Kai

Chapter 12

 "Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else you are the one who gets burned, Buddha" I narrated. I flipped through several other books that I have owned on the art of living. It's quite a task to live a life as an enlightened individual. It's probably one of the hardest tasks I will ever encounter in my life, it's easy to end a life but not to maintain one. Several days has passed since my break down with Reign. I can't be stuck in the same hole that I dug myself in years ago. I want to change completely and get away from this misery. Maybe if I just let go things will fall in place.

All I wanna know is, can you come a little closer?

I had spotted Kai in the crowd of kids at school, rushing out of class. Fortunately for my business class I have to ignore it for a little second just a ton to businesses which I think are important. I laid against the wall staring at him waiting for his soul to recognize mine. In an instant he had found my face walking towards me with the still and cold expression. "You need something" he asked. "When you approach me like that you're not gonna expect a thank you" I said staring into his eyes. I could tell from his commentary that this day was greatest. Something happened and I'm curious to know what it is. I was just getting used to his annoying ways around school. "You good?" I asked leaning into his face. "No, I'm not. Can we do this some other day? I don't have a lot of time to waste and I have to get going" he said rushing me. "Yea..." I said cut off by his exit. Redness started to fill in my cheeks. I felt so embarrassed and rejected. The one time I actually choose to be nice I was rejected. I stood there flabbergasted unable to do anything. Walking away I entered the same elevator that I got stuck in, hopefully I could pass out so I could forget everything that just happened.

As a reach the parking lot I spotted Kai in his car sitting there. Curious, i walked up to his car and knocked on his window. He stared at me with such a dark expression it sent chills to my soul. "What do you want?" he asked. "I want to know what's wrong with you" I persisted. He motioned his head notifying me to come in the passenger seat. Entering his Nissan GTR, I admire its fresh black leather interior. "My mom and dad died. My dad shot my mom and shoved her body into the river. It was found today along with my dad hanged in his garage" he said about to tear up. I never realized he was such a softy. " I know I'm not your friend but your father deserves to be in hell just as much as I do....But don't cry over your parents. Death is only a barrier, we all eventually go over that barrier when that time is due" I said trying my best to comfort him. He stared down at his feet with a sullen face. "I'd rather cry about something that's alive, constantly tormenting me. I'm sorry I have such negative words about your father. One thing that I can say is that he wants you to live his legacy not necessarily doing the things that he's done but abiding by the things he's taught you in your own comfort" I said passionately. "Yeah, I know. It's just hard for me, especially when I got no support" he said wiping away a tear. "Well I'm here, I can't be an enemy forever" I said with a light smile. I opened my arms bringing him into a hug. As much as I didn't like any of this he needed one, and so did I.

I placed my keys on the counter, noticing how clean the house looked. We don't own a dirty home, but today it seemed spotless. The scent of lit candles floated from several rooms. "Reign what's going on?" I questioned. "We're having dinner in a couple of hours" she said yelling from her room. I screwed my face perplexed by the occasion. Walking over to her room, she sat comfortably decorating her face. "What are we having dinner for?" I hanged by the door waiting for an answer. "Someone special is coming over for dinner" she said excited. "What?" "Formal attire please" she said tapping the powder of her brush. Slowly I exited her room heading towards my bathroom. I hate when she brings people over. I just hate people in general, but I'm just gonna have to hold it in.

I sat at the head of the table with my legs crossed. Since she asked for formal, I wore a fitted black dress special for this occasion. The doorbell ringed with Reign as its slave. She ran over in her heels quicker than I do barefoot. I waited patiently to see who this guest was. "Hi" a voice said from behind. I turned around getting out of my seat to see a moderate looking man sharply dressed. He wore a button down shirt with the first clasp open. His pants were neatly ironed complimented with a gentle gucci belt. The waves on his head seemed to interest me, the symmetry was impeccable. Although, I could tell he was mixed by his odd complexion. "Be nice" Reign growled. "Hi" I said lifting out my hand. Be nice.

I fiddled with my rice as Regin exchanged giggles across the table. He cleared his throat noticing my face. "I'm Xavier, Reign's boyfriend" he said with bright eyes. "I'm the best friend, Karhé" I said dryly. "I only have one thing to say to you. I will torture for weeks until you die from a long death if you fuck up. Fortunately, you haven't fucked up so congratulations but if you do, I don't give second chances" I said coldly. His expression remained calm as he nodded his head. "Good night" I said leaving the dinner table. I could feel Reign's eyes trying to call me back, but I declined gratefully. Trailing back into my room, I stripped my clothes away flinging them everywhere.

Who says I want to change the world?
