Believe In My Love
Chapter 6...Suspense
"Five days... That's all... All I have to do, is wait five days, and she can be off my back!" Raimundo was practically ripping his hair out.
"Dude, relax... We can avoid Adrenia until then." Jack tried to change the subject. There was something else bothering him, but at the time, it wasn't bothering Raimundo. Even though, Jack thought it should. "You should be worrying about other things... Like the deal you made with Young?"
"Ugh! I can't, Adrenia is going to be bugging me, and I'll be completely jumpy... I can't stand it!" Raimundo began to pace.
"Rai-bear!" Someone screamed. Raimundo's eyes widened as he tried to put Jack infront of him. But, since Jack was shorter, it didn't work. "Raimundo!" She laughed, practically throwing Jack out of the way. "Were you trying to hide from me?" She suddenly became seductive.
Raimundo simply blinked, trying to avoid her eyes. He knew, he'd get caught if he didn't.
"Raimundo?" He couldn't look up, he didn't dare. Adrenia cupped his chin in her hand and pulled his head up, forcing him to look in her eyes.
"Yeah?" He asked, trying to blink as much as possible.
She smiled and kissed him passionately on the lips. He smiled inside his mind as he caved, closed his eyes, and kissed her back.
You idiot! You idiot, idiot, idiot! You don't love her! You love Kimiko! Pedrosa, get over it!
Suddenly, his eyes jerked open as he pulled apart.
"What's wrong?"
"I... I just forgot! My brother's birthday today! I can't miss it... Jack, don't you remember?" He look at his friend, just recovering from getting toppled over.
"No..." He shook his head, as Adrenia's whipped around to Raimundo. She put her hands on her hips.
"Remember?" he said through clenched teeth.
"Oh yeah! THAT brother... I forgot... Let's go." He skipped away, expecting Raimundo to follow, but instead, him and Adrenia just stared at the guy skipping down the street.
"I better go stop him before he makes a fool of himself." Raimundo sprinted down the street and past Jack, punching him in the back in the process. It made him stumble forward, but nonetheless, start running.
"Shit jack... Shit..." Raimundo ran faster, as Jack slowed down. He could still sense Adrenia's piercing dagger glare from two blocks down the street. And that was a lot, considering it be Rio.
"Rai... wait!" Jack choked out.
"Well, we have to go home now!"
"Why?"
"Cause, if she wants to prove that's what's going on, then she can!"
"Does she even know where - "
"Dont ask what you were going to say..." Raimundo muttered, slowing to a walk.
"Why not?"
"Are you retarded Jack?" Raimundo stopped dead, and faced his friend, with a seriously look on his face.
Jack opened his mouth to reply.
Yes he is...
"Wait! Don't answer that!" Raimundo had to smirk. That voice was helping him so much, he thought maybe it was good to have him around.
You just admitted it! You like having me in your head!
I do not!
Do too!
Maybe just a little... You help with a lot of stuff... Not only Kimiko, but... I dunno, helping me tell Jack he's an idiot.
Hey, I take pride.
Something suddenly hit Raimundo. "Only five days..."
"Yeah... You knew that." Jack said smugly.
"No... I haven't even explained this to my parents!" Raimundo went back to panic mode.
"What'd you tell them, Mum, Dad I'm going to have some people over for a foreign exchange program, sign this, okay I love you! and then leave?"
"Well... Yeah!" Jack smacked his head.
"You idiot!"
"You aren't so smart yourself!" Raimundo snapped. He looked down the street, and sought out where they were. "We've been going the wrong way!" he reported. "We've just brought ourselves two miles away from my house."
"Greeeeat! That'll take forever to get there."
"Grab a cab Jack!" Raimundo called as he took off running. Jack stared in disbelief, but moaned and ran after him.
"I don't have any money!" He tried to get his friend to stop, but it was no use. "Shit!" He cursed as he tried to run faster.

Kimiko tapped her nails on her desk. Only four days... She breathed as she glanced at the clock. God why does time have to be so slow! She whined in her head, when suddenly a note flew onto her desk. She looked around infront of her. She must have been staring at the clock harder than she thought. Everyone looked like they were paying attention.
Taking the note, she practically ripped it open in hopes of finding something to occupy her time.
Staring at the clock is not going to make time go faster...
Kimiko sat up straight now. She wanted to know how gave her the note, and she intended to find out. She made a little noise with the note, to see ugh... Aaron. (1... Check Author's note)
Get a life Aaron.
She flicked it hard against the back of his head. Where he grunted softly and picked it up from the ground. He glanced a in his opinion 'sexy' look back to her, that made Kimiko want to barf.
