/N: Hey everyone! How was your week? Good I hope! Well this is chapter eleven of Ghosts of The Past. I hope it was worth the wait. Thank you to all those who took the time to review. I have said it before and I'll say it again; they really mean a lot to me. I hope you all did well on your exams. God I hate them but really it means two weeks off so that's always good! Thanks for reading.

This week's addition to the playlist is: Right Here by Staind

I know I've been mistaken,
But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face

Why can't you just forgive me
I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting

Give it a listen.


Kostya nipped at the small boy's hair and both Russians started laughing. Bryan carefully picked it up and then tried lightly setting him on Kai's arm. When the small boy didn't flinch or feel any pain because of the small bird they both began heading towards the door leaving the others to follow.

The neko laughed, "There's a lot about Kai we don't know huh?"

"You have no idea."


Tala woke to something rubbing against his face and tried to swat it away. When the rubbing continued a pair of icy blue eyes snapped open only to fall upon a tiny brown and grey duckling.

It took the Russian a moment to remember why exactly the tiny bird was in the house, never mind in his bed.

"Kostya," he murmured to himself as he carefully picked the duck up. It must have somehow managed to slip away from Kai during the night. When he sat up Tala noticed his door slightly ajar although he clearly recalled closing it behind him.

"Hm. Cunning little thing aren't you?" The bird just 'cheeped' in response as it bit playfully at his thumb.

"Well," he grumbled, not entirely sure why he was talking to the creature "Might as well take you down stairs with me."

The red head ran his free hand through his hair and made his way towards the kitchen, 'Coffee,' being his only thought.

---

Kai was bending down looking under the table.

Kostya was gone.

He'd had him for less then a day and already he'd lost the thing. The tiny Russian sighed as he straightened out and peered into the sink. Still no sign of him. 'Damn it,' he thought to himself 'Where the hell would a duckling go?!'

He carefully opened the fridge trying to use just his finger tips as Tala walked in. He soon discovered it was damn near impossible to open a fridge door without using your hands.

"Looking for something," the older Russian asked from behind him.

Kai winced, "No..."

"Are you sure," Tala asked as something was set lightly onto his shoulder. Kai looked over to see Kostya nipping at his hair and looked up at the redhead who was smirking at him, "Try to keep a better eye on him will you? He's a lot smaller than a dog and a hell of a lot easier to lose."

Kai nodded as he leaned against the fridge, wincing as his arm made contact. Tala sighed, "You really should be more careful."

The small boy shot him a look before disappearing through the doorway, "Pfft. Kids."

---

Kai huffed as he stalked off. He didn't need people lecturing him on what to and what not to do. He got that enough at the Abbey.

No one seemed to be up yet except for Tala and him which didn't make for a very interesting morning. The redhead was too sedated before his coffee and there was no fun to be had with a guy who just wanted to crawl back into bed.

The small Russian decided to go upstairs in search of Bryan. He hadn't really gotten a chance to play with the gecko yesterday after the whole incident with Tala's pants. Truthfully the tiny creature looked like a lot of fun.

He'd seen other lizards before but none that could move as fast as this one. Plus, Gecko's (clearly Bryan had no imagination for anything outside of violent ways to kill people) body was covered in cool spots and he wanted a chance to count them all.

If he could find the illusive creature, that is. It was always disappearing somewhere, whether it was in the couch cushions or into someone's shoes. The moron sure got a scare the day before when he had gone to put his shoes on to go outside to put something in the recycling.

Kai hadn't known someone that age could naturally scream that high. But apparently they could as the world champion had so kindly proven. Tyson was still angry with him though.

Sure he hadn't apologized, or even acted like he was sorry; because he wasn't, but shouldn't the guy have been over it by then? So maybe he'd gotten beaten up by a bunch of crazed women and held for questioning for several hours before he had, had to pay his own cab fare to get home.

The idiot had deserved it!

Realizing he'd lost himself in his thoughts Kai found himself standing in front of Bryan's slightly ajar door. The small Russian quietly entered the darkened room. The only light was a small beam the shone through the gap in the curtains.

"Bryan?"

The lump on the bed shifted and settled down again. Kai took a few more steps into the room, "Bryan?"

The figure gave a small cross between a moan and a grunt yet continued to otherwise ignore him, "BRYAN!"

The older Russian shot off the bed and landed on the floor in a crouch looking readying for anything. Bryan blinked for a moment as if finally realizing no one was attacking and set his eyes upon the boy in front of him, "Kai?"

