Must… be… nice… to… reviewer… phew. Lol. I'm glad you liked it though, well I think you did anyway… thank you so much for your little review there! Anyway! There is an alarming and pressing matter that I must speak about at the and of the chapter! GO AND READ! Oh, and me no ownie… But I have my dreams. Chapter Three; Like chalk and cheeseThe lunchtime bell rang out loudly through the empty corridors and the muffled sound of chairs scraping and students racing to get out of the classrooms could be heard.
Kai got up out of his chair from his Math lesson and followed Rei out of the classroom to lunch. He looked down at his hand and flexed it a little. Three large red marks were forming on the palm of his right hand, which had made it difficult to write with. He walked with Rei up to the dinner queue where he spotted three familiar faces.
"Over here!" Kenny signalled, and pointed for them to get in the queue with Max and Tyson.
Rei smiled gratefully, whilst Kai scowled to himself.
"Kai, I heard you got the cane on your first day!" Tyson said grabbing Kai's hand to see the damage.
"Wrong hand, Tyson," Kai said, and smirked. "Right hand," he slipped his injured hand into his pocket.
Tyson's face fell.
"NEXT!" a gravely voice shouted to Tyson, who until then, had been busy trying to get Kai's hand.
Immediately Tyson's eyes widened and he spun round to order his load of food. Rei and Kenny rolled their eyes at the same time and sighed.
"Who let Tyson order first?" Max muttered under his breath. "Now we'll have nothing to eat!"
When Tyson had finished telling the dinner lady what he wanted (due to the fact that Max had kicked him in the shin) the others could only have salad.
The boys walked into the hall and looked for a place to sit. There was only one table that was relatively empty, and when the bladers approached that table, the people that had sat there moved as they had finished their dinner.
The five boys sat down and chatted about their day. Kai just sat and ate his food, occasionally talking when spoken to. He studied the surrounding hall. Even this place had the grey slate running through it. However, the walls were white with a few scuffmarks here and there where students wanted to dirty the walls in some form of rebellion. Kai rolled his eyes at the thought.
"Hey Kai. Is it okay if I sit here?"
Kai turned to face the girl and shrugged, scooting down the bench to give Woody some more room.
"Thanks. Are these your friends?" Woody asked, looking at each of the Blade Breakers.
"Yeah," Kai said. "This is my team, Rei, Tyson, Kenny and Max," he introduced.
Woody looked at him dumbly.
"Yeah, I know them," she said.
Kai frowned.
"Why did you ask me then?" he replied.
"No, I asked if they were your friends. I know them already," she repeated herself slowly as if talking to a stupid person.
Kai mentally twitched. In his mind, an image of himself in an animal cage in the circus and people talking about him as if he wasn't there, and making such comments as "Aww! Look at the dumb animal!" People pointed at him. In the corner, he could hear a monkey laughing and pointing at him.
"Kai?" Rei asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Huh?" Kai said, snapping out of his daydream.
The others just rolled their eyes and laughed.
"Who are you waiting for?" Tyson asked Woody.
Whom.
Kai rolled his eyes at the lack of Tyson's lack of grammatical knowledge.
"Well-" Woody began, but was cut off by someone shouting her name.
"Woody!" a small girl with glasses shouted loudly over the hall.
Many heads turned towards the sound of the voice, but the small girl seemed unfazed. Who knew such a loud voice could come from a small black hoody wearing girl? She was swamped in her overly baggy blue jeans that dragged along behind her and were ripped at the bottom, as her legs were too small. Her large hazel eyes were surrounded by black eyeliner that flicked out at the sides to make her huge eyes look even bigger. She had a small oval face and dark blue, almost midnight black hair. Through the inky blueness of the girl's hair, glimpses of a slanted purple fringe produced. Over all- Kai thought she had shrunk in the wash. He couldn't see her figure behind her baggy clothes, but her got the impression that she was quite curvy. Her eyebrows were pristinely plucked, and her hair came to her chin and shined healthily in the dim light. The girl's glasses were slightly wonky on her face, and her teeth were perfectly straight.
Woody acknowledged the girl with a beaming smile and signalled for her to come over.
"Hey!" Woody said cheerfully.
"Heylooooooooooooooooo!" the girl said with such energy that Kai was sure she was on drugs. He winced.
"Where's Sara, Jen?" Woody asked, tucking into her salad.
Jenny glared before answering.
"She left me," Jenny said, and began eating.
"I'm sure it's not that bad," Woody smiled and tutted sympathetically.
Kai frowned yet again. Rei tried not to smile and Kenny just began typing on Dizzi.
"You know I can't walk on my own," Jenny said through a mouthful of food. "I have no confidence!"
Kai looked at Jenny's outfit again. For one that didn't have confidence she sure dressed to stand out.
"Didn't you get the cane for what you're wearing?" Kai asked.
"Nah! They can't be bothered with me anymore. They gave up a good few years ago…" Jenny trailed off, smiling fondly at the memory that was playing through her mind.
A group of boys from the next table began shouting someone over to their table and nudging each other.
"This'll be her," Woody said, and Jenny turned around in time to see someone walk out of the hall.
