue hair that fell down by her ankles, her skin was almost deadly pale making her purple tinted eyes stand out, her blue colored finger nails were drumming against her pale freckled arms, she was wearing a strappy purple top and a short blue skirt with long over the knee purple boots. She was standing up straight while looking at the ground boredly. The other girl had short red hair and green eyes, she was wearing a blue short sleeved t-shirt and jean shorts with trainers she looked about 14 at a first glance but one look at her face told you she was 18-22, she was carrying a hand bag that had the 'Play boy' logo on while putting on her blue hat that looked a bit like Oliver's except it was more floppy.

Kim blinked then smiled when she was the red haired girl with the golden necklace. "Rayne!" she said running towards her the girl smiled and run towards Kim hugging her when they made contact.

"Wow you and Johnny are _still_ going steady?" Kim asked as they stopped hugging.

"Yeah, he's so sweet" Rayne giggled. She looked at Amy then winked.

Rayne had been going out with Johnny for the past few years, her and Kim had been friends since James kidnapped them both.

The tall pale skinned girl coughed to get everyone attention.

"Are we not going to be introduced then?" her tone was very strict and she sounded like she came from a grammar school in England. The third girl smiled.

"Yeah why are we just standin' 'ere like lemons?" she asked, she had a loose type voice that was coated with an Italian accent.

As Amy and Kim showed them into the living room, they talked a bit. The Italian girl was Enrique's new girlfriend, they'd met ages ago when he was 14 her name was Rosetta. The other girl was Tabitha, Robert's girlfriend, they'd been boyfriend and girlfriend for a while now and since she was as stubborn as Robert they seemed like a match made in heaven.

Kerri stood up as soon as the girls walked in.

"Oh it's so great to see all of you!" she said while smiling. After the usual hugs and greeting everyone sat down and began to catch up with each other's lives. An hour passed, they'd finally finished the catching up part of their conversation and they'd moved onto other stuff.

"So, Kerri how'd you meet Oliver?" Rayne asked as she put her glass of cola down on the table.

"Oh that's simple, I was in a restaurant of his waiting for my date, who stood me up, Oliver, being the sweet guy he is, came up and offered to take me home because it was so late and we fell in love instantly" Kerri replied smiling brightly, "He was so sweet I couldn't help but like him at first but once I got to know him it was obvious that he was for me"

Kim couldn't help but clench her fists slightly; she had no clue why she was acting like this.

"Aww that is so sweet! It's a proper love story!" Rosetta squealed clapping her hands together slightly, she may have been drunk for all they knew; either that or she was overly hyper.

Tabitha just gave Rosetta and odd look then looked at Kim, "Robert said that you knew Kerri, is that true?"

Kim nodded smiling slightly "We _used_ to be friends"

Kerri smirked "Oh yes, but Kimberly wasn't as _nice_ when she was younger"

Kim glared "There was nothing wrong with me" her hands her forming into fists again, this girl really got under her skin.

"Yes there was, me and her stopped being friends because she was being a right player" Kerri said, Kim glared; Rayne was the only one who laughed.

"Kim? A Playa? Yeah right"

"She's telling the truth," Kim muttered, looking at the ground as she did.

Rayne stopped laughing, "You were a playa?" Kim nodded with clenched teeth.

Everyone fell silent.

"Look I was 7 I had 2 boyfriends you can't really call me a playa for that can you?" Kim snapped, Rayne grinned.

"I knew you weren't a playa" Tabitha smiled slightly, but it was only a short one since Kerri added something.

"That's not all though, I'm sorry to you all I usually hate to do this but you've got the wrong idea about it. Her boyfriend's two boys one from her school and one from her hometown, she set them both on each other. The one from her hometown beat the other boy so hard that he almost died"

Kim glared even more "That's not my fault"

"Oh really then you cheered for the other boy by accident then?"

"I was only 7 I didn't realize that the other boy was seriously hurt!" By now Kim was standing up.

"Oh great your temper s still as bad as it was 11 years ago" Kerri said coolly, everyone gave her a questioning look, "Kimberly beat me up, or started to, when I confronted her about something"

"You deserved what you got" Kim muttered her fists her clenched so tightly that they'd turned white.

"Excuse me?" Kerri asked calmly a small smirk plastered onto her face.

"I said you deserved what you fucking got! I'm sick of you, you haven't even told them about yourself you're just setting them against me!" Kim yelled everyone looked at her; Rosetta stood up and looked at Kim.

"Look, calm down she's only telling the tru-!" Kim cut her off by punching her in the face.

"Shut the fuck up!" she yelled "None of you know anything close to the fucking truth!" and after she'd yelled that she fell to the floor after Tabitha foot collided with her face.

"Thank Tabitha, not the best way but 'twas the most effective" Kerri said as the butler came in a carried Kim's body upstairs to lock her in the bedroom.

"She's really short tempered isn't she?" Rosetta said holding an ice pack to her nose, which had been badly bruised.

"Yes I'm afraid she's always been like that" Kerri sighed before they sat back down to finished their conversation.

About three hours later the boys returned only to be filled in on the incident.

"She what!?" Rei asked

"She went mad, just because we were talking about her a bit" Kerri said before bursting into tears "She was yelling at us and she punch Rosetta!"

Oliver walked forward and hugged his fiancé. "Calm down" he said softly as she cried on his shoulder.

Rei sighed and walked upstairs asking for the door to be unlocked.

As he walked in he saw his girlfriend punching a pillow that she'd somehow attached to the wall. She looked up and saw him, she punched the pillow again then sighed.

"Let me guess I'm the most hated person in this house"

He sighed and closed the door behind him as he entered "Yes"

"She was telling them all about my 'mistakes' when I was little I couldn't take it, they know near to nothing about the truth!" she punched the pillow again.

"What _is_ the truth then?" he asked sitting down on the bed.

She looked at him for a second before leaning against the wall.

"You know about my arranged 'marriage' to James right? Well I used to get along with him before he was violent, but while I was out with him I was out with another boy. They got into a fight and because I liked James more I cheered him on to start with. He started to punch the boy repeatedly in the face, that's when I tired to stop the fight but Kerri stopped me and I punched her to get her out of my way, James had already hurt the boy so badly that he looked like he was going to die. James didn't get into trouble though, I did because Kerri said that I'd started the fight. Then" Kim broke off and punched the wall "Forget it, I'm not going to bother, the rest is between me and her"

Kim continued to punch the pillow ignore Rei she just needed to vent her anger. Eventually Rei left the room locking the door again, as he left he said that she was worrying him in response to this Kim told him not to worry she was just going insane, although he laughed he couldn't stop worrying, he watched her go and fall onto the bed before locking the door.

Kim fell asleep quickly mainly out of exhaustion. Rei hoped that if she self her anger off she'd stop fighting with Kerri. But the chances of that were slim _very_ slim. ~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
