I am so sorry for not updating this sooner. I had writers block and finals to deal with. I know that may not be a very good excuse but again I am so sorry for updating this late. I will try to get the next chapter up sooner.

Chapter 8

Selina's Plan: Part Two

Before the sun even rose Selina was awake and ready to start the day. She walked out of her room with a smug look on her face. She walked past the bedrooms looking straightforward not really looking where she was going until she bumped into Raimundo. She looked Raimundo straight in the face and saw sweat dripping down his forehead. "What? Don't you trust me, Raimundo?" Selina said in a sweet, innocent voice."

Raimundo scowled at her and snarled, "No! Besides where do you think you're going?"

"I'm just going to the dining room to have some breakfast and besides I think you need a shower. Unless you want your friends to know that you've been secretly training behind their backs at night." Selina replied innocently.

Raimundo glared at her and said, "I still don't trust you though. I know your planning something."

"What? Why on earth would you think that I'm planning something? Besides you're the one who's been secretly training behind their backs. Because unlike you I'm going to be honest with them." Selina said.

"WHAT!" Raimundo exclaimed, "You're not capable of being honest!"

"Really? Well, what if I just had a change in heart?" Selina replied.

Raimundo scowled at her and said, "You would never betray Chase Young."
"Well there always a chance that it could happen," Selina said.

"Yah, there is, but you're not one of them." Raimundo scowled.

"Never say never Raimundo." Selina said as a small smirk graced her lips. She pushed herself past Raimundo and walked down the hallway toward the dining room. She sat down on a chair and started to eat some breakfast. When she was done she put her plate in the sink before heading back to her room. Once in her room she contemplated how she would get the monks to trust her enough. A small smirk formed on her lips as she thought of the perfect way to do it.

Finally the monks woke up for breakfast. They saw that Selina was already there. Raimundo looked at her and scowled. Kimiko looked at her and said, "When did you get up?"

"Not that long ago." Selina replied simply.

"Oh," Kimiko said. After that everyone ate in silence. The monks were still getting used to her being around.

After breakfast Omi went up to Selina and said, "So are you as bad as Raimundo says you are."

Selina laughed and said, "I don't know. What has Raimundo said about me?"

"Well Raimundo said that you can be very deceptive." Omi said.

Selina snorted and said, "Please, if anyone one is being deceptive then it's Raimundo."

"But Raimundo would not lie to us, he is our friend. Though you on the other hand might."

"Oh, please Omi just give me a chance. I promise I've changed." Selina pouted not meaning a single word of it. Omi being as gullible as he is believed every word that she said.

"Well, ok I'll give you a chance." Omi said before walking away from Selina. When he left a small smirk could be seen on Selina's face.

A Week Later

Kimiko approached Selina and said, "I don't know why Raimundo hates you so much. You seem like such a nice person."

"Thank you Kimiko that means so much to me."

"I may not know why Raimundo doesn't like you but that doesn't mean that I will trust you just yet." Kimiko said with a very serious look on her face.

"Fine," Selina said sternly, "I really didn't expect a girl like you to trust me right away."

"What do you mean a girl like me?" Kimiko said starting to raise her voice.

"What I meant is that you are a girl who isn't easily deceived by outward appearances. Not only that but a girl who is strong, witty, and intelligent." Selina said with a false smile placed on her lips.

"You really mean that? You think that I'm pretty, smart, and strong?" Kimiko asked very hopefully.

"Yes," she said, "I really do Kimiko."

"Thanks," Kimiko said as she pulled her into a hug. "At least someone understands me."

"You're welcome Kimiko." Selina said without meaning a single word of what she had just said.

"Well," Kimiko said, "I'll see you around Selina. Bye."

"Bye Kimiko." Selina said as a smirk started to tug at the edges of her lips. "Two down and two more to go." She whispered under her breath.

Two Weeks Later

Selina was walking down the halls of the temple to her room when suddenly she ran into Clay. "Oh, sorry Clay I didn't mean to run into you."

"That's ok Selina." Clay said, "You didn't mean to.

"I know it's just that I feel like nobody trusts me." Selina said sadly with her eyes on the ground.

"Oh don't say that. I trust you." Clay said.

Selina lifted her eyes to look at Clay. Weakly she said with tears starting to form in her eyes, "You do?"

"Yah," Clay said, "I do and besides why should I not trust you? It's not like you've done anything wrong."

"Yeah but still. Nobody else trusts me." Selina said with fake tears starting to fall from her checks.

"Hey, I'm sure Omi and Kimiko trust you." Clay said very reassuringly.

"You think so?" Selina said in a fake voice barely above a whisper.

"Yah," Clay said, "I do."

"Thanks." Selina said as she hugged Clay before starting to walk back down the halls to her room. Clay just stood there shocked that Selina had hugged him. Finally he regained his senses and started to walk down the halls to the dining room.

Four Weeks Later

Selina was standing under a tree with its branches spread out providing much shade for her. She heard footsteps start to approach her and she turned around to see Raimundo. She looked at him and said, "Hey Raimundo. What's up?"

Raimundo looked at her and scowled. Then said, "Don't hey me."

"Oh, come on Raimundo I've been a good girl. I haven't done anything wrong." She said in a baby voice. Raimundo only rolled his eyes.

"Please, I know you're up to something."

"What, What are you talking about Raimundo. I'm not planning anything. Besides," She said as she moved closer to Raimundo and whispered in his ear, "If I was then I would have already done it." She whispered. She looked Raimundo in the eyes and smiled at him before turning and leaving Raimundo behind to ponder what she had just said. Finally Raimundo sighed in defeat and headed toward his room thinking that perhaps Selina had changed.
