Kai woke up at the sound of his cell phone ringing; he looked around his drawer and grabbed it. "What?" He said curtly as he answered his phone. "Hey dude." He knew that voice, he groaned. "What do you want, Tala...?" he answered almost knowing what would come next either he made a move with Velika and wanted to brag about it or was going to annoy him about his situation with Kira.
"Well, not much, although... dude, you're losing your touch, I mean you haven't talked to Kira in two days! If you keep this up, you're gonna lose the bet I and I will win" Tala said from the other line of the phone.
"You just had to tell me this, didn't you? Besides, you said you will win, it's not like you have Velika under your command." Kai talked back.
"Well, not exactly... but I'm beginning to gain her trust, we're friends now." Tala said.
"Friends...?" Kai said and began to laugh. "Yeah, ok, you're now friends, wow... that'll get her into your bed in no time. Or is it that you're enjoying being friends with her, now? Wow... so, you sure you're not falling for her?" Kai asked as he arched a brow.
"You wish, but you will see that being friends with her is a good sing as soon as I have her on her back." He alleged trying to convince Kai and himself. "But back to the point, you should try and do something about Kira, try to be nice, don't lose control, say you're sorry... that would do."
"Ok, I'll try..." Kai said reluctantly, he hung up and begin getting ready for school.
Things didn't change much after their big fight, Kai keep giving Kira a ride to school but neither of them say anything during the ride to school. Well... he will try and make a little conversation this time.

"Mom I'm going to school." Kira said just as she exited her house and saw Kai getting out of his and walk towards his car.
"Hey, ready?" He smiled a little at her. Girls love my smile; she'll forget everything about the argument.
"Whatever." She shrugged and got into the car. Kai didn't move, why hadn't it worked? He shook his head and got into his car as well. Kira just keep looking anywhere but Kai. She decided to just stay away from him... it wouldn't matter that he hated her, and she tried to look it in the bright side, that way it would help her to not fall for him.
"So... look about that discussion umm... well..." He trailed off. Just say 'I'm sorry', it isn't that hard... He looked at her, "I'm... so-sorry." Just as those words left his mouth, Kira looked at him with surprise... never had Kai said sorry before... but then again, why was he sorry if she was his problem? They soon arrived at their school, Kai parked the car. He was still waiting for Kira's answer but she said nothing and walked away to school.
"Damn it! Women..." He cursed before following her. Kira was walking through the hallways until she got to her locker. She was still shocked about what Kai had said but pushed it back in her mind. "Let's see... 38... 40... 52" She whispered, then she pulled the lock but didn't open. "Strange..." She tried again. "Fuck! This day can't get any worse." Just then a hand punched her locker, the thing opened up, and she looked up to see none other than Kai. She turned around and began getting the books she needed.
"What? No 'thanks'?" he asked as nice as he could.
"Why would I thank you? I didn't ask for your help." She didn't even bother to look at him.
"Why you little-"Kai began but was cut off by his best friend.
"Hey man, hey Kira." Tala greeted them as he approached the lockers.
"Hi Tala," Kira smiled at him. Kai was taken back, was she just smiling? Did he hurt her that much? She didn't talk to him, or wanted to see him, and as far as he could remember those two days that had passed she was smiling less.
"So have you seen, Vel?" Tala asked while looking around.
"No, not really" She said and looked at him a strange way before closing her locker. "Why?"
"Oh... um, just asking, so... I'll see you two later." Tala said and just walked away, not before giving Kai a look. Kai nodded, he understood, he had to get Kira to forgive him. He turned to look at her, "Hey, maybe we could go to watch a movie or something after class..." He asked her and began to follow her.
"Can't, I have some project to finish, so I would be staying late. You don't need to wait, I'll go walking, I already told mom." She picker up her walking and entered to her classroom, leaving Kai standing alone in the hallway.
