Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ That's Life ❯ Chapter 7

Phoenix2185- hey guys. I’m back!   Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters from beyblade. Leah Khalor belongs to Morgan and Toni Hikaru LaVelle belongs to Bed ‘N’ Breakfast. Riley Volkov and Elair and Sarwin Althalus do belong to me though.           Chapter 7      Riley’s POV           &nb sp;     I sat on my bed at home before school leafing through a Sears’s catalogue, looking for the perfect dress and thinking about what had happened two nights ago when I got home from dads. When Ozuma had dropped me off Sunday at the hang-out (which is a little clearing right in front of the beach that the gang brings lawn chairs and such to hang out at. There is also a little cabin there that we sometimes stay at if one of us is fighting with our parents or we just need to lie low for a bit, or we sometimes throw a party there. Nobody else come around there because they either know that this is our place or they just don’t find anything of interest.) I had wished I had a camera with me for 3 reasons. 1. Tyson and Toni were (AN: I would like to point out a little error that I was making in the past that I would like to correct. I was calling her Toni Hikari LaVelle; the proper spelling is Toni Hikaru LaVelle. There you go Beddy, sorry ‘bout that) actually getting along and Toni was sitting on Tyson’s lap with her head against his chest. 2. Johnny was lying on the ground staring up at nothing with stars in his eyes and his foot twitching (AN: lol InuYasha after Kagome tells him to sit lol). I learnt later that it was because Johnny had gotten bold and had tried to hit on Elair in front of Sarwin, which didn’t go over too well with the overprotective brother. And 3.The look on Kai’s face when I turned around from giving Ozuma a goodbye kiss was priceless. It was a mix of complete shock, and then it changed to a look that a 4 year old would give you after losing his favorite toy, and the funny part is that I don’t know why on earth my sworn enemy would drop his defenses in front of me. I didn’t get anytime to say something about it though, as he got the weird look on his face that I’ve never seen before, said something to Rei, and then stormed over to his car and left. His nice, really nice car might I add. His stupid pride and joy… hmmm, that gives me an idea (lol). Anyway, after he had left, I introduced everyone to Ozuma. Johnny looked a little wary of him at first, but before Oz left, he had befriended all of them, even Johnny. Later on I was informed on what I missed on Friday afternoon after I had left. I turns out that we’re having a formal dance to start the new school year off next week. Now normally I wouldn’t go, because I’ve had some bad experiences with dresses so I hate dressing up. But Ms. Crowl, the teacher in charge of school events and my math teacher insisted that it be mandatory. So now I’m stuck. I have to go to this dance, unless, as she puts it “you are in the hospital dying from a rare disease, in which case I need a note from your doctor”. Damn bitch. So this is why I am now looking through the Sears catalogue searching for a dress. I set the book down and got up off my bed. Yawning, I stretched my cramped legs and arms before going over to my dresser and picked up my brush, running it through me hair a few time. ‘By the look of my hair, I think I’m due for a trim soon.’ I thought to myself looking in the mirror. When I heard a knocking sound, I set my brush down, grabbed my backpack knowing that it was Leah waiting for me. We had agreed to walk to school together today. “Hey girl. What took ya so long? I know you don’t care about being on time to school, but I do.” My best friend greeted me, tying not to laugh at something. I gave her a weird look as we headed off towards school. “Hey. What’s so funny eh?” “Haha sorry, it’s just that… hahaha it looks like you were sleeping on a train track by the imprint on your face. Here, take a look for yourself.” She said as she grabbed her compact from her purse. Sure enough, I had an imprint on the side of my face from the way I was laying when I was looking through the catalogue. I groaned as I started to rub the side of my face trying to get it off. “Great, that’s all I need. Ah man. If a certain someone sees me like this I’ll never hear the end of it.” Leah put her hands behind her head as if in deep thought with a wondering look. She seemed to have figured out whatever it was that she was trying to figure out ‘cause then she got a huge grin on her face as she gave me a sideways look. “Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?” Tomorrow? What’s going on tomorrow? She must have noticed the confused look on my face because she gave me a disbelieving look. “I can’t believe you forgot! Riley how could you?” Now I’m more confused. Whose birthday did I forget? Is it my birthday. Nah, mines not ‘till June. Hehe I kinda forgot about my birthday a few years ago. hmmm, what could I be forgetting? Let’s see, it’ll be the second Wednesday of the new school year… OH!! “Hehe I remember. How could I forget? I was just testing ya Leah.” I said with a big stupid grin on my face. She gave me another disbelieving look that said ‘Sure, whatever ’. “Ok then, what is it?” Ladies and Gentlemen, my unbelieving friend.      “It’s Prank Day. Only my most favorite day of the year. And yeah, I got some ideas. You?” Prank Day was my favorite day all year for 2 reasons. It’s a major prank/revenge day and the teachers can’t do anything about it. Last year, the big argument between Tyson and Toni was what flavor of jam was better. Johnny and I were sick of the constant arguing, so we mixed the two different flavors they were fighting about and dumped it all over the two unexpecting teens. It was hilarious. Leah was tying her hardest to keep an indifferent look on her face but was failing miserably. She was planning something. “Nothing much. I thought I’d gang up with you this year. And I have the perfect plan for you to get back at Ms. Crowl.” Hmmm. Interesting. “Do tell.” “Well, I was thinking about………………” I couldn’t help the smirk from spreading across my face. This was going to be good.     After school yesterday I went shopping. All through classes I could do nothing but scam what I was going to do for today. And let me tell ya, I came up with some pretty interesting ideas. Some of which included the need of paint, sweetened condensed milk (AN: that’s the really thick milk that comes in a can), food coloring, hot sauce, balloons, a screwdriver, a camera, and a giant whoopee cushion. One of these wonderful pranks is to be played on Vikki Leon. Want Vikki’s profile? Here you go: Vikki Leon. Looks- Blond hair, blue eyes. Wears- halter-tops that show her midriff and exaggerates her cleavage. And don’t forget the jeans that look like they were painted on. Personality- Bitchy, sluttish, bitchy, snobby, a whore, and did I mention bitchy? Overall description, Vikki is the school slut. Not to mention that she thinks she’s going out with Kai. Everyone knows that they’re over. Everyone saw him break up with her. Too bad her blond roots won’t let her except it. For as long as I can remember, Vikki and I have been the definition of enemies. Hell, Kai’s my best friend compared to that bitch. And I think that’s why he was going out with her in the first place. To majorly piss me off and to get, as I heard him tell Tala before, a ‘good lay’. Well, I’d be putting her in her place today. I had been up all last night completing Tyson and Toni’s prank. I made their favorite cookies. Normally they are sugar cookies with jam in the middle. But, stupid me, didn’t have any jam in the house. The only thing that I could find that might be any good was… hot sauce. I laughed out loud thinking about the look the two would have on their face when they dove into the big pile of cookies. Knowing those two, all the cookies would probably be all gone before the hot sauce kicked in, making it better. Oh, this was going to be too funny. I packed the cookies and the other stuff I had gotten yesterday, packed them in my backpack, and headed off to school. If my timing was right, Kai would already be at school, and Ms. Crowl and Vikki wouldn’t be. I rubbed my hands together and cackled evilly. This was going to be good.     When I finally got to school, my prediction was right. Ms. Crowl and Vikki’s cars weren’t there yet, but Kai’s was. I dug around inside my bag looking for the pink paint that I had bought. I walked over to pretty black viper and started on my wonderful painting. I would probably get in BIG trouble for doing this, but it will worth the reaction I’ll get from him. When I finished my masterpiece, which consisted of ‘Demon Spawn’ written in hot pink across both side of the car, I took out the camera and snapped a few pictures. Satisfied, I put the camera back in my bag and threw the leftover paint in the trashcan. Not wanting to waist anytime, I hurried into the school. When I got to Ms. Crowl’s classroom, Leah was there waiting for me (AN: Their homeroom is Ms. Crowl’s class. So they have math first. Obviously. lol). I got a grin on my face yet again. “Ready?” I asked my good friend. “As ready as I’ll ever be let’s do this.” For the next 5 to 10 minutes we proceeded to dissemble Ms. Crowl’s chair and insert the giant whoopee cushion I had purchased. Getting that far was easy. But here came the hard part. Reassembling the chair. “GOD DAMNED STUPID NO GOOD FOR NOTHING MOTHER FUCKING CHAIR!! Why the HELL wont you go back together?!” I had a bit of a bad temper and the chair wasn’t cooperating with me. “OWWW!!! FUCK!!! I broke ANOTHER nail!!” I shook my thumb in the air a few times, trying to stop the burning from the broken nail before sticking it in my mouth glaring at Leah who was sprawled out on the floor laughing her ass off. “hahaha you have to hahaha learn to control hahaha your temper hahahaha better hahahahaha” she managed between gasps. “And you gotta learn to keep your big ass mouth shut.” I mumbled under my breath wile nursing my poor thumb. Leah finally got a hold of herself, and finished putting the chair back together since I didn’t make a move to do it. “Now what are you going to do?” she asked gathering up the screwdriver and such. I got an evil look on my face and replied. “I’m going to the locker room. Wanna come?” I asked, being the nice friend that I am. I reached over to my bag and pulled out a bottle of what looked to be ‘Outrageous Shampoo’. The contents were actually the milk I got yesterday. Leah looked back and forth nervously from me to the shampoo bottle before slowly nodding her head. “… Sure…” came her reply. “Good. Come on then, let’s go.” When we got to the locker rooms, I changed Vikki’s shampoo bottle with mine. This would be an interesting gym class. (AN. -evil grin- if only she knew, if only she knew mwha ha ha ha hawk gag choke wheeze… I’m ok, don’t everyone jump at once.)     