Emichii: Chapter 8 is up! WHOO HOOO! YO SAZ! Read and review peoples!

Chapter Eight: Just chill!

"You want me to go out with you?" I cried incredously.

Mimi nodded.

"Mimi, you're a girl for crying out loud!"

Mimi took me by the arm. "Look, I'm not interested in you! It's just a plan that-. .. Oops… er pretend I didn't say anything."

"You're so transparent, Mimi."

Mimi smiled. "Okay… just say that we're having lunch together, okay? Do you like sushi?"

"I had sushi yesterday."

Mimi wrung her hands. "You're supposed to say yes!"

"YES!"

"Let's go!"

It was a Saturday and Mimi was dragging me out for lunch. Weirdo. What a ditz.

But she's my friend and if she's paying for it then that's fine with me.

So she dragged me out and took me downtown for lunch and when got to this sushi place, she pretended it was an accident that she bumped into Matt and T.K sitting there, talking.

Haha! Mimi, you really think you could trick me? This was just a way for you to get out with Matt! But I gotta admit, Matt's a pretty good actor.

"Oh! Hi Mimi. Hi Kari." he looked up as we entered. "Sit with us."

Well, Mimi practically ran to sit next to Matt, leaving the seat next to T.K for me.

I glared at her as I took my seat. I was careful not to look over at T.K, though I was dying to see what his expression would be like.

"I'm hungry," T.K said.

That was the first clue that Mimi had set us up. If T.K and Matt were here on their own will, then T.K would already be scarfing food down.

"Well, actually so am I." I admitted.

"Why don't you too go and place some orders?" Mimi said.

"As long as you paying for it." we said in unison. And then we both looked away from each other.

Just my luck. How'd I end up here with T.K?

"What do you want to eat?" I asked.

He didn't hear me. When I asked again, I looked over at him. He was standing at the counter, with his hands clasped together, staring at the menu with shiny eyes.

I felt my cheeks blushing. He was pretty cute when he was like that. He always loved food.

When we got the food, T.K didn't say anything because he was too busy eating. I was laughing at his antics and Mimi and Matt were making goo-goo eyes at each other.

When T.K was finally full (I hope Mimi has plenty of money on her), I said, "Well you still love your food."

He smiled and I felt my cheeks turn red. He replied, "I appreciate the good things in life."

Mimi and Matt weren't playing attention. If they weren't in public then they'd be getting it on right now.

Eyeing them suspiciously, I said quietly to T.K, "Do you mind telling me if I got set up on this date thing?"

T.K blushed and I started to blush at the sight of him blushing and it made me feel embarassed because I most, certainly, definitely DO NOT LIKE him!

"Um…" he said, "I didn't set it up but… I think everyone else did."

"EVERYONE ELSE?" I cried.

Luckily, Mimi and Matt still didn't hear us.

I narrowed my eyes. "Who is 'EVERYONE ELSE'?"

T.K counted them off his fingers, "Tai, Ken, Davis, Yolie, Mimi… and I think Matt was only in it because of Mimi."

I clenched my fists. "Well they are so gonna get it! They are not getting me out on a date with you unless they come and drag me out by the hair."

"Actually I think they just did that."

I stared at T.K.

He was laughing at me.

How long had it been since we actually talked like semi-civilized people?

He isn't that different… I kept thinking. And then I kept regretting that I thought that. Why was this so confusing?

I still hate T.K! I still hate T.K!

I had to keep repeating it over and over so that I would actually believe it myself. Sora wasn't exactly helping either. She's so crazy over Tai that even if I said anything about what he and the others set me up for, that she'd do anything to pronounce that Tai was innocent.

And in addition to that confusing stuff… there's more to this mess. I found a letter in my locker and I can't figure out how it got there since Yolei's the only other person who has a key to my locker.

I couldn't be bothered to read it so I just put it in my pocket.

"Do you think she got the letter?" Ken asked.

"Yeah…" T.K said.

"Do you think she knows what it said?"

