Back to school Chapter 2 By Autumn Garnet

Wow! I got reviewed!! Thanks super heaps, you guys!! Here, a smile to light up your day!! ^___^

Disclaimer: I do not own beyblade. *sob* And if I did, would I be writing a fanfic?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music? Who the heck makes THAT first period? Kai couldn't stop his eye from twitching. Music? MUSIC?! The very subject that I hate HAD to be first period?!

Tyson waved his hand in front of Kai's face. "Yo, Kai! What's with your eye?"

Kai glared at Tyson. "Nothing."

Tyson shrugged, being use to the glare. "Whatever, but I'm sure your eye wasn't like that the last time I checked!"

Kenny looked through his bag, for his booklist. Finally finding it, he yanked it out. "Okay, for music we need. Manuscript, exercise books, the Diamond Mozart textbook and the Orchestral works of Haydn." [I dun even know who the heck these people are, I just heard of they're names somewhere. I did tic-tac toe just to figure out which one to choose! ^_^]

They all pulled those books out and then shoved all those books into the lockers, which were thankfully already open. [Yeah, I HATE opening my locker! On my first day they were already opened so I'm just going by that!]

"Okay now I think Mariah said that the music room was that building over there." Kenny pointed to a green building.

"Okay, cool!" Max said cheerfully, forgetting about what happened to Otaku. "What d'you think we're gonna to do in music?"

Tyson clamped his hand on Max's shoulder. "Dude, music is all about singing!" Tyson's eyes went starry. "We're gonna sing our hearts out and show the people at the world championships that we can SING!!! After all, that's why we're here!"

Everybody sweatdropped while Ray shook his head. "I think Tyson has lost the plot." [Plot? What plot?! There was a plot? WHERE?!]

Singing? Kai's eye twitched harder. Today's lesson better be a theoretical one. Please God, no singing.

~*~*~*~*~*

"Class, we have five new students today, here it say's there names are Kai, Ray, Max, Tyson and Kenny. I'm not sure which is which so it may be better if they introduced themselves. Oh and by the way, I'm Miss Jishan." The music teacher smiled good-naturedly at them.

"Well," Tyson began without a trace of shyness or nervousness in his voice, "I'm Tyson! Nice to meet ya's all!"

In a quiet voice. "I'm Kenny."

Smiling nervously. "Hey, I'm Max!"

Bowing his head down slightly and smiling. "I'm Ray, pleasure to meet you all."

Glaring at everyone, speaking in a cold monotone. [Ooooh, lemme think. Oh, I know!! Ray! No? Well. Lets see. Who's left.? Um.?] "Kai."

All the girls exchanged glances muttering comments and giggling while the guys fumed.

Miss Jishan smiled again. "Well since it's your first day here, we won't have a theory lesson today!"

What?! Kai nearly dropped his books. We're not. We're not.

"Come on, let's go to M2!"

Kai sighed in relief. Thank God. M2 is probably a nice and empty hall with no mikes or musical instruments.

"Oh and leave your books here, we'll only be singing."

WHAT?!?!

~*~*~*~*~*

If Kai wasn't so. Kai-ish he'd be dead on the floor of shock. Kai stared at all the musical instruments in shock. From violins to harps, every musical instrument you could possibly think of was there. He stared at the grand piano where Miss Jishan was standing. Why singing. Why, why, why?!

"Oh, I forgot to mention it." Miss Jishan smiled apologetically. "Mr Dickenson has requested for you to learn how to play instruments." She pulled a list out of her bag. "He wants Kenny to do flute, Tyson to do piano, Max - Saxophone, Ray - Viola and Kai - Violin. In fact, I believe your instruments came in last night. I'll have someone show you where to collect them and where to collect your lesson timetable.

Kai had to force himself not to bang his head against the grand piano. Me? Violin?! No way!

Miss Jishan went back to talking to the classroom. "So class, how about some individual singing? You'll have to play the song on the piano and sing with it, I'm certain that I don't know any of the songs you kids are in to. So, who would like to start?"

One of the girls that had picked on Otaku raised their hand. She was blond and had ruby red eyes.

"Thank you, Dawn."

Dawn smiled and sat down at the seat of the piano. She began to play a soft melody, and man, she was good!

Tyson nearly jumped. "Oh, oh! I know this song!!" He whispered over to Max. "Its 'We're in heaven'!!" Tyson then really jumped when he heard her voice.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH THINNNNNNNNKING 'BBBBBBOUT OURRRRRRRRRRRRRR YOOOOUNGER YEARSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!" Dawn was singing, [more like screaming] at the top of her lungs. Her voice was screechy and not to mention WAY out of tune.

Tyson blocked his ears while Max did the same.

Miss Jishan winced at Dawn's singing.

When Dawn had finally finished singing everybody clapped, not because of respect though, because she finally had stopped. [Yes, she was THAT bad!]

Dawn smiled broadly. "I know, I can sing so well!" She put her hands on her hips as she glared at the girl in front of her. "What dear? Jealous?"

Tyson almost laughed. Jealous? How can you be jealous over her poor excuse of singing?

