Set During 'Pork Chopped'
Patience…
Blake's POV
I fake enthusiasm as I watch the fighting on the big screen in front of me, Sensei sitting next to me munching away at his mini tub of popcorn.
Just the thought of the buttery substance makes my stomach churn. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat the stuff again after what happened today.
Have you ever been covered in artificially flavoring? Didn't think so. It's not too pleasant, and that all I'm going to say about that.
The scene in front of me changes to show the hero of the story saying goodbye to the girl he's secretly in love with.
I can feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Casting a look to my right, I can tell Sensei knows what I feel in my heart…
Yes, it's true. I'm falling for Tori… hard. At this point I'd rather have my helmet on and crash headfirst.
If she hadn't used her powers in public, she'd be the one sitting next to me, laughing at the right parts, commenting on the moves, and having my arm around her shoulders.
I know why she used her powers… she was trying to make everyone happy. I would have understood that she wanted to go see Shane. It wasn't a huge deal. But being the caring, wonderful, thoughtful person that she is, she just wanted to make everyone happy.
I sigh as the movie comes to an end. They'll be other times to ask her out… I'll make sure there are.
But then we never know when Lothor will decide to send down one of his freaks… and training… and work…
No, I say to myself as Sensei Amino's words from when I was very young come back to me.
'Be patient Blake. Anything you want in life that is truly worth having will all come in time.'
I sigh and know that he's right.
I'll attempt to practice my patience… I know that she's worth waiting for.
