What Goes Around, Comes Around

(From where I left off last time: Destiny is sitting on the porch steps of the Gang; 'Dragons' house/mansion. She's a little put out since she doesn't know anyone at this party and is starting to regret even coming. Rj left her for some of his friends after the awkward scene on the dance floor. John is no where in sight or probably off snogging with that slut Sara She just finished off with her phone call with her mom, wishing her a goodnight. The night is cool and she decided to just stay out on the porch for awhile.)

I let out a big sigh and palmed my phone but felt a presence near…

"Rough night?" an unfamiliar voice. I turned around and saw it was that girl...uhh...what was her name...Mariah, that's it. I smiled and nodded. She sat down beside me.

"Look, not to sound unfriendly or whatever. But Kai is off limits! I have no fucking clue why he was dancing with you and not me!" her face turned ugly, mean...like a dog's face when you just stolen its bone. She continued...

"But if you even try to get down and dirty or even western on him...I will rip you from limb to limb. I'll seriously fuck you up! Got that? Good." she announced. 'bitch...ah so pissed!...She's lucky that she's Tyson's cousin or else she would have been dead by now.' Mariah got up, with a last distasteful glance at the silent girl and went back to the party.

'What the hell is going on! I don't even like Kai! And what the FUCK is WESTERN? I hate these people! Their so weird and complex! This is way too much for a person to take in one damn night! I want to go home! Me? Liking Kai! What's wrong with these people? We were just dancing and was lost in the moment...right? Nothing more...right?'

Destiny was deep in thought and sighed. She sat out on the porch looking into the dark sky searching for the right answers in the stars. She wasn't totally over Tyson's death…it still burned within her heart. She felt the comings of depression and despair surfacing once again but she forcibly pushed the feelings down. Tyson wouldn't want her to be sad. His letter had consoled her to some point but she still felt the ache whenever she thought of her beloved cousin. Taking a deep breathe of the cool night air, she smiled a watery smile up to the heavens as the ache in her heart slowly faded away with the thought of her cousin's happy grin, 'Tyson, may your soul rest in peace and the war within your heart cease. You no longer have to fight, may you rest in a peace you could not find on earth.'

Destiny was feeling restless as she had been sitting here for the last 15 minutes. People have been walking in the door constantly and it seems that the party was just beginning. She didn't feel safe going for a walk after what happened earlier but didn't want to go inside either. A guy walked passed her and was standing a little bit ahead, he was wearing black jeans and a black hoody. She couldn't see his face but the guy had spikey dark blue hair and a shiny diamond stud in one ear. He was lighting up a cigarette and seemed a little tipsy to her. He turned around and saw Destiny looking at him. He smiled, taking it as a sign of interest and sat down next to her. He didn't look any older than 18.

"Hi, you new?" he asked, eyes roaming over my body, still clad only in a mid-length black skirt and pale pink tank top, Karen had taken my jacket when we had arrived so I could feel the cool air causing goose bumps to rise on my bare arms. Her black long hair which had random dark blond streaks running through cascaded down in soft waves reach just pass her shoulders.
"Uh...yea. I'm Destiny." I said not really wanted to talk but didn't want to seem rude. I felt his hand run up my thigh. I tried to get up but he pushed me back now.
"Come on, baby! I know you want me, let's have a little fun." he said while reaching for my chest. My face paled!
"Ian, bounce. She's my turf." Rei said smoothly as he walked out of the house. His hands were in his pockets but his glare made both shiver. Ian let go of me and stood up, shocked.

"Oh...Rei, uh, sir. Shit, my bad. I didn't know." he said as he half ran, half speed walked into the house. Rei sat down beside me with his hands still in his pocket.

"You okay?" he asked but kept his eyes forward. 'When Kai told me what happened earlier I feel like an asshole. I just jumped one assumption after another. I came out to apologize but then I saw Ian hurting her. I'm going to beat his ass later. I'm sitting beside her and now I'm at a lost for words. She's the only girl that can do that to me. I don't feel a need to impress her with the money and cars. What is this feeling? Love? Nah! I just met this girl...maybe...a strong liking to her. I dono!'

Destiny's thoughts, 'Oh no this bastard didn't! First he had stiff me on the invite to this party. Then, he's all freaky freaky with that slut Sara. THEN, he comes out here and calls me his 'turf'. He doesn't own me. FUCK! I need to calm down. Why do I even care if he's all up on Sara. Why? ...because I really like this guy. But all of this is too confusing. I still hate these dragon people. I'm out of here. I'll call a cab home. But I don't know the address for a cab to get here. Maybe I'll ask Karen for a ride, she seems like the only sane one here.'

