[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

.Chapter 5.

“Just kidding!” I said, when I noticed Kenny had turned white and had a face of complete horror. I felt slightly sorry for playing such a cruel prank on him. We knew he had put all his effort in it, partly his way of saying thank you for letting him and the rest of his friends stay with us, for Rei had told us the very next day. “We're just kidding Kenny. We wouldn't do that. Thanks for the beyblades. Now all we need is to learn how to beyblade!” I reassured him quite stiffly, almost expecting him to cry.

But he didn't.

*First day of ninth grade*

“Lucky I've been to this school many times, so I know all the ways in and out and around it!” Teresa boasted while Lydia drove. Everybody either rolled their eyes, sighed in exasperation, or restrained the wish to strangle her. She had mentioned that many times.

“Okay then, you can help Tyson get around. He's totally irresponsible and probably will get lost quickly.” Lydia told her roughly.

“Hey, I haven't done anything to you!” Tyson protested.

“Yes you have!”

“No I haven't! I would ever do such things!”

“Remember the time you stepped on my foot on purpose, then the time you woke me up with a chainsaw held above my head, the time that-”

“Okay, okay I get it!” Lydia smiled triumphantly even though nobody saw it.

“Do they have a beystadium?” Max asked.

“NO THEY DON'T! THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS BEYBLADE ON THIS CITY!” Eleven other teens didn't lose the opportunity to remind the blond.

“Oh.” He shrunk in his seat on the truck. “You know Lydia, I was wondering. How come were all fifteen, except Kai and Rei, but you're driving?”

“Max, leave that to me. You just go wonder if the moon is made out of cheese.” Lydia answered, pulling over to park the truck in the student parking lot.

After everybody got out of the car, we all went our own separate ways.

Well almost.

Rei and I had the same first-period class, and Teresa, Tyson and Daichi shared a class too, and from there on, it was loners for everyone else.

When the cat-boy and I reached the class, and we chose some random spot to sit down, another girl came in. Since I had decided, out of the blue, to sit on the back and Rei preferred the front, the tall blonde girl with slutty clothes used the opportunity to sit next to a good-looking boy, namely Rei. The teacher was very late to her first day of work, so all everybody did most of the period was talk, talk, talk, and to variate, talk. I sat back on my seat and watched everybody, then when I got bored of seeing mostly ugly guys and snobby girls, took out my Tala pictures and watched them with star eyes. I didn't notice that that girl sitting next to Rei had already asked him out.

In Teresa's, Daichi's and Tyson's class, two girls that so conveniently ended up in that class already made Daichi and Tyson fall head over heels for them. Same with Max, on his special-ed class.

Just kidding, it's not special ed. It was Chemistry. Point is, another girl had made one of the BladeBreakers fall for her.

As with quiet, cold, mean, lonely Kai.

“You might as well,” the orange-haired girl suggested to Kai, taking out a folded paper and showing it to him. At first he refused to see it, then, because of her constant insisting, he read it. His crimson eyes widened slightly. (I know in G-Rev he has magenta/some other color eyes, but I changed them to crimson because I like those better.) “That's why you might as well go out with me.” She said, flicking her hair back with a snobby face.

After school, walking towards the blue truck alone, even though I had had Daichi for my last period, I looked back and saw the orange-haired girl that gave Kai some money.

I shuddered; that fast had he gotten a date? I had thought he was impossible to get to, much less ask out. Somehow that slut had gotten the golden Kai award or something. I opened the truck with my spare key and for some strange reason slammed the sliding door with fury.

`Nah-uh. You like Tala, you little girl!' I banged my head on the window.

“Hi man-whore. Have a good first school day?” I asked spitefully.

“None of your business.” He growled at me and sat on the seat behind, which was as far away from me as he could get.

“What, she actually paid you instead of you paying her?” I joked, sneering though he couldn't see.

“It doesn't have to do anything with that.” He muttered, looking out the window, probably praying to the gods everybody got there quickly.