Oh, come now... The little chickidee don't want to talk?
The smug look on his face got smugger as her eyes narrowed.
You know I don't want to, so quit passing me notes. You're going to get me in trouble.
That's a risk I'm willing to take.
Kimiko shook her head in disgust. Ever since Kieko and Aaron broke up... Aaron had been all over Kimiko. Just like Tyler had been all over Kieko. God, do those two need a hobby or what? She questioned in her head.
She suddenly got an idea. She raised her hand and waited for the teacher to call on her.
"Yes, Miss Tohomiko."
"Yeah, Umm Aaron keeps passing me this note, and I tried to tell him to stop so I could pay attention... And he didn't."
There were muffled cries of laughter in the room as Aaron's face flushed. Kimiko almost had to look away from the face the teacher was giving her.
"Well, come now... bring it up." More laughs, this time, not so muffled came as Kimiko walked proudly to the front of the class.
Everyone knew Kimiko could be a bitch when she wanted to. Sometimes worse than Ashley, but... Whenever Kimiko decided to be a bitch, as long as it wasn't them she was being bitchy to, everyone always thought it was funny.
The teacher gently took the note and looked it over, having to hide a grin himself. "Well now..." There was a chuckle in his voice. "Mr. Taylors, do you have anything to say for yourself before we start?"
No one knew what the teacher meant, including Aaron, so he simply shook his head.
"Mr. Taylors wrote... Staring at the clock is not going to make it go faster.
Get a life Aaron. Was written by Miss Tohomiko.
Oh come now..." This part, he began to laugh before he continued. "Oh come now... The little chickidee don't wanna talk?" This time, no one even tried stopped their laughs.
They knew Aaron could be a flirt, but the ways he attempted to flirt weren't known to many people. And catching him in the note process didn't work most of the time either. But this time, it was revealed how cheep he was.
"You know I don't want to, so quit passing notes. You're going to get me in trouble." The teacher shook his head, as he attempted to put back on a straight face. "That's a risk I'm willing to take. And there's the end."
Everyone was laughing, accept Aaron and Kimiko. All of the blood from Aaron's face completely left it, making him look whiter than albino white, and Kimiko's smug expression deepend with the more laughs that came.
"Okay class... After this little episode... Let's get back to class - "
Riiiiiiiing!
Everyone shot from their seats out of class. It was great to know Kimiko accomplished something in that boring class.
"Kim, Kimi!" Someone called from out. Kimiko's face brightened as she saw Kieko running towards her. She came up to her, and Kimiko was so excited to speak.
"Kieko, something amazing happened in class!"
People coming out of the classroom, hearing that comment laugh. The only one amoungst those people wasn't laughing. It was Aaron. It caught Kieko's eye and she smirked. "Tell me!" She said, as she began walking, just as Aaron did.
"Okay, so Aaron, once again started flirting with me!" Kimiko also started walking, aware of Kieko's plan.
"Jerk!" Kieko breathed.
"And, I told him to stop writing me notes... Then, I told the teacher he was passing me notes, and the teacher read the note to the whole class. The teacher... the teacher that only smiles to know it alls, laughed! Because he read the part of Aaron saying 'What little chickidee don't wanna talk?' Oh my god, it was hiliarious!" They both began to laugh, but Aaron caught on.
"The only reason why you're being such a bitch to me Kimiko is because I was too good for Kieko! You want me, but you'd rather not break a friendship, because you're afraid I'm too good for you! So that if I dump you, you won't be able to crawl back to her!" He shot, and by this time, Omi had joined them.
All three of them cracked up.
"FYI Aaron... I have a boyfriend... And he's way better than you'll ever be!" Kimiko said between laughs.
"You wouldn't know a good girl if she smacked you across the face ten times fast!" Omi exclaimed.
"You look see Kieko, you moved from me, the most popular guy in the grade (yes he is...), to short, round, and yellow!" He shot, which made Omi back down. "You think on what I said!"
The girls giggled, and Kieko began to talk and walk. "Don't let him get to you Omi, he's just jelous because you're so great!" She turned when she got no answer, along with Kimiko, to see no more Omi.
"Where'd he go?" Kimiko asked.
Kieko only bit her lip, cursing Aaron in her mind.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Omi skid yet another corner.
What if Aaron is right... What if I'm not good enough for Kieko. What if I just end up hurting her... Waisting her time... What if Aaron was good for her, and I'm not... What if Kieko turns out not to be friends with me after this... What if this relationship doesn't move anywhere... What would happen? What's going to happen? I just don't know about this relationship anymore...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Have you seen Omi?" Kieko asked Clay.
