Chapter 7: Careless Whispers
Davis looked up with a toothy grin while putting the pop corn bag into the microwave. He set the timer on it and went running into the sofa stuffing his hands behind his head.
"This is the life Veemon no annoying Yolei to nag at us being lazy and we can just chilling out."
He looked at his blue friend and started to laugh,
"If your yellow check mark were a bit more slanted you would have the Nike logo."
Veemon tilted his head and scratched the top of his head,
"What's that?"
Davis's grin melted away and he sat up and scanned the room,
"Oh forget about it. So should we play my super awesome video games? Or shall we watch a movie on my portable T.v?"
Veemon began to jump up and down happily,
"I love it when you don't follow the rules! Here I thought we were going to play in the snow."
"Come on Veemon you should know me by now. I didn't intend on going to a stuffy rich snot party where I'd be eating god knows what, sticking my pinky in the air. Or I wouldn't want to absorb the nature scene. I got your back buddy we are going to have a technology filled good time."
They both jumped up to high five each other and head butt.
"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea." Davis winced and began to rub his head. "Anyway which shall we do buddy?"
"Lets play your video games I am determined to beat all the levels." Veemon sat next to Davis anxiously eying the game. Davis strolled out of the medium sized living room into a small kitchen,
"You know this place isn't half bad for being out practically in the middle of no whereville." He began to snicker, "Very roomy. I wonder when Izzy's mom will be back from her walk-a-thon." Davis pried his hands into the micro and retrieved the bag of pop corn dropping it on the floor and bounced his hand,
"Owe it's hot!!! They should put a warning label or something." Davis stuck his index and middle finger into his mouth. Veemon quickly approached Davis's side and looked down at the bag,
"Davis there is a warning sign that triangle and the exclamation mark in the middle.
Davis glared down and pursed his lips at Veemon,
"Well maybe they should make it bigger!"
He picked up the bag carefully and brought over to the sofa and gently sat the bag between them both. Davis turned on the game set and smiled,
"If Yolei found out we brought over my games she'd throw a major fit. Izzy's mom won't mind.. I mean she lets Izzy drag his laptop in every event." he laughed,
Just then Davis's phone rang. He took it out of his pants pocket and rolled his eyes as he saw the called i.d.
"What do you want? I stayed home with Veemon to get away from your annoying butt!"
Yolei sighed in irritation to Davis's reaction,
"Relax you asshole I am only calling to," She paused from the other end and then yelled, "Hey! Is that television I hear in the background?"
Davis rolled his eyes,
"You must be hearing things at that fancy snot nosed party you're at." He gobbled out with popcorn in his mouth.
"I know what I heard-"
"No you don't you aren't here lady so back off! If anything you probably need hearing aids to go along with those enormous glasses of yours!"
Veemon began to laugh in the background only getting Yolei more rowdy.
Davis honed in as he heard Ken talk,
"Yolei just hang up the phone and let him be. Davis will be Davis let him enjoy his alone time. You two go at it for hours with no terminal stop to it. It's quiet an exasperating endeavor to break it up."
Davis grinned glad my buddy was on my side. Yolei clicked the side of her cheek and huffed out,
"Izzy's mom was supposed to be making sure you didn't keep your brain from rotting any further but I guess even she can't perform miracles."
"Ah what's it to you?!" Davis yelled out, "She's on a walk by the way. What was it you called for make a choppy before i hang up on your ass."
"I just called to see if you weren't doing anything stupid and weren't giving Izzy's mom a hard time. And two did I leave my camera?"
Davis shook his head and pressed his fingers into his temple,
"Well seems like it's a person problem." He laughed out.
"Davis this is serious!" She growled, "Check if I left it in the room I am sleeping in.
"Check yourself." Davis replied coldly.
"Fine be an ass I'll just enjoy myself at the most Elite party without your ill mannered pig. And I'll be sure to tell Karia you are rotting your brain."
Davis spit out the popcorn from his mouth and gasped,
"What? Why didn't you guys tell me she was going to be there?" He blurted out.
"Because you should have just came to be with friends so it's your own fault. Tai is coming as well. Have fun being home alone with Veemon."
"No it's not too late! You evil bitch. I'd walk out there if I had to right now!"
"You would not." Yolei exclaimed.
"Oh yes I would for Kari I would in a heartbeat."
"Well your not on the guest list and none of use will go and get you from the door." She snapped out.
"Ken would and if you tie him down I can think of other ways to get in. Peace." Davis hung up the phone and went up to Veemon.
"We got to dress to impress, luckily I think I have just the outfit to impress Kari. Ahhh Veemon I am going to see her again! I'm soo happy" He smiled out brilliantly. He speed past Veemon spinning him a hug and placing him back on the floor. He runs to t he small hallway and turns a sharm corner into a room. He yanks down his suitcase and began pulling out clothes
"But Dais how will we get there by the time we arrive walking it'll be over."
