16-Kenny POV
was really acting weird. I thought as I ran to the computer shop. Gradually, I slowed my pace as I got nearer and nearer to the shop.
"There's no rush, Chief. Your friend is still at the hotel." My laptop spoke. I called her Dizzi, short for Dizzara.
"I guess you're right." I responded. By now, I slowed to a walk.
"You guess? I'm always right." Dizzi argued. I ignored her for the moment and kept on walking.
I got to the shop, I looked around for a bit while I waited for Destiny.
"Hey, Kenny!" a voice called from behind me.
"J-Jacquie." I stuttered, "Nice to see you!"
"Hey, have you seen Des anywhere?" she asked me.
"No, she'll be here soon, though. She said that she needed my help with her computer." I explained. I wondered why Dizzi was so quiet. Usually, she'd be sticking her two cents straight in my face.
"Really" she shook her head, "I really doubt she'll show."
"What makes you say that?" I asked.
turned a pale and very unnoticeable shade of red, "Oh no reason. It doesn't matter if she doesn't show up right, we can just check out the computers and hang out."
"Sure." I accepted politely. Now, I had a chance to hang out with Jacquie at one of my favorite places in the town.
about an hour of looking at countless hard drives, keyboards, and mice, no not real mice computer mice, Jacquie and I decided to walk around town.
"Do you blade, too?" she asked.
"Well I-" I began, before being interrupted by Dizzi.
"He does, but he's not the best at it." She teased.
"What was that?" Jacquie looked around.
"That was just Dizzi, she's my laptop." I explained.
"Excuse me, but I'm a bitbeast IN your laptopo, mind you, Chief." She corrected me.
"Okay you're the bitbeast inside my laptop." I rolled my eyes.
"That's cool!" Jacquie grinned, "Nice to meet ya!"
"She's polite, Chief." Dizzi complimented, then added, "I can see why you like her!"
felt my face turn red. I opened my mouth to speak but not a sound came out. Dizzi just continued her ranting.
"He talks about you all the time. Even Rei is starting to get fed up."
"Really?" Jacquie asked, "That's so Thanks, I guess."
"D-dizzi exaggerates a lot. But I d-do talk about you." I lied slightly, and surprisingly, smoothly.
"Why?"
"She's a bitbeast. Dizzi is supposed to exaggerate."
"No, I mean why do you talk about me?"
I think I turned even redder, "Oh. Because. I think you're a really interesting person." I complimented.
think I saw Jacquie blush. A good sign? "Hey, I'm starved. Are you up for some pizza?"
just answered for me, "Sure!"
and I headed for Pizza hut. We made our order and sat at an empty booth.
Jacquie began, "Today was really fun. Even if Des didn't show." She smiled.
WAS really fun!" I agreed, taking a slice of pizza when it arrived.
"Off topic but, are you coming to see Des' game tomorrow?" she asked, taking a slice of pizza for herself.
We have a match tomorrow too so I figured why not come to both?" I answered logically.
cool. I hope you guys do well tomorrow." Jacquie smiled.
I smiled back.
Maybe we can hang out tomorrow at the stadium?"
"Yeah!" I agreed, maybe a bit too quickly, "I'd like that."
was about to say something but we were interrupted when someone from the next booth jumped up and shouted.

Oh wait, it was Destiny and Rei!
I said, the nerve of some people.
just turned and went back to my pizza.

saw Destiny and Rei in the next booth. I gave her my classic prepare-to-die look which she shrugged off when her pizza came.
nerve of some people.
my awesome day with Kenny, I thought I'd go home and take a bit of a break. I'll need a lot of energy to cheer on the Majestics tomorrow.
second thought, I'm staying up all night.
Ryan, my team captain began, "where have you been all day?"
here and there." I answered, "I went to Kieto's Computer shop and then I went to Pizza Hut."
"All by yourself?" he grunted.
I was with Kenny."
"You don't mean that brat from the Bladebreakers, do you?" Ryan retorted.
is not a brat! He's the most respectable and innocent guy I know." I argued.
Just don't come crying to me when he dumps you, just like Kieran." Ryan glared, leaving the room.
expected to cry, but no tears came out. Why am I not crying? Am I over him? "He won't dump me like Kieran." I glowered, "He wont."
next few hours went by pretty quickly. I glared every time Ryan came to see me. Even mild revenge is sweet!
" he called.
"What?!" I called back, obviously very annoyed.
"Someone's here to see you!"
"Just a minute, Ryan!" I put away my things, straightened my clothes, and went downstairs. It was Destiny. "Hey, Cupid." I greeted.
grinned, "Sorry, I had some things to do before I could meet you at Kieto's."
"Like.... say, go out for pizza with Rei?"
"Well yes, and no." she began, "Get hungry after much of Tyson's food talk and THEN go out for pizza with Rei."
I scoffed sarcastically, "It sounds like a date to me."
it's not as interesting as your date with Kenny!" she smiled, "Do tell!"
"So you admit, it was a date."
"Don't change the subject."
"But still, it was a date, wasn't it."
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
too!"
"Oh for cryin' out loud just tell me what happened with Kenny!"
"What's there to tell?" I asked her innocently, "We looked at computer parts and we went for pizza."
"Yeah, sure." she replied. I sensed a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
a voice called from the kitchen. It was Ryan once again.
is in 15 minutes."
"What curfew?"
"The one I'm giving you now. Tell your prissy friend to leave."
shook my head in annoyance, "Sorry about Ryan, he doesn't really like anyone who's connected with the Bladebreakers."
"I wonder why." Destiny said, once again hinting sarcasm.
guess you better leave before he bites your head off." I grinned, "Not that I'll mind you know. But I know a certain black haired tiger-boy who would."
funny. Well, can I stay for a bit? Your date with Kenny wasn't exactly all I came for."
"I guess so. What else do you need?" I asked.
you remember I told you about Solitary Flame?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Well," she began, "I ran into Ardene today. We talked, and I'm wondering-"
"If you should be friends with her again." I guessed. Team break-ups, it's always the same.
Destiny nodded.
you can be so naive sometimes. How could you even THINK about being friends with that backstabbing... You get the point!" I yelled, not wanting to swear, "She kicked you off of your own team. That's just like stealing your beyblade and trashing it!"
it wasn't even Ardene who did it!" she argued, "It was Iris!"
"If you already made up our mind, what was the point of asking me?" I argued back. Really; what was the point?
"I-"
"Just get out." I muttered coldly, interrupting her from what could have been an apology. I guess I'll never know.
grabbed her jacket and left hastily.
you guys! Sorry if this chapter turned out to be a bit short, I'm typing on Word Pad right now and I can't see the pages. Anyways I'm almost done writing chapter 17 so that will be up asap! Thanks for reading and reviewing, guys! Especially Jacquie who reviews for every single chapter! *hint hint*
