Chapter 5: Is he serious?
'okay, so is everyone set to go?' Deseara asked. They were at Reeni's house and the bluenette had just told them "the plan" for tonight.
'now I'm going to go over the details again. when we arrive at Illusia, go straight to the dance floor, and when the boys try to follow us, we go…um…let's say, for a drink, anything. My point is, just make them feel like your ignoring them. Then….well, you know what to do.' Deseara said.
'wow you love prep-talks don't you.' Miko said. She had shoulder-length navy hair with
thin light blue sreaks.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
'yes?' Reeni called.
'It's Ozuma.' The voice replied.
'oh that's my cue.' Deseara said. She got up and walked towards the door. Tonight, she
was wearing a short denim skirt, a dark blue tube top and dark blue ankle boots. She
disappeared through the door and moments later they heard the car drive away.
'hey I just thought of something,' Adriena said, after moments of silence. 'who's Kai
picking up?' she directed he question more towards Reeni.
The girl shrugged. 'I dunno, maybe he'll pick some bimbo off the streets.'
Suddenly there was knocking at the door, making them jump since it had been so quiet.
'who is it?' Reeni called again.
'Johnny, Ray and Max.' came the aswer.
'well, we'll see you there, nini.' Miko said and got up. She was wearing pale pink skirt,
pale pink tank top and a white jacket that says "I know you love me" in pink on the back,
and high heel sandals. She followed Adriena, who was wearing a white skirt that flowed
down to her knees and had ripples in the edge, white tube top that said "It's All about
me" in the front and white ankle boots that had fur along the top, and they both went out
the door. Now it was only Reeni left in her house. As she waited, her thoughts began to
drift to two certain boys. she never thought it would wind up this way, having fallen in
love with both of them. Woah woah woah…did she just admit falling in love with both of
them? She groaned mentally, this was going to be a long night.
Ding-dong!
'who is it?'
'it's Tala, and Kai, too.'
Oh crap……-sigh- why me?…'coming!' she called and got up from where she was sitting on the couch. Tonight, she
was wearing a short, black pleated skirt, a camo-patterned tube top and a black denim
jacket, along with black boots with white laces on the front.
Opening the door, she found herself face to face with a pair of turqouise eyes and
smirking lips
'do you always have to appear right in front of my face?' she told the redhead, ' it's
very unerving.'
'someone's looking hot tonight.' He replied.
'yeah yeah, save it.' she answered as she closed the door of her house. She glanced
beside her and found Kai staring at her. She raised her eyebrows as if to ask what?
The bluenette just shook his head and walked towards the car.
The drive to Illusia was silent. But as soon as they reached the club, music, laughing,
cheering could be heard from the inside. the threesome got out and walked in. as soon as
they did, music blasted into their ears and the crowd swept them into the fray.
'hey, wanna dance?' tala yelled over the music.
Reeni opened her mouth to agree but then stopped herself in time as she remembered "the
plan".
'Maybe later.' She yelled back and fought her way through the crowd to where her
friends were standing on the dance floor.
'you came with both Tala and Kai?' Deseara asked her as she reached them.
'not even a little 'hi'?' she said and shook her head.
'hi. Now will you answer me?' the brunette said and stared at Reeni expectantly.
'yeah, I came with both of them. Hey,' she defended as Deseara raised her eyebrow,
'it's not like I asked for both of them to come, they just came together, you cant blame
them for being friends?'
'yeah, whatever you say.' Adriena grinned as Reeni glared at her. 'come on let's dance.'
'do they even remember we exist?' Johnny asked, pouting.
'just because they're not dancing with us right now, doesn't mean they don't know we're
here. Even though I'm not too sure about you.' Kai replied.
'very funny, kai, very funny' the redhead scowled.
'why don't we go and ask them, isnt that easier?' Ray said, as if it was the most obvious
thing in the world. There was a pause.
'hey yeah!' Johnny said, 'that makes sense!' The neko-jin just rolled his eyes.
And so, they made their way towards the four girls.
'incoming.' Miko said. They grinned, time for action.
Slipping off the dance floor, they made there way towards the drinks.
'okay, now's the time to assign your target.' Deseara said.
'but theres more of them than there is us.' Reeni said.
'then two of us have to take on two.' She replied.
'it's only obvious that Deseara take Ozuma and I take Johnny.' adriena said.
'i'll take Tala and Kai.' Reeni informed them.
'do you have a plan that doesn't involve what we're doing or are you going for revenge?'
Miko asked suspiciously.
'eh…a little bit of both.' The blunette answered.
'that's settled then and Miko you'll take Ray and Max.' Deseara said.
