SHORT A/N:
Hey!! Its me, Amy again. I just wanted to thank you guys for 50 votes <3
It means a lot to me!

   Lack of sleep drove me crazy as the plane began to get ready for the landing on Chen’s Island. I couldn’t stop thinking about Jay… and Gale… I hate to admit it, but the guy’s a total hottie and he does have some charm. And it ain’t the dumb, cheesy stuff Kai uses all the time on Skylor or any other girl for that matter. It’s actually charming. And oh... his elemental power also impresses me. I mean weather is his power! He can make the sun come out or make it snow during summer!!! He really is powerful.

  But my heart belongs to Jay. I’ve already declared my love for him, more to myself though. It’s set in stone now that we are together and I’m not just gonna drop him for some strong random stranger that just happens to be a bit of a hottie, stalker, and charmer! It’s only my emotional girl hormones acting out. Or, let’s say, I hope it is…

    I shake Skylor awake and it results in her jolting up so fast that she nearly jumps out of her seat and hits her head on the roof. Giggling, I tried to calm her down and once she realizes it’s just me, we both laughed together. I looked at the seats next to me, currently occupied by a snoring Kai and a Jay curled up holding a teddy bear.

“He’s still my sleepy bluebird.” I thought and giggled at his adorable sleeping situation.

“Hey, what do you think would be the best way to wake Kai and Jay up?” Skylor asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

“Let them sleep. They’ll need their energy if they’re going to face Chen, right?” I said giving her a smile and looking down at my boyfriend, cuddling with his teddy bear…

aw...

--TIME SKIP--

   “Hey, Psst! Nya! We’ve arrived. Time to pack our things girl, c’mon. PSST!!” whispered yelled a familiar voice that I couldn’t recognize when I started to get up. And it was none other than my one and only scarlet-haired friend, Skylor. Her hair was a mess when I finally saw her face but she didn’t seemed she cared. I laughed a bit as her ponytail sat on the very top on her head with a bunch of tufts of hair sticking out with static electricity.

   “C’mon girl, I can’t wait you forever, can I?” she said while playfully punching my arm.

   “Well… you would, but then we would miss the Tournament and that wouldn’t be very nice to do to our boys. Right?” I teased while she laughed.

We got up and went to get our bags. I took a look at the people who followed us. My brother, Lloyd, and Cole were talking about the new masters while Jay and Zane were talking at the back about something I couldn’t hear. Probably some engineering stuff. Then I did a 180 and found Gale gazing at me intently. Was he checking me out?!

    “Um, hey…” I said awkwardly. I can’t just not talk to him now that we made eye contact! It’d be rude. “Did you... sleep well?”

“I did, thanks. Uhmm… Can I ask you something Nya?” he said looking directly in my eyes. God, his eyes are just...

NO NYA!

Don’t fall for him! Jay is the one for you! Not Gale!!   

“Sure, g-go ahead...” I stuttered feeling a blush creep up on my cheeks. Oh please don’t tell me I’m looking like my brother’s gi…

“Well… I clearly can see you don’t like me.. Did I behave or say something wrong?” Gale asked while still looking at me with those big sad eyes. I felt so bad for him. Did I make him feel sorry?! B-but I didn’t mean to! And the way he said it is kinda making me feel even worse.

Crap…

“What?! Pffft… Of course not! You didn’t do anything wrong. What makes you think like that?” I said trying to close this topic because I know many people will get angry at him for saying that. Especially two specific people… And this is starting to attract unwanted attention. I really don’t want anyone else tuning into our conversation and turning this into something bigger than what it actually is.

“Oh, great! It’s just that when I was talking to you, it seemed like you were really uncomfortable and hot. I-I mean… not like you aren’t already hot, but… uh… I just really can’t believe you didn’t like me. And yeah...” he said nervously and then chuckled when he finished. I had to join him or else I’d look stupid or something.

“Ok ok. Let me ask the 'REAL' question.” It wasn’t the real one?! What the heck?! Why me?! Ugh… my life really sucks right now…

“I wanted to know if you would want to be my roomate. I learned that, we will have less rooms so we can choose our roommates in this wave of the tournament. It’s one of Chen’s new ideas and its pretty cool in my opinion! So um... What do you think?” he said kindly looking in my eyes. My mind has exploded.

Wait.. WHAT?! Chen changed the rules? But we didn’t get information about this! There was nothing about it in our letters! How did Gale know...? What else did Chen change?!

Uh oh.
This guy is planning bad things again and I don’t want to be a part of it…
Lloyd’s dad means a lot to me as well, but I’m fearing the worst and I don’t know if we’ll get out of this alive and together again…

Back to reality... Why Gale ask me this?!

I mean we just met and I don’t see a reason for being in the same room. He’s so nice and all... but… what about my cinnamon roll, Jay? (Plus that is a bit creepy too…)

“Gale... I would like to and it is so nice of you but I-” I was cut off by… Jay?
Thank you, my savior!

He caught my hand and pulled me closer to him. He sent a fleeting glare to Gale and then smirked. Wow… I haven’t even seen Kai go that far… At least not that I know of!

“Hiya babe, whatcha doing? Oh hey Gear, sorry didn’t see ya there. I was looking for my girlfriend, but, oh wait she’s right here. So we gotta split!” he nearly spat out and put his hand over my waist. He guided me away with one hand and grabbed our gym bags with the over. I couldn’t believe how harsh he was being to Gale.

