Unusual

Kai's POV:

It wasn't until the next day that I got back home with the rest. Skylar had suggested I stay the night with her. Best might of my life if I'm being honest. As soon as I open the door of the monastery Nya jumped onto me.

"Hey!" I fall to the ground, looking up to see my very mad sister.

"Where were you!? You said you be back later last night!" Her eyes looked tired. Guess she was up working again. Jay is terrible at making sure she sleeps, I should have been there to make sure she got enough rest. Damn it.

"I'm sorry." I get up and rub the durt from my shirt off. "Let's just forget about it. You look like you should rest. Why do you look so tired?" She rolls her eyes at me. Nya knew I was trying to change the subject.

"I was working. Again." She turn so we can head inside and that's when I notice the mark on her hand. It looked like a burn.

"What's that?" I grab her hand but she quickly pulls away.

"Nothing. Um- Zane left you some breakfast in the fridge." Then she rushed off to her room. What was going on? Slowly I head over to the fridge. Like she said, some eggs were there with my name on it. Literally. Zane had spelt my name on it with ketchup. I laugh at the thought of him working on it, but stop when I see the plate by it. Cole. He never liked ketchup so there was just a paper with his name on it. Cole never wasted food, he must have not been here this morning. Why though? Suddenly I hear the door open. When I turn to see who it was, I see Cole. His undereyes dark, and his body so clumsy it oooked at if he would fall over.

"Cole!" I rush over to his side, trying to grab his arm so he's more stable bur he just pulls away gently. "Are you ok? What happened?" He looked at me, smiling slightly, sadness in his eyes. Why was everything do weird?

"I'm fine, I just uh- got lost I guess." He laughs nervously and heads for the stairs.

"Zane left you some breakfast!" I call after if, but he just waves me off. He wasn't ok. With a sigh, I go to eat the eggs that were left for me. When I finish I hear a ding come from my phone. It was Skylar.

She didn't ancwer after that. Maybe she's busy. A small sigh leaves my mouth and I begin to head upstairs to my room but stop at Nya's door. It was slightly open. Maybe I could see what's going on. Slowly, I make it so I can see through the crack. Nya was on her bed, but not alone. Cole was sitting with her. What was going on? They were talking bur I could barely hear anything. The most hearable word there was the name Skylar. Were they talking about her?

"Dude you ok?" Jay was standing right behind me, making me jump.

"Don't scare me like that!" I push him away from Nya's room and to my own. "Don't tell her I was there ok!?" He looked confused.

"Why were you even looking through her door?" There was a small package in his hands which he fiddled with as he talked.

"I don't know... I'm just worried I guess." I look away from him. There was a picture on the side of my bed of me and Nya was children. The only picture we were able to get together. "When I come home today I saw a burn make on her hand but she didn't tell me what it was from... and she looked really tired." When I look back to Jay I could see the consurn in his eyes. He must have not known about all this.

"She told me she was going to bed though- and I thought-" He stops and looks to the ground. She tryed to fool him. Great. Something was definitely going on.

"Cole was in her room." Jay looked up at me quickly when I saw that. "I don't know why though. He also seemed off. Your his best friend. What's up with him?" I can see as he trys to suppress a small smile.

"I don't know! Uh- imma go check on nya." He smiles nervously and rushes out of the room. Great, was everyone avoiding me? An angry groan leaves my mouth as I fall onto my bed. Why was everything to unusual now? What happened?
