"I'm not a traitor." Emily mumbled. "Don't you dare lie to me!" Michel roared. He put his hand up and was about to slap Emily, when someone caught his hand.
"Never hit a girl." Said the voice that had stopped Michele from slapping Emily, Michel looked up and saw once blue happy eyes were shinning with rage of anger. Emily looked up from the floor and gasped, "Max…"
Michele looked rather shocked. He would have done something but he couldn't, especially not to his coach's son. He would probably get kicked out of the team. That's when Max lost his cool. His warm happy face was filled with strong emotions such as hate and anger.
"It would do ya a HELL lot of good if you actually LISTENED to Emily. You want to know if she used you're data? Well, the answer is no. She's NOT a traitor you know and second it wasn't HER choice. It's not HER fault you don't talk to you're family no more. Then you would have known that you're Uncle (Emily's Dad is Michele's Dad's brother) divorced you're Aunt. And then Emily and her Mom had to move out of America and into London to start a new life. But you wouldn't let her. Would you?" Max said blaring the information out.
Even Emily was shocked. Max grabbed Emily's wrist roughly and dragged her out of the dinning room leaving a VERY shocked group of people. Silence was filled the room, when suddenly you would have heard Michele whispering, "Oh my god! What have I done…?"

"OKAY! That was really weird." Harmonica shrieked to Hillary. Harmonica and Hillary were probably the only members of the team NOT out with guys about this time. Max had dragged Emily out of the dining room and they had still not come back and Melody was locked up in her room with Kai banging on her doors. And Mariah was seen talking to some sexy mysterious violet-blue eyed guy, whom Harmonica once again had a 5 min. crush on.
"You know, that was kind of weird." Hillary agreed recalling the incident at the dining room. Harmonica shrugged but then said, "DO you think we should check up on Ems?" "Nah!" Hillary answered. "Anyways, she already has her Maxy. Right?" Hillary said smirking evilly. Soon followed by the silence formed, both girls burst into giggles, which soon turned into laughter.
After the laughter died out, Hillary said "Listen I gotta go and check out the other competition. Mel's strict orders! You go practice. Kay?" Harmonica nodded and both girls departed.

"Why did you kiss me?" She asked with a glint of hope in her eyes. "Why shouldn't I?" He asked smirking. She blushed, since she had no answer for the unwanted question. He smirked at her uneasiness. He loved it when she so uneasy and nervous in front of him. It made her look like a sad innocent lost puppy.
"Oh brother. Forget it Johnny." Mariah answered tiredly, breaking the silence. Johnny smirked once again and completing the space near them. He went towards her, nearer, near, and nearer….. until….
"JOHNNY!! YO JOHNNY MA MAN!!! WHERE ARE YOU DUDE?" A voice blared thought the garden as Mariah and Johnny broke apart. Johnny rolled his eyes and turned around glaring at the person who shouted. "What is it Enrique?" He barked. The handsome blonde smirked. "I didn't know you were with a Lady." He said winking and starting to flirt with Mariah. His dark navy-blue eyes brought out the boyish side of him, along with his childish freckles.
Johnny rolled his eyes again, "What is it you wanted, Enrique?" Johnny repeated. "Oh, that! Robert wanted us all to go to the battle room, since our match is the first of the tournament and it's first thing next week." Enrique said shrugging.
"But it's only Sunday! We still have seven more days!" He said whining. Enrique shrugged once more and left soon followed by Johnny but he soon whispered, "I'll see you tonight. Right?" Mariah nodded, and as he left, he had left a huge grin on her face.

BANG!! "MELODY OPEN THE DOOR!" Kai Hiwatri banged the door on Melody's hotel room's door. From the inside Melody rolled her eyes. "WHAT DO YOU WANT KAI?!?!" She shouted form inside the room. "CAN WE TALK!?!? Kai shouted, now really pissed. Melody once again ignored the poor guy. "WE SHOULDN"T TALK!!" She said loudly and was soon followed by a murmur of "I don't want them to take you away." Kai, not being able to hear the last sentence just sighed and left her to think things over.
While on the other side of the door, Melody had thrown herself against the door and was dragging herself down on the floor, with tears in her eyes.

