Chapter 4

"You should be more careful next time." Kai started leading her towards a table and made her sit down beside the tall red head named Tala and himself. She looked around the table to see two other people who she didn't reconginize. Mirage looked at the first one, he was short with lavender like hair, and silvery gray eyes. He wore a pair of black boots, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a yellow T with green writing saying, 'Go to hell!' he had a slight scowl on his face saying he really didn't like her. She smiled a bit at him and then turned to the taller one. He had spiked up blonde hair, and mossy green eyes. He wore a green shirt, baggy black cargo's, and black boots almost identical to his friends. Mirage curiously looked over at Tala who was sporting a white shirt with a black sleeveless jacket over it with it's hood up, black baggy pants, and a pair of old sneaker's that looked like they used to be white.

"Mirage, this is Bryan and Spencer. You already know Tala." Kai introduced her. "Guys, this is Mirage, the one I told you about." he nodded towards Mirage who was squished between Kai and Tala. She looked a little uncomfortable. Bryan and Spencer nodded towards her and she felt a little better when Spencer and Tala each smiled at her and she smiled back before looking over at Kai. Right now he was wearing a red shirt with black flames and a pair of long baggy black cargo's with red flames at the bottom, almost covering his black boots. Needless to say he was looking FINE! Mirage looked on towards the dance floor as the 4 boys started talking. Occationally she felt them staring at her but she shrugged them off and continued to watch other people dance and she smiled.

Kai stopped the conversation for a moment and looked down at Mirage who had a smile on but her aura and eyes told a different story. She was sad, deeply sad indeed. He noticed Tala, Bryan, and Spencer look over at Mirage as well, sensing the aura. Kai turned his head to where she was looking and noticed the people who were dancing. He rose an eyebrow at this. 'Why is she feeling sorrow for people who are dancing?' he thought and looked at her again.

"Taka? Are you okay?" Tala looked at the younger twin in curiosity.

Mirage turned her head to look at Tala and she smiled again. "I'm fine and please just call me Mirage okay?" she asked politely.

Tala was slightly taken a back by her gestures but nodded. "Okay..." he looked around and spotted Mirror, her sister. "Do you think that I have a chance with your sister?" he asked giving her a small pout.

Mirage blinked before smiling. "You might if your nice to her, she usually goes for the skating or punkish types." she shrugged. Kai caught a small twinkle in her eye. "But it varies cause if she can kick your ass then she'll think about it but if not, no way will she ever go out with you."

"What do you mean?" Bryan entered the conversation.

"Well Mirror and I are really good at skateboarding, snowboarding, rollarblading, ice skating, skiing, baseball, anything that's a sport. If she beats you at a sport of her choice and you win, not only will I have an angry sister at home, but you'll have a threat to society. The last guy who beat her, ended up in the hospital with a broken nose and arm." Mirage ordered for a coke.

Tala's face paled a bit. "Perfect... I have no chance with her..." he slumped down in his seat.

"Lighten up Tala, it wasn't that bad. I mean this one time after this guy beat her he started hitting on her and touched her ass. He was in a coma for 2 months." she grinned. Mirage watched as Tala's face went paler then before. He was completely flushed and then he sighed as he layed his head down. Everyone looked a little amused.

"Don't worry Tala if anyone can get a girl it's you." Spencer tried to comfort Tala who flicked him off and they all howled with laughter. Mirage giggled and watched as Tala pretended to strangle Bryan when Bryan pointed something out about Mirror. Mirage felt someone pulling at her arm and she looked up to see Kai staring softly down at her.

"Do you want to dance?" he looked at her with those smoldering crimson eyes and she instantly melted.

"Uh... sure... I guess." Mirage got out of the booth after Kai as he took her hand and lead her onto the dance floor. He soon wrapped his arms around her slim waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You know I've noticed something strange about you." he whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine.

"Oh? And what's that?" Mirage placed her head on his shoulder and heard the beating of his heart.

"That your never happy." They stopped dancing and Mirage pulled away from him. She looked into his eyes and she could see that he was telling the truth. She was never happy and she usually hid her depression very well. Not even her sister knew how unhappy she was and she's her twin for crying out loud! But this boy who's only known her for a day figures it out in less then 24 hours. How did he do it? How did he figure it out so easily. She was brought back to reality when she was being pushed up into his hard chest again as he started dancing with her again. She looked up at him to find that his eyes were closed like he was concentrating hard on something. When they reopened his eyes had fire burning in the depths. "Why arn't you ever happy? Everytime I look at you, you always have a smile on. I don't understand why you don't show people that you're unhappy. There's nothing wrong with telling people what's wrong. Why aren't you ever happy?" he looked down at her and he was slightly surprised to see that her eyes were brimmed with tears. They stopped dancing and he observed her quietly.

"I have to go." Mirage pulled away from his graspand started for the table that held her sister and new friends.

"Wait." Kai held onto her wrist sharply. "Here's my address, if you need someone to talk too. You can join me and my friends at any time." he wrote down on her hand with abluepen. "And here's my cell phone number." he grabbed her cell phone and installed his number. "Just in case you need anything." he smiled down at her and inwardly glared at himself for being so nice to her. This was not Kai Hiwatari. 'As soon as I get what I want I won't be like this anymore. It disgusts me.' Kai walked away seeing as she had already left with a confused face on.

"Hey Mira, where were you?" Mirror looked at her sister as Mirage shrugged.

"Places..."

"You were with Hiwatari again weren't you?" Julia looked at her intently.

"You better watch out for him. He's a major player of the school." Ray gave some advice. "I mean it, he played this one girl and she switched school's."

"I miss Salima..." Max sighed. "She was fun."

"Don't worry! I'll be careful guys." Mirage smiled. "Now who wants to go for ice cream?" she looked at Max and Mirror.

"I do! I do! I do!" Max jumped up and down in his seat. "Please Mariam, please? I promise I'll be good! Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Max gave Mariam his famous puppy dog pout and she sighed.

"Fine." she looked away.

"Yay! Thanks Mari!" he kissed her cheek and everyone chuckled as she blushed a deep red.

"So I guess it's off to the ice cream parlor?" Mariah smiled.

Okay that was a cool one! Not as long but it was still cool right! Anyway thanks and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
