Back In Town

Hilary and Tyson were walking back to their home from school. The alley was silent as no one was there besides them. Tyson was walking forward and Hilary was a little away from him. She was looking down at the road.

"Urgh! I am bored practicing alone. When will everyone come back?" he said to which she replied, "As if they all told me."

He stopped, turned around and said, "Why are you always so annoying?" She looked at him and said, "I am annoying?"

"Yes you are."

"Well then you should leave me alone" she turned her face aside. Tyson looked at her annoyed and said, "I want to leave you alone but you're the one who comes with me every time."

"Oh really?! You're the one who asks me to walk with you to your home" she said angrily.

"Because I don't want any other guy to go with you!" he yelled. Her face turned red. He then realized what he said.

"You said what?" she asked as she looked down at the road. He didn't reply. He hesitated because he would say something to hurt her. He blushed a little and said, "You know Hil, you are really beautiful. You are a very good friend of mine."

"That's not what I want to hear. You said something else" she said while she still looked down at the road, blushing.

"Uhh, Hilary-" Tyson hesitated. He didn't continue she just looked at her tomato red face. She continued, "You know Tyson, I always watch you read a paper and whenever I come around you just hide it. That vexes me every time. What is so important in it that you cannot trust to show me? Is it some sort of love letter from your secret admirer?"

"Uh... Hilary that letter is for certain someone" he replied knowing that the letter was for Hilary.

"Yeah, I know. I wanted to know who this certain someone is. I'm sorry Tyson, I stole the letter" she said and slid her hand into her pocket and took out the letter and continued, "I didn't read it yet. I want to read it right here, in front of you."

"Hilary, give me that!" he said and reached towards her to take the letter but it was too late. She already opened it and read it aloud, "Your hair is a shiny bliss, your eyes are bright as thousand rubies and your voice is a melody. You are annoying but you are soft. You cared for me when I needed someone the most. Trust me, I don't know what love is and I have no idea how others feel about it but what I do know is I love you. I love you the most. I don't expect any reply nor do I think I will give this to you. I don't want to lose the last of us."

He stood there stunned thinking if she understood it was for her or not. He didn't say a word nor did she. They just stood there embarrassed, one because of the letter and other because of reading such a cute confession. She was heartbroken. He wanted to reveal his 'certain someone'. She said, "Tyson, whom is this for?"

There was silence. He finally decided what to say. He breathed in and said, "Hair as a shiny bliss, eyes as thousand rubies and the voice is a melody. My certain someone is no one other than you Hilary. I love you."

She looked at his face, bright red after such an embarrassing moment. She felt relieved and said, "Maybe this isn't the reply you were expecting," she came closer and continued, "Your hair is mess, you don't have shiny eyes and you are always stuck with your little toy but you are awesome, you are a dreamer and you want to achieve your dreams. I don't know what love is either and how people really fall in love but I feel hurt when you leave, I want to stay with you longer, I want you to take care of me and make me feel good whenever I'm down. Maybe this is what they call love and if this is it then, Tyson, I love you."

"I'm not sure what to say," he blushed. She walked forward and said, "Make up something good in the given time." She didn't turn back she walked forward slowing with a smile on her face. He wanted to say something but couldn't make up anything to say as she was walking away. He wanted her to stop. He pulled her hand and held her by her waist, close to him. She kept her hand on his chest for support.

"Don't leave" he said.

"Don't you want to go home?"

"You're my home"

She pushed him away and said with a smile, "Stop using such childish pickup lines." She turned and walked away. He looked at her walking away, smiling.

Tyson opened the slide door to enter into his home. His grandpa was standing at the entrance, waiting for him. Tyson looked at him and said, "what is it grandpa? You look really happy." He smiled and replied, "Someone you were waiting for so long is here."

Tyson opened the slide door of dojo and saw Riri and Kai sitting close to each other and talking. Riri turned and saw Tyson and said, "Hey there beyblade freak!"

"You really got a nickname for me," he was annoyed and then noticed her eyes, "you used makeup, red eyeshadow and starry glitter, CLING."

"You don't know anything about women's fashion" she replied. He looked down at her hand and noticed bandages and continued, "You're hand hasn't healed yet?"

"Nah!" she lied.

Tyson looked at Kai and said, "Hey bro, why aren't you saying anything. I know your cold attitude but a simple HEY won't hurt." Kai smiled. Tyson was shocked and said, "Did you really SMILE?" he looked at Riri, "Hey Magician, tell me what magic have you done. This isn't the Kai we know." She giggled and replied, "I don't know. Maybe he was missing you and that's why you made him smile."

Tyson sat down and Riri added, "By the way, I talked to Judy. She said Max will leave tonight."

"Oh, Great! What about Ray?" Tyson asked.

"I haven't talked to him yet. I think he already left for Tokyo."

"Great! Now our team will be back together," he lied down on the floor, "Hey Riri why don't we have a beybattle. I never had a good fight with you."

"Okay." She took out her blade. Tyson looked at it and said, "Where's Polaris? I don't want a mock battle. Let's have serious battle with Polaris."

"First off, Naitowolf is a strong blade so don't say I don't play serious when I'm using Naitowolf. Secondly, Polaris is damaged. I can't use it until Summer Tournament."

"Why not?"

"Because I think my wounds aren't healing because of Polaris. So why not keep it for the big show." She smiled.

"Uh huh, you're not wrong, let's keep the awesomeness for later" he said and got up, "I need to keep my bag upstairs and get fresh. Keep yourself filled for the mean time."

He left the dojo room. Riri looked at Kai and said, "When shall we tell them about it?" He didn't look at her and said, "About what?"

"About us" she said and got closer. She pinched his cheek and said, "Darn boy, don't be so rude. I'm your girlfriend."

"You're not my girlfriend," he looked at her and continued, "You're my life." She blushed and said, "You dolt! Being cute doesn't suit you."

He smiled.
