Believe In My Love
Chapter 12...Impression
Before I start... I have a dedication:
Stormy Dreamer
She helped me guide my ideas the right way for this chapter, and still writes extremely long reviews... Thanks! I love long reviews!
Sunday was a very quiet day. Adrenia's mum insisted they meet up with the boys, and it was hard for Raimundo, Kimiko, Kieko, or Omi not to burst on someone else, but it was completely silenced beside Clay's snort once and a while when they ate.
Finally, as soon as a couple of hours went by, Jack dragged them home, thinking the silence was going to choke him.
They all went to sleep early knowing (1... Check Author's Note) tomorrow would be... interesting.
Running.
The tapping of feet on the hard ground.
The soft breath being exhaled in a huff.
The movement of a girl of fourteen years running, panting.
She ran, as fast as she could, but a turn was coming up. Not knowing where to go, she almost tried to go both ways, but fell in the process.
Voices.
There was laughter behind her.
Two voices.
One was male, the other female.
The girl bit her lip... There was no escaping now.
She put her head on the ground, wanting to hide.
Suddenly, the laughing turned to the male voice yelling, and the female voice crying.
Soon, there was no female voice at all.
The footsteps stopped, and there was a slight air disturbence next to her.
Looking up, the girl saw the familiar tan face, chocolate brown hair, emerald green eyes, and caring yet smug smile she had so dearly missed.
He extended his hand, "Hey stranger."
The girl couldn't speak... It was too good to be true. The nightmare had passed.
It was over.
She took his hand, and he hoisted her up.
Then they began to move.
A small sound of laughter filled the air.
They were moving quickly now...
Running...
Kimiko's eyes opened. Was it just a dream? Why couldn't it be real? Why couldn't the nightmare have passed?... Why not? Looking at her clock, she saw it was five fifteen. Grumbling, she knew she didn't have to get up for another half an hour, so she turned over.
Five minutes went by and Kimiko threw off the blanket. "Shower time..." Shie whispered, knowing she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.
She tenderly grabbed some clothes, dye, jewelery, and her towl and walked into the bathroom Adrenia's mother had shown them to use.
She turned the water to a full blast hot and stepped in.
Here's what I can do... She thought in her head.
A) Right him a note... Put it in his locker and hope he can get the combo right fast enough.
B) Confront him... Grab him before we go into class, and hope we don't start yelling...?
C) Get Jack to talk to him for me... Jack has nothing against me... Aww, he's such a cutie! He'll help me... He wants me and Rai to be happy, I can just tell from his aurora.
As she stepped out of the shower, and dried herself off, then put on white knee length capris,a red half length shirt that fell off her shoulders, revealing white tank top straps, red flip flops, and a white purse. The she applied strawberry blonde dye to her hair, and added red hilights.
Then, she put on light making and nodded her head in the mirror after glasping a locker around her neck. She put her hand to it and whispered, "B it is..."
After Adrenia, Ashley, and Kieko got ready, they all set off to walk to school. It was a bit of a walk, but Adrenia was confident they would get there early enough.
Kimiko and Kieko laughed and talked while Adrenia and Ashley, a ways ahead of them, walked in silence.
"Why are you friends with them?" Adrenia finally asked.
"You have no business of that." Ashley tried to be firm, and look away, but Adrenia only laughed.
"You're only fooling yourself. They aren't your real friends... Otherwhise, they wouldn't have cast you aside."
"You aren't doing what you did to Kimiko and Raimundo Adrenia, I know what you want... I'm not going for it."
"I only... plead... that you listen to what I have to say."
"Oh?" Ashley looked interested, but fakely.
"A proposition..."
Ashley... wasn't faking it anymore.
As the boys waited outside the school everything was quiet. But soon, all of the emo's, goths (discluding jack), and 'dark' people began whispering.
Getting off the bus was Chase, and his pet... Wuya.
Suddenly, it hit Jack and Raimundo. The plan.
"Well... It's not worth it anymore..." Jack muttered, as Chase spotted them and smirked.
Omi and Clay simply looked confused.
"Just turn, like you don't see him." Raimundo grumbled. They all spun around quickly, but that only made Chase chuckle.
