Chapter 10- The party! part 1

Jinora felt her heart beat fast while she walked down the stairs, because many thoughts were rushing in her head, like a river rushed to shore. She was about to leave for her first date and she was so nervous for it all. But before leaving she knew she had to face her first test. If she didn't past this then it was all be over, the end, zilch, nada. Basically it was all or nothing, and as Jinora approached the end of the stairs her test began. ''Jinora…Ikki…You both look…My babies!'' Pema cried out with genuine happiness, while covering her face to prevent tears from falling down her face. Jinora and Ikki smiled back in return, but Jinora could see that her father wasn't too happy. She only just came down the stairs, and she was already failing her test. Her fathers judgement mean't everything, and if he wasn't happy the chances of her and Ikki going on their dates was slim.

Tenzin observed his two daughters like a hawk, glaring at them with wide open eyes. He looked up and down slowly, just like how a scanner scans documents in that specific manner. He then stopped, closing his eyes and breathed in deeply, while Pema continually washed the two girls with compliments. ''Pema!'' Tenzin said sternly which caught Pema of guard, ''Do you really think this is acceptable?'' Tenzin whined slightly causing Pema a little annoyance, ''Of course it is. Our daughters are dressed appropriately, and they can take care of themselves. Its all going to be fine.'' she shot back, leading a nervous and tense Tenzin to take his wife to the side. ''You think they are dressed appropriately?'' he said as a lie as a last resort to stop his daughters from going on a date. ''Yes I do! Many of the teenagers in this day and age dress over the top. This isn't the fact with Jinora and Ikki.'' Pema yelled while her husband gestured for her to calm down but she wasn't having it. ''What's wrong Tenzin?'' Pema said confusingly while Tenzin sighed again ''I just don't think they should go.''. Jinora and Ikki could hear everything that was going on, and while Jinora was concerned, Ikki just wanted to desperately leave. ''Jinora can we just go? Mom is okay with it, so that should be enough right!?'' Ikki said, but Jinora did not answer since she was distracted by her parents bickering.

Seeing how her sister wasn't responding, Ikki decided to take matters into her own hands. She walked towards her parents and give in her own input. ''DAD! What is problem here? You said if Jinora dates I can, and she did so I can too. Why are you arguing with mom now?'' Ikki yelled with her arms crossed. At that moment Tenzin could of swore that she was his wife, Pema. Although he didn't want to hurt his daughters chances at freedom, he didn't want to see them grow up. And he didn't want any boys to hurt his daughters hearts. He knew public school will change them, but Pema had convinced him to so, to make his daughters experience school life. ''I know I said that, but I just don't want anything to happen Ikki.'' he argued back, ''Well it won't.''. All eyes landed on Jinora as she broke her silence. ''Dad we will be okay. It's just a date and not the end of the world. The guys who asked us are really sweet and genuine. They are not those kind of guys. Plus we can handle ourselves.'' Jinora continued to talk on, while her mother and sister smiled at her wise choice of words. Tenzin himself even gave a small smile, as he could see that Jinora had changed. She was trying to open up, be sociable and try something new, but who was he to stop her. After Jinora had stopped talking Tenzin touched her shoulders ''I…I know….Look I'm sorry.'', Tenzin now gestured for Ikki to come closer to him and embraced his daughters in a hug. ''I'm just afraid that you to are growing up fast. And seeing that is just scary for me.'' Tenzin said genuinely. ''You don't need to be scared dad.'' Ikki said ''You raised us well, and there is always going to be a time when you let feel like this.'' Jinora added on while the three let go of their embrace. ''Change is scary, you don't think I feel the same Tenzin?'' Pema asked now walking towards Tenzin, ''We just need to embrace it.'' she continued on, as he went in for a hug. It seemed as if all this hugging and preaching was clearing the bad air.

Tenzin still hugging Pema now turned to his daughters, with a smile upon his face ''Well what are you waiting for? Don't you two have somewhere to be heading?''

