Chapter 7:Going back to school
Serena's P.O.V.
Calypso stayed at my house all week. Not once did she speak to anyone. After her father was murdered there just wasn't anything I could say to make her feel better except give her a place to stay. every time I tried talking to her she simply walked out the house and wouldn't return for hours. So not to upset her I never followed to find out where she went, but something told me it was home.
Calypso's P.O.V.
I stood outside my house for the hundredth time that week. Everytime I looked at the front door I remembered seeing my father's lifeless body hanging on it. The thoughts sent shivers down my spine. Tomorrow I was gonna go back to school. A week was long enough and I was tired of borrowing Serena's clothes. The police had said that I wasn't allowed on the premises. What do I care? It's my damn house! One way or the other I going in there.
It took me almost half an hour just to reach the front door. It wasn't from anyone holding me back I was just scared. I was worried about how it looked on the inside since I never had been in it since before dad died. Sweat slid down my face as I felt my heart beat madly within my chest. I could barely breathe as I slowly reached for the handle. The house had never been locked because the investigators were still coming and going trying to find some evidence that the murderer might have left behind. Slowly, centimeter by centimeter I turned the knob and lightly pushed the door open.
To my surprise everything looked the same. It was as if nothing had happened and my father and I had just decided to go on vacation for a while. If only it was the truth. I walked through the house with a different personality. No longer did I look at everything like it was there to take up space. Something reminded me of dad everywhere I looked, and what few pictures there were didn't help either. For almost two hours I walked around on the bottom floor before going to my room. When I walked into it I wanted to cry. Finally, after a week I felt I could actually cry and I would have, but I hated tears. Tears were for those who couldn't handle the burdens of life. To me, crying was nothing more than a way to lose one's mind instead of facing the truth head on. Sucking it up I grabbed my book bag and a duffle bag. Packing a bunch of clothes up and grabbing my trench coat along with a shoe box I left the house and went down to my car preparing to go back to Serena's place.
Kai's P.O.V.
For a week I didn't see her, and it scared the hell out of me. Tyson came over one morning before school and told me what had happened to her father. It was definitely something that only made life even worse that it already was for her.
"Kai, stop daydreaming for once." Brooklyn replied cutting into my thoughts.
"Piss off Brooklyn." I growled at him.
"Well well looks like your fantasy is finally back." Brooklyn smirked looking past me.
I turned around to see that Calypso had finally returned. My heart leapt with joy before dread filled me. She no longer looked the same to me. Looking at her, anyone could tell that the events of the past week had taken their toll on her. As far as I knew there wasn't anyone that knew anything about the 'incident' between her and Tala. Nothing came into my head as to what I should say. The look in her eyes tore me apart. They weren't bright and hard colored as I remembered, but black bottomless pits that had no end. Many people turned and stared at her as she walked to her seat, but no one said a word. The only sound in the room was the rustle of her long black coat that hung all the way down to her ankles.
It hadn't taken long before the entire school had known about her father's murder. Actually, by 2nd period Monday morning everyone had known. No thanks to the gossiping nosey ass bitches that were Lisa's friends. Speak of the whore or thought of. Lisa decided to sit on Calypso's desk just as she had sat down in her seat.
"Hey Kai!" Lisa practically screamed at me. Like I wasn't deaf enough already from her following me around for the past week.
People thought I was heartless and this slut was hitting on me, knowing full well that her presence probably go on Calypso's nerves. Some chicks just don't know when to call it quits. If it wasn't illegal, I'd shoot'em every time they came near me.
Ignoring Lisa's comment (as usual) I reached into my book bag rustling through some stuff for no reason at all. Hopefully the wench would get a hint, and leave me the hell alone. I felt a finger jab me in the shoulder a couple of times. Heh no such luck.
"What?" I asked harshly.
"I said hey." Lisa replied smartly.
"So?" I said still looking through my book bag.
"Can I come over this afternoon?" she asked sweetly.
"Hell no." I answered finally looking into her eyes and glaring.
"Oh come on Kai. You know you want me." she said trying to pull off a seductive voice. Hence the word trying and may I add failing miserably?
"Get off my desk." Calypso replied. Her voice was a bit cracky verifying that Serena had told me the truth about her not talking for over a week. I was surprised she had even said anything as was Lisa.
"Make me." Lisa said giving Calypso a death glare.
Calypso didn't change a single look on her face as she slowly stood up. Not once did she blink either. A lump grew in my throat and I was afraid for Lisa for a moment. Yeah, it's a scary look if you feel bad for Lisa. Suddenly, without any warning Calypso easily flipped the desk tossing Lisa onto the floor. Normally it would have been down right hilarious, but under the circumstances nobody said or did anything. Then with the same casual ease as before she flipped the desk back up and pulled out her chemistry textbook.
