Believe In My Love
Chapter 8... Please Say There's A Turn Around
..."Raimundo!" She called, only him and three other people to look at her...
She waved to him with a small smile as he waved back.
"How do you know her?" Adrenia snapped. "She completely budded in on our conversation!" If he says girlfriend, I'm going to freak... He's mine! Even if that is his girlfriend, that doesn't mean I'll leave him alone... I'll drive her away...
"Yeah, who exactly is that one?" Jack asked, eyeing the two girls whispering something back and forth. There looked like there was someone behind them, but he couldn't tell.
"Kim, who's he talking to?" Kieko asked.
"I don't know who she is, but she looks pissed... In a smug way."
"I've decided something." Ashley bud in. "They won't go for Crystal Mars... I need something else."
"You might be right... How about Rachel?" Kieko said.
"With, something simple... How about Spicer?... From America. You're part of a travel school program, and were recently in Japan."
"Okay, gotcha." She whispered back, moving out with a crowd of people.
Soon Omi stepped up behind Kieko. "Why are we standing here?"
"There's a cat fight with Raimundo and that girl." Kieko pointed out for the first time. None of them had noticed.
"Who is that?" Clay asked.
"Yeah, we know her!" Kimiko said, sarcasm dripping in her hot-headed voice.
"We do?"
"That was sarcasm Clay!" Omi punched Clay in the arm.
"Those are just my foreign exchange students!" He practically yelled at Adrenia, standing in his face. Raimundo then motioned his four friends to come over.
They came over, with Kimiko grinning widely. She put her stuff on the ground, and went and hugged Raimundo. He hugged her back, out of pure reflex.
Kimiko then did something unspeakable (In Adrenia, Adrenia's friend, and sorta Jack's eyes). She pulled back and kissed him.
He closed his eyes, not wanting to feel weird, and kissed her, until there was a hard push at him, breaking him and the small Japanese girl apart.
"YOU KISSED HER!!!" She wailed (think of her as that Monique person on 'She's the man' when she walks out after 'Sabastion' breaks up with her for the first time).
"Yeah?" Kieko and Kimiko said at once, giving each other confused expressions.
Great... You see what kind of trouble you're getting yourself into... You know what's coming next... The voice in his head reminded him how he had just screwed up.
"He's my boyfriend, why wouldn't I?" Kimiko shrugged.
"BOYFRIEND!?!?!" Adrenia spazzed, obviously very angry. "You have a girlfriend Raimundo?!"
Raimundo opened his mouth to explain, but Kimiko spoke first. "Yeah, did you tell them Rai?"
He opened his mouth again, but then Adrenia spoke. "No, he didn't." Then she eyed Kimiko up.
Kimiko had a black tank top with white wrist warmers, and a white Japanese symbol on the front, with faded jeans, and black boots. Her hair was a summer blonde and down, with side bangs covering one of her eyes. Her purse was white, with black rhinestones and a black cursive K on it.
"Who are you suppose to be, queen goth?" Adrenia snapped.
"Who are you suppose to be, Britney Spears with hair?" Kimiko shock back looking at Adrenia. After looking, she formed a look on her face, that changed her mind about something. "Oh, I'm sorry... Do you have hair? Cause, it could be Britney without..."
Adrenia had on tight black capris with a neon pink mini skirt over it, a black tank top with neon pink stipes with blonde hair pulled back in a black headband with black wrap around heels.
Adrenia sent a death glare. She was just about ready to slap Kimiko. Slap her hard while she was at it.
Jack tried to muffle a laugh. He knew he shouldnt' be laughing at the current conversation, but that burn really dissed Adrenia's taste in fashion.
The others knew they shouldn't step into this raging verbal cat fight, but someone had to do something. Finally, 'Ashley' came in to save the day.
"Umm hey," everyone turned to her, Adrenia having a scowl on her face, while Kimiko lightened hers. "does anyone know who Adrenia Karenas is?"
"Yeah, that's me?" She asked, her face also lightening. In the mean time, Kimiko and Kieko's dropped.
"Umm, yeah, I guess you're my host for the foreign exchange reunion." She forced a smile.
"WHAT?!?!" Kieko and Kimiko both said, causing everyone to stare.
"We have to go to the same house as that!?" Kieko cried out, going into a panic.
"Yeah right... I'm only waiting for a... Kimiko Tohomiko, Kieko Tanaka, and an Ash-"
"It's Rachel... I guess it screwed up the name."
"You don't look like you're japanese."
"Again, it screwed up... I was born in America."
"Raimundo!" Adrenia suddenly squealed. "So this is the foreign exchange student you said you went out with before?"
Everyone who just got off the plane's eyes popped out of their heads, including Ashley's.
"Eeeeummm... Yeah!" Raimundo smiled nervously.
"You never went out with her..." Kimiko muttered.
"How would you know?" He shot back in defense, hearing what she had said.
"You never told me... You told me that there was only one person you were interested in, but you stood tall and played it cool, but with me you melted... you said there was only one!" She hissed.
"I don't need to tell you everything!"
That shut Kimiko up. Tears welled in her eyes, but Raimundo held his ground.
Ashley knew she should say something, but, she didn't know what. She knew in the end, Kimiko would want to have the plan kept up. "Oh, I remember!" Ashley smiled widely, as the tears slipped slowly from Kimiko's eyes.
"You do?" Raimundo asked.
"Yes!" She took his arm, knowing that Kimiko should know she was acting. "I loved that play you took me too, it was great! I've never seen something so cultural before."
Raimundo's cocky, and charming smile perked on again.
You do realize that your girlfriend is sitting over there crying, right? The voice reminded him. Raimundo's eyes darted to Kimiko, who simply looked away. But he could tell she was trying to hold back tears.
