Chapter 49 Punishmen (2/2)
”Oh come on, Ali!” protested Kyle, ”She's faking it! There are no tears even!”
Xing Han scoffed, ”Still denying it, I see.” He gingerly took Kay's hand, and led her to sit down on the bench as well - but farther away from Kyle. Kay was dabbing her eyes with her handkerchief, looking down aggrieved.
Xing Han, Ali, and Sam looked at each other. As if on cue, they nodded. Kyle had a bad feeling about this. He quickly tried to get up but Ali was faster. He put his hands on both of Kyle's shoulders, preventing him from getting up. Kyle kicked out, tripping Ali. Just as Ali stumbled, Kyle shot up but was quickly tackled by Xing Han.
Kyle fell to the side, and Xing Han quickly sat on Kyle's back. He then leaned over and grabbed both of Kyle's legs. Sam also promptly jumped onto Kyle, and the sudden weight on his back made Kyle ”ooomph” out. Sam grabbed both of Kyle's arms and twisted them around his back.
No matter how hard Kyle struggled, he couldn't get the two guys off his back. He could hear Ali's maniacal laughter getting closer, and Kyle said desperately, ”Ali ... don't you dare.”
Ali came close, leaned down and put his face right next to Kyle's as he said, ”You made our Angel cry, Kyle. You must be punished.”
”I did not, damn it!”
Ali tsked and patted Kyle's head. He got up and walked over to Kyle's legs.
”So long as our Angel sheds a tear, that person gets punished,” Sam said stoically.
Kay watched this entire scene with a smile hidden behind her handkerchief. Serves Kyle right for not telling her what he had planned for Principal Dobbins. He had known everything and had the counter measures, but he did not tell her about it! She had been so worried, and so angry at the horrible things she said at her brother.
The anger she felt then was akin to the anger she felt now. Kyle was too much. How dare he hide this from her? So, he had to be taught a lesson. Of course, why dirty her hands when she had her knights who would do it for her? All that was needed was just perfect timing, sad face, and tears.
”ALI! NO!” Kyle shouted, ”DON'T YOU DARE!” He twisted his head and could see where Ali was heading, fear gripping his heart.
Ali just snickered, walked over and grabbed Kyle's shoe. He took it off, then his face had a slight grimace as he said to Kyle, ”Man, Kyle. When was the last time you washed your socks? Ew”
Kyle was trying hard to kick Ali, but Xing Han went to sit on his legs. At that moment, Kyle regretted deeply not forcing Xing Han to continue the exercise regime he had been under during the school holidays. It had only been two days, but just those two days of gorging all his favourite food had made all the weight he lost, return.
This dude was heavy. It normally does not take a lot of effort to lift up your leg when in a lying position, but if you had a rock like Xing Han sitting right on his calf ... it was near impossible to do so. Kyle still tried, however, but hardly managed to move even an inch.
Ali slowly took off Kyle's socks with the tip of his fingers and threw it aside in disdain. Then, grabbing a tuft of grass in his fist, he pulled. Several blades of soft carpet grass were now in his hands. Ah, this park is perfect. They had carpet grass, which was so much better for what he needed to do.
Grabbing Kyle's ankle, and gripping it tightly, he moved the blades of grass slowly and lightly over the sole of Kyle's feet.
” Ga-aaaa ... HAHAHAHAHA .... STOP ... HAHAHAHA ... AHHHHH ... HAHAHAHAHA”
Kyle couldn't even lift up his head anymore, all manner of strength leaving him. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. Kyle has a weakness. He is very, very ticklish right at the soles of his feet. You can try any other part of his body - his waist, or even his armpits - and he is completely unaffected. His feet, however, was a different story. Just a small brush and he becomes mush.
”So someone made our Angel cry,” ... swish went the blades of grass.
”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
”And he won't admit it”.... swish it went again
”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
”Looks like someone has been a bad, bad boy,” swish swish swish
After 10 minutes of this torture, they finally let him go. Kyle was now out of breath and his face streaked with tears. He turned and lay on his back, putting an arm over his eyes, and another was clutching his stomach, ”Y-you ... *gasp* ... guys ... are ... so ... cruel”
His abdominal muscles hurt so much right now. Though he did exercises to tone his abs, laughing also gives an internal workout through exercising the diaphragm, contracting the abs. However, unlike when he exercises, he didn't warm up and he couldn't pace himself. Laughing excessively like this meant continuous exercise which he had no control over and his muscles were pushed to the limit.
Kay walked over, sat down next to Kyle who was breathing heavily and patted his stomach hard. Kyle's face twisted in pain, but he didn't say anything. Kay looked up at her three knights and said with a bright smile, ”Thank you. I feel so much better now.”
[Don't do that again, Kyle] said Kay, her voice tinged with real sadness this time, [I was really hurt]
Kyle uncovered his eyes and took her hand in his. He pulled it lightly, and she turned to face him. He looked at her straight in the eyes and said, ”I'm sorry, Kay. I won't do it again”
Kay sniffed and bent down to hug Kyle.
”Our work is done,” said Ali proudly, then looked at his hands in disdain, ”Now I need to wash my hands. Kyle's socks really stink.”