It was now 8:45 pm, and the night was alive. The half term party was one of the biggest events of the year and boy did it now disappoint. One of the most popular jocks, always held the party in their home each year. This year it was Tai Yong's turn and since he was a young aristocrat, the party ended up being in a two story mansion. Over 100 students attended making the mansion so full, that some students just hung outside of the porch, or around the enormous pool he had in his back garden. Inside the mansion there was bright red velvet carpets all over the flooring, black wide screen plasma TV's and sliver large stereos playing rave/house party music, insulated in every room. Digital bright metallic lights were hung on the corners of the walls, and move automatically to create the whole party atmosphere. Besides all this fancy luxury, there was also bundles of alcohol put on tables, and glasses for people to drink. There was a list of everything from beer, scotch, fine wine, vodka and whiskey. And from this inviting list of drinks surrounding teenagers, it was safe to say that most of them would be drunk in no time. The party started at 8:00 pm so that the students could have time to enjoy themselves until day break, however the mansion was already full and it was just 15 mins to 9:00 pm. Kai and his pal Skoochy came early to the party, because they thought Jinora and Ikki would come early. Both of the girls had good respects for themselves, it was understandable that the boys thought this way, however this was not the case. Kai and Skoochy were hanging out with their friends in the living room, amongst other students while waiting for their dates. Kai was wearing a teal leather jacket, and a white vest shirt under. A gold necklace surrounded his neck to complement the white shirt, and he wore blue ripped jeans which matched the size and longness of his legs. To finish the look he wore white clean cut trainers. Skoochy on the other hand wore a combination of black and grey. He wore a grey leather jacket with no arms, [to show of his arms to Ikki] a black t shirt and black jeans and grey trainers. ''What time is it?' Kai asked impatiently, while Skoochy took out his smart phone to check, ''It's only now ten minutes to 9 o,clock.'' Skoochy replied as he saw Kai fidgeting uncontrollably. ''Kai look at you, if I didn't know any better I'd say your even nervous than I am.'' Skoochy chuckled while Kai just rolled his eyes in attempt to hide his nervousness. ''Skoochy I'm fine…And even if I was nervous there is nothing wrong with it.'' Kai stopped and glared at Skoochy for awhile, thinking how weird it was for him to be calm. ''Skoochy your…Your so calm, why is that? Because you are really stressing me out.'' Kai whimpered out stressfully, ''Well I've been in this situation before, remember Jinta?'' ''Oh yeah the supposed ''love of your life''. What ever happened between you too anyway? You never told me.''

Although the two male teens were getting into a indulging conversation, the atmosphere around them was still alive. Students were chatting, dancing, drinking, shouting and running around doing God knows what. The music still kept pumping at the loudest it could, and at that Kai and Skoochy found themselves speaking louder into each other. To get away from the noise the two went outside on the porch of the mansion.

Skoochy now took in a deep breath and then continued on, ''Yeah about that…Things never worked out. She didn't feel the same way about me, and I was kinda of ashamed to tell you guys about it.'' Skoochy said tenderly as Kai put a hand on his dear friends shoulder, ''Man that stinks.'' Kai said sadly, and Skoochy gave a half backed smile back in return. ''Yeah it did. I never felt that way before, and it really hurt when she didn't feel the same way. From then on I decided I'm not gonna open up to any other girl again, because I wanted to be saved from the pain. So I only had temporary relationships, nothing special to protect myself from the rejection. Plus I hadn't gotten over Jenna for a long time, but that all changed when I met Ikki. I didn't know I could feel the same way again, or even a hundred times better. But I did.''. Kai now looked at Skoochy with open eyes, ''How did you know you felt that way about Ikki?'' at this question Skoochy just laughed and looked upwards, ''Remember that day I told you and Yoko about that gorgeous girl I met.'' ''Yeah'' Kai said quickly ''And you only thought it was just nothing more than another girl.'' ''Yeah'' Skoochy went on, ''That was the day I knew. That's why I wanted to do this bet so much, because I knew I had to be with her, even if she couldn't date.'' ''Wow.'' Kai whispered in shock, while Skoochy began to stare at him. The look he had on his face was like the very same look he had when he realised his thoughts for Ikki. Maybe he feels the same way about Jinora, Skoochy thought. ''Kai do you by any chance have feelings for Jinora, because if you do that's fine, but we shouldn't carry on this plan. I don't want anyones feelings to get hurt.'' ''But you didn't think of that when we made the plan?'' Kai said in a harsh tone, as another guy hit into him. It was clear the guy was drunk and didn't know what he was doing, but with a lot of things on his mind Kai didn't realise this. Now pissed off Kai grabbed the guy by his shirt and pulled him in, ''What the hell?'' Kai yelled, but the music was too loud for anyone else inside to notice. ''Dude wassup? I'm just trying to have a little fun.'' the dude said slowly while spitting accidentally, making Kai push him backwards ''Watch the hell where you going.'' Kai yelled again causing Skoochy to come to his side. ''Kai calm down he's just drunk. Why are you so pissed off?'' Skoochy questioned causing Kai to push him away, ''You basically trying to make me look like the bad guy, because of the way I may feel.'' Skoochy now getting angry clinched his hands, ''No I'm not Kai, I just don't want anyone to get hurt.'' Skoochy argued back, ''Well why didn't you think of that before huh?'' ''I don't know Kai. Seriously..I…I just wanted to be with Ikki, and since she couldn't date I had to do anything I could to make that happen.'' Skoochy went on. Kai now raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth at realisation towards something. ''I get it.'' Kai said slowly making Skoochy confused, ''What? Get what?'' Skoochy said in an annoyed manner ''You don't want to look bad in front of Ikki. Don't you? In case the whole plan back fires.'' Kai practically spat towards Skoochhy, and at this notion Skoochy just looked at Kai disgusted with anger, and then turned just walked away.