"Have you seen Gecko?"

The older Russian got up from his crouch, "Does it look like I'd know where he is? If you hadn't noticed runt, I was sleeping."

Kai growled, "What was that?"

"You heard me. Runt," Bryan sneered.

"Why don't you shut up lavender head?"

"It's not fucking LAVENDER! It's a pale grey!"

"Yeah sure, keeping telling yourself that."

The older blader stalked forward and hoisted him up by the collar, "Shouldn't go messing with people over twice your size."

"Shouldn't go messing with people with twice your mental capacity."

The two Russians stared each other down until Bryan rolled his eyes and set Kai down, "What the hell do you want this early in the morning?"

"I told you. I want to know if you've seen Gecko."

The fare haired blader glanced around his darkened room, "Last time I saw him he was on the couch downstairs. Haven't seen him since."

Kai sighed, "A lot of help you are."

Bryan ruffled the boy's hair as he yawned before crawling back into his bed, "Shut the door behind you."

---

Ray shook his head at the sight of Tala asleep at the table, a cup of coffee in front of him. Max sat down opposite the redhead wondering if he should wake the Russian.

The neko picked up the now cold mug of coffee and dumped the contents into the sink before refilling it. As he set it down in front of Tala he shook him gently, "Tala wake up. Coffee."

The last word did the trick and the redheaded Russian sat up staring at him with bleary eyes, "Coffee?"

Ray gestured to the mug and Tala quickly grabbed it and took a large gulp.

"How long have you been down here?"

Tala looked over to the clock mounted between the windows, "I guess about two hours. That would explain the kink in my back," he grunted as he stretched. "That duck woke me up so I came down here and handed it off to Kai."

Max looked up, "So Bryan is still in bed?"

Tala shrugged, "I guess. I haven't exactly been looking for him. Hell, it seems like its going to be a bit of a slow day."

Ray chuckled, "What clued you in? The fact that we just got up, that Bryan and Tyson are still in bed, or that Kai is lying on the floor in the living room staring at the ceiling fan?"

Tala looked up, "The ceiling fan?"

The neko nodded, "I asked him what he was going but all he did was point at the fan. He's just been laying there."

The redhead set his mug down as he got up, "What the hell could possibly be so interesting about a ceiling fan that it can entertain a five year old for a good span of time?"

Ray shrugged, "Don't ask me."

Tala rolled his eyes as his eyes as he headed in the direction of the living room.

---

When Tala walked through the living room door he couldn't help but stare. Sure enough, as Ray had said Kai was lying on his back in the center of the room staring up at the ceiling fan with Kostya sitting on his chest, "Kai what exactly are you doing?"

The boy lifted a carefully bandaged arm to point at the fan.

"Yes, I get that you're looking at the fan. But why exactly?"

Kai just continued to point as Tala walked up and lay down next to him, "So you've taken a new interest in fans have you?"

The small Russian shot him a glare before looking back to the fan. It was then that the older blader noticed the Kai seemed to be murmuring to him-self. As he strained his ears Tala realized he was counting. As he continued to watch the spinning fan the redhead realized there was an odd streak of colour against the brown blur of the blades.

"Kai...what's on the fan?"

"Gecko."

"What," he asked as he looked over at they boy lying next to him.

"It's Gecko."

"Why exactly is Gecko on the fan?"

"I don't know."

"A better question is what could have possibly inspired twisted little you to turn the fan on?"

"Well, I wanted to get him down so I turned it on low. But he still stuck to it. So I turned it on high but he's still up there. I'm seeing how long he can stay."

"Huh. How long has he been up there?"

"One hour, forty-five minutes and...twenty one seconds-twenty two, twenty three—

"Yeah I think I get it. Still doesn't it get kind of boring after a while?"

Kai sighed, "I got bored after the first two minutes."

Tala stared, "Then why

The sound of the phone ringing went through the house and Tala frowned. Not very many people called seeing as Kai had an unlisted number and everyone staying with him had cells phones as did he. The only people who called the house a lot were the rest of the Demolition Boys...which meant...

Tala quickly got up from the floor and grabbed the portable phone from the end table. The caller ID read: Home which meant that someone was calling from one of the houses in Russia, "Hello?"

"Tala, I'm surprised you're up this early." It was Spencer.

"I'm not up by choice Spence."

