Chapter 10: Sleepover(not the movie! LOL!)

Hello! Here's the party/ sleepover thing I promised! Pleaz R&R!

"Here's the deal! I'm having a sleepover party on Friday night. Anybody want to come?" asked Utada. There was a huge show of hands. "Okay, you can all come. There's gonna be pizza, music and of course – sleeping!"

Tyson jumped for joy. "There's gonna be food! There's gonna be food!"

"Relax Tyson! You might kill yourself if you keep jumping like that," laughed Ozuma. Mariam and Joseph agreed.

Tala smiled at Utada. This girl is good at holding social events. He walked over to Utada, who was talking to Tyson and said, "You're really good at organizing parties!" Tyson was mad when Tala had cut in but was furious when Utada blushed. He had to do something about this.

Later on, Hatsumi was walking home with the Bladebreakers when Max suddenly said, "This is my first girl/guy sleepover ever!"

Hatsumi reassured Max and said, "Don't worry, it's just sleeping in the same house with a ton of other people – nothing to worry about!"

"Yeah, I guess you're right.

::: Friday Night at Utada's house:::

"Well, everybody's here now! Let's start by playing Spin the Bottle!" cheered Utada and Hikki. Hatsumi groaned.

"I don't even know why we're best friends – I mean, look at you two – you two love boys, shopping and dresses, I hate shopping and dresses." Hatsumi complained as they sat down in the living room.

"What about boys? You never said you hated them," said Utada slyly. A few of the guys laughed.

"Well… they're my friends," stuttered Hatsumi, who was now blushing under everyone's stare.

"Let's not tease her and besides a lot of the guys want to start the game!" said Ray, changing the subject. Hatsumi mouthed a "thank you" to Ray. Everybody sat in a circle but Kai sat down and leaned on the wall.

"What's the matter Kai? Don't you want to kiss your girlfriend?" teased Bryan. Kai rolled his eyes. Bryan was like a Tyson clone! Tyson slapped Bryan a high-five.

(This is what Kai's thinking in his mind: BryanTyson's cloneannoyingKai's nightmare!!!)

The first person to spin the bottle was Utada. It landed on Tala. She blushed as Tala leaned closer towards her and gently brushed his lips on hers. Everyone cheered and oooed while they went back to their seats – except for Tyson. Just his luck – Utada was being kissed by Tala! He sulked for most of the evening.

When spinning the bottle was finished, they ate pizza and pop, which cheered Tyson up a bit. He ate ravenously and Hatsumi looked away in disgust. The guy looked like he had just been let out of a jail cell!

"I'm full," said Tyson, rubbing his stomach and leaning back into a chair.

"It's a miracle!" exclaimed Mariam.

"You have some ketchup on your mouth," said Utada to Tyson. "Let me wipe it off for you." She took a napkin and walked over to him but she tripped on a book on the floor and landed in Tyson's lap that caused the chair to tip over and now she was on top of Tyson who was on the floor. She blushed furiously and so did he. Tyson gathered his courage and gently kissed Utada who yelped but then reacted. She let him kiss her and when he was done, everybody cheered.

"How's it feel like to kiss somebody who tastes like ketchup?" asked Hatsumi, teasingly.

"Not bad, pretty tasty," replied Utada playfully.

"Ewww," complained Hatsumi. She walked to the kitchen to find a drink. She walked in and found Max kissing Mariam. They both froze and their faces were as red as tomatoes. She groaned. Why was everybody kissing? She walked back into the living room to see everybody carrying the karaoke machine into the basement.

"What's everybody doi-" the hysterical picture of Tyson trying to sing along with Ray cut her off. The room was booming with laughter. Tyson sang behind the tempo and Ray was speeding through the song.

Max and Mariam ran down to see what was going on and joined in with the fun. When Hikki finished laughing, she panted, "Let's have a mini-dance party!"

Hatsumi froze at the words "Dance party". She did not dance, nor did she ever want to. Hatsumi tiptoed towards the stairs but was caught by Hikki and Utada.

"Where do you think you're going? You're not gonna miss out on the fun this time!" said Utada.

"This time?"

"Yeah," replied Hikki. "In grade 8 or something, a guy asked Hatsumi to dance but when she was dancing, he stepped on her foot and she fell into a glass of fruit punch and had to go home and change!" Everybody burst out in hysterical laughter.

Hatsumi opened the back door and stepped outside and stared at the night sky. It was filled with stars and she saw one speed across the sky. A shooting star! She thought. I have to make a wish!

She closed her eyes and wished with her heart. I wish I could be more of a social butterfly like Hikki or Utada!

She opened her eyes and sighed. "I could've gotten a boyfriend…in grade 8… if only I hadn't fallen in the fruit punch…"

Hatsumi stood up and went inside to get some fruit punch and found Kai in the hallway. He was looking out a window until he heard her footsteps and spun around. Crimson red eyes met crimson red. "You want a drink?" she offered.

"Sure," he replied, still gazing out the window. She poured him some juice and offered it to him and he took it. After a sip, he started walking with her back into the living room where the others were playing spin the bottle.

O great, now another kissing game? Thought Hatsumi. She led Kai away from them, seeing his disgusted reaction to the game. They went back outside to where Hatsumi was before.

"Hatsumi…" said Kai.

"Ya?" replied Hatsumi. "What is it?"

"I heard you talking to yourself earlier…" Kai trailed off. He could see Hatsumi in shock, then she turned around in embarrassment.

"Well, I've never been the girlfriend type of person… it's no surprise I don't have a boyfriend…I'm not pretty or anything and I don't care what anybody thinks," she said, looking down at the ground.

"Hatsumi… I just want to let you know… I think you're a really nice girl and you're really pretty. You're really caring and affectionate to your friends and no matter what happens I'll…" Kai trailed off again.

Hatsumi's eyes widened and she looked up. "And you'll what?"

"And I'll always love you".
