Lloyd's POV

"LLOYD!"

"Leave me alone Harum—"

"Lloyd it's your mother." I sigh as I reluctantly unlock and open the door to the small, dark closet I trapped myself in.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Lloyd, why in Ninjago were you slamming doors, stomping around, and.....hiding in a closet?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Well, too bad," Kai says, sticking his head out from the doorway.

"No."

"What's gotten into you?" Jay asks, joining the conversation.

"I'm fine." I reply, getting annoyed.

"Obviously you're not," Kai retorts.

"Just leave me alone!" I shout, pushing my way through the small crowd and running for my room. Out of the corner of my eye, I barely glimpse the white haired girl who broke my heart peeking out from behind a door. I turn in the opposite direction and run toward my bedroom.

Harumi's POV

"Just leave me alone!" A familiar voice yells. I slightly open the door and peek through the small space only to find Lloyd running away from his mother and friends while tears pour out from his eyes.

I'm not leaving him like this. I remind myself, determined to make it up to Lloyd. If that's even possible. He looks in my direction before turning sharply away from me. I follow close behind him, yet far back enough that he won't notice. That didn't last long...

3rd POV

After taking some random turns, The Green Ninja and The Quiet One unknowingly run toward each other down a hallway, before they suddenly crash face-first into each other. Both fall backwards, groaning as they come in contact with the hard floor. Lloyd immediately gets up, attempting to run away and avoid any conversation with Harumi. The white haired girl grabs his hand before he has a chance to run.

"Lloyd, please–"

"No." Lloyd interrupts coldly before roughly jerking his hand back. Harumi grabs his shoulder, pushing him to face her.

"Please,"

He glares at her and immediately turns around sharply, while extending his right leg and spinning down quickly for a sweep kick. His heel connects with her legs forcefully, and knocks her down. This move gave him time to stand up and run off down the hall, leaving Harumi on the cold, hard floor with a sad expression.

As Lloyd runs, a single tear escapes his eye and rolls down his cheek. He immediately regrets everything he had done to Harumi, no matter how much she deserves it.
