Spinning Out!
Chapter 7!
In a dark room a dark figure was having trouble getting to sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed. His blue and silver hair lay on his pillow; he closed his eyes and thought about when he last saw Mandie. She had to move away, her father was moving to a smaller town, Thunder Bay to be exact. It was located in Canada near the border near Lake Superior. It was a white mansion that they were moving to. Kai had not seen Mandie since the day that he bid farewell at the airport, until the Canadian Tournament that is. He rolled over and dismissed any feelings toward her. She would only get in the way. Just like last time! Kai was supposed to be training for his mission, but instead he taught her how to blade.
"What a waste of time!" he scorned. He looked over at Tyson wondering how he can show all of his feelings. Kai thought he would never be able to do so. But in the future, who knows?
Within a few minutes Kai was asleep, that night he even dreamed about her! She was often on his mind! What was wrong with him? When she was around he forgot about his mission. He lay in bed, still dreaming.
"See you Kai! I have to grow up now, don't worry though, I'm sure we will meet again, then we will know!" Laughed Mandie. Mandie was the age when she left town. She waved and started walking away. Slowly she disappeared. Kai's hand reached out towards her; she turned around for a second, smiled and said something. Then everything turned black.
Kai opened up his eyes so suddenly. He got up and looked at Tyson's alarm clock. The group thought it was necessary for getting him up. It read 5:10, but secretly they put it ahead 10 minutes so Tyson would think he's running behind and hurry it up. He sleepily put his head back down, it was getting warm now so her shoved off his blankets. He again went to rest his head, but heard some person singing instead.
"You'll always be, in my heart! And I will always be, in love! Your life is a work of art! I call out for you, to the endless skies above!"
It sounded like it was coming from outside. He looked around, and got up to go to the living room. He looked around the baby blue walls; a sailing boat picture was hung across the room. He looked to his right, the balcony sliding glass door was open, and he heard the singing once more.
"We'll meet again someday Baby! And this time we will know! That we'll always be together, Baby! But who knows? I don't."
"Someday I will find out for sure, That my love is soaring true, To the heavens high in the sky, To the never ending oceans below, I will always follow you, Throughout thick and thin, Only if you call my name! Then I do the same!"
Kai stood out on the balcony, looking for the singer, he was sure who it was, but he couldn't find her.
"Love." She said. That's when Kai realized that's what Mandie said in his dream. He chuckled and went back inside. Mandie had been watching from above. "Laugh all you want, but you KNOW it's true!" she smiled. She raised her arms to the skies. She swept a loose strand of hair behind her ear. The stars always reminded her of her family. Her hamster, her dad, mother, kitten, and her sister. "Get better soon Colly!" she sang sweetly. She walked into the living room, closed the door and examined the room. It was beige and white. She walked to the bedroom and decided she should get more sleep.
~ In the Morning ~
"Rise and shiiiiine!" sang Mandie. She ripped off Amy's covers first.
"Maaandie, do you know how ANNOYING you can be?" said Amy sleepily. Mandie yanked off Rebecca's blankets next.
"I know! I try!" laughed Mandie. She was already dressed; she wore some slim fitting low-rise jeans and her favorite white tank top. Her hair wasn't in the mini pigtails today. Mandie smiled and tossed a brush onto Amy's lap. "You need it!" she laughed. Amy smirked and headed for the bathroom. She began brushing all the knots and tangles out of her hair.
"Oh the troubles that come with beauty!" Amy laughed.
"Then you must have LOTS of troubles!" laughed Mandie. Amy came to the doorframe and stuck out her tongue at Mandie. Mandie smiled and turned the radio on at full blast.
"OK! I GET IT! I'M UP!" cried Rebecca. Amy closed the bathroom door and started getting dressed; she came out with red shorts and a black belly top on. "My turn!" said Rebecca; she raced into the bathroom. Amy and Mandie went into the kitchen; Mandie grabbed some Cheerio's while Amy made some toast. Rebecca came out in blue jeans and a yellow tee shirt on.
Suddenly the boys came into the room. They ran over and jumped on the couch.
"It's almost time to leave!" yelled Edwin.
"We know that Edwin, don't state the obvious!" snapped Darren. He got up off the couch and started to peel an orange. Jeff walked into the room.
"Well aren't we a ray of sunshine today?" Asked Mandie sarcastically. "Hi Jeff, we're almost ready." Mandie added. Mandie started humming the tune to "I Surrender By K-Otic" She grabbed her cell phone and told Colette that their match would be broadcasted on channel 38.
~ THE BLADE BREAKERS ROOM! ~
~ Beep, Beep, Beep! ~
It was Tyson's alarm clock. It was 8:10 (8:00 to be exact!)
"Oh no, I might now have enough time to get ready and practice!" cried Tyson. He darted from the bedroom to the kitchen, stuffed and apple in his mouth and started getting ready. With the apple still in his mouth he got his vest, socks, and shoes on. He took a big bite of the apple and placed it on the bed. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" he said. He slapped on his vest and took out his Beyblade. He picked up the apple and in record time finished it to the core. He raced into the kitchen where everybody was waiting his arrival. "C'mon guys! The clock says its 8:20!" cried Tyson.