The older Russian chuckled, "Yeah well I thought I'd check up on you all, see how you're doing without Kai there to mother you."

Tala quickly glanced over at the younger Kai who was still staring at the ceiling, "It's like he never left. How are those idiots doing?"

Spencer sighed, "Well Ian met some girl the other day so he keeps disappearing out with her."

"A girl huh? And what's she like?"

"Nice enough I suppose, but I don't think they'll last once we leave. I don't think she could put up with all the coming and going."

Tala nodded to himself, "So how's Kai?"

The younger Kai glanced at him to shoot him an odd look.

Spencer sighed, sending static through the phone, "Well we were stuck at the airport because of some delays for a while. There was a huge storm up here, took us a good while to even get up the drive. But anyway, the man standing next to him had a cold or something."

Tala winced knowing what was coming.

"Needless to say Kai was acting weird for a few days. Kept saying stuff about how he could sense people calling him small or something. Next thing we know he's coughing up a lung and has a fever through the roof. I think its turning into bronchitis."

Tala groaned, "Is he alright?"

"He's back on his puffer for now; you know how the cold air irritates his breathing when he's sick. We've been trying to get him to go see a doctor but he's being stubborn as usual."

The redhead laughed, "He wouldn't be Kai if he wasn't being stubborn."

The blonde chuckled at that, "Yeah I suppose you're right. But, I've been thinking we might head back a bit early so he can be in the more mild weather."

Tala choked on air, "E-Early? But- but why?"

Spencer sounded surprised, "I thought you'd be happy. You wouldn't have to deal with the Bladebreaks alone anymore....what have you done," he asked in an accusing tone.

"W-What? Nothing," Tala protested.

"Yeah, right. What did you break?"

The redhead looked around, "Um...we broke...the...the kitchen."

He could practically see Spencer quirking an eyebrow, "You broke the kitchen," he deadpanned.

"Bryan got out of hand with a flame thrower again."

The older Russian growled, "I thought I got rid of that thing! Don't tell me he went out and got another one?!"

"He must have because the kitchen was ruined. We're having it repaired it should be done before you get back though."

"Yeah well it had better be or Kai's going to kill you all and he doesn't need that stress when he's this sick."

"I know," Tala sighed; relieved his friend had believed him. Although truthfully it was quite a believable story considering, Bryan's pyromaniac tendencies.

"So have you guys been working them to the bone?"

"Huh?"

"Training. Have you been working them hard?"

Tala stopped short. Training. Shit, "Uh, yeah we have. It um, it took some work but Bryan's got Tyson working his ass off."

Spencer laughed, "That's good to hear. Kai keeps stressing about that tournament they have next month."

How the hell was he supposed to get them to train when the training room was in shambles?! "Well you can tell Kai not to worry."

"I'll make sure to tell him once he's up. He's passed out on the couch right now. He's practically been sleeping the days away when his cough isn't keeping him up."

Tala glanced over to Kai to see him fast asleep while Gecko continued to hold onto the fan blades for dear life, "That sucks. But, Spence I've got to go...Bryan isn't feeling to well and you know how he gets when he's sick."

Spencer made a sympathetic sounding 'Hn.', "Well I'll let you go then. Make sure he doesn't break anything."

Tala nodded before realizing that the blonde Russian couldn't see him, "Don't worry everything's fine. I'll see you in a few days."

"Talk to you later," Spencer said before he hung up with a 'click'.

Tala exhaled loudly as he set the phone down and looked over to Kai. It seemed as the sounds of the spinning blades and the soft breeze coming from them had lulled him to sleep.

He looked up to see the streak of colour known as Gecko still holding on.

The Russian sighed as he scooped up Kai, careful not to wake him or hurt Kostya and turned the fan off. As the blades began to slow he could now easily see the small Gecko stuck to one of them. He wasn't sure if he should even attempt to get the thing down. Finally, he decided to just leave it. Bryan could get the thing down once the lazy idiot was up.

After putting Kai back up in his room Tala made his way back to the kitchen to find Ray cooking on the stove while chatting with Max, "Making breakfast?"

Ray laughed, "At this point I'd call it a late lunch. So who was on the phone?"

"It was Spencer."

The neko almost dropped the frying pan he was holding, "What did he want?!"

Tala sighed as he sat across from a worried looking Max, "Kai's sick so he was thinking about coming back early."

The blonde paled, "Are they?!"

The Russian shook his head, "No, I talked him out of it. Told him Bryan burned down the kitchen."

