(DISCONTINUED) The Girl Who Didn't Belong (Lloyd x Reader)

Ch.18 Wrong Place Wrong Time

(A/N): Y'all, I'm shook. I just realized that (Y/N) is basically like Kid Gohan from DBZ. THAT'S HILARIOUS TO ME, TBH.

Also SHOUTOUTS to holly90897275 , CrystalFuzzyfire , ppgzrrbz , and kernce444 for nominating me for The Fanfiction Award 2018! I really appreciate it, and I also appreciate the rest of you guys, too, for taking the time off your days to read my story! Thank you!

~(Y/N)'s POV~

"Your new bodies are a fighting instrument," says Sensei.

My new body sucks. It's an instrument of torture. After looking into the mirror for the first time with this body, I saw that I have more scales than I did before. I've been having nightmares left and right. My mind is bothering me to no end. I knew being a teenager meant that I'm going to start thinking about life more and it's worth, but I didn't think it'd go to this extent. Teenagers are one factors of the highest rate of...um, sleeping and never waking up. I already knew this and now I'm experiencing why. I can't focus. Life is so harsh on me, even more than when I was a kid. I had a feeling that being a teenager was going to have some sort of down side and now I know.

   No one knows that I'm feeling this way, though. That's good. I don't want them to worry about me. Lloyd is the only one suspicious right because of how I've been behaving lately. I've been kind of distant. Not too much, but I don't say the jokes I usually would when the time would come. I space out a lot more than usual. Since I've been awake a lot, in fear of nightmares, I've developed eye bags. I'm tired a lot. Okay, maybe the others are suspicious, too, now that I think of it. Still, though, I'm able to do a lot more than people would think when someone's tired.

   Lloyd and I continue to train, learning a lot faster than when we were children. Well, Lloyd is, at least. I just pretend like I don't know for the first couple rounds then suddenly become a master at it.

   Lloyd and Kai are having a little spinoff after Lloyd and I took care of the other three—even the poor watermelon that Nya is holding. Lloyd is holding onto the blade of Kai's weapon as they both push in opposite directions, making said weapon stay in place. He ends up using his powers, almost blowing up the poor weapon until Kai pulls back. Honestly, if Lloyd was gonna take that long for his power to come out, he would've had a better chance of beating Kai. Just saying. Er, thinking.

   Kai chuckles and helps Lloyd up, "You're getting pretty good, but that move you fell for was basic 101."

   I suppress a yawn and giggle silently instead at the unintentional pun.

   "Yeah, if I had focused more when I was little, I would have seen that coming," Lloyd agrees.

   "I mean, yeah, we were little," I say, "which is why we didn't even bother until we grow up—like now."

   "We cannot change the past, but we can improve for the future," says Sensei. "Again, and this time, do not hold back. (Y/N), come with me. I need to speak with you for a moment."

   "Oh, uh... Yes, Sensei," I say, a little confused about what he needs.

   Did I do something wrong without realizing? DID HE SEE ME SNATCH A SCROLL I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO SNATCH?? We walk outside the training room and close the door.

   "I notice you are not as active as you can be," says Sensei. "What seems to be troubling you?"

   "O-Oh, um, nothing," I deny, painfully obvious that I'm lying. Sensei just raises an eyebrow with a patient expression. I sigh. I can't really hide anything from Sensei that much, especially in the state that I'm in. "It's just... Since I got this new body, you'd think I could use this to my advantage, but... It's been really hard on me. I haven't had a good night rest in a while. I've been getting cramps on my lower abdominal area recently and I don't understand why. Because of this, I haven't been able to keep up with eating either since I feel like it's something to do with what I'm eating. I-I don't know... This is all just...really knew for me."