"Nope, haven't seen him... Why?"
"I dunno, it's just... I haven't seen him since yesterday at school, since Aaron had his little spazz."
"I heard about that." Clay stated.
"Who hasn't?" Kieko shrugged. "I dunno, I get the feeling what Aaron said got to Omi."
"Kieko, most things like that don't bug Omi, he's proud and loves to say he's short, round, and yellow."
"Are you sure Clay?"
"Positive..."
"Okay!" She smiled and hugged him. "You ready for this?"
"Three more days, I can't wait to see Brazil... Anything to get out of the busy city of Tokyo... Like, the city that NEVER sleeps... And I mean that literally."
"Well, expect Rio to be the same. Kimi said she went there with her dad when she was little... She almost got lost!" She smiled sweety at Clay who's face dropped to nervous.
"Well - "
"Don't sweat it Clay!" Kimiko came in, having heard their conversation for several seconds. "We will all be in good hands... And since the reunion is a world wide thing, a lot of people from Brazil should be gone."
"Wouldn't that be... more people were in Brazil?"
"Come now Kieko, don't give Clay such nonsense." They turned around. "I don't want him all freaked out."
The girls snickered and turned back to Clay, "Well, we should be going!" Kieko said in a rather haste.
"Yeah! See you tomorrow Clay!" Kimiko dashed off.
"Funny... I thought they were telling each other more people would be there... But, like Raimundo says, maybe my obsession over beef is making me go too far..." He muttered something to himself. (Clay's so stupid sometimes.) With that, he was about to walk away, when he was stopped by someone.
"Clay?"
"Hey Omi." He said simply. "Wait... Omi?"
"Yeah..."
"Kieko was lookin' for you just now -"
"I know..."
"Why don't you go talk to her?"
"I need advice."
"Oh?" Clay suddenly became confused.
"I get the feeling what Aaron said really got to Kieko."
"Omi, most things like that don't bother Kieko. She's proud and loves to be known as your girlfriend."
"Are you sure Clay?"
"Positive..." He smiled and high fived him.
"Thanks!" He ran off, happy he got the advice he wanted.
"I think I just got a major deja vu... But, I can't be sure..." (so at this point, Clay is really REALLY stupid... 2... Check author's note)
He shrugged, and began to walk, hoping not to get stopped again, but he did.
"What do ya'll want now!" He cried in frustration and irritation.
"Oh, sorry Clay." A gently voice spoke to him as his eyes shot open.
"Oh god! Sorry Sakura!" (3... Check Author's note) Clay felt heat rise to his cheeks. Keep it cool buddy, you can talk to her. "I thought you were someone else."
"Advice again?" Sakura asked with a giggle as they began walking.
"Yeah... Sucks to be the only smart one in the group." (hahaha!)
She giggled, knowing he was so unaware. She didn't know what to say, and she could feel heat lift steadily to her cheeks.
"Clay..." She stopped then, and turned to face him. "There's something I need to say."
This is the moment Clay! She's gunn admit she likes you, you've heard from so many people that she likes you, she's finally gunna tell you!
"Go ahead..." That thought reassured him.
"I know you like me."
"I will be your boyfriend."
There was silence.
"Wait... what?" He asked, confused.
"I know that you like me."
"Ugh. Is that all you were going to say?"
"Well, -"
"No, you know? You get my hopes up all the time when you stop, stare at me, and tell me you need to tell me something... I'm sick of it... So, I'm just gunna stop you before you say something retarded like always." He stomped away, leaving Sakura in confusion.
"I was just gunna say that I liked you too..." She whispered, tears filling her eyes.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Raimundo quickly got out some extra blankets from the closet and set them on the bed. Then he went to the next room, and put out extra pillows.
"Rai, they aren't like in the doorway, why you getting ready now?" Jack asked, an obviously amused expression was planted on his face.
"Jack, they come tomorrow! I need everything to be perfect!"

Check Author's Note
1) After breaking up with Kieko, like Tyler (Kim's BF in foreign exchange, when she and Raimundo got in their first fight over Yuri) he's all over the other one. Thus, Aaron will be after Kimiko, and Tyler will be all over Kieko... It works, right? He's really retarded, I know, and he's such a player, thus the fact he doesn't go after more his type... AKA, Ashley.
2) Sorry to all those Clay fans who adore Clay and don't think he's stupid, but he's gotta be the stupid relief on that side of the world... Just like Jack is on the other said. Again, sorry if I've offended you.
3) Clay still like Sakura, so he's nervous about talking to her. Just thought I'd make sure you all still knew that :D
