Believe In My Love

Chapter 13... Illusion

"What?" Raimundo turned to Chase, who had just spoken.

"That was our plan..." He growled, and was about to stomp over to him, but realized Kimiko had suddenly looked away.

Raimundo simply cocked his head.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Alex..."

"What? We're not going to just because you see your ex?" He spat.

"I never said yes!" She hissed. "You dragged me along!" She turned back, heat raising to her cheeks.

"You never denied."

She then turned away. "I wanted to find Raimundo."

"Can't you just give me a chance?"

"Alex... You know if I wasn't with Raimundo I'd give you a chance... But I can't..." She bit her lip.

Suddenly Chase stomped over. "Alex!" He hissed. "You know where you're suppose to be."

Alex suddenly blushed, and Kimiko became confused. "Where?" She asked.

He simply narrowed his eyes at her. She challenged him. "Where." She stated, not in question form this time.

At that time, the bell rang and everyone scrambled to class except Ashley (wow she's back), Omi, Clay, Kieko, Kimiko, Jack, Chase, Raimundo, and Alex.

"I was... just leaving Chase..." He scrambled away.

"What a brat..." Chase muttered and walked back to Raimundo. "You know where you should be too." Her narrowed his eyes, but Raimundo only gave a challenging look.

"Actually, since I'm not friends with my personal Spicer organizer... I don't know."

"Go! Now!" He pointed to Raimundo's class.

"Don't talk to him like that." They spun around to see Kimiko standing there, the anger still in her cheeks.

"What?" Chase laughed.

"You heard me... I know you may be a little stupid in the head... But I know you aren't deaf."

"You little - "

"Yeah, I know... I take pride." She smiled sweetly. "Now... Last I recalled, you and Raimundo were friends... Friends don't boss each other around like that... Of course... You wouldn't know though... You haven't had any real friends before."

"Yes, I have." He gritted his teeth.

"Who?" She again smiled, but this time it was a smug smile.

"Hannibal."

"Yeah... Umm... Jack, Rai? Do you know a Hannibal?"

"Nope." They both said proudly.

"Kieko, Omi, Clay... Do you know a Hannibal?"

"Nope." They also said proudly.

"And I sure don't... so who is this Hannibal?"

Chase shifted uncomfortably... He didn't like being put in pressure. "He's just my friend, okay?"

"Show him to us." Kieko stepped in.

Chase opened his mouth to speak, but soon Adrenia came out of a class. "Rai! Why aren't you in class honey?"

"Umm, because I was taking care of my foreign exchange students?" He rolled his eyes.

"Why isn't Chase." She mocked Raimundo's eye-roll and put her hands on her hips.

Chase grumbled and went down the hall then turned into a classroom.

"Ashley... Company... You don't have you scheduals yet do you? You're suppose to you know." Adrenia nodded.

"You never gave them to us." Kieko hissed.

"Oops." She shrugged.

She waved them in the air, but Clay snatched them. "Why do you have mine and Omi's too?"

"Umm..."

"Those were in my backpack." Raimundo glared.

"You have them now, bye... And Rai-poo, you should be in class with me!" She kissed him in the cheek and dragged him away.

Kimiko's eyes were crackling with jelousy, and when Clay handed her her schedual, she snatched it almost tearing it.

"Where are all of these classes?"

"Luckily we have it together..." Omi muttered, making the girls giggle.

Kimiko and Clay walked on, wondering about, and Kieko bit her lip, knowing she would have to say something to Omi.

"Omi?" She whispered.

He wanted so much to look at her and say 'I love you!' but he knew he couldn't do that, so he just said, "Yeah?"

"I..." Her courage was leaving her.

"I'm sorry Kieko." He said bluntly and rushed on to meet with Clay, signaling Kimiko she should hang back.

"Did he just...?" Kimiko didn't need to finish, as Kieko was already nodding.

"That's great!" Ashley squealed.

"Ashley, where have you been all morning?" Kieko asked, suddenly realizing they hadn't talked to her at all.

