Chapter 2
It's not what it seems
Rei was looking at the clock to see that its almost time for class, and yet no teacher. This must go in the record book. He saw some students making out, while other polishing their… what was it again? Oh yeah, Beyblades. Then there were the goody-goody ones, the preps, the losers, the loners. Rei didn't belong to neither of them. He had his own group of friends.
"Hey Rei." Said teen looked up to see a blond boy with the most illegal-looking eyes. They were big and a baby blue.
"What's up Max," He smiled at his friend.
"Oh nothing, I just saw a new student!" Max said with a soft voice.
"Really now," Rei raised an eyebrow. He knows Max getting a bit hyper with new people. That's why he is the main target for bullies. Max could be so forgiving, but once mad better stay as far away from him.
"Yeah, he's kind of cute. Has slate hair. Grey on front, dark navy blue at the bottom, pale skin, and the most exotic red eyes I've ever seen. Though it feels like I know him." Max muttered the last words. Rei still heard him.
"Rei, are we still up for the party tonight?" A pink haired girl said hugging him from behind.
"Sure. Just tell Lee I'll be there a bit late. Got detention with Mr. Mac." Rei smiled.
"Why is it that you always get detention with the wrong teachers?" The pink haired girl rolled her eyes.
"Can't help but be favored by them. You know that by now Mariah." At that moment their teacher came in.
He had dirty blond hair, green eyes, pale skin. Mr. Mac, the strictest teacher you ever met. (A/N: It's true I had him in 11th grade! T-T) Talk in class you get detention, use your phone detention, basically anything that gets on his nerves gives you detention; which is everything. Rei is just one of Mr. Mac's favorite students.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you." Mariah winked at him seductively.
"Okay," Rei gave her a seductive smirk.
Mariah had a body that every girl was jealous of. She knew about it, that's why she's using her body to seduce Rei tonight at the party. Rei got in anyone's pants, or skirt. He was the school's playboy.
"Alright class. I have a better reason than all of you put together. We have a new student. Come in Mr. Hiwatari." Mr. Mac said in a strict voice. Well more stricter than usual.
A boy walked in, he was a bit shorter than himself probably. Around the same height than Max. Rei stared up and down the new kid. He smirked loving the view. The boy had a blank look. Rei felt something inside him, like he knew the boy a long time ago. Nah, that can't be true. This is the first time he sees the boy in his life. He was spending way too much time with Max.
"Now, where to put you…" Mr. Mac said rubbing his shaved chin.
Rei looked around to see his chair was clear. He smirked, oh he was going to have some fun with the new kid.
"How bout next to Rei. Boy raise your hand up." The teacher said pointing at said teen.
The teen shrugged his shoulders and walked to sit next to the boy who had his hand up. He looked at the other male only to stop dead on his tracks. It feels like he has seen him somewhere before. Rei stared back at the boy, he caught an emotion. Reorganization.
Rei dismissed the teens emotion and gave him his boyish smile. The other male didn't know what to do, he only nodded to Rei and sat down taking out his notebook and pen.
"I'm Rei, nice to meet you." Said teen smiled.
"I don't care," Kai gave him a glare.
"Well you should care, I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet." Rei said not ashamed of checking out the teen.
"If I tell you my name will you stop checking me out?" Kai glared at Rei looking him dead in the eye.
"Hmmm, maybe," Rei gave him a cheeky smile.
"Kai, now leave me alone." Said teen paid his attention back to the teacher.
"So there's this party at my friends house-"
"Not interested." Kai said in a bored tone.
"You know no one has ever said no to me before." Rei said more intrigued.
"Poor you," Kai rolled his eyes. He was so close in punching Rei, just one more comment from him and he would have a nice, and pretty bruise on his face.
"Rei," Said teen looked up to see Mariah.
"Yeah?" Asked the raven haired teen.
"Lee said as long as you don't take your time doing someone, he's cool about it." Mariah smirked.
"No problem. I don't have anyone to do yet." Rei said leaning on the table, since Mariah sat right behind him.
"Hi my name is Max, remember we met this morning?" Kai said looking into a pair of illegal-looking blue eyes.
"Yes I remember, I'm Kai." He said having a funny feeling the he knew the blond boy.
"You want to have lunch with me?" Max said.
Kai saw the long line in the lunch room. He was hungry and thank god it was lunch time, or he'd be starving. He nodded to Max and began to walk with him. He noticed many glares or stares he received. Especially from the cheerleaders. Kai ignored them.
"Hey you,"
Kai ignored them and kept walking.
"I was talking to you-" A girl with orange hair and blue eyes said grabbing Kai's arm.
Kai turned around to raise a delicate eyebrow to her. She had on a cheerleaders outfit. Great. He was going to get bullied by the cheerleader team.
