Kai and his mind.
The moment Kai had punched Tyson he regretted it. Tyson was his best friend. He wished Tyson had hit him back. The mingled look of surprise and hurt had destroyed Kai's anger. Anger was replaced by guilt. Guilt was soon replaced by hopelessness, loneliness, doubt and a million other negative feelings. Kai went to Cafe Rosalia. It was oppostie FameFlame but at that time Kai was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he didn't even notice this.
Cafe Rosalia was a better place than FameFlame not in terms of quality but definitely quantity. People flocked here as the prices were lower than FameFlame. Kai was lucky to get a table for two on the crowded day. He took up the evening paper which was lying on his table and pretended to read it. Meanwhile his thoughts where going haywire.
"It does happen with children whose parents either left them or died and the children had to live a life loneliness." They way Grace had talked about him, he could be a contagious disease. He wondered what it meant to have parents, to a life of no worries, to always have someone to watch your back, to... As the words on the newspaper began to blur he could have laughed at the number of times he had wondered about this. But instead of laughing the thought only made him more bitter.
'That granfather of yours never gave you enough attention and this is why you adopted this rebellious behaviour. To attract attention.' The words were like needles being driven into his skin. If there was one thing that Kai did not want it was attention. Then also...why was life so unfair to him? And then also people felt he was having the time of his life. Just because you feel you are better off than everyone doesn't mean that you will do as you please. When his own friends were blind to his misery how could he expect others to be considerate. Kai decided he was still angry with his teammates. He could always see that they needed help then why couldn't they?
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" a clear voice interrupted his train of thoughts.
