Jaya: Hate to Love (A Not So Valentine's Day Special)

Chapter 5

"Talk," was all the two were told before the door slammed behind them. Nya tore off her blindfold.

"You!" She yelled at him. Jay quickly took off his blindfold.

"What?" He glanced at the near-empty room-- minus two desks. "You're not cotton candy!"

Nya crossed her arms and glared at him. "Seriously?" She raised an eyebrow. "Cotton candy is what it took to get you up here?" 

"Yes. I for one like cotton candy." He crossed his arms. Nya snickered and tried very hard not to break into a fit of laughter.

Jay sharply looked at her. "When we get out of here, you're buying me cotton candy."

Nya rolled her eyes. "Dream on."

"I'm curious to see what got you up here." 

"Nothing. Kai dragged me up here against my will."

"If I see Kai with claw marks, I'm assuming you did it."

"You really think I'm that ruthless?" 

Jay flinched. "More than that."

Nya smirked. "Good." She walked over to the window and sighed. It was way too small for her to climb through. She threw her backpack on the floor and dragged the only other desk in the room away from Jay. 

"Really? You don't want to try and be nice to me? Our friends locked us in this room for a reason."

"Nope," she answered, taking out her homework.

"I have feelings y'know." 

"That I care nothing about." Nya stared at her math homework on imaginary numbers. Why was there such thing as imaginary numbers anyway? They made no sense. "Argh!" She threw her pencil.

"Need any help?" 

"No, no, I'm fine," she grumbled. Before she knew it, Jay had gotten up and grabbed her pencil off the floor. 

"Imaginary numbers are pretty easy," Jay started to explain. 

"They make zero sense. How am I supposed to do math with something made up!?" 

Jay began to write on her paper. "You just have to do this, this, and solve the equation."

"That's-that's pretty simple."

"See, it's not so hard." Nya did another problem on her worksheet to verify. 

"I-I guess it isn't. T-t" Nya's eyes went to her paper again. She didn't want to admit it, but she was grateful for what Jay did. Jay could tell what she was trying to say. She hadn't been that genuine to him in four years. 

"You used to." Nya's head shot up and she looked at Jay.

"I used to what?"

"You used to care about me." Her eyes narrowed. "Don't you remember when we could actually stand to be around each other? More than that, actually."

"Shut up." Nya didn't want to remember. She couldn't remember. Bringing up the past was something she couldn't handle. No one else knew except for Jay, and he didn't even know half of it. But Jay kept on talking:

"We were so-" Jay got cut off by Nya's hand covering-more like smacking- his mouth. Jay pulled her hand away. "What was that for!?!"

"SHH! I hear something." Nya looked at the window and slowly walked toward it. Outside she saw a... pirate ship? Jay came over to the window too, just in time to see the ship's anchor be thrown into a glass building. "We have to go and help!"
