Ch.6-First Word

"She did it!"

I watched the look of amusement flash across Kai's features while Ray was smiling triumphantly. "Say it again!" Ray instructed. I hesitantly opened my mouth, scared that if I complied to his command he was going to jump on me. "Come on I know you can," Ray scolded.

"Y-y-y-e-s-s-yes!" I stuttered, pretending to stumble over the word. Ray cheered and punched the air with a clenched fist enthusiastically. If he nearly fainted when I said 'yes' I wonder what he would do if I had said something with more than one syllable.

"Say it again!" Ray shouted cheerfully. "Y-y-e-s-s...yes!" I replied as I watched him cheer. "One more time!" Ok this was getting old quick... "Yes!" Ray ruffled my hair excitedly before he pulled me up from Kai's couch and started swinging me around in circles. Note to self: Next time- stay mute.

Ray swung me around with him in a few more circles before he let me drop back onto the couch. As you might've guessed, Ray was giving me talking lessons. It was a week after Ray had first come up with the idea, meaning Friday night. The past week of school had been just as hectic for me as the first day.

Only now, instead of becoming frantic while trying to weave in and out of the crowded mass of students, I had homework and I still got frantic while trying to weave in and out of the crowded mass of students. Ray must've grown tired of having to grab me before I could run off because he started taking me on an outside path so there was less traffic.

Walking outside was a nice change and it helped me calm down ALOT! And then there was the dreaded homework... I was fine with everything except algebra. I swear...the person who decided to shove the alphabet in with numbers must've despised kids for all they were worth. I just couldn't seem to grasp the supposedly simple equations and mostly had to mime to Ray that I needed help with it.

"Say yes."

Ray's voice interrupted my thoughts and I looked up at him questioningly. "Say yes," Ray repeated excitedly. "Yes." I replied. How did he find this exciting? I was already bored out of my mind with the word but Ray seemed so... enthusiastic about the whole thing. But I guess it's whatever floats his boat right?

"Alright now that you've got that down pat let's try another word," Ray commented as he stopped to ponder what word should come next.

Kai turned the TV up slightly, probably already annoyed at the thought of us saying the exact same word for a couple more hours. 'Haha, well let's get started shall we? And please teach me 'no' so I don't have to agree with everything' I begged mentally as the lesson continued.

Ray clapped me on the back, the triumphant grin on his face once more. "That was good! How about we call it a night?" I nodded in agreement and turned to see what Kai was watching on TV.

He didn't seem to be doing much more than flipping through the numerous channels though, only letting the TV pause to reveal what show was on before changing it again. "Hey Kai I gotta be getting home," Ray commented as he glanced up at the clock. The steadily ticking hand reminded me of the wall clocks that hung on the school walls and I turned to a digital clock.

"See ya Kai! Bye Kuri!" he smiled as he ruffled my hair before running to the door to put his shoes on. I turned back to the clock to see that it was already 10:30. A small thud told us that Ray had left and I turned my attention back to the ever flashing channels.

The constant flashing was almost mesmerizing and I kept watching as the channels flew by. I really didn't get how he could just flip through channels for a couple hours without getting bored or deciding that there was indeed nothing on and put in a movie or something. As I watched I grew more and more drowsy and it became hard to keep my head from falling forward.

Just when I thought I was going to drift off regardless of my attempts to stay awake, the TV cut off and I snapped awake. I turned to Kai who stood up slowly and stretched. "I'm goin to bed," he confirmed because leaving the room.

Wow we have such lovely conversations.

I pushed it out of my mind as I grabbed a spare blanket from a nearby closet and jumped back onto the couch. Pulling the blanket around myself tightly, I laid my head on the arm rest and found it easy to drift off...

Hope you liked it! Sry for the dullness lol! I guess I need to quit making her fall asleep at the end though huh? I'll make the next one longer and definitely more interesting too! See-ya next time!
