Chapter 16 - Puppy.

"When you're in detention with a guy you dislike, and you want to-"

~

"Yeah, speaking of which. What did you do to be in detention? I'm sure you don't have a six month's detention ticket, 'cause me and my sister do."

When she asked me that question, I couldn't help but chuckle. "It's a secret!" I said, probably grinning like an idiot at the moment. At my response, she scowled and growled at the same time. She still looked at me.

I looked into her eyes in return and we had a staring contest. Several minutes later, she looked away. "Wooo! I won!" Annoyance crawled onto that face of hers. She's cute when she's flustered. She tries to be scary, but in my eyes, she's adorable when she's scary. I chuckled thinking though.

Her sister, Catty was it? She started laughing hysterically, clutching her stomach with her hands as tears of laughter streamed down her cheeks. She continued to laugh without a care in the world. Wait until she's back home with Mika, that'll be just like fireworks.

At the thought I snickered. I don't blame her. I'd probably laugh as well if I were to be in her place. "How long do you have detention for? Like, two weeks? Two months? Four years?" Mika asked me once again, as she would turn her head around to look at me.

"Tsk, I won't tell you. It's a secret. Ever heard of a saying that goes 'It's not a secret anymore if I tell you?' Mika?" Her eyes narrowed as she glared at me, a growl escaped her lips once again. "You're making me want to call you 'Puppy' despite our deal." I said, still looking at her while ignoring her death glare.

To be honest, I'm a little surprised at the fact she didn't figure it out yet. Is she a little slow up there? Or something. I don't know, I'm a bit confused though.

"HOW?!" She shouted, her eyes going wide at the soon-to-be nickname. "It's because you're growling every time I tease you!" I shot back, my shoulders being relaxed as I chuckled. "Oh my god! This is gold!" Cat shouted, after that she laughed.

I chuckled, amused. I was close to bursting out in laughter when she growled once again. "See?! I told you! You just growled! Again!" At my words, she crossed her arms, pouting slightly, mumbling, "Do the world a favour and shut up, would you?"

The grin that was on my face became even bigger at her response.

"Nope!" Geez, I love annoying the shit out of her. "Why not? Meanie!" She exclaimed as she pouted rather childishly. "I dunno, cause I'm too sexy to be shushed?" I retorted, as I would place a hand on my chin pondering. I pretended to be stroking my imaginarily beard.

For a split second, Cat shot me a look that screamed, "Did you forget to take your medication again?" Before she continued to laugh. I chuckled at her antic's, the girls were pretty cool to hang out with. And for Mika, she's way too easy to annoy to be honest.

Well, that's what I think.

"Oh god! You guys are so sweet! Soo sweet! Stop before I get diabetes!" I kept a straight face but couldn't help but snort first then burst out in laughter when Mika's facial expression turned from being annoyed to being horrified. "Shut the hell up sis! Ugh! And you! What the hell are you laughing at?!"

She snapped. "You! Strawberry!" I said, in between fits of laughter.

"Oh shut the hell up with those nicknames of yours! I thought we had a deal! Come on! Don't make me tackle you and hang you upside down and beat you with a bat!" I smirked at that, how easy it was to crawl under her skin and irritate the living fuck out of her.

"I'd like to see you try! Shorty!" I said, knowing the fact she'd be around five foot four. And I? I was way taller then her. My height is a surprise, in which I shall not reveal. "Oh my god! You guys act and argue like a married couple!" I thank thee for thy idiotness, Catty!

You just signed your own death warrant! (Which was totally not my doing).

••••••••••••••••••••

Oh God. They were so cute together. I couldn't get enough of Mika's reactions! My sister shot me a death glare and God, I knew I was in trouble this time. I quickly shot my hands up in defense. "Chill wild kitten!" I heard Jason say to her, I felt a vibration in my pocket.

I reached for my phone, wondering what the hell it was about. Sighing softly in annoyance, I grabbed my bag. "Well my potato nation! I got to go! So you know what? You guys can have fun! But hey, don't go too far! She could faint!"

I said as I shot Mika a grin, she stared at me shocked. From the corner of my eye, I saw Jason burst out laughing. From his reaction I totally knew.

My sister was so ready to get up and slice my fucking throat.

"Hold it tiger. Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I heard Mika snap at me. Crap crap crap crap crap! I was so close to escaping her wrath!  With a soft sigh, and gathering up some bravery. I turned around and faced her. Mika crossed her arms, with a questioning look on her face.

