Chapter 56 Sisterhood (1/2)

As Jason walked beside Kay, he was mentally kicking himself. She must think he was a fool, or that he was being so obvious about his interest in her. The layout of the school wasn't complicated at all, so how on Earth could he be lost? All he had to do was turn right and BAM! The building is RIGHT THERE! His Fairy must be thinking that he's crazy. No, a fool. No, a stupid crazy fool. Argh.

Jason didn't realise the myriad of expression that was going on his face. Kay looked in utter fascination as it went pale, then red, then pale and she wondered if it would actually go green like it is described in some novels. It didn't. Still, it was funny to see. She couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips, and Jason turned to face her and he grimaced.

”It's obvious, isn't it?” he asked, ashamed.

Kay looked at him in innocent puzzlement, and asked, ”What's obvious?”

He gestured towards Blossom Wing, and said, ”That I knew where my classroom was but just wanted to talk to you?”

”Oh, that!” giggled Kay again, ”I just thought you were trying to make new friends and that was the first thing that popped in your mind. Isn't it?”

He grinned, feeling relieved. He was worried that his forwardness may scare her off, so he was glad that it wasn't the case. So he just nodded happily.

”I think you're very brave to do so,” Kay said, ”If I was suddenly placed in a new place, a new school and only four others from my own school ... I wouldn't know what to do, really.”

”It's nothing, really!” he said, waving his arms in front of him, ”If you ever came to LaSelle, I'm sure you wouldn't have ANY trouble making new friends!”

”No! That's not true. I'm just ... too shy. I have Sarah and I'm always with my brothers, so I'm not lonely but ... well, it's hard to explain. I'll be so lost,” Kay said, her eyes misting over as she seemed to be thinking of something.

”Don't you worry! If you ever come to LaSelle, you'll have me to help you!” Jason said, his chest puffing up in front.

Kay smiled and hit him on the arm playfully, ”You'll be long gone by then, silly. But I thank you for the thought.” Kay sighed, swinging her arms beside her.

”How about this?” Jason asked, as they reached Blossom Wing, ”I can help you make friends! Why not get to know the other guys in my school that are here? Then you can slowly build up your confidence. It's easy!”

Kay stopped at the entrance, and pursed her lips, before saying, ”I'll have to think about it. You're really sweet to offer, but it sounds so scary.”

”Okay, no problem,” Jason said, not wanting to pressure her and scare her away, ”Thanks for the walk. Hmmmm ...Actually, perhaps I should walk you back to your class?”

”No, it's okay” Kay said quickly. Kyle would be finishing up breakfast right about now, and she didn't want him to see her with Jason. ”You should go into class earlier and get to know your classmates before class starts. Hope you enjoy Sakura Academy.”

Jason nodded, but didn't go in immediately. He stood there, watching her walk away with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but admire the way her hips swayed as she walked. It was like she was gliding rather than walking. After she entered Cherry Wing and he couldn't see her anymore, he walked in and headed to his classroom.

As Kay walked towards Cherry Wing, she was feeling extremely happy and smug. With hardly any effort, she had managed to get one LaSelle boy interested AND there was an open chance for her to get to know the others as well. Kyle thought this was risky? Hah. Since they were born, she had been following whatever he said happily, as he was much older. Not physically, but mentally. So she relied on him and loved his protection. He made everything fun and she loved him so much that whatever he asked, she would do without question.

However, it's different now. It's not like she doesn't love her brother anymore. On the contrary, their bond is unbreakable. It's just that KAy felt that Kyle was still treating her like a little girl. Kyle needs to know that she is all grown up now. She isn't some weak little girl but she is K! Co-leader of MIB! One of the best hackers in the country! She will prove to Kyle that she can do this. Even if it meant going behind his back. It was the only way to open his eyes!

Kay walked resolutely to class, a smile on her face.

**--**--**--

Kay decided to have lunch in the classroom as she didn't want to see Kyle. She had asked Sarah to get some sandwiches for her and was flipping through the homework set for the day. She jumped when she suddenly felt someone behind her, then had put his head on her shoulder.

[Are you still mad at me?]

Kay ignored him, flipping the pages as if there wasn't anyone there.