"I umm... yeah... So what are you going to say to Omi?"

Kieko and Kimiko exchanged glances. "Umm, Ashley... Answer the question..." said Kimiko slowly and cautiously.

"I was just talking to other people." She shrugged like it was no big deal.

The two japanese girls rolled their eyes and also shrugged it off. They talked for a bit, knowing they weren't going to find first period, so they decided to skip it and just chat quietly in the halls. (1... Check Author's Note)

Soon, just as everyone interpreted, the subject of Raimundo came up. "Kim... You know... I don't see why you won't go for Alex."

Everyone stared at Ashley in disbelieve. "I mean... Raimundo did kiss that bitch... And Alex is so sweet and nice and..." She trailed off.

"She does actually have a point." Kieko pointed out. "But you've only just met Alex, he could be a jerk." She added quickly.

"I don't know at this point." Kimiko sigh. "Alex is trying so hard... But, I just feel like I need to patch things up with Raimundo before -" She stopped. "Where's Jack?"

"Didn't he go to class?" Omi asked.

Kimiko jumped up from her spot against the wall. She began to walk swiftly, and although the others were confused, she still walked. But then she stopped. "Where's Ashley now?"

"Why in tarnations is everyone getin' lost?" Clay sigh in frustration.

They turned a corner to see Jack pinned to the wall by Ashley, her hand in his hair, and one planted firmly on his back. Jack on the other hand had one hand on Ashley's back, and the other on the side of her head. (I didn't wanna get too graphical, otherwhise, you know where one of his hands woulda been...)

They were both practically sticking their tongues down each others throats, and didn't even notice when the footsteps stopped, and some gasped.

Not long after this exciting discovery was made, the bell rang. Everyone began to pour out of class before Jack and Ashley had time to part. One of these people, out of all the people in the school, happened to be Kitten. She and Jack had made out a few times, although everyone only knew of one. They also had a date planned for tonight (2... Check Author's Note), and here Jack was... Kissing Ashley Miars, the 'cute, innocent' and not to mention new foriegn exchange from Japan.

"JACK!!" Kitten screamed peeling Ashley off of him, and pushing her roughly aside. His eyes widened in fear, and he flinched back, although Kitten was standing just next to him. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!?! ESPECIALLY ON THE NIGHT OF OUR DATE!?!?!"

By this time, Adrenia came marching down the hall, making sure Raimundo wasn't near, and whispered something in Kitten's ear. She simply nodded and stormed off.

Kimiko gave Adrenia an evil glare, but Ashley simply looked and Jack and blushed. "I..." He was lost for words. Obviously, he didn't want to be mean, but he couldn't believe Ashley just came up and snogged him like that. Even though, he had to admit, Ashley was a great kisser, and he was kissing her back... And, when Kitten came and pulled them apart, he didn't feel the warmth and fullness in his mouth again... He still couldn't believe it.

Adrenia only smirked and skipped away, into her crowd of mobblet friends who followed her around, and did her bidding.

News in this school... Spread extremely quick.

Raimundo came huffing along, and looked extremely anger at Kimiko. He looked greatful that she was sticking up for him against Chase before class, but his attitude completely changed now. He turned to Jack, and Kimiko had a sigh of relief in her head. But his words made her tense.

"HOW COULD YOU KISS MY... HALF GIRLFRIEND! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!!!!" He screamed in Jack's face. He looked completely taken aback.

Then Raimundo spun and went up to Kimiko. "We were so close... SO CLOSE to apoligizing, forgive and forget... And you go and kiss my BEST FRIEND!! How could you betray someone you supposivly loved?!?" He blew up in her face, but no one but Kimiko knew he wasn't looking into her eyes...

Raimundo knew why he wasn't. He was truly afraid. He was afraid to see that he had made her cry again. And it was killing him inside, but his anger got the better of him. "You probably never loved me." He backed off and turned.

"What? Now you are completely mad!" Kimiko snapped. Obviously, she had tears in her eyes, and although some couldn't see it, they were there... Even though she was trying to force them back. Despite of that... Her voice was strong.