Ray nodded as he set a cup of coffee in front of Tala, "Well that's believable enough I suppose. So what's wrong with Kai?"

"Spence was saying some guy at the airport was sick and I guess he coughed a lot around Kai so he's coughing up a storm. He's back on his puffer for now so they were thinking it might be good to get him somewhere where it was milder because the cold makes him worse most of the time."

Ray cringed, "He needs to take vitamins are something. His immune system hasn't ever been very strong."

Max nodded, "I remember when I caught the flu that one time even though he stayed away from me and made me where that mask and had you wash everything he still caught it."

The neko sighed, "Don't remind me. He even made me walls." He looked thoughtful for a moment, "He dropped around ten pounds because of that. I don't think he ever gained it back. I hope they're making sure he eats."

Tala laughed, "Believe me, with Spencer there Kai will eat."

Max looked around, "Speaking of Kai where did he get off to? Is he seriously still watching the ceiling fan?"

The redhead laughed, "Ah, about that. Turns out he wasn't watching the ceiling fan but the gecko stuck to it. He was counting how long the thing could stay on while it was spinning on high."

Ray gave him an odd look, "That's um…weird."

"No, that's a five year old Kai."

There was a crash in the hallway followed by some Russian swear words as Bryan lumbered in. The neko chuckled, "Well look who's finally up."

The fare haired blader shot him a glare as he dropped himself down into a chair beside Tala.

"Slept in late enough."

Bryan scowled, "I was tired. God, can't a person sleep in for once without being bitched at?"

Tala just rolled his eyes as Bryan stole his coffee from his hand and began drinking it, "Why yes Bryan you may have my coffee. I don't mind," he grumbled.

"Shut up."

Ray set another cup in front of the redhead, "So you never did say where Kai got off to."

"Oh, while I was on the phone he fell asleep. Guess he's still a little worn out, we didn't really give him a lot of time to rest after the whole incident in the training room."

"Hm, well that's true. Speaking of that, has he even eaten anything since then?"

Bryan frowned as he set the now empty mug on the table, "He's only drunken some orange juice. He's being stubborn—

"Like your one to talk," Tala cut in.

The other Russian rolled his eyes, "But we got that stuff remember? I don't know what its called but the guy at the store said it would help him gain weight even if he doesn't eat what he's supposed to and it's a drink right?"

Tala nodded, "I guess that'll work. I'd rather have him actually eat something but with his arms I don't think he's going to. This morning when I got up he was trying to get the fridge open to look for that duck. Don't think I've ever seen someone cringe that badly from putting his fingertips on a door handle. Plus when I went to go see why he was watching that fan—

Bryan shot him a look, "I'll tell you later. Anyway he didn't get a chance to say anything seeing as the phone rang, and frankly I doubt he would have even if it hadn't. But, I have a feeling the only reason he was there for that long was because he was stuck. Not exactly the easiest position to get out of without using your arms."

Max grinned at that and Ray chuckled quietly.

"By the way Bryan you might want to get that Goddamn gecko of yours off the ceiling fan."

The other Russian shrugged, "If it found a way up there it can find a way down."

Tala rolled his eyes as Bryan looked around, "Kai's in bed, but where's the idiot?" Ray set down a plate of eggs in the middle of the table as he went to grab the toast, "He's still up in bed. He might actually be awake but he's still ticked about the whole Kai thing."

Bryan growled as he bit into a piece of toast, "He should stop whining about it before I slit his throat."

"Well either way he'll be down soon enough now that there's food—

Tyson came storming in right on cue. The neko set a plate in front of the chair that Tyson threw himself into and quickly began eating.

Bryan had seen many disgusting, even grotesque things in his life. But nothing could compare to watching the moron eat. If only all those fan girls that chased after him knew what he was really like.

Tala glanced over at Bryan to see him looking rather disgustedly at Tyson. The redhead had long learned to look away while the navy haired blader ate. Although, that didn't block out the sound.

He glanced out of the large windows and into the back yard. The sun was shining through the tree tops sending rays of light along the white covered ground. It had snowed well into the night so everything was covered in a fresh blanket.

He could only imagine what it was like up in Russia right now. There were several rabbit and deer tracks hear and there leading into the bushes but other than that nothing marred the perfect sea of white—

Tala stood up to get a better view. Bryan looked up as he walked to the windows but didn't say anything. From there Tala could just make out a track of footprints

"Ray," he called behind him "Has anyone been outside yet?"

