Chapter 4
We walk the rest of the way in silence; not a bad silence but a comfortable one.
I have these times with Ray often.
A sort of understanding between us.
We get to the cafeteria and see Max and Kenny trying not to get sick by the sight of Tyson devouring every source of food in front of him.
As we get closer, Max notices us and tries to get Tyson's attention but it doesn't work.
I come up behind Tyson and place a hand on his shoulder.
"Trying to eat all the hospital's food, Tyson?" I ask.
Tyson jumps out of his chair and runs to the nearest door.
"Kai!" Ray says.
"What? I just asked him a question," I say. "And he bolted into a closet."
"What?" The other three people asks and turn to see Tyson stumbling out of the closet landing on the floor with a mop on his head.
The three of them laugh as I only smirk.
Chicken pox or no, I'm not going to laugh if front of them.
Even through they crack me up sometimes.
But I never amid it to anyone.
They would think I've gone crazy.
Max walks over and helps Tyson up.
Tyson comes out of the closet and there's Max to help him.
Wonder how long it's going to take for them to get together.
Less time than it will take me to tell Ray how I feel.
I don't think I will ever tell him.
It would hurt too much knowing that he knows and that he doesn't want to be with me.
And even if he does, my 'grandfather' would find out and use it against me.
I could have Ray hurt because of me.
I care for him too much to do that.
"Why don't we all go back to the hotel?" Ray says.
"Good idea, Ray," Max says.
We make our way to the exit in relative silence.
Only sounds were of Tyson when I accidentally bump into him.
Ray glares at me as he comes in between Tyson and me.
'What?' I mouth innocently.
'Stop it,' Ray mouths back.
'Fine,' I mouth.
I'll just get him when Ray isn't around, mentally smiling at what is to come.
The reason Kai is OOC is because he's trying to get his mind off of having the chicken pox.