"I love you Mellisa." He said. She looked deep into his eyes. Was it really true? Did he really mean what she thought he had said? She had been waiting for so long, for him to say those three sacred words. And finally he said the words her heart had been aching to hear, for the past nineteen years she had known him. They knew each other since they were born, and she had fallen for him ever since. She looked into his hypnotized eyes. But she couldn't lie to him. Or could she… How could she tell the man she loved for so many years, that she is pregnant of his worst enemy? How can she? He loves her right? So should she tell him the truth or go on and let him think and be happy that her future baby is his child. "Kyle…" She started but decided against it, "Me too." She said smiling and tears shedding from her eyes. He wiped her tears off, and put his hand on her stomach. "So when is our baby due." Kyle said smiling warmly at her. It pained for her to see Kyle this happy once about her lie, but what will the other second too much in pain cause of her. He had done so much for her, but what will happen if her finds out that his former best friend, now his worst enemy, Josh is the father of Mellisa's future child. Kyle suddenly got close to Mellisa and she could smell his cologne even in the thick layer of mud he was covered in. He got closer... and closer… and closer… Should she tell him? Should she tell him before it got ugly? Should she tell him before it gets even worse? Should she tell her only love, the truth?
Harmonica's eyes got as wide as saucers as she kept on reading the interesting book. Usually she wouldn't be caught reading a mushy series, but lately her hormones haven't been her. Well, it would have been perfect if the book she was reading hadn't fallen to the ground revealing it's cover and title. "The War Of Love" She had been covering the book by a very thick book about Beyblade techniques book, so people wouldn't see the cover of the book.
On the cover it had a picture of a girl with bouncy curly black hair, which were not bushy. She wore a yellow sleeveless shirt, a light pink skirt, and a short rose scarf tied around her neck. Along with her was a guy with glaze red hair and aqua blue eyes. His dark navy blue shirt with the top three buttons open brought out his masculine side along with faded blue baggy jeans. On the back round was a picture of the criminal, Josh. His long platinum blonde hair, which was up to his chin, really did bring the evilness of eyes cold sea-blue eyes. He had worn all white, a white t-shirt along with a grey vest and whitish-grey baggy pants.
So now you see the reason, why Harmonica had hid the book underneath a beyblade book and tried reading it. But before Harmonica's hand had reached the book, a pale hand snatched the book and was reading the page she had just finished. Blushing Harmonica looked up only to be heard of a familiar voice, "I think she should tell him the truth. If he really loves her he would forgive her no matter what." He said, "Who?" Harmonica said blankly, "Mellisa, and Kyle." he said turning Harmonica beetroot red. She looked at him, glaze red hair, and aqua blue eyes…
"Who are you?" Harmonica asked with a dreamy yet puzzled expression. The stranger smiled, but it actually looked like a smirk. Who was he?

"LET IT RIPPP!!" Tyson screamed as his beyblade spun at its speed and spun around the beystadium. "HA! If you think that's beyblading, you and you're bratty team mates are SO going to go home after you're first match." A bratty, bossy, annoying voice screeched. Tyson looked up, "OH NO!!! It's the queen of bossiness." He said mimicking a perfect imitation of her. Hillary Logan rolled her eyes. "Whatever Tyson," She started in her annoying bossy voice.
"Honestly if you think you're gonna win with that low strategy, you are SO thinking wrong." Hillary continued. "Oh and I suppose a person who doesn't beyblade can tell me that. Right?' He said rolling his yes. "I may not beyblade but I still am our team's manager and data keeper, and trainer." She said haughtily.
Tyson rolled his eyes. "Whatever Hillary." He said collecting his beyblade and getting ready to leave. "If you wanna train Mr. Know-it-all meet here at midnight. Tonight." Hillary announced beating him by making a quicker exit. Tyson turned; Hillary was nowhere to be found. He smiled to himself and got out of the bey stadium.

"Thank you Max… you know for all that." Emily started. Max smiled at her kindly and put his hands on her shoulders. "Emily chill. I know it was awkward, but I couldn't see some one bashing up my new best friend. Right?" Max answered warmly.
Best friend? She didn't even know if Max took her as a friend. Let alone BEST friend. She smiled and nodded. Emily sat there on her bed with Max standing in front of her, followed by a long silence. When suddenly Max got closer. Was he trying to do, what Emily thought he was? Was he going to kiss her?
Emily closed her eyes just as Max came closer. None of them knew that this would be their first kiss. Max got closer and closer until Emily could practically smell his breath along with his cologne. And then suddenly, like a bolt of lighting he had kissed her! What was done was done. There was no turning back now. Emily had fallen for the forbidden.
