Chap. 20 : Will It Work ?
Days passed. It seemed like the holidays were flying away from them as fast as it could but not for Carol. She was having a hard time not thinking about Kai. One snowing, freezing day,
" Awww, when are Mariam and the others coming home ?"asked Mariah.
" Don't fret. I'm sure they'll be back in a week or two." Said Ray calmly.
" So what do you suppose we do know ?" asked Carol.
The four teens were in Carol's room since Hilary's and Ray's room were in a mess.
" Movies anyone ?" suggested Ray, taking out a few DVDs from his bag.
" What is there to watch ?" asked Hilary as Ray flipped through them, one by one.
" Let's see, Action, romance, humor, tragedy, angst, science-fiction, fantasy or what ?" said Ray as he dished out the categories.
" Action might be nice." Said Mariah.
" I agree." Said Hilary.
" Suits me." Shrugged carol as Ray put the disk inside the DVD player.
" What show ?" asked Mariah as Ray place his hand on Mariah's shoulder.
" Teen Titans."
The show was too cool. In the middle of it, everyone was starting to pick their fav. Titan.
" Starfire's the best." Said Mariah.
" Beast Boy is so hilarious." Laughed Hilary, pointing at the scene.
" Robin is not bad himself." Considered Ray, " Not to mention Cyborg." He added.
" Raven's the coolest." Said Carol, her eyes glittering like stars.
" Too bad Kai wasn't here." Said Ray as carol rolled her eyes.
" I need to use the washroom." She said flatly.
When the door was closed,
" What's up with carol these days. She's acting so weird." Said Mariah, " For a minute she's nice, another minute she's as cold as ice."
" She's really one hard puzzle to solve." Concluded Ray.
" I'll tell you guys later." Whispered Hilary as a knock was heard from outside the door. " I'll go get it !" yelled Hilary.
As soon as she opened the door, a boy was standing in front of her.
" Is Carolyn M. Blac in ?" he asked.
" Why ? If you want a date, I'm sorry to say that she's occupied by another boy." Said Hilary coldly.
The boy blushed.
" It's not like that. Please pass me these to her and tell her to be punctual. The coach doesn't like to be waiting." Said The boy as he ran off.
" What's it say ?" asked Mariah with interest.
" Don't know." Shrugged Hilary.
" Then open it then." Urged Ray as Hilary opened it.
" HOLY SHIT ! LOOK !" exclaimed Hilary.
" Oh my gawd !" said Mariah with horror. Piles of notes could be seen. Notes like Basketball tryouts, 9- 11 a.m., volleyball camp, 11.30 a.m. – I p.m., beyblades extra practice, 1.30 p.m. – 4 p.m. and many more.
" Thanks for helping me collect them !" smiled carol fakely as she appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the papers.
" Carol ! You take part in these activities ?" asked Hilary, dumbstruck.
" There's so many of them." Said Mariah.
" Al together, you have only an hour's time to rest only !" counted Ray.
" Yup !" said Carol, smoothing the crumpled papers.
" But how are you gonna COPE ?" asked Mariah.
" I'd be deadly tired if I have so many activities in one day." Said Ray.
" I can manage. With a fit body, I will be healthy." Smiled Carol.
" Yeah but-"
" The butt-kicking parts starting. Let's watch." Interrupted carol.
" Carol, I know what you're thinking." Said Hilary sternly.
" Of course you do. Like I said, it helps me to keep my body fit and it helps my stamina too." gritted carol through her teeth.
" At least cancel one activity." Said Ray.
" None of your business." Said Carol coldly, staring at the television screen.
" Look Carol, don't do this." Said Mariah.
" I said it's none of your business." Said carol softly and dangerously.
" Hey ! Don't talk to her like that." Protested ray.
" Don't like it ? Well look here mister, I'm this sort of person so don't like, get out of my room." Yelled Carol, " I'd be happy to show you the way out."
" Carol-" argued Ray but stopped by Hilary.
" Carol, we know you'll want some privacy so, we'll leave you alone first. But please think about what we said. We just want to let you know that we are always there for you." Said Hilary, opening the door. " I do hope that you'll think about what we said."
When Hilary closed the door,
" Into my room guys. I'll tell you what happened."
( In Carol's room…)
' Grrrr. When will ray stop getting on my nerves. It's none of his business anyway.' Thought Carol.
I do hope that you'll think about what we said.
' Hmmm. Maybe I was too harsh on Mariah. She was only trying to help. Oh well, better go apologize now.' Thought carol as she slammed the door.
-
" Well, that's the story." Said Hilary.
" Oh, it's so confusing." Said Mariah, rubbing her head.
" Ya damn right it's confusing." Agreed Ray.
" Well, poor Carol. I can see that she's trying VERY hard not to fall in love. But she's already done it !" said Hilary.
" Yeah. Poor her." They agreed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
" And who might that be." Wondered Hilary as she opened the door, " Carol !"
" Hi guys. Look Mariah, I'm sorry about just now." She apologized.
" It's okay. But how can you not tell us ab-" Mariah was cut off by Hilary who shot a glare at her.
" Tell you what ?" asked Carol suspiciously.
" About taking part in these activities and not telling us." Lied Hilary quickly.
" Oh well, sorry."
" Anyway, you sure you wanna take part in these activities ? It's tiring ?" exclaimed Ray.
" I don't care. Like I said, it helps my stamina to get better." Lied Carol.
" You sure ?" asked Mariah.
" Of course. Anyway, it's only four days. What could happen." Smiled Carol.
" So, what are we gonna do know ?" asked Hilary.
" Sorry guys but I need to go back now. So, I'll see you guys later ?" asked Carol.
" Later." They agreed.
Carol's POV
I was walking down the corridor back to my room when I heard laughter. I followed the sound and guess who I saw. I saw Kai and Lucy together ! Oh the ' joy ' seeing them. I left as quickly as possible before anyone noticed me. I was fighting very hard for the tears to be rolled inside my body and not to be seen. Don't know why but I just can't get my mind off Kai. I feel like I'm falling in love. But I can't do that ! Love will only make you weak. I have to get my mind off him.
' But how ?" I asked myself tearfully as I closed my door and sat on my thinking spot – the couch.
After some time,
' Hey ! Perhaps the school activities will keep me busy from day-dreaming about Kai before I know it.' I thought.
/ But you love him don't you /
/ Why ask such questions Blazarine /
/ I was only trying to help /
/ Thanks but I can't do what you are thinking now. Don't you remember what happened to Denise /
/ You're right. /
/ Glad you noticed/
/ Well, the main problem is this, will it work /
/ I don't know. But it's worth a try /
/ Sigh, you're only making yourself worse. /
/ Thanks for the lesson. / I said sarcastically as I fell asleep.
Well, is this chap okay ? Review and tell me please.
