CH.3

Problems with Additions and Tom's Idea

"Hey, Ray!" A guy with shaggy dirty blonde hair yelled while running up with his skateboard in hand. He was wearing long baggy khaki pants with a black Independent shirt and a white long sleeve underneath. He didn't have a jacket like everyone else but looked pretty warm in the shirt. " Hey Austin, what's the rush? " Ray asked the guy while he helped him to stand from his panting frenzy. "Jeeze, do you know how hard you are to track? No matter just wondering if we were going to go to the skate park or if you had practice." He asked while standing up properly then glanced at Tom and gave him a weird look. Ray obviously noticed his look and quickly answered, " sorry man, but we're going to have try outs for the new dance leader, and his name's Tom Denray." He looked down but then cheered up quickly while saying, "Hey it's all good. Besides I need to do some stuff today and maybe I'll come and see the try outs." He started off while going in the direction of the lockers. "Who was he?" Tom asked while they walked down to their next class together. " Who Austin? He's a good friend we grew up together. He's a skater type of guy you know? Laid back, don't care attitude? Yea that describes him." Ray gave a chuckle to the description, and opened the class door to Pre-Algebra while walking in and seating himself near the back with Kai and Tala at his side, and soon came Tom who was in back.

Kai had started to talk angrily about something to Tala and Tom couldn't help but listen. " I'm telling you this girl is impossible. I thought for once I'd be nice to the new kid and she totally blew me off. And started to jabber about what happened this morning between us, and said I was a psycho. Oh and when I tried to forget about that, and help her out by showing her the science building she had the nerve to say that I was nosy and that I had the nerve to be nosy over her 'personal' stuff." He said in a snarled down whisper while shoving things in and out of his bag. "Well looks like you have your work cut out for you. Hey, how 'bout we play a little game." Tala asked with a smirk plastered to his face. Kai knew that look all to well and started to feel a little uneasy himself, until he realized it was Tala his absolute best friend. "What do you have in mind?" he asked with a sly look on his face and Tom knew that what ever they were planning wouldn't be good for whoever it was. "I'll tell you after class." Tala answered while taking out his pre-al. book.

~*~After Pre-Al.~*~

Tala and Kai walked over to a bench outside and sat down for a moment and started to talk. "Ok, I give you a challenge." Tala said with a smirk still on his face. "Ok, what is it? I can take any thing you throw at me." Kai answered him knowing very well that Tala was good at these things but thought if he played it cool, nothing bad would happen. Well at least not as bad as it could get. Tala started to look around and it looked like he found what he was looking for when a gleam of light brightened his eyes. "Isn't that the girl that gave you a hard time earlier?" He questioned and Kai's stomach fell. He could already read what was going threw Tala's mind. "Yes, why?" He asked with a little bit of hesitation. "Because, if you can get her to go out with you and really fall for you hard and keep her until the Christmas ball is done and over with then I'll give you one thousand dollars." He looked at him in astonishment that he would make my worst nightmare come true. He may have only met her this morning but he felt as though she could torment me like no other could. But being Kai he could not fall back on his pride so he did the only thing he could do. " Ok, I thought you would make it harder Tala." Tala snorted and added, "Don't forget she isn't like any other girl Kai. She's harder and isn't tamed yet like the others. Keep that in mind." They both got up and walked over to where Miya was. She was with Tom and they were both at her locker talking and it looked like she was arguing with him. But it also looked like she was winning which was a funny sight to the boys.

