Chapter 9
Cole
With Lloyd and Summer missing, the whole monastery has gone into full panic mode. Well, not everyone. Nya, Jay and Misako are the ones freaking out the most, with Jay worried about his mum finding out about his sister, Nya worried that she should've been watching Summer and Misako just worried about Lloyd overall. Zane, Kai and I just watched from a distance so we don't get involved and Sensei's just sipping on his tea. How can he so calm when everyone else is practically freaking out?! I hope Lloyd and Summer come back soon for everyone else's sanity.
Summer
Lloyd and I walked together to karaoke hut together and just talked a bit more. He showed me a picture of when he was a kid on his phone and I honestly thought he looked so adorable as a kid. I began to tell Lloyd about the song I sang last night, Shatter Me.
"Shatter Me is about breaking free and rediscovering who you are and being OK with that person," I say as we turn the corner.
"Cool," Lloyd responds, "Hey look, there it is," he adds, pointing to the karaoke hut at the end of the street.
"OK, who's going first?" I ask after we enter and sit comfortably in the room. There was a family next door having a blast. I smile. That was us last night. And now it's just Lloyd and I tonight.
"I will," Lloyd answers and he goes up to type in the name of the song. He then walks to the centre of the room so he's in front of the screen. Then 'The Vamps - Somebody to You' appears on the screen and he begins to sing.
Yeah you!
Yeah you!
I used to wanna be
Living like there's only me
But now I spend my time
Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind
(Yeah you!)
I used to be so tough
Never really gave enough
And then you caught my eye
Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
I used to ride around
I didn't wanna settle down
But now I wake each day
Looking for a way that I can see your face
(Yeah you!)
I've got your photograph
But baby I need more than that
I need to know your lips
Nothing ever mattered to me more than this
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
Oh oh oh, now!
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
Everybody's tryna be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Look at me now, I'm falling
I can't even talk, still stuttering
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah you!)
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
All I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
'Cause all I wanna be, yeah all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah
Is somebody to you
(Yeah you!)
Yeah you!
Lloyd
I finish the song and turn around to see Summer clapping, a huge smile on her face.
"Lloyd, what message are you trying to get across here?" she asks, stopping clapping slowly.
"Uh... I..." I stutter. She giggles.
"Don't worry, I get the message," Summer stands up and takes the microphone of me, "My turn." But just then, the door opens and two people come in. A tall boy with dark brown hair and a girl with platinum blonde hair came in and glanced around, their eyes gazing around the room, before landing on Summer and I.
"Um excuse me," I cleared my throat, "But we're using this room in case you didn't notice."
"Oh sorry," the girl says, giving me a really fake smile. Hey, after being attacked by millions of fan girls over the years, you can tell the difference between a normal smile and a fake one. "But you're going to have to leave now."
"And why is that" Summer asks darkly, narrowing her eyes.
"Ooh aren't we getting grouchy huh?" the girl laughs which sounds high pitch and annoying.
"Listen buddy, we just want to-"The boy says before stopping himself, his gaze locked onto Summer, giving off a look of disgust, "Summer? What are YOU doing here?" I turn to Summer who had stiffen when he said her name. "R-r-r-ryan..." she stutters, looking scared. What did he do to make her scared?
********************************************************************************************
Kai
Well, it's still total chaos here. Jay, Nya and Misako are still freaking out about Lloyd and Summer while the rest of us (Sensei, Cole, Zane and I) still stand on the side lines. I groaned in frustration.
"Where the heck are Lloyd and Summer?!" I ask, tossing a scrunched up ball of paper in the bin.
"Dunno. We've looked everywhere," Cole answers, "We've looked in the Monastery, the forest surrounding it, Nya's secret cave, Birchwood Forest and the Sea of Sand," He groans, rubbing his head. "Zane, where haven't we look?"
"We haven't looked in New Ninjago City," he answers, "But-"
"But what are we waiting for?!" I interrupt quickly, heading towards our room to get changed, "Let's go!"
"BUT we it will take longer to find them there than the time we spent in the Sea of Sand," Zane calls out and I immediately stop in my tracks. Seriously?!
********************************************************************************************
Summer
Oh no! Ryan is here! What's he doing here with Darcy?! I think I'd rather face Mum than have to deal with them. Ryan and Darcy is the school's 'Number one couple' and they've been picking on me since we they found out I didn't get a date for the first dance our high school life but the worst case happened a couple months ago. Ryan went up to me and convinced me that he loved me and was teasing me to get my attention. And of course, I fell for it. Ryan took me on a date but when I stepped into the restaurant, a bucket of rubbish from the restaurant bins was dropped onto me. Everyone laughed at me and I was on the front page of 'Ninjago Times'. They humiliated me in front of millions of people and the date was just the bait to lure me in.
"So garbage girl here huh?" Darcy smirked coming over to me, "I thought you wouldn't show your face in the city after that incident."