Where was my kind and gentle bluebird?

“The name’s Gale, and we were talkin-” Gale tried to yell at the back of Jay, but he didn’t care.

“Yeah yeah, met too. See ya sometime.” He yelled back over his shoulder and continued walking to Chen’s Palace thingy. I can’t really determine what to call it exactly...

   It wasn’t fair for him, was it? I looked up to see his face and... Yup. Just how I thought. He was still smirking and looked like he was proud of himself. Ok, this is enough for me...

    “What was that over there Jay!?!” I said trying to let go his hand. He looked at me but still went on his way dragging me along.

    I let out a frustrated grunt and pulled my hand away from his then stomped off to Kai and Skylor who were nearly making out after getting off the plane.

    “Would you two stop?!” I cried out in frustration, then dragged Kai and Skylor away from the rest of the group that were collecting their gym bags off the plane, “I’m having a crisis right now and you two are all over each other with your clothes nearly off! C’mon, let’s first off: Behave ourselves here. And second of all: Help me!”

    “Geez… ok sis! Continue…” Kai huffed out, already seeming to miss Skylor’s lips. Oh brother… He’ll live.

    “We’re here for you Nya! At least I am…” Skylor immediately reverted to sister mode and glanced at Kai who didn’t seem to focused on the situation at hand. Good thing I know that once I mention Jay’s name followed by Gale’s, he’ll snap to it! Let’s just say… I know how exactly to set him off. I’m his sister. I should know by now. ;)

    “Two Words:..” I begin when Kai groans.

    “I think I know where this is going… What did he do?” Kai moans as he covers his face with his hand. He knows me well.

    “Jay and Jealousy. I think you’re overprotectiveness has rubbed off on him a bit because there is a new elemental master here that finds me quite interesting and might be a bit infatuated with me…” I trailed off and uneasily looked up at Kai. I just felt like part of this was my fault. What part of it is my fault? Well, that’s a great question that I would love to answer you, but I can’t. Responsible for some of this is how I always tend to feel. Especially when I have to go to Kai about it. I hate depending on him to protect me or help sort out my problems! But I have no other person usually and I know that I can’t always do it on my own…

    “Kai, I got this. And just fyi, your hands are on fire… I don’t think I wanna hold them for awhile if you’re gonna keep ‘em like that…” Skylor butt in before Kai could say anything.

“Come with me, Nya, we’ll teach that brat a lesson to not flirt with the master of water!” Skylor took my hand and pulled me along with her. We were heading over Gale who was trying to find the way to Chen’s uhm… what was that kingdom or castle or palace or building living area space place… whatever that’s called, he was looking for the way for it. When he saw Skylor and I, his face lit up.

“N-Nya? You’re here! So did that… boyfriend of yours let you come?” Gale said and glared in Jay’s direction. It was like he couldn’t bear to say the word “boyfriend” without a dark cloud coming over his face. Then Gale surprised me by continuing, “I can see you brought a friend over with you. You’re Skylor, right?”

“Totally! And you’re Gale?” Skylor casually replied, shaking Gale’s hand in greeting.

“Yep! That’s me!” Gale turned back to me right then and asked almost pleadingly, “So did you decide if you wanted to be roommates with me or not? You do know that you can make your own decisions right? And nobody can choose for you?” He glanced over at Jay and then Kai when he asked me that last part. Skylor looked at me with a “Go on! Tell him you ain’t into him!” look. I turned my face to see him. He seemed hopeful and curious about my answer. Then I did something I immediately regretted.

“Sure… I’ll be your roommate.” What was I thinking?! I immediately wanted to take it back, but it was too late. He had already heard and comprehended it and I had no choice but to live with the consequences. Jay would kill me, Skylor would kill me, Kai would kill me… and then Gale. I’m so dead…

“Really?! Yay! Then see you in our dorm!” he said while jumping like a rabbit. I was happy for him but… I need to talk to Jay about this. Cause if he’s gonna be the one who finds out from Gale, things will get even worse.

Skylor was staring at me with wide eyes. She was sending me that face again… “I-I’ll be right back..” I said while backing away a bit. I turned my head to see Jay who had wide eyes like Skylor’s and was staring straight through me… Almost as if I wasn’t there. His eyes welled up with tears and I couldn’t take it anymore. He doesn’t deserve to go through this! I ran up to him and hugged him tightly. I buried my head in the crook of his neck and waited for him to hug me back. But something was wrong... H-he wasn’t hugging me back… I hesitantly looked up.

“J-Jay? What’s wrong?!” I said starting to worry about our relationship. He roughly pulled away from my arms. He looked directly in my eyes and wiped his tears.

“Why did you accept?! I-I thought we were going to be together!” he said while trying to be gentle as he said it but the anger in his voice was all too easy to hear.

“I don’t know... It just got out of my mouth.”

“People say things on purpose, Nya! The words don’t just come out by themselves!”

“I really am sorry, but we didn’t even talk about being in the same dorm! So I didn’t know that you wanted to be with me.” That was a big fat lie and he and I knew it full well, as soon as it came out of my mouth.

“But you know me really well, even more than I know myself!”

“I… I’m so sorry… I’ll make it right...” I said at last after a moment of silence.

"You better do..." Jay said while making his way to the Palace again.

Ugh… It really sucks to be me right now…

I'm so excited!!! We have amazing ideas for future chapters!!

Stay Yourself And Never Change!