Davis poked his head out of the room and looked at Veemon in dismay.
"Are you kidding me don't tell me you haven't caught on. Who said anything about walking we are bringing out xveemon."
Veemon smiled out,
"Really? Well then hop to it partner we got a party to go to."
"And I pretty girl to woe over."
Back to the "kids" party
T.k. surveyed the room and leaned his back onto the pillar,
"Hopefully this night will end quickly. I don't know why they insisted me coming to this party. I'll lay low for a bit then sneak on out of here."
He watched the room and nodded his head,
"I must admit it is a pretty cool set up, seemed better than going to the adult party." He shook his head and smirked, "Last time I went to one of those one of my dad's clients tried to convince me to model." T.k. slide even more into the pillar and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He jumped slightly as he was startled by the bright lights on stage and a guy with a mic that looked around his brother's age peered over at the crowd.
T.k. rolled his eyes and laughed lightly, "What kind of entertainment was set up for us tonight."
The guy looked around the room and clapped his hands together,
"How are we all doing tonight?" The room had some muffled cheers.
"I said how are you all doing tonight?"
Now everyone clapped and cheered.
"Ha is this guy trying to be cool and then talk going to bust with cheese ball raps about how we shouldn't do drugs?" T.k. mouthed out sarcastically.
A guy beside him snickered,
"Yeah seriously if he starts singing a rap about protected sex I am out of here. They should have just left the food out and the music playing."
T.k. smiled at the guy
Thank god I am not alone on this. I won't be the only one to walk out probably everyone else will too.
"Get ready to have some karaoke fun."
There were some cheers of excitement and some faint grunts of painful torture.
T.k. sighed in annoyance,
"Seriously karaoke? They always play the stupidest songs might as well have gone to a drunken college party." He blew into his hair and crossed his arms.
"Any place fun outside of this?" The guy asked
T.k. grinned his dimples indenting and his ice blue eyes twinkled in the light with the response,
"Actually." He turned to peer over at the brown head guy with dark eyes.
"Do you like basket ball?"
The guy nodded his head yeah.
T.k.'s grin increased and he shuffled his feet to step forward but just then a bright light hit him.
T.k.'s smile faded and he began to squint holding his hand over his face,
"What gives?" He asked meekly. T.k. looked up the stage and the guy was laughing,
"Come on up Mr. cool."
T.k. shook his head no and waved his arms frantically,
"Um no thanks I was just about to-" Before T.k. could finish his sentence he was being dragged on stage,
"Hey! Stop you guys!" But he was pushed in front standing over the mic.
The guy with the mic shook his head and wagged his finer, "The spot light picked you and you can't argue with the pick. Not our fault you stood in the obvious "don't pick me spot.""
T.k. gripped his hand into a fist and clutched his teeth,
"Damn Matt. He got me good." He looked around the crowd and began to feel his cheeks grow red. "There is no way I can sing in front of all these people I think I am going to make a run for it." T.k. took a step back until he saw a girl standing beside him. He couldn't help but smirk a bit.
Oh you poor girl they dragged you up here too. This crowd looks rowdy and you don't look like the type to just walk out, can't leave you hanging. But to be paired up with me that is sad. Once you hear my voice you'll simply walk off.
T.k. took a deep breathe and shook slightly and mumbled
"I have no problem playing in front of a crowd but singing is completely different."
The guy with the mic patted T.k. on the back,
"Good luck you'll thank me for this one day." He began to smirk and sprinted off, "Or not."
T.k. gulped and couldn't really look up because of the bright lights making him feel like a deer caught in headlights. He didn't know whether to stay and make a fool out of himself just to get close to this girl or should I run off?
The music began to play and the beat was actually catchy.
Maybe I can throw my own mix to it. Would that impress her? No maybe not I must know her name and if I can get her number.
T.k. began to smile sheepishly as he took in every bit of this girl. Her slightly curled long her. Her beautiful brown eyes that just had such a glow. Her soft plumped lips and her cute short height. She was making him feel that butterfly feeling he only had for Karia. He jerked his head away as the girl didn't once turn to him.
She must be taken or thinks she is too good for me well I got to at least try.
T.k. gripped onto the mic stand and held the microphone slowly parting his lips.
Kari's side:
"I don't understand why I have to be at this party. The music is making it hard to concentrate and even more so the stupid idea of karaoke what are we twelve or at some college party. If only T.k. were here. He always could make any scene funny. But it was only Matt that came to this event. Should know the popular super star would have better things to do on vacation. I was really looking forward to seeing him. I got all my cute clothes with me." Kari sighed out and cupped her hands onto her chin trying to read. She sighed annoyed,
"Gosh I must of read this same sentence about five times already. I think I am just going to leave. Honestly I don't see the point in this. I was to mingle with the other kids to make my parents look good but I made an appearance. That was good enough." Karia looked around the room and saw the guy with the mic scanning the room.