"Leave me alone!" I shout, "Haven't you done enough to me?! You've already humiliated me in front of all of Ninjago! Isn't that enough?!" I can see Lloyd's confused face on the side lines. I want him out of this.
"Hmm let me think about it," Darcy says, thoughtfully, "NAH! We just can't get enough of you." she shoves me and I fall onto the couch.
"Enough of embarrassing you that is," Ryan smirks, coming up next to Darcy, "You're a nobody Summer, you'll never fit in wherever you go. In fact I think this guy here agrees with me right?" He turns to Lloyd, who looks shocked at Ryan's words. I have to get out of here now! I kick Ryan and Darcy in the stomach with both feet and run for it, out of the hut and into the dark alleyway. I lean against the wall and slide down and wrap my arms around my legs and cry into my knees. What did I do the deserve this?...
Lloyd
"Leave her alone!" I shout angrily, "Look, I don't know what's going on but I want to know what she did to deserve this now!"
"Oh do you want to know now huh?" the girl asks slyly, "Ryan, tell him."
"Well firstly she kicked the both of us in the stomach," he starts.
"That was self-defence. Haven't you heard of it?" I say, "But from what I can see, you can't even handle one kick." I smirk.
"Oh yeah?! I'll show you!" Ryan lunges at me and I just simply step the side and he runs into the couch.
"Ryan!" The girl screams and runs to his side. She turns to glare at me, her face full of rage, "What did you do, you monster?!"
Nothing," I just shrugged.
"Oh you will get it! For Ryan!" she shouts, running up to me.
"Darcy! No!" Ryan shouts. Darcy launches a roundhouse kick at me but I quickly block it and step the side again and she falls to the ground. I grab Summer's bag and quickly leave the hut.
"Summer! Where are you?" I call out but no reply. I walk down the street but I stop after a couple meters because I can hear someone sobbing in the alleyway on my left. I turn in and immediately spot Summer in the darkness.
"Wh-wh-who's there?" she asks, not looking up.
"It's me." She turns around and faces me.
"Listen I don't want to talk about it right now. Can we please go home?" I nod silently and form my dragon.
********************************************************************************************
We're halfway home as the night breeze flies by us. Summer has fallen asleep from exhaustion, her tear-stained facing away from me.
We started off incredible
Connection undeniable
I swear I thought you were the one forever
What? What is that?
But your love was like a loaded gun
You shot me down like everyone
'Cause everyone's replaceable
When you're just so incapable
Of getting past skin deep
Maybe it's my phone playing music. But I don't know this song so I'll check Summer's phone.
Guess what, another game over
I got burned, but you're the real loser
I don't know why I've wasted my time with you
I turned on Summer's phone but no music is playing. What's going on?
You're bad news, a history repeater
You can't trust a serial cheater
You're good at hooking up but you suck at love
I turn around and I see something rather weird. A light blue outline was surrounding Summer and there were parts that would jot outwards, like sound waves and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Summer can create and invisible music stereo with her Static power and she can play music. Wow...
You played me like an amateur
Then stabbed me like a murderer
I'm left for dead, another one of your victims
It's not like you're unpredictable
But your act is so believable
I know it's nothing personal, it's just business as usual
You're good at what you do
Guess what, another game over
I got burned, but you're the real loser
I don't know why I've wasted my time with you
You're bad news, a history repeater
You can't trust a serial cheater
You're good at hooking up but you suck at love
And I listened to the song for the rest of the trip. I'll have to ask Summer for the song later.
Now I kinda feel bad for you
You're never gonna know
what it's like to have someone to turn to
Another day, another bed
It's just a game inside your head
Guess what, another game over
I got burned, but you're the real loser
I don't know why I've wasted my time with you
You're bad news, a history repeater
You can't trust a serial cheater
You're good at hooking up but you suck at love
Guess what, another game over
I got burned, but you're the real loser
I don't know why I've wasted my time with you
You're bad news, a history repeater
You can't trust a serial cheater
You're good at hooking up but you suck at love
You've messed this whole thing up
Well you were such an awesome f**k
But you suck at love, you suck at love
We finally reach the monastery and I land just outside Summer and Nya's bedroom window. I climb through carrying Summer bridal style and lay her down gently on her make-shift bed and cover her with her blanket.
"Oh I don't know where they can be!" I jerk her head up at the sound of Nya's voice just outside the room when I was about to climb back out. Oh crap! They were worrying about us! I gotta get back to my room now! I sprint to the my bedroom window and climb in and start changing into my PJs immediately. I just got back into bed when the door opens.
"Hey Lloyd's in bed."
"But he wasn't there when we checked a couple hours ago."
"Hey, Summer's in her bed as well."
Well, I don't know what happened but now it's time for bed. We'll question Lloyd and Summer tomorrow."
"Yes Sensei."
I breath out in relief. I hope they won't find out what we were doing or I'll never hear the end of it...
