Chaos | A Ninjago High School AU

Chapter 10

*16 days later*

Skylor's POV

I walk into school with my head held high. Everything has been going in my favor lately. My dad has been a bit more lenient, which means that I have more freedom. Harumi has been gone more, which I can't complain about. It's a shock when I see her with all of the other girls, huddled around a table.

When I walk closer, I see what the commotion is about. Jay Walker is sitting at a table in the front of the quad, and on the front of the table, there is a big sign that reads "homecoming court sign ups". In the chair next to Jay, Kai's sister, Nya, sits, writing something down.

"Oh my gosh, thank goodness you're here! We were getting worried," Harumi grabs my wrist, pulling me over to the table. "Sign up. I need it to look like I had real competition when I win. Plus, we can be the hottest homecoming court the school has ever seen. Chamille, Mackenzie, PIXAL, and I already signed up. We need a fifth to finish the council with our superiority."

"The council looks fun," I admit, looking at the paper that explains everything they need to do. All ten members have to attend the dance for the crowning, and all five have to dress up for the spirit days all week. I take the clipboard, signing down my name and contact information.

"Let me guess, you're signing up too, Nya. Are you going to turn your whole campaign into a big 'save the Earth?' awareness thing instead?" Harumi glares at her while Nya doesn't pay any attention to her. "Listen to me." Harumi slaps the notebook out of Nya's hand, sending it flying into the floor. While Jay goes to get it, Nya glares at Harumi.

"Maybe if you weren't so obtuse you'd remember that I'm a junior, and juniors can't run for homecoming court," she tells Harumi calmly, giving Jay a small smile when he brings her back her notebook.

If I'm being honest, I've wanted to have a conversation with Nya for a while now. I don't want her to think of me as a Harumi clone. I want to show her that not all of her brother's friends are jerks.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you bribed your boy toy into letting you run just so you could beat me," she leans forward, eyeing the two of them. Jay seems anxious, but Nya just looks annoyed.

"I'm sorry Harumi, but I don't obsess over you nearly as much as you obsess over me. I don't need to prove myself to you," she smirks, looking back down at her drawing.

Harumi, never not having the last word, decides to speak up again,"How did you convince Jay to be friends with you even with me assuring social death to whoever joins you? Did you tell him about all the stuff you and Cole used to do and tell him you'd do it with him also? If you did, you'll need to do a lot of stuff together because you and Cole were never not touching..."

"Shut up Harumi," Nya glares at Harumi.

"I remember one time I was at your house, and you were doing stuff with Cole. You two were so loud that Kai and I could hear you throughout the whole house..."

"Shut up Harumi!" Nya snaps, giving Harumi the satisfaction she wanted. Harumi gets a huge smirk on her face.

"I'll always win Nya. Besides, you know you still want Cole. You can't tell me you've never craved how he use to sneak into your room in the middle of the night and..."

"Stop tormenting my sister, Harumi. It's not cute," Kai rolls his eyes when he walks over, grabbing the empty boy's clipboard and signing up. He's with Morro, Griffin, and Cole. The three of them sign their names after Kai.

"Where's your fifth? The court has five people, Kai," Harumi questions. Kai shrugs.

"There's four of us. I wasn't going to randomly find a fifth person to fill a spot," he explains.