Kenny shuddered. That sounded like someone was beating up a mutated cat or something.

Dawn suddenly grabbed the girl's collar and pushed her towards the piano. "Miss Jishan, Otaku Rui has so kindly volunteered to sing for us."

Miss Jishan had seen what Dawn had done. However she knew that if she told her off, she'd be fired. "Thank you, Otaku."

Otaku walked slowly up to the piano. She gulped and began to play a soft tune.

Max leaned over and whispered to Ray. "She can't be as bad as Dawn, right?"

Kai winced slightly, prepared for the worse, but what he heard wasn't horrible. In fact, it was the exact opposite of how Dawn sang, soft, in tune and absolutely beautiful. "Wow." Kai said quietly

When Otaku finished singing the song everybody was silent. Otaku stood up quickly and walked as quick as she could into a corner. There she stood there, as if waiting for something.

The girl who had slapped her earlier that day rolled her eyes. [This one can look like. Okay, red hair and turquoise eyes! Ooooh, complimentary colours!!] "Isn't that the most grossest thing you've ever heard, Dawn?"

Dawn nodded. "You're totally right, Celina. What d'you think, Angel?"

"Pitiful." Angel nodded. [Okay, um. Ash blond hair with violet eyes] Angel then flicked her long hair over her shoulder. She then leaned on the very boy who beat Otaku up. "Kaji?"

"My father should expel her on the spot." He said with a smile.

Miss Jishan looked at the space between Otaku and Kaji. Glancing at her watch she let out a fake gasp. "Oh, look at the time, the lesson is almost over! Go on, off to your next class!"

~*~*~*~*~*

There next class they had was a free period. [Meaning, no class for 40 minutes! Yeah! And lucky day for them, after that was recess! So plus 40 with 30 and ya got 70! WOOOHOOOO!! An hour and 10 minutes to burn!]

"Can you believe that?" Tyson said in an angry tone. "This is ridiculous, what's with always picking on Otaku? Jeez, she seems too nice to be picked on."

Ray nodded in agreement. "I know it IS ridiculous. Seriously, she was the only good singer in that whole room!"

"No kidding." Max said in a low voice so no one would here them

Kenny sighed. "What can we do about it though? If we do something, they might be beating her up even more and even worse, she could get followed home again or something."

"True." Ray said hopelessly

Tyson stood up abruptly. "I can't just stand here and do nothing about it!"

"I know that but, WHA?!" Ray suddenly had his neck wrapped in the arms of Angel

Angel smiled mischievously. "Hi Ray. You're really cute, anyone ever told you that?"

Ray turned red instantly. "Aren't you going out with Kaji?" He tried to pry her arms of him

"I did. But that was so 10 minutes ago." Her seductive glance then went to Kai

Angel let go of Ray. [Much to the relief of my lil' guy Ray] Angel laid her hand on Kai's arm. "So handsome. Are you going to ask me out on a date or what?"

Kai pulled her hand off him. "Why would I do that?"

Angel sat on top of Kai's desk. "Because you want me."

Kai rolled his eyes. "In your dreams and in my nightmares."

She then chose that moment to grab Kai's head. She held his face an inch away from hers. "Let's just say we're in my dreams." [Oh yuck!!! Poor Kai!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!! She's gonna. She's gonna. YUCK!!!]

Kai was actually shocked twice within the same hour. She's not really going to. She wouldn't. Oh God her breath REALLY reeks of caffeine!

"Excuse me!"

Angel stood up suddenly to look see who it was. "Oh, Mariah. Its just you." She turned back to Kai. "Now where were we?"

Mariah raised an eyebrow. "Just me? I've been sent here by Miss Jishan for Kai, Tyson, Max, Kenny and Ray." She blushed lightly when she thought of Ray. "Oh and she told me to get Otaku."

Angel rolled her eyes. "Gimme 5 minutes." [Oh God, this girl does NOT quit!]

Mariah sighed. "You asked for it. KA-!!"

Angel clamped her hand on Mariah's mouth before she could finish off the word. "Okay, okay! Don't tell Kaji, just shut up!" With that Angel walked off.

Otaku up and as she walked over to where Mariah was she was yet again hit by Angel. Rubbing the shoulder that was already wounded she smiled at them. "So, Mariah, why does Miss Jishan want to see me for?"

Mariah sighed at Otaku. Why does she put up with this? "I don't know, she just told me to call you."

"Oh, okay."

"Anyhow, come this way."

~*~*~*~*~*

Miss Jishan smiled. [This lady likes to smile! I like smiling too! ^_________^] "Here are your instruments! Oh and Tyson, your grand piano is already being sent to your place. Now, I am running late for a staff meeting, so I must be going now. Oh wait, nearly forgot! Otaku, your violin lessons have been changed again, I'm afraid. You are no longer going to have your individual lessons. Now, you are going to have your lesson with Kai, for some reason Principal Kataki put that rule into effect. Okay, I must be going now! Bye!"

Otaku nodded quickly before Miss Jishan left.

