The Thing With Hajimes
Keith: SHE'S BACK!
Me: Out of all people, I least expected you to be extremely happy that I have returned
Karrie: Rhythmi forced me to go on 5 shopping trips already
Me: Rhythmi!
Kate: Yay! She's back? Um, why do you have a different computer?
Me: My computer is out of comission. I can't even get it to turn on! Ugh!
Kellyn: I'm guessing you're using your dad's since I doubt your brother would let you use his computer
Me: Wow, was it that obvious from that one encounter?
Kellyn: Yes
Me: Well any ways I got many things plans plus lots of ideas for future stories
Keith: *starts to throw confetti in the air* the tyrrany of Kate and Rhythmi has finally ended!
Me: You must tell me what you two did to him to make him act like this
Kellyn: Kate had everyone cleaning the place up, Rhythmi was just bosy and was trying to make us do things we didn't want to do
Me: Sadly, that sounds normal
Kellyn: I know right?
Rhythmi: pokelover0ash does not own Pokemon
Me: I wish I could say "I'm back in business baby!" but I can't and it would strange even for me
Keith: Would you like some Reese Peanut Butter Cups?
Me: Yes, thank you. *turns to Kellyn and Karrie* He didn't hit his head while I was gone, right?
Chapter 25: Girls
"Hey Karrie," said Laurie to the brunette that just exited the bathroom. Previously she had a pretty dress on which had made Laurie suspicious. When Keith
came to give back Karrie's sweater, it basically confirmed her suspicions. "So, what were you and Keith up to today?"
"We just went to Pueltown," replied Karrie.
"The couple festival was today though," said Laurie. "Have you been lying to me?"
"No, what do you mean?" asked Karrie.
"You said that you two weren't a couple," replied Laurie.
"That's the truth," replied Karrie.
"Then why were you just out on a date with him?" asked Laurie.
"It wasn't a date," replied Karrie while slightly blushing. "It was just a friendly outing."
"You're fooling no one here," replied Laurie.
"Hey Karrie, where have you been?" asked Sarah Lamount (a.k.a. her enemy). "No one could find Keith so we went to look for you to get some answers but
you were no where to be found. Rhythmi and Kate wouldn't tell us anything."
"She was in Pueltown with Keith," replied Laurie.
"You mean Keith went to the couple festival with her?" asked Sarah while pointing at Karrie.
"Y-yeah," replied Karrie. "Um, I don't like where this is going."
"So that's where the stuffed toy is from." said Tabitha.
"GIRLS! KARRIE'S GOING OUT WITH KEITH!" screamed Sarah at the top of her lungs and soon every single girl in the dorm surrounded Karrie. By now
Rhythmi and Kate had entered the room and could see that Karrie was in trouble. Murmurs spread through the crowd.
"AM NOT!" screamed Karrie. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Part of her outburst was due to the fact that she still is in denial and what-not, the other part (the rather
large part) was that she was surounded completely by the girls.
"You better not be dating him," said Sarah, "because Keith is mine. You got that?" Karrie glared at her in anger.
"You're getting your hopes up way to high Sarah," replied Kate who was making her way through the crowd. "Keith doesn't like you one bit. I recall him saying that he doesn't like his fan girls." About half of the crowd gasped in horror. Sarah went stiff, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry Sarah," said Tabitha. "Remember that really hot guy that showed up at the end of the tournament? And then there was that really cute boy that showed up along with the really hot guy?"
"Yeah," replied Sarah. "Karrie and Kate seemed to know the really hot guy." All the girls looked at Kate and Karrie. It was then that the two brunettes realized who this guy was that they were talking about.
"Are you talking about Kellyn?" asked Kate.
"Tall, brown hair that's combed in the fron and spiky in the back, handsome..." replied Sarah. A number of the girls had this dreamy expression.
"Yep, they're talking about Kellyn," said Karrie. "He seems to have that affect on girls..."
"You know him?" asked Sarah. It was as if she had forgotten that she was mad at Karrie for spending the whole day with Keith.
"Duh," replied Karrie. "He's my brother."
"Why did he hug Kate then?" asked Tabitha. It was then one of the other girls spoke up.
"This Kellyn obviously has a deeper relationship with Kate. I saw her kissing him before the other school left." said the girl. The attention was shifted to Kate who was now blushing.
"Duh," repeated Karrie. "She's my brother's girlfriend." Okay so it was true but then again it was exactly offical.
"What if I told you Karrie kissed Keith Sarah?" asked Rhythmi. Sarah glowed with anger and rage. Karrie started to blush.
"I would kick her out of the dorm and then I'd either have her kicked out of the school or rip her to shreds, maybe even both," replied Sarah. "But she wouldn't dare!" Karrie looked around nervously at all the eyes that were now staring at her. She had kissed Keith, but it was only a peck on the cheek. A friendly kiss. She had not been thinking too clearly then.
~to the boys~
Keith sat on his bed and just stared out into space. He touched his cheek where Karrie had kissed him.
"Earth to Keith," said Isaac while waving his hand in front of Keith's face.
"She kissed me," muttered Keith who was still in a trance.
"Who kissed you?" asked Isaac. "Karrie?"
"Karrie," replied Keith in space out tone revealing to Isaac that he still wasn't out of it.
"I guess this means you two are a couple now," said Isaac as he went to his own bed. That snapped Keith out of it.