"You are crazy! I am NOT going to do it. And if you think you can convince me then you really ARE crazy." I got off my little soapbox speech just in time for me to see Kai come walking up to me with some other guy that had red hair. I rolled my eyes while slamming my locker and tried to get threw Tom's body since I was backed up into a corner of lockers. But to my fortune luck wasn't on my side today. Come to think of it, it never was on my side. Kai was coming this way and I couldn't get past Tom with out making him move in which the word make means to shove; push; or punch / kick him away. And if I did that then Kai would deffinitely know I was trying to get away from him and his friend. But mostly him. Tom must not have seen my eyes looking around for an exit since he was still rambling about that stupid leader for his friend's dance team. Tom must have not of told them about me, I was certain of it. Since people hadn't encircled me in a crowd yet. Yep, that's what happens when you're the leader who lead the American Dance Team or the 'ADT' to the Nationals and winning the gold. But it wasn't an accident when I slipped and fell, braking my ankle. How did I know? Hmm, that's cause' I saw the girl from the other team purposely put some type of slime gunk on the stage floor before we went on. I couldn't do anything before the dance to stop it and clean it up. By the time I had actually made sure it wasn't my imagination we were almost half way in position. So instead of letting Maria and Jeremi take the fall, I put me and Derek there instead. He only got one bruise and me. Heh', I got token off the team for a broken ankle.

So it pretty much ended up with a bad ending. "So look who it is. Tom am I right?" The red head asked with a gleam in his eyes. And I didn't like the look, not one bit. " Yeah, you've got it right. What are you doing here I thought you were supposed to be going the other way, Tala? And what about you Kai?" Tom asked while raising a blonde colored slate eyebrow. I turned to from the red head and caught Kai's eyes staring at me. He smirked then looked back towards his friend, whose name was Tala. Or at least that's what Tom called him. "Well it just so happens that me and Kai have a free period. We get one every day, and so do you guys. They switch everyday so, when do you guys have yours?" He asked with a little too much curiosity for me to handle. So I busted in. " We have it right now. What's it matter to you when we have it?" I asked bitterly while bending back a little so that I was leaning on the locker bin. " Wow, you seem feisty, well I guess you should be since we didn't introduce our selves properly. My name is Tala Valkov, and this over here is Kai Hiwatari." He swayed his hand over to wonder boy and I instantly knew this wasn't going to be a pretty time already. "Hmm, I don't care who you are. I didn't ask for an introduction, I asked why you wanted to know our schedule." I replied with a snarl and a piercing eyes that I knew he couldn't stare down. "Well still the attitude," he said with a smirk, it wasn't a smirk of triumph but a smirk of amusement. Which really made me pissed. I was about to say something else but wonder boy interrupted my thought of mind. "Hmm, she's always like that Tala. Am I right Tom?" I looked over at Tom who looked like a deer in headlights. He stayed quiet before giving me that instinctive look that we needed to talk. "Hey guys, hold on for a minuet I need to talk to Miya." Yep, he was not happy with me. But at the time I didn't care, he was my best and my only real friend besides Kitsune. But she doesn't really count since he's a fox. And he was not helping me out in this battle, I'm not saying I need help but he's normally there to back me up. "We do? I don't see anything to talk about." I finally was fed up with this so after saying that I stomped off in the direction of the gym. "Babes! C'mon,.Babes!" I could hear Tom calling my name but kept on walking until I got to the gym.

I walked threw the swinging doors and into the warm air from the heaters. I skid my feet along the basketball wood floor and stopped at a window. The room inside had walls made of mirrors. And around it was wooden railing. My eyes started to gleam it was a dance room! Oh I am so happy I had thought they hadn't had one here. Guess I was wrong, I thought as I walked through the room and shut the door behind me. I looked around my surroundings and saw a radio boom box. I once again was happy. I always used to practice when I was mad. But that was before we got our new house. I mean we have a dance room, but I haven't had time to use it yet. I crouched down and looked for the on button. Seeing it I pressed it and started to fiddle with the dial. It was fuzzy then would come clear and I would lose it again. Getting frustrated I tried one more time and it worked. Much to my surprise. I soon was blaring the music, when my favorite song came on. Gotta Get Threw This, yep, it came on and I blared it full blast and happily swung off my white independent sweatshirt. While pulling down my black shirt, that, like always stayed mid-drift high. I got into the center of the floor and bowed my head while clasping my hands around my legs. It was part of our old routine when I was in dance. It was my favorite routine, so I was happy it was this song that came on so I could do it. I started with the twirling around then started with a lot of feet movement. I stopped after about what seemed like 5 min. and heard a sound of clapping which made me turn around so quickly I fell down to the ground with a big thud'.