Mariah then held up the timetable. "Okay, as Miss Jishan said, Principal Kataki put this new rule in for some reason. You're all partnered up with someone and-"

"Attention students!!" The school speaker boomed loudly. "My fine young son, Kaji, has requested for everyone to go home out of the goodness of his heart. This school day is over!"

Max stood there confused. "So, do we go home?"

Mariah nodded as she handed them each a timetable. "Better get going before the whole school shuts down! See you guys later!"

The guys grabbed there instruments and left.

~*~*~*~*~*

Tyson stretched as he was walking home with the others. "That was definitely the weirdest school ever!"

Max nodded. "Its not even afternoon and we're going home. I mean, we were barely even at school for more than 2 hours!"

Tyson yawned. "Dude, I got up for nothing!"

Everybody, [except Kai] laughed as Tyson nearly smashed into a pole due to his so sleepiness. [is that a word?]

Kai suddenly stopped walking. Is that Otaku?

Ray stopped to look at whatever Kai was staring at. "D'you think that's Otaku?"

Kai shrugged. He was more concentrating on what she was doing. Otaku looked around, as if she was making sure no one was around. When she saw that Kai & co. were still around she ran up to them.

"Hey, d'you guys want a ride?" Otaku asked them softly. "But you don't have to if you don't want to!"

Tyson gave off on of those enormous smiles. "Really? Cool!"

Otaku smiled back and then she nodded.

As if on queue, an enormous black gleaming limo pulled up in front of her. The chauffer got out of the car and opened the door. "Good Morning, Lady Otaku."

Otaku blushed lightly. "Aaron, there is no 'lady' in my name. Please, just call me Otaku."

Aaron bowed his head down. "You know I cannot do that. You are higher than I am, I cannot be disrespectful to my master."

Otaku sighed. "Okay. Well, since you can't call me plain old Otaku, I'll double your pay."

"You are too kind, Lady Otaku."

Otaku smiled and then turned back to the others. "Would you guys like to have lunch at my house? I can arrange my chauffer to bring you home."

Tyson grinned enormously. "Food? Alright!

~*~*~*~*~*

Kai looked around the limo. It was extremely long! It had a small sort of mini bar and large TV set. [Yeah! TV!] She must be rich!

~*~*~*~*~*

When they finally reached Otaku's house, Aaron opened the door for them. They all gaped at the enormous metal gate. Otaku reached for a key-card in her pocket. She swiped it in front of the scanner and the gates immediately opened.

Otaku smiled. "Come on, this way to my house."

They all began to walk on the path way surrounded buy huge trees and beautiful gardens. As they walked further they passed fountains made of gold.

Max pointed in shock at a clear sparkling lake. "You've got a LAKE in your front yard?!"

Otaku nodded. "Well this is my house!"

In front of them was a gigantic building. The height of it had to over a mile, while the width was large enough to fit in a hundred houses. The outside of the building was a sparkling white color and in the center there was a balcony.

"There's gotta be over a hundred rooms in their!" Ray exclaimed

Otaku nodded. "Well, there is 412 rooms."

Kai was in shock. 412?!?!?! [O_O] How rich is she?!

~*~*~*~*~*

Tyson looked at the long table, half drooling. "So. much. food."

Otaku giggled. "Dig in and eat as much as you want!"

Tyson shoved chilli dogs in his mouth with his left hand while shoving fried chicken in his mouth with the other. "Man, oh man, this is the best tasting food ever!"

Max, Ray and Kenny nodded, they're mouths full of food.

What a bunch of slobs! Kai turned to look at Otaku. In his usual monotone he asked, "D'you have soda?"

Otaku looked around on the table. "Yep, I'll go get it!"

She handed him the soda can with a smile. "So, aren't you hungry?"

"I just want to know why you invited us."

Otaku kept on smiling. "I invited you over because I ruined your day, I just had to make it up to you." She stopped smiling and looked nervously on the the ground. "I'm sorry if I made your day worse."

Kai opened the soda. "Quit apologising. Its getting on my nerves." [That's Kai's way of saying, "Its okay, I understand."]

"Sor-Um, Ray, I think its time for your viola lessons."

Ray quickly swallowed and pulled out his timetable. "Hey, you're right! Jeez, thanks for the food, I gotta run!"

"Wait!" Otaku yelled. "I'll get my chauffer to bring you. I'll get him to pick up your partner too!"

Ray stopped and turned to smile at Otaku. "I owe you one, later you guys!"

~*~*~*~*~*

The limo pulled up in front of a house.

A girl with a viola case ran up to the limo. Ray couldn't see who it was because of the tinted windows.

The girl opened the door.

"Mariah?!"

"Ray?!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Autumn Garnet: Ooooh, Ray is Mariah's partner. Ray and Mariah, sittin' in a tree-

Ray: [blush] Netty!!! Quit it!

Mariah: [blush] Yeah, its not very nice!

Kai: Plus you can't sing at all.

Autumn Garnet: *sob* WAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys'll cheer me up with your reviews, right?

Kai: They'll probably flame you.

Autumn Garnet: Really? *runs and buys a packet of marshmallows* I like roasted marshmallows!

Ray, Mariah & Kai: [sweatdrop]
