Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ That's Life ❯ Chapter 1

That’s Life     Summery: They say you should keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer, as Riley Volkov is learning. Between her parents recent divorce and her brother running off to God knows where, Riley doesn’t know if she can handle it all. Can long time enemy, Kai Hiwatari help her cope and mange not to fall in love?  Kai/OC     Phoenix2185 - hey everyone. I started this new story and I want to know what you guys think of it. If you think it’s crap, then send me a review telling me it’s crap and I’ll stop writing and wasting your and my time on it… but if you think that its ok, let me know and I’ll continue.   Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Beyblade characters, but Riley Volkov is mine.    “talking”       Chapter 1:         Great. Just great. Another year in this hell hole. Thank God it’s my last. ‘Bakuton High: a place to learn for you and me.’ Give me a break; they really need to come up with a new slogan. What’s worse, is that I don’t have my brother here to back me up this year. Not that I blame him. This summer was hell. One minute you think your family can’t be happier… then boom! Your dad moves out ‘cause him and mom can’t ‘get along’ anymore. I guess it was too much for Tala. He just up and disappeared one day after the news was dropped on us. A tear started to roll down my cheek as I thought of Tala. I guess I really did miss him. Tala’s older than me, by like 5 minutes. It’s funny though really when you think about it. You always hear about when the ages between brothers and sisters are that small, they constantly fight. I don’t remember ever fighting with Tala about that. One of Tala’s main features is his hair. Blood red styled in the most peculiar way, spiked up in two parts on either side of his head. His other main feature, maybe even more so than his hair, is his eyes. Those had to be the bluest eye you’ve ever seen. I laughed. This is my life. This is me. Riley Volkov. People say that I look like my brother. I don’t really think I do. I have dark brown hair that goes down to my mid back with natural red streaks and is usually tied in a ponytail at the nape of my neck. I’m about average height, yet shorter than all my friends, and they constantly remind me (I’m 5’ 1”). Unlike Tala’s crystal blue eyes, mine are grey, steel grey. Not many people can hold a gaze with me… other than one person. And I’m usually the one to back down when we get into our glaring contests. Speak of the devil, here comes the blue headed demon spawn. “Well, well, well. Lucky me, another year with Riot” he said with that cocky voice of his, while he had an evil smirk planted on face. “Not now Kai” I told him, realizing it only came out as a whisper. Damn Tala to Hell for making me drop my shield in front of my worst enemy, and his best friend. As soon as I said that, the smirk vanished from his face and his mahogany eyes filled with concern. You know, it’s kind of ironic how your worst enemy can some times turn out to be your best friend. They actually know you better than your ‘real’ friends… they kind of have to. Kai Hiwatari has been my worst enemy since grade 8, almost 4 years now. I can’t exactly remember why we became worst enemies, but it happened somehow. Remember how I said that there was one person who could hold my stare? This is him. With those deep brownish reddish eyes of his, their kind of hard to look into, for too long. You get lost in them. Out of everyone I know, Kai is the tallest. He towers over me at 5’ 5”. As I mentioned before, he has blue hair. It starts out as a light blue and gets darker the farther back he head it goes. His style makes him look like he’s always just getting out of bed. He grabbed my elbow and steered me around the corner of the school where we could talk without anybody eavesdropping. “What’s wrong with you?” I looked up into his eyes and noticed that they were back to normal. Ha! I was probably just imagining the concern I thought I saw in then earlier. This was Kai we were talking about. The same Kai that never shows emotion. I finally pulled myself together. “Nothing is wrong”. I can see something in his eyes now. I know that look very well. He’s getting irritated. “That’s bullshit and you know it. You walk towards the school almost crying, no one’s seen hide nor hair of you all summer. And where in Gods name is your brother!?” Who the hell gave him the right to ask about what I did all summer. That noisy bastard. One person already knows about what happened. I prefer it not to be two. “What I did all summer is none of your fucking business! And as for where Tala is, no one knows.” “What do you mean? ‘No one knows’?” God he can be dense. “Just what I said” I snapped back at him as I pulled free from the grip he had on my arm and rushed into the school.       Phoenix2185- well there you go. Chapter 1. let me know what you think of it. Talk atcha’s later     R&R plz               &n bsp;