Tala looked all over the school for Velika. Where the hell is she? He flipped his backpack over his shoulder as he kept searching through every hallway. He had been everywhere! The cafeteria, the auditorium, the labs, the gym, every classroom she had classes in, even the library. There's a place I've never been before... she's the first girl I'm after that actually likes to read. He shrugged. He continued walking until he reached the door at the end of the hallway, that door leaded to the soccer field. Well, he didn't really know if Velika liked soccer or any sport at all, but even if she did, practices didn't start until after classes. He stood there for a few minutes pondering whether or not he should look for her there. He reached out to push the door but he stopped before reaching it. He shook his head and stepped back. She won't be there... maybe she didn't come to school today. Tala turned around and started walking again. A few seconds later he heard the door open, he didn't mind much and continued his journey to his classroom.
"So what are you doing after school, Velika?"
That made him stop and he turns around quickly; there was Velika at the end of the corridor, looking quite breathtaking. The sun was shining behind her and the wind blowing made her loose hair wave in the air. She wore some tight gray jeans with a silver chain, a long-sleeved fishnet black blouse underneath a red t-shirt that said Me So Bitchy, with the logo of a very famous Japanese car label. She didn't have a drop of make-up today, but she still looked beautiful. She turned around to the blue haired boy behind her and gave him a small smile before answering. "I'll be at practice..." That's when Tala noticed the boy too. He frowned deeply as he eyed the tall boy smile down at Velika, as he remained pushing the door open so she could step in. What the fuck is Tyson doing with Velika?
"Oh yeah, I forgot... that's why you where speaking with the coach earlier today." They both walked calmly down the aisle until they looked up to see an angry Tala standing in the middle of the deserted hallway.
"Oh, what's up, Tala? What are you doing here all by yourself?" Tyson asked with a smile. When Tala didn't answer, he smirked. Feh, he's already jealous, this is just perfect. Let's see how long it'll take him to realize it. He looked down at his watch. "Oh, I've gotta go. I have class on the third floor. Well, see you later Velika, Tala."
Velika waved good-bye to Tyson with a small smile and turned to look at Tala, who had his eyebrows furred. "Hey Archie, where'd ya leave Reggie?"
"Where were you?" He asked curtly.
The girl was taken aback; she had never heard Tala speak as cold as he was doing right now. "Uh, at the soccer field...?"
"Why? And why was Tyson doing with you?" He asked again, the same sharp tone.
"I enrolled myself in the soccer team... and I happen to run into Tyson. We were talking-"
"How do you know him?"
"We met the other day in—wait, what am I telling you all this? What's with the interrogatory?" Velika snapped at Tala, who cringed a little and lost that frown in his face. "God's you don't have to be so paranoid. We were talking, that's it. No harm done. Geez, Paulisevich... that we're friends doesn't give you the right to interrogate me for everything I do." She started walking and Tala had no choice but to follow her. "Anyway, what are you doing here? This isn't a very common corridor when there's five minutes left for classes to start."
"I was looking for you." He blushed as he looked down. Wait a second, I don't blush! What the hell is wrong with me? First, I get mad at seeing Velika with Tyson, and then I blush? Even though, I still don't like the fact that he's hanging around with her. After all, he knows of the bet, he can screw things up for me.
Velika looked up to Tala and gave him a weird look. "Why where you looking for me?"
The redhead raised his head but didn't turn to look at her. "When I arrived, I saw Kira and Kai there but you weren't there."
"So...?"
"So I went out to look for you."
She raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Well..." he trailed off. Think fast, Paulisevich! Say something, anything! "Uh... well, this is our first day being friends." Fuck, anything but that would've been better. He looked over at Velika who had an eyebrow lifted. After some seconds of staring at him, she smiled. "You're odd, Tala."
Tala was mesmerized with her smile. That he remembered, she didn't smile much, and when she did it was just a tiny one. The one he was receiving today was absolutely beautiful, it was wide and sparkling. Her whole face brightened up when she did that. He kept staring at her, "You know, you should smile more often... you have a really great smile."
The smile on Velika's face dropped right away. "I don't smile. I have no reason to."
"Then what would you call it, then?"
"I-uh, facial spasm," Velika answered quickly and picked up her pace towards the brown wooden door in front of her, opened it, and stepped inside, trying to avoid more questions from the redhead.
