The Thing With Hajimes
Me: Last chapter was kind of a filler
Kellyn: Glad to help
Me:Isn't he so cute?
Kellyn: ?
Me: you
Keith: ?
Me: *sigh* Keith, this is why I torture you and not Kellyn
Karrie: Do tell
Me: Kellyn is really cute and handsome, I mean look at him! How can you say he isn't the least bit good looking?
Karrie: *sweat drops* simple, he's my brother
Keith: easy, he's a boy, I'm a boy, oh, and he's Karrie's brother
Kate: I agree with Ash
Keith & Karrie: you would
Kellyn & Kate: *blush*
Me: Is it just me, or does it seem like Keith and Karrie share similar views?
Kate: You're right
Kellyn: I wonder why
Karrie: *blushes*
Chapter 7: The Antics of Rythmi Note
Kate shivered as she had to take the trail of courage with only Keith to help. It was dark and she was breaking the rules.
"You okay Kate?" asked Keith.
"Yeah," replied Kate. "I'm just not used to doing something like this. Last time I did something as close as this, it was with my best friend Kellyn."
"Who's Kellyn?" asked Keith.
"Kellyn Hajime, he's an old childhood friend of mine. We got sent to two different schools for high school." replied Kate.
"What school does he go to?" asked Keith. "Just out of curiosity."
"Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School," replied Kate.
"You serious?" asked Keith and Kate nodded. "Only,like, the smartest and most talented can get in there! It's highly exclusive. I heard you had to have to pass all kinds of written tests and other hands on tests before you can get in."
"I never knew that. He never explained to me what the school was about. In fact, I was being rushed to get here by my parents." replied Kate.
"I bet you Rythmi is going to want to know." said Keith.
"Do you like her? I just asking because it seems like something is going on between the two of you." said Kate.
"Okay, maybe I do have a slight crush on her. Just don't tell her, okay?" replied Keith turning a little pink.
"Alright." replied Kate with a giggle. "Just to be fair, I'll tell you that I really like, possibly even love, my friend Kellyn."
"Aw, miss him?" asked Keith.
"Everyday." replied Kate as they finished the trial of courage only to almost get caught by Mr. Kincaid [author apologizes, it's Mr. Kincaid, not Mr. Kimball. Very hard to watch a video for dialogue, pause, write, watch, pause, write, and repeat.] They ran back to the dorms.
"So? How did it go?" asked Rythmi.
"Almost. Got. Caught. By. Mr. Kincaid. How. About. You?" answered Keith in between breaths.
"Oh my gosh! You almost got caught by Mr. Kincaid? Are you alright?" asked Rythmi as she started to fuss over Kate.
"What he said." replied Kate.
"So Keith, any thing else happen down there you'd like me to know?" asked Rythmi.
"What do you mean?" asked Keith.
"Oh you know." replied Rythmi.
"You think some thing romantic happened? Ew! Rythmi!" protested Keith.
"Nothing even close to that happened." replied Kate.
"Oh," said Rythmi while pouting. "I think you two would make a great couple."
"Rythmi!" shouted Keith only to get shushed at by everyone else.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you Rythmi, but my heart already belongs to someone else." said Kate with a respectful bow and then she walked to her room only to be followed by Rythmi. She got all changed for bed and sat down on her bed only to find Rythmi's face some where around a foot away from her own face.
"Okay, spill the beans." said Rythmi as she sat down on Kate's bed.
/~Rythmi's antics~/
When Kate had said her heart belonged to someone else, Rythmi knew she just had to find out more. So she decided to follow Kate and she then asked her right before Kate could fall asleep.
"Okay, spill the beans." she said as she sat down on the bed.
"A-about what?" asked Kate nervously.
"You said your heart already belongs to some one else. Who?" asked Rythmi.
"Kellyn, Kellyn Hajime," replied Kate as she started to blush.
"Who's Kellyn?" asked Rythmi.