The neko thought for a moment, "No. Why?"

"Huh. Nothing. Just wondering."

The neko shrugged before going back to his eggs as Bryan came up to stand beside him, "What do you see?"

"Someone's out there."

The fare haired Russian scanned the area and quickly picked up on what he was talking about, "They moving in then?"

"Seems so."

"Hn. Normally I'd like to be more prepared then this but I guess we'll have to make due."

"Yeah...is everything secure?"

Bryan nodded, "I tested it all the other night, and everything is in working order. But, we don't know where they're going to come from or what equipment they'll have. There are a lot of unknowns, a fair few more then I'd like ideally."

Tala bit at his lip, "Well we know they're coming for Kai, that or this is all one hell of a coincidence. But, we can base the plan around that."

The other Russian glanced over at him, "I don't like this at all. Feels like something's wrong. We don't know who these guys are or anything and I don't like the idea of them lurking around in the back while we're none the wiser."

Tala nodded, "Neither do I, but we can't worry about that right now what we need to do is

"Can you guys seriously speak in English," Tyson moaned. "I've told you it's annoying to have no idea what you're saying."

Bryan glared, "Just hearing you voice is annoying so why don't you shut the hell up?!"

The blader rolled his eyes, "You both think you're so high and mighty. But you're not so great I—

"Tyson," Ray cut in "I think it might be best for you to be quiet now before you wind up dead."

Another eye roll, "Whatever. So, where's the little freak at?"

The neko pinched the bridge of his nose while Max ducked his head. Bryan growled loudly as Tala stormed over to the table, "You're a walking bottomless pit and Kai's the freak? Look in the mirror pig and I doubt you'll ever find anything more freakish! This is your last warning."

"Apparently some guys are coming after him right. And you guys seem pretty worried about it," Tyson yelled as he stood up "Well if you ask me we should just hand him over! He's going to be sent back to his time in a few days, who cares? All he does is cause trouble!

First with the hospital and then with the training room! And to top it all off that duck thing bit me the other day! He's a freaking monster child! The kid from hell! I say we just hand him off to them let the timer run out then act like he was never here."

Max looked stricken, "Tyson do you know what you're saying?! Who knows what they want with him, never mind what they'll do to him if they get their hands on him. This is KAI we're talking about. Our Captain. Our friend."

The world champ rounded on him, "But that's just it Max! This isn't the same Kai! This kid hasn't helped us or trained us! He's a stranger! One day sure, he'll be our Kai but right now he isn't! This kid is boarder line evil, he almost killed me. Our Kai might threaten to do that, but he'd never actually do it! They're not the same. He's—

Tyson was cut off by a hand across his face.

Everyone turned to look at a trembling Max, "L-Look Tyson. You're my friend...but- but I won't have you saying those terrible things anymore. You said it yourself one day this Kai will grow up to be our Kai. You're wrong they are the same person. Now, I don't know if he'll remember any of this once he goes back to his time, but if he does I want him to be able to call us his friends! I want him to know that we care about him. That way even while he's there in that horrible place he knows that he has us no matter how alone he feels!"

Tyson clutched at his reddening cheek, "But Maxie—

"No buts Tyson! Don't you Maxie me! I mean it this time," the blonde said somewhat sternly "I might not be as close to him as Bryan or Tala or even Ray for that matter, but I would still like to think that Kai views me as an older brother...or well, cousin at least! I won't have you ruin this all, so I won't listen to this anymore! Now sit down and shut up!"

The champion fell back into his seat as he continued to stare. Max looked up to catch a smile on Bryan's face. A real smile, not a smirk or a sneer and best of all it was because of something he had done.

"Didn't know you had it in you Blondie."

He smiled, "Thanks."


Kai rolled around in his sleep as a nightmare plagued his mind...

He could only stare on in horror as person after person fell victim to Dranzer, slowly torn apart by his blade. The blood splattered along the white walls and onto his hands until he thought they'd never be clean again.

A mark of his sins for the entire world to see. There to haunt him for eternity. He ripped through everyone, friend and foe alike. It made no difference. Max was the first to go.

He came up to him and crouched down as if to embrace him. His arms began to rap around Kai but stopped as blood began to pour through a pair of pale lips. The small Russian could hear the small choking noises the blonde made as the light faded from blue eyes.

