Chapter 16
Honey Bunny
A loud sneeze was heard from upstairs. Kimi wiped her sore nose. She always got colds and flues. She lay on her bed, full of sweat. The covers were half on the bed, and half on the floor. Her mother waddled in, with a bowl of soup. "How are you feeling?" she asked softly. Kimi stared at her mother. Her messy hair was all over her face, and her red nose shone like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. "Bad." Kimi replied. Kuki nodded. She placed the soup on her daughter's table, and left without another word. Kimi placed her face into her pillow. Why did she have to get sick on the weekend. Poor Charlie, he'll think she stood him up.
Charlie placed his hands around the hot coffee mug. He was sitting in the Food Court near a small café in the Mall. It was a week before Valentine's Day. His and Kimi's official anniversary. The waitress strolled over to him. "Do you want another one honey?" she asked sweetly. He checked his watch. "Em, no thanks." he said quietly. She nodded her head, and went over to another table. "Where the hell is she?" he said out loud. Nothing in the world would she ever miss this. Was it something he said, was she in danger.. Has Lizzie returned to her ways and taken her. He grabbed his phone and dialled Kimi's mobile. No luck, it was turned off. He huffed grumpily. He decided to call Ben. "What?" grumbled Ben. He was obviously annoyed at him for phoning. Charlie could hear a soft giggle in the background. "Sorry, but do you know where Kimi is?" he asked. "Yeah, she's in the house. If you don't mind I need to get back to.. My video game." he quickly said. Charlie rolled his eyes, as the phone went dead. A girl with long black hair walked by Charlie. She was with a certain sister of his. "Sophie." he called. She immediately turned around, and so did his sister. "Oh, hey Charlie." she smiled. They both stood near his table. "So are you waiting for Chris, or David?" asked Louise. "No, I'm waiting for Kimi." he said, a little bit angrily. "Oh didn't you know, she's unwell. Can't even make it out the front door." replied Sophie. "Oh crud. I knew she wouldn't miss this for anything.. I'm gonna kill Ben." he said furiously. He stood up and left money on the table. He hugged Sophie quickly. He only nodded at his sister. She smirked at him. "I advise you to punch the hell out of my bro. He's been a real pain recently." shouted Sophie. Charlie nodded his head, while he grabbed the pink gift bag from under the table, and ran towards the exit.
"C'mon Lucky time for your walk." called Kuki. Lucky the two year old black Labrador wagged his tail. Kuki grabbed her bright green coloured shawl, and strapped it around her neck. "Won't be long Kimi." shouted Kuki. Kimi groaned. She opened the front door and the pair were down the street towards the park. The door bell rang, and Kimi lazily walked down the stairs.
"Sorry, but I don't want anything." she said, without looking at who it was. "Okay, I'll just go then." smirked a certain boy. Kimi jumped, and placed her arms around him. "I'm so sorry for not calling you or texting you. My phone ran out of battery, and I think Lucky got to it before me." she quickly said. He shook his head, while smiling. She let him inside. "So how are you?" he asked. "Well, other than sneezing and throwing up.. I'm just dandy." Kimi replied. He rolled his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her. She snugly placed her head into his chest. She could smell the aftershave she had bought him last year. "Wanna watch a movie?" she asked quietly. He nodded.
The sound of fighting and gunfire was heard. Kimi jumped, and hugged tightly into Charlie. He chuckled. "We can always change-.." he began, when she cut him off. "No, you've always wanted to see this movie. So we will continue watching it." she commanded. He saluted, while she kissed him on the cheek. The door banged, and her mother walked in. "Aw, hello Charlie." she said, as Lucky jumped up on him. He licked his cheek. "Aw, and hello to you too Lucky." said Charlie. Kimi giggled. "I see you're better now." said her mother sternly. "Em, not really. Charlie came by since it is our anniversary." replied Kimi quietly. "Aw well in that case, Charlie can stay, but only until your dad get's home." Kuki said. She whistled for Lucky, and they both went into the kitchen. Charlie never did once let Kimi go. He was still holding her tight.
"Well, it's time for me to go now." said Charlie sadly. Kimi nodded. They both embraced each other with a kiss. "Oh, I almost forgot." said Charlie. He took out the pink gift bag. Kimi excitedly opened it, and she took out a pink teddy. It was shape as a koala bear. "Aw, it's so cute." she replied. "You shall be Wibble." she said happily. Charlie opened the front door, and Kimi shook. "I'm sorry I didn't get you anything. I've been sick since yesterday, and that was gonna be the day I got you your gift." Kimi sweetly said. He nodded. She kissed him on the cheek. "And you will be called.. Honey Bunny." she giggled. Charlie chuckled, and nuzzled her nose with his nose. "Bye Eskimo." he replied. She stomped her foot. "Just because I played a Eskimo in a play, doesn't mean I am." she said, while crossing her arms. "Well since I'm now Honey Bunny, you have to be Eskimo.. Remember my dad is a lawyer. He wins every time." grinned Charlie. Kimi pouted, and then kissed him for the last time, before shutting the door in his face. "Bye Kimi Cutie pie." he said quietly. He whistled, as he made his way home.