He walked up behind them. "A deal is a deal Pedrosa."
"Rai?" Clay asked.
"I umm... Look, I didn't tell them yet... Truth is, I completely forgot... Give me five minutes."
"N-" Wuya started.
"Fine, you have 300 seconds... Five minutes." He walked a ways away.
"Raimundo, what's going on?" Omi asked, completely confused.
"Before you guys came... I made a deal with Chase... Chase Young, and Wuya. If I hung out with them for a week, I dunno know why Chase wants me to be his friend, but... I'm most popular on the normal people side, he's most popular on the goth, emo, dark people... If I hung out with him for a week, he would keep Adrenia off my back, so that Kim and I wouldn't fight. But, that's already too late, but I still have to go through with it."
"You know, there's a way to fix it... If Adrenia stays off of you, Kim will find her chance to talk to you." The plan was layed out in Jack's mind. "It's perfect."
"Fine... we'll go through with it, but who're we suppose to hang with?"
"Jack... The first part of the week, stay with them."
"Rai - "
"No buts... They need people to talk to before you can come with me... If it takes the whole week... So be it."
"60 seconds Pedrosa!" Chase called.
By this time, everyone was trying to figure out what happened. And by this time, Adrenia, Kimiko, Kieko, and Ashley came into view.
"What's going on up there?" Kieko asked Adrenia.
"I dunno, usually the darks and the normals don't hang even close to each other." She didn't sound like she was lying.
"Oh my god!" Kimiko squealed. Everyone looked at her. "Is that Chase? Chase Young?" Ashley and Kieko whipped their heads around to see.
Omi turned to see Chase. He took a good close look. "Dude, Clay... That's Chase!"
"Yeah, Raimundo stated that."
"No, Clay - "
"Omi, is that really Chase?" Kimiko suddenly scrambled up to him and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah!" He whispered back.
"What the heck guys..." Clay began.
"Clay, you weren't here..." Kieko came up behind Kimiko, unexcited by seeing Omi.
"How do you guys know Chase?" Raimundo asked.
"Are you kidding?" Ashley suddenly piped up. "Chase is Aaron's cousin!"
"What?" Raimundo and Clay's jaws dropped.
"Who's Aaron?" Jack finally asked.
"He's..." Kimiko wasn't sure if she should mention it with Omi and Kieko's problem, but she thought Jack deserved to know. "Kieko's Ex..."
Everything fell silent, until Chase came over. Ashley, Kieko, and Kimiko stood tall, but Omi just looked mad.
"My my... If it isn't the whole crew... No wonder I recognized the big yellow head." Chase's eyes narrowed.
"Well Chase... If we would have known you were here, we might not have come." Kieko hissed.
Wrong thing to say. Was the thought in everyone's mind.
The thing with Chase... He wasn't afraid to get right up to a girl. Sure, most people weren't, but to hit a girl... That he wasn't afraid of either.
He raised his fist at Kieko quickly, but someone was quicker.
"That's enough Young... You came to get me... Not them." Raimundo nodded his head, and walked off with the two.
The girls stood dumbfounded.
"Why did - He just- I don't - What the hell?" Adrenia spirt out. (2... Check Author's Note)
"Explain maybe Jack?" Kimiko asked.
Jack bit his lip... they deserved to know... He couldn't keep it in the dark... Omi or Clay would tell them sometime anyways. "He had this plan. For some odd reason, Chase wants them to be friends... Because, Chase is the Raimundo of the 'dark' side... So... He could have like complete control over the school then. Raimundo said he'd give it a week if..." (Note by this time, Adrenia and Ashley (gasp what is she doing??!!) got bored and went to gossip with someone else.) Jack looked to make sure Adrenia was gone. "Adrenia stayed out of Kim and Rai's relationship... So that, Raimundo could hide that he kissed Adrenia and act as though nothing happened so their relationship wouldn't be ruined."
Realization suddenly hit Kimiko... She felt horrible.
Way to go Kim.
She pinched the bridge of her nose tipped her head back with her eyes closed. "I screwed up, didn't I?"
"You didn't know."
"Chase is an ass..." Kieko muttered.