10 more minutes had gone and Kai was waiting alone, now inside of the mansion for his date Jinora. He was leaning his back against the wall, and was drinking a beer, while the other students were dancing. What the hell was taking her so long? Why is she not here yet? And why does Skoochy have to piss me off, were all thoughts that were rushing around Kai's head. He was supposed to be happy for his date, which he genuinely was but Skoochy ruined that all. To his dismay Kai found a hand on his leg. His head shot down towards the hand, not noticing the girl who had been doing this. The nails on the hand had red washed nail polish, and they began to trace Kai's leg in a sexual way. Noticing this Kai shot his head up automatically to find a familiar face. However this wasn't the face he had hoped for. The girl had long black hair which was put to one side, and was wearing a white small martini dress, with a gold zip in the middle, with big hoop earrings to match. Makeup covered her face, as she had bright red lip stick, blue eye shadow, and too much eyeshadow/eyeliner. Her legs and cleavage were exposed in the skimpiest way, making her look to revealing. And her feet were sporting big black heels to complete her outfit. ''Ying what are you doing?'' Kai said annoyingly now moving her hand off him, while she just giggled in response. Out of all nights, the clingy girl who he had a complicated relationship with just had to come into the scene. ''I've been looking for you, we haven't spent anytime together in weeks.'' Ying said in a whiney seductive tone, only to make Kai sigh in a harsh manner. Still very much pissed off, Kai slightly pulls Ying to him and says in her ear ''Look Ying I really don't want to do anything with you right now. I have a date tonight, so please just go.'', but she wasn't ready to take a hike just yet as she was just smiling and still giggling. Kai now let he go and went back to drinking his beer, pretending Ying wasn't even present. ''A date? I know you don't mean that Kai. Come on you've said many things in the past, but I know your going to come back to me. And I'm happy to allow it'' Kai now stopped drinking his beer and turned to Ying's direction ''Not this time. Look Ying whatever we do I don't want to do it anymore. Okay so drop this and go.'' Kai went on leaving Ying to look a bit upset, ''You can't just throw what we had all down the drain.'' Ying cried as she gestured her hand out in the air, making Kai become more stern and even more pissed off. He was waiting desperately for the girl he was crazy about to arrive for their date, and he just had a fight with his best friend which he now regrets. He didn't need this clingy girl on his side, especially now.