"Oh good heavens he's not taking volunteers he's picking people." She shook nervously, "Well I am not participating."
She looked back down at her book and began to read again until a bright light hit her making her hair feel as if it were summer.
"What the?" She glanced up and her eyes began to squint. "What's going on?" The guy on stage smiled and yelled, "Come on down little lady with the book and have some fun." Kair shook her head in disbelief, "Why me?" She shook her head no trying to walk away until people began to push her forward making it impossible to weasel out, they were blocking her in.
She went up the stairs of the stage and looked around the crowd, "There is no way I am singing in front of these people I'll just end up fainting. Why oh why did he pick me." Her eyes met into the guy who was announcing this whole stupid idea." And her face turned hard
Ugh that is one of Matt's friend's. I saw them talking earlier.
Kari bit her lip and shoved her hands crossed.
Bet my brother and Matt planned this out. Well jokes on them because I will not sing. I refuse I just can't in front of all these staring people. How could she do this on her own. She wasn't much of a be alone type.
Kari peered around the room and she began to bit her nails. She let her arm fall and she caressed them sheepishly and looked to the floor.
"I can't do this." She mumbled out.
Her ears perked up to the music, "Pretty good melody I know this song." She smiled but then looked confused.
Why this song? Don't two people sing for this?
She gasped startled as she heard someone next to her breathing rapidly. She looked away from the T.v. in front that had the lyrics .
She turned to peer over and it was a handsome boy. She turned even more red and giggled slightly. His brown blond hair it's so perfect and seems silky almost better taken care of then Matt's and Tai's. He had such piercing blue eyes with depth and his smile how she gushed. He had cute dimples just like T.k. and that crooked smile just made her melt. She quickly looked back at the floor.
He can't possibly wont to stay up here and sing with me. He should be on a runway walk.
Maybe I should just stay spare him and protest that we won't do this.
But as she opened her mouth to speak she heard a very romantic voice singing along. She looked up and her mouth fell slightly open,
"He can sing as well as be mesmerizing gorgeous? There is no way I can back his voice up he must be a professional." His charismatic and charming voice, oh how it made her with goose bumps and weak in the legs.
Back to T.k.:
I better just go and rip it off like a band aid since she isn't going to sing first. He gulped here it goes. He cleared his throat and approached the mic.
"I feel so unsure,
as I take your hand"
T.k. reached his hand out and looked at the cute girl standing their sheepishly at him but she just smiled politely and turned away quickly,
" and lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies, there's something in your eyes" T.k. pointed to her and smiled warmly.
"Calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad goodbyes."
T.k. looked up at her face it didn't depict an interest. He stood quiet and stepped back from the microphone. He sighed in defeat and began to turn away until his ears rang with an angelic tone. He turned his head rapidly and smiled warmly. She had an amazing voice with such passion. So Does this means she does want to sing with me?
T.k. looked at her and she smiled warmly at him as she sang,
"Im never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm.
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool." She pointed at him lightly and raised her hand down gently back at her side.
T.k.'s smile broaden as he turned closer to his mic and stuck around and in took in the beautiful voice.
"I shouldve known better than to cheat a friend."
T.k. put his lips to the mic and sang along with her.
"And waste the chance that I've been given
So, I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you" She smiled shyly at him and took in a deep breath and continued.
"Time can never mend
"Ooh." She looked blankly because he had stopped singing and was just looking at her. but she went on singing
"The careless whispers of.. a.. good friend." She looked at him he starring at her warmly and admiring as she sang. But why wasn't he singing with her? IT was a duet and his voice was so enticing she wanted to hear more. But she continued hoping he'd jump back in
"to the heart and mind.. ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find.."
She took in some breath and was glad to see him part those lushes lips of his and sing along with her in the chorus. She smiled wearily. He was being a gentleman letting her have more parts. She smiled he shouldn't have because she would much rather hear him sing.
"I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend"
I know you're not a fool"
They were looking into each other's eyes so intensely and full of passion. They were breathing hard and sweating a bit from the bright hot lights but they didn't care the smiles they gave each other it made everything else not matter until they heard a guy jump in the song.
"You know I aint a fool, girl"
They looked at each other confused and startled. Causing them to break away from their powerful eye contact. but they saw no one on stage so they shrugged and continued to sing together not looking away from each other afraid that they would drift away.
"Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you." They both took a sigh of breath and were going to go on until
A guy in the crowd jumped onto the stage and grabbed the microphone the other guy that was announcing stuff earlier had set down. Kari looked at this guy. He was cute but not as heart drenching as the other boy. It wasn't on looks. She just had a bond, a connection with the blond guy.. which sounded crazy becuase she just meet him. And she was drawn to him wanting to know more. She wanted to slap herself.. and I would talk crap about Juliet and how she was stupid.. "i'm doing the same thing" She sighed lightly, "What is wrong with me?!"
The curly haired boy went in between her and the blond guy and was now facing and singing to her. What gives? She thought. Why is this guy medaling into our duet? He could of volunteered before or after.. how rude was he. She smiled anyway to be poliet. She could never bring herself to be mean even if the person deserved it... He was cute and she loved his outfit so that was a bonus she'd let him have his fun. She looked at this guy slightly curly brown hair, tan skin pretty built with blue pants, a white shirt with a graphic design on and those bandanna scarfs around his neck. He had some pretty cool nikes on the ones that the skaters and techno guys wear.
"Uh, Slow down." He sang out. Kari giggled because this guy was adding his own totally different mix to this. It was a harmonized fill when Her and the other guy was singing but this guy was singing in a kind of rap techno feel. She never heard anything like it before very unique and she had to hand it to him he was pulling it off very well. She smiled even more when he was dancing slightly to her and stood next to her holding his mic.
"You know you're moving too fast,
you know that I don't dance, but
you insist to take my hands.
And to the beat, that move our feet,
and everyone is watching me
and I dont dance no more."
And I aint leavin' my apartment
'till its after evening."
T.k. rolled his eyes and folded his hands into his chest.
This guy is trying to get in the way of me and the gorgeous girl. He is trying to show me up that or trying to take over my spot to be a duet with her. T.k. growled lightly well I'm not dispensable that easily. Unless that was what she wanted then he would leave. But until she indicated for him to go he was standing his ground.
"Bars are closing down, and
every model in the pool hall is drinking.
I turn the jukebox on.
To play my favorite song.
Where we sing along.
I dont dance, no."
Kari smiled and shook her head at the guy but returned that warm bubbly smile to that guy that took her breath away. This was his and her duet and she was going to keep it going between the two of them. She grabbed her microphone off the stand and patted the guy who jumped on the stage. But she then turned away and approached the blue eyed hottie. She sighed and sang out,
"Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Baby, it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things
We'd want to say-"
The guy caught Kari off guard when he grabbed her hand and laced them with his. He smiled and sang out just as she had been waiting for him to do. His voice made her melt and gave her the inspiration to sing out. He sang with such passion and that helped her come out of her she'll to do the same.
T.k. sang with a smile because she went to include him and not push him away from the stylish guy.
"We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever."
The curly haird boy remained where he was but said lightly
"yeah sing it boy"
T.k. held back his laugh and went on,
"But now who's gonna dance with me?"
Kari took in a deep breath and sang along with him. She liked how their words harmonized together and how each of their words melted in complementing one another.
"Please stay!
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool"
The curly haired boy began to walk closer to the both of them and sang to Kari
"You know I aint a fool, girl"
Kari smiled up at him but continued singing with The blue eyed boy,
"Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you."
Kari sighed out and her eyes began to water looking at this guy reminded her of T.k. so much it made her heartache. She sang out with even more emotion.
"And now that you're gone."
Kari smiled at him and T.k. grinned at her. The guy with the curly hair put his arms around the both of them and sighed,
"Wasn't that fun Kari? T.s?"
Kari and T.k.'s eyes buldged out and turned rapidly
"Davis?!"
They then looked at each other,
Kari smiled "T.k.!?!" and threw her arms around T.k.'s neck and kissed him on the cheek and T.k. Embraced her tightly until Davis practically pulled them apart,
"Where's my hug?" he asked coldly.
Kari blushed and sneakered, "Sorry this whole time I had no idea it was either one of you."
T.k. leaned in and hugged Davis,
"Not you!" He yelled.
"Hey you asked for it." He joked and Kari laughed harder.
Kari walked up to him and hugged Davis tightly,
"I love your style of choice." She smiled,
"Yeah?" He asked taken aback, "Choose my best out fit just for you."
"How did you get here?" She asked bewildered, "How did you know I was here. And it was me? I didn't even recognize you. Do i look the same?"
Davis smiled, "Long story. But no you don't I like the long hair by the way."
"Then how did you?"
"I know that face anywhere." He turned to T.k.
"T.M. stay away from my girl."
T.k. flashed a smile but Kari who rolled her eyes.
"Always nice to see you too Davis."
T.k. shook his head. He should of known that was a Davis move up there.
Hopefully I can get him distracted so Kari and I can have some alone time.
He put his hand over his chin and smiled.
