I got 68 hits for this story! Nice! I got 3 reviews, not so nice! The reason it took so long, was I wasn't in the mood to write but now I am so all's well. I was working on my other story, which you should totally check out. I would like to thank Kenzie 493, Lunarmercury and JaninaKeks for reviewing my story. The rest of you suck! Anyways here's Chapter 2.

Senorita rage

Ch.2 Talking With Kai

After my work at the Forge was done for the day, I strolled over to Kai's Lodge. Kai was one of the few people in town who understood me completely. He is my best friend after all, so it's natural that I come to him with my problems. But the question is would he accept me if I truly was gay? Not saying that I am.

I had just come to the town's beach. The sun was setting, and it looked especially beautiful with the ocean in the background. I entered the Lodge and there was Kai cleaning a table with a rag.

Kai always had a purple bandana on his head for some unknown reason to me. He had tanned skin and brown eyes. He wore a sandy colored vest with and under it was a plain cloth shirt. He wore brown, woren boots.

I sat down at the table he was cleaning and put a hand under my chin and sighed.

"I really need an order of baked corn right now." He looked up from cleaning the table.

"Hey Gray, What's wrong now?" He was good I had to give him that much.

"Well excuse me for coming in hungry." He sat down and cocked one eyebrow up.

"Whenever your feeling down, you always ask for baked corn. Now spill. Did your grandfather yell at you again? You want me to beat the stuffing out of him? Yet again, he is a tough old bitch so that might be kinda hard."

I grin.. "What?"

"Kidding, but I got you smiling."

"Give me some baked corn and grape juice and I'll tell you what's up."

"Coming right up." Kai got up and started heading for the stove. He got the rag he was using and placed it ove rhis shoulder.

"You know what would really make me feel better? If this meal is on the house."

"You wish. He smiled at me. After he fixed he fixed me my meal, I ate in silence.

"So, you gonna tell me what's wrong or am I gonna have to drag it out of you?"

"Okay, I have love problems." He starts to snicker, rudely in fact. It reminded me of a certain person.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" Now Kai had stopped laughing.

"Geez, Mr.Senitive take a chill pill."

"Sorry, I've been acting like a bitch lately." Wait did just call me Mr. Senitive?

"It's just funny that you're coming to me for love advice. That's all."

"Oh, yeah? Here's a punch from Mr.Sensitive." We exchange a set of friendly punches before the door opens.

There appears the figure of the town dofus, Popuri She had long pink flowing hair, with matching pink eyes. She was crazy for Kai, as she was childish. Kai seemed to flirt with her a lot.

"Kai! Guess what, Guess what,Guess what?" Shouted an overly excited Popuri.

"What?" said Kai.

" Look at all the pretty pink cat flowers I picked! Here have some!"She placed some dirty weeds over the clean counter.

"Popuri I just cleaned that!" yelled an angry Kai.

She had tears forming in my eyes. "I'm sooooo sorry Kai." She embraces him in a tight hug.

"It's okay. There, There." Kai said as he comforted herIt looked like he was annoyed.

Damn! Is that girl a hand full or what?

She was wiping her tears from her cotton candy eyes. "The reason I came over here was to ask you something."

"Well, what does the pretty lady have to say." He did one of his famous smiles.

"Kai, stop it. You're gonna make me blush." She just made an annoying chuckle.

"This Friday is the Yearly Town Movie Night and they are showing The Notebook and would you like to see it with me? Pretty Please with sugar on top with whipped cream, hot fudge..."

"Alright already. I'll go with you."

"Yay! I'm sooo happy! Later Kai!" She left the lodge jumping up and down.

"Well, she's a handful. Understatement of the century.

"So, what did you want to tell me Gray?"

"The thing I wanted to tell you is that I have an inner conflict about myself."

"Hm,like what?"

"Just this morning I crashed into this guy..."

"Wait, was it on purpose?"

"No!" God, how can he think that?

"Sorry, go on with your story."

"So, we crashed really hard and then when I gained concisness, I was checking him out! So now I'm not sure if I'm gay or straight or whatever! I was talking so fast I was wearing myself down.

"So basically, the crash turned you gay." He laughed at this.

"I'm being serious here."

"Maybe it's just a phase. But would it be so bad if you were?"

"Well, hopefully it's just a phase you know." God I was freaking out here.

He was fixing his bandana, it seemed like he was trying to coop with all this information.

"Look, Gray even if you are gay I would accept you. You know I'm..'

"No, no ,no! I'm not gay, it's just a phase! I don't wanna be."

