Chap. 33 : I'm Leaving
For the next few days, Hilary and the others didn't dare to bother Kai and Carol for that they know by the looks on their face, they had a fight.
" Wonder what they were fighting about." Said Mariah with curiosity.
" Who knows ?" shrugged Mariam.
" Must be something really important or else will Kai be looking like that ?" said Hilary.
Flashback
The groupie was eating breakfast until Hilary noticed Carol not touching even one bit of her food.
" What's wrong Carol ?" she asked.
" Nothing. Just tired." Said Carol as she rested her head on her palm.
Suddenly, Kai and Hilary got up and left.
" They're acting weird." Said Tyson.
" For once I agree with you." Said Hilary as the others nodded in agreement.
" What do you think they're gonna talk about ?" asked Mariah.
" I dunno." Said Mariam blankly.
" Why not let's ask them when they get back ?" suggested Mariah.
" I don't think that's a good idea." Said Kenny.
" I'm with Kenny. Better don't bug into people's business." Said Ray.
" Me too." Said Max.
" What about you Tyson ?" asked Hilary.
" Well, we'll see if it's the right moment to ask." He said.
" Hey ! You're getting smarter and smarter aren't you ?" said Hilary as Tyson smiled.
" Shh. They're coming." Said Ray.
Kai was walking back but Carol wasn't with him. His face was dark and his slate bangs covered his eyes.
" On second thought, better don't ask." Said Mariam as the team nodded.
" Kai, where's carol ?" asked Max.
" Shut up and eat your breakfast." Snapped Kai.
" Looks like they had a fight." Whispered Hilary to the others.
End of flashback
" The sight of Kai and Carol quarreling makes me sick." Said Mariam.
" You got that one right." Said Max.
" Hope they get together soon." Said Ray as he sat beside Mariah.
" We'll just have to wait and see." Said Tyson after having discussions with Kenny about Dragoon.
-
It was a week already and Kai and Carol were still not speaking to each other. Carol kept avoiding Kai and Kai just pretend that he had nothing to do with Carol.
" Oh dear. If this goes on, how are they gonna sit in class ! School is starting really soon." Said Hilary worriedly.
" Dear me. We'll just have to bear with it." Said Ray.
-
Finally, it was Christmas. Early in the morning about 3 o'clock, Carol woke up only to find that Kai wasn't in the room.
' Sigh. Well, this is it." Said Carol as she grabbed a pair of blue baggy pants, black shirt with words ' Don't ask' and black fingerless gloves and went for the showers. When she got out, she packed her belongings and wrote something on a piece of paper. When she was finished, she kept the paper in an envelope and placed it on the desk.
' Sigh. Best get going. It's already 4. I wouldn't want to miss the flight.' Thought Carol as she swung her bag over her shoulders, put Blazarine in her pocket, grabbed her scarf and walked out of the door. On her way to the main door, she spotted Kai sleeping on the settee, shivering slightly. Without thinking, she placed her scarf on Kai and closed the door.
" Bye Kai." Said Carol softly as she closed the door quietly.
Soon, after a few minutes, Kai woke up but he didn't notice the scarf because it slidded off when Carol closed the door. He went to the toilet for a shower and slammed the door.
-
Carol was walking down the lonely corridors, deep in her thoughts. Looking at the those walls with pictures of the bladebreakers winning awards hanging on them, she felt as she wasn't needed on the team.
' When I joined the team, I didn't even help them to win anything.' Thought Carol.
Taking one last glance of the quiet and empty school, Carol walked away without saying a goodbye to her friends.
-
Kai just came out of the bathroom and headed to wards the desk to take something. He spotted a letter.
To Kai.
' For me ?' he thought, puzzled as he opened it.
Dear Kai,
Maybe when you read this letter, I'm already on the plane going back to Australia. I just want you to know that I'm sorry for not telling you. I didn't tell you because I think I can handle it myself. But I didn't think that you'll react this way. I hope you understand. I'm now heading back to Australia so I hereby bid goodbye. Please help me to say this to the others. I don't know when I will get to see you again. But don't worry, I'll still come and visit you guys.
Yours truly,
Carolyn M. Blac
/ Guess you owe someone an apology./
/ Dranzer /
/ No. Tyson. WHO ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS ANOTHER NAME CALLED DRANZER /
/ Oh./
/ Well, what are you waiting for ? GO /
/ Go where /
/ GO AFTER HER /
/ Oh, right / said Kai as he slammed the door.
-
Carol was walking down the empty street.
/ Strange. It's Christmas and there's nobody./
/ No. People are in their homes celebrating it. But in the morning, guess it'll the crowd will be back doing some window shopping./
/ Ooh. / Said Carol was she looked at her surroundings.
-
Kai was running down the corridors, holding a scarf in his hands.
' Hope I'm not to late.' He thought as he ran out of the school gates and into the streets.
-
Carol finally reached the airport at . When she stepped into the airport, it was quiet. Not many people were there. She headed towards the counter and the attendant looked up.
" Yes ? May I help you ?" asked the attendant.
" Yes. My father booked a ticket for me to Australia, Sydney." Said Carol.
" Name please ?" asked the attendant.
" Carolyn M. Blac."
" Yes. Here's your ticket. Your flight will land about half an hour more. Please sit at the chairs around there and wait patiently. Enjoy your flight. Thank you." Said the attendant as she handed Carol the ticket.
" Thanks." Said Carol as she took the ticket and went to sit down at the seats provided. She took out her MP3 player and listened to it.
/ Hey./
No response.
/ Hey /
Still no response.
/ HEY /
/ What ! You've just broke my music /
/ I know. But you sure you wanna do this ? You can always go back, apologize and everything's settled./
/ No. I'm a pain to the team./
/ No you aren't. You'll always made them smile./
/ What's the use of making them smile ? I know only realize it was nothing. I didn't even win any match for them./
/ No use ? Hello ? You brought happiness to them /
/ No. Tyson and Hilary always made them laugh, not me./
/ But you-/
/ No buts. I made up my mind./
/ Sigh. Talking to you, pointless./ concluded Blazarine as his voice disappeared from Carol's mind.
After a few minutes, Carol got up. ' Hmm. A quarter to five. The plane's landing at five. Guess I have time to explore a bit.' She thought as she wandered around.
When she reached the department door or whatever you call it to get a sneak peek, a voice made her stop her tracks.
" Carol."
" Kai." She said as tears foamed in her eyes.