Destiny stood up, not saying anything to Rei and was about to walk back in the house when someone gently yet firmly grab on to her wrist. She didn't turn around to see who it was because she already knew . "Just. Leave. Me. Alone...please." Destiny said loud and clear but the' please' came out as a whisper. She felts nearly close to tears. Rei was a little taken back by the command therefore let go of the hold he had on her. Rei's thoughts, 'She hates me...'

Destiny glanced at Rei briefly before she quickly walked back into the house. The music was still booming and people seemed to be having a good time. She scanned the whole house and found Karen by the pool table with some other people. Destiny made her way towards Karen and when Karen glanced up, her and Destiny made eye contact. Karen said something to a girl beside her and also started walking towards Destiny. They met in-front of the open bar area.
"Hey Karen, uh...could you drive me home or give me the address to this place so I can call a cab?"

"Ya, sure I'll drive you. Are you okay?"

Destiny nodded and faked a smile. "I just wanna get home."

"Oh, okay sure. C'mon my car's in the front." 'Something happened. I just know it. I'll try to talk to her when we're in the car where it's quiet.'

"Hey Destiny can you give me a sec? I gotta take this call." Destiny nodded. Karen motioned for Destiny to stay beside the bar and Karen made her way into the kitchen where it wasn't as loud.
"Wud up?" Karen said still keeping an eye on Destiny through the window.

"Karen, where are you and Destiny going?" the voice on the other line asked.

"Tala, I'm taking her home. She had a long night and she's kinda pale."

"I need to talk to her, dammit!"

"Look, don't fuck with me right now. I'm taking her home and that's that!" said Karen feeling a little angry by his tone.

"Fine..." click 'Shit! She's in big sister mode. Learned from past experiences; don't mess with her when she's protective like a sister.'

Karen walked back to Destiny and smiled. "Ready to go?" asked Karen.
"Yup." They walked towards to door. Karen glanced around and counted mentally the number of eyes on Destiny and her at the moment. 'One (Tala, leaning on the glass wall with a group of guys talking around him.) Two (Kai, sitting on the couch in one of the more private corners with a group of people.)Three (Rei, by the farthest end of the bar with a shot glass in hand.) Four (Mariah, ever since that dance with Kai, she's been glaring at Destiny.) Five (Angela, hmm...don't know her well. I know she's famous for killing with a passion. She's dangerous.)'

Karen smiled at Destiny; refusing to show her uneasiness and lead her to her yellow 1998 Alfa Romeo Spider 3.0 V6. They were zooming down the road after Destiny told Karen her how to get to Heather's house.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Karen asked slowly, choosing the words carefully.

"-sigh- No...not really. It's just...- big inhale- a lot to take in...-exhale-...that's all."

"Okay. Oh hey! Me and my girls wanna take you out shopping or something. Just to chill and relax. Sound good to you?" Karen said trying to change the topic to something more lighter.
"Ya, that sounds great. But...um...is that girl Mariah going to be there? I don't think she likes me much."

"-tsk-tsk- Mariah. She does that a lot now and days ever since Kai broke up with her. Nope she's not going to be there. Me and my girls are a different group than hers."

"Oh okay."

The rest of the ride they talked about what they were going to do and buy when at the mall. Karen stopped in-front of Heather's house and turned to Destiny.

"Hey, just don't worry too much about it k? I'll be here to talk if you need to." Karen said giving her a friendly hug.

"Thanks. I'll try not to worry. I'll call you sometime." Destiny smiled. 'Finally, a friend in the whole dragon group.'

"Yup, I'll call you before I come and pick you up on our shopping day." Destiny got out and waved a good-bye. Karen smiled with a nod and drove off into the night.
The weekend went by pretty quickly. She stayed at Heather's house till Sunday afternoon, she had to lie to her about the date and all but after that they just had a girls night. After I got home and did laundry and homework. My cell was off since I didn't want to deal with anymore of the gang shit that weekend.