"Oh." He looked down.

I didn't know it at the moment, but that was a fatal mistake that was gonna cost me later on.

"Well, then I've got a plan to see if you truly are gay my friend. But first was this guy who crashed into you..sexy?" He had a silly grin on his face.

"N-No! Look, are you going to tell me your plan or not!" My face had reached new shades of crimson.

On my to do list

1. Learn how to control my blushing

2. Kill Kai

"Okay, Okay. What you have to do is go out on a date with a girl to the Yearly Town Movie Night."

"I can't do that!" I shout a little more loudly than intended

I admit it, I've never been on a date before, so that's why I was so apauled at the idea of it. Being the town anti-social doesn't neccessarialy make girls want to ask you out. It's not that I wanted them to ask me out any ways.

"Why. It's not like anyone wants to go on a date with me."

"I have a person telling me otherwise."

"Who?" Was someone actually interested in me? Why? I was average and my personality could improve by a long shot.

"Mary."

"Yeah, what about her? Oh no.

"Wait, you mean Mary has a crush on me?

"Yep."

"Why? I only had a real conversation with her once. The only time I see her is when I'm at the library and I check out books."

"Look, I don't know why but just ask her out to this thing to prove if your gay or not. If it makes you feel better on Friday we'll double date you and Mary and Popuri and I, okay?" He patted his hand on my shoulder. It felt good, wait what am I thinking?

"You done eating your meal romeo? I gotta close up." There was that sense of humor I loved.

"I'm done jackass." We left theLodge after Kai closed up. We were still disguising the matter when a stranger appeared before us. As we got closer her idenity was revealed.

"Mary what are you doing here?" Kai asked the question that had been on all our minds.

Mary was the bookworm who owned the town library. She was shy and had the library look going for her. She wore round brown glasses and her hair was as black as the night and tied into a neat braid. She wore a blue dress that came down to her ankles and underneath it was a plain blouse.

"Um...I wanted to ask Gray if he wanted to walk me home." Mary said in a quiet tone.

Why would Mary want to walk me home? Did she actually have a crush on me like Kai said?

Kai leaned into my ear and whispered "Do it. Don't forget to ask her out. Remeber I'll double with you, so it'll be okay." I nodded my head.

"Sure, I'll walk you home." I don't even know why I'm doing this. I don't have feelings for her. I may seem like a hard ass on the outside, but I was a big ol' softie. I would describe myself as lasasuna. Hard on the outside and soft on the inside. There was a point to this metaphor of mine. Suppose Mary did have a crush on me, wouldn't it be wrong to use her for my own selfish purposes? Just to see if I'm gay or not. Who the hell am I kidding? I just want this confusion to be over with. I'm not gay and I'm proving this theroy.

"See you at the inn." Kai yelled as he walked the opposite direction.

We have been walking silent for a few minutes so I decided to break the silence.

"So,..how are you?" I asked. I couldn't think of anything else to say. The silence was deafening.

"Beneficial. Um, Gray do you know what this Friday is?" She asked in a mousey voice.

"It's the Yearly Town Movie Night, right?" I answered.

"Yes and they're showing The Notebook, which is a very romantic movie don't you agree?"

"Sure." Of course haven't seen the movie it was a romantic chick flick. Which couples see.

"Would you like to go to this social affairs event with me? It would be worth your time and..." We just arrived at her house.

I did the stupid thing of nodding because she was talking so damn fast my brain was starting to hurt.

" My expression of gratitude will forever be yours." Translation thank-you very much. Then she slammed the door.

When I arrived at the inn I saw Kai waiting for my return impatiently.

"So how did it go?" Kai asked in a bored tone. Which was weird because wasn't he the one who encouraged it? I gave him a thumb-up. I had a displeased look on my face.

"What's wrong?" He asked in a concerned manner.

Let's see, I'm forced on a date with this girl I hardly know! And I have this huge headache from her fucking blabbing! That's what's wrong!

"Nothing." I smelled doom in my future.

XXXX TO Be Continued XXXX

I think I made Gray show his emotions way to much in this chapter. I wanted him to be more collected, but hopefully things worked out for the best. The Yearly Town Movie Night is way to long of a name. I got this idea from Gilmore Girls by the way. The name was shorter for this event, so if you know it please tell me. Aren't you wondering what's going on with Kai? Well you'll find out in later chapters. Since it took so long to submit this the next chapter will be up by Monday morning, latest. Please review, I know you people like this story b/c I'm getting a ton of hits! I did Popuri's character after my Bff Kenzie493.