Kimi got on the yellow school bus, along with her two siblings. Christopher, Angela, David, and Madison were already on board. A girl with braces, smiled at Kimi. She smiled back. The girl was holding a pink lunchbox, which she never let go of. She was sitting at the front by herself. "Hey guys." called Ben. He took a seat beside Madison. Sophie quickly sat beside Christopher, while David and Angela were behind them playing a video game. Kimi sat in a seat in front of everyone by herself. The slow downed, and stopped outside a stop, then another until it got to the Uno's. As Kimi was all better now, she could spend time with Charlie, and make up for the last weekend. Louise walked up the steps, and past the girl with braces. "Hey, Louise." smiled the girl. The girl showed her braces. "Hey Naomi." smiled Louise back. Louise continued down the bus, and found her friends near the back. "Hey, what's up." said Christopher coolly. "Nothing." grinned Louise, as she sat down beside Kimi. "Where's Charlie?" Kimi immediately said. "He's ill. He's currently being sick in the toilet at the moment." replied Louise. "Aw, poor baby." said Kimi sadly. Kimi turned to the window. She gave him the flu she had last weekend. Louise rolled her eyes at her. "Have you done the English homework?" asked Madison, while flicking her hair. She stared down at the white folder in her hands. "Shit! I forgot!" shouted Louise, while placing her head in her hands. "It's okay.. He's off anyway.." said Angela, as she never took her eyes off her video game. David was sitting beside her, watching closely. "And how-.. Actually I don't want to know how you know this.." said Louise. "Madison, where's your-.." began Sophie, when Ben jumped in. "Trevor is playing at Ohio High." stated Ben, while grabbing hold of Madison's hand. "Football? Or Soccer?" asked Louise. "Soccer." said Christopher. Kimi didn't really took an interest in the rest of the conversations. She was too busy thinking about the boy she had gave an illness too.
"Hey, Kimi are you listening?" asked Sophie. Kimi shook her head. "What?" she asked quickly. "We're going shopping tomorrow. Wanna come?" Angela asked. Kimi shrugged her shoulders. It was very unusual for her to do that.
Kimi walked into the lunch hall, it was Meatball Mondays. She grabbed her tray, and a tall bottle of orange juice. She went down the line slowly, with her friends behind her. The Lunch Lady slapped the meatballs onto her plate, and some various of vegetables. She made her way through other people, to the group's usual table. Sophie, Angela, David, Christopher, Ben, and Madison soon joined her. "So here's the plan, we act normal around Louise, since Trevor wants to make it a surprise." commanded Ben, while he dug into his meatballs. "Oh Ben, you know I feel guilty when lying to people." Madison commented. "You just have to try." replied Sophie. Madison nodded. "Anyway guys, I'll be right back, Trevor wants me to take him a sandwich to the Janitor's Closet." said Ben, as he took out his phone to read the text. He stood up, and went over to the now small line, to get Trevor a sandwich. He then sprinted towards the closet, before Louise entered the lunch hall.
After eating her food, Madison took out her nail-polish, a sort of light orange. Kimi stared at the colour. "I've ran out of the red one." grumbled Madison. Ben sat down quickly beside Madison. "C'mon Chris let's play that new card game." suggested Ben, as Chris quickly took out a pack of cards. Louise who just came out of a long line, strolled over to the table. "Hey, girl." smiled Angela, as she was listening to music with David. Kimi smiled, as she shared a bar of chocolate with her big sister. Madison was busy painting her nails, while Ben, and Christopher were playing a new game called 'Go-go Po-Po'. (Which involved cards, and you had to make shapes with them in less than 20 seconds) "Hey, Angela." grinned Louise, as she sat beside Madison. Madison shifted in her seat nervously. She didn't dare to look at Louise in her eyes. Louise could sense the tension.
"Is something up?" asked Louise, while she sipped her milk. "No.." lied Madison. She then took a last gulp of her water, and got up. She headed towards the exit. "Madison! Chris we'll finish this later." said Ben, while he ran after his girlfriend. Sophie rolled her eyes, while Christopher tidied the cards up. "We need to go, c'mon Kimi." began David, while he grabbed Kimi's arm, and pulled her away. Angela stood up, and followed behind them. Sophie and Christopher awkwardly sat eating their lunches. Lucky for them, they were nearly done. "Have I done something?" asked Louise. Sophie didn't answer and quickly discarded her rubbish. Christopher shrugged his shoulders, and left with his girlfriend. "This has gotten to be the worst day ever!" shouted Louise, when she got stares off her classmates and couples. The door of the canteen banged shut, as her friends had left her by herself.
"Where are we going?" asked Kimi curiously. "Well, I need to go to the Computer room, with Angela, but you can wait outside if you want?" he asked. She shrugged. "Why say I had to go then?" she said, a little bit furiously. "Well, I didn't want you left with Louise, since you are obviously missing Charlie." he replied softly. Kimi nodded. "Well, since your phone is out of it. You can use mine." said Angela. She gave Kimi her sparkly purple phone, which had some extra buttons than the normal phones. "Thanks." smiled Kimi, while hugging Angela. The pair left Kimi by herself near the lockers, as they made their way towards the Computer room. She dialled Charlie's house number, and the long ringing stopped with a voice on the other end. "Hello?" it croaked. "Charlie!" said an over excited Kimi. Charlie chuckled. "Hey, who's phone are you on?" he asked. "Angela's… Anyway I just want to say sorry for giving you the flu." she said, while sniffling. "It's not your fault, I was bound to get it anyway. You know me, any bug can enter my body." he replied. She giggled softly. "You're bad as me, Honey Bunny." she replied. "I know, we need to stop getting sick, Eskimo." he chuckled. Kimi huffed. "I'm only joking, Kimi Cutie Pie." he said quickly. She smiled, while giggling. They both talked for the rest of the remaining time of Lunch. Next year will be even better.
Yay! Another chapter, I'll try getting another up by tomorrow, or the next day. I've still got 24 chapters to do! Which will mean there will be around 40 chapters to this story.. Oh boy, here's hoping I get this done before the Summer. Since I have to complete my other story, and continue my The Game Master story, and start the other three stories. Oh boy have a hell of a year ahead of me.