Monday through Friday
Classes and school have been going by normally. I almost forgot about Dragons and everything about them...almost. I talked to Karen a couple of times during the week. Just same old girl talk. She says that Rei was down lately and Kai is just working like a madman on gallons of coffee. She told me that I should call them and clear the air but I just can't right now, not when things are going normal. I told her to drop the subject and she did. She's like a big sister, we talked about her and her new boyfriend, Max , he sounds really nice. The plan is to go shopping on Saturday at Pacific Mall and go clubbing at Tonic after that. I ran the plan by mom but left out the clubbing part and replaced it with sleep over girls night.

Saturday : Noon
I checked myself once more in the mirror. I'm wearing a light blue casual sundress that stopped just below my knees, the dress had straps that laced around my neck and showed my back. I wore my white jumper with the words Perfect across the top when zipped up. My hair is up in a bun with my butterfly chopsticks holding it in place. I left a few strands of hair in the front to frame my face and wore light make-up with lip-gloss. I wore my blue sandals with my silver toe ring. I had my white Nike backpack and inside was my change of clothes and shoes for the club.

dingdong (door bell . )

I opened the door and saw Karen standing there; she was wearing jeans with a red tank top which matched her black hair with red streaks. She had on black flip-flops and wore hoop earrings with a star in their middles.

"Hey girl, you lookin' hot" Karen said with a grin and wiggled her eyebrows up and down.

"ehehe, thanks. Stop with the eyebrows and you looking good yourself." She extended her elbow after I locked the door and we walked down the driveway with linked arms. There was her yellow Spider parked along my street with a guy leaning against the hood of the car. I nudged Karen and raised my eyebrow towards the guy.

"Oh, him? That my friend, is my sexy b.f. I wanted you to meet him. And he's coming shopping with us and some friends. He has really hot guy friends if you know what I'm saying.-nudge-nudge-" Karen said with a sly grin. My mouth forming a silent 'O'.

Once we reached her car, we unlinked and she pecked the guy on the lips. Then they started to suck face! They forgot about me already!

"Ahem! You know I'm still here right? Can't you try to eat each others face at the mall?" I said in a childish voice. They broke the lip-locking and laughed. The both turned to me and the guy extended his hand for me to shake while saying, "ahaha, my bad. I'm Max and your Destiny right?"

"Yup. So your mister sexy, Karen's always talking bout huh?" I shook his hand and circled him slowly 'inspecting him'. He was tall, lean with a very nice build. Light blond locks, free of any product was messy blowing in the warm breeze but it suited him and well defined face. The startling blue eyes were sparkling with mischief but were friendly.

"So? Whatcha think?" Karen asked after I finished a whole circle around him.

"Meh, a 4." I said in a bored tone as I got in to the backseat, all the windows of the car was rolled down.

"Out of a 1 to 4 scale right?" said Max as he smirked. 'I am Mister Sexy!'

"Baby, it's a 1 to 10 scale." Karen said sadly as she got into the passenger side of the car. When he wasn't looking Karen turned to look at Destiny and Destiny grinned while holding up all ten fingers. Karen and Destiny broke out into laughter.

"WHAT! BUT…BUT… I'M MISTER SEXY!" screamed Max.

"Don't worry baby, you're a 10 in my book." Karen said as she stuck out half her slim body out of the window and smacked his ass. Now that, he took as a sign of 'getting freaky tonight' and had a HUGE smile on his face as he walked around the car. Once he was in the driver's seat, he pecked Karen on the cheek, playfully glared at Destiny as she wiggled her fingers in a wave, he finally put the car into drive and pulled off of Destiny's street. Karen knew that Destiny would give Max a 4 even though he is a mighty fione guy. He reached over and laced his non-steering hand with hers, they shared a brief smile and as he had to look back to the road, Karen checked out her man now a very addicting habit. He wore wearing black baggy jeans which covered most of his Air Force1 sneakers and he had on a white t-shirt twice his size but when the wind was blowing you could clearly see his well built muscles. She and Karen didn't want his ego to grow any larger than it has to, so giving him a 4 is a pretty good way to avoid feeding his big head. The ride to the mall was mostly about 'why Destiny thinks Max is only a 4 and what did the little pat of the butt mean -wink-wink-' it mostly ended up with Destiny and Karen laughing until it hurt.

We walked towards to mall entrance when we saw a large group in the front on the doors. Max's arm is around Karen's shoulders and Karen is linked with Destiny.

"Yo, sup?" Max said in a calm and casual tone as the whole group turned to find where the voice was coming from. Kris spotted the three of us walking and lightly jogged to us. Some of the guys followed and in the middle of the group was Mariah, Rei, Kai, and Emily. Karen felt Destiny tense up and now realized the reason why.

