Chapter seven:

Rei's gorgeous eyes flickered to acknowledge Bryan's presence. It was barely a glance, merely maybe a glancette, but the tiniest eye contact with Bryan had the most awful effect on Rei.

He stopped breathing, his eyes clouded over, and he could only gasp out words that weren't even English.

"Hi Rei." Bryan said to him dully.

Rei's jaw practically dropped open. Here he was, talking to the sheer love of his damning life, and he'd rehearsed everything that he was going to say, but all he could think was, "he knows my name!"

This, in teenage language automatically means, "He wants to wrangle me!"

Okay, maybe it's not that dramatic. But Rei soon found himself breathless.

"Would-would you like to have a cup of…cup of co-ffee with me?" He asked tentatively.

Bryan fought the mad urge to roll his eyes. If that's what he wants, fine. "Um, yeah, fine."

Tala smirked to himself as he watched Rei and Bryan walk off. But before he could say anything to Brooklyn about this, he ran off, leaving Tala alone with his thoughts.

They'd be good together, He thought, They're very, very, very cute together.

"Well, well, if it isn't the best student of Bluedale High," teased a rich, deep, sexy voice behind him.

Tala froze all over. That voice. That rich, seductive voice that sent shivers crawling up- or down his spine. He felt eyes tracing his body, and fought the urge to shudder. Turning around, he found himself face to face with him.

Kai Hiwatari.

Fighting the crazy urge to rip off all his clothes and jump on him, Tala calmly kept his gaze with the pair of crimson eyes that innocently blinked back at him.

"Yes?" Tala asked, fighting to stop his voice trembling.

Kai smiled warmly at him. Not his usual smirk, but a sweet smile. "It was very nice of you to show me around today."

Tala blinked. "Huh?"

Kai raised an eyebrow, "I mean, today, when I just came to Bluedale." He spoke slowly as if he was talking to an eight year old.

"Of course." Tala said quickly, "No problem." Curious, he looked at the well built teenager in front of him. He was probably the most gorgeous guy he'd ever laid eyes on.

Kai's eyes vaguely clouded over, but he didn't take any notice. "May I offer you a drink?" He asked politely.

Tala didn't seem to have any choice so he just smiled weakly and followed him.

From a far corner, blue eyes saw it all. Brooklyn leaned against a wall his eyes partly closed, deep in thought. Seems like Tala's got an admirer. On the other hand, he's always been quite gorgeous. Just wait till Mystel comes back…

Bryan yawned. Rei had gone to get some drinks and he was sitting at an empty table for two, thinking about his geography quiz.

Where is Moscow located? Well, that's easy. In Russia, obviously. What's Professor Sinstrom thinking? And what does the location of Moscow have to do with- Oh never mind. Where is Russia located? In Europe, right? And where is Europe loca- OH FOR GOD'S SAKE! I've got to stop thinking about school. This is a time to rest my brain. Well, it's not really easy considering I think I've lost my mind since I'm talking to myself. Which I shouldn't be. Because I'm normal. Absolutely normal. As normal as any sixteen year old boy. I don't do my homework, I play sports, I speed when I drive, I don't stop at red lights, I drink illegally…What more does God want from me? And now I've lost my mind by talking to myself and telling myself I've lost my mind…

"Um, Bryan?" A tentative voice broke into his thoughts.

Bryan raised his head to find himself looking into the golden eyes of his friend. "Russia is in Europe, right?" He demanded.

Rei looked confused. "Um-I think so."

Bryan felt himself relax. Good, Bryan. He thought, You got that question right. Since Rei knows everything, maybe you can ask him if you're mental too. Oh what the hell am I thinking? Why can't I do something normal for once?

"What are you doing?" Rei inquired. "You look like you just zoned out."

"Talking to myself." Bryan replied vaguely. Then, realizing what he just said, immediately yelped, "No! I mean, I wasn't talking to myself. I was just…Thinking."

Rei stared at him.

"Um-" Oh great, Bryan. You're officially nuts. "What I meant to say was…" He trailed off. Then, spotting the drinks in Rei's hands, said, "Oh great! You've got drinks. I'm thirsty!" Grabbing the mug in Rei's hand, he chugged down the coffee, trying to hide his embarrassment.

The coffee brought him to reality. "So, Rei, what's up? Do you have anything to say to me?" He asked the golden eyed teenager.

Rei started. "Um, yeah. I do. Um- I just wanted to say…"

Bryan leaned closer to him. And what Rei whispered in his ear was unbelievable.

Tbc….
