Chap. 9 : The School

Still Carol's P.O.V.

When we reached the school, there was like, a whole bunch of people roaming in that school already. Some were chatting; some childish ones were running up and down the corridor, some were doing the usual daily stuffs. Suddenly ……

" KAI ! " shouted a voice from nowhere. " Here. " it continued.

" Tala. " mumbled Kai.

I turned around just to see a tall redheaded teen about Kai's age, smiling at us.

" Who's this hot chic ? " he asked.

" She's the new teammate. " mumbled Kai again.

" Hi ! I'm Tala. " he introduced.

" Hi. Carol. " I said, not looking him in the eye.

" Oh, right. So, where are Ray and the others ? " asked that what's his name again, Tala.

" They're still at the dojo. " replied Kai.

" Well you'd better phone them coz' your brown haired friend, Hilary is looking for Tyson, A girl called Mariam is looking for Maxie and a female neko-jin, Mariah claims to be looking for Ray. They're making quite a racket. " informed Tala.

" Who cares. " I interrupted.

" Yeah. I'm not wasting my money on girls. " agreed Kai.

" You know, you two are very weird. And Kai, that's the first time I heard you agreeing with a girl. " shrugged Tala.

" Whatever. "

" Anyway, you're staying here ? " asked Tala.

" Yes. " Kai replied stiffly.

" Same. What number ? "

" Let's see. " Kai said, checking his paper. " 1314. "

" Oh. Poor thing. Mine's 414. What about you ? " he asked, tuning to me,

" Well, I'm sharing a room with your ' friend '. I said, sarcastically.

" Ha ! One warning : you'd better don't mess with him. Anyway, gotta go ! " said Tala with a glint in his eye.

After the intro with Tala, we went to the receptionist for the keys. Then, the search for the room began.

( After a few minutes …… )

" Finally ! " I panted while spotting my room. We went in to put our bags just in time to find an unpleasant surprise waiting for us. There was a living room, a mini kitchen, two bathrooms and the bad thing is here - the bedroom.

When we got to the bedroom, we were shocked to see only one bed. ONE BED ! Of course, there were other stuffs such as desks, end-tables… and thank Kami-sama there was a couch. If not I'd be D-E-A-D ! Dead I tell you DEAD !

" Right. So let's get this straight. You sleep on the bed while I sleep on the couch. Any problems ? " I announced.

" Fine with me. " he grunted.

While we were putting our luggage, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock

I went to open the door only to find Tyson, Ray and Max all with their female friends outside the room.

" Yes ? " I answered coldly.

" Can we come in ? "

" That's an extremely lame question. Two words : Of course. "

" Wow ! " exclaimed Tyson. " Your room's definitely bigger than our rooms. "

" Like I care. Anyway, you must be Hilary who Tyson was referring to all before this happened, you're Mariam , Max's girlfriend I suppose and you are definitely Ray's lover, Mariah since you look alike to Ray. "

When I finished, the girls were all blushing furiously while the boys left hanging dumbstruck except for Kai. He was just doing his usual pose, leaning against the wall sinking deep in his thoughts. Wait a minute, why do I care about him. He's just a silly ass who thinks he's a god.

" Hello ? Earth to Carol ? " yelled Tyson, breaking the peace.

" Yes ? " I replied, once again, coldly.

" So, what are we gonna do ? " asked Ray.

" Well, " thought Tyson, " We could play a game. " he suggested.

" Wait, pause and freeze. " Tyson shutted himself from talking when those words came out of Carol's mouth. " O.k. I'm going downtown so you guys can play this stupid game yourselves. "

" Downtown ! We wanna come too. " said the girls.

" You'll regret you ever said that. Shopping with me is really boring. " I informed the girls.

" You sure you don't wanna play ? It might be fun. " interrupted Max.

" Yeah. We're playing Truth or Dare, you know. " said Tyson, hiding an evil grin.

" TRUTH OR DARE ! " I yelled, " Count me IN ! But wait 'till I finish my shopping first. " I added.

Everyone sweatdropped and fell raising one of their legs in anime style.

" Then it's settled. " I said happily.