"How am I mad!" it wasn't even a question. "You're the one, who sits there waiting for two and a half months for us to finally go out! And then, we half break up! And then, you stick up for me! And then... You make out with my best friend! It wouldn't be the first time I've suspected someone just wanted to go out with me for looks, or because they wanted a great kisser, or because of popularity! Because half the girls who use such a strong word like LOVE when they don't even know me!" He screamed. By this time, a ton of people had shown up at the scene, catching the word that was flying around that Raimundo's girlfriend kissed Jack Spicer.

"You have witnesses! Jack would have obviously known who he kissed! I know I didn't kiss him, Clay, Kieko, Omi, and Ashley were here too! Ashley was the one who kissed him! Tell them Ashley! Tell them it wasn't me!" She told her, practically begging.

"Are you kidding Kimiko?" She looked taken aback. Everyone who knew her for half their life knew that she was acting. "I was just as surprised as the rest of them when I saw you making out with Jack!" She turned to Raimundo. "I tried to stop it, but Kimiko just wouldn't get off of him!" She gasped.

"Thanks for telling us the truth Ashley." Raimundo smiled at her. Then he turned to Jack and Kimiko. "Well... Now I know where my true friendship lies. At least I don't have to worry about Chase stealing the girls I'm interested in!" He spat roughly and walked away with Ashley close beside him.

Soon everyone walked away, leaving Kimiko and Jack, completely confused. Kieko came up and put a hand on Kimiko's shoulders, making her eyes close.

"We lost..." Jack stated. "He's with Chase now."

"Ashley got what she really wanted." Kimiko whispered.

"The school will have tough times. There's nothing we can do. Chase will control everything." (3... Check Author's Note)

"Adrenia got what she wanted... I was a fool to trust Ashley."

"We were all fools to think that this would go smoothly." Omi came up beside Kieko.

"There's no way to fix it." Jack stated gloomily.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Wow. That's all I can say. I didn't plan on Adrenia spreading the rumour that it was Kimiko and Jack... I just thought that Ashley and Jack were to hook up... But that went out the window. I was amazed with this chapter really... Enough with my personal thoughts. I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry that it was craptastic and short, but I needed that to be in there:D I was feeling rather depressed today, so... I just decided to put Kim and Rai in another bad situation. And, Ashley... Yikes... Did she sure fool them! I guess she wanted the guy more than the friends! So um... on that note... -7- SEVEN REVIEWS FOR AN UPDATE!!! And, that reminds me... Sorry for taking so long to update, I was just really busy and I've not been feeling good, and stuff around that area so... Yeah...

1) So. They skipped. Of course, in a new school, well at least at this school, there is gunna be a few acceptions because... Well... No one was around to show them around, and yeah, people do realize that Adrenia dragged Raimundo off. The teachers are pretty up-to-date with stuff like that. Creepy, I know lol. But that's Raimundo's school... Very dramatic. The teachers need to keep up with that so they know what fights to get into and what fights not to. Lol.

2) I'm not sure if I planned The date for Sunday or Monday, but, Just so you know... So I didn't confuse anyone, I was too lazy to go check so... I just simply moved it to Monday. But, I dunno if it's off or not... Because obviously Adrenia told her to spread word that a girl named Kimiko kissed Jack. So... She still may be okay with Jack, because this will help Adrenia, and if Adrenia got together with Rai, Rai could convince Jack to go out with Kitten so... We'll have to wait and see.

3) Like stated before... with Raimundo and Chase together, the whole school will be under their control, but Chase will gradually push Raimundo to a side thing. Remaining loyal to keep control, but keeping him far out of his plans. Maybe, Chase won't even get that far, I dunno yet... And, if I did, I still wouldn't tell you :D. And, sound familiar? Darkness of the school - - Darkness of the world. And, heh, Raimundo... The one who joined the dark side before... Go figure... Yeah, I thought of that, which is why I put that in this note... Not very important, but hey. Meh. :D