I'm holding my ground, she had no right!
You didn't have a right to lie to her either... This Rachel, I don't know who she is, but she obviously remembers, even though it never happened.
Raimundo bit his lip, and pulled back from her. "Umm... Well... Jack, this is Omi and Clay... And Kieko and... Kimiko."
Jack finally felt as if he knew what was going on, and gave a death glare to his friend, that he hoped nobody caught it (but they all did), before turning with a stupid grin on his face. "Nice to meet you guys, heard so much about you... Especially... Clay, was it? Yours and Raimundo's beef joke."
Clay closed his eyes in irritation and shook his head. He smiled, although, he knew he shouldn't, because it wasn't the time.
"Kim-"
"Yeah whatever..." She sounded more mad now than anything.
"Why didn't you tell us Raimundo?" Adrenia asked, her anger flairing again.
"I'm starved!" That's just the thing Clay needed to say. "Let's go eat guys! Raimundo, Jack?"
"Yeah... yeah let's!" Jack grabbed the back of Raimundo's shirt and dragged him away.
"Right... We should be going too." Ashley agreed, and they all left.
"How do you think you are?" Adrenia asked out of the blew.
"Me? Who do you think you are? Raimundo and I were going out!"
"Were?" She asked, a smug look came to her face.
"Are... are going out..." It sounded like Kimiko was trying to convince herself.
Perfect... Adrenia thought.
Kieko blinked, and glanced at Ashley, who had the same expression on her face.
"And, to answer you question..." Adrenia started up the conversation again, pulling everyone from their thoughts. "Raimundo and I were going out before he left..."
"One date!" Kieko managed to blurt.
"How did you - "
"Raimundo and I were on the swim team." Kieko shrugged.
"You? On a swim team? Please! You probably don't know how to swim! Raimundo on the other hand, he's been in the water since he was two! It's Rio babe!"
"Well, babe for your information, Raimundo and I tied in a race."
"Beginner's luck!" she snorted.
"Kieko has been swimming since she was two aswell!" Kimiko stepped in.
"Oh, is that so? And what did you wow Raimundo with Kimeeko?"
"It's Kimiko, Adreaniay."
"It's Adrenia."
"I like my way better..." Kimiko mumbled.
"You listen here..." Adrenia warned, stopping dead, and getting up into her face. "Raimundo is mine, and we were going out before you stepped in bitchy mc bitch bitch, so step down, otherwhise you're going to have hell to pay. You're nothing to him! He didn't even tell you he was going out with Rachel!"
Kimiko simply cocked her head, still amused.
"And for your information Kimiko... He kissed me when he got back!"
Kimiko's first instict was stunned, but she knew better than that. "Ha! Yeah right... You can have your fun Adrenia, but you aren't breaking me."
Adrenia's face dropped to annoyed as she turned around and stomped away, the girls snickering behind her.
"What was that Rai?" Jack punched him in the arm. "We've had no exchange student's from America!"
"I... I didn't even know Adrenia heard me say that! I swear!"
"And you still agree!?"
"So did she!!" Raimundo shot back in defense.
"Rai..." Omi started. They all looked at him. "You think maybe she was trying to get out of the cat fight that this chick and Kimiko were in?"
Raimundo slapped his head. "I'm an idiot, aren't I?"
"Kim's gunna need some cooldown time, I'll let you know that, Par'ner." Clay tipped his hat.
"On the bright side, Kimiko's completely cute!" Jack's eyes widened.
"Heh, I told you!" Raimundo smirked. They walked ahead of Omi and Clay, just a little out of earshot, for an airport.
"Is it me, or is Raimundo totally different here than in Japan?"
"It's like, he's more comfortable with being a jerk." Clay replied.
"I have a bad feeling this will be an Ashley all over again."
"So, do, I... But then again, that's what Ashley is here for, right?"
"Ashley's gunna do what?" Omi asked, confusion filling his aurora.
"Yeah, didn't the girls tell you? Ashley, or, Rachel, is gunna flirt with Rai, see if he goes to her, Kim knows there is something up, and going to do something about it."
"Oh."
"They didn't tell you?" Clay asked, confusion now spread over himself aswell.
"No... They didn't." Omi answered, his trust sort of swaying, at the thought.
"Hey, Adrenia..." Kimiko fumed, already hating this girl.
"Yes, friend?" Sarcasm filled her tone.
"Did anyone ever tell you you're a bitch?" Kimiko almost laughed, as Adrenia tried to maintane herself.
"Hey Kimiko..."
"Yes, person I don't consider a friend, even with sarcasm?"
"Ahhhh!" She screamed, almost ripping her hair out. "You are the most ANNOYING person I have ever met!"
"Wrong!" Kieko smiled.
"You're the most annoying person anyone has ever met." Kimiko corrected.
"I CANNOT BELIEVE MY MOM PUT ME UP TO THIS!!!"
"I cannot believe Clay picked such a sucky reunion." Kieko muttered to no one in particular.
Kimiko was looking at her friend, when suddenly she bumped into someone. She was just about to tell them to watch it, but then she looked up.
"Oh, sorry, my fault." There was a strong hand extended to her, and Kimiko tenderly took it with a smile. "My name's Alex."
"I'm Kimiko." She smiled at him.
There's your chapter! Yay! I hope you enjoyed it! Something, although many of you probably didn't notice, very important happened in that chapter! And, haha that Britney Spears pun, I'm not sure if anyone else will laugh, but I know I am lawlz... I cannot believe I came up with that. Sorry if it was lame... And wow, go figure... Rachel... Who knew Adrenia listened when she was focused on something completely differen. Hmm... Okay, I'll need 7 REVIEWS...
