Nice long update...so long it should be considered two updates...lol
Chpt 10
Kawee smiled happily to himself as he chowed through his lunch and tracked Narin in the cafeteria. His plan was going smoothly. Narin wasn't afraid of him, she was even eagerly going to his room to clean and he knew she was disappointed when he wasn't there. Whenever they made eye contact at school, it took her several moments to look away and there wasn't any distaste in her eyes...just a slow, swirling dark heat. Ah, those modest thai girls, you just need to get them started, smirked Kawee.
Meanwhile, another pair of eyes were obsessively watching Kawee. Leela thought that Kawee was smiling at her story and was briefly happy until she followed his line of vision over to Narin's table. Damn, that little bitch, snarled Leela, she was NOT going to take Kawee away. Just then, Tom was passing by with his drink from the vending machine and Leela took the chance to stick her foot out. Down went Tom and the whole table of hi-so kids started laughing. While Tom's outward appearance had changed drastically, he was still as timid and scarred inside as ever. He cowered in fear and slowly started to get up. Leela stood up and put her foot on Tom's hand.
"Wipe my feet, rat boy", she smirked, "you spilled soda on me". Tom's eyes widened in shock and he searched frantically for help in the crowd surrounding them. This was going too far, thought Kawee and slowly stretched his regal body out to stop the charade. But even before he could, an angry hand descended to pull Leela's foot off Tom so angrily that Leela tumbled to the ground.
"Get up, Tom", Narin whispered angrily as she helped Tom up.
"You are such a bitch Leela!", snarled Narin, "Its like your parents let you run with a pack of wild dogs".
Leela snapped up from her place on the floor. "What the hell are you doing", she sputtered in shock.
"Just helping Tom from getting attacked by a stray dog. I swear, you keep this up and I'm reporting you to Animal Control for rabid behavior", Narin replied as she turned to leave.
Leela was incensed and grabbed Narin by the hair. Narin tried to fight back but Leela had played dirty by picking on her when Narin's back was turned. To everyone's surprise, it was Tom who spoke up. "Please leave Narin alone", he whispered. His voice shook but it was the first time he had ever stood up, for anything or anyone.
"Or what, rat boy", Leela shouted. Tom placed his large hand over Leela's and easily took it away from Narin's head. While he was gentle, Leela took the chance to scream like he was really abusing her.
"OW, OW...stop. You'll break my hand", screamed Leela. Tom's eyes widened in shock. Meanwhile, Kawee had stood in the background getting increasingly infuriated. Who the hell was this long-haired freak and why was Narin always standing up for him? Did she really like him that much? Kawee stepped forward and wretched Tom's hand off Leela's. Then he punched Tom square in the face.
"You shouldn't hurt girls", Kawee lectured serenely. Tom stared even more shocked from the ground. Kawee motioned to pick up Tom for another punch when he was blocked by Narin heaving herself into the middle.
"You big bully! Leave him alone", Narin screamed.
"What? Now he has girls fighting his battles", Kawee smirked.
"Better than you...you're just a pampered little rich jerk. You didn't earn anything in your life...not your money, your prestige, anyone's respect...not even good grades. Really, you're just a piece of trash", snarled Narin back.
"Really, just a piece of trash, huh? You really seemed to like this piece of trash when you gave me a massage. Couldn't keep your hands away, could you?", Kawee replied angrily.
Narin blushed and remained speechless. It only made her look guilty and whispers flew throughout the cafeteria. In minutes, rumors would be flying all over the school and probably only a worsened version of what really happened.
"Hey, pretty boy! did you even get a massage?", Kawee taunted Tom, "I guess a massage would be like second base. are you even on the playing field?".
Tom's head just bowed. I guess it was too good to be true, he thought.
Narin couldn't bare any of it - not Tom's disappointment, Kawee's gloating, all the whispers. She suddenly pulled Tom off the ground, grabbed his collar and pulled him down for a kiss on the lips. She was so infuriated that she gently tilted Tom's head to the side and softly licked his lips - asking for entrance into his mouth which he provided in shock. She only briefly tongue kissed him since Tom's tongue was much too shy to play. Satisfied she turned around to her shocked audience and smiled.
"That definitely counts as second base. We'll continue the rest in private but be assured, Tom is def. in the game and we're looking at getting to all the bases", smiled Narin before pulling a shocked Tom behind her.
