Thanks so much for the reviews, once again! And here's chapter 10…
Chapter 10:
A Preventable Accident
It really was becoming horribly like school: from stuffy classrooms, to dorm rooms, horrible cafeteria food to short lunch breaks. The latter was being lived out, Rei sitting atop his desk as he nibbled, half-heartedly at his cereal bar. About him, chaos raged.
Lee was chasing Tyson with something pointy, Max was chasing Lee chasing Tyson, Gary and Mariah were attempting to dislodge Kevin from the ceiling fan, whilst Kai sat in the corner, watching the going-ons, only seemingly half interested. Rei wasn't even going to go into guessing where Tala and Bryan disappeared too… perhaps killing something small and furry… or worse…
A loud bang snapped Rei out of his daze, pupils dilating in shock as he looked about frantically. A cloud of dust suddenly filled the room, alarms going off everywhere whilst, for unknown reasons, the sprinkler system flicked on, dousing everyone in freezing cold water.
Shrieks and cusses were heard as Rei finally realized what had happened: it appeared Kevin had effectively dislodged the fan from the roof.
Everyone managed to get out of the room pretty quickly after that, forgoing anything and taking a deep breath of the clean air just outside in the corridor.
'What the hell…?' Tala and Bryan ran up moments later, watching the dust billow out the doorway and at their soaked classmates.
'YOU IDIOT!' Kai shrieked, turning immediately to Kevin.
The young, jade-haired neko-jinn's eyes widened slightly, and it was easy to see that it took all of his will power to stay where he was and not run, with the additional girly scream. Kevin may have been tough in his own way, but anyone with half a brain would realize that an angry Kai was a considerably dangerous Kai. 'How the FUCK did you manage to remove the fan from the ceiling? You sure as hell ain't that bloody heavy!'
Kevin was standing against a wall before he knew it, Kai in front of him, and the rest of the group crowded around, some more amused then others.
'Kai… settle down… it was an accident…' Mariah was the first to speak up.
Turning, the Russian glowered.
'A bloody preventable accident! What kind of a nimrod hangs himself off a ceiling fan?'
Everything, save the shrieking alarms and trickling water, went silent. Everybody exchanged looks, as if trying to get their point of view without words.
'What's going on up he-' Mrs. Piki's voice long preceded the actual person, the elderly lady's eyes becoming unnaturally large at the sight that greeted her.
Vaguely, Rei wondered if they'd pop out of her head, but chided himself for attempting to crack a joke in a situation like that.
Kai muttered something, undoubtedly not fit for young person's ears as he pushed through the group and left towards the dorms.
'Go to your dorms, children,' Mrs. Piki appeared to be suffering from shock, 'You'll be called later…'
Slowly, the group broke towards the rooms.
Now, this was my final pre-written chapter, so my next update could take a wile…
