Chapter 13: In the dark & unhappy
Calypso's P.O.V.
Why were these two wenches my best friends again? I don't remember set ups being part of a friendship. This just makes it even more difficult to break the truth to them with their boyfriends around. I hadn't even planned on staying because I really need to get over to Serena's house and pack.
Seeing Kai there made matters worse, and it also made me want to stay. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, DAMN! All I could do was sigh heavily as I tried to think of a solution. I've gotta go. I cannot be stuck in the dark with him.
"Look." I began, planting my feet on the ground to stop us from getting any closer. " I agreed to us hanging out, as in the three of us. The number three does not include three guys with us."
"No, but there're three couples." Serena giggled. "So it's still three of us."
"Yeah, we just won't be sitting all together in one group." Sam added.
"What?" I asked snapping my head in her direction.
Both of them smirked at me with evil grins. Oh how I hate it when I get looks like that. Then I saw them reach into their purses and pull out a twenty dollar bill each.
"Twenty bucks says you can't sit with him." Sam challenged.
"Twenty bucks says you won't talk to him in the theater." Serena grinned evilly.
"You two are both lucky that I'm not the type of person who backs down from a challenge." I glared at both of them.
Something told me that I was going to regret this. Why did I have to be so stubborn? One of these days I might learn my lesson. But it would be nice just to let my friends have one more good laugh before I left for a long time.
We all walked inside together and the girls wouldn't let me anywhere near them while they bought tickets for the movie. It was obvious that they were choosing a chick flick just to get on my nerves and erk me some more. (What the hell does erk mean?) The whole plan of theirs was silly, they wouldn't even let me see my own damn ticket. We got our drinks and food, well they did anyway. Did I mention how worried I am about this whole predicament. Hey English class is coming in handy! All I ordered was a soda that way I wouldn't wind up puking all over Kai during the mushy scenes in the movie. He He although that would be funny.
Oddly enough, I was very surprised when the movie turned out to be something called 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse.' Thank god it wasn't any romance crap. I love movies with gore, violence, and death. They're always good. He He He. What would have made it better was if my secret crush wasn't there sitting beside me. What the? Did I just call him my secret crush? No. No. I can't think of him like that. I'm leaving in a couple of days and I hate relationships. Remember Calypso, you do not want to get involved with anyone.
To keep myself from doing anything stupid I folded my arms across my chest and slouched down in my seat next to Kai. Why did I have to get myself into these things? If I really wanted to I could be on my way out of the state right now and beginning a new life along with changing my name and hair color. What was the point? Eventually she'd find me again. Some how the whore always did.
"What made you come tonight?" Kai intervened into my thoughts.
"Huh?" I asked not having done paid attention.
"What made you come tonight?" he asked again.
I just shrugged my shoulders at him and turned my attention back to the screen just disease infected dog chewed on some dead person's body. Yummy. Another few minutes past when something yellow flew past me. I ignored it thinking it to be some idiot kid doing an awesome job at annoying me. Then I felt a piece hit me in the back of my head. This kid was begging me to go off. I put up with about two more minutes of popcorn being thrown at me. When a piece finally landed on Kai's lap I was ready to blow. Not like that! You people are sick. I talking about anger. Anyway, I was really pissed now. I'm the only one with the privilege to hit him with anything. Great now I'm mentally limiting other people of doing things with him. So I turned around with a glare that could kill only to spot my two supposed friends smiling and waving from three rows away. Webster should really change the definition of friendship to 'Look up Torture'. It really sucks ass when your friends take advantage of the whole loyal and protection thing. I simply just narrowed my eyes at them since it was the only thing I could do. Then I turned back around and slouched down even more into my seat.
"Damn bitches" I muttered not realizing that Kai had been paying attention.
FOUR DAYS EARLIER (Monday Afternoon)
Kai's P.O.V.
I was laying around my house. It was a couple hours since I'd walked off from Calypso at school. every time I saw her memories from the day we kissed came back to haunt me. Well not really haunt because they're not all that bad. I mean it was really good. But she's clearly not wanting to get into anything right? It was just one of those things that sorta happen. There is absolutely no connection between the two of us at all. None whatsoever.
What the hell is up with all these stupid T.V channels showing kissing scenes today? Oh wait that's just my mind. Where the fuck did those thoughts come from while I'm watching ESPN? Aw who am I kidding? I like her. That's all there is to it.
Brinng Brrinng
"Hello?" I asked in my monotone voice
"Can I speak to Kai please?" a feminine voice asked from the other side.
Who in the world? Where did this chick get my number from? Why the hell was she calling me? Duh. I was thought to be one of the hottest guys in school. It was probably Lisa or one of her fellow whores.