"No…"

Davis said, "Crap, I didn't know what it said either. It was all so… flowery? Um, it was really weird."

T.K looked sheepish. "Well, I don't know what it said either. I copied it from this internet website that Ken told me to get it from."

"Let me see…" Ken took the spare copy of the letter T.K had.

"Dearest Kari,

Oh I marvel at the beauty of your face, your face is more beautiful than a snow-capped mountain and I think that your smile is the sun that melts the snow on the snowcapped mountain. Everyday and night I dream of your presence, you are the soul purpose I live on this world.

If we lived in a galaxy of stars then you would be the brightest.

If we were all flowers blooming in the meadows, you would be the most beautiful.

If we were all snow-capped mountains in Alaska, you would be the most snow-capped mountain out of all of them…"

Ken stopped reading. He stared at T.K. "You weren't supposed to copy it word for word. You should've written your own one. This is, like, plagiarism."

Davis was laughing his head off. He looked like he was about to explode. "Oh Hahahahahahahahahahaha wahahahahaha haheehee hohohohohoho….oh Heehee..ineedtopee! Argh! I need to pee!"

Ken looked at T.K with an amused expression on his face, "You didn't really put this in Kari's locker, did you?"

T.K's face had Uh-oh written all over it.

"She's really gonna hate you even more than she already hates you," Davis said.

"You don't have to rub it in!" T.K said angrily.

"ARGHHHH!" T.K said as he thought about the letter. "We have to get that letter before she sees it!"

"Let's get a hacksaw and cut the locker open!" Davis suggested.

T.K would have gone and hit him, if he wasn't so delirious. "Argh, she's gonna hate me for the rest of my life!"

Ken kept reading aloud, "I would so sincerely love to have the pleasurable honor of the presence of your beauty at the park which has many flowers with the same beauty is yours, though yours in so much more beautiful that to a humble guy like me it would be absolutely blinding. Please meet me at the park under the tree where Davis got stuck in."

Ken shook his head, "we'll be around to dig your grave, T.K. There's no way you can save yourself. Apparently, she's already taken the letter."

"How do you know?"

"Because she's standing right there under that tree where Davis got stuck."

"WAAHHH!" T.K was about to die.

I was leaving school and then I decided to go and read that letter I found in the locker. Then I thought that it might be for Yolie.

I sat on the bench under this tree in the park and had an argument about whether I should read it or not.

"Ah, what the heck!" I ripped the envelope open and read it.

Ah hahahaha… Is it April Fool's day? But people in Japan don't celebrate April fool's day! WHO SENT ME THIS?

It said T.K at the end but I was sure that it wasn't him who sent it. Probably Mimi and Yolie again.

If it was T.K, then I'd rather die. Heck, I don't even get what it said. Something about snow-capped mountains, I think.

I didn't understand it till the end when it said to meet at the tree where Davis got stuck in.

Who knew that Davis got stuck in this tree?

Wait, backtrack a bit… EEK! I'm sitting right under it!

I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!

Wait, he's gonna die! I swear to myself, the guy who comes to meet me here will be a dead guy!

"Um Kari?"

"T.K?"

"I'm sorry about that-"

"YOU WROTE THAT?" I cried. Chill Kari, chill! "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY WROTE THAT! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! WHY'S YOU HAVE TO WRITE THAT, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACT NORMAL FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD, YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE A JERK AND THEN YOU GIVE ME THIS TO MAKE ME LOOK STUPID!"

I was so angry, that I ripped that stupid crummy letter and ran for it.

Emichii: So I told you all before that that chapter was when T.K finally makes a move on Kari, and it turns out it didn't go very well, Haha! While I was writing that crummy letter, I was laughing so hard, I had to go to the toilet! Heh! But I just really feel sorry for T.K now… he's just a poor innocent guy who wants the girl who hates him… Awww… That sounded a bit more dire than the situation actually is, Haha… read and review… Constructive criticism is appreciated but if you wanna flame, than go ahead and flame, it amuses me! R&R!
