Kai: Yeah because she has no life.
Leaha: You wouldn't either if nobody liked you.
Tyson: Ha Ha bout time someone told him the truth.
Calypso: You people are cruel. I'm glad I met you.
Leaha: And I am glad I created you! Although it would be even better if I had created Kai. He he he
Kai: Why, so you can rape me everyday?
Leaha: It's practically impossible to rape the willing.
Kai: Someone kill me.
Chapter 3: From Bad to Worse
For the next couple of weeks I was taunted and messed with everyday by either the lead bitch, Lisa (which I found out by actually listening to the teacher call roll) or one of her slutty girlfriends. I never thought my locker could look any worse until they got a hold of it. Although I must admit (which I later told them) the graffiti was an improvement.
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get Kai out of my mind, and that included what he had told me about Tala. It taunted me day and night, and I was constantly daydreaming in class about Kai, and sometimes Brooklyn. Even though Brooklyn had a girlfriend which I discovered one afternoon when I caught him and his girlfriend making out. What a sight that was. If you've never been bitch-slapped by anyone before, you definitely do when you witness something like that.
"Miss Takeshi!" Mr.Balkov yelled. He brought me back to my senses and the very boring movie, that we were being forced to watch. " Being a teenager of this day and age you should be grateful that I'm giving you all the opportunity to watch television during school. Or is it not interesting enough for you?"
He was testing me and wanting me to say something back. So could only oblige and give him exactly what he wanted.
" I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book." I informed him with the most sincerest voice I had.
The entire class looked at me with shock, apparently no one had ever said anything like that to him before. He He He. There's always a first for everything.
"Well then Miss. Takeshi." he began while stalking up to me and glaring his glasses, " perhaps you'll enjoy after school detention."
I shrugged at him " Okay." It was the end of the day anyway and I didn't have anything better to do. Dad wouldn't be home till about 3a.m. since he worked late.
After Mr.Balkov had turned the movie back on and walked back to his desk, I laid my head down and started to doze off. About ten minutes of sleeping I awoke to someone poking me in my arm.
"Yeah." I said groggily to Serena. I knew it was her, because she sits right beside me.
"You really shouldn't have acted that way." she replied.
" Forget it, right now she's a hopeless cause." Kai butted in.
He sat across from me, in front of Serena. As always he looked as hot as ever. But I wasn't gonna deal with his attitude, and he knew that.
"You're and expert in that area aren't you?" I sneered at him.
He said nothing, but turned his back on me. He He He I love doin that.
" N.E. Ways, SERENA, you gotta do something and not always be nice. Even if someone was messin with you I'd stand up and say something. I'm not gonna let anyone push me or my friends around." I stated.
She said no more and I went back to sleep. I didn't wake up again until the bell rang marking the end of the school day. I leaned back in my chair, getting myself relaxed for the extra hour I was gonna spend there. Watching everyone file out, I noticed Tala happened to walk by and look in. He looked at me for a split second, and I tensed up without even thinking. A cold shiver ran down my spine, and I began to taste fear.
"Calypso, Are you okay?" Serena asked.
I jumped when she tapped me on the shoulder. That was totally out of character for me since I'm always calm and next to never exhibit any emotion. Now I know that she's onto me.
"Nothing," I lied " just thinking of how to waste time in here for the next hour."
"Yeah.. Uh sure. Wanna try me again?" she asked with an eyebrow raised at me.
Yeah, as you can see I'm one of the worst liars in the world. Serena was good at catching me whenever I lied. She was one of my best friends in the whole world, and that adds onto the pressure of trying to lie. I'm seriously failing right now. I didn't wanna tell her about Tala since I hated it when people were worried about me.
"Truthfully, I really wanna go home. But, you know me, when someone tries to put me down I can't shut up." I sighed.
She laughed at me before replying, " I'd stay after with you, but right now I'm condemned to immediately go home and babysit, since my mom has to be at work by 4:00 this afternoon.
"Alright, Later." I told her slouching down into my seat.
She left, and I was soon alone. Mr. Balkov sat quietly at his desk and I said nothing to do but stare at the clock and daydream. On and on the clock ticked as my mind wandered. Suddenly Mr. Balkov spoke to me saying " Alright Miss. Takeshi you can leave now."
I gathered my things glad to leave, but dreading the walk home. I was worried about seeing Tala, and being by myself with the knowledge of him being dangerous.
"So far so good." I thought to myself.k
It was really looking as though nothing was going to happen. For about two blocks I acted like some international spy. All my senses were on alert, and my body was tense so that I could automatically retaliate should anything go wrong. Twenty minutes later, I smiled wide when I saw my house up ahead. Relaxing, I changed my gait and walked a little more fluidly like I normally do. Nothing could happen to me now. There was my house, and I'd be there in about five minutes. I started imagining what I would do when I got there. Luckily, I didn't have any homework, which left my evening open for anything. (Studying isn't truly homework, technically you study everyday that you pay attention in class and do your work.) A light breeze blew across my face gently blowing my hair with it. Unfortunately, it brought an unusual scent with it. Pot. There was no mistaking it; in high school you really get introduced to the smell of it. The ones who are really into it reek of the stuff, while others can't resist but for so long and take a trip to the bathroom. Its interesting how they never get caught, especially when you know everyone, including the administrators, can smell the stuff. Stopping in my tracks, I turned and spied Tala leaned against a brick wall smoking a joint.
"Damn." I muttered.
The only way I could get home, was by walking past him. Damn I was in a tight spot! I sighed and shrugged it off. He was not going to keep me from my home. I had a stubborn side to me, and I kicked it into full gear. Lifting my head up high I walked past him only to have my arm locked in a death grip.
Tala's P.O.V.
I was really jealous. I had seen Kai wait for her after class. He talked to her more than he had ever said to the rest of us. I hated competition, and yeah to me he was. Kai knew what I thought about her, and the things I thought about doing with her. Cal was different and not like other girls in school. She was hard to get, and strangely enough that's what I liked the most. Challenges were something I couldn't resist. I also really wanted to what was under the black hoodie she always wore.
For weeks I stayed a distance away from here because I wanted to figure her out. I was also trying to decipher a way to be alone with Cal. She was a loner, but people had a tendency to find her interesting. She'd be walking down the hallway, and someone would come out of nowhere and speak to her. A lot of times by the look on her face she wasn't in the mood to talk, but she showed enough respect to talk anyway.
This afternoon I was a little depressed since I still couldn't figure her out. Leaning against a brick wall I pulled out a joint I had rolled a couple hours earlier. Ha Art class. Lighting it up I enjoyed the feeling it gave me. Immediately, I felt relaxed, and didn't have a care in the world until I heard footsteps nearby.
"Oh god. Mom's gonna kill me if I get caught again." I thought
To my surprise though it was Calypso. My prayers had been answered. She stopped and looked at me for a couple seconds. Her eyes narrowed to almost slits and she held her head high trying to ignore me. That was the last straw, I couldn't control myself anymore. Before she could get away I grabbed her wrist in a death grip determined to prevent her from escaping. This might be my only chance to get what I want. ………
Man, ch.3 is a lead on! I can't believe I left ya'll off like that. He he he. Guess you'll have to read ch. 4 when its done. R&R please!