I sent Leah back to homeroom first because it’s not normal for her to be late for class and it would look suspicious if I showed up early. So I was sentenced to walk around all by my lonesome. About five minutes before the bell was supposed to go off, I started to head to class. “Hey Riley. You’re here early.” Came Tyson’s greetings when I walked in. Time to put operation ‘hot cookie’ into plan. “I wanted to get here before class started so I could give you and Toni some cookies. They probably wouldn’t be any good by lunch time. Here ya go. Your favorite kind too. Sugar and Jam.” I handed him and Toni the container. By now, everyone was in the classroom waiting for the bell to ring, even Kai. Everyone looked at me like I had grown two heads for being nice to Tyson. Kai on the other hand must have known I was up to something because he had a big grin on face. He obviously didn’t find out about his car yet. That’s good; I wanna be there with my camera when he finds it.      “Gee, thanks Riley.” Toni thanked politely before her and Tyson both dove into the cookies. Before they started though, I saw Johnny take one. Hmmm, double whammy. I stared wide eyed and jaw down at the two that I had made the cookies for. They had just devoured two dozen cookies in less than a minute. That’s gotta be a record. After I regained my composure, I got the biggest grin possible. Now all I had to do was wait for the fireworks. “Thanks Riley, those were really good.” Tyson said handing my container back. Still grinning I replied. “No problem Tyson.” He looked at me weird. “What’s got you in such a happy…… AHHHHHHH!!! HOT!!! HOT!!!” Toni wasn’t far behind. “Tyson, what’s wro…… AHHH!!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! NEED… WATER!!!!!” I burst out and started rolling around on the floor. I was laughing too hard to get the camera out, but it seemed that Leah was up to the task. “Say ‘Hot’ you two, you’re on Candid Camera.” Leah said giggling wile taking a picture of the two running around the classroom looking for water. What Leah said only made me laugh harder. Of coarse, I wasn’t the only one laughing. The entire class was. Who wouldn’t? When Ms. Crowl walked in, she didn’t look too impressed, but after she found out what had happened, she too cracked a smile. My double Whammy thing didn’t go according to plan though, as Johnny was going to save his cookie for later but when he found out what they did to Tyson and Toni, he had the nerve to throw it out.  Five minutes later, Ms. Crowl finally got the class settled down and gave us some work to do. When everyone was quiet, she went over to her desk and sat down. “PPPPHHHHHHWWWWWWWW”. I had my camera in my hand and soon as she sat down I took a few pictures of the look of terror that crossed her face. The whole room was quiet for a minute and I thought that maybe the class didn’t find it very funny. But I didn’t have to doubt myself for long because the whole class burst out laughing again. I deserve a pat on the back. I managed to make the entire class laugh twice in less than one period. I received a glare from my dear teacher before going back to work, leaving her shocked. About the middle of class I was talking to Leah about something else to do. “What about worms in the school food?” Leah asked excitedly. “Nah, too gross, and I have to eat the cafeteria food today. It’s bad enough by itself without having worms in it. Hmmmmm.” I was losing ideas. “I know, what about somehow black mailing Johnny to sing ‘I’m a Little Tea Pot’ at lunch? Can you imagine that? Johnny sinning ‘I’m a little tea pot shor….” I looked up as a shadow appeared in front of me, thus causing me to look up. To my dismay it as Ms. Crowl, and what was worse was that she was smirking. An evil smirking teacher is never good. “Yes, Ms. Crowl, can I help you?” I asked trying to be innocent. “Yes, as a matter of fact you can.” By now, we had caught the class’s attention. “Since you seem so interested in singing in class, why don’t you go up the front of the class and grace us with that beautiful song you were just singing?” Oh damn.      “Ummm, that’s ok. I wont sing anymore in class.” I gulped. “That wasn’t really a request, that was a demand. Now go up there and sing my dear.” She ordered from behind clenched teeth. Like I said before, Damn bitch. “Fine.” I mumbled under my breath as I went up to the front. I might not be the shyest person in my lovely group of friends, but the idea of going to the front of a classroom and sing a two year old song gave me sweaty hands. I finally reached the front, took a deep breath, and turned around. As I feared, I had caught the attention of the whole class. Johnny was whispering to Leah about what was going on no doubt, and at the very back, Kai was sitting back in his chair feet up on the desk like he was ready for some entertainment. Well, if entertainment was what he wanted, then entertainment was what he’d get. This new thought brought on a smirk as I turned to Ms. Crowl. “Do you want the actions tooo?” I asked in a whinny voice. Just as I thought, she grabbed the bait. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.” She sat down on my desk and waited expectantly. Hehehe. I stood there for a moment looking like I was trying to think of something. At last I let out an exaggerated sigh, “Ms. Crowl, I seem to have forgotten how the actions go. But I know for a fact that my dear friend Kai knows them. Perhaps you would allow him to come to the front and help to entertain you?” The whole time I said this, I had the most innocent look on my face and my voice was just as innocent. When I looked back at Kai, I almost laughed. A look of sheer horror. I guess the thought of doing to actions to ‘I’m a Little Tea Pot’ was not in his ‘to do’ list. “What a wonderful idea Ms. Volkov. Mr. Hiwatari, please join your fellow classmate at the front of the class.” Sweet! Got ‘em. With the biggest scowl on his face that I’ve ever seen, he made his way up to join me. If he was mad at this, I don’t think I want to be around when he finds his car. Nah, I do. I put a self satisfied smirk on as I looked at him. “So, how do they go again?” hahahahaha I am having soooooo much fun with this. “Ok Ok, just get on with it. I’m going to waist a whole class so you two can goof around.” Man, is she impatient or what? Shesh. I cleared my throat and began, but not before treating Kai to my elbow in his ribs. “I’m a little tea pot short and stout…”  The glare that Ms. Crowl sent to Kai set him to doing to actions. I joined in not wanting him to get all of the spotlight. “Here is my handle, here is my spout. When I get all steamed up hear me shout: Tip me over and pour me out!” Ah good times. As soon as I was done singing, I burst out laughing. I may have humiliated myself in front of the class, but so did Kai, and that was the funny part. Just as a dark faced Kai was starting towards me, the bell rang. I grabbed my stuff at lighting speed and ran out the door.     Finally, it’s lunch time. I may have caused my share of havoc today, but if Johnny threw one more piece of paper, eraser, glue, lint, or hair at me I am going to be the cause of more than havoc- I’ll be responsible for his death too. Annoying red headed stupid idiotic best friend of mine. I quickly grabbed the balloons and food coloring from my bag and headed towards the girls bathroom. We had once convinced Tyson that there were Lazyboy Chairs and chocolate machines (AN: LMAO LOL LOL HAHAHAHAHA chocolate machines. Lol remember that from way back in grade 5 Jess? Holy shit that was funny. Lol anyway, for all you peeps who aint gettin’ what’s goin’ on with the chocolate machines… where have you been living? UNDER A ROCK OR SOMETHING!!! LMAO lol lol sry, I'm a little on the hyper side. Anyway, on the story again.) in the bathroom. He sauntered right in. We had counted down from 3 ‘till he realized that we were lying. He came yelling out of there so fast with about 4 girls chasing after him throwing wet toilet paper at him. That was a Kodak moment. Tyson’s has never been seen anywhere near there again.  When I walked into the bathroom, Vikki was there powdering her face with her pose faithfully behind her. In my opinion, I wish she would put the whole thing of foundation on herself, maybe then I wouldn’t have to put up with her ugly mug all day. She turned to see who it was that came in and curled her face into a snarl. She obviously hasn’t gotten over last weeks glue incident. I’d rather not get into detail. Let’s just say that Vikki’s mid back length hair is now to her shoulders. “Careful Vapor, your face might just stay that way, and then it’ll take more than a little cover up to cover up that thing of yours that you call a face.” I know, I’m a bitch too. But I’m the good bitch. My nic name for Vikki used to be Viks, and then I thought of the Vicks Vapor Rub. Yeah, and it kinda stuck. I think she almost believed me because she almost turned to check in the mirror. Yup, she’s a blond. She turned back to me and narrowed her eyes. “I heard what you made my Kai do this morning. You’re nothing but a little bitch. Why did you make him do that?” Have you ever had a mosquito buzzing and buzzing around your head and you just want to squash it to Hell? Well try being in the same room with Vikki. “Actually, I think he would rather go up to the front and sing ‘Twinkle Little Star’ than hear you call him yours. