After training with the rest of the ninja, I went home to train on my own accord. Well, actually, I went home and went to sleep. Now it's Saturday and I'm training today. I was determined to learn how to use nunchucks. I looked up videos and tutorials and watched them, carefully trying to copy their every move with my own nunchucks as I watched. I learned how to hold them and the proper way to swing them. I have a lot of empty space in my room, so I don't really have to worry about hitting anything. Anything other than myself, anyway.

I ended up hitting myself with the nunchucks more times than I'd like to admit. I hit my arms, my ribs, and even my legs. And of course I continued to hit myself in the face, but it's probably impossible to avoid. I actually ended up knocking one of my teeth loose. It's fine, though. I'm sure it's probably fine...

Come to think of it, when we were training yesterday, I didn't see Lloyd's black eye... He probably covers it up with makeup. That's something I should probably do...

-_-_-_-_-_-_-

The rest of the weekend passed and Monday crept up on me quicker than it seemed. I woke up, knowing that today is the day I finally get to come back to school from my suspension. How... exciting...

I hop out of bed and put my clothes on. I look at myself in the mirror and see my face covered in bruises. Over the weekend, I actually went out and bought some makeup to cover my bruises with. I don't know what it's called. I think it's concealer? I know absolutely nothing about makeup, but I've seen my mom use this stuff before, so I just picked whichever color matched my skin and bought it.

I look at myself in the mirror and put some of the product onto my fingers and put it over the spots that I had so recklessly bruised. I make sure to cover every inch of black and blue that littered my face. I can't have anyone figuring out I'm The Wind Ninja. I'm sure Lloyd would be the first to notice.

After I apply the makeup, I finish up the rest of my morning routine. So, basically, I just play with my hair until it looks decent, grab my bag and head out the door.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-

When I arrive at school, I make my way through the hall and to my locker. Everyone is looking at me and I can hear them whisper behind my back. They're most likely not over the fight.

I approach my locker and go to shove my backpack inside. I actually had my ninja suit inside. Just in case.

While I'm at my locker, I hear someone approach me from the side. I turn to look at them.

It's Kai. He probably doesn't have anything very nice to say to me...

"Oh, uh, Kai..." was all I could say as he walked up to me.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to make fun of you or anything. I just... wanted to say I'm sorry, I guess? I know what Chen did has nothing to do with me, but as his... uh... friend... I should probably say I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Really? Uh... thanks, but, uh... out of all of the people you should be apologizing to is Lloyd. He's probably more upset than I am," I tell him.

"Really? I didn't even think of that... Do you know where he is?" He asks.

"He's probably already at first period. You want me to take you to him?"

"Yeah..." Kai seems a bit upset. I can tell he's genuinely sorry for what Chen did.

Kai follows me to my first period class, where I knew Lloyd would probably be, and of course, there he was. Sitting silently in his own seat. His black eye was beginning to fade just a small bit, but it was still very prominent. This also proves my theory that Lloyd uses makeup to cover the injury when he wears The Green Ninja suit.
