A/N: I have the story in a sort of diary form, but not really I guess, but it will let you know what time it is, where they are, the date, and who exactly is speaking. I'm doing this because I know that in a few of my other stories I confused some people by never really saying who's perspective it was. Anyways, enjoy the story and remember to R&R!

P.S. To anyone who's wondering, I haven't given up on Boys, Girls, and Beyblades, I'm just rewriting it. But this time it is going to be in third person and will be slightly different.

Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade or any of it's characters, however I do own this storyline and the OC's.

Summery: Love sucks, especially when you find yourself falling for who you thought was your worst enemy. It gets even worse when he finds out, taunts you because of it, and then realizes that he just may be falling for you too.

Chapter One: Just My Luck

Hall Closet

What is it about being a teenager that makes you go gaga over some idiot? What happened to the good ole days when boys were nasty and they didn't want to come anywhere near you either because you had cooties?

Right about now I would give anything to have those days back.

I mean, if I knew that being a teenager would make this happen to me I would have found a way to stay a kid longer. I am not ready to be in love. Especially not with someone as immature as He is.

Why would I even want to be in love with Him in the first place? No. Scratch that. Why would my heart want to be in love with Him? Because I have been trying to fall out of love with Him for the longest.

It just isn't working, which completely and totally sucks.

I can't even stand the guy. He is one of the most annoying people that I have ever met. We'll be sitting in class and He will sit there and poke me in the back the whole time while meowing in my ear.

So I guess that means He's crazy too because for some reason He thinks that He's a cat and I am His scratching post.

I swear He gets on my nerves on purpose. He does it just to annoy me. He wants me to kill Him.

Tika says He only annoys me because He likes me. So do Marti, Jo, and Tallie. But what do they know? They're not in love with the most annoying boy in the school.

All of the guys that they like actually happen to be pretty decent.

Which brings me to another point. How can we not get along when we have all the same friends.

I mean, I have known Kai and Ray my whole life. They're basically like older brothers to me. I met Max and Kenny four years ago and they're my brothers now too.

He came into the picture about two years ago and became immediate friends with all of the guys. Maybe because He is Jo and Tallie's cousin and hung around with us when He first got here. The guys had to get to know Him.

When He first got here, Tika had a crush on Him. She said that He was cute. Which, I have to admit, is totally true. It is probably His only good quality.

Anyway, Kai was extremely jealous because Tika has always been crushing on him. So, at least one good thing came from His arrival; Tika and Kai finally hooked up.

They've been going out for about a year and a half now. It is really odd though, because Tika and Kai are polar opposites.

Tika is all talkative and bubbly. Sometimes you just can't get her to shut up. She loves being surrounded by others, especially if she is the center of attention and she always, always, has a smile on her face. Even when she's sad she has a smile on her face.

Kai, however, is nothing like that. He likes to keep to himself most of the time. Talking is one of his lesser abilities and one of his favorite pastimes is to sit in a corner and glare daggers at whoever disturbs his peace. However, there are rare moments when he smiles, not a smirk, but a real, genuine smile. Those moments are few and far in between. They are also totally priceless.

But I'm getting off topic here. This is about Him. The bane of my existence and the love of my relatively short life.

He is the most obnoxious, self-absorbed, annoying person that I have ever met. I never even knew that it was possible for one person to have so many bad qualities. And it's like I'm the only one who can see these horrible qualities that He has.

Everyone else thinks that He is just great. They can't get enough of Him. I, on the other hand, can't seem to get away from Him.

He's everywhere. With my friends, at my school, at my hangouts…everywhere. The only place He's not at is my house. And I am sure it is only a matter of time before Jo and Tallie take Him there to pick me up to go someplace. When that happens, I just know that He will be at my house everyday just to annoy me.

He already calls me every night just to annoy me. Mom met Him a few hours ago when she dropped me off at the dojo. When she met Him she said, "You are so sweet, well mannered, and very handsome." then she looked at me and said, "It's no wander you like him, dear."

She said it right in front of him. I have never been so embarrassed in my life.

Naturally, I denied it. But she just smiled and winked at me and said, "Okay, dear."

Okay dear. She goes and tells my biggest secret--one that she wasn't even supposed to know because I haven't told anyone, not even Tika, yet--and all she can say is "okay dear"!

My life is completely and totally ruined and all she can say is "okay dear"!

No, it is not okay. I will never be able to look him in the face again because now He knows. He knows that I like Him.

I tried to tell Him that my mom was just dishing out nonsense. But I know He didn't believe me. I know because of the look He gave me. This horrible mocking look. He knows that I like Him and is never, never, going to let me live it down.

So now, here I am, locked in the hall closet avoiding Him at all costs, hoping and praying that Jo or Tallie is the one who finds me here cowering like the pathetic person that I am instead of Him. Because if He finds me…

I don't even want to think about what will happen if He's the one who finds me. At least if Jo or Tallie find me they won't prod and tease me. They may even be a little sympathetic.

Tika, on the other hand, when she finds out will probably jump up and down pointing at me while screaming, "I knew it! I just knew it! You can't hide anything from me Hilary Lorraine Tatibana!" Marti will just nod sagely and give me one of her all knowing looks which will be just as bad as Tika.

The vivid image of my friends taunting me slips from my mind when I hear someone stop outside the closet. I stand up, holding my breath and praying that it is anyone but Him.

The doorknob turns and the door opens, the person standing there makes my heart jump into my throat and I try to swallow it so that I can give my most menacing scowl.

No such luck. I'm pretty sure I look like a deer caught in the headlights because that is exactly how I feel.

"Ah, there you are Hilary," He says with a cocky grin. "I've been looking all over for you."

I finally manage to swallow the lump in my throat and say, "A-and why is that?" I scowl at the tremor in my voice. It makes me sound so weak.

His grin widens. "Well, since you've been gone for so long, I thought that maybe you had gotten lost on the way to the bathroom," He looked past me, more deeply into the closet. "I can see that I was right."

I frown slightly, trying to feign innocence. "I have no idea what you mean," thank God my voice is sturdier! "I was merely looking for the coat that I let Jo borrow a few days ago."

He lifts a brow before slowly reaching over my head and pulling the string that turns on the light. "This may help you a bit."

He leaned in extremely close to so that our lips were nearly touching. I felt an involuntary shudder run through my body as I resisted the urge to reach up and cup His cheek. He was just teasing me, I knew that. But that didn't stop my eyes from closing and my chin lifting in anticipating. It's like my body just refused to listen to me and just couldn't wait to be rejected.

My thoughts were confirmed when he whispered very softly, "Unless of course you're just trying to hide from someone. And if that's the case," He pulled back and my eyes fluttered open, "you should find a much better hiding place."

My scowl finally surfaces as I watch him walk away. It's just my luck that He was the one to find me; it's just my luck that my mother has to have the biggest mouth in the history of all big mouths; it's just my luck that I have to have fallen for Tyson Leroy Granger, the biggest jerk on the face of the earth who also happens to have the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen; it's just my luck that any doubts that he had about my feelings for him just flew out the window; and it's just my luck that he now has a license to taunt me for the rest of my life.

I look heavenwards and sigh. "Please have mercy and just kill me now."

And it's just my luck that whatever deity is up there listening to me is probably having a good time laughing at my situation and decides to let me live. After all, here I am, still standing…and breathing.
