Chapter 10

A week had past since Jess's birthday and she still hadn't been out to any of the nightclubs that Tala and Kai frequented. All of her friends had flown home to various parts of the world and now it was just the four of them left. Kai's cousin Mai had decided to move in with Kai and after a few really bad arguments with her parents they had let her stay. Personally Jess thought her staying had a lot to do with Tala. They seemed to be getting very close very fast. She was happy for both of them, they deserved happiness and if they found it in one another good for them. Right now she was standing outside the school gates with Tala, Kai and Mai dreading going inside. Ever since she has seen her uncle she had hated being in school. Something in her snapped and she just didn't like large groups of people anymore.

Tala cast a worried look at Jess then turned to Kai. Kai met his eyes and they made a silent pact. They all went to the office with Mai so she could get her timetable for her lessons. It turned out she was in all of Jess's classes which was really good. She would always have someone there to look after her. Just because she didn't like large crowds didn't mean she wanted to be alone either. A select group of close friends ie, Tala, Kai and Mai and she was happy.

Tala took Mai off to find her locker while Jess and Kai went to their lockers walking hand in hand. They had been to Jess's locker and were on their was to Kai's when Hillary stormed up to them and started ranting.

"God Kai, I don't know what you see in her. I mean look at her she is so ugly. She's dumb and frumpy I don't get it, you could be with me! I bet she is fridged, she's probably never even been touched by a man."

Jess just smirked and pushed past her. Yes she probably had been spending too much time with Kai and Tala, smirking would soon be her trademark as well!

"Well done, she didn't even get a rise out of you. I'm impressed." Kai told her.

Jess turned to him and smiled.

"Hey, you and I both know I'm not fridged and that's all the matters." She had said this in a voice slightly louder than normal. Kai laughed and shot a look over his shoulder. He knew why she had said it that loud and he wasn't disappointed, Hillary stood there fuming.

"Oowww, pore baby, I think she just popped a blood vessel." Jess said with mock pity. As she gave Hillary a finger wave.

"You are pure evil you know that?" Kai asked putting an arm around her and pulling her close to him.

"Yes, and that's why you love me." She smiled and gave him a kiss.

They were in the middle of something quite intimate when they heard a voice.

"Ah, come on Kai do you have to do that crap with my little sister right in front of me, I think I'm going to be sick." Tala said dramatically as he ran to the nearest waist paper bin and pretended to throw up.

Kai let go of Jess and gave him an evil smile. "Well now you know who I feel every time I see you and Mai together when you thing no one is watching."

"How did you……………….." Tala was cut off by Kai.

"My house has video cameras. Ever heard of Big Brother is watching, well I am Big Brother and I am watching." ( A/N I know if you put your mind to that sentence it sounds really perverted but it's not meant to be. Just that Kai knows what's going on.)

The two boys (A/N well I guess I'll have to call them guys because they aren't boys and the aren't men so whatever.) walked Jess and Mai to their care class. Kai gave Jess a long Kiss just to piss off Tala and then headed off to their own class.

Jess's POV

I thought there was something going on but I wasn't sure how much. As soon as the boys left I pulled Mai into a big bear hug.

"What was that for?" Mai asked me once I let her go.

"For making Tala so happy." I smiled and gave her another hug.

"Can I ask you something?" she asked me with a serious tone in her voice.

"You just did, but you can ask me something else."

"What does Tala have against women?"

Woooeeee! I should have seen that one coming a mile away. What is Tala's problem with women? Well shit where do I start?

"It's kind of a long story." I told her knowing that I was trying to get onto a new subject.

"That's fine, I've got time." God she was like a Pitbull with a chew toy, she's never going to let this go is she?

We walked to the back of the room where we wouldn't be disturbed and took our seats.

"Ok, I'll give you the condensed version. When Tala was in this first year of high school he met this girl and fell in love with her. They dated for something like four years and she cheated on him with a couple of guys. Tala was devastated and came very close to killing himself. You're the first person he has shown any long term interest in since they broke up apart from the little sluts he had one night stands with but I suppose that doesn't count as long term interest………… something you have to understand about Tala and Kai is they are classed as players and there are a bunch of skanks that have claimed them as theirs. If you go out with Tala you will have to put up with them but I think with time they will get the idea." I finished looking at her.

"Is she still here?" she asked looking mildly put out.

"Who?"

"Tala's ex?"

"Oh, yeah her name is Kate, you'll get to meet her. did you see that girl having a go at me this morning?"

"Yeah, what about her?"

"Well she's Kates best friend and has also claimed Kai. She gave me a black eye before me and Kai even started dating." I told her with a smirk. That reminds me, I still haven't gotten her back for that yet.

"That's what I wanted to ask. You've been friends with Kai for ages, how come you two are only getting together now?"

"Another long story." I told her shifting in my seat.

She raised an eyebrow, shit is it just me or does she seem particularly nosy?

