A few days passed since the brutal training. I stilled sucked at sword fighting and I also sucked at fist fighting. We were no longer on the dry island, Law got annoyed and decided it was time to move. We still continued the training in the submarine, but it was more mental then physical.
"You have to focus!" Law snapped.
"I'm trying!" I snapped back.
"You are not trying hard enough!" Law threw down the pen he was holding.
"God why not through a tantrum then!?" I suddenly stood up, my hand curled into a fist.
"You are so frustrating! You don't listen, you don't focus! You are just a stupid girl with no hope of learning anything!"
I bit down on my lip and puffed out my chest, "Well…well….Well you are just a….a…Jerk! Yeah, a jerk."
"That's the best comeback you could come up with? Well guess what? I am a jerk and you have to live with that, but I don't think I can live with your stupidity!" He slammed his hand down on the table.
We locked eyes with each other, both glaring. "Well if that's how you are going to treat me I will just leave!" I yelled at him.
"Be my guest!"
I stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind me. Penguin and Shachi were both standing outside.
"Uhhh… Is everything alright?" Penguin asked.
"Ya, everything is fine." I snapped at him and stomped toward my room. "I can't believe that he can be so mean!" I entered into my room, shutting the door behind me. "It's not my fault that I'm not interested in the human body, or how to stitch up a wound. I don't want to be a doctor. I want to be a stronger person. All Law has been doing since we left that island is teaching me stuff I don't care about! God, why can't he just understand that I'm not interested!" I collapsed onto my bed. "This would be so much easier if he wasn't a jerk." I sighed and reached for my book.
This was a different book then before. This one was about a man that traveled in a box with different companions. They went to strange worlds and saved innocent lives. I hated to part where the author would kill off my favorite characters. I was reading for a while when there was a knock on my door.
"What?" I asked annoyed.
"Can I come in?" Oh great it's Law.
"No."
"To bad." Law opened the door, "Look I want to talk." He walked in and closed the door behind him. I didn't look up from my book but I could feel his eyes on me.
See the problem with Law is that he is extremely attractive. His personality fits with his looks; Mean, conceded, honest, sort-but-not-really-kind, laid back, pretends not to care, not to mention stubborn. But he was also very curious, especially towards me. I figured it's because I have something special to me, but maybe it's more than that. Maybe he doesn't understand his own feeling…. Well that's what I want to think at least. I don't even know what my own feeling are.
"Kathren."
"Hmm?"
"Put down your book." Law sat down on the bed.
"No." I continued reading the book,(But really I was just staring at the page.)
"God, you are stubborn."
"Your telling me." I mumbled.
He bent over and whisked the book out of my hands.
"Hey! Give that back!" I reached for it but he pushed me down.
"No, let's talk first."
"Ugh, fine." I stared up at him.
"I'm sorry."
"…..What?"
"I just apologized."
"I heard you, Law. But why?"
"I understand that what I am teaching you is, boring. I am doing it to expand your mind. You don't ever have to use it, heck I don't care what you do with it. I also know that I lost my temper with you. Which is something that I don't do that often. I am apologizing for how I acted." Law looked down with what looked like embarrassment.
I really didn't know how to respond I just stared at him with awe."Um.. Well, okay. I guess I should be apologizing too. I was kind of acting like a brat."
Law's lips curved into a smile,"Yeah, you tend to do that often."
"Wow thanks."
"Your training is coming around. You might not think that it's very good, but you have made progress."
"No I haven't, I'm pathetic."
"Well keep thinking like that and you will be." He touched my shoulder,"There are so many secrets to you that I want to unlock. You are a puzzle to me."
My eyes widened,"What are you talking about?"
Law chuckled,"I don't even know myself. There is just something about you. In fact you seem familiar to me."
I remember when I first met him. I thought he seemed familiar to me as well. Is there some sort of connection between us? Have we met before? No, I think I would remember a face like his.
"You seem to be thinking the same thing as me." Law snapped me back to reality.
"Um, well, when I first met you, I thought that you seemed familiar to me."
"Hmm, again you are a mystery to me." He locked eyes with me,"And you're my mystery to solve."