`Hm…I have the key, so I could just kick her out and drive myself home. Let them walk.' He smirked at the thought of me falling out of the moving truck while he was driving, and then my corpse being run over countless times by cars, trucks, vans, buses and the biggest prize: a trailer! `Nah…she'll be dead the moment she touches the ground. What about…' He was about to come up with a gruesome way for me to die when Max greeted cheerily and jumped into the truck, hitting Kai with his backpack accidentally.

`Well he did deserve that.' I almost laughed.

“Oh, I'm sorry Kai.” He looked warily at Kai, expecting to be punched. Then, to me, “Hey Ceci guess what! I got a date!” He said with his big eyes sparkling.

“Good for you.” I flashed him the `thumbs up' sign, just like Marisol had done to him about a week ago. Really, between us it meant, `good-for-you-now-will-you-shut-the-freak-up because-nobody-cares?' Of course, the naive member of the BladeBreakers did not know that and did not imagine the meaning.

“Yeah, her name's Shali and she-” The starry-eyed Max, who had probably never been asked out before, continued his description of some person I sincerely did not care about. I tuned out and dreamed about Tala.

Luckily for suffering me and Kai, since Max would never stop talking about `Shali', the rest of the gang did not take long to arrive. Lydia opened the driver's door and slammed it so hard she broke the handle, because she had seen the girl that had asked Rei out.

Sincerely, me and Marisol did not care about all those things, I was waiting for a guy like Tala or Tala himself, and she was waiting for…someone. I got sick of hearing `going out.' I had probably thought that day well over ten billion times that if I heard those words ever again, I would puke on the blasphemer that uttered the words, then I would dissect them just like a frog and hang their guts on the mountain, then stuff them with straw and hang them on my roof like an early Halloween decoration.

Teresa…well, let's say the little hormone-crazy integrant of our group had already three boyfriends. Lydia had been brooding over Rei for the past week or so, that explained the overall hostility towards him, and Amanda and Tai…they look cute together. I can't say anything else because Amanda would kill me.

Kenny was completely clueless about the situation, since that day he had become all the teachers' most favorite student because of his astounding brilliance.

In that day's beyblade practice, I kinda felt a little sick from my stomach. Either it was the school lunch or melancholy.

“Kenny, I think this'll be all for me today. I feel weird.” I explained to him hoarsely, and then made my way inside the house.

Just out of curiosity, I phoned Mr. Dickenson really quickly.

“Hello, BBA Headquarters. Dickenson speaking.”

“Hi Mr. D. How are you?” I said politely.

“Oh, it's Ceci! How are you? Are the boys behaving themselves?”

“Yeah…you know Mr. , I was wondering, if they all got dates the same exact day, wouldn't it seem weird to you?”

“Well they are boys and I assume they would be pretty popular. But did they? Even Kenny?”

“No, I don't think Kenny did. Only Daichi, Tyson, Max, Rei and Kai.”

“That seems very strange. Not that I'm saying that Kenny doesn't deserve any attention, I'm just saying that it is pretty suspicious that the same exact day. I expected it rather at different days, which would be the most logical thing.”

“Uh-huh. What are you exactly saying?” I said to rush him.

“All I'm saying is that you should inspect this more closely, Ceci.”

“What! I'm not going into these annoying boys' personal lives! If they want to do…stuff, they can, as long as we get our payment for putting up with them!”

“I am paying you for doing exactly that. These boys are not the most common ones in the world, and even there, in your home city, they may be persecuted. I just heard Kai's grandfather got out of jail.”

“What a happy little family we have there. An old geezer in jail. What'd he do?” I asked casually, not expecting something important.

“Basically tried to take over the world using Kai's beyblade abilities and desire to be the best `blader in the world.” I almost choked on a cherry I had picked from the nearby dining room table.

“What?”

“See what I mean? I don't really trust Voltaire, so I say you inspect this immediately.”