"Hey, they're not going shopping with us. They're doing their own thing here but we all just meet up in the front and then go our separate ways. Don't trip, I'll make sure that they're not coming or else me and you will just go by our selves" Karen whispered in Destiny's ear. 'Fuck! I was surprised as much as you, Destiny. What the hell are they doing here? But no way am I gonna let you know. You have enough to worry about. Meh, it's either me and my girls without Mariah or it's me and you shopping today.'

Destiny just nodded and slightly smiled, while inside her thoughts were swimming, 'AHHHHHHHHHH! Why are they here! Cool down girl, no worries, you have Karen here so it's all good. Just remain calm and cool. Wow they have a lot of friends, I think there's about 35 people. DAMN! There are a lot of hot guys here too.'

"Yo Max, wud up man? Hey Karen. Hey Destiny." Kris greeted Max with a handshake thingy, then flashed a smile at Karen while greeting her, and then winked at me while saying hey.

"Hey Krissy" Karen teased.

"Yo I told you not to call me that." Kris said as he bubble faced. 'NOOO! KAREN YOU BUM! The guys behind me heard that one for sure. Your soooooo gonna pay for that one!'

"Aww, thats okay Krissy I still lub ya" Destiny said jokingly with a wink. 'Awww...his bubble face was sooo cute'

"YAY!" Kris picked up Destiny by the waist and started spinning her around while she was squealing like a school girl. By now everyone was looking at them. Kris put Destiny back on her feet but her knees felt like jelly while everything to her was still spinning. Destiny was about to fall back but someone had caught her just in time and steadied her. It took her a few seconds to focus and stand straight. She turned around and saw a guy she doesn't know. He was wearing white baggy jeans and a white t-shit with a Sean John logo. His blonde hair was cut short but the bangs were long, forming 'fangs' that reached to just the tip of his mouth. He's gorgeous.

"You okay?" he asked charmingly and flashed his pearly whites.
"Uh...ya...thanks...ehehe." Destiny was blushing now. 'Oh. My. Gosh. I hope my dress didn't go up too much for anyone to see my undies! Kris is going to die!' Now Destiny was a beet red. Karen came running over with Kris behind her but his back was bent over as he was running and he was saying "ow. ow. ow. ow." every step of the way. When Karen stopped in front of Destiny you could see that Karen had Kris by the ear lob. - Destiny couldn't help but laugh.

"You okay girl?" Karen ask still holding Kris's ear.

"Ya thanks to this guy that caught me before I hit the ground." I said as I motioned my head to the guy that was now standing beside her.

"Enrique! My Hero, thanks cutie," Karen said as she flashed a smile at Enrique. Said boy just chuckled.

"No prob. Kris man, you shouldn't do that to girls that have dresses on." while he was talking he walked over and punched Kris on the arm.
"Yo Rique. You better start running now cuz after Karen lets go, you die!" Kris said while swinging his arms trying to catch him since the red head still had him by the ear. Enrique grinned, casually strode over to the raven haired girl, leaned close to Destiny's ear and whispered, "It was nice meeting you, see you around. Oh, and I love that black thong on you, sexy. " He kissed Destiny on the cheek and lightly jogged to the group.

Destiny was turning 10 shades of red as her mouth fell open.

"Hey, let's go shopping." Destiny said quickly as she tried to recollect herself. Karen let go of Kris's ear and started walking towards the group, arms linked with Destiny. Kris ran up and walked beside Destiny, "hey…you mad?" Kris asked while doing puppy eyes. 'Mwahahaha! Puppy eyes never fail! O.O'

"No...don't even worry about it." Destiny said with a smile. Kris extended his elbow and she linked with him also.

"Yo Kris, we'll see you later k? So bounce." Karen said still eyeing Mariah that was glaring at Destiny.

"Aight, bye ladies." He said and walked over to his group of guys.

"Me, you, Mel, and my girl Nancy are going shopping today k? Don't ask, I'll tell you later." Karen said in a low calm voice. Destiny simply nodded.

Flashback while Destiny was spinning around with Kris

Karen walked up to Mariah, "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Shopping. What else?" Mariah said in a sarcastic tone.

"You went yesterday. It's cuz Destiny's here ain't it?" Karen said as her brown eyes narrowed. Mariah just stood there silent and glared at Karen. "Fine. But you ain't shopping wid us, got that?"