"Can I help you?" Kai said in a bored tone.
"Yes, I want you to apologize to my friend. You know her, brunette, brown eyes, yeah her apologize. What gives you the right to talk to her like that?" She said stabbing a finger at him.
"Leave him alone Emily," A bubble gum pinked hair girl said. She was light skin, petite, had on a green long sleeved jacket, a white blouse outside of the green skirt, a red tie neatly made. Her big innocent crimson eyes looked up to see Emily seethed at her.
"Little Matilda, what are you doing here?" Emily glared.
"Oh you know wanting to give you this," Matilda made an upper cut to Emily's chin.
Kai was astonished of what the girl just did. She looked so sweet and she even looks like one of those people that would not cause trouble. Guess he was wrong. His mouth almost dropped to the ground. He knew not to mess with her now.
"That's for putting gum on my hair, because of you I had my mother cut it!" Matilda glared at her. Her bubble gum hair is short it reached her neck.
"It's an ugly ass color," Emily tried to talk, but came out painful.
"It's my natural hair color, idiot." Matilda said, if you look closely you could see a vein almost popping out.
"Hey Matilda," Max said after a while.
Said girl looked up, somehow her whole personality changed.
"Hi Max. Sorry you had to see that." Matilda said in a now sweet voice. She blushed a bit being caught.
"It's okay, anyways this is my new friend, Kai Hiwatari. He's a transfer." Max said pointing at the slate haired teen.
"Hi Kai, I'm Matilda. Nice to meet you. Sorry you had to see my violent side. No hard feelings? I hope." Matilda blushed even more if possible from embarrassment.
"Nice to meet you too. And no hard feelings." Kai said. She looked so cute and innocent, more like a little girl with all the energy around her.
"Where are you guys sitting?" Max said looking once over the lunch room seeing it crowded.
"We are sitting outside a bench. You coming?" Matilda asked.
"Yup," Max replied.
"Cool let's go," With that they forgot about Emily and continued.
They walked outside down three steps and into a garden. there were bushes filled with many kinds of roses, and other flowers. It was more like a garden house, with a couple of benches. Not many students were there, Kai noticed. His crimson eyes landed on a table with three teens.
"Hey guys, guess who I found!" Matilda said pointing at the blond and slate haired teen.
"Hey," They all said smiling.
"I'm Tala, my boyfriend Bryan." A read head introduced himself and a silver haired teen.
"I'm Tyson." A midnight haired teen said with food in his mouth.
"Stop eating like a baby Tyson," Matilda scolded whole heartedly.
"I'm Kai Hiwatari," Kai said having a good feeling he will like these people.
"It's the pink slut," Was heard from behind them.
Everyone turned around to find Mariah with three other people. She seethed at Matilda. Kai noticed they don't liked Matilda much. Why? She's a nice girl. Could it be her violent side?
"Back off Mariah," Tala said.
"I'm talking to this pink haired slut, not the whore." Mariah laughed.
"Well you must be talking at yourself. Cause last time I heard is that you slept with two seniors and at the same time." Matilda glared daggers.
"Bitch," Mariah snapped.
"I rather be a bitch than be a whore." Matilda said in a bored tone.
"That's it you crossed the line," Mariah said attacking her.
Matilda side stepped it. Making Mariah fall flat on her head. The hot pink haired girl growled while getting up. She made to punch her, but once again Matilda stepped back gracefully. Getting tired Matilda side kick her on the face, and a round house kick on Mariah's shin. Mariah fell to the ground. Her lips bleeding, pain in her left leg. How could Matilda, the little girl from elementary school, the super shy, timid girl beat her up?
"Like I told Hilary, I've changed. I'm not the shy, timid, afraid little girl you once knew. I'm a better person now." Matilda said narrowing her cherry eyes.
"Mariah," A dark haired teen said helping his beat up friend.
"You'll pay," Mariah said holding her cheek which now consisted a purple bruise.
"I'm always told that, but you can come back for more." Matilda smirked.
Mariah and her friends left quickly giving a last glare to them.
"Way to go Matilda!" Tala and Tyson cheered.
"Thanks," She winked.
"So Kai, I know you're not Japanese. Where do you come from?" Bryan asked.
"Russia." Was Kai's simple answer.
"No way!" Tala and Bryan said at the same time.
"We're from Russia too!" Tala smirked.
"Hey Matilda," Said girl looked up.
"Yes Kai?" Matilda asked.
"How come…you know, some people," Kai was embarrassed.
"Oh. Why people don't like me." Matilda gave him a sad smile. "Well mostly because I can stand up for myself to the bullies. Like the cheerleaders, Mariah and her loonies, and the playboys. When I was little everyone used to bully me, they found I was an easy target. Middle school came and I asked my parents to take me to Military school for those three years. I hardened my heart a bit. But it really did pay off well. That's where I met Bryan."