"We're not a couple!" replied Keith while turning bright red.
"You just said she kissed you," said Isaac.
"Y-yeah," replied Keith as he went to touch where Karrie had kissed him. "but it was only a peck on the cheek, it doesn't mean any thing."
"Okay, look, when some one kisses some one it always means something," said Isaac. "You know that Keith, you just don't want to admit it."
"It was just as a thank you and nothing more," replied Keith.
"Uh-huh, do you truely believe that?" asked Isaac. Keith remain silent. "That's what I thought." It was then when Todd came into the dorm.
"Um, guys? We heard some yelling coming from the girls' dorm." said Todd.
"And?" asked Isaac.
"Some of the boys think there's a fight going on in there," replied Todd. Keith shot up immediantly with the sudden realization that if there was a fight, Karrie probably managed to be in the middle of it. Isaac and Todd looked at him.
"Any thing else?" asked Keith.
"There's some thing some of the boys want to ask you Keith," replied Todd. Keith nodded and the three boys made their way out of the dorm and into the lounge.
"Keith! Is it true your going out with Karrie?" asked Ponte. Keith wanted to go back into the boys' dorm suddenly.
"No, where did you hear that?" asked Keith trying to sound as calm as possible.
"Sarah only screamed that Karrie was going out with you on the top of her lungs." replied Ponte.
"But didn't we hear Karrie scream 'am not'?" asked Michael.
~to the girls~
It took a while for it to sink in that what Rhythmi had hinted was true for the crowd of girls. It hit Sarah first, like a ton of bricks.
"You're not seriously suggesting that Karrie would even have the guts to kiss Keith," said Sarah. The three girls remain silent. Laurie just looked at her friends since she was still trying to figure out it was true. "She did didn't she?" Karrie, Kate, and Rhythmi looked at each other and then back at Sarah. Sarah lost it. "YOU SLUT!"
~outside the girls' dorm~
"YOU SLUT!" was what the boys heard Sarah say. Most of the boys had left because they were bored and tired or they were just there to get an answer from Keith. Keith started shaking with rage, especially since for some reason he knew exactly who Sarah was yelling at.
"Keith, you may want to calm down a bit," warned Isaac.
"SHE'S NO SLUT YOU JEALOUS HAG!" they heard Kate yell. Keith would have to make sure he thanked her later for that. Soon after and angry mob of girls literally threw Rhythmi, Kate, and Karrie out of the room. Keith and Isaac went over to their friends only to almost being trampled by the angry mob.
"Yikes! Hey! Watch it!" exclaimed Keith. This caught the mob's attention. The mob was now swarming around Keith and Isaac.
"YOU!" yelled some of the girls.
"Keith how could you?" asked Sarah.
"How could I what?" asked Keith.
"Take that heathen on a date to Pueltown on the day of the couple festival," replied Sarah with great anger as she pointed rather harshly at Karrie who was still on the ground from being thrown out.
"First of all she's not a heathen, second of all it was just a friendly outing," replied Keith. Some of the girls believe him on the second part and were content enough to go back to their room.
"You two aren't going out?" asked a girl.
"No," replied Keith. The mob of girl went back into their dorm leaving Karrie, Kate, and Rhythmi. Sarah remained and looked Keith in the eye.
"You can fool them but you can't fool me," said Sarah.
"Are you planning on letting them back in the girls' dorm?" asked Keith who was tired of the subject.
"Only if you go out with me," replied Sarah. Keith thought about for a while. He looked at his friends and the Sarah. He considered a whole bunch of things before coming out with an answer.
"No," said Keith. "It's not worth it." Sarah's jaw dropped and so did Todd's, Isaac's, Rhythmi's, and Kate's. Karrie didn't care that that she didn't have a bed to sleep in. What she did care about oddly enough was whether or not he dated Sarah Lamount. "Especially since I strongly dislike you and despise you." Sarah ran into the girls' dorm crying, almost knocking Laurie flat on her back, and would have shut the door in Laurie's face if Todd's foot wasn't in the way.
"You handle that smoothly," said Isaac.
"I know right?" asked Keith.
"I was being sarcastic," replied Isaac. Keith and Isaac helped Kate, Rhythmi, and Karrie unto their feet. Todd helped Laurie up even though it meant that he had to be technically in the girls' dorm to do so. Laurie had recovered Karrie's egg so that the angry mob of girls would not try to do any thing to it. Luckily, Laurie also saved it from being crushed when she fell.
"You okay?" asked Todd.
"Y-yeah," replied Laurie as blush started to creep up on to her face.
"Laurie, I wasn't aware you had a crush on someone," said Rythmi. Laurie turned bright red.
"Shut up," replied Laurie. Todd, Karrie, and Keith just blinked as they tried to figure out what Rhythmi meant. Kate and Isaac smacked their foreheads. Why did they have to stuck with people that were so dense?
"Guess we're sleeping out here tonight," said Kate.
"Thank you Laurie for making sure my egg was safe through all of that," said Karrie as respectfully bowed her head slightly.
"Your welcome," replied Laurie with a smile. Keith caught Todd staring a Laurie as the girls set up to sleep on the couches. He nudged his buddy.
"What?" asked Todd.
"You like her," replied Keith with a smirk on his face. Todd turned bright red.
"Shut up," replied Todd. "Like you're any better." Keith turned bright red.