"Uh... I... Umm... Will... Wait for you outside after I am done?!" And with that, I rushed out of the classroom before getting caught by Mister Buckland.

••••••••••••••••••••

"She will have some explaining to do tonight." Mika said as she growled, glaring daggers into her retreating sister's back as she left the classroom in a rush. I chuckled as I leaned in, with my index finger I poked her cheek. Soft.

She quickly turned her face around to face me. Surprise. I found myself staring into her eyes suddenly. Gravity? I swore to myself secretly that there was something about this girl. Mystery. I didn't know much about her, yet I couldn't stop thinking about her since day one.

You're always on my thoughts. It was annoying me.

"The hell you looking at?" She snapped at me, as she rose her brow. She glared at me at the same time. Crap! I didn't notice I was staring at her like an idiot! "What's an innocent girl doing here anyway?" I quickly changed the subject, which I hope would proceed to success smoothly.

At my question, her lips quirked up into that of a smirk. "The devil was once an angel. Baby, remember the chaos with the fire alarm two days ago?" She whispered, as I became even more interested in her. The devil was once an angel?

My gut was screaming at me this girl was a girl full of mysteries. Would those mysteries be dangerous? My bet would be; yes. They would. People are like a box full of surprises. It just depends; which surprises?

The ones you'd absolutely adore with your existence or those you'd despise?

In the pit of my stomach was a feeling, something was interesting about this girl. Dangerous? Maybe. "Noo! Shit! That wasn't you!" I snapped upon realisation of the chaos (from a few days ago). Mika laughed gently as she flicked my nose. On her face, she had a small smile.

"Yep, that was me sweetheart. What about you? Why the heck are you here? Where's your mama little boy?" She giggled. I placed a hand on my mouth, as I'd chuckle. I rubbed my hands together as I'd finally answer her question.

"I actually blew up the science lab." I said, with a bit of pride.

"Not bad, but still nothing much." Mika said, rolling her dark-brown eyes playfully. "Are you challenging me?" At my words, her eyes twinkled with something unidentifiable. I couldn't help but let out a laugh of my own.

This girl was fun to hang out with to be honest. "Hmm? I don't know? Maybe?" She sang tauntingly as she turned to face me. She moved closer. "Let's play a game. Who gets more black points by the end of this week wins!"

That's an offer I couldn't allow to slip through my fingers, just saying.

"Very well but..." As I spoke, I moved even closer, our faces now only a few inches apart. "If I win, you're gonna go on a date with me." I sang in return, chuckling at the end. "WHAT?!" Mika exclaimed as her eyes would go wide in shock and surprise.

"What the fuck have you been smoking?!" She snapped at me.

Wow, that sass is WAY too strong! "Scared?" I taunted her again. "N-No... FINE!" She yelled, flustered. "Fine..." I said in reply as I smiled warmly at her, looking into her eyes. She bit her lip again, quickly looking away. With that, I narrowed my eyes at her.

I leaned in, my lips centimeters away from her ear as I whispered, "If you do that again... I will bite it for you. And trust me.. I don't do soft and sloppy. That ain't my thing."

I chuckled, as she froze. I heard the bell ring. I got up and grabbed my backpack. "Later Shorty." I yelled out. "Oh fuck you.." I chuckled at her answer as I called out, "When and where Princess? When and wheeere?" And with that, I left.

••••••••••••••••••••

Mika walked up to me, her cheeks red as her hands would be tightly around the strap of her bag. I chuckled, asking her, "What happened to you?"

"What!" She snapped at me, glaring daggers at me. "Tomato!" I sang teasingly.

"Oh fuck off... Why the heck did you leave me alone like that?! Where the fuck did you go off to anyway?!" She yelled. I don't blame 'er. "Um... I had something to take care of? Anyway. Let's go!" I said, quickly trying to change the subject. It didn't exactly work.

"You're sooo hiding something.." She said.

"Maybe." I chuckled.

••••••••••••••••••••

As my sister Catty walked in front of me, I couldn't help but glare at her! She l-left me with J-Jason! Alone! I wonder how I had managed to survive that long with him in one room! I sighed softly, thinking. I don't know why but his blue eyes seemed familiar...

Wait! I slapped myself as realization struck me.

He's the guy from the club a few days ago! The guy who's eyes I stared into!

Those crystal clear blue eyes...