Kai looked at the other teen. He had on a grim expression. Tala hugged him from his right.
"I bet you're wondering why I was there right?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah, but if you don't feel like telling me you don't have to." Kai said.
"Nah, I'll tell you. I was stuck in military school cause I was a trouble maker. My parents didn't know what to do with me. I used to be in a gang back in Russia, we'd steal, jump people, get into fights with other gangs. Lost so many friends. Until my parents decided to move here because the best Military school was here. My parents were happy to send me there, I learned how to control my anger, and some self defenses. That's why Matilda could kick ass." Bryan said with a smirk.
"I lived here all my life," Tyson smiled. "Nothing special, but just wanted to say something. I met Max here since the beginning of school. Matilda and Bryan began their second semester here, I was told to show them around and then we started to hang out more, and became friends eventually."
"I moved here this year. My parents are getting divorced. Mom and I came to Japan after mom found dad cheating on her with prostitutes. It was worth coming here, or I would have never met Bryan!" Tala hugged his lover. "I met Bryan through detention. I was late on MY first day of school. Mr. Mac didn't let me off the hook."
"So anything special about you?" Matilda asked.
"Well father was killed a while ago, mom lost it. We moved here to start fresh." Kai said leaving out everything.
"I'm sorry," Matilda said giving him a mother-like hug. Kai liked the hug, his mother never paid attention to him. She was always his father this, his father that. His father was the only one that hugged Kai, and even remembered his birthday.
"Thanks," Kai said still enjoying the hug.
"So after school want to hang out?" Tyson said getting up after a while.
"What do you guys do?" Kai said finishing the food.
"We normally go to the mall. Just to play, or we go out to Beyblade each other." Max said.
"I never Beyblade before," Kai said.
"You haven't?" Tala said in shock.
"It's the most fun thing to do!" Said Max excitement in his voice.
"We're defiantly going to teach you!" Matilda smiled.
At this the bell rang signaling that lunch was over.
Kai somehow liked these people, never in his life he has had someone to call a friend. He walked with Tala and Matilda for their next class. P.E.. Kai was shown to the boys locker room while Matilda went to the girl's. He was given a white shirt with the school's symbol in the middle of the chest area. And a black pair of shorts with the same symbol of the school at the bottom right of the shorts.
He walked with Tala in the musty locker room. Tala gave him his lock and combination since their P.E. teacher was too lazy. Kai changed quickly and saw that the teacher was looking at him. Matilda was the second sitting behind a guy in the first row. She waved at Kai.
"Your last name is Hiwatari, where to put you. Alright you girl move back one space, while the one in the back comes to the front, and you all get it, get to it." The coach said with a bored tone.
Kai saw the students get up and moved on where the other was it kept going until the last person was seated. Kai sat where the girl was sitting. Tala was three people behind him.
"Alright we will be running the mile today, lucky for you Kai. No warm ups today. Let's go the track.
Everyone got up and walked to the track, which was all the way in the back of the school the track is huge, the football slash soccer field was inside it. Kai almost fainted when he heard how many times they had to run.
At the teacher's whistle they all began to run.
"Come on lazy," Matilda said running. She by passed Tala who scowled and Kai who was jogging.
They kept on running for a while now. Kai was on his last lap when he saw Matilda stop. She was the second person to have finished. Kai began to run faster wanting to be the third. Lucky for him is that Tala was the first to have finished. He run so fast that his legs began to burn. He made it on just before another guy beat him.
"6:54, Hiwatari. 6:55," The coach kept on calling time while his T.A. was writing it down.
"How much did you get?" Matilda asked Kai. She was covered in sweat.
"6:54. You?" Kai said out of breath. His cheeks red.
"5:30. One day I'll beat Tala." Matilda said.
"Yeah, yeah. If you wish on it hard maybe it'll come true." Tala said while laughing.
"How much did you get?" Kai asked.
"5:05. I used to be in the track team back in middle school." Tala shrugged.
"Hey let's go before we get left behind!" Matilda said pulling both teens by their sweaty writs not caring.
Indeed, they were getting left behind. The coach and other students were already leaving for the locker rooms. The short girl led them through the opened gym.
"I'll see you guys at Tyson's at four. Since I have homework to do." With that the bubble gum haired girl left running to the locker room, before the showers were all taken.
"I feel like an over protective older brother to her." Kai said getting his things ready for the shower.
"That's Matilda for you. She can warm her heart to you, then it gets hard to forget her. We treat each other like siblings. She's like our little sister." Tala smiled.
Kai smiled and went inside the shower.