"What do you want?" I demanded more than asked
"Chill out. Treat Lisa like that not me. Its Calypso's friend Serena." she informed me.
"Serena? Why are you calling me?"
What is she up to? They were probably setting something up behind Calypso's back. Hn. Maybe I'll listen just to see where this goes.
"Do you wanna go to the movies with us Friday? Calypso's going to be there." her voice was in a pleading innocent like tone.
"Why would I care whether or not she's going to be there?" I was putting on my tough act trying to convince myself just as much as I was her that I didn't care.
"Oh quit with the act. This isn't drama class it's a phone conversation." she snapped all innocence from before gone. " Just show up at the mall 7:30 sharp on Friday night if you have the balls."
She hung up rather loudly leaving me dumbfounded. Should I go? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to show up for a little while.
FRIDAY NIGHT
I'm sitting here next to her listening to her grumble to herself about Sam and Serena. I want to talk to her, but others might over hear and I don't want to risk it. Another piece of popcorn flew over my head followed by giggling. Calypso turned around one last time before they finally stopped. For twenty minutes all seemed good until small moaning noises followed by kissing sounds could be heard. For crying out loud its supposed to be a violent horror movie! Although the part with the naked zombie prostitutes is funny. I folded my arms across my chest and slouched down next to Cal.
By the end of the movie they were still going at it. This was truly annoying and I've never been so happy to see the movie credits. We got up and looked at one another deciding on ruining her friends make-outs sessions or not. Again I want to know. How the hell do you make-out during a movie full of blood and violence?
"Don't say anything." Calypso whispered grabbing my hand and dragging me out.
We got out into the cool night air and she let go of my hand. For a moment I kinda missed the feeling of her touch. No. no. Idiot! She's not interested. She's not interested. I'm in complete denial right now. Oh and I'm back to mentally arguing with myself as well. I need a shrink. Calypso inhaled deeply before letting it out slowly with her breath making a little cloud as she did so.
"They're lucky." she stated more to herself than me.
"How's that?" I asked without thinking
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Ah whatever I've been wanting to talk to her anyway. I seriously gotta get myself together. This is getting out of control with me not being able to act like myself around her. Damn it all! Where the hell is the ice barrier around my emotions at? Back to the real world she had gone and sat down on a bench in the shadows. It was off to the side and unless you were paying attention you never would've found the damn thing at night. What surprised me the most was that she acknowledged me to sit beside her. Naturally I did of course. I'm not going to stand there like a moron.
"They have someone." she began. " They have someone who cares for them and loves them. I'm just a loner. Its funny though I've always wanted it like this. Now I have it and I hate it."she sighed almost sounding as if she'd lost a fight.
"You're not alone." I said shoving my hands into my leather jacket and looking ahead. "We're the same…you and I."
"Whatever. You've got family. You've got a home that you can actually go back to. Me. I can't go home. The only damn things I've got left anymore are a couple friends and a car."
So she was giving up I'm guessing? That's not like her at all. What's up with her tonight anyway? Why didn't she show up at school this week? Her eyes glistened in the night and she was biting down on her lower lip.
"Go ahead." I turned my head towards her.
"What?" she asked knowing full well what I was talking about.
Okay this is really starting to bother me. This chick has too much pride. I don't think I even have that much. I hate it when people try to act strong than they truly are. Heh I guess I partially hate myself as well then.
"Cry." It was more of an order than a suggestion.
"I've never cried before and I won't do it now." she implied with a stern tone.
"Fine. Someone cares enough to tell you something that might make you feel better and you blow them off." I said shrugging
"You don't care." she stated hugging herself.
"Then why am I sitting here? You aren't the only one whose a loner. We're the same. I'm admitting stuff right now that I've haven't ever given a second thought about before." It was all coming out and I couldn't stop it. " I have always gone to the movies by myself. I usually don't care what happens to anybody. You're the only girl at school who bothers me because your beautiful and not desperate to be with me. You're the only girl or person for that matter that I want to talk to."
I stopped myself at my last sentence and looked away. My cheeks burned a little and I was a somewhat nervous to look at her again. But when I did a smile was trying to make its way across her face. A lone tear was slowly making its way down her cheek. Without thinking I tipped her chin up and wiped the tear away with my thumb. I couldn't help but smile back a little. We sat there looking deep into one anothers eyes not noticing that our faces were getting closer until our lips met. It was slow at first, but quickly deepened into a passionate kiss. Kinda like the one from the other day. We didn't part untill the damn need for oxyen. Damn you oxygen! Her eyes were bright and carefree for a moment until they suddenly darkened as if she had remembered something.
"What is it?" concern evident in my tone.
"I have to leave for Russia in a couple of days." she sighed. The moment of bliss completely gone.
TO BE CONTINUED...
