yo remember: this is a different timeline and Morro is not the first student k? k. enjoy
As I lie in my cot, unable to sleep, I suddenly feel eyes watching me. I glance to my right, and I see the boy watching me. He pretends to be asleep. I do too.
---
Train. Again. Sharper. Harder. Harder! Aim. Watch. Flip. Duck. Throw. That becomes my world. Sensei never looks at me the same after he finds the boy. I train harder, I become stronger, a true ninja. But it's never enough. I am forgotten.
The boy's name is Morro. He doesn't talk much. I have fought him during training, and even though he is strong, I am always stronger. But Sensei always encourages him, and never me. I never get the supplies any more. Always him.
Yet I feel myself giving in to his sweet smile and kind, soft eyes. But he is competition.
---
Soon, I find myself sitting out in the grassy field, telling his everything. And he tells me in return. It's fake. But I know it's not. He is sincere. It shows on his face. I enjoy our training sessions together, even though it hurts to see Sensei ignore me.

But nothing lasts forever. When Master Wu comes back from trips. he brings us gifts. For instance, on the most recent one, he was gone for a long while. I receive an engraved, super sharp throwing knife. Grale receives new tools, to replace his worn out ones. Starla gets a polishing kit for her many daggers and swords. And Morro gets a kite and his first real sword.
That night, before dinner, Sensei shows Morro how to use the kite. Grale calls Sensei to help him with something, and leaves Morro for a short second. I watch from the shadows, and suddenly, the breeze blows through my hair, ruffling it like an older brother.
Master comes back, and stands shocked at what he sees. I peek around and look, and... is Morro using the kite without using his hands?
"I think you may be the green ninja," I overhear.
"Really?" says Morro, in his straggly, strangely mature voice.
I stand there in disbelief. Oh ho ho, now you see. It was never to be. You fool. He is everything you've trained for. But maybe he isn't..? I run back to my quarters, and flop down to my cot. Starla comes in and asks me if I'm coming to dinner.
I hear myself say, "I'm not hungry."
Starla walks out, and I feel my heart crack in two. A stream of hot tears pours out of my eyes. Such a shame. It was never meant to be you, but you got your hopes up. You were excited. You showed emotions. Never again. Never. I feel like I've been swallowed by a vortex. Maybe I have been. I wish it was so. But, life is unfair.

Starla's Pov:(a few days later)
Something has changed with both Morro and Clove. What if you were dead? Hmm, it's probably nothing. But Clove seems to be training harder. Stab your leg. I mean, they've always been hard working, but this is intense. But, Morro, on the other hand, is totally out of sorts. He's become violent. No one loves you. He goes crazy at training, yelling at us. It's cracked Wu, finally. Why are you here? Morro said something about being the green ninja, but I don't know what he meant.
---
Clove's Pov:
I have to train. I am stronger. I am better. I am the real green ninja. not him. Wu is wrong.
---
Morro's Pov:
It's unfair! Why won't Master let me train against him? If I'm the green ninja, I need better competition! That Clove has horrible form. They've only beaten me once! Just let me know already!
Yo 2 parts in one day! i hope you like this, and if you did, let me know what you want to see in the next part! k bai!!
