Opposites Attract
TLC…Torture, Love & so Close
Chapter 1:
The Bladebreakers were on their way to a city in North Japan. Mr. Dickinson had asked them to go stay up there for a while before the next championships otherwise they would be bombarded with press and unwanted pressure and attention. At first they all agreed to go, each wanting a break from the fangirls and the press asking questions about the battle against Brooklyn and co., but that was before they found out they were going to stay there four months before the tournament was even going to start. None of them knew why they had to go so early and they were a bit apprehensive about going but in the end, Tyson, Max, Ray and even Kai were persuaded into going, the main reason being four months without Hilary who couldn't go because of some exams. So hence the five hour drive they were on now, each rather pissed about the long journey and being woken up by the bumpy road every half hour.
"I can't believe the Chief isn't coming. He was so set before" Tyson said to break silence.
"Yeah, it was a bit weird but hey, I'm sure he's havin' fun without us." Max said reassuringly turning to face the world champ sitting next to him.
"Yeah, and I think we'll have more fun without him" Max and Tyson turned behind them to look at Ray with shock written all over their faces. Noticing their reactions, Ray felt obliged to explain himself. "Oh come on guys, he is a bit of drag. He'd make us go to bed early, we couldn't watch scary movies and he'd be constantly tapping on that damn computer of his."
"You have a point there Ray" Tyson said quietly before turning to face the front again ready to fall back into the silence. Max glanced at Kai who was staring rather thoughtfully out the window trying to escape the car. He noticed how unrelaxed Kai and Ray were compared to him and Tyson. He and Tyson were happily sitting next to each other not really bothered by the closeness whereas Kai and Ray were leaning as far away from each other as they possibly could.
With a last glance at Kai and a small sigh, Max decided to follow his crush's example and lean against the window and lose himself in the scenery zooming past.
