  Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade nor do I own Leah Khalor who belongs to Morgan and Toni Hikari LaVelle belongs to Bed ‘N’ Breakfast. I do however own Riley Valkov and Elair and Sarwin Althalus     Chapter 5     Riley’s POV     And look at him I did. He had bright emerald eyes that were full of concern and dark grey and red hair. He was wearing a dark blue t shirt with F.B.I (Female Body Inspector) written across the front and a pair of black swimming shorts.             “I’m fine. I’m really sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was goin.” I apologized again.             “Hey, no problem. You new around here? I don’t think I’ve seen you before.” He asked as he helped me up.             “Well, sortta. I live in Bakuton. I’ll be staying with my dad on the weekends here. I was here all summer… but I stayed in the house. My name’s Riley Valkov.” I answered wiping my tears away.             “I take it your parents got divorced? Mine are too. They got divorced when I was ten. My name’s Ozuma Zandt. You look like you could use someone to talk to… if you want?” I smiled, he seemed really nice.             “Sure.” I answered him as we started to walk the way that I was running.             “So, if you don’t mind me asking, what happened to make you cry?” he asked with a sidelong glance towards me as we continued our walk.             “It’s just that this summer has been awful. Right after school got out, my parents announced that there were getting divorced. About a week after they told us, my brother disappeared. No one knows where he is. Then, I had to spend my whole summer here, and the rest of my weekends. When I got here a little wile ago, my dad told me to talk to him. So I did. I told him that they had to work something else out, because I didn’t have any time to my friends except on weekdays, and lucky me, I have a teacher that gives us a shit load of homework every night. Anyway, he got pissed and told my to grow up and don’t be such a wimp like that pathetic excuse of a brother of mine.” I stopped and took a deep breath. I didn’t even know that we had stopped.             “I see. I’m sure your brother will show up sooner or later.” He said as he put on a reassuring smile. “I was just heading home from a friends place when I bumped into you. We’re going down to the beach. Do you wanna come?” I laughed out loud at the hopeful look in his eyes. He looked so cute.             “Sure, I’d love to.”           &nbs p; “Ok, I’ll drive you over to your place so you can get changed then we’ll get going.” He said with a big grin on his face as he turned around and walked up the driveway of the house that we had stopped by, which has obviously turned out to be his house. Oh, nice ride.             “Wow! Is that yours?” I asked as I ran up beside the yellow Hummer parked there.             “Yup, this is my baby.” He said as he patted it on the hood. “Climb in.” I rolled my eyes.             “What is it with guys and their cars?” I laughed as I jumped in.             &nbs p;  Fifteen minutes and two stops later, we were at the beach. When he had taken me home, I had changed into my blue bikini and threw on a pair of jean shorts and white tee on over it.             We were walking towards a group of people that I’m guessing were his friends, when one of them yelled out when we were almost there.             “Hey, Ozuma. What took ya so long? Ahh, you were chick hunting again were you?” a guy with red hair teased. I had to take a double take. He looked almost like Johnny. Now that’s a scary thought.             “Ha ha ha. Nice to see you too. No, we bumped into each other when I was going home… literally.” He laughed as he and the Johnny look-a-like high-fived. “Riley this Michael (lol I hardly know any of their last names, that’s sad lol) Ramirez. Michael, this Riley Valkov.” Michael stood up, and I was surprised at how tall he was. He’s about the same height as Kai, maybe even taller. Wow. Anyway, he stood up and did an awkward bow.             “Ma Lady.” He said with a British accent as he as he came back up and took my hand placing a kiss on it. I had a look of disbelief on my face and then laughed.             “I like your friends already Ozuma.” I said with a big grin.             “I’m just so god damned irresistible for my own good.” He said with a big lopsided grin. Great. Another Enrique.             “Yea right. Come on Riley, I’ll introduce you to the others.” he said as he grabbed my hand and led me over to the others. There were two girls. They both looked to stand around 5’3”. The first one had long green hair and curious green eyes. The other had long blue hair and turquoise eyes. The first had on a black bikini wile the other one had on a blue and white one that was... really revealing. The girl with the blue hair currently looked to be in a fight with a guy with spiked up blue hair. He had on a pair of beige swim shorts. Beside him, was a guy with green hair and a larger than normal nose shaking his head at the two bickering.           &nbs p; “The girl with the green hair is Miriam. The two fighting are my cousins, Salima and Kane. And shorty there is Joseph. Guys, this is Riley.” Everyone turned to look at us and nodded their head in greeting. Salima was the only one who spoke.             “Hey girl. Now, how many times do I have to tell you Kane? It’s my life, and you can’t tell me what to do!” she yelled at her brother.             “I don’t care Salima! How could you just let that guy drool all over you?! Ozuma tell her to go put some close on for Christ sake! She wont listen to me.” I put my hands on my hips and looked at Ozuma, Salima doing the same thing. I knew how she felt. That’s happened before to me with Tala. Ozuma looked at me and then at Salima. Lastly he looked at Kane.             “Sorry man. I can’t help you here. See, if I tell her to put something on like you want me to, the she’ll be mad at me for the rest of my life. Not to mention the way Riley’s over here looking at me, I’m scared she won’t talk to me again.” He answered so sincerely that I dropped my hands from my hips and smiled at him.             “Gee, thanks. Man, you’re hopeless. Salima please?” he was practically begging now. Salima let out a loud sigh.             “I obviously can’t change now, but if it’ll make you happy, I’ll wear something different next time. Ok?”           &nbs p; “Fine. Are you new around here?” Kane asked now looking at me. I looked at Ozuma before replying.             ; “Umm, part time. Weekends and holidays.” Everyone gave a nod of understanding. I liked these guys.             “Ya, well, I’m going for an ice cream. Anyone else want one?” Ozuma asked as he headed off towards the beach restaurant.           &nb sp; “No thanks.” Was the reply from everyone. What was with these people? They don’t like ice cream or something?           &nbs p; “Sure.” I said I started to fallow him.             “You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.” He said as he looked over his shoulder. I frowned. What was wrong with him?             “I want to come. Besides, I don’t know what flavor I want.” I said as I jogged to catch up with him. “What’s wrong?” I asked. He looked like he had just lost a big game.             “You really don’t have to come if you don’t want to. You can go stay with Michael and the others.” I stopped in my tracks and laughed. He turned around and looked at me.             “Is that what the sad mood’s all about? Because I said that I liked Michael?” He raised and eyebrow at me, making me laugh a little more. “I said that because he reminded me of a guy back home. He’s a real womanizer and is really full of himself.” I walked over and gave him a hug. “Don’t worry. Come on, lets go get that ice cream shall we?” I said as I looped arms with him and continued walking towards the restaurant, a little skip in my step. It felt good to actually have a guy jealous over me.             &nbs p;           We sat on one of the benches outside of the restaurant and ate our ice cream. I had gotten my favorite, French Vanilla, wile Ozuma had gotten a plain Vanilla. When we sat down, he asked me about my friends back home. The current person of our discussion was anything but a friend.             “You’ve mentioned a Kai. Who’s that?” Ozuma asked innocently as he licked the ice cream off his had that had dripped.             “You want to know about the evil blue headed demon spawn from hell!?” I exclaimed, almost dropping my ice cream. He let out a laugh and shook his head yes. “He’s only the most annoying person on the whole entire planet. I swear he was sent here to make my life a living hell. He’s about as tall as Michael with two toned blue hair. He has dark mahogany eyes; his face always has either a smirk on it or a scowl. And last but certainly not least, he’s the biggest sexist and jackass around.” I told him with a nod of my head to confirm what I had said.             “I see. He sounds lik… HEY! Shit!” I burst out laughing at the sight before me. Someone had thrown a Frisbee way off course and hit Ozuma in the back of the head just as he was going to get a bite of his ice cream, resulting in a now white faced Ozuma… literally. The Frisbee had shoved his head into the cold treat.             “HAHA you have HAHA no idea how HAHAHA funny you look!” I managed to get out, only to receive a glare from him. I take it whoever threw the red disk was too scared to come get it (lol poor Ozuma lol) because it was still lying in the sand. After I had calmed down some and Ozuma had gotten most of the ice cream off of his face I got up and offered him my hand.             “Come on, let’s go home. It’s gettin late.” He took my hand and got up.             “Sure, come on.” He said before heading towards his Hummer, still holding my hand. Not that I minded.                   phoenix2185- there you have it. Well, I’ll talk atchas later   R&R plz             &nbs p;               &nb sp;
