Chapter Ten – ???
Zarine thought, [Ray's going out with Mariah? How could he tell me that last night then? He's probably nothing but a player!]
Her face remained expressionless, but her eyes were dark with anger. Kai noticed but said nothing.
"Well, we better get going," Tyson said, "See you in the tournament!" The other waved.
Max looked really disappointed to leave Mariam though.
On the way back, Max had a dreamy look on his face. (I wonder why!) Zarine was quiet, and looked kind of upset about something. Tyson noticed and started talking to her. Soon, Ray joined in too.
Kai made sure they were in deep conversation before talking to Chief. "Kenny, I think something happened between Ray and Zarine last night. She got angry when she heard what Tyson said about Ray having time to hang out with his girlfriend, namely, Mariah," he said to Kenny quietly, not wanting Ray and Zarine to hear.
"Huh, are you sure?" Max heard and turned to look at Kai. The dreamy look was gone from his face now.
"Yeah, I saw her eyes afterwards. When you learn to read her eyes, there's no emotion she can't hide from you," Kai said confidently.
"I didn't notice that," Max commented.
Kenny told him with a smile, "That's because you were looking at Mariam the whole time. I noticed it too, but I didn't know what it meant."
"I guess I'm going to have to have a long talk with Ray," Kai sighed.
Later, Zarine was training the others. It was taking Tyson exceptionally long to get the hang of the obstacle course that Zarine set up for them.
"Rats! I screwed up again!" Tyson groaned after his thirtieth try, "I'll never be able to do it!"
"Come on, you can do it. I know you can figure out your mistake and fix it soon," Zarine encouraged Tyson.
Kai was surprised that Zarine actually had that much patience with Tyson, if it was him, he would've boxed Tyson's ears already. "You know, it's beyond me why you have so much patience with Tyson when we're training, and yet you get so annoyed with him when we're not," Kai remarked.
"Maybe it's because when we're training, he's concentrating on blading instead of making cheeky remarks," Zarine said.
"Hey, that wasn't very nice!" Tyson grumbled.
"Hate to break it to you, but that's the impression I get," she said bluntly.
"Can't you just tell me what I'm doing wrong?" Tyson asked hopefully.
"Not a chance. You'll get it, you're a bright bulb when it comes to blading,"
"Fine! I'll show you!"
After his fiftieth try, Tyson finally managed to do it properly. Tyson breathed, "Whew! All that training and brain work made me really hungry. Let's go eat now!"
They got room service to deliver food that night. Tyson ate more than any of them, as usual
"Let's do something fun, I'm bored," Zarine complained.
"Go fish?" Tyson suggested.
"That's a game for little kids," Max said, "How about poker?"
"We already played that a few days ago," Kenny said, "Trivia Pursuit?"
"NO!! That game is boring, I never know any of the answers," Tyson said, shivering, remembering how embarrassing it was when he last played that game. He was the only person who didn't move from the starting point.
"Video games?" Ray proposed.
"Yeah! That's a great idea!" Max said.
They ended up playing a car racing game. They each took turns to play since it was a two player game. Kai didn't join in, he thought it'd be boring, until...
"Kai, you should play! You haven't had a turn yet," Zarine said brightly, holding the controller out to him.
"I'll pass. This is a waste of time anyways," Kai said coldly.
"Really? You'll never know if you like it until you try it! It's better than standing against the wall with you arms crossed. You can go against me!"
"I don't have to try it, I already know I'd hate it."
"I think you're just scared to lose. You think you're such a hot shot that is good at everything."
The others gasped at her words, no one had ever talked to Kai like that.
"I'll prove that you're wrong," Kai said coldly, grabbing one of the controllers and sat down beside Zarine.
"I knew I can get you to play!" Zarine grinned. She didn't mean what she said, she just wanted him to socialize with the rest of the team more.
It was an intense race between them. Sometimes Kai would take the lead, and sometimes Zarine would be in front of him.
"It seems like I've won," Kai remarked.
"Only by a tenth of a second!" Zarine protested.
"Whatever, I'm going to bed now," Kai said.
"I wanted a rematch!"
"Guess you're not gonna get it."
"Fine."
Kai shut the door and waited for Ray to come out. That was his real reason for leaving. Well, partly that and partly because he can't stand to be around the loud Tyson and the hyper Max.
"I'm going to bed now. You coming, Zarine?" Ray asked, looking at her, hoping that she'll come.
"No, I'm going to stay and watch the match between Tyson and Max," she answered coldly.
Ray frowned as he walked out the door, wondering what he did to upset her.
"Ray, we gotta talk," Kai said quietly.
Ray turned to his captain who was leaning against the wall, surprised. He hadn't expected Kai to stand there.

Sorry I haven't updated for a few days. I just didn't want to type anymore since I typed my story up a lot in the beginning of the week. I know this chapter is like pointless, but it'll have to do for now, probably until tomorrow if I'm not too lazy!