'good luck!' they chorused.
'they were just here seconds ago!' Tala said as he and the boys looked around the dance
floor, where the girls were nowhere to be seen.
'do you think they're ignoring us?' Max suggested.
'why would they do that though?' Ozuma said, frowning.
'maybe because you're here.' Johnny replied, smirking.
'ha…ha…ha.'
'you find that funny?'
'I was being sarcastic, Johnny!'
'hey look! There's Adriena.' Ray said, pointing to where th girl was sitting at the bar,
talking to some guy.
'that's my cue.' Johnny said and hurried over.
'well, that's one down, three more to go.' Max said, scanning the crowd for any signs of
the girls.
'you mean two down two to go.' Ozuma said as he spotted Deseara dancing in the middle
of the dance floor.
Now it was only Miko and Reeni left, and Tala, Kai, Ray and Max.
'so……who's going after who?' Ray asked.
'i'll take Reeni.' Tala and Kai said at the same time.
'then I'll take Miko.' Ray and Max said at the same time.
They looked at each other.
'meh, that'll work.' Kai said and they separated.
Adriena almost grinned, she saw Johnny and he was making his way over to her and he
was not looking very happy, maybe it was because she was talking to the bartender and
he was taking interest in her. This was just too easy.
'hey johnny.' she smiled at her boyfriend as he reached her.
'what are you doing?' he asked suspiciously.
'just chatting with Matthew here.' She said, gesturing to the guy behind her.
'that's nice.' Johnny said. 'let's go dance.'
Before she could reply, he took her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor.
Deseara was focusing on how to make her plan work and so she didn't notice the figure
making its way towards her. Before she knew it, somone grabbed her hand and spun her
around.
'oh hi, Oz. You didn't have to scare me like that ya know.' She said, pretending to pout.
'well, that's what you get you get for running away from me.' He replied.
'who said I was running away from you?' she asked.
'I did.' He replied, smirking.
Miko looked around and spotted Ray and Max coming towards her. She had to grin, this was too perfect. Taking her time, she sipped her drink and slipped off the stool as the two boys got near.
'hey Miko!' Max called her and she turned around.
'yeah? Oh hey Max, Ray. Watcha up to?' she asked.
'wanna dance?' they asked.
'sure, let's go.'
Reeni almost had to laugh out loud. Everything was going to plan, everyone had found their targets and the games had begun. Now it was her turn. She sat at the bar calmly, watching everything go by. Then without warning, two hands grabbed her wrists and pulled her to her feet, the person prevented her from turning around.
Suddenly the DJ struck up a slow song and everyone started to pair up.
'we're going to dance.' A voice whispered in her ear. He led her onto the dance floor and let go of her. Reeni immediately turned around and found a grinning Tala.
'you could've just asked.' She muttered.
'what's the fun in that?' the redhead replied and held out his hands.
She took it, he placed her hands on his shoulder and wrapped his arms around her waist.
'having fun so far?' he smirked.
'don't be such a prick.' She retorted.
'whos a prick, im not a prick.' He said, continued smirking.
'you're a prick, because I say so.' She shot back.
'I never knew you like pricks.' He said slyly
'who says I like you?' she replied, raising her eyebrows.
'I do.'
'what makes you think just because you say so that its right?'
'this.' The redhead answered and pulled her close. Their faces were inches apart.
No, Reeni thought, I cant let this happen, not again.
Tala pressed his lips agaisnt hers and once again, she found herself helpless to his touch. When she found that she could move again, she pushed him away, lightly. He looked her, confused.
'Tala,' she began. 'I know you chase after girls and flirt a lot, im your friend, I see these things, but why are you playing me?' something inside her just cracked. 'I am not someone you can come to when you cant find any amusement.'
He gaped at her, 'Reeni, why do you think im playing you? Im not!'
'you're telling me this now and yet you'll still be the player you are.' She replied.
'im just trying to make friends, Reeni! Why do you think im with you right now, if I am, as you say, a player wouldn't I be off somewhere with some slut?' he asked her.
'I just don't know what you're doing to me, Tala! we're not going out or anything but you just come and kiss me when you feel like it! twice!'
'because I love you!'
there was silence between them, Reeni stared at the redhead, wide-eyed, as he stood in front of her, silent as well.
'tala-'
'but if you don't love me, then you can just say so, instead of pretending to be nice!' he hissed.
'no, tala I-'
but it was too late, the redhead turned around and disappeared through the crowd.
Oh shit…what have I done…I just lost the one I…………love……Don't worry, the next chapter they'll still be at the club and you'll find out what the girls did to the boys, whats happened between Reeni and Tala, so on.
