The Bubbly Host Club (Scrapped And Being Rewritten)

Chapter 10 Sweet Words Cure a Broken Heart

I woke the next morning and went to school. I've never missed a day and I'm not about to start now. When I saw Jake, he was as depressed as I was. When he walked into the classroom the chatter stopped and all eyes went to him. 

"Wow" I thought, "his sadness has an effect on everyone." 

A few minutes after he sat down the teacher gave us a pink slip to go to the office and talk with the student council. 

At this school, we're low on money so there aren't a lot of staff members so we just make the student council the councilor. I mean it's supposed to be easier to talk to them, but I would never know; I've never gone, except for now. 

Jake and I walk in the office and sat in the office chairs and waited for Yolie, the secretary of the student council, to take us in her office. She was yelling so I thought she must be in with Cogi. Cogi is your typical grumpy teenager with anger issues. Well I say "teenager" but he's only 12 like me. 

He's autistic so people don't treat him with respect causing him to act out violently. Even when people don't make fun of him he still gets very violent because he feels like no one understands what he is going through except for his twin brother, Kouichi. 

Their parents are divorced and they both got remarried. Cogi would live with their dad and Kouichi would live with their mom, but sometimes, when I hear them talking, they decide what house they want to go to after school. I guess they sometimes would live with each other, but that's really all that I hear. I don't see Kouichi around much either, same with Cogi. I only see Cogi in P.E. and sometimes at lunch and for Kouichi I only see him at lunch, too. 

Lunch was just a few minutes away now and Yolie and Cogi were still fighting. I got up out of the chair and put my backpack on my shoulder and looked over towards Jake. He was asleep. I gently shook him and he opened his eyes blinking.

"What time is it?" he asked sleepily. 

"Almost lunch," then the bell rang so I corrected myself saying, "ok well now its lunch." 

Jake half smiled at what I said and saw that I had my pack on so he stood up stretching. Then he grabbed his bag and followed me to the cafeteria; he still doesn't know his way around this place. 

We walked to our normal spot where we eat in the cafeteria and pulled out our lunches. 

A few minutes later Kari came and sat in front of us. She waited for a while and sighed. She hesitated to pull something out of her pocket but when she finally did she set it in my lap. I pretended not to notice it or her but she saw right threw me. 

"Please read it now." she said looking away. 

I put my chopsticks down and read the note: 

Dear TK,

 I've noticed today that you looked really sad, so I'll get straight to the point. I might not know what is making you sad, but what I do know is that you have a better life than mine. What I mean is, my dad is a drunk. He beats my brother Tie and I. Recently, he sent Tie to the hospital, so I ran away. I didn't know where else to go, and being his girlfriend and all, well I moved in with Davis and his family. There really nice and very welcoming. Oh! But I'm not saying that if you move in with someone that it would fix everything, I'm just saying that it helped me feel a little better. The memories are still there and will always be there, but it did help. I hope I'm helping, at least a little. Aw who am I kidding I probably made everything worse, having you worry about me and that other thing that's making you sad? Well I'm sorry, for everything.

Sincerely,

Kari

I handed the letter to Jake so he could read it and for the first time in my life I looked at Kari. I stood up and motioned for her to follow. 

We walked out of the cafeteria to the front of the school. No one is usually there during 5th hour lunch.  

I sat in the grass and Kari sat with me. Then she started to cry in her knees. I looked at her again and put my arm around her waist and scooted her closer to me. She then looked surprised. Kari looked up at me, blushing, and got really close to my face. 

She closed her eyes and came closer, then I closed mine. Our lips finally touched and I pulled her closer to my body.  

"Gosh," I thought squealing in my head, "She smells so good, almost like citrus and Lilly flowers and her lips. Her lips taste like strawberries. Man I love strawberries."  

I groaned uncontrollably then she started to laugh in-between kisses. We stopped kissing and laid in the grass. Well she was in the grass while I was on top of her. 

I hadn't realized I've been smiling until I frowned again. I tried to get up off of Kari but she stopped me and asked, "What's wrong?" in that sweet voice off hers.

I finally spoke to her and said, "Haven't you forgotten? You have a boyfriend and his name is Davis."