"He's my best friend, we've been friends since early childhood. We've been in same school since pre-school until now." replied Kate. "He got sent to Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School."
"Where the geniuses go?" asked Rythmi.
"That's what I heard." replied Kate.
"I heard that it is wicked hard to get in and there is very little communication coming from and in that school now." said Rythmi. Kate got really silent. "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll find a way to get in touch with you."
"You mean it?" asked Kate as she looked up.
"Yeah," replied Rythmi. "Now tell me more about this Kellyn in detail, I'm dying to know." Kate then described Kellyn for her. From what she heard, Kellyn was one piece of man. Kind, caring, strong, and smart. Reliable, sweet, sometimes annoying, and gentle. A great friend. "What does he look like? Details, my dear, details." Kate blushed.
"Well, he's got brown hair that's always neatly combed in the front but spiky in the back. He's got oceanic blue eyes. He's taller than me by a few inches. Skinny but in fit." replied Kate.
"Is he cute? Handsome? Hot?" asked Rythmi.
"All of the above," replied Kate with a small smile though she had to be as red as a Tamato Berry.
"I'm jealous then." replied Rythmi. "I wonder if all the girls are swarming over him at his school." Kate went silent again. "But, I doubt you have anything to worry about. Sounds to me like he can handle himself quite nicely." Kate nodded. "Why do I have a feeling you're hiding information from me?"
"W-w-we kissed!" blurted Kate and then she covered her mouth after turning so red it could compete with a Tamato Berry.
"You did want with him?" asked Rythmi in shock.
"First, I-i-i-i brushed my lips against his unintentionally, I didn't mean to! I swear!" replied Kate, still blushing. "The-then just when I thought he would be upset, he-he-he smiled, and-and-and he kissed me."
"Kiss on the cheek or real kiss?" asked Rythmi.
"Real kiss." replied Kate.
"Oh," replied Rythmi. "Go on."
"We-we-we got caught though and-and-and he almost had to face a lot of charges. But-but-but just when we thought everything was going to be okay," said Kate.
"You two found out that you weren't going to the same school." finished Rythmi and Kate nodded. "Then what?"
"I-i-i got my parents to give my 20 minutes to talk to him in private," replied Kate.
"Did you tell him then?" asked Rythmi and Kate shook her head no.
"I-i-i kissed him, and-and-and he kissed back," replied Kate while turning deeper shades of red. "I tried telling him before I had to go but-but-but when I tried to tell him, I was drowned out by my father's yell."
"Aw, poor sweetie." replied Rythmi as she comforted a now crying Kate. "You know what's funny?" Kate shook her head no. "I've seen the last name Hajime pop up twice while looking at the possible incoming students list."
"Really?" asked Kate.
"Yep," replied Rythmi. "One's trying to transfer here and another is already set to come here later in the year."
"Is there room for both of them?" asked Kate.
"I, I don't know." replied Rythmi. "Get to sleep. I'm going to work over time tomorrow." Rythmi got into her own bed and watched as Kate fell asleep.
/~Rythmi's antics/
When Kate woke up she noticed two things, one: Rythmi wasn't there, and two: there was a note on her night stand for her. Kate got up and read the note.
Dear Kate,
I got up early so that I could maybe ask Ms. April and Mr. Lamont a few questions concerning your boyfriend and that other Hajime. I might be late to class so if Keith asks you where I am, tell him that I'm busy and am at the library. I'll tell you how it goes later. Relax, okay? I have a feeling you told Keith already about this Kellyn of yours so I guess you can go to him for comfort about that if I'm not around.
Yours Truly,
Rythmi
Kate shook her head. Rythmi was just trying to be a good friend, but what if she ruins Kellyn's chances of transfering here?
"Kellyn, I miss you," mumbled Kate under her breath. She got up and went to change into her school uniform. While looking in the mirror, she noticed how plain she looked and it bothered her.
How could Kellyn kiss someone this plain? I mean look at me! There isn't anything special about me. Thought Kate.