Lisa just sat there on the floor in total shock and humiliation. Not a single soul asked if she was okay or tried to help her. Even her best friend Mary stood there not moving. Finally, after about two minutes of sitting stupidly on the floor she got up and brushed her skirt off. It was Mid-October and the dumbass was still wearing skirts. Even I was atleast wearing a jacket.
"Look tramp." Lisa began slamming Calypso's chemistry book closed. " you better watch yourself or your gonna regret ever messing with me."
"Heh. I already regret having seen your face." Calypso said looking directly into Lisa's eyes. Glare meeting glare. "Ever since I moved here life has been nothing but a living hell. Try whatever you want, I can take it, and quite frankly I don't give a damn. The entire time you mess with me you're only making a fool out of yourself."
As Calypso finished saying this the teacher walked in and class began. Not once did she even glance my way. I didn't wanna make it seem like I was desperate to talk to her. Even though I was. Although looking at her out the corner of my eye I noticed that her skin was awfully pale and the bruises on her face hadn't completely healed. Now I was worried. If I couldn't talk to her maybe I could write her? The door to the class swung open and Tala ran in all out of breathe. He apologized to the teacher and turned to sit down. At the sight of Calypso all color drained from his face and I noticed that he swallowed hard. Very slowly he went to his seat almost tiptoeing. What the hell! He was more afraid of her than me. Damn he's a sissy.
All through class he was fidgety, constantly looking from the board to Calypso. Thankfully Brooklyn said something just as I was about to hit him with my text book. I've got good aim, so I knew I wouldn't have hit Calypso.
"Dude, what's your deal?" Brooklyn asked leaning back in his chair.
"Uh…um..Calypso?" Tala slowly began.
She didn't say anything. All she did was turn her head toward him. A shiver ran down my spine. When is she gonna stop this freaky behavior?
"C-Can I talk to you at l-lunch-ch?" he finally finished after about five minutes of stuttering.
There was silence for a moment before she asked "Why?". Her tone had yet to change from when she had spoken to Lisa earlier.
"Its something…important about…about last weekend." he informed her.
That's
it I couldn't hold back now. I picked up my book and flung it at Tala.
There was a loud THUMP as the book hit his head before it made a
slapping noise when it hit the floor. I didn't move. All I did was
glare at him with pure rage. Then he surprised me by picking up my book
and handing it back.
"Mr. Hiwatari!" the teacher yelled. "Would you
mind telling me what that noise was and why Mr. Ivanov had to hand your
chemistry book back to you?"
"Yes." I replied sarcastically.
"Excuse me?" she asked blinking her eyes rapidly in that kind of Are-you-getting-smart-with-me look.
"Yes I would mind. And I don't feel like telling you." I informed her.
"Fine then you can tell the principal." she said pointing at the door.
I scooted my chair back and casually walked out the door with my hands in my pockets. Once I was in the hallway I decided to visit the drink machines for a soda before heading to Mr. Dickenson's office. This was kinda out of character for me, but I couldn't stand being in that class any longer. Tala's stupidity, Calypso's behavior, my curiosity and feelings, it had all started to give me a headache. When I reached the bench outside the principal's office I was completely shocked and thrown off guard to see Tala and Calypso already there.
"What're you two doing here?" I asked taking a seat on the bench across from them.
I was kinda surprised that Tala had the nerve to sit next to her. Maybe he had more guts that I gave him credit for. But I still wanted to know why they were there.
"We got into trouble. Why do you think we're here?" Calypso snapped at me.
She sat there with her arms folded across her chest leaning back in the seat. This girl was as cold as I was.
"So can I tell you the truth now that we got out of class?" Tala asked. Surprisingly he didn't stutter or flinch.
It dawned on me then as to why they were here. Never once had the thought even crossed my mind that she'd actually consider listening to him.
I didn't say anything. Casually I leaned back on the bench, and drank from my soda enjoying the coolness as it quenched my thirst.
"I'm waiting." Calypso stated after a few minutes of silence.
Muwahahaha. So ends Ch.7. I hope he has a good excuse. He he of course I'd know I'm the authoress! He he He
I want to send a special thanks to SilverPhoenix007 and DemonicStormFox ( I apologize if I spelled your names wrong in any way) for taking the time to give me awesome reviews. But I still bow down before the two of you for your superior writing skills. I will never match up to the greatness of some writers. One in particular is the author of Drowning in the Clouds. I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. Well till next time LATER!
