Chap. 17 : Jealous

The next day, Carol was still boiling with anger for what Kai did to her. But, no use. Carol didn't see Kai for the whole day.

" Has anyone seen Kai ?" asked Ray.

" Who cares." Said Carol simply as she took the last bite from her sandwich before leaving.

" I admire that girl's temper." Said Dizzi when Carol left the table.

" Not only you, but the whole lot of us." Said Kenny.

"Good talking chief." Said Tyson as he continued wolfing on his breakfast.

Class started as usual and as boring as ever.

" Sigh." Said Carol.

" What's wrong ?" asked Hilary worriedly.

" Nothing."

" Sure ?"

" Whatever."

" You sound like Kai." Commented Hilary.

" None of your business." Spat Carol as she continued wandering into space, searching an answer to get her mind off the pathetic questions.

' Why, why, why ?' thought Carol.

Boringness filled the tiring day itself. Hours and hours of waiting, the moment that everyone was looking forward to finally came.

" Class dismissed. No homework for the day." Announced the teacher.

Once again, cheerings and shoutings filled the once empty and quiet corridors.

Carol and Hilary headed to their locker to put away their stuff. As soon as Hilary closed her locker and turned to Carol, she gasped, standing their wide-eyed.

" What ?" asked Carol.

" You will never believe what you see." Gasped Hilary.

She pointed to the direction behind Carol and immediately, Carol's mouth dropped on the floor.

" Holy fucking shit !" exclaimed Carol. The scene that lay before their very own eyes was this.

Kai was helping a GIRL carry her bag. And that girl wasn't just any school girl, it was, yup ! You guessed it. It was none other that Lucy Greene herself.

In that moment, the anger she felt yesterday filled her brain again. Jealous. That's what she felt.

' Urgh ! What am I thinking ! Calm down, calm down.' She thought as she tried to breathe easily.

" I don't believe it. This is really confusing." Said Hilary, turning her gaze away from Kai.

" Same goes for me." Said Carol, " C'mon, let's go back."

They walked in silence, still wondering around their thoughts.

' What the heck is wrong with me !" thought Carol as she rubbed her head.

" Urmm, Carol, See you later." Squeaked Hilary as they reached her room door. She knew that Carol was frustrated so she didn't dare to bother her. If not, who knows what will happen to her.

" Oh, whatever. Bye." Said Carol as she walked off alone to her room.

' Why, why, why ?' thought Carol as she closed the door, entering the empty room again.

' Sigh.' Thought Carol, looking at the room that once contained laughter.

" Well, Blazarine, we're back to square one again-it's just gonna be you and me staying in this room." Said Carol softly as she went to take a shower.

After taking a bath, Carol wrote her diary and watched T.V programmes to keep herself busy. But then, those annoying questions just popped in her head.

' What is wrong with me ! I should be celebrating now since I'll have the room to myself. But then again, the room will be lonely without Kai- Argh ! I'm thinking about Kai again. Damn you Hiwatari ! You're so annoying ! You always pop into my mind !' thought Carol as she took her CD-player and adjusted the volume to quite high, letting no one to invade her privacy.

/ Hey./

No response.

/ Hey /

Still no response.

/ HEY /

/ What ! You destroyed my perfect moment of not thinking about damn Hiwatari./

/ I'm worried sick here and you're telling my head off./

/ So /

/ What do you mean by so /

/ Alright. Let's just put it this way, what do you propose I do now, King of Destruction /

/ Are you mocking me /

/ No. Why will I mock my precious bitbeast /

/ Sigh. You should be sorting out your thoughts now and put them in the right place./

/ Uh huh. What's suggestion no. 2 /

/ No. 2, try to sort out your feelings about Kai./

/ Skip to number 3, Mr. Genius./

/ I'm not skipping until I had my say./

/ Now who's boss here /

/ I am. /

/ My foot./

/ Do you like Kai /

/ Yup ! I treat him as my best buddie./

/ No feelings for him ? Not even a little /

/ I already said that I like him as a friend./

/ I don't believe that. You're lying./

/ Why would I lie to you, I mean, that's dumb./

/ Yeah, and that dumb person who doesn't want to admit that she has feelings for that almighty Kai Hiwatari so happens to be my mistress./

/ Is that an insult /

/ Does it sound like one /

/ Don't know and that's why I'm asking you./

/ Awww. C'mon, admit that you like Kai./

/ I already admit it. I said I like Kai as a friend./

/ Alright, more precise. Admit that you LOVE him./

/ Have you been on pressure lately ? Oh no ! It's my fault you've gone crazy. I'm a bad mistress. C'mon, let's take you to the repair shop. /

/ Hello ? I'm here to help ! Not to make you think I'm crazy./

/ Then bug off. I don't need your help./

/ Sigh, point no. 3, follow your heart./ said Blazarine as he disappeared from Carol's mind, leaving her puzzled.

' Huh ?' thought Carol as she went back listening to her music.

' Hate you Hiwatari. You make my life in confusion.' Thought Carol darkly.
