Summary: This is Bey City Academy where beyblading is used to help evaluate students, and they are ready for senior year. I stink at summaries r&r!
This is Bey City Academy where beyblading is used to help evaluate students, providing them with rankings from Rank A to D. Academics also have a roll in the students' final ranking, however, in order to achieve the top ranking , students must excel in beyblading and academics.
This year Bey City Academy is receiving a new transfer student who has just arrived in front of the main building. He looked up at the doorway from the foot of the stairs, ready to begin his senior year at his new school.
"Tyson wake up!" said a shrill voice from an answering machine in the dorm room of Tyson Granger. The room was as messy as its owner with clothes and books lying around everywhere yet Tyson always knew where his beyblade, Dragoon, his lifeline at Bey City Academy was at all times. Tyson stirred in his tangled up sheets and picked up the phone.
"Argh, I'm up chief stop nagging me!" He said into the phone as he scratched a few places and pulled himself up.
"Well hurry up already Tyson. I got tired of waiting for you and you're already late for homeroom." Kenny talked back to him through his cell phone as he paced around the boys bathroom in the Academy. Tyson managed to get up and pulled his legs through the pile of junk he had in his room.
"Ok so...homeroom is pointless anyway." He continued, pulling his feet out from the clutter.
"You forget what today is? It's the first day of the semester; you're going to miss the student rankings if you don't hurry up." He pointed out to Tyson who jumped after hearing the news.
"Seriously! Argh I gotta go." He shouted before hanging up and when he did his answering machine turned on again.
"You have THREE new messages." The mechanical voice spoke before Tyson slammed his hand on the delete button. He looked around the room and looked for his uniform, which consisted of a long or short sleeve shirt, tie and slacks. A vest or a jacket could've been worn over the shirt, and girls had the option of a skirt instead of the pants. Tyson raced around his dorm which had more space since his previous roommate moved away to another school. Roommates at the academy were assigned at random so Tyson was unable to dorm with his best friend Kenny.
He pulled his uniform together and got changed quickly before running out the door and to his first day of being a senior at Bey City Academy.
Back at school, first period had just ended but while the students roamed the halls, an announcement came over the PA. The school's Principal Mr. Dickinson said this…
"Attention, attention: will all senior students please report to the auditorium in the Performing Arts Center for their rankings. Again all senior students to the auditorium thank you."
"Wow I can't believe this is the last year for us already; ugh where did the time go?" Mariah pleaded as she headed down the hall with her friends Hilary, Matilda and Julia.
"What are you complaining about Mariah? We're finally allowed to have a car on campus now that we're seniors." Julia retorted as they turned into the crowded stairwell.
"Well not all of us are so lucky Julia; my parents won't get me a car after the last um…incident." Hilary commented about the last speeding ticket she received, bringing up bad thoughts.
"Yeah, and how you got Mariam to split an apartment with you is another thing; where is she and Emily by the way?" Matilda finally took part in the conversation, always the quite one she is. Apartments on the other hand are offered by the academy as the most lucrative housing and are pretty expensive and are only offered to junior and senior classmen; like the normal dorms only two students are allotted to an apartment. Julia got lucky when the rest of her friends turned her down, Mariam, her roommate finally agreed to split one with her.
"Their homeroom is on the other side of the building so let's just wait for them outside." Mariah answered for Julia as they exited the building.
"Okay then you're all set. Just head to your third period class after you leave the auditorium." A lady behind the registration counter said as she handed a few papers to the new student. He took them and nodded before he walked out of the office and towards the auditorium.
"Chief, wait up!" Tyson yelled across the courtyard as he came running for his friend, turning heads as he bumped into everyone he possibly could have, and he didn't stop, or he couldn't stop until he collided with Kenny. One of those people he bumped into was Tala Ivanov, someone who just couldn't stand the petulance of someone like Tyson. How Tyson even remained a student there blew his mind; such a slacker didn't deserve to be in the same class as he.
"Grr, I'm gonna get that kid one day. Just one slip up and I'll have him thrown out of here so fast his head will spin." He grumbled, fists shaking as he watched Tyson topple over Kenny.
"What's up your butt, Tala?" He heard someone ask and turned to find an acquaintance of his.
"Oh, it's you Garland. Nothing just got brushed off by the most irritating kid in the class." Garland looked over Tala's shoulder to see Tyson pulling Kenny off the ground.
"Eh, just forget it Tala, he's just a Rank D student, always has been always will be, no threat to us. Even his friends there are only Rank B at best." He said as he led Tala inside the auditorium. Meanwhile Tyson and Kenny met up with couple of their friends.
"Geez Tyson what side of the bed did you wake up on?" Ray asked him as he observed his friends' bed head and messy clothes.
"The same one as everyday, Ray." Max added with a smirk.
"Oh, be quiet. My alarm clock is busted that's all." Tyson made up an excuse, and a bad one at that, while he adjusted the cap on his head.
"Sure, whatever you say." Ray joked and couldn't help but smirk at his friend.
"Hey did you guys see that sports car in the student's parking lot? I wonder if it belongs to that new kid my homeroom teacher mentioned." Max chimed in as the four of them walked into the auditorium.
"New kid; I wonder if he's here now." Tyson said as he peered into the crowd of students trying to spot some new faces.
"Come on let's take our seats before the assembly starts." Kenny mentioned, leading to them taking their seats.