Tala was left behind and he watched Velika enter their classroom, he sighed and closed his eyes. "Yeah, right..." He imitated the girl and opened the door to step inside, initiating a new day of school.
School passed by quickly and through all the classes Kai was trying to be as nice to Kira as he could, but she just keep ignoring him, which pissed him off and almost made him yell at her, again, but when we was about to, he managed to regain his control. After school, Kira stayed late to finish some homework, it was at 5 o'clock when she finished and made her way to the exit just to find the school empty, expect for some people in the library, teachers, students in detention... and Kai? HE was in the parking lot resting against his car with his eyes closed.
"What are you doing here?" She asks as she got closer him.
"Well, I decided maybe I could give you a ride home..."
"No thanks, I already told you not to wait for me! What are you, my boyfriend?! Why do you keep following me all day?!" She half-yelled at him. That was the last string for Kai; he got closer to her and looked at her.
"That's it! I try to be nice with you all day, but you keep pushing me away, and I stay late just to wait for you and you just come and yell to me?!" He yelled.
"Nobody told you to wait, or act nice towards me!" Kira said also yelling at him.
"What do you want from me, eh? I said I was sorry, I'm being nice... what else do you want?!" He asked frustrated.
"Nothing! I don't-" Then the image of her and Kai about to kiss appeared in her mind. Why am I thinking of this right now? She cleared her throat. "I don't... want anything from you."
"Then tell me how can you forgive me?" He asked.
"It's not like you care..." she whispered. They both looked at each other's eyes, they were both angry. Kai looked at her for a moment, her face and her eyes showed anger, but also, she seems to want something, and they also show sadness.
Without saying something and in one quick move he kiss her, Kira didn't have time to react and before she knew what was going on, she felt Kai's lips on her. She was shocked, they kept staring into each other's eyes... and with out knowing it, Kira slowly closed her eyes and gives in. Kai bit her lower lip making her gasp and took advantage of that to deepen the kiss and French-kiss her. Slowly they separated; Kira looked at him, with a total different look than just minutes before, Kai leaned forward to brush his lips with hers and said to her almost a whisper. "This is what you wanted, isn't it...?"
Kira just stood there for a couple of seconds, Kai just smirked seeing how much effect he had on her but then he felt a sharp pain on his right cheek. "You idiot..." Kira had just slapped him; she looked at him with tears in her eyes and shook her head. She grabbed her things and ran out of the school towards her house.
Kai just stood there and looked how Kira ran away; he brought his hand to his cheek where she had slap him just some seconds ago. "Way to go, Kai." Kai didn't even need to turn around, he knew it was Tala. "Now you've done it..." He stated flatly.
"Whatever..." Kai muttered and started to walk away.
"What's your problem, man? You're totally out of character, knowing you, you would already have her on you bed!" Tala alleged; this made his friend stop.
He didn't turn around. "Well... there's just something about her... and I just can't bang her and that's it. I don't know... she's too innocent, too... cute." His last words were barely above a whisper.
"What's with you and the word 'cute' lately?" Kai turned around towards his friend and kept listening. "You never used to say some girl was 'cute', they were always 'hot' or 'attractive'... even beautiful, but not 'cute'. And you keep referring to Kira as cute, even though she's hot, beautiful and attractive." The flame haired guy said, earning a glare form the dark haired when he said Kira was all that. Tala kept looking at him, he was almost sure he was falling for the girl, which maybe wasn't so bad. Not receiving an answer, he continued. "Well, Kai, they sure are not like the others," he said referring to Kira and Velika, Kai looked at his friend with his eyebrow raised, but Tala didn't notice or didn't care, "but don't worry I'll fix things for you... However, right now I have to find Vel. See ya." Tala said and started to walk to the soccer field while he made a little call on his mobile.
Kai looked his friend go away. He sighed. What's wrong with me? Kai thought as he got inside his car, he just sat there for a few moments staring at nothing, and then he brought his fingers to touch his lips. He could still taste Kira's lips on his. He smiled but stopped at this sudden thought, he wanted to kiss her again...