"The hell I ain't. If the girls are shopping then I'm going." Mariah said in a sure tone that she won this verbal challenge.

"You shop with the girls den. Destiny, Mel, Nancy, and I are shopping together and NO your sorry ass can't come." Karen turned on her heel and went to get Destiny while muttering 'stupid bitch' loud enough for her to hear.

Flashback end

Karen nodded to Mel and Nancy. Mel with warm grey eyes, tall with a model's body was wearing a white mini skirt and a black tank top and open toe sandals. Her curly dark brown hair was left out, no product or anything which made her look even more beautiful. Nancy, a shorter and more petite girl, wore faded low cut jeans and black blouse with flared sleeves. She seemed more of the type to just kick back and relax. Her hair so blonde it was like a shiny white had black jagged dyed ends. Mel and Nancy nodded back and walked to the entrance of the mall. While Karen and Destiny was walking past the group, everyone's eyes were on them. Destiny looked around the group and saw that Rei and Kai were also watching her. She locked eyes with Rei for a few seconds but looked away. Mariah came up in through from the middle of the group and stepped in-front of us.

"Karen! You think you're so bad now huh? You think you da shit!" Mariah gave a dirty look at Karen. Karen let go of Destiny's elbow and stepped closer to Mariah so now they were toe to toe.

"Wanna do something about it?" Karen said in a cold, indifferent voice.

"I'll mess you up." Mariah said not sounding so sure if she could. Destiny didn't want them to fight and she knew that this was because of her. She pulled on Karen's arm and in a small voice she said, "Hey, let's just go." Karen glanced back at Destiny and sighed. She side stepped and walked with Destiny through the doors of the mall without further interference. Mariah was about to walk after them but Max, Rei, Kai, Kris, and the some of the other guys formed a wall between her and the doors. Kris wagged his pointing finger back and forth like when a teacher does when she knows your about to do something bad.

"Nope, don't even think about going after them." Kris stated and smirked when her face screwed up in her rage.

"Fuck you! I'm part of this crew as much as Karen!" Mariah screamed.

"Ya, but your a bitch and Karen isn't." Kai said in an almost bored voice.

"ARG!" Mariah stalked off to her car.

After Mariah sped off in her car, everyone busted out laughing no longer able to hold it in.

"Aight, yo, y'all have a good time. Peace out and see all y'all at Tonic tonight." Max said loud enough so everyone could hear. The group broke up into smaller groups and did their own little thing.

While this was all happening

"Hey girls, oh Nancy, you haven't met Destiny yet. Nancy-Destiny, Destiny-Nancy." The girls shared a 'hey nice to meet you' bit. Mel wanted to find something new to wear for the club that night so they went browsing. While Nancy and Mel were in the change room, Karen filled Destiny in on the whole Mariah bit and once again told her not to worry. After 3 hours of shopping they decided to go to the food court and get some food. Once they got there, they saw Max, Rei, Kai, Enrique, Kris, and 4 other guys all sitting around a table eating and talking. Max spotted them, motioning them over and all three girls turned to face Destiny. During the 3 hours of shopping, the four girls became fast friends and Destiny filled them in on her situation with Rei and Kai. Destiny smiled and nodded to their unvoiced question.

"Hey, we don't have to go over if you don't want to." said Nancy but you could tell she wanted to. 'Bryan is over there! He is sooooo fione! But friends come first!'

"Ya, we can find our own table." said Mel. 'AHH! Kris is over there! My baby!'

"No, don't worry about it. Let's go over. Anywhoo, I'm really hungry!" Destiny said as she pulled them all towards the guys table.

"Des, you sure?" Karen said with concern. 'I wanna go but I'm not going to put one of my sistersl in an uncomfortable situation. If she isn't having a good time then we out.'

"Yes, can you stop? I'm fine, let's just go okay?"

All three girls nodded and made their way to the guys table.

"Hey ladies, how you doing? (impression of Joey on Friends) Oh and I'm Johnny. This is Bryan, Robert, and Michael. You seem to know the other guys." Bryan is wearing blue baggy jeans with a big t-shirt and he has lavender hair that is spiked up. Robert is more GQ, wearing black pants but still baggy with black sneakers. He's also wearing a white undershirt with a black botton-up shirt kept undone. His hair is a navy blue but spiked up and back. Michael is wearing silver baggy track pants with a white t-shirt with a blue baseball cap but she could still see come of his red hair poking out from some places. All the guys, Destiny noticed, are wearing a chain with different styles of dragons.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you all." Destiny said and flashed a small innocent smile. They nodded and smiled back. They made room for us, so it went like this. Johnny was going to sit on the end but left with some girl that was checking him out.

