Hey, so I got my pokemon White today! WOOOO But, I can't fully start until my friend helps me get all the starters. It's rare that I actually like all of them, that's only happened with the Hoenn starters. So I'm gonna have Megumi the Serperior, Zhu BaJie the Emboar, and Samurai the Samurott. What do you think of the names? Megumi Hayashibara is Tsutarja's voice actress in Best Wishes (japanese, of course) and Anna from Shaman King, Zhu BaJie is the pig character from Journey to the West and well, Samurott's a fucking samurai sea otter.

splitheart: totally, Shun's an effing genius. And Katie does suck. She's not actually this mean, but she does hate dealing with competition.

DarkPrincess: thanks!

Music: you got it!

So, sorry this chapter is very short. Because it's a high school fic, the chapters won't be as long as other stories of mine.

I do not own Bakugan, only Ayden, Azreal and other OCs.


Ayden's POV

It was the end of the day and thankfully very few people noticed me with a large bouquet of roses from Green Wind. I never liked being the centre of attention and no doubt news of me receiving the most roses would alert everyone in the school.

I still couldn't believe. I seriously started considering the possibility that there was another girl named Ayden Grit at school who was far more attractive than I. But…I suppose maybe there was a chance that these roses really were for me…and I was sure that I wasn't dreaming. I had pinched myself several times earlier today.

The bell had rung, signaling our release and everyone was flooding out, likely to head to malls with friends of hang out at someone's house. I didn't have the luxury of either of those choices. I waited a few extra minutes for the halls to clear before taking the large bouquet out of my locker. The roses were still fine despite my hasty actions to get them in there, something I was grateful for.

I put a few books into my book bag and slung it over my shoulder before pulling out the bouquet. I shut my locker and began walking down the empty hallway to the exit.

All of a sudden, I felt someone grab the back of my shirt and slam me against the lockers. The impact nearly knocked me off my feet, but I managed to regain my balance, hugging the bouquet out of sudden reaction. I looked up and saw that it was Katie who had cornered me.

"All right, listen kid. I don't know if this is some sick prank, but don't start thinking that one person starts sending you roses makes you better than me! There's a pyramid hierarchy and I'm on the top and you're on the bottom! Got it?"

I quickly nodded my head, just wanting her to leave me alone. I never asked for all this attention and now I was on Katie's bad side, the worst place to be.

"Got it?" she asked me, more forcefully.

"Yes!" I squealed.

"Good," she backed away from me and I relaxed. Suddenly she snatched the roses from arms. "And give me those! It's obvious someone wrote your name by accident, because I'm the prettiest girl in school and I get all the roses! And don't you forget it!"

She walked away, leaving me to absorb her threat, with the roses in hand. I instantly felt all the self-esteem I had gained from receiving those flowers drain out of me like when Baron eats at a buffet.

I felt my eyes getting watery and quickly wiped away the tears before they could flow down my face. I noticed something on the floor. I knelt down and picked it up. It was the card that came with the roses, the card from Green Wind.

I smiled to myself before pocketing the card and heading home. If I couldn't keep the roses, I could at least keep the one thing that brought a smile to my face today.


I hope you enjoyed that and sorry again that it's so short! Need some ideas for next chapter, remember, I'm making this up as I go along.