"Finally where were you?" Hilary asked as she and the rest of her group was approached by Mariam and Emily, the prior looked as if she was about to rip someone's head off.
"We got stuck behind a wall of wayward freshmen in front of the staircase." Emily explained as she fixed her glasses while Mariam took her ponytail down and let her hair down.
"Honestly, were we that dense when we started here; I swear any longer and elbows would've been thrown." Mariam complained.
"Well come on, don't wanna be late after all." Mariah suggested as she pulled Hilary into the auditorium, followed by the others. Taking their seats the ladies saw the auditorium was packed with seniors as Mr. Dickinson stood by the podium on stage, preparing for the assembly.
"I hope I get ranked higher than last year, but then again I bombed on my beyblading test again. Oh, why me?" Hilary pulled her hair in agony, driving herself insane over her lack of beyblading talent.
"Hey I know I did well on my tests." Mariah said crossing her arms.
"Yeah, I have nothing to be nervous about too." Julia added to her friend's comment. Just then the lights in the auditorium went out and the lights on the stage turned on, causing everyone to look at their principle.
"Now everyone settle down. First off I'd like to welcome you all back to Bey City Academy for your senior year. I know what you all must be thinking but let me remind you that you should enjoy every moment or else you'll regret it." Mr. Dickinson began until someone in the crowd shouted.
"Get on with it old man!" the shout of a male student came across the auditorium, but Dickinson didn't seem give it any notice and continued.
That's three days detention for you Mystel... Dickinson thought, knowing where the voice came from.
"Now, this year instead of giving you all your overall rankings separately, myself along with the rest of the board of directors decided to give them along with your beyblading ranks. There are about two hundred of you so we will list them by increments of ten, starting from the bottom." He said before clicking a button on the podium, turning the projector on revealing the students' stats. Everyone looked on at the screen, trying to find their names and hoping it wouldn't be too low.
"One thirty?" Hilary shouted finding her name on the screen. Her school picture along with her name and ranking, Rank C was displayed on the list. The list looked like a graphic on Sportscenter which made it appear pleasing to the eye.
"Hey it's better than last year, and you beat that Andrew kid finally." Matilda pointed out to her friend, in an attempt to cheer her up. As time passed everyone found their names on the list; Kenny was fourty second, Rank B!
"Yes! I knew those improvements to my beyblade would help." He cheered.
Matilda, Rank C and number twenty nine; Emily was twenty fourth and was given Rank B, and Mariah found herself as number twenty one and was given a B rank as well. Julia discovered that she was seventeenth in beyblading and given an A rank. The list moved on until Mr. Dickinson turned on his microphone.
"And now for the top ten beybladers in the senior class…" he began before any and all clamoring in the crowd of students had ceased immediately to hear the principal out.
"Number ten is Kane Yamashita, Rank A." Dickinson announced as a brief applause came from the crowd.
"Number nine…Mariam Campbell, Rank A." the pleasantly surprised bluenette heard the principal say her name as an image of her appeared on the screen like everyone before her. (idk i just gave her any last name that came to mind.)
"Number eight is Max Tate, Rank B." another brief applause followed as it did with the rest of the top ten.
"Number seven is Ray Kon, also Rank B." Dickinson announced before a brief applause and a shriek from Mariah.
"All right!" Max and Ray cheered together as they engaged in a high-five.
"Number six; Ozuma Shimada, Rank A." No surprise for many students as the sixth ranked beyblader in the school sat as if nothing had happened at all, always so serious. (same with Mariam's naming scheme, there wasn't one.)
"Number five; Tala Ivanov, again Rank A." Tala smirked and chuckled briefly upon hearing the news, arrogant as ever.
"Let's see that slack…" he began while Dickinson continued the countdown.
"Number four is Tyson Granger, err Rank D." Tala's jaw dropped while Tyson cheered and jumped out of his seat in excitement before his friends pulled him back down.
"Number three; Kai Hiwatari, Rank A." Dickinson said, but the crowd didn't really applaud this time. Who the heck was that, Kai Hiwatari? By senior year everyone recognized everyone but not this guy.
"Who…?" Tyson said to himself as he and everyone else got a good look at him as his image appeared on the screen.
"Never seen him before; he must be the new student I heard about." Max hypothesized.
"Number three and A ranked, this kid must be good." Ray concluded before the countdown continued.
"Yeah I wonder what school he must've come from." Kenny added.
"Number two is Brooklyn Masefield, Rank C." more applause ensued before Mr. Dickinson cleared his throat.
"Now for the number one spot…" he began as the student's grew quiet again.
"The Number one beyblader for the fifth semester in a row and Rank A student is none other than Garland Siebald." The crowd applauded again.
"No surprise there, all though I can't say I don't impress even myself." The number one beyblader remarked through a smirk. Dickinson concluded the assembly and let the students out. As everyone walked out they were all discussing their rankings and how they wished they were in the top ten just as Tyson who walked outside along with Kenny as Max and Ray broke off and went their own way.
"You know chief; I surprise myself with how awesome I am." Tyson boasted as he and Kenny walked across the courtyard. They would've kept going until something, rather someone stopped them.
"You Tyson?" They heard a male voice call out. Stopping in their tracks Tyson and Kenny turned to find the source of that voice.
"Wait you're…"
