What You Don't Know Can't Hurt You

Summary:Some people complain because roses have thorns. Others give thanks because thorns have roses. AU.

Disclaimer:I do not own Beyblade etc….

A/N:In this story some of the male characters in Beyblade will be female as I don't like female OC's. I would have left them how they are but it didn't quite work in my mind. This is set in an Alternate Universe.

Chapter 1

Dina Kon was scared, she had never done this before, and she had hoped it would never come to this but it had, and she was scared.

People say life isn't life without change but this was one change she could live without.

She was starting a new school and she was terrified.

Her Mum had wanted a new start with Hugh (her latest boyfriend), which meant new school, new house… new everything really.

To make matters worse Rei wasn't helping, she had disappeared early this morning, to train, saying she would head straight to school after. And right now Dina needed her big sisters support, not one of her disappearing acts she was prone to, and there was a good chance that she wouldn't turn up at school either.

"Great, could this day get any worse" she muttered angrily, Dina was currently stood in front of her dresser experiencing a serious bad hair day. She had already attempted three different hair styles and the forth wasn't looking promising.

"Dina, Honey, It's time to go" Her Mothers came floating up the stairs.

"What! You can't be serious, I cannot be seen like this"

"DINA, you look great you always do, stop being so paranoid and get down here so we can leave" came her mothers reply.

"Fine, just remember they say first impressions are everything, so if you're lying I will not be responsible for my actions."

A quick scramble and she was as ready as she was ever going to be.

"So, I'm going to drop you at the end of the road and you're going to have to walk down the road, Rei is going to meet you by the gates at the front entrance." Mums pre-school talk was in full flow "Relax Honey, you'll be fine."

"Easy for you to say." A sigh was the only response.

Dina's POV

"Hey Mum, was Rei in a good mood this morning?" I enquired, watching the scenery go by wasn't helping the butterflies in my stomach, I was kinda hoping that talking would take my mind of where I was going.

"She seemed to be her normal self, why? Did you two have a fight or something?" Wow, that's positive thinking for you, I wonder if she always thinks the best of us, I mean it's not like we fight a lot we just don't get on well with each other. I like to think that it's because we don't have much in common, but then who knows what goes on in Rei's head.

"Nah, just wondered if she was as nervous as me, I guess she isn't."

Damn, that girl has a serious amount of control over her emotions, it's freaky sometimes. I mean, I've sat and watched Mum trying to discipline her and she doesn't even blink. I think Mum gets slightly freaked by it to, she says it just a phase but I think its just part of who she is.

"Here we are Honey, Good luck, Try to enjoy your self and tell Rei that she has to walk you home, I don't want my baby girl getting lost."

"Yeah sure" That'll go down well, Rei hates being dumped with me and it's not like I can't look after myself. "See ya later Mum, don't work to hard."

"Bye Sweetie"

Mum had dropped me at the side of the road near the school. Well I hadn't better keep Rei-Rei waiting, if she's even turned up. It wouldn't surprise me if she decided to skip, she's done it before and probably still does it. She to good at covering her tracks, I told you she's freaky.

Okay, so first impressions, well it looks like a school amazingly, I mean quite a few schools tend to look like prisons with all them fences and bars on the windows. That what our last school was like anyway.

Hey would you look at that I've found the front gate, and would you believe it Rei's not there, I could've put money on that, she is such a….

"You know standing in the middle of the path staring at the wall like it's deeply offended you really doesn't make a great first impression."

Shit!

I spun round to find Rei smirking,

"Well, if you weren't late I won't have had to!" It was a lame response but I could never win, Rei seemed to have an evil streak that I just didn't have.

"Are you coming or what?"

"Huh" Came my oh so intelligent reply.

It seems that during my inner monologue the bell has gone and its time to enter hell.

"You know you could have made an effort this morning and actually done your hair."

Oh, that's it I'm gonna kill her.

"Well, I'm sorry to be such an embarrassment but some of us are human."

I might not be in my best of moods.

"Okay, your nervous I get that, but you have to chill out and stop scowling. You've never had a problem with making friends and you won't start now."

"Who are you and where is Rei?"

I couldn't resist, she was actually being nice. I wonder how long it's gonna last.

"Shut it, I'm just trying to help ya but if you don't want it I won't give it."

Wow, she was nice for two whole sentences, it's gotta be a record.

"Come on Rei you've gotta be at least a bit nervous."

And now that I think about it, she looks slightly off too.

"No I'm not"

"Are"

"Not, I'm just twitchy"

"Whatever, do you even know where were going?"

I can't help but notice that all the other students have disappeared into various classrooms.

"Sure I do, we go just round here and bingo, there's the office"

That was one hell of a good guess.

"Excuse me, but could you help us, were new here and don't have a clue what we're doing."

I think I just made us sound dumb, especially by the muttering I'm hearing from next to me.

Thank God this lady looks like she didn't notice.

"Sure, you're supposed to be at the Principals office"

Gee, she's helpful.

"And where would that be?"

I can tell that this lady is not on Rei's good side.

"You passed it on your way here."

Okay I've changed my mind, this woman is a serious air-head.

"Do you have a map or something, coz I have to say this you are seriously not helpful."

Definitely not on Rei's good side.

"I'm sorry but…" she was cut of by Rei.

"You know what forget it, we'll find it."

I will say one thing, Rei's moods change seriously fast.

It took us five more minutes to find the Principals office. It turned out to be just around the corner from the main office with the air-head.

"Ah, you must be Rei and Dina Kon" came the way to cheerful voice from inside the room.

"Should we go in there?" I whispered to Rei. She shrugged, and strode confidently in disappearing behind the off-white door like a ghost. That's another freaky thing about Rei she makes hardly any noise.

Not wanting to be left behind I hurried after her.

"Now girls, I'm Stanley Dickenson, as you might have guessed I am the principal of this school. Since you are late" he gave a disapproving glare, "I'll try to keep this short…"

If this was his definition of short I would hate to see long.

By the time he had finished we had already missed first class, we would be going straight into the second period.

Obviously Rei was in a higher year than me, after all she is older, but I liked to think that I'm smarter.

"Hey, if you need me you where to find me."

That was about how sentimental Rei got, but at least I know she cared.

"Sure, just don't kill anyone."

And with that we went are separate ways. Let the fun begin.
