Chapter 3: Let the Games Begin
On the way to school
- I can't believe after going years without a uniform now I'm walking down the street in a short skirt having creepy men gawk at me-
Matt and Rika made their way down the street towards the school. Both wearing the schools uniform, for Matt was dark green pants and a white shirt under a dark green jacket. His hair was styled to perfection while he walked down the street with a cocky smirk on his face. Rika wore the same outfit except instead of pants she wore a short pleated skirt much to her discomfort. Her hair having grown since she was ten is still in a ponytail but it came down reaching a little past mid-back instead of spiked up like before. She walked with confidence though her face showed no emotion.
They walked in silence until Matt broke it, "We're meeting my friends before school starts so you won't start without knowing at least a few people. Hey look there they are."
Rika looked to where Matt had said and saw a somewhat large group of people standing around. –Figures he'd be part of such a big group- "Is the blonde kid with the hat your brother?"
A look that can only be described as filled with pride crossed his face, "Yup that's T.K. my little bro"
"He's like a miniature of you" Rika watched his reaction go from prideful to cocky.
"Of course why do you think he's so popular with the ladies Ishida men are irresistible" He finished by giving her a wink and a smirk that would have melted any girl but not the Ice Queen.
She waited until they were closer all the while contemplating how she would take a blow at his ego. When they were close enough to see them all without them being able to hear their conversation she spoke. "You know now that I get a closer look at him your brother has this sort of attractiveness that you don't", he froze and she kept going, "I don't know what it is but he is definitely hotter then you."
When she saw his friends giving them weird looks she turned to him speaking loud enough for them to hear, "What's wrong? Come on we don't have time for this you said you'd help me around school today"
To her amusement he just stood there frozen in place looking like a five year old that had their favorite toy run over. –T.K. … hotter than me? No one has ever said that… no one thinks that! She's asking me for help? Does she honestly think that I'll help after she said such a horrible lie? I'll show her!-
"No! After what you said you think I'll help? Wrong find your own way around!" He didn't notice the look of horror that his friends gave him or the disappointment on his brother's face.
Being the great actress she is Rika recoiled looking to the entire world a like a frightened girl. She backed away from him as if he were going to strike her before standing her ground, "Fine I will! You jerk I thought I could at least count on the only person here that I know" She turned abruptly doing her best to look hurt. As she walked away she could hear voices scolding the blonde teen.
"What the hell was that about Matt?"
"How could you say that to the poor girl?"
"She's new she doesn't have any friends here!"
"How could you do that Matt, we promised mom and dad we'd look after her."
Later on
The English teacher had stepped out when Rika noticed someone standing in front of her desk. As she lifted her head she really hoped it wasn't one of the boys who had been drooling when she walked in. Instead she met the light amber eyes of a smiling girl with lavender hair and glasses.
"Hi I'm Yolie" her voice was loud but sweet and filled with energy, "I'm one of the people you would have been introduced to this morning if Matt wasn't being a jerk." The last part was said with a tint of anger in it.
"Hi Yolie I'm Rika I'm sorry you had to see that I… I didn't think he'd get that angry." She looked away with an embarrassed hurt expression. – All these years of playing innocent have paid off-
Yolie looked at her with sympathy, "What did you say? You can tell me" Her smile was genuine it almost made Rika feel bad for toying with her… almost.
With a sigh she said, "I just said his brother had something about him that made him more attractive then Matt. If I had known he'd take that way I would have kept my mouth shut."
Yolie groaned, "I should have known," seeing the confused look Rika gave her she explained, "Ishida men are insanely vain. Matt and T.K. are two of the hottest guys in school and even T.K. loses his modesty every now and then. Just don't make comments like that and avoid touching their hair and neither will have an outburst like that."
Rika was stunned she had no idea someone could be so self-absorbed even Ryo wasn't that into himself. Before the teacher came back Yolie invited her to lunch with her and her friends and she accepted. –Let's see if Mattie's still upset-
Lunch
They made their way to tree where she was introduced to everybody but she felt uncomfortable. Though she'd never admit it she would feel better if Matt was there.
"So how do you like it here so far?" asked the girl named Sora, her red hair was shoulder length, her light brown were friendly, well everyone in this group seemed to have eyes filled with kindness except one, and she seemed to actually be interested in what she had to say.
"It's alright it's just weird to have to start over"
The more she talked to them the worse she felt. They were nice people and they all wanted to make her feel welcome. Yet the first thing she did was make them mad at their friend when she was the one who had wanted that reaction. –Since when do I have a conscience stupid Takato must have finally got to me with his you shouldn't play games with people's lives damn him and his goody two shoes ways-
She felt someone sit next to her, it was Matt and he still looked pissed. She looked at him in confusion when he met her gaze.
"Look I'm sorry I yelled at you I overreacted. What do you say we forget about this morning and I help you for the rest of the day?"
"You're still angry" it wasn't a question it was a fact.
"It was a blow to my ego but I'll get over it" he gave her another smirk and this time she could feel the heat rising to her cheeks. She hid her blush by looking down at her food before responding, "Alright let's forget about it" how calm her voice sounded surprised her she was glad she was never the type to fall head over heels.
The group then went into random conversation before it settled on a girl named Keiko who happened to be a model's daughter.
"I swear she thinks just cause her mother's famous I'm going to fall on my knees and beg her to be mine" Matt said laughing.
His best friend Taichi or Tai added his opinion, "I know you remember that Valentine's Day that she got you that huge bear holding a giant chocolate heart? She thought you'd be hers for sure."
They both laughed for awhile to the amusement of their friends and Rika watching them with interest. When they had controlled their laughter Matt spoke, "Do you think all model's daughters are that ditzy?" he directed the question at Tai not noticing that his brother had frozen and the girl next to him had stiffened.
He kept going, "I mean come on who thinks their money can buy them a guy's affection? I can see it now a mob of girls trying to follow in their mothers' footsteps. And I bet none of them are as pretty as their moms actually are." That stung. Rika couldn't believe what she was hearing was this his way of getting back at her for earlier? "Ditzy model spawns they'll never amount to half as much as their mother's could it's a shame their not even decent people."
That was the last straw Rika stood with radiating fury catching everyone's attention. Matt looked up at her confused realization slowly dawning on his face. He stood up quickly trying to explain that he'd forgotten her mother was one of the most famous models in Japan but his mouth was working without words coming out.
"If that's what you think of me I'll spare you having to spend any time with me!" She could never remember being this angry. Other people had told her she was cold hearted and an indecent human why did this stupid conceited boy make her feel like someone stabbed her by saying the same thing everyone else did.
"Rika I…" he grabbed her hand trying to stop her from leaving so he could explain but her other hand swung back in response slapping his hard across the face making him let go in shock. By now the exchange had attracted the attention of most of the student body but he didn't care. He watched her go, he didn't know what to do all he knew was that for some reason her leaving hurt and angry because of him stung more than the cheek she had struck with a great amount of force.
-That was just plain dirty but I'll get you for this Yamato Ishida-
Well that's it, it might be kinda lame but they both need to give the other a low blow I'll try to think of something better for next time please read and review.