''We were never exclusive to begin with Ying, so what did we have exactly? Tell me?'' Kai roared at Ying, causing her to become upset. ''What's wrong with you? You've been changing lately, it's like your not even you anymore.'' Ying not took Kai's free hand and pulled it close to her, ''You don't even have the thrill or lust to sneak around anymore. You used to love sneaking around, going crazy, being spontaneous, but you've changed ever since that girl came in.''. Realising at what she had just said, she left go of Kai's hand looking shocked and surprised. ''It's that girl isn't it? The one with those creepy hats, she's your date?'' Kai now just stared feeling a little sympathy for Ying. Even if he didn't have any feelings, and was just using her to realise any of his sexual frustrations, a little part of him felt guilty. ''Tell me you didn't fall for that, that backwashed damsel?'' Kai just looked away, making Ying furious ''That's why you spent so much time with her isn't it? At lunch basically all the time. I even saw you walking around with her after school with a huge smile on your face.''. Ying now laughed in an angry manner, and crossed her arms staring Kai down viscously. '' That bitch!'' Ying shouted causing Kai to drop his beer bottle to the ground, ''What did you just call her?'' Kai said through clinched teeth. If looks could kill Ying would be dead by now. Kai was pissed off from the events from before, but now Ying really ticked him off. If Kai were a bomb, then he was about to explode. There was so much Kai wanted to do at that moment, but all he could think about was Jinora. He knew she wouldn't condone his anger, so he done what Jinora would have done at that moment. ''Ying I suggest you'll leave.'' Kai said calmly and sternly, leaving Ying looking upset and confused. Seeing as this wasn't going to get her anywhere, Ying walked away quickly, whipping with tears in her eyes.

''Jinora we're here.'' Ikki cried now tapping her sisters shoulder, while staring out of the car window, ''Ikki I know, wow the house is so big, it's like a mansion. Anyway Opal thank you for letting us get a ride, with you and your boyfriend.'' Jinora said nicely while the car was now going into park. There had been a lot of traffic so it took the four a bit over an hour to arrive. The car they were in was a dark green four seater car, that was slick and shiny. Jinora and Ikki decided to go with Opal and her boyfriend Bolin instead of their dates for the night, because they didn't want their dates to meet their father. They both knew their father, Tenzin wasn't against the whole dating idea in the first place, so it was wise of them to make that choice.''It's okay Jinora, and Bolin didn't mind the much really. He's been dying to met you anyways.'' Opal said happily, ''It's true I am'' Bolin added on with a huge grin. Bolin turned the wheel and did a parallel parking between two other cars, right outside the mansion. With the car parking Jinora's heat began to race, causing her to get anxiety instantly. It was all becoming a reality for Jinora, as she was a glimpse away from the party, and as she looked outside the window she could see the flashing lights, and hear the loud rave party music. At the sight of this Jinora began to hold on to Kai's leather jacket, which she was wearing on. In her mind she strongly hoped that she'd make a good impression and that she'd be able to find Kai easily in amongst the crowd. ''Jinora the car is parked, what are you doing lets go.'' Ikki shouted while tapping Jinora shoulder for the millionth time, ''Come on'' Opal added on as she took of her seat, while Ikki and Bolin did the same. ''Oh yeah I'm coming'' Jinora said quickly while taking off her seat belt, and got out of the car. The four began to walk through the mansion porch, while other students were dancing, chatting and drinking alcohol in the depts of the music. While the four walked, some of the other students stared at them for a brief second, giving Jinora more anxiety. ''Why are all these students looking at us?'' Jinora whispered to her sister, which made Ikki smile, ''I guess they just admire what they see, I knew we should of dressed this way. We all look better than most of the people here.'' Ikki gloated happily while playing with her hair. Jinora could deny that Ikki was right in a way. Jinora and her younger sister were dressed classy, and the very same could be said for her friend Opal and her boyfriend Bolin. They both had a the matching colour scheme of dark green and black clothing, to gave off the impression that they are together to the other students. Still lost in deep thought Jinora didn't even realise that they had arrived at the door.

With a light push by Ikki the door opened revealing the scene of the party. The music was roaring through the room, the lights were beaming, and most of the students were dancing to some famous song that had just turned into some new craze. Jinora's eyes scanned the room looking over a million heads to find her date. Her head was turning all over desperately in confusion to find his face. Where is he? Is he here yet? Maybe he already left? Jinora continued to think until her eyes met a familiar face. She saw shiny beaming emerald eyes open up and glow at the sight of her, causing her to give a huge smile.

This was it she thought. She had finally arrived.
