A Smoothie Surprise

Monday had come around and Kari was starting school today. All day, no one but TK and his friends would talk to her. At lunch, TK and Davis had basketball practice and had to miss lunch. Kari was sitting alone, occasionally getting the awkward stare from students passing by. To Kari’s surprise, a girl with long blonde hair sat down on the other side of the table.

Girl: “Hi.”

Kari: “Hi. Sorry, am I in your seat?”

Girl: “Oh no, it’s fine. I’m Kendra by the way.”

Kari: “Nice to meet you, I’m Kari.”

Kendra: “So Kari, why are you sitting here alone?”

Kari: “Well, I just moved here and my only real friend here is TK.”

Kendra: “You know TK?”

Kari: “Yeah, he’s like my best friend. We used to live in Japan together when we were 8. Why?”

Kendra: “Because I live right down the road from him. He’s one of my best friends too.”

Kari: “Cool.”

The rest of the day, Kari and Kendra found out they shared the last of the classes together. They ended up being lab partners, volley ball teammates, and even walked home talking to eachother. This was where TK had finally met up with them.

TK: “Hey Kari, sorry for skipping lunch with you on your first day.”

Kari: “It’s allright. I actually had a nice time with Kendra.”

Kendra: “Yeah, you never told me Kari moved here. And she’s as beautiful as you said she was.”

Both TK and Kari looked at Kendra wide eyed in surprise, then Kari turned to TK.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “You think I’m beautiful.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “What…I never said that…I mean, it’s not that you arent…wait…I mean…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Chill guys, I was just joking.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">The three continued walking when Kendra came up to the point where they took separate paths.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Well, see you later.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Yeah, how about we all meet at the Smoothie Shack. I’ll see if Yolie and Davis can come too.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Sure, sounds great.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Ok, I’ll see you around fiveish.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Sure.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra begins walking to her house wile TK & Kari head to the appartment building.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">At Yolie’s house, she was sitting at her mirror fixing her makeup. The phone rang witch surprised her and cause lipstick to go all across her face.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “UGH! WHO COULD CALL AT A TIME LIKE…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">She looks at her cell to see it was TK. She quickly calmed down and picked up the phone.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Hello?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Hey Yolie, I was just heading to the Smoothie Shack, wanna…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “YES! I mean, sure thing TK.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Great, see ya in a few.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “All right.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">She put down the phone and looked into the mirror.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">At the Smoothie Shack, Yolie was walking up to the door. She was wearing a tun of makeup and high heels. When she walked in, her heart sank to see TK was sitting with Kendra, Davis, and especially Kari.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Davis: “Hey Yolie, what happened to your face?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Shut up Davis!!!!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra (holding back a laugh): “Yeah, I’m sure she’s just practicing for being a circus clown.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">All four began laughing while Yolie began wiping the makeup off her face and sat next to Davis.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “So Kari, how was it like in Japan?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Well, nothing really special. Just a lot of hurricanes and earthquakes.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">All but TK stared at her.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Davis: “What do you consider special, Godzilla?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “No, just an alien abduction.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">This time even TK looked at Kari confused.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “It was a joke.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Davis: “Yeah, you’ll need to work on those.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “I’ll be right back, I need to take care of something.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “I’ll join you, I could use some air.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">The two got up and walked outside. Davis got up and walked to the bathroom leaving Yolie and Kari alone at the table.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Leave him alone!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Excuse me?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Don’t play dumb with me, I know what you’re up to.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Well, can you enlighten me on what you think I’m doing other then drinking a smoothie.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “I know you’re trying to steel TK from me!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari choked on her smoothie at Yolie’s statement.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “What? Yolie, TK and I are just friends.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Oh please, it’s obviouse you’re in love with him.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “I am not.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Fine then, prove it!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “What do you meen?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Go out there and ask TK if he’s in love with you!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Yolie, are you crazy. He’s gunna think I’m in love with him!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Well aren’t you!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari stared annoyed at her.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Fine! I’ll go and ask TK, but you’re coming with me.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">The two got up and walked outside.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “TK I need to ask you…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari froze in her position at what she and Yolie had been looking at. TK and Kendra were making out by the side of the resteraunt. They broke the kiss when Yolie and Kari walked out.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “What the heck!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “What’s wrong?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Why the heck are you making out with that thing!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Hey!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “What’s the problem with kissing my girlfriend?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Girlfriend?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Wait, you didn’t tell them yet?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Me, you’re the one who’s suddenly best friends with her?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Um hello? I’m still here.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Look guys, we’re sorry you had to find out like this.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “Oh, you better be!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Yolie!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “What?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Um, I gotta go.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari turns around and runs away. TK and Kendra look at eachother worridly.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “What a baby………Hello!......UGH!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie storms of in a jelouse rage.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “You think we should go talk to her.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “You take care of Yolie, I’m gonna go see Kari.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Allright.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">She kissed TK and ran the direction Yolie headed off to. TK began walking to his appartment. When he got to the Kamiyah’s door he stopped. When he knocked, Mrs. Kamiyah had answered.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Hi, is Kari home?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Mrs. Kamiyah: “Yeah, she’s in her room. Come on in.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK did as instructed and Mrs. Kamiyah went to Kari’s door.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Mrs. Kamiyah: “Kari, you have a visitor.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Mrs. Kamiyah walked away and Kari slowly opened the door.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Hi.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Hi.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “You ok?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Yeah.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari walked over to her bed and TK followed her.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Look, I’m sorry neither of us told you about this. You’re not mad, are you?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “No it’s just; it felt like you didn’t care enough to tell me. Or you didn’t trust me.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Kari, you’ve been my best friend for 7 years now. If I didn’t trust or care about you, don’t you think you’d know by now.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari looked at him and smiled. The two shared a reassuring hug.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Thanks TK.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “No problem. You wanna go try to finish the whole smoothie shack thing.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Sure.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">The two got up and walked out. When they exited the appartment building, they stopped to wait for the traffic to pass.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “So, if you’re here. Where’s Kendra.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “She’s trying to explain the whole thing to Yolie, I wonder how their doing.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">They turn to see Kendra and Yolie walking twards them with bruises and ripped clothing.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “I’m guessing not well.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “What the heck happened to you?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Yolie: “It’s a long story, I’m just gunna go home.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kendra: “Yeah, I gotta go to. Bye.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Well, there goes the Smoothie Shack.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “I guess we should head back.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">TK: “Yeah.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 193.65pt">Kari: “Well, see you tomorrow.”