It was Velika's eleventh lapse around the field when she stopped to catch her breath. She bent down and rested her hands on her knees; her face was flushed from the sun and the exhaustion of running around the field, she had tied her hair in a ponytail that was currently lying over her shoulder hanging in the air and had changed her other clothes for a very small deep pink short and a white t-shirt with pink letters spelling 'Bitch'. She looked at some random spot in the ground, thinking, while panting heavily. Fuck. She stood upright quickly and walked towards her bag, dragging out a bottle of water. She drank half of it and poured a bit over her face. Suddenly she frowned and kicked a pebble that was near her foot. She stared at it as it rolled forward about five meters before leaving motion. Why the hell can't I stop thinking about him? Her eyebrows maintained furrowed; ever since this morning, she couldn't stop thinking about Tala and what he had said to her.
Flashback
"You know, you should smile more often... you have a really great smile."
End Flashback
She finished her water and crumpled the bottle, before throwing it to a trash can near by. So he said I had a beautiful smile, big deal. He could say it to anyone... and yet I can't stop thinking about it. She exhaled and was about to start her next lapse but someone calling her name made her stop. She turned around to see Tyson jogging to where she was. "Hey, Tyson... what are you doing here?"
The boy arrived next to her and smiled. "I'm on the male soccer team."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Velika asked.
He just shrugged. "And how's your first training day going?"
"Ok, I guess. The coach wants us to just run around the field, twenty lapses. I've only got nine more to go. Then I have to go fifty sit-ups and two hundred abdominals." Velika turned to her left to see her coach yelling at her to continue. "I must continue... I still have a lot to do."
"Sure... I'll be seeing you around." He waved the girl good-bye, and looked her continue running. Since her back was to him, he leaned his head to the side to check out her ass.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
A sharp voice startled him. Tyson turned his head around and saw Tala, who was glaring at him, above his shoulder. He smirked, "Hello to you too, Tala."
The turquoise eyed boy ignored him and asked again sternly. "What the hell are you doing here, Granger?"
He turned his head back towards the field, and saw Velika running at the other side of it. "I have soccer practice, like I have for the last two years."
Tala looked uneasy, he didn't really believe him, but he did know he was in the soccer team ever since they entered high school. He turned to look where the other boy was staring, and found the person he was looking for. He frowned. "Are you sure you aren't here because of her?" He heard the boy in front of him chuckle.
"You are quite the observer, aren't you?" Tyson turned back to look at him and gave him a lopsided grin.
"Fuck you. What the hell are you doing hanging around Velika?" Tala grabbed him by the collar and pulled him closer.
Tyson chuckled and answered calmly. "We're just friends, why, is it illegal being around her?"
The red head remained silent for several seconds, at last, he replied in a deep voice. "No, it isn't illegal... but you know of the fucking bet, and I don't want to risk losing it because of you."
Tyson removed the other guy's hands off of him and pushed him and started walking towards his soccer teammates. "Relax, I won't tell on you..." Tala sighed in relief until he heard the blue haired talk again, "but the fact that you made a bet to get into her pants doesn't mean she's yours exclusively... so I can be with Velika as much as I want." He resumed his walking until he reached his teammates.
Tala didn't move at all, he was shocked about what Tyson had just said. Was he really after Velika or did he just said what he said to piss him off? He frowned; he didn't like what he had just heard. But what pissed him off the most was that he knew that everything he had said was truth.
Tala waited next to Velika's stuff until her practice was over, and once she was making her way to him, he stood up and handed her the towel she had left above her bag. "Thanks..." she took the towel, "what are you still doing here? Don't tell me you where here the last two hours?" When he nodded she asked again, "Why? Didn't you get bored?"
"Actually, I found your soccer practice to be quite entertaining." He stood next to her while she went through her stuff and retrieved a bottle of water.
He heard her snort. "What you fount to be 'quite entertaining' was a bunch of teenage girls wearing very tiny shorts and tight t-shirts."
"I wouldn't say a bunch... my eyes where set upon the same girl all the time..." He whispered against her ear.
