The walk home started out quietly. Karen didn't think that Kai and Tyson had heard her father, but maybe she had been wrong. She rubbed her arm in slight frustration and confusion. Who would she choose? She walked slowly, Tyson on one side and Kai on the other.

How can I just choose one? Why do I have to? They'll fight over me, I know… but I hardly know Tyson! And I had never thought of Kai that way… How can I choose. Something in her thoughts snapped into place, her old Karen-ish attitude came back. Wait, why DO I have to choose someone! Not like I have to just get up and marry one of them! My father made me think this…

She grew angry, and stormed ahead of the boys as Tyson was about to say something. Tomorrow, I'm going to buy plane tickets and get out of this boring town! There are thousands of boys out there, I don't have to choose between these two!

"Karen!" Kai and Tyson shouted, but she had already slammed her door and walked up to her room.

Kai and Tyson looked at each awkwardly outside of Karen's door. Tyson shifted from foot to foot, glancing from the door to Kai.

"Why don't you knock…" Tyson said. "you've known her longer, I'm sure-"

"No, no, I'm sure that she like's you better. I'll back off and you can take her…" Kai said sadly.

"No, really, I don't deserve to-"

"But really! It's okay."

What? Now they don't want me enough to fight for me? Am I just a tool, or a pawn in a game or something? I'm not special enough to have a say in it? I'm so angry! Karen stormed to her dresser and took out the little clothes that she had. She packed a backpack with her money, her clothes, necessities and finally a picture of her mother and father on their wedding day. She took her cell phone and dialed for the operator.

"Hello? Yes, operator?... I was looking for the number for the travel agency. That would be great. Thank you."

The phone rang in her ear, and her eyes were getting wet, even though she told them frequently in her mind not to.

"Yes, is this the travel agency? I would like 1 ticket for Blossom city. No, one way. Yes, single. 37$? Alright… they credit card number is…"

Sorry that this is a really short chapter, But I don't have any more class time to type, so this is all you get today! Buh bye now!