That reminds me of a joke. What's the difference between a Pitbull and Jewish mother? Well the Pitbull eventually lets go. (A/N sorry to anyone out there with Jewish heritage. The joke just fits so well. I mean no offence.)

"Fine. Kai was getting really sick of Hillary so he made a deal with me that if I helped him give Hillary the impression he was off the market her would take me shopping……… which he hasn't done yet might I add. Anyway things happened and one day he took me ice skating. I thought that he just wanted to spend some time with me, which he did turns out, but Hillary and Kate showed up. I got the shits and left. That night Kai came in to the kitchen when I was making dinner, sat me on the counter and started making out with me. Tala interrupted us. I got really upset and scared because of all that crap with my uncle……. It made me feel trapped. Then I realised why I had a fit at the ice rink and the next day I ran away to Italy to stay with Erni. Kai found me after about a week and came over to Italy. We had a talk and we've been together ever since. The end."

Mai looked stunned. I smiled to myself as I remembered that night in the pool.

--FlashBack—

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him towards me. I entwined my legs around his waist as his hands slid down from my shoulders to my waist. He lowered his head to mine and our lips brushed one-another's, an electric jolt went through my whole body as the kiss deepened.

Aahhhhhhhh, sigh, our first kiss as a couple.

--End FlashBack—

Someone was poking me. What the? I looked over to my left where the irritation was coming from. Mai sat there with a smug look on her face.

"What?" I demanded.

"I bet I can tell you what put that happy, far away look on your face. It starts with a K and ends with an I." I smiled to myself when she said that. She didn't know the half of it.

End Jess's POV

Tala and Kai stormed into the cafeteria ten minutes after lunch had stared. I mean come on it wasn't their fault the teacher got locked out of the class room and the got super glued to the chair and thrown down the stairs by a bunch of rebellious teens. Ok, so what if it was their idea. They didn't do it. It wasn't their fault the teacher has a broken legs and a concussion along with six broken ribs now was it? Ah? Yeah, didn't think so. That's how the two Guys saw it anyway.

They stoped in the entrance and scanned the crowd of hungry, noisy teens looking for the girls. They found them sitting with Jess's friends and it looked like Mai was fitting in.

They were about to go over to their table when an announcement came over the loud speaker.

"Can Kai Hiwatari and Tala Volkav please make their way to the office I repeat can Kai Hiwatari and Tala Volkav please make their way to the office?"

Everyone looked up form what he or she were doing so try and find the two guys. Jess met Tala's gaze and lifted and eyebrow. He shook his head before letting out a sigh and following Kai to the office.

In the principals office

"I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU TWO. YOUR FOOLISH PRANKS GOT ONE OF MY STAFF SERIOUSLY HURT AND I AM STEARING DOWN THE BARREL OF LAW SUIT. YOUR FOOLISH PRANK COULD CLOSE THE SCHOOL. YOU TWO ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!" the principal yelled at Kai and Tala as they leaned against the wall with their eyes closed and their arms crossed trying to avoid the spit that was flying everywhere.

"You have no proof that it was us so you can't suspend us." Tala smirked as the principal turned an unhealthy shade of red.

"THIS PRANK HAS YOUR NAMES WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!" he bellowed turning an even darker shade of red.

"That may be true but you can't suspend us because we didn't do it." Kai told the old man without even opening his eyes.

"I don't need proof, I'm the principal, I can do what ever I want in my school." He told them while whipping his sweaty face.

"Oh you mean life having an affair with an underage student?" Tala questioned with a smirk.

"I am a happily married man. I would never have an affair." He told them in a harsh voice.

"That may be true, but we all like to get a little on the side now don't we?" Kai was having a hard time not laughing. They had this old bustard wrapped around their little fingers.

The principal didn't say anything. He didn't even move. The only sign that he heard was the even darker shade of red his fat face turned.

"Now we are not going to be suspended or we will go to the board and get you sacked." Tala smiled

"THAT'S BLACKMAIL YOU LITTLE……………."

"Tut, tut, tut, tut. It does sound like blackmail doesn't it Kai." Tala looked over at Kai who nodded.

"It' looks like you can add improper language to the list as well. I'm sure abusing students will get their attention." Kai added closing his eyes again.

"Get out of my office!"

"Gladly." The two boys turned and left the office with satisfied smirks on their faces.

When they got back to the cafeteria the two Guys went to their table and sat down with their friends. A few minutes later Jess and Mai came over to the table and sat down. Mai next to Tala and Jess on Kai's lap.

"What was all that about?" Jess asked as she rested her hand on Kai's shoulder.

"Oh, not much. Some kids pulled a prank, he threatened to suspend us so we threatened to report him to the board for having an affair with an under age student." Kai told her while he played with her hair that was in to piggy tails today.

"You didn't?" the two girls asked in unison.

"Afraid we did." Tala informed them.
