No Pov.
Kai sighed as he looked out the window into the blank darkness. His eyebrows were knotted together and looked like he was in deep thought. He was still slightly jealous of Lloyd, but he was trying to force himself to move on from Loral, for it was obvious that she loved Lloyd and not himself. She thought of Kai as more of an older brother, even if at first she did have some strong feelings for him.
At least she's happy with Lloyd, Kai thought. He shrugged slightly as he continued to watch out the window. An unsettling silence was around Kai and he felt slightly…lonely. He never thought that with all his fans and all the girls falling head over heels for him would make him feel so alone and wanting something more. Maybe it was because he had never had anyone truly love him and had never really tasted love for himself.
What he didn't know was that in only a short time he would be more happy than he had ever been before, happier than when Skylar payed him some attention, happier when his fangirls would start swooning because him. Much happier than the last one especially.
The silence was interrupted by the sound and motion of someone slowly sitting down next to him. Kai lifted his head slightly to see Michelle sitting next to him, in the same position he had been in a few seconds ago.
"Hey," Kai said, breaking the silence. She didn't look up.
"Hey back," she replied still keeping her eyes on the window.
"What are you doing?" he asked turning back to the window. She shrugged but didn't reply for a few minutes.
"I dunno… I guess I'm kinda jealous of Loral and Jessica…" Michelle said sighing slightly. "Loral's always had boys falling head over heels for her because of her perfectly long brown hair and emerald green eyes and perfect skin and she's so sweet all of the time… Then again it goes the same for Jessica except she's s fit and she's not afraid of anything and she's more confident than anyone I know and I'm stuck here… being made fun of for being small and for being scared easily…" she rambled on. "I'm just so imperfect while they're just so amazing. They're both perfectly perfect and I'm such an…imperfection. No boy has ever once asked me out ever and I'm seventeen." She sighed dramatically.
"Wait so you think you're an imperfection?" he asked her. She simply nodded her head. "Hey nobody's perfect. From what I know, Jessica is super stubborn and has a hot temper and Loral is pretty naïve sometimes because of how nice she is. And, I happen to really like redheads," he said, and slightly smirk appearing on his lips. Michelle looked up, slight hope glittering in her eyes.
"Really?" she asked in a quiet squeak. Kai nodded chuckling slightly.
"I don't know if it happens to be that I'm the master of fire or what but I do. And your hair particularly pretty," he said running his fingers through her long wavy red hair which was hanging loosely around her shoulders. Michelle blushed, even though she knew he was just trying to flirt with her.
"O-okay st-stop it, Kai!" she exclaimed. She moved herself away slightly. Kai sighed.
"Okay, okay… But the truth is… I really do kinda like you," he said shrugging. Her eyes widened slightly and she looked over at Kai, the same glint of hope springing into her eyes once again.
She sighed slightly. "Stop teasing me Kai… And I know you don't like me truly, you just want to find a way to get over Loral," she replied flatly, a cold bitterness sounding in her voice. Kai was slightly taken aback that she had assumed this, and maybe it was slightly true for him, but that's what he was supposed to be doing; moving on. And now he found someone who wanted to talk to him, who actually wanted to talk to him. She had told him the way she felt in jealousy towards Loral and Jessica and that was actually something big.
"Hey, you stop assuming things," Kai replied back, furrowing his brows. "It's true, I want to get over Loral, and maybe I am using you slightly to do that, but in all seriousness, I have come to like you slightly and I know you like me," he went on. She looked over at him. "And of course you like me! I mean look at me. I'm irresistible." Michelle couldn't help but laugh at this, and Kai looked pleased seeing her laugh, because he had been trying to be humorous. And it appeared, he had succeeded. "So, Michelle, with that being said…will you go out with me?" he asked. Michelle smiled and nodded her head slightly.
"Okay I will…" she answered slowly and nervously. "But can we…not tell anyone? I don't really like being teased by people and I know your fangirls would be out to kill me…" Kai nodded his head in agreement.
"Okay, we can do that. If we decide to become a couple that is…" Kai said. Michelle shook her head vigorously.
"No! We can't let anyone know we went on a date either… Please," she pleaded with him. He nodded again and sighed.
"Okay fine. We can do that," Kai told her. She sighed with relief and smiled. After that, neither of them said a word and they continued to look out the window for a while.
After about a half an hour they heard the sound of a dragon outside the Bounty, and they both looked out to see Cole and Jessica returning on Cole's dragon. He disappeared behind a wall of the Bounty, but they heard them landing on the ship. They both got up, and went to the door the greet the two.
"Hey Cole! So, how'd it go…?" Kai asked, wiggling his eyebrows and smirking. Cole blushed darkly, but rolled his eyes and slapped Kai's arm in a friendly way. Kai's eyes opened wide and he gasped, pretending to be offended. "Cole..! How could you do that to me! I'm gonna go sit in a corner and cry!" he said in a fake offended voice. Though he really did go into a corner and sat there. Jessica and Michelle looked over at each other and then burst out laughing.
"He's so annoying…" Jessica groaned. Then she laughed again. "Oh, who am I kidding that was hilarious!" she exclaimed. Michelle nodded in agreement, with a big grin still plastered on her face.
The two girls sat down on a couch and Michelle listened intently as Jessica told her about her date. When she had finished, Loral walked in with Lloyd. Jessica groaned, knowing Loral would probably wanna know how it went. And it happened exactly like that. Loral walked in, sat down next to them, and asked how Jessica's date was and she told it all over again.
"Okay guys, I'm going to bed! I've had enough…excitement for one day…" Jessica said, yawing a few times. Loral and Michelle nodded in agreement and stood up.
"I'm tired too," Loral and Michelle both said at the same time, and then they laughed. When Loral went into the bathroom to get changed Jessica nudged Michelle.
"Have you noticed something about Loral lately?" Jessica asked her. Michelle shook her head.
"No, what?" she asked. Jessica smiled.
"She's beginning to loosen up slightly… She never wanted to do anything fun and she never laughed… Especially while her father was sick… I think Lloyd is really having an impact on her," she whispered. Michelle nodded, breathing out a quiet 'Oohh.'
"I get it now. And yeah, I do believe you are right," she replied. Jessica laughed slightly and smiled proudly.
"Aren't I always?" she asked. They looked at each other for a second with serious looks on their faces and then started laughing.
"Goodnight Jessy," Michelle said in a voice that showed she was trying not to laugh. She was still smiling. Jessica smiled back.
"Night, Michelle. See ya tomorrow." And with that they went to bed.
