Summary: it's not what you think, I just needed a title.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ray soon forgot about being upset over Kim. He spent the next hour talking to Mariah about what had happened since they had last seen each other. Mariah persuaded him to walk down this road full of rich posh houses.

"Aw come on, we'll get to the park quicker" she insisted, Ray gave in.

They walked down, holding hands. Still talking, Mariah pointed to the biggest house at the end of the street "The people who live there must be rich" she commented. Ray agreed, he looked up at the windows, the smile vanished from his face, he saw Kim looking out.

Kim noticed him and then she saw Mariah; she was shocked for a moment. Then she felt a few tears falling down her face.

'It's only been and hour and a half, and he's already over me' she thought, Mariah noticed Kim and remembered what Johnny had told her to do. Mariah leaned forward and kissed Ray.

Ray was shocked; he didn't/couldn't even more. Kim turned away from the window and fell to the floor crying.

Ray came to his senses, he pushed Mariah away. "What the hell were you doing?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, I just....." she trailed off, not sounding that sorry.

Ray shook his head, he could barley believe that Mariah had done that.

"I really am sorry Ray.....you have to understand why I did that" she pleaded.

"Why then?" he asked, trying to keep his tone level.

"Me and Lee had an argument, I wanted to come and find you, but Lee didn't. I stormed off, and, before I knew what was happening I got a phone call....." she trailed off, tears starting to fall down her face. Ray didn't care he just glared.

"I can't believe that you would do this Mariah, if anyone had enough sense about loyalty and friendship and betrayal then it would be you" Ray said calmly his fists clenched.

"I'm sorry Ray!" she sobbed, "I just wanted to see you again" Ray turned and began walking back to his flat, "Ray please!" she called to him, but he ignored her, he may not have been in the White Tigers any more, but in his eyes, what she had done was unforgivable.

****

Ray went to work the next day, still feeling upset. He got through half of his shift forcing niceness into his voice and being polite. But then just as everyone had left and he thought he'd get a minutes peace. Johnny walked in, followed by his fellow team-mates and Kim.

They sat down, talking as they had before, except this time, Kim was joining in.

"Are you ready to order?" Ray asked,

"No sorry we haven't had a chance to decide yet" a cold voice replied, it was Kim.

"I'll....I'll come back later then shall I?" Ray asked, slightly confused.

"If you would so kind" Kim sneered, before re-joining the conversation.

About 15 minutes passed, Ray came back to the table and asked again. Kim looked up.

"Yeah, sure, why not? Robert, Johnny Oliver, Enrique?" she said to them, they turned and looked at her. "Well, what do you guys want?"

"We dunno Kimberly, would you mind getting us something?" Enrique replied kindly, in much surprise to Ray.

"Sure" she said smiling before she turned back to Ray, not exactly looking at him.

'She's acting just like her brother, what's going on?' Ray thought to himself.

"Would you mind getting us......" she paused looking at the menu. " 2 Spanish pasta's, 1 Greek salad and 2 tomato soups" she said with a slight rude tone to her voice "Oh and 5 cola drinks"

"O.k......I'll be right back" he said still confused

"Oh don't hurry" she said again with a rude tone.

Later after they had finished their meal, paid and were set to leave Ray caught up with Kim

"Kim, what's going on?" he asked pulling her aside. She just looked at him, with a bored/couldn't care less expression,

"I'm sorry, I thought you had another girlfriend already, you bored with her now?" she asked coolly, yet he could tell that she was upset, she crossed her arms.

"I was never....me and Mariah" he stuttered.

"Save it, you have your princess, now leave me alone" she said turning and walking out. Leaving Ray there watching as she caught up with the Majestics, he almost fainted when he saw Oliver put his arm around her.

****

Later, The Majestics and Kim were walking around the park, beybattling and talking, Ray saw them as he walked home. Kim had just beaten some kid, but he didn't seem to care

"Thanks for beyblading with me" he said "People normally tell me to push off"

"Yeah well, I needed a good beybattle" she replied then muttered as he ran off "and I still do", Oliver and Enrique laughed at her comment, then spotted Ray.

"Hello Ray" Johnny called in a friendly way, he wasn't exactly sure if it was an act or real, but he responded with a quick hello, they smirked a bit and Robert asked "Why aren't you with Mariah?"

"She's gone back home" Ray replied

"Awww did you guys have a bust up?" Oliver sneered. Ray just glared and walked on. "Ray's got the ass on" Oliver sneered again, it took everything that ray had to keep himself from turning around and punching Oliver's face in.

"Do you think he's jealous of me Kimberly?" Oliver asked loudly. Ray ignored him again, then stopped dead as he heard Kim's response

"Yeah probably, he got all upset when I asked him about his little girlfriend, I'm guess she figured out that he's a heartless dick-head" her voice was cold, it was a slight sneer and it wavered as she tried not to cry or get upset, or in fact, let any emotion enter her voice. He turned around, his face white and a few tears were in the corners of his eyes. He turned back around and ran.

"Come on Kimberly, let's go" Oliver said softly, she nodded, hating herself for having said that. HE wasn't a heatless dick-head and she knew it, but her mind wasn't clear, she was still hurt and upset about what she'd seen.