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have matters to attend to.” And with that I tuned her out and proceeded to fill the balloons with freezing water and food coloring. Let’s see, red for Johnny, Pink for Leah (she’s gonna kill me for that), light blue for Tyson, a darker blue for Kai, green for Toni, purple for Mariah (lol another death wish, I know), and good ol’ black for Rei. I put my stash in my bag and headed to the cafeteria, forgetting all about Vikki and her mob in the bathroom. I crept up to the entrance to the cafeteria and scanned it for my friends. Hmmm, there they are. But it seemed that Tyson, Toni, and Mariah weren’t there. Oh well. I took a weary step in, grabbed a balloon which was dark blue, yelled “HEADS UP!!” and threw it as hard as I could at Kai. It hit with a satisfying splash. I grabbed for other balloons throwing them at their designated person. My lovely friends grabbed some ketchup and mustard packets and proceeded to pelt me with them. The majority of the missiles hit home and burst. A ketchup packet hit me square in the face causing me to stumble back. I yelled retreat and ran out; my friends following close behind still throwing the offending dressings. I took a quick glance back to see who all was following and I noticed vaguely that Kai was also following. This would be a good a time as ever to show off this mornings painting I did, so I swerved out the door to outside. When I saw Kai’s car, I slowed down my pace, then stopped. Johnny shouting, wondering why I had stopped. I threw my hand to cover my mouth and feigned surprise. “Oh my! Kai, Whatever happened to your car!?” I heard him mumble something behind me before walking up to see what I was talking about. I reached inside the pouch on my sweater and grabbed my camera, getting it at the ready. 3…2…1… SNAP! I have such good timing. I took the picture just as he saw the lovely car. Sniff, I couldn’t have asked for a better reaction face. “RILEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!” he bellowed. “eep, I’ll see you guys later.” I stated before running for my dear life. But I don’t think any of them heard be because they were all laughing their asses off at Kai’s car. I guess that completed my Prank Day, except to see Vapors reaction when she goes to wash her hair after gym. ‘Thump thump thump” ahhh, I better get goin’! Here comes Kai!!!     It is now quarter to three. Gym is over. Now I get to see my final prank go into play. Since she doesn’t take long to shower, I waited for her to get done hers before I took mine. Leah and I stood there waiting for the long anticipated reaction from my prey. After two minutes in the shower, there came a slow “eeeeeeeeewwwwwwww” from Vapors shower stall. A lot of “icking” and “grossing” soon followed. I shook my head and laughed as I went into my stall after stripping down. The water cascaded down my shoulder blades and between my breasts washing all the sweat away from today’s gym class. Sighing with satisfaction, I turned the water off and grabbed my towel before stepping out to get dressed. When I reached over to get my clothes, all I found was empty air. Oh God, please no. I looked around at all the girls still in the locker room. When my glare landed on Vapor, she started to giggle, but before I could strangle her to death, she pointed out the window that the blinds were now pulled away from and I let out a gasp. There, sitting crossed legged on the grass, was my supposedly 2nd best friend with my clothes. I glared at Leah through the window and I knew if I wanted my clothes back I would have to go get them. I clenched my jaw and lifted my chin. If she wanted me to come get them, then I would, but she was going to pay dearly for this. Oh so very dearly. I wrapped the towel around tighter then stepped out of the locker to room to the main gym, where half the male population of my class was waiting for dismissal. Keeping my eyes steadily ahead and keeping the blush that was rising from showing itself, I made my way over to the doors leading outside, receiving a few catcalls on my way. Just as I was nearing the door, I tall figure stood blocking my way. I clenched my jaw tighter. It was Kai. I growled out one word. “move.” He must have known I meant business, because he just ginned and moved out of my way. When I got out side I had to suppress a shiver. It was chilly out and all I had on was a wet towel. I walked stiffly over to Leah. All the time she was just sitting there laughing and taking pictures with her and my camera. Oh she was going to get it. I walked over and jerked my clothes from her with one hand, using the other to keep my towel from falling down. Now with my clothes I walked back to the changing room. All the way thinking of nothing but revenge on Leah.     Unknown’s POV       I sat there, idly twirling a spoon between my figures, trying to decide what to do. At last, I finally come to a decision. It’s time to stop acting like a two year old. I dropped the spoon I was fiddling with and stood up. “Come on Miguel, let’s go.” I said gruffly before heading out the door to face what I had coward from. Time to take it like a man.           Phoenix2195- dum dum dum!!!!! Well, what do ya’s think? I know I think is has been the longest chapter yet. And who is this mysterious person at the end? And who the hell is Miguel? Oh well, I guess you’ll just have to wait and see. I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I know I did. I had lots of fun writing it. Well, review and let me know what you thought of it.