"He's creepy here... We didn't know his cousin was in Japan."
"That's the reason why... Aaron moved their to be closer to his cousin... His cousin left, and Aaron was stuck there..." Omi sigh. "He's a major player... doesn't look related to Chase at all." He sideways glanced at Kieko who was looking at the ground, shifting uncomfortably.
"I need to talk to him." Kimiko decided.
"You don't want to get involved with Chase."
"Trust us..." Omi started, glancing at Kieko and catching her eye.
"She already has." Kieko ended.
They watched as Kimiko marched away, determined to find Chase.
As Kimiko walked inside the school, her eyes practically popped out of her head. She knew it was big, but she didn't know it'd be this big. She began to walk, but her head turned back and forth as her eyes darting around. She suddenly bumped into someone.
"Sorry..." she mumbled, knowing she had to get right down to business.
"Kimiko?"
Her head shot up. She knew that voice... "Alex?"
"Look, I'm sorry about what happened with Raimundo."
"I'm so- "
"I really wanna make things right." He continued.
"Look, Ale - "
"So, I was wondering... " He took her hands in his. "If you would give me a chance."
"I seriousl - " He wouldn't have her words, he looked really nervous, and didn't want any questions asked.
"A real chance."
"I..." Kimiko didn't know what to say.
"So... Kieko... She's your girlfriend?" Chase asked, trying to bring up conversation. (3... Check Author's Note)
Raimundo hadn't really been into any of the talk, but this subject upset him.
"No." He said rather flatly.
"Who... Ashley?"
Raimundo couldn't help but laugh at this statement. "You think I'm retarded?"
"Aaron said you dated her."
"That was when I was retarded... There's a difference."
"Right." Chase didn't want to be mean... But, he couldn't help but think Raimundo was still stupid. Then he stopped. "Wait... Kimiko's your girlfriend?"
"I don't know." Raimundo looked down.
"Well congrats... She was hot."
"Was?"
"When I went to Relik... That is..."
"What, you think Wuya's hot now?"
"Are you kidding?" Chase laughed, as his golden eyes glowed. "Well... I mean, for me, she's the okay hot... But Kimiko... Now... she's just... Wow! You're lucky to go out with her..."
"She gave some pretty evil looks to you."
"Meh, Kieko's her best friend, Aaron's my cousin... What can one expect."
"What did Aaron do?"
"Dumped Kieko... You see... They were real good friends, and they decided to give it a chance. Then, after dinner, they kissed, and after that, you know, they were still close, Kieko said I love you... And Aaron got up and left."
"Wow... You have an ass for a cousin."
"Yeah... Well, it was right and wrong on his part."
"Yeah, he screwed up."
"He wanted a chance with Kimiko... By dumping Kieko like that... It would never work... He made his point there... But a bad mouth like Kieko... I don't see what he saw in her."
Raimundo rolled his eyes. Chase was an ass... Just like Aaron. "You're real nice."
"What?"
"That was sarcasm."
"I knew that..." He muttered, although it was a lie.
They were then standing by Raimundo's locker. He opened it, and began to grab out books.
"Is this the picture of you to?" Chase nodded to a couple pictures hanging on the locker door. One was of Raimundo pushing Kimiko into a pool with her clothes on, another of her using her 'charm' affect to get Raimundo to fall into the pool with his clothes on. Then the last picture was of them both in the pool, Raimundo tredding water, smirking and holding Kimiko bridal style, and she was smiling sweety. Both were soaked to the bone, but they didn't care... They were happy... with each other.
"Yeah." He sigh.
"You don't sound very happy." Chase shrugged. (4... Check Author's Note)
"It was us... I don't know if you can really call it breaking up, but we had a really big fight."
"About?"
"How is that any of your business."
"Hey, you know Pedrosa..." He hissed. "We're friends for the week." His eyes narrowed as a smug expression swept across his face.
Raimundo only rolled his eyes. "I kissed Adrenia, and she kissed Alex... She yelled at me, when she did the same thing, and I 'slept' although, man it so did not happen, with Ashley. We never tecnically broke up, but I think it's over... I screwed up."
"Takes two."
"What?"