-Kai-Enrique-Destiny-Karen-Max-Michael-

-Nancy-Bryan-Rei-Mel-Kris-Robert-

We all sat down and conversations struck up between one another. Destiny felt Rei's eyes on her but she never made eye-contact. Destiny stood up and told them that she was going to buy some food. Karen wanted to go with her but she said it was okay. She went to her bag and grabbed her wallet and cell.

She walked around the food court and found a quiet corner. She punched in her home number.

-ring-ring-

"hello?"

"Kenny?" Destiny asked.

"Oh! Hiya Des, where you at?"

"The mall, look I forgot to check in."

"Oh okay, no prob sis, I'll tell mom that you called an hour ago but I forgot to tell her."

"Whoa? Really? Thanks...but hey is everything okay? Why you being so nice for?"

"I dono...I guess I kinda miss dad...he's been away for awhile." Kenny said softly

"Hey don't worry bout it, how bout we go out Sunday, just me and you. I have been a busy for awhile too huh?"

"Really? Wow thanks sis!"

"No prob, you know I love u right?"

"No! But I do now!" They both laughed on the phone.

"I gotta go now so I'll talk to you later k?"

"Yup, bye!" –click-

Destiny flipped the phone close and turned around only to be face to face with...Rei. His molten eyes were cold and hard.

"So...I thought you said that you didn't have a boyfriend." Rei spat out harshly.

"whoa? what!" she sputtered confused.

"You lied to me and said you didn't have a boyfriend! Damn, I can't believe I liked a bitch like you." Rei said coldly.

-SLAP- Destiny slapped Rei across the face hard!

"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! First off, I am NOT a bitch! Second, I didn't ask YOU to like me! Third, how can you even say that to me when you and Sara were all freaky with each other the other night! And number four? That was my brother Kenny on the line just now! Fuck off and DON'T talk to ME!" Destiny practically screamed in his face then walked off to get her bag and leave. Rei just stood there shocked and feeling stupid.

Rei's thoughts as he looked down at his clenched hands, 'Damn that hurt...but what hurt more were her words. I didn't once tell her how I felt and that was her brother? I messed up bad...damn...I gotta go talk to her but not now. Let her cool off first than I'll talk to her. Why is it that every time I wanna apologize to her I always see her backside walking away from me?'

"Yo we all heard that skin to skin action all the way over here. You okay?" said Kris with concern coloring his voice. But he didn't know who to be concerned about, Destiny or the one the received the slap.

"Just. Don't. Say. Anything." said Destiny slowly, trying to stop the urge to rip off anyone that is a guy in anyway shape or form. She grabbed her bags and turned to walk when she saw Nancy, Mel, and Karen with their bags in hand and ready to go. She smiled at them, glad that she has friends that are willing to back her up, and all four girls walked to Karen's car.

"My house, we'll order pizza, do our hair, talk, y'all know the works." Karen said as she got in the drivers seat after putting all their bags in the back. The girls didn't ask about what happened since they know that Destiny will tell them when she's ready. The ride to Karen's house was kinda quiet except for the radio on. When they pulled into an underground parking lot Destiny remembered Karen telling her in one of their convos about how she had moved out of her parent's house at the age of 17 to study, her parents bought her a condominium and sends her a check every week. As long as she gets good grades, the checks keep coming. They took the elevator up to the 12th floor and stepped into the condo. The living room was a light purple colorr and very spacious. Her placed was a typical living room; couches, coffee table, t.v, desk with computer, stereo systems, lamps and smaller furniture.

Destiny: "Nice place you got."

Karen: "Hehe, ya thanks. Make yourselves at home."

Mel and Nancy: "We always do! -high five-"

Karen shook her head then picked up the phone and ordered a large deluxe pizza. She went over to the stereo and popped in some Usher-Confessions but set the volume on low. Destiny and Mel sat on the floor with our elbows propped on the coffee table as Karen and Nancy sat on the couch in-front of us.

Destiny: "So I guess you wanna know what happened huh?"