A girl wearing a pink skirt that came to about three inches above the knee and cream flat suede boots with buckles on them that reached the middle of her tanned calf came into view. Her long legs didn't make the skirt look too short and she wore a cream top with a pink coat decorated with huge cream retro buttons to finish off the look. She looked over to the table with the boys on and smiled prettily at them, walking over towards their table. Her dark brown hair that reached just past her shoulders shimmered when the light that peeked through the closed curtains hit it, and the tips of it were a light blonde. Her eyes, like Jenny's, were outlined with eyeliner and had a flick, only it was a lot neater and matched her outfit to make her look like a 60's wild child. Her brown eyes lit up when she saw someone on the other table, and her rosy cheeks went slightly redder. She said a few word to them and walked over to Woody and Jenny, laughing when some of the boys were still saying things to her.
"Hey guys," Sara said, finally taking a seat between Rei and Jenny.
Rei's cheeks flushed slightly when she smiled at him and said hello.
Sara seems to be pretty popular… why is she hanging around with Woody and Jenny?
Kai studied Sara closely. From where he was sitting opposite to him, he could smell her strong perfume, and noted that her red cheeks were actually natural. She wore pink lipstick that made her white teeth even whiter, and she smiled about something.
Oh no… we have a prep.
Rei was listing to what she was saying.
"Ohmygod!" she said. "That was Shane!"
Kai switched off.
The girls carried on chatting about something whilst the others continued eating. Suddenly, their conversation was broken off by a:
"Someone ordered all of the fries by the time I got there! You know I hate salad!" Jenny said, whining.
Tyson pulled at his collar and quickly stuffed the last fry into his mouth before she noticed.
"Oh my word Jenny! Just shut it and eat!" Sara muttered.
"Here, you can have my cake," Woody offered.
"No thanks, I'm on a diet," Jenny declined.
"So, what happened?" Woody asked Sara.
Kai switched off again and turned back to his teams' conversation.
"What lesson do we have next?" Tyson asked Max and Kenny.
"Um… drama," Kenny replied after looking it up on his computer.
Max beamed.
"Yay! We get the best drama teacher this year!" Max said excitedly, "Mr. Drater!"
"What do you guys have?" Tyson asked Rei and Kai, as they were in the year above him.
"English," Rei answered after a glance at his timetable. "Oh no, we have Miss. Evans."
"What's so bad about Miss. Evans?" Kai muttered.
"The 'Miss' speaks volumes. She's ugly, so she's horrible," Tyson said, laughing.
"You shouldn't talk about people like that," Kenny scolded.
"But she is…" Tyson trailed off guiltily and made a face at Kenny.
There was movement beside Rei, and Kai looked to find Sara and Jenny leaving, Jenny now busily munching on the cake whilst Sara was scolding her. She then asked for a piece herself. They waved another goodbye at Woody and walked out of the hall side by side. They looked like such an odd couple together.
Kai noticed Rei's gaze linger on the pair for a moment before returning it to Kai with a sheepish smile.
"Where are those two off to?" Rei asked.
Woody swallowed what she was eating before answering.
"Um… they're going to practise with their blades," Woody answered and ate more macaroni from her plate.
This got a few raised eyebrows from the Blade-Breakers.
Woody looked surprised.
"Didn't you know? They're called Contrario. That's why Jenny is known across the school too. Otherwise, uh-oh. She'd be nada. They are quite odd though; cute!"
Kai raised an eyebrow.
Cute wasn't the word he would've used.
"Yeah, apparently they know this girl called Lindsay, but no one has ever seen her. Only they have ever seen her…" Woody paused for effect. "Personally, I think they made her up."
She laughed to herself and shook her head, before getting up and dumping half of her lunch in the trash.
"Bye!" she threw over her shoulder and went in the same direction as Sara and Jenny did.
Tyson raised his eyebrows and looked at his fellow teammates. They were all thinking the same thing.
"We're all thinking the same thing," said Tyson nodding sagely.
"Um… if we are then we should follow those two," Kenny advised.
Tyson's proud face fell slightly.
"I thought we were going back to the cafeteria."
Once again, eye rolling commenced and the team took off in search of the two girls, Tyson following closely behind complaining that he hadn't eaten enough.
The Blade-Breakers got outside into the small gravelled area where a blading dish had been set up. About twenty people were crowded around and watching the heated Bey Battle that was taking place. They couldn't see the dish, but the Blade-Breakers could see a strange shadow blasting out from the dish. As they watched, they heard a strange, otherworldly wail that seemed somehow to echo from the shadow. All of a sudden a beyblade flew out of the dish and the shadow was left in the dish.
Tyson and the gang pushed their way to the front of the crowd and stared down at the dish. There was a cry of "Etherealea, return!" and the silver blade soared out of the dish into its master's hands, clad in black and blue stripy fingerless gloves.
The Blade-Breakers found themselves looking at Jenny standing in a proud stance, and Sara was nearby giving her a small smile.
Jenny turned to them and looked directly at Kai, and from behind her Sara called:
"So, Blade-Breakers, think you're up to the challenge?"
Hehehehe, so you like. Ooooh, two new characters. Oh and Linz, Jenny told me to add you to it! But if you like it then it's my idea.
DID ANYONE SPOT THE HIDDEN WORD???????
I asked people this and nobody replied! Grrr. Lol. In the last chapter it was:
Mrs. Yeknom.
Which is monkey- but backwards. Remember? Kai had a little vision of himself doing Russian dancing?
Anyway, do you find those things funny? The little vision thingies? If you want me to stop them then I will…
So, leave a review and tell me what you think? Good, bad, funny, sad, crap, etc.
JUST LEAVE A DAMN REVIEW!
Lol.
Oh, and don't forget the hidden word!