"It takes two to screw it up... Just like it takes two to start it... It's relevent."
"I did more though... She'll never forgive me."
"Well, Adrenia will be out of your way, so maybe you can make that chance happen."
"How're gunna do it?"
"Why would I tell you?" Chase asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey... You know Young," He hissed in a mock tone. "We're friends for a week..." A smug expression swept over his face, as his eyes narrowed, also in a mock tone.
"Fine, you win." He huffed.
"Dude don't pout, it doesn't fit you." Raimundo laughed at his own joke.
"haha..." Chase said with sarcasm. "I pay someone to fall in love with Adrenia."
"That can't be too hard... There are a lot of guys like drooling over her, isn't there?"
"Mmm... some, but not a lot... Since you kissed her."
Raimundo opened his mouth to object, but he heard someone slam their locker. The thing with the lockers at this part of the school was... They made a lot of sound when hit, kicked, or slammed... The students made sure of it, so if I fight, verbal or physical was about to break out, they were going to know about it.
They both looked down the hall to see a very annoyed Omi. Raimundo was curious, but Chase simply chuckled.
"For the last time, I did eat that!"
"Come on Omi, are you trying to tell me you've never tried that... It's like a Japanese tradition!"
"Jack... If you stayed with a Japanese family for a month... They would not make you eat duck tongue!"
"But - "
"It could be a China tradition... but I don't know that."
"Aren't they like the same thing?"
Everyone chuckled at Jack's last comment. Omi simply sigh rolled his eyes.
As soon as all attention was off of them, Omi asked. "Where's Kimiko?" This of course caught Raimundo's attention, sending him into panic... Where had she gone?
She should be with you...
Shut up...
She's probably with Alex... You know that they bumped into each other right.
How do you know that? You aren't physic (sp I know) too are you?
No, I can simply just see down the hallway.
Sure enough... Kimiko and Alex were walking down the hallway laughing at something or another, and Raimundo almost literally let off steam.
He wanted something, anything, that could just like blow a fricken tornado at him, but be gentle around Kimiko. (5... Check Author's Note)
"Why is Alex with Kimiko? He's suppose to be with Adrenia!"
And sorry for the wait, shortness, and craptastic plot. Oh my, what a nice way to end a chapter... Sorry it was so short, but I had to leave a few cliff hangers... What did Kim say to Alex? Why did Chase just say what he did? Why did I not update sooner? Why do I ask all these questions? Do I expect to get a reply? SEVEN - 7 - REVIEWS FOR AN UPDATE!!!!! Just thought you should remember :D

1) This does not go with the plan of Chase's for Raimundo and Jack... This goes for... With Alex and Griffon, and Omi and Raimundo, and Kieko and Kimiko... It was going to be quite a day for all the drama whise... But, Just thought I'd clear that up.
2) Adrenia's dumb. She's like... seriously dumb. Although no one else knows it really, and despite the fact that no one knows the plan... She still is really dumb. The fact she doesn't know what to say right there, and comes up with the most obviously thing on everyones mind, AKA pointing out the obvious states that she's like really really dumb. Like Jack dumb. Wow, that's pretty dumb.
3) Chase is not an ass... I mean, he is to people like Kieko, and like on the lighter and normaler side of people... But he will not be with Raimundo... Because he knows that if he does something stupid again, like trying to hit Kieko... His chance at friendship, or... Chance of ruling the school and having awsome rep in highschool is over.
4) Chase is so setting it... He doesn't really care... I mean, Kimiko's to Chase, hot now... so He's interested in why Raimundo isn't like drooling over her and stuff... But, he doesn't really care. He just wants a fake friendship, he doesn't really want anything to do with Raimundo. Or, maybe, he'll come to like Raimundo, who knows... All I know at the moment, is that Chase is trying to talk about stuff that would interest Raimundo, even though Raimundo's not falling him... that topic, he can't get out of really easily.
5) This refers to an attack that Raimundo can probably do as a Wudai Warrior, Shoku Warrior, or in that sillohete form, I know it it is, but I'm just to lazy to look it up right now. I'm tired, and just want the chapter to end. Anyways OR it could mean the sword of the storm. It works either way... lol.
