Chapter 7

Keyley went with Trevor and Penny to the airport. He kissed her forehead and said she and Cornell must come home as soon he's better. And penny wanted to kiss her too, but Keyley turned her head away from her. Penny looked at him and then she kissed her check anyway and set off. Trevor smirked to an astonished Keyley and left. She turned her back on them and left as well.

On the plane

'Really nice sister you have.'

'I know. She can be nice.'

'I don't think she CAN be nice. I think she IS nice, but doesn't want to show it.'

'Well, I don't know...'Trevor slowly began.

'What do you mean?'

'She had a different youth than me and you, I think. She is brought up somewhere in Germany. That's all she told me. But I think she wasn't treated very well.'

'And your point is?'

'My point is, that what happened there, affected her. Maybe she lost confidence in people after an awful experience or she was treated that badly that she isolated herself from people and ignored them, even when they were with her. And maybe she never experienced love.'

'Nice theory. I agree with you that she isolates herself and ignores people. But what made her like this...we may never know.'

'Yeah. She won't tell us. I think she just needs someone who loves her for who she is and treat her well. Or else she'll treat them bad. I can see it now: her boyfriend calls me because she broke his teeth. But she'll be fine. So let's concentrate on something else.'

'Like what?'

'Peace and quiet.'

'What do you mean by that? You're happy you got rid of them?'

'No, but I need some things...I need rest. I want to sleep, OK.' He was annoyed.

Penny smiled and said: 'You know, I think you're worried about her and Cornell.'

'OK, you're right. Let's just talk about something else or sleep, please.'

'OK. Then I'm going to sleep. We wont be in Russia for 2 hours.'


In the hospital

'I'm feeling a lot better.'

'Hn.'

'What's wrong with you? Are you hungry?'

'No.'

'Then what is it?'

'Nothing.'

'OK.'

The nurse came in to bring Cornell and Keyley a sandwich and a cup of thea. They both said thank you.

After she left there was a silence between them. Keyley lookeed at Cornell and said: You must get better. I think you need to sleep and rest a lot.'

'Why thank you, doctor Keyley. How thoughtful of you.'

'Hn.'

'You know what else they said to me?'

'Spit it out.'

'They said I need plastic surgery. For boob implantions. And that if I ever came near them, they would fuck my arse with a cucumber.' He said sadly.

'Like they can do it now. Let them talk all they want. I'll teach you moves so in the future, you can beat them yourself.'

'Really? That's very sweet of you.'

'Whatever. When you're out of this hospital, you start to train with me. And no complaning. Understand?'

'Yes, my lady. I completly understand.'

After 4 days Cornell came out of the hospital. He looked good and healthy. So next morning they started training. First, she woke him up at 6 AM. He turned around, determined to sleep. Then he felt something cold an wet on himself.

'What the Fuck!!'

'Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. Time To train.'

'Ow, yeah, right.'

She was already dressed: short pants and a tanktop. He changed quick: short pants and a T-shirt. They went outside without eating breakfast.

They ran an hour and then returned to the hotel. Cornell was out of breath and happy when he stepped in his shower.

Ow, God. What an disaster. I forgot she has a strict schedule. Being a spie must not be easy. Ow well, I'm glad I'm not one. I must not forget to ask her when she'll learn me some tegniques to beat bullies.

He finished and put his clothes on. He went to Keyleys room to find her coming out.

'Hey, Kel, let's go and have some breakfast.'

'Hn.'

They went downstairs and ordered breakfast.

After rbeakfast they started to pack their things for their journey back home. Cornell finished and went to her room. She was leaning on her balcony, staring at nothing.

He sat on her bed and looked around: everything was packed. Suddenly she sat next to him.

'Well, I'm better, so we can go.'

'Hn.'

'Hey, by the way, when are you going to teach me how to punch?'

'When you're ready.'

'I'm ready.'

'No, you're not.'

'What do you mean?'

'You must train very hard. You must be in good shape. That's why you're have to run your legs underneath your ass. Tommorrow we also start push ups. When you're in shape, we'll start lifting weights. And then I'm going to learn you how to punch and kick. Understand?'

'Yes, Miss.'

'Any questions?'

'No, Miss.'

'OK. Let's go the the airport.'

On the airport

'You're ID, please.'

'Here you go,' said Cornell.

'OK. You may pass.'

'Thank you.'

Then it was Keyleys turn.

'DAMN. You can't pass.'

'Excuse me?'

'You're so hot. You must be illegal.'

'Hn.'

'...'

'I want to go home. Could you stop drooling on my passport and can you finish quickly. I don't have time for this and the plane either.'

He gave her passport and she and Cornell stepped into the plane. Cornell was still sniggering when they sat in their chair.

'What?'

'Nothing. It's just a bit funny. He thought he could have you.'

'And?'

'Well, normal girls fall for this kind of rubbish.' Then it struck to him what he had said and turned to look at her. There was no expression on her face.

'You mean desperate slutty girls.'

'Yeah. But seperate the slutty and desperate.'

'Hn.'

'You know, I hope Trevor filmed everything. I mean I wanted to be there and see them play. Especially Kai.'

'Yeah. And now we're on the subject. Are you in love with him?'

'What? No. I think he's gorgous, though. But he isn't gay.'

'Hn.'

'He seems to have a crush on you.'

'I know.'

'So? What are you waiting for? Ask him out or something.'

'No, he said he'll call me.'

Cornells jaw dropped. 'What?'Explain.'

'He's my boyfriend.'

'Since when?'

'Since that stupid picnic.'

'Buy how...I can't believe it. How did this happen?'

'I'll tell you, but I don't want everyone to know we're together. No one, not even my brother. Understand?'

'I promise.'

She hasn't told him everything of course. But enough to understand.

'Wauw. So that's why he was almost late for the train. That's so cool. You finally have a boyfriend. What a news.' Suddenly he looked a bit sad. 'I'm sorry you missed his game.'

'Don't feel guilty. You're my friend. Naturally you come first and he second.' Cornell almost cried. She never said I was her friend, he thought.

She smiled and closed her eyes to take a nap. Cornell followed her example.


Wow, Keyleys past, will it be revealed?

And what about that spie-thing? She actually is a spie?

And when'll Kai show up?

Please review.
