Chapter 2

RING RING!

Kaiya reached out by instinct, grabbed the nearest thing, and hauled it across the room thinking it was her alarm clock when she heard a loud smash. She shot up and saw on the ground pieces of glass and groaned – she threw a vase.

(Ugh, what’s tha….oh the phone. Duh Kai.)

The young girl stood from the couch and yelped, rubbing her sore back m she remembered that she had Mark in her room and quickly picked up the phone. She was in a grouchy mood, thinking it was her “so called” friends. However, she had the shock of her life when it was actually the principal of the university. He just had a very interesting talk with a certain Louis Walsh. The name rang a few bells, but being the dope she was in mornings, it took her awhile to realise that it was Westlife’s manager. She groaned and hanged up. She had to go and explain herself to the principal in his office.

It wasn’t until later, Mark felt himself being shaken out of his sleep repeatingly. He groaned and told the person to wait five more minutes. He had a blinding headache. His eyes shot open because he hadn’t expected a female voice talking to you.

“I aint Anto. Get up.”

Holy crap! Mark sat upright, not realising the figure was leaning over him. He swore out loud in pain, hearing a loud thump and a pained yell. He had banged his forehead with the girl’s. They groaned as they rubbed their foreheads. Mark frowned trying to remember the last thing he had remembered. He suddenly saw a hand waving in front of his face. He blinked repeatingly.

Kai was sore all over. She had a sore back and now a sore head. She sighed to herself and walked into the kitchen and poured Mark a glass of water and made her way over to him but not before getting aspirin from the bathroom. After taking the tablets, Mark asked her if they did something bad last night to cause him to be in a stranger’s place. He vaguely remembered a soothing voice calming him as he felt a wet cloth on his forehead before falling asleep. He could only remember bits and pieces. He felt a bit of an eejit after the girl explained although he had frowned when he heard that Louis was blaming her. He groaned when she informed him that Louis was on his way over. In addition, he wasn’t happy. Mark sighed as he went into the bathroom to relieve himself after being given the tour.

They were stood in the middle of the room arguing. They were exchanging rude comments. One was arguing while the other was defending. No, it wasn’t Louis and Mark arguing, neither was it Kai and Louis. It was in fact Kai and Mark – arguing who was going to cook breakfast. In the end Mark won and smiled smugly at her before starting the breakfast. He was amused when Kai started panicking, looking for her books that she needed for her classes, which started in around an hour, or so. She dumped them onto the table, Mark sneaked a look, and let out a chuckle after a minute.

Kai looked to what he was looking at and blushed out of embarrassment because on the front of her notebook was Mark’s name all over it. Hr found out that she was a fan oh his band. She stammered trying to tell him that it was a different person. Yeah like anyone would believe that likely story. He was just finishing the breakfast when Kai came back into the kitchen after getting changed. She looked beautiful to him. She was wearing a short black skirt, a white top. She had on black and white stockings. It wasn’t what grabbed his attention – it was her make up.

Kai laughed at Mark’s face. She had on black eyeshadow, black eyeliner and she grinned. At uni, everyone was to wear black skirts/trousers and white tops to look smart. She didn’t agree with the rules so she was making a fashion statement. Well, she certainly was doing that since she put in fake blue streaks in her hair. She looked grungy, Mark made her sit down and handed her the pancakes he had just made.

“Oh god, this tastes so good!”

Mark’s body reacted to Kai’s moan and coughed as an interesting thought appeared in his mind. He shifted his position and watched as Kai finished the pancakes in less than a minute. He learned that pancakes were her favourite/ There was a knock on the door and Mark answered. It was Lousis, he felt himself being pushed aside as Lousis entered. He took a deep breath before turning around to face his manager.