"Actually, we put it ten minutes ahead today so that you'll get yourself together faster!" laughed Ray. Tyson's faced turned a shade of red. He clenched his fist.
"It.it was necessary Tyson!" stuttered Kenny. Tyson started to laugh, and then the rest of the team joined him. Except Kai, he was sitting on the couch, one hand on the top, legs crossed. He grunted and turned his face away from everybody.
Mr. Dickinson rushed into the door, he looked stunned.
"Boys! The dream team has quit the tournament! Darren was kick out of the team this morning and their entry was withdrawn!" he stuttered. The boys looked stunned, but most of all Kai. "They had a huge fight this morning and it ended up in Mandie giving Darren a choice to leave the team, or something else, it'll probably be in the news tomorrow!" he cried. Mr. Dickinson was still in his pajamas. They were blue and purple stripes. He also had a matching nightcap.
"But the final match!" Began Tyson. Kai suddenly pushed his way through and made his way through the door. Nobody bothered to follow him or ask any questions. He ran down to the front desk.
"Oh! Mr. Kai! What a pleasure! Ms. Houjiri left a note here for you!" he said excitedly. "Wow! The ladies REALLY must find you good looking!" laughed the man. Kai gave a scornful look and snatched the note from his hand. He held it in his right hand and walked out of the hotel.
"Where should I go to read this thing?" he thought, he turned to his left and saw a small park across the busy street. "I don't even know why I'm going to read this thing!" he thought. Kai's dark brown eyes scanned for cars, once all cars were far enough away so her could cross he walked through the street. He settled at a park bench with a tree shading it. It overlooked a fountain, he didn't know it, but it's the very one Mandie did a tail grind on, and that Rebecca fell into! He unfolded the paper. Inside was very sloppy writing. "Well, he writing hasn't changed much!" he thought, he chuckled a bit.
"Dear Kai,
I wish I could have said this to you in person, but I'm not really in a mood to do so. As you probably have already heard, our group split up. Here's the reason."
Mandie had just gotten off the phone; she and the rest of the team were ready. Darren approached Mandie from behind.
"I've been meaning to talk to you about something, do you have a thing for Kai, if you give his team ANY sort of special treatment this match, then we'll have to cut you from the team you know!" he said. A grin had formed on Darren's face; he hasn't really been in a bad mood the past few days, but that has all changed within a few minutes.
"Darren, I would NEVER do a thing like that and you know it! Cut the crap! You've been getting along with everybody the past few days!" Mandie snapped; she glared at Darren. He looked once at her eyes, then to his shoes.
"You actually believe that crap?" he laughed, Darren rolled his eyes and laughed louder. "Oh please Mandie, I was SPYING on you two! I was trying to make sure you two DIDN'T have a thing for each other. Unfortunately you two did, so if you don't stop it, you'll have to get out of this group." He said, Darren looked very serious, now he was staring Mandie straight into the eyes.
"Darren, you're forgetting who is the leader of this group! I AM! I'm having regrets about putting you in our group now! I found you in the alley blading, I thought you were good and offered you a spot here! Now what do you do? Accuse me of going EASY on people?" she cried. A single tear fell down her cheek. She closed her eyes. "Darren.if you don't cut this attitude, you'll be cut from the team! You already cost us a tournament before! You got so enrages that you purposely shot your blade at the guy who made you mad." She said. Mandie opened her eyes; tears were freely flowing from her face. She smiled once more. "Darren, please cut this tough act! You don't have to be this way!"
The team had worried looks in their eyes. Darren walked over to the door. "That's really who I am and you can't change it! And as for cut the attitude or I'm cut from the team.THIS TEAM SUCKED ANYWAY!" He screamed. Darren's eyes were filled with rage. He took one last look at his teammates and turned around. He walked out on them then and there.
"I.I should have predicted that he might choose the other choice! I should've worked things out more!" cried Mandie. She began to walk for the bedroom. Halfway there she said. "I don't want to come to this tournament, you guys do as you wish, I'll go if you like." She said, her voice was trembling now.
"Mandie, I think you did the right thing! Darren was obviously not a team player! He didn't fit in with us!" shouted Amy. Rebecca sat down on the couch.
"Oh boy! I think we should quit the tournament, Mandie doesn't really feel up to it, she's a wreck now! I don't think we should put her through it!" said Rebecca. She pulled her hair behind her ears.
"I agree, I don't think ANY of us are up to it now." he said. He swept his hand through his hair. Amy nodded and they called the holders of the tournament and told them of their predicament.
"Kai, I want you to know that I always did and always will love you! And I thank you for the first time we met. I'm sorry I'm leaving you again, but here's my cell number (please note I'm making this up off of the top of my head!) 345-6996. I know what we will meet again someday, and for certain we will know...
Yours truly, Mandie"
"HEY KAI!" yelled a voice. Kai quickly stuffed the letter inside his pocket. "We still have to go to the tournament you know! We'll we taking pictures and signing autographs, and we'll be telling the news crew about the dream teams problem!
"It wasn't the whole teams problem, it was one teammates problem, and that was Darren!" he scoffed Kai.
"Well, anyway, tell that to the news crew, we gotta get on the bus!"
In a dark room a dark figure was having trouble getting to sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed.
