Ch. 7
'What's going on with Mariah? Why is she acting this way?' asked Ray to himself.
"Hey Ray, what's the matter?" asked Max.
"It's just that, Mariah has been acting real strange lately." Said Ray.
"I know what you mean. I've been seeing her jump out her window to go somewhere, sometimes at night through my window." Said Max.
"What!? I think I know what might be going on! You stay here. If anyone asks, I went for a walk." Said Ray running out the door.
"Wait! Where are you going Ray?" asked Max, but by the time he finished his sentence, Ray was gone.

'I've got to find Mariah! I smell a dirty trick in the air!' thought Ray while running.
"Mariah, I was wondering, would you like to be my girlfriend?" asked Lee.
"Um. Sure, why not?" asked Mariah a bit hesitant.
"Great then. We are now officially a couple!" exclaimed Lee about to kiss Mariah.
'He's about to kiss me! Well, I guess since Ray dumped me, there's no point in trying to get him back. Lee isn't that bad a guy.' Thought Mariah preparing for a kiss.
'What!? Mariah's been cheating on me? No wonder she was acting so strangely. Why would she do something like this?' asked Ray.
"Lee? Do you feel that someone else is here?" asked Mariah.
"Yeah, I do." Said Lee.
'I got to get out of here.' Thought Ray while tears developed in his eyes.
'Probably Ray.' Thought Lee. 'Perfect.'
"Maybe it was just a squirrel." Said Mariah.
"Maybe." Said Lee.
"Oh no! I got to get going now! I'm going to be late for supper." Exclaimed Mariah.
"Bye then." Said Lee.
"Bye!" shouted Mariah running towards her room.
'You just had to interfere, didn't you Ray?' thought Lee.

"I can't believe Mariah did that." Said Ray crying a bit.
"Can't believe Mariah did what Ray?" asked Tyson.
"Nothing." Said Ray.
"No really, what did she do?" asked Tyson.
"She's cheating on me. I saw her with Lee. They almost kissed!" exclaimed Ray while tears started in his eyes again.
"I'm sorry. Why do you think she'd do that?" asked Tyson.
"That's a good question. I intend to find out. I love her more than my own life. I'd give up beyblading for her! I'm not about to lose her in one day!" exclaimed Ray crying a bit.
"I hope Lee was responsible for Mariah's actions and not Mariah." Said Tyson.
"That's it! Lee must have done something to make Mariah do this! Thank you Tyson." Said Ray running off.
"You're welcome, I guess." Said Tyson.

"Oh Ray. I wish you still loved me! It just doesn't feel right being with Lee." Said Mariah.
"Then why are you with him and what do you mean still love you? I haven't stopped loving you at all." Said Ray.
"Ray?! What are you doing here?" asked Mariah nervously.
"I want answers now." Said Ray with a serious expression.
"What about Alison what's her name?" asked Mariah.
"Who?" asked Ray.
"Your new girlfriend. The one you wrote about in this note." Said Mariah.
"I didn't write this. I didn't write anything! I love you and you only! You're my one true love Mariah." Said Ray.
"Then who wrote the note?" asked Mariah.
"I don't know, but I intend to find out." Said Ray.
Sorry the chapters are getting shorter! I'm getting writers block! This is what I'll do though. I'll write at least one short chapter a day and post it! My goal is at least 10 chapters! It'll be hard, but I know I can pull through! Please R/R.
