Chapter 9-singing and doing maths

Home was quiet,as usual.Her mother was in the kitchen,her favourite room in their house,making buns.

"You are late,sweethart,where have you been?"

Destiney took one of the buns lying on the desk,cooling down."I have been hanging out with the boys",she said while chewing.Her mother stroke her hair.

"Did you have fun then?"She nodded her head and licked the sugar off her fingers."And eat properly,my dear".She looked at her daughter.

"And why cant you ever wear skirts and dresses like other girls at your age?"she sighed.Destiney finished her food.

"Because I dont want to...Mom,is Nate in?"Her mother shook her head and started to make the icing.

"No,he is with some guys he has been playing football with".

She managed to sneak some of the buns into her pocket before leaving the kitchen and heading for her room.Recently she had gotten her computer back at her desk,and she spent the rest of the evening chatting on the net.When she decided to go to bed,she told her parents goodnight and went to the bathroom.

Kai was lying on his bed,wearing only his pyjama-pants,his hands behind his head.Far away he could hear his sister play music.His mind wandered off,and he found himself thinking off earlier that day.The brat had actually tripped into his lap,and somehow manged to get stuck.And when the chair fell over.....He had found himself enjoying it,enjoying to have her sprawled across his chest,enjoyed that she stared into his eyes.....
He pushed these thoughts away.He did not like Destiney Raiden!Not at all!she was just an ignorant,mouthy brat anyway!He reached out his arm to turn off the light.

Tomorrow was a Monday,and Mondays meant going to school again.Destiney manged to get trough the day without any trouble,and she rode with Tala and Malisia back home.and as usual,Tala was driving them crazy with his talking.

"Hey,Malis,you should have seen Dizzy yesterday".The bluehaired girl turned her attention towards a blushing Destiney."What happened then?"

Tala giggled,sounding a bit girly."I dont think I have laughed that bad all my life!"His fingers were tapping against the dashboard.

"Dizzy here managed to trip into Kai`s lap and get her hair stuck in one of his buttons.And when she tried to get back up,the chair fell over,and they both ended up on the floor!"

Malisia was laughing too now.

"His chair fell over?"she said in disbelief.Dizzy`s blushing got worse.

"Yup,and they were lying there on the floor".He wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye.

"Your brother actually had to take of his pants so we could get her hair loose".Malisia put a hand on her friend`s shoulder.

"Poor dizzy!I imagine that brother wasn`t to happy about that".The car stopped.

"Well,here is your stop,Dizzy".She picked up her skateboard and left the car without a word.They drove off.

Destiney felt as if she was going to melt away if she didnt put on something lighter soon.She regreted choosing pants instead of shorts today.Luckily,they had airconditioner in the house,and when she opened the door,a cool breeze touched her face.She sighed.Nate was already home,considering the fact that his shoes were sprawled across the floor.She shook her head in vain and put them back on the shelf.Nate had always been like that,leaving his things everywhere,and when he finally needed them he was not able to remember where he had put them.She hurried up to her room to change her clothes before she went downstairs.She could hear music from the garden,so she decided to check it out.

It was no big surprise that it was Nate and his guitar that caused the noise.It appeared that he had wired some cables and moved some of his speakers outside so he could play his guitar quite loud.apparently,he hadnt noticed her coming outside,because he didnt stop playing.Nate was a pretty good guitarist,and he played both el-guitar and bass-guitar.Like always,he was completely lost in the music,and his fingers were touching the strings in a way that made it seem like he was born to play the guitar.

She stood there for a little while,watching her twin-brother before she turned off the speakers.The music stopped,and Nate looked around,confused.He rolled his eyes when he saw her standing there with a cable in her left hand.He put his guitar away and came over to her.

"Why did you do that?"he asked.She smirked.

"Because I want to sing".

He grabbed the cable and put it back where it was supposed to be.

"Go and get your mikey then".

She smiled at him and went back up to her room.

Destiney loved to sing,she always had.She had gotten her first microphone when she turned six,and ever since she had been practicing to get better.She and Aina used to sing at arrangements in public,like school and in contests.After looking around,she found her favourite-mikey in the drawer beside her bed.Nate was sitting on the biggest speaker,waiting for her to come back.She turned on her mikey.

"Are we ready then?"she asked.He picked up his guitar and gave her a thumb up.

"Yup,you just pick a song".She thought it over.

"Let`s take our own song,Tracks,ok?"

He nodded,playing a few tones before he started.She closed her eyes,making ready.Her heart was beating in the same rythm as their music,and she sang.The sad tones were all she could hear,and she was lost to the outside world.

