Chapter 7: You're A What!?

"Come on Sienna, why are you acting so strange?" Paige asked exasperatedly.

The secret ninja shook her head. "I'm perfectly fine, I'm just tired that's all."

"You're tired everyday but you don't usually act like this," the dark haired girl retorted. "Do you have a crush or something?"

Sienna nearly dropped her big purple binder. "N-No! Are you crazy!? Me, have a crush on someone!? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Whatever you say," her best friend muttered sarcastically.

"Shut the hell up, I DON'T have a crush on ANYONE!" the hazel-eyed girl said sternly.

Sienna was much taller than her Italian friend, there was about a five inch difference. Paige was also a little, well... chubbier than her. Although it wasn't by much it still left a small bump that was visible through tight clothes, which the chocolate-eyed girl avoided most of the time. They were on their way to fifth period, but since they didn't have the same class Sienna just walked her friend to the stairs then headed off to her own classroom. She took her seat at her desk which was behind her friends Danielle and Winston.

"Hi," Sienna greeted them cheerily.

"Hey Sienna," Winston responded. "Oh, and you're watching a video in health today."

The yellow ninja groaned, god she hated health. "Wonderful..."

Math was excruciatingly slow, though the whole time she conversed with the people sitting in front of her. Once fifth period ended Winston and Sienna walked to the stairs where the latter had dropped off her friend forty-five minutes ago.

"That math test was hard," Winston stated, pushing his chestnut colored hair out of his face.

"It wasn't that difficult, but I think I need to get some more sleep. I just couldn't focus," the thin girl complained.

"I could tell because you kept saying really random things. You're actually really funny when you're tired," he reflected on the previous period.

"I don't try to-" Sienna stopped talking, surprised by what she was seeing. Actually, surprised was an understatement.

At that moment the last person she expected to see was walking towards her.

"L-Lloyd!?" she exclaimed.

She was glad he was at least dressed in something normal: a plain green T-shirt, jeans, and black tennis shoes.

"Hey Sienna," the green ninja greeted calmly.

Sienna's face turned bright pink. "What are you doing here?!"

"I just wanted to check on you, considering what happened yesterday," he gave Winston a quick but effective glare. (A/N: Ooh killem! Sorry, had to put that, lol.)

"That's really nice and all but you really should leave now, like now," the ninja of wind put emphasis on the last word.

"I gotta go Sienna, bye," the brown haired boy said awkwardly.

"Bye," she waved to him as he quickly left.

Lloyd scowled. "Who is he anyways?"

"A friend of mine. Why do you care?" the female brunette inquired curtly.

"No reason..." he mumbled.

"Well please try to be nicer to my friends, I happen to like them. And I'd also like it if you didn't glare at Winston, Paige does that too because she knows he likes me. I know he likes me but..." the yellow ninja trailed off, lost in thought. Lloyd's reaction was just like what Paige did whenever she saw him... Sienna gasped in realization. "Oh my god... You're jealous, aren't you?"

"N-No! Why would I be jealous?" the blonde boy replied incredulously.

Just then Paige, who had watched the whole thing, went over to them.

"Hey Sienna," she greeted, giving the boy a glare not unlike the one he'd given Winston moments ago.

Sienna rolled her eyes, noticing her best friend's glare. "Not again. Really Paige?"

"I'm very protective!" the Italian girl exclaimed.

"Forget you guys. You can glare at anyone you want but I'm going to reading."

With that Sienna marched off toward her next class.

"I don't let anyone hurt my friends, especially boys," Paige directed this at Lloyd before following her friend to their next period.

The green ninja stood in the middle of the crowd with a slightly confused expression. Why was Sienna so upset? Was she upset with him or with her friend? He shrugged then strolled briskly back to the swirling blue portal concealed in the school's field. Maybe when she comes over later I can ask her some of these questions, Lloyd thought. Though part of him didn't really want to know the answers...


"I don't want you to talk to that blonde kid, whatever his name is," Paige stated as she and Sienna sat in reading class.

"His name is Lloyd, and I don't have a choice. I have to talk to him even if I didn't want to," the latter responded, scribbling down a few words on her paper.

"Why?" her friend asked.

"Because I have to."

"Why?"

Sienna nearly snapped her pencil in frustration. "Because it's important okay!?"

Everyone in the room stared at the light brown haired girl. She sunk down in her seat, it was hard to keep her cool under so much pressure. Being a ninja with a whole other life to live was a lot to handle, especially when you're in middle school. The guys don't ever have to worry about school, the yellow ninja thought with a sigh.

"Sienna, a-are you alright?" Paige inquired politely.

"I'm sorry, I've just been going through a lot lately," the Floridian girl apologized.

"Like what?" the chocolate-eyed twelve-year-old questioned lightly.

"I'll tell you later," Sienna sighed.

And she did. When the two girls were headed to their seventh period class (which was the dreaded health class) the taller girl pulled her friend into the girls' bathroom.

"Sienna what the hell? We're gonna be late!" Paige exclaimed.

"Listen, I have something very important to tell you," Sienna whispered quickly. She waited until she had her friend's full attention before continuing. "Look, I know I'm going to sound possibly psychotic but you have to believe me. A few nights ago five boys came up to me and told me that I'm a ninja, and they're right. I can hardly do it, but I can control wind if I really focus. Now I spend all of my free time going to a world called Ninjago to train to fight for the future of their world. That boy Lloyd, he's a ninja too. He's actually really important in Ninjago, they depend on him for the decision of their fate. Did you get all of that?"

The darker haired girl stared up at her, eyes wide with shock. "Seriously?"

"Seriously," the ninja of wind confirmed. "But you can't tell anyone, not even your family."

She felt slightly better after finally confiding in someone, maybe this whole "two lives" thing would work out just fine.

"Okay," Paige responded, still in shock.

They continued walking to their classroom in silence, one wondering how someone finds out they're a ninja, the other thinking about her encounter with a certain boy earlier that afternoon. Things just became a lot more complicated.


A/N: Omg I'm actually alive! I am so so SO sorry for not updating, I had a huge writer's block and I felt like this story was kinda boring so I didn't want to type. But I thought that was unfair to all of my lovely reviewers and supporters, so I'm back!

I promise I'm not giving up on this story, I'm just going to be updating it less frequently than I used to.
