Chapter 8
(Sue's POV)
I tossed and turned on the bed, uncomfortably. I just couldn't seem to get cozy. My hair was a mess, and I am sweating, even though I was wearing a white tank top, and light blue shorts. I finally just sat up, and I buried my face into my hands. I then looked to Nya on the right side of the room where she was sleeping in her bed. She looked relaxed, and slept soundly.
I looked at the digital clock that was next to me. It read, 12:37. I sighed.
I then finally set my feet to the floor softly, careful not to wake my best friend. I then slowly, and softly tip-toed out of the room.
I walked slowly through the hallway, trying not to wake anyone up. Especially Kai.
Once I reached the door to the training yard, I slid the door open. Once I opened the door, I felt the cool night breeze greet me with open arms. A relaxed smile started to form on my face.
I closed the door behind me softly, and plopped down on the steps. I leaned back, and put my hands on steps for support, as I leaned my head back. I closed my eyes. I felt the breeze blow my hair back. My hair was lifted up by the wind. I gave out a sigh of satisfaction. I feel much better.
I opened my eyes to see the stars shining above me.
That was when I heard the door behind me open. I didn't really want to turn around. I wanted to stay in this comfortable position.
I heard the footsteps coming closer to me. Then, the I heard the person plop down next to me.
I saw the color red from the corner of my eye, so I already know who the person is. Kai.
We sat there in awkward silence for a few minutes until he finally spoke up.
"Beautiful night, isn't it?"
"Yeah," I sighed dreamily. I turned my head to him. "Kai, did I wake you?"
He slightly chuckled. "No, don't worry, I come out here too when I cant sleep, or if I just need to think."
I smiled at him, as he looked me in the eyes. Of course I felt nervous, but I tried not to ruin the moment. "So, what are you thinking about?"
He looked down, and murmured something, so softly that even I couldn't hear. "What was that?"
He was still looking down. "Nothing Sue, nothing."
I looked at him with an un-convinced face.
He put his hands up in defense. "Sue, its nothing, really," he chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. "Alright, Kai, if you say so…"
He laughed. "I'm serious, Sue its nothing important, why do you want to know anyways?"
I blushed slightly. "I just want to know."
He looked at me with a heart-melting smile and said, "You know I don't think your just an ordinary girl right?"
"Really?"
He scooted closer to me. "Of course, your smart, strong, funny, and your really good at martial arts too." He chuckled at that last part.
"Oh yeah, remember when we were little-"
Kai put his hand up to signal me to stop talking. "Please, don't remind me of that Sue, I've been trying to forget that for years."
I giggled. "I sure did beat you at martial arts when we were little, didn't I?"
He looked down with an embarrassed smile on his face. "Yes," he murmured.
I then cupped my hand around my right ear. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, could you please speak up?" I said, with a smirk on my face.
'Ok, fine, you did kick my butt in martial arts when we were little."
I laughed. "I bet I could still beat you in martial arts now, too."
He laughed. "Oh, is that a challenge Sue?" he asked with a smirk.
I leaned forward so our faces were just inches apart. "Maybe it is," I replied with a smirk on my face again.
"Alright, tomorrow, afternoon, in the training yard."
"Alright then," I replied pulling away. Just like old times…
I yawned. "Well I better go back to bed." I stood up, and looked down at Kai. Who was still sitting. "And Kai?"
"Yeah?"
I leaned down , and kissed his cheek. "Thanks."
"Uh, for what?"
"Lots of things," I replied, and walked away with a huge grin on my face, without looking back.