My steps leave tracks in the snow
and my breath turns to white smoke
the wind bites as it blows
sharp needles of ice in my skin
that I yet cant seem to feel

The people in this city sleeps
their eyes closed in the feverish happiness
of a welcome dream

They never face the night
and it`s endless hours
of loneliness and wait
For I am the only one awake
and my steps in the snow
still stand alone

Maybe sometime they will wake up
find me and take me in
but for now,I walk this road alone



Song after song they played,without stopping.

They didnt even notice that Malisia came into the garden and sat down on a chair.Destiney first noticed her friend when she applauded after one of their songs.

"That`s great!"

Destiney put away her mikey and sat down beside her buddy,now dressed in a nice,darkblue skirt and a white shirt with a big,blue ribbon on her chest.It made her look at little cute and childish.

"What are you doing here,Malis?"she asked.Her friend held up a bag.

"Since you said you weren`t doing anything today,I figured that we could do some homework".She looked at Nate.

"You were pretty good.Very good actually".Nate just dismissed it with a wink.

"No,I mean it!"She started to get eager."You could join our band!"

Destiney arched an eyebrow."Your band?"

Malisia nodded.

"Yes,Jade,Aya and myself have our own band,Dazzling Butterflies".

A smile came to her face.

"We could join you?"

Malisia grinned."Well,I would have to ask the others,but I assume it`s ok".

"What do you say,Nate?"Her brother smiled and shrugged."Sure".

Malisia got on her feet and pulled Destiney out of her chair."Come on!"

She grabbed her friend`s bag and tagged along.Considering the fact that it was so hot outside,they decided to sit at the balcony.

"Do you understand the stuff in biology?I don`t",Malisia sighed and shook her head.Destiney got a strange look on her face."Yes,I do.Just look..."She started explaining it to her friend.After a while,Malisia was finally starting to understand.

"It wasn`t so hard after all then",she smiled.Destiney shook her head and went downstairs to get some watermelon and something to drink.

"I`ll be back in a minute". Malisia gave her a thumb up and continued with her homework.When she came back up she discovered that Nathaniel sat beside her friend,and the two looked quite cozy.She smiled to herself.There was definitely something between them,she was sure of it.

"I`m sorry to interrupt your date,doves,but here is the watermelon".They both blushed and looked shy.

"Dizzy,have you seen how good your brother is at drawing?"

Nate shrugged."He helped me with the task we have in artclass".The look she sent him was more than just friendly.Nate decided to leave.

"Well,I better leave you girls alone and do my own homework".He grabbed one of the pieces of watermelon.Malisia sighed.Destiney smirked and slapped her face carefully."Stop dreaming!"

Her friend looed at her,eyes confused.Then she smiled shyly and bit her lip.

"I think you like my brother.And don`t try to deny it!You act like you are an item already!"she laughed.Malisia shrugged and took some melon.

"I won`t deny it.Your brother is totally adorable!"

"I wonder what Tala would say if he found out?"

Malisia frowned.

"My lovelife is my business,not his.Just because he has a crush on me,it doesn`t mean he owns me",she stated.Destiney laughed out.

"Yeah,you`re right".Malisia filled her glass with the cold drink Destiney had brought them.

"Shall we continue?"Destiney finished her piece of watermelon and found her mathbooks.When the day came to an end,the two girls had finished most of their homework.

"Thanks for helping me,Dizzy!You are a true friend!"

Destiney smiled."You`re welcome,buddy".

After Malisia had left,Destiney played a game of cards with her father before she went to bed.She was lying on her bed,unable to sleep.Her thoughts were filling her head,and she took her bedcovers and went to sit on the balcony.She liked it here in California.Well,she did miss London,but not as bad as before.She didn`t want to forget her friends back in London,but her new life had turned out quite well.Malisia was her new bestfriend,and the others were nice too.Well,except from Kai,but she didn`t count him as one of her friends,even if they both were a part of the same gang.He was just a bastard.And Rei.....

For some reason,she felt closer to Rei than she had ever done to a boy before.It wasn`t a romantic feeling though.She already thought of him as one of her bestfriends,and she enjoyed his company.Mariah was lucky to have such a sweet and caring boyfriend.She smiled to herself.They were such a cute couple.She just hoped that her next boyfriend would be just as sweet and caring as him.After a while she fell asleep under the open sky.

Phew!Finally done!I myself think this chapter was quite long,well the longest I`ve ever written anyways.What do you think?Was it nice?The next chapter will be up soon,I`ve nearly finished it.But I`m afraid that will be a short one.....sorry guys....
Well,please rewiew,ok?