He breathed his last breath, taking his heart warming, always caring smile with him. Unlike the others he didn't scream, he didn't curse him in his final moments. There was acceptance in those deep blues, forgiveness.

Tyson fought as he shouted and screamed as Kai slowly beat away at his hope and spirit. 'Why can't I stop,' he wondered to himself in horror until there was almost nothing left of the world champion who's blood was added to the mix.

Bryan and Tala stood stoically side my side, hand in hand in their last moments. They would face death together as they had life. Brothers until the end.

Finally it was Ray's turn, and he fought valiantly. He did not beg, or scream like Tyson. He knew when he had been beaten. Soon he too was lying on the ground as a pool of crimson spread around him. A pair of amber eyes met blood red as death took hold and a single question fell from the Neko's lips,

"Why?"


Kai shot up gasping for air as Kostya gave an indignant, 'cheep'. His heart seemed to be racing a mile a minute feeling as if it was trying to burst from his chest. The small boy tried to regain his breath and seeing as he was failing he pulled the puffer from around his neck.

As his breathing returned to normal he suddenly felt the need to see everyone, to assure himself it was all really just a dream. The room spun as he shifted off of the bed and slipped out of the already open door.

He had been headed to Bryan's room when he heard the fare haired Russian's voice booming from downstairs. Apparently, someone wasn't happy.

He made sure the Duckling was secure on his shoulder before descending the stairs. As he made his way to the kitchen he just caught Tyson yelling something

"– if you ask me we should just hand him over! He's going to be sent back to his time in a few days, who cares?"

Kai stopped as he listened to the older blader's words. They cut deeply. Was he really that much of a bother? Was he really some hopeless monster child?

He was about to go back off to his bedroom when a slap resounded through the kitchen. To his surprise it was Max who spoke up. As he listened to the blonde's words he couldn't help but feel a new appreciation for him. The American was right; he really did view him as, maybe not an older brother figure, but more of a cousin.

Kai couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he headed back to his room, only this time with much higher spirits.

Maybe he wasn't so hopeless after all.


The man made his way down the dimly lit hallway, only the sound of his boots clanking against the floors to keep him company. Everything was ready. He knocked against the oaken door at the end of the hall before letting himself in.

"Sir," he addressed his superior

"Ah, Lieutenant. I trust you have good news?"

The officer grimaced at the sound of the man's velvety voice. It reminded him of the stories his mother used to read him as a child. Of the man that lured the children into the forest with his sweet sounding voice and promises of treats only to steal their souls.

The only light in the room came from a small lamp on the desk which cast the man's face into an eerie light. Why he'd been stationed in this Godforsaken place was beyond him. He was an up and coming officer with a bright future ahead of him.

Bribery seemed to be more then likely, especially when considering who he was now working under.

"Yes sir, we've located the target and proved beyond a doubt, that it is indeed him."

The older man nodded, "Good. Make sure everything is set up, I want it to be ready for his arrival."

"It will be done," the lieutenant assured as he saluted.

"See that it is. Use any force you deem necessary."

The officer hesitated, "Any force sir? He is just a boy—

"You have your orders! Now, get out!"

The solider left quickly and the man sat back in his chair as the door shut with a snap, "This should be quite fun," he said as he stared down at a photo that had been handed to him earlier.

"Don't you agree? Heh. I'm coming to get you," he laughed as he stared into a pair of

deep crimson eyes.


Dear Readers,

So everyone how did your exams go? Great I hope.

So I'm trying to make the characters grow a little. Tyson is going to take a while but it was Max's turn today. Not going to lie, I tend to ignore him a lot but it felt like it was finally his time to shine, you know? Maybe now that his best friend is fete up with him Tyson will get the message.

But yeah, beyond bombed my French exam. Seriously. I was on the multiple choice and all I hear from my friend in front of me is, "Oh shit." Then my friend behind me and personally I thought he knew it all is like, "Fuck." And there's me wondering if I'm supposed to understand anything it's asking me. For all I know it could have been absolute gibberish. I tried to understand it and it was hopeless

French sucks. I don't care if I'm French or if my name is French it still sucks. My mother guilted me into taking too! Something about ignoring her heritage. I wanted to take Auto which my dad said was a good idea so I because then once I was driving I'd know how to take care of a car. But no, I listened to my mom she'd never steered me wrong before. Yeah well, first time for everything. Thanks for reading.

There might just be a surprise next chapter...

Yours truly,

ForeverFalling.
