Greenflame

Chapter 9

  Lloyd sat by the window of his room and stared at Kai, who was training outside.

  "Hey Lloyd, whatcha looking at?" Jay inquired as he plopped down beside Lloyd.

  "Um... nothing!" Lloyd lied.

  "You can't fib even if your life depended on it," Jay stated while shaking his head.

  "I'm not lying!" Lloyd lied once more.

  "'Sure', and my dad's Cyrus Borg," Jay replied sarcastically.

  Lloyd rolled his eyes before looking at Kai involuntarily again.

  "So... whatcha looking at? Ooh, it's Kai! Do you have a crush on him?" Jay questioned his leader.

  "Y-yes! I mean no! I meant no!" Lloyd sputtered randomly.

  "You sound worst than me," Jay commented while shaking his head.  

  "What?" Lloyd asked in shock.

  "Anyway, why do you like Kai? Is it because he saved your life?" Jay inquired curiously.

  "Um... maybe. He saved my life more than once. He saved me from dying in the volcano, he helped me fight Morro, he saved my life countless times." Lloyd explained.

  "Maybe you should tell him how you feel, it isn't good to harbour these feelings. You know what happens when you express your feelings, you end up with a great person like me!" Jay exclaimed.

  "Oh no," Lloyd stated as Jay walked off.

  "My advice is quite shocking!" Jay joked before laughing at his horrible pun.

  Lloyd sat by the window shaking his head in disappointment. Soon he returned to his post of watching Kai.

  Should I listen to Jay's advice about Kai? Is it healthy for me to harbour these feelings? It would only get worst as I continued to hide it. Cole and Jay already know, I guess I should consult my uncle or Zane before though. Lloyd wondered before he heard someone knock at his door.

  "I sense something's troubling you," Zane observed, walking into his room with a curious expression.