And that's where you're wrong. Said a voice in her head that sounded like Kellyn.
Kellyn. Kate thought as she held her breath.
You're beautiful. Said the voice that sounded like Kellyn in her head. Kate blushed, but then shook her head thinking that she must be going insane if she was starting to have conversations with him in the back of her head. Silly girl. Chuckled Kellyn's voice.
Kellyn, how-? Thought Kate.
Not now, you don't want to be late for class, do you? Speaking of class, I need to go before Ben tries to either sit on me or pour cold water on me. Said Kellyn's voice. Nice talking to you Kate.
You mean thinking. Corrected Kate in her thoughts.
Oh yeah. Replied Kellyn's voice. Yikes! That's cold!
Kellyn? What's wrong? Asked Kate in her thoughts but she didn't get an answer.
/~what happened to Kellyn~/
Kellyn awoke from having ice cold water being poured on to his face.
"Yikes! That's cold!" yelped Kellyn.
"About time!" said Ben.
"What was that for?" asked Kellyn.
"Obviously to wake you up." replied Ben. "Oh, and you were muttering in your sleep, like you were talking to someone. I think I heard you use the name 'Kate.'"
"Was that a dream? It seemed so real." muttered Kellyn under his breath.
/~back to Kate~/
Kate entered the classroom to find that Rythmi wasn't there yet. As soon as she sat down, Keith asked a question Rythmi had said he would ask.
"Where's Rythmi?" asked Keith.
"I think she said she went to the library. She left before I woke up so I really don't know." replied Kate.
"Oh, it's just that she's never late. I thought maybe something happened to her." said Keith.
"Aw, how sweet and you said it was only a slight crush," replied Kate.
"Shut up," scowled Keith so quietly only Kate could hear him.
"She said that she knew you would ask where she was," whispered Kate.
"Oh, really?" asked Keith as he started to slightly blush.
"For a slight crush, you got it bad." replied Kate as she shook her head.
/~Later~/
"Kate! Keith! Guess what I found out!" shouted Rythmi.
"What the heck did you do that had to take forever in a day in the library?" asked Keith.
"I was talking to Mr. Lamont in the Staff Room. I told Kate in a letter to tell you I was at the library. Knowing you, first thing you'd do if you found out I was in the Staff Room would be to assume the worse and attempt to 'rescue' me." replied Rythmi. Keith turned bright red. Kate giggled.
"Shut up." muttered Keith as he glared at Kate who immediately stopped laughing.
"First: We're having a new student come in towards , like, May and June." said Rythmi. "Second: Mr. Lamont said he'd like to accept Kellyn but he can't due to complications on his parents' part."
"Oh," replied Kate looking very disappointed. "Wait, isn't June the end of the school year?"
"Not for us," replied Keith. "We have school all year long."
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you! You know that special competition event that takes place in July every 3 years?" asked Rythmi.
"No," replied Kate.
"Yes," replied Keith.
"Well, the Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School is competing against us here! If Kellyn makes it on the team, we might get to see him!" Kate and Rythmi squealed leaving Keith to sweat drop.
"And once again, the antics of Rythmi Note begin," muttered Keith.
Me: I just had to have Keith say the title of the chapter at the end, it had fit so well
Karrie: Rythmi knows Keith well. Why does Keith have a crush on her anyways?
Kellyn: Jealous?
Karrie: N-n-n-no! Why would I be jealous?
Kate: Denial
Karrie: I hate you guys
Me: hate's a strong word
Keith: Do I want to know who is going to intrude on our lives starting May to June?
Me: That depends, on how you feel about it?
Kellyn: Stupid parents won't let me transfer!
Karrie: Stupid parents won't bring me along when ever they go to meetings concerning Kellyn!
Ben: Pouring ice cold water on Kellyn, now that was fun.
Kellyn: *angry glare at Ben* I WILL KILL YOU BEN!
*Kellyn is now chasing a franticaly running Ben*
Me: T.T Ben, why bother running? He's going to catch you eventually
