Chapter 1: A New Family
"Now I've left you guys only because you can train better here, and a the first tournament in five years is coming into New York City in two months! This was the closest location to NYC as I could find. And you have just enough time for you to scope out the competition," Mr. Dickinson said with a grin as they drove into Short Hills, NJ. Tyson, Max, Ray, Kenny and Kai were going from Japan to America as exchange students. They would all stay with the same host family in Short Hills. "If anything happens, and I mean anything bad or exciting, call me," he continued. All of a sudden a pink convertible with silver flames cut in front of them. They slammed on the breaks, which caused them all to get whiplash. The other car didn't seem to notice anything.
"Whoa! That was a close one," Max said rubbing the back of his neck.
"You got that right," Ray said still trying to recover from the whiplash.
"Jerk," Tyson said lowly.
Kenny was holding on to the van for dear life, while Kai just looked down, grunted, and mumbled the words ass hole. They all looked down the block that the car just made another sharp turn like it did before. In the car were four girls around their age. The one who was driving had brown hair with red tips and grass green eyes. The girl next to her had long black hair with pink streaks and tickle me pink eyes. The one behind her had shoulder length black hair with blue streaks and the same color eyes. And the one next to her had blonde hair with hazel eyes.
They passed 5 blocks and finally turned onto a street called Willow St. It was narrower than the rest, but longer and with bigger houses. The car pulled up in the driveway of a new, pink, Victorian house. "Here we are," Mr. Dickinson said as he got out of the van. The five boys fallowed.
"Wow this is a lot different from home," Tyson said.
"Your tellin' me that," Ray said looking up at the three story house. They got their stuff out of the van and walked up the stairs. Mr. Dickinson rang the doorbell. After a few minutes of waiting a man, women, and a little boy opened the door with happy faces.
"Hello," the women said still smiling. She had long blonde hair with sky blue eyes. The man had short pitch-black hair and eyes. And the boy had brown hair with highlights of dirty blonde, and dark green eyes.
"Hello, I'm Mr. Dickinson," he sad sticking his hand out and shaking each of the three people's hands.
"I'm Garret Crystal, this is my wife Kellie, and our son Tucker," the man said. "Please come in," he continued.
"I'm going to say good-bye now. You boys be good," Mr. Dickinson said hugging all of them one at a time. "Bye!" he yelled as he got into the van and drove away.
Mr. Crystal made a pathway for the boys to walk into the house. It was huge! It had a high ceiling and a big stairway in front of them. Mrs. Crystal led them into the living room where the boys sat down.
"So who's who?" Tucker said.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Tyson," Tyson said.
"I'm Ray,"
"I'm Kenny,"
"I'm Max,"
"Kai,"
"So how old may you be?" Mrs. Crystal asked.
"Me and Max are 16," Tyson said pointing to Max.
"Kai and I are 17," Ray said pointing to Kai who was still looking angry as usual.
"I'm 15, but I take senior classes with Ray and Kai," Kenny said looking smart.
"Oh, how nice," Mrs. Crystal said.
Just than the front door slammed closed. "Ma? I'm home!" a girl yelled. Mrs. Crystal came running into the front hall. "So, when the foreign people comin'?" she asked loudly enough for them to hear. They walked into the room with the guys and the rest of the family. She stopped while the mother sat down. She was the girl who was driving the red car.
"Eve, this is Tyson, Max, Kenny, Ray, and Kai, our new exchange students," her mom said happily pointing to the boys individually.
"Oh, hey," she said casually throwing her keys on the table. "I just wanted you to know that I invited three of my friends over tomorrow," she said as she started to walk out of the room.
"Oh honey? Can you show these nice boys to their rooms?" her mom yelled to stop her.
"Yeah sure," she said with no manners. The boys got up and got their stuff that they dropped in the front hall and followed Eve up the stairs, and Tucker followed. "Okay, so we don't have all separate rooms for all of you, but We have three so two people in two rooms and one person in the third," she said as she stopped at the first door to the left.
"Ah…I guess I'll go in the first one," Tyson said smiling and blushing for she was a very pretty girl. (^_^)
"I'll crash with you," Max said. Eve opened up the first room. It was about half the size of the big living room. Tyson and Max walked inside.
"Okay, feel free to explore the house, but suppers at 5:30," Eve said as she walked on. She soon came to a second door on the right side of the hall.
"I got this room," Ray said. Eve hadn't noticed any of them a whole lot, but they all seemed to notice her.
"Huh…I guess I'll go with you," Kai said. They walked into the room almost identical to Tyson and Max's, except that it was flipped.
Eve and Kenny moved on to the next room, which was on the left. "I guess you get this one," she said as she opened the door. It was nothing like the other two. Fist it was not set up the same way, but it was smaller, just cozy enough for one person.
"Thanks," Kenny said holding his laptop tightly.
Pretty soon they all got unpacked, and met in Tyson and Max's room.
"Hey, this is pretty cool," Max said as he plopped on a chair.
"Yeah, livin' up big time!" Ray commented.
"Yeah, but I have a feeling we are going to have a hard time dealing with Eve. I don't think she likes us very much," Tyson said crossing his arms.
"Well it's 5:30, we better head down for supper," Kenny said looking down at his watch.
So they all went down stairs and to the Dinning room, which was next to the Living room. They sat down, and ate a big feast silently, for they were all nervous.
