Hello! It's ME! KuramaKitty! Here with my first multi-chapter story! Aint'cha all so proud? Do me a favor and just ignore my other stories. They have a very bad case of Mary-Sueness and OOCness. So, just ignore and give this story a try.

MUCH, MUCH LOVE TO AYESHA RAEES WHO AGREED TO BE MY BETA WRITER!

She will be the one who will keep me on track so Sam doesn't become a Mary-Sue (I hope I've done a good job so far…) and so the Bey Gang doesn't get out-of-character.

Anyway, enough of me, on to the full summary and first chapter. I hope you like it and thanks who are going to give this fic a chance.

FULL SUMMARY: Samantha Starnette: fourteen, overweight, not going to be a runway model anytime soon, not to mention middle class. But, the private school across town is giving away a free scholarship to their school, if they can pass their test. Surprise, surprise, Sam gets it. However, the paradise on Earth she thought it would be turns out to be anything but with snobby-rich-kids-who-need-an-attitude-check galore. Now she's worried about making it through the first semester, let alone four years. KaiXOC TalaXOC RayXMariah and maybe more.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the anime Beyblade or any of its character. The lucky jerk who does is Takao Aoki, so do not sue me for anything of the sort. I only own Samantha, any other characters you don't happen to recognize from the series and the plot line

A young girl, in her early teens steps outside her house to get some fresh air for a few seconds. Her little brother was driving her crazy, singing random songs off-key as loud as he could while playing on his Nintendo Wii. She half-wished school would start already so she wouldn't have to be near him for most of the day. There's also the fact that she was hoping to get a job soon, which would get her away from him for even longer.

She turned to go back inside a few moments later - it was far too hot to be outside for too long of a time - but something moving in the corner of her eye made her pause. She turned and saw the mailman coming up her walkway. She waited to grab the mail for her parents before walking back into the blessed air-conditioned house.

She flipped through the numerous envelopes of junk mail and bills out of habit, glad that she didn't have to deal with them yet, along with the magazines and brochures that were never-ending and useless, pausing when she found a rather thick envelope addressed to her.

Samantha Starnette

She saw the return address and her eyes lit up in excitement. She had known this was coming to her eventually, she just hadn't thought it would be this soon!

She dropped the rest of the mail on the kitchen counter on her way upstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and tore the top of said package off and she wedged her finger between the sides to open it. She reached in and took out the contents and laid them on her lap. Before she could take a deep breath and prepare herself, her eyes skipped across the piece of paper like a little kid running away from his parents, not wanting to leave the park and go home yet. She had to read it over three different times because she had read too fast and skipped over some other information. Once she could be sure of what the paper said, she set it off to the side and stared off into space, speechless. She was so overwhelmed by the information on the paper, it took a while for the responding emotions to show themselves.

Three… Two… One…

She stood and started jumping up and down out of pure joy and laughed gleefully. She snatched the piece of paper from where she set it and ran downstairs to find her mom. She tripped near the bottom and stumbled the rest of the way down. She raced off toward the living room where her mom was probably teasing her little brother - he was four years younger than she was - and maybe her dad about something. Her suspicions were correct, but they all stopped talking as soon as she ran in. She caught her breath - unfortunately, she was way out of shape - and started squealing happily, waving her arms around.

Everyone laughed at her - which didn't bother her much, they're her family, she laughs at them too - and her mom asked why she was so worked up.

"Look!" Sam replied, shoving the paper in her face. She grabbed it and held it a few inches away from her face so she could read it. She skimmed over it but got the gist of it pretty quickly. Her face lit up and she suddenly hugged her daughter. She hugged her back, chanting "I got in! I got in!" over and over again. Her dad and brother immediately got what she meant and joined in the happy-fest.

Wondering what the heck's going on? You see, if Sam were to be 'labeled,' she would be labeled as a geek and/or nerd. She's nearly blind as a bat, so she has to wear pretty thick glasses. No glasses equals having to have a book half an inch from her face in order to read it. Yeah, they're pretty thick. They're stylish though, so she doesn't really mind wearing them over her pale green eyes. She also has a problem with acne on her face and shoulders; it just doesn't seem to want to go away and stay away. The last thing would be: she is smart. Or just a quick learner and a better memory. She can get straight A's with only minimal effort.

Although, out of the usual smart, beautiful, and funny that guys usually look in for girlfriends and such, the smarts is the only thing she has going for her. Maybe a little bit of funny. She wouldn't say she's the ugliest girl in the world but she definitely thinks she's not pretty or beautiful. Her five foot two height with her somewhere around one seventy pound weight, makes her pretty large. Her clothes sizes are quite a few bigger than other girls around her age. It's genetic though and she loves her food too dang much to even think about giving it all up just to fit in with everyone else. It's. Not. Worth. It.

The only thing about herself that she absolutely loves is her hair. She adores it so much and takes very good care of it. She is proudly a brunette and it will probably not be much shorter than the waist-length it usually is. The thing she loves most about it is that it's very wavy. Other than her hair, there's not much else she's exactly proud of. Physically, at least; she loves being smart! This is actually why she's so happy, we can get moving on now to the explanation, finally!

She is officially fourteen years old and just coming out of junior high. Just three short months away she gets to start her Freshman year of high school. Joy. Note the sarcasm. While she is not so excited of her role as a lower classman, it does help when she gets to not go to her town's public high school and gets to go to Abbey Private High School! The prestigious school is supposed to be one of the best in the nation, and it so very kindly offered a full scholarship to one very lucky in-coming Freshman who was 'worthy' enough. Guess what? That's Sam! She took the very special test and out of fifty-and-some-odd kids, she was the only one to get above the minimum score that was set which would've been the only way to actually impress their school board members and accept her. Needless to say, she had the best score, but that would have meant little if she hadn't passed the minimum score.

Of course, now she has to wake up half an hour earlier just to get ready in time to walk all the way across town, and she's sure her new uniform is just wonderful…

Wonderful enough to throw in her fireplace.
