YAY! Next chapter completed!
It was the middle of the night when I awoke first. I could never remember feeling as thirsty as I did then. Someone must have been a mind reader because on the drawer next to me I saw a glass of water. I took a sip and nearly choked.
It was lemonade, flat lemonade that had probably been there during the day. Who in there right mind would give me soft drink? It's not like I was suffering from the flu or anything. Actually since this wasn't my bed (I sleep on the top bunk) I might have just drunk someone else's old lemonade...probably Max's…
There were a few other things next to me that I figured were definitely mine however. A medical record with my full name attached (Nula Anne Gerda Satiari), my beyblade in perfect condition (probably repaired by Kenny) and my hair clip that had been taken out of my hair as I slept. Anything beyond that was to dark to see. I was considering getting out of bed for a drink of water but I was almost too tired to move.
Instead I drank the flat lemonade hoping no one would notice it missing because I would never live it down. Slipping under the covers so no one would see the light I pressed a button on my watch and saw that it was only 10.30. After that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
I woke up AGAIN for about the fifth time at 6pm. deciding I was feeling much better and ignoring that slightly dizzy feeling I slipped downstairs.
As I walked round the corner I nearly died of fright when someone said 'you should not be down here'.
Spinning around I saw Tala looking mildly irritated.
'Why?' I asked 'is there some rule about getting up early?'
'Its common sense' Tala said 'You have been asleep for two days since the battle'
'If I have been asleep for two days then why would you think that I needed to go back to bed?'
'Fine whatever I am not going to baby-sit you but you better hope Kai doesn't spot you here because he will strap you to your bed.' Tala looked rather disapproving and parent like for someone who wasn't baby-sitting me but I was more concerned about what he had said about Kai.
This really annoyed me. So now Kai thought he could boss me around?
'I got injured slightly ok? I was not a victim of world war three! Seriously I am fine now I just needed the rest. If I get tired I will go back to bed promise' I said even though I had no intention of going back to bed.
Tala merely raised an eyebrow at this and went to the fridge to get milk. I went and got dressed into my normal clothes since I was still wearing a bright pink nightdress over my clothes, it was covered in lace and was very different to my full length pyjamas. No prizes for guessing who that belonged to. By the time I was out of the bathroom Tala was nowhere to be seen but Max and Kenny were up.
'She lives!' Max said in his scariest voice
'Only just' Kenny looking at me slightly horrified
'Yeah!' Max said 'you were totally trashed'
'Well I still won!' I laughed
'I was the one who got left out' Max said dejectedly
'I think that had some good points' I said I couldn't put off the question any longer. 'Did we get into finals?'
'I think that's kinda obvious' Kenny said disappointedly. My heart froze.
'We so would have told you by now if we hadn't of gotten in to finals!' max finished off laughing
'Yes!' I shouted doing a small jump and then stifling a gasp because of the pain
'Don't start doing any cartwheels now' Kenny warned not noticing what had happened 'or you might not be able to play in them'
'Do I look so bad that you think I cartwheel might finish me off?' I asked sarcasticly
'Yes actually' Kenny said 'I personally think you should go back to bed'
'Agreed, you did give us all quite a scare' Max said seriously
Deciding to steer away from the whole injury thing I asked 'where is the rest of the team anyway?'
'Well Kai and Tala are of training' max said 'and Rei sprained his ankle AGAIN so Mariah is up there with him. I wouldn't recommend going up there unless you want to be totally grossed out'
I laughed.
'Will Rei still be able to play finals?' I asked feeling a bit queasy
'You couldn't stop Rei from playing if his ankle was broken let alone sprained!' Max answered
'Max and I are going to go down to the training grounds do you want to come?' Kenny asked hoping I would say no.
'No its ok I haven't had anything to eat yet and I am starving. I will meet you there in 5 ok'
They both looked hesitant but agreed 'fine if that's what you want but remember to have some lemonade before leaving. It will give you extra energy' Max shouted as he ran out the door.
'Don't come down if you don't want to. You really are not looking to good... no offence' Kenny said
I didn't feel good either but if I was going to get any practise for finals then I really had to start now. I quickly ate some cereal and put on my shoes. I went to the mirror so I could brush my hair and gasped. My reflection looked horrible! No wonder everyone had been so worried. I was pale bordering on white and on my cheek I had two long cuts one that had required stitching. I had bags under my eyes and my long blue hair was a mess. Panicking I studied my arms, they were completely bandaged up to the elbows and now that I was actually concentrating on them I noticed that the blood had seeped through from deeper cuts on my wrist. My legs had been scratched deeply as well, in places the blades had to have been pulled out. It hurt to bend down because of all the cuts on my body. A few of them had gone into bone on my ribs.
I did not really want to go to training anymore so still slightly shocked I walked upstairs making my footsteps noisy so I would give Mariah and Rei time to separate and pretend that nothing was happening. Once in the room I mumbled something to Rei about hoping his ankle got better then crawled into bed. I think Mariah knew I was upset because she came over to me a few minutes later.
I really didn't feel like talking
Poor Nula! I am so mean...Oh well at least she can still play in the finals and she had Kai carry her around. sighs
I think this is my favourite chapter yet! I would love feedback so please read and review because I wanna know what you think!