The three nodded, so I told them what Rei said to me and what I said back to him. The three were boiling with outrage but Karen was the one that was little calmer than all. "hmmmmm..." She sounded like she was deep in thought. The three girls looked at Karen and raised their eyebrows in a silent question "Well, I've known Rei for awhile now and I know he can be an idiot but he's only an idiot if he cares."

"Huh?" Destiny cocked an eyebrow at the red head.

"Ya! I think I get where Karen is getting at...like the first time I came to the house ('the house' is the white house that Kai and Rei brought Des too the first time, that's like the head quarters for all dragons members) Rei was always the mellow one. Like, he only talked when it was necessary. But he wasn't a party-pooper and all but arg! I dono how to explain Rei!" said Mel as she scratched her head frustrated.

Nancy laughed, "AHAHAHAHA, you said pooper! ehehehe"

Des, Karen, Mel: -.-" –sweatdropped-

Karen grinned amusedly at Nancy and her childish humor. "Anyways! So I don't think he meant it when he called you a bitch. Maybe he was jealous...maybe he likes you!"

Mel and Nancy squealed at the thought! (like cheerleaders) Destiny blushed a couple of shades. "I think you should talk to him at the club tonight." as she gave her friend an encouraging smile.

The raven haired girl looked down at her lap and said quietly, "Ya...about that...I don't know if I really should go..."

Mel and Nancy shouted at once…

Nancy: "WHAT!"

Mel: "YOU HAVE TOO!"

"Geez! My poor ears hurt! Stop shouting! Anyways...sorry hun but you're going no matter what." Karen flicked both of their noses with her pointing finger.

Destiny faltered, "But...but..."

"Don't make me, make you." the read head smiled sweetly as she said this oh so innocently.

Destiny gave out a nervous laugh, "fine...but I don't know about Rei. We might just argue again."

Nancy with laughing honey orbs stated, "No worries, since we all know who would win. The slap musta been hard for us to hear it across the food court!"

The four girls laughed and –props- four-way their fisted hand meeting in the center of the coffee table.

-Ding-Dong-

All four: "PIZZA!"

"So who here has a man?" Destiny asked casually as she takes bite of pizza.

Mel replied first, "-munch-munch- well, you remember Kris right? Me and him have been dating for 6 months now. -smiles proudly-"

"well you already met Max so no biggy -takes a sip of Pepsi-"

"well...uh...I'm flying solo right now. Single life is okay for now but uh...-blush-…yea-takes a big bite of her pizza slice-"

"WHAT EVER! ahaha Me and Karen saw you drooling over Bryan! Why didn't you just say something to him?" -Karen and Mel props-

Nancy is now blushing like a mad women as she glared at Mel!

"So why didn't you talk to this Bryan dude? Is he single?" asked Destiny confusedly.

"well...ya...I didn't talk cuz uh...he was busy and I didn't get a chance to..."

"No...you had plenty of chances. See Des, Nancy here has a serious case of chicken shit in her."

The other 3 girls laugh as Nancy pouts and bubble face angrily.

Karen let out a painful yelp as she was slugged in the arm "Ow! That hurt, don't punch so hard! ehehe but you gotta admit that was funny"

"Shud up! Gah! I really like him but I guess I'm shy! There I admit it! Fack!"

"Don't worry about it Nance, how bout me and you go up to him and you can ask him to dance and I'll be there for support" Destiny said trying to help her new friend.

"Aww! Thanks Des! You my girl! Not like these otha -fake cough (bitches)-" Destiny and Nancy laugh and their fists meet briefly.

"Hey!" Karen and Mel let out but join in with the laughing.

"Yo girls! We gotta get ready it's already 6:30!" Mel said worriedly.

"OH my God! We only have 2 and a half hours to put on your mask! (please note the sarcastic tone-.-")" Nancy joked.

"Hey not funny! -bubble face-"

"eheheheya kinda was but for real we gotta get ready." Karen said as she grabbed the dirty dishes to toss in the sink for later.

End of Second Chapter.

Well, here's the next chapter for those of you who wanted it. It's a shit story but you ppl still want to read it. -.-" Hai, hai…this one is just so much more easier to write than

Highschool Rivals since there's nothing too serious but I'm still trying to figure out the next step. I'm not saying that I'm giving up on my other fic, it's just with all the stuff going on right now, it's hard to write for HSR since it needs planning and the whole bit. Thanks for the reviews. Ja ne!
