Hullo! Even if I only got one review, that's alright…I'M SO HAPPY! I'm back, again…one review is good enough for me…for now…bursts into maniacal laughter Anyways, thanks sooo much to XKaiLuverX, you are my savior! This chapter is better than the first, Kai speaks and makes an appearance! Anyways… Hope you all enjoy this chapter, it's longer than the first one! Now on with the story!

Tala just stood in front of Mrs. Eve blinking stupidly until she spoke again.

"His name is Kai Hiwatari, Tala, and I'd like you to be his buddy for the first week."

Tala bristled (but not too much), and thought angrily, "Buddy? BUDDY! What the hell! Does she think I'm some kind of damn tour guide or something? Oh, so first I'm late then, my punishment is to take some damn kid around the f-ing school!"

"Tala?" His teacher prompted him gently, "Would you like to meet him? I can take you to the office to meet Kai."

"No need, Mrs. Eve," A smooth, deep and rich voice said behind Tala, "I'm right here."

Tala spun around so fast he almost tripped over his own feet. There, standing in the doorway, with arms crossed, head up, and looking exceptionally gorgeous, was unmistakably the Kai Hiwatari. He was…beautiful, gorgeous, amazing. Four shark fins decorated his cheek, with two on each side. Full, smooth, pale pink lips were twisted into a slight scowl. Powerful, mahogany eyes inspected a dripping wet Tala from head to toe. He was dressed casually, in dark blue jeansand a black top. To say he was gorgeous was an understatement…he was stunning…flamboyant…EXQUISITE!

The only thought that ran through Tala's head was, "Holy shit…Is this the guy I'm supposed to show around? Because if it is…HE'S GORGEOUS!"

Tala forced himself to smile, he was completely knocked backwards by this teenager. But the newcomer did not smile back. He simply just glared at Tala in this kind of I-don't-know-what-you're-doing-here-or-why-you-are-smiling-at-me-in-some-kind-of-stalker-way-but-if-you-are-going-to-try-to-make-a-move-on-me-then-screw-off way.

Tala's smile disappeared off his face as fast as it had appeared. "Fine," He thought, "If he wants to play tough, then he'll get it tough," and with that, all the warmth in his eyes were gone and he flashed the cool, icy baby blue eyes into a freezing glare.

Kai looked taken aback for a split second, long enough for Tala to smirk smugly at him but then recovered quickly. He twisted his lips to a slight scowl and looked as if he was about to say something, but Mrs. Eve cut him off.

"Well, Tala, this is Kai, a new student in the eleventh grade. Kai, this is Tala, captain of the boys' soccer team and class president. He is a top student, though he does tend to forget things." She added irritably.

Tala blushed gently, and his pale face slowly turned into a light shade of pink.

"Tala, will you take Kai for a quick tour of the school right now? Then, maybe you will be able to make it for your second period. There's no use sitting in my class if you don't have any books." Mrs. Eve said kindly.

"A-alright," Tala managed out, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Eve."

And with that, he strode out the door with as much dignity as he could muster, assuming Kai would follow him. As he was out the door, he said a quick and quiet, "Come on," to Kai and made towards the lockers.

"You forgot your books at home, huh?" Kai said with a smug smirk, "Tut, tut, that's not something a good student would, is it?" He added mockingly.

Tala gritted his teeth, "Actually, it was because my alarm clock got busted."

Kai chuckled dryly, though his crimson eyes remained as cold as ever, "Cute."

Tala froze. Did Kai just call him cute? "Omigosh, could it be what I think it is? Does he like me or something? Or is it just me?"

Kai stopped in front of him, "Are you going to move, or are you going to stare at me like you want to jump me or something?"

Tala snapped out of his trance. What a self-centered, heartless, obnoxious jerk! He ground his teeth together and said shortly, "Bryan also forgot to wake me up."

"Bryan?" Kai inquired, "Is he your boyfriend or something?"

"Ack! No! H-he's m-my best friend we've known each other s-since f-forever and he's a-also my roommate we do not have any relationship a-at ALL!" If Tala was blushing before, if was nothing like how he looked now. His face was as red as his hair!

Kai smirked, "Whatever you say. So are you going to show me around, or do I have to carry you to the emergency room, because you look like you might explode.

Tala blinked. Was Kai flirting with him? Nah, no way! Kai was an obnoxious eleventh-grader who thinks he, himself, and only he and himself was the best. He couldn't possibly like Tala and Tala couldn't possibly fall for him!

Can he?

TBC……….

Well, how was that? It was longer than the last chapter, but is it still too short? How do you like it so far? I'll update A.S.A.P. as long as I get a bit more reviews…thanks so much! Please R&R!
