Believe it or Not- Chapter 2: the FLOWER scene...

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

- ...............................................-

Do you ever look at those beautiful mansions and wish it were yours? Where kids live in complete relaxation and have everything you could ever want; taking it all for granted?

Celina just happened to be one of those people.

As well as all the people in that rich private school, living in neighborhoods surrounded by high class stuff.

But Rikku wasn't one of them, was she?

Now THAT is the source of all the problems...

"Oh. My. God. Selina, you like, totally have to hear this..." said Brittany, one of Selina's gang friends.

"We're serious you'll absolutely freak!" said Jessica. Marissa nodded in agreement.

(Both were her gang friends too).

Selina sighed in annoyance. "What the hell do you guys want? Can't you see I'm having a manicure!?"

Marissa put a hand on her hand. "Selina, you'll want to hear this."

Selina suddenly sat up, serious. It must've been important, if Marissa agreed too, because she was the girl in the whole group, not including herself that had the most common sense. "Fine, but hurry it up."

"Well," started Jessica, 'On our way home, we saw Gippal and Rikku talking to each other. We couldn't hear the beginning parts of the conversation, but we did hear the end."

"Yeah," continued on Brittany, "Rikku's...going to live with Gippal."

"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!" yelled Selina angrily. "THAT FUCKIN --- "

"Selina I have a plan" said Jessica quietly.

"IT'D BETTER BE A GOOD ONE! I'm gonna kill her..."

Jessica leaned over and whispered the 'plan'. After she was done, a slow smirk appeared on Selina's face. "Yes," she started, "That IS a good idea."

Selina certainly was going to take her chances, because this "Rikku" was going to ruin her relationship with Gippal. She and Gippal had been friends since they were small, and his mother and her mother were friends too. No one messes with her man...

Gippal and Rikku...

"What...what do you mean you live with me?" he asked surprised. Rikku just smiled her innocent smile. "No way is this going to happen!" with that, he ran home as fast as his legs could carry him, not looking behind.

SLAM

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" yelled Gippal.

"Yes, dear, what is it?"

"Is Rikku really going to stay here with us?"

"Hmm? It's not a big deal – only a month..."

Gippal threw his hands in the air. "With HER?"

His mom put her keys and her cell phone into her purse. "Yes, with Rikku." Her cell phone rang. She took it out from her purse impatiently. "Yes...yes...oh really? Hmm...okay, I'll be there in 10 minutes, don't you worry Seikawa...I'll be there."

Gippal rolled his eyes. He just hated it when his mom put on a façade, acting she had everything under control, when he was in a horrible situation here.

"Okay, bye Seikawa!" She put her cell back into her purse, and then zipped it up. Then she went upstairs and got down her luggage. "Where's my hat?" she asked impatiently.

"Mom! We have something important to talk about! --- Where are you going?" Gippal exclaimed.

As his mom buttoned up her Dior coat, and put on her white velvety Chanel gloves, she said, "A business trip...please tell Rikku I'm sorry. Bye the way, where is she, Gippal?" She suddenly spotted her pearl cotton Ralph Lauren expensive hat on one of the hangers and made a dash for it. "Gippal, get Rikku!" she said hurriedly.

He looked at her. "I locked her out." He said simply.

"You...what!?"

"I didn't know you where expecting her. She might've been a stalker, the way she was following me."

She mumbled something as Wei, the house keeper opened the entrance door for her. She gave Wei an appreciative smile. "Thank-you, Wei." Wei nodded and smiled back. "Have a nice flight, ma'am."

"Rikku!" she called out, searching for Rikku.

Gippal saw a emerald-eyed girl skip towards his mom. There was a bunch of lavenders and a rose stuck to her hair. She walked over, beaming.

Gippal's mother reached out, hugging her. "I'm terribly sorry, something came up sweetie..."she trailed off.

"It's okay." Rikku grinned. The rose fell out of her hair.

"And Gippal is really sorry too, locking you out like that. "Rikku glanced at him. He glowered back at her.

"Err...its really okay, and your garden is ever so beautiful." She paused. "Go on, have a safe trip!"

"Yes, I will." She said, giving Rikku one last hug, and skirted off in a black limo waiting outside.

"May I unpack?" she smiled cutely, showing her teeth. That (for some reason) made Gippal blush, and then he looked at the flowers on her head.

"What the..."

"They're flowers." She said simply. "Can I unpack, please?" she gestured toward her green suitcase.

"Duh, I know they're flowers. But why?..." he said, completely ignoring her last sentence.

Rikku's green eyes looked confused, like she couldn't understand what was so strange. "Because I like flowers."

Gippal was about to say something, when...

He saw her do something that left him speechless, caught him off guard,

Rikku picked up the rose that had fallen on the found. She looked, and examined it with so much care you would've mistaken it for a human being...

Then ever so carefully, she brought the blossom, petals and all, to her lips and kissed it gently.

It was so strange...so beautiful...maybe because of the sunshine spilling on top of her head...or maybe because of the lovely surroundings...it shook his mind. It was like a beautiful picture, worth millions, maybe billions of dollars.

It was sweet...so sweet...

The whole world could've melted there.

Oh no. Why was he thinking this?

Gippal shook his head. ))Stop it, Gippal, snap outta it...((

Rikku walked over to her suitcase, still holding the rose. "May I unpack?" she repeated again, like nothing happened.

"Whatever," Gippal said, rubbing the back of his head. He was trying to maintain his cool, but really his insides were bursting with awe.

))What...was that....((

Rikku worked happily at her history homework. This was just tooo freakin' easy. Suddenly she heard a bang as the f ront door closed shut --- 'He wasn't going to spend the night at his friend's house if she was in the house too' was what Gippal said, after his mom called and said that she wasn't going to come back until a month.

She was really proud of herself after the "flower scene". She smiled --- but not like one of her innocent, happy-go-lucky smiles, it was rather a mischievous smile, with 5 teaspoons of evilness mixed.

Not like her? Damn right you are.
