I Can't Read You;
TysonxKai. Chapter One.
"Tyson, you forgot to place a comma in-between that sentence. You don't need to use the and twice."
Being irritated by the fact that Hilary was shoving corrections down his throat every ten seconds, the beyblade world champion turned his pencil around and switched to the eraser end. "Urgh, where?" He groaned, trying to sooth the anger flush that growing inside the pit of his broad figure. Tyson's temper.
Hilary brushed her arm past his broad shoulder and pointed to the sentence on the English assignment paper. "Erase the second and then place a comma." She advised in a strong tone, making sure he did things properly. It was important to her that she repaid him after allowing her to tag along with the team on all the tournaments. But sometimes, the class president comes so close to just walking out and abandoning him due to his pride.
Sound alike right?
Why should Hilary fuss him? When she had straight A's already? The amount of times the teacher would pull her aside to confess that he was dragging her down, was endless! Especially since after becoming the beyblade world champion – Tyson never gave a rats arse about his education much. He was rich from the sponsors, magazines, contracts and the fans. Education right now meant nothing to him.
"Right, okay. Can I read it out loud now?" The dark haired Asian asked in a fed-up tone.
Feeling really underappreciated right now, Hilary sighed heavily as she placed her hands onto her hips. "Go for it and take your time Tyson. We both know how you can't read very well." She answered and closed her eyelids.
Feeling his pride gain a small wound from the sharp nibbling comment, Tyson rolled his teddy bear brown eyes at her and cleared his throat. "Today, I will be sp….Speaking about my book review on the novel ….Of Mice And Men. Firstly, I…" He then paused to read the word and squinted to focus.
"Would like to talk about." Hilary giggled faintly at his stuttering's. He looked so cute and innocent for once when he struggled to read out loud clearly. "Tyson, just take your time."
Losing his temper for the best this time; the world champion threw the piece of hardwork back at his desk and glared his eyes at the Bladebreaker team manager. "Will you stop laughing at me! Urgh, I don't need you Hilary. Just get lost!" Tyson snapped in temper without thinking.
Tears slowly filled up inside her eyes and her heart skipped an unhealthy beat. "Fine! I was about to leave anyways, I'm sick and tired of you under appreciating me!" Hilary concluded and reached over to grab her coat that lay on his bed. "Don't you ever ask me for help again Granger! I will quite happily watch you fail from today." And with that said, Hilary walked out the bedroom; doing her best not to cry those tears that were dwelling.
"Hilary, uh." Realising what he'd just done. Tyson slapped his forehead and rushed after the petite brunette. "Don't leave! I didn't mean it….." He paused to watch the girl run up the alleyway. "Hilary! Damn it!"
Now what!?
Placing the full stop at the end of the sentence he'd just written, the world beyblade champion allowed a proud grin to appear up onto his dry lips. After being abandoned by his team manager because of his short and thoughtless temper, Tyson really began to put the effort in to his school work. Pft, I don't need her – He thought to himself and felt his heart pound with excitement when he mentally imagined the teacher praising him like he was God. Bingo~
Within the corner of his view though, Tyson observed the reaction of Hilary when he spotted her looking in his direction. She looked disgusted. I'm guessing she's still upset with me – The Dragoon holder sighed to himself and swallowed hard, really feeling the pressure of today's subject crashing down on his broad shoulders.
"Okay class. Today we are going to be doing something a little different with the assignments." The teacher turned around from the electronic white board and faced her students with excitement and pride glowing on her peached face. "I want you, to swap them with the person who is below you in the register."
WHAT!? – Tyson screamed to himself inside his mind and instantly felt his figure go numb. The register was quite simple; it went from G to H. Meaning Granger went straight to Hiwatari. Kai Hiwatari!
The bluenette who was sat at the back of the classroom without a care in the world glared his cold expression over to the champion and huffed in frustration. "Greaaaat." The wealthy male stated in a blunt tone as he refused to move from his comfortable seat by the window. Tyson can get up to swap with me – Kai grinned to himself.
Feeling his cold glare upon him, the Granger anxiously looked over his shoulder at his rival and faintly pulled a smile on his dry lips. "Aha. Me and you then buddy?" Tyson spoke trying to keep his cool and slowly got up out his seat to swap with work with him. Kai was known for getting straight A's in the lessons even though he looked like he couldn't be arsed half the time – He was always too busy staring out the window to watch the stray cats run by. Entertaining -.-;
Tyson looked forward to reading out his work, meanwhile Kai looked like he didn't really care. He just picked up Tyson's book review and looked at it like an examiner. "You so didn't write this yourself." Kai commented refusing to spare him another glance.
"Uh, I so did! Well, towards the end I did." Tyson sulked and sat back at his desk to look through Kai's assignment. It was full of big posh words! Fuck! – He sunk into his chair and gulped. What the fuck was on…ono….onoma-top-oeia! (onomatopoeia) I swear I heard Miss mention that once.
"Okay. Hilary, who would you like to go first then sweet?" The teacher asked, looking at her class president with joy.
"Tyson and Kai obviously. I have been waiting for the review on my favourite book."
"I bet you have." Tyson growled in a low tone at the class president then looked over to the Hiwatari, hoping he'd go first and save him from being humiliated so quickly. But the spoilt lone-wolf didn't move an inch, he sat there waiting for the rival to stand up. "Oh don't pull a muscle Kai. Fine, I'll go first."
"Tyson! Don't be so rude." The teacher interrupted, dying to laugh inside.
"Pft." He huffed and picked up Kai's work. This was going to be one hell of an embarrassment; one Hilary and Kai will never forget anytime soon too. The tension in the atmosphere just added the pressure too, everyone stopped speaking and looked to the beyblader with an interested expression. "Well, I have Kai Hiwatari's work and just glancing through it briefly. I think he did a great job on explaining how he has broken down the book to understand certain. Erm. Meanings. Meanings that are hidden within the book."
Kai at this point raised an eyebrow. Is he trying to wing it? – He asked himself and blinked with an amused expression lighting up on his pale face.
"Did he?" The teacher nodded. "Can you read some of his work to show this."
"Erm. Sure." Sweat was gathering upon his forehead as Tyson did his best to try and avoid reading out loud. "Erm. Here. He's stated how all the male characters have a nick name, but Curly's wife doesn't, because she's not as equal."
"Read some. Tyson." Hilary rolled her eyes. "We all know that."
"There are many hidden his...historical meanings within this story as it deve...lops. For example; how Crooks is iso...isolate...isolated for the colour of his skin."
A/N: This is my very first yaoi story and I am so excited to see what you all thought. I can actually imagine many of us relate to Tyson right now - Struggling to read out loud. But how will the next chapter involve Kai a little more? Yes the next chapter will contain more yaoi (boyxboy) elements, so please stay tuned. Plus! A big dedication to DarkMidnightmoon for the inspiration, thank you so much. R&R. Lots of Love - XOAnn13OX.