Velika shivered at his closeness and his hot breath on her neck, but she convinced herself it was because she was still hot from doing all that exercise and the wind's air was somewhat chilly. "Of course you did." She grabbed her stuff and started her way to the parking lot. Tala hurried up and walked next to her. She looked at him, an eyebrow rose, "Why are you following me? Didn't we have this conversation before?"
"Oh, I'm not following you... I'm just walking you to your car."
Velika smirked, "To make sure I get to my car all safe and sound?"
"It wouldn't hurt..." he shrugged.
They continued their way until they where both in front of Velika's jeep. "My complete gratitude, my knight in armor, without thee, who knows what could have had happened to me." She faked a voice of an English damsel in distress and covered her forehead with her hand.
He chuckled at her for a moment, and then his face grew serious. "Listen, Vel... I was wondering-"
"Goodbye Velika! See you tomorrow! And goodbye to you too, Tala." Tyson's voice ringed in his ears.
Velika waved him off and said goodbye to him too. Tala, ignoring the interruption by the dickhead, went on. "As I was saying... I was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies tonight with me..." Velika kept staring at him as if he'd just lost his mind, "As friends, of course."
She hesitated for a few seconds but finally nodded. "Ok, we'll meet each other at the movies at eight." She got into her car and turned on the engine.
"W-wait! Shouldn't I pick you up?" The guy said frantically.
"No... That would be a date... friends meet each other at the movies. Well, don't be late." She stepped on the gas and waved him goodbye, while he stood there staring at her car disappear. He sighed, getting Velika would be the hardest thing he'd do in his entire life.
Kira went to her house; she couldn't believe what Kai had said to her. Didn't he felt the way she felt? But...What?.....What do I feel for him?
"Oh! Honey, you're home..." Her mom said when she looked at her daughter enter the house.
"Yes mom..." She knew it wasn't a question but she answered anyway.
"These flowers just arrived for you, dear..." Her mother smiled and gave her a wonderful bouquet of pink roses.
Kira grabbed them and arched an eyebrow, looking up from the flowers to her mother. "From whom?" She asked.
"Well, you have to find that out, don't you think?" Her mom winked at her and went to the kitchen.
Kira looked at the flowers and went to her room. When she arrived to her room she closed the door behind her. She looked at the flowers again and smelled them. She smiled, they really smelt beautiful, and then pick up the letter. She read out loud: "I'm sorry for everything, I know I'm a jerk. Again I'm sorry, I really am. Kai"
She reread the letter twice, and still was doubtful about what she was reading. He was apologizing, and really meant it, she smiled and touched her lips, thinking of the kiss. What did she felt for him?, what she felt for him... was... is... I love him...
Her smile grew larger as she held the card that had made it all so obvious to her, and then she went for some water for the flowers downstairs. When she went to the kitchen to gather a vase she saw that her mother and Kai's where there. And they were talking.
"Oh! I'm not sure if he'd like that..." Her mother said.
"Hello, Kira, darling... will you come to Kai's party? It's this Friday..." Kai mother said. "There will be an orchestra playing, oh, and it's formal..."
Formal? What kind of party will that be? She thought as she looked at Kai's mom with an incredulous look in her face. Then she remembered Kai's letter and an idea went to her mind. "Um... Mrs. Hiwatari?" she started.
"Yes, dear?" She replied.
"Umm well... maybe Kai won't like that..." Kira said.
"Oh... well, then what would he like?" she asked and Kira gave her some ideas. In the end Mrs. Hiwatari suggested that Kira planned the whole party. "Remember, if you need any money just ask and I'll tell my husband to give it to you to pay that group you say my son likes to play at his party." She smiled.
"Um sure, thanks..." She said.
"Oh! No, thank you darling..."
She had all planed, she would have Kai's favorite band to play at his party, his favorite cake, and all his friends and other people would be there, she just had to ask Tala to deliver the invitations and that would be it. Most of it will be a surprised for Kai, since he expected a fancy party with an orchestra. She smiled to herself and started making the invitations. This will be perfect.
Sorry for thaking a while to update but here it is chapter 5
