SD: Okay, chapter three, boarding blues. Read and review!
Tyson: Don't read it!
Kai: Just don't review.
SD: You two are mean. And to think I like you guys! Well, not Tyson...
Max: Erm, guys, can we keep the fighting to the beystadium and get on with the story?
SD: Yah, disclaimer please.
*silence*
SD: Erm, it's... *looks on list* It's Robert's turn! XD *hands Robert a piece of paper*
Robert: *looks at paper then rips it up* This uncouth girl does not own Beyblade, only the uncouth Kyla and this uncouth plot.
SD: You're supposed to read off the piece of paper, not shred it to pieces!! *runs after Robert who's already left the room* And shredding paper is totally uncouth! XD

CHAPTER 3: BOARDING BLUES
--
"Talking"
~Thinking~
/talking to bit beast/
//bit beast talking//
{[AN:- author note]}
--
~Damn! What's he doing here?~
That was Kai's first
thought when he entered his room in the boarding house.
"So... Tala Ivanov, roommate number
1."
"Kai Hiwatari, Roommate number 2," Tala shot back at Kai.
Tala sat on the top bunk of the bunk on the right. Below him sat Oliver.
"Bonjour mes Ami," Oliver greeted. {[AN:- sorry for those who don't know french – He said 'Hello my friend', but yes I know Kai's not his friend...]} "I guess I'm roommate number 3 then."
Kai said nothing and jumped up onto the top bunk on the left. As soon as he was up there and in his usual position {[AN:- that's with his arms and legs folded and eyes closed, if you didn't know]}, the door to the room opened, and a girl stood there.
"Kyla...?" Tala's eyes narrowed.
"What are you doing here?" Oliver inquired.
"The principal shifted me," Kyla said shortly.
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~
"Mr Canburr. Miss Hiwara here to see you."
Kyla stood in the principal's office, staring at the ground. Mr Richards went out and shut the door.
"Miss Hiwara..." The principal smiled at Kyla. "What was it this time?"
"I... er..." she began. Mr
Canburr nodded expectantly. "Mr Richards got me with the black-board duster."
Mr Canburr laughed. "Oh, Kyla, I thought you were clever and smart!"
Kyla looked up, puzzled. "So..."
Mr Canburr suddenly looked serious again. "Sorry Kyla, but you know the rules –"
"What this time? Marking science homework for a week? Getting extra science homework for a week?"
"No. Actually, Kyla... Because of the number of new students wishing to board, we're moving you into another room."
"Oh...?" Kyla frowned. "That's not... Wait – with who?"
Mr Canburr held up three
photos. Tala – Oliver – Kai. "Boys."
"Wha?! NO WAY!!"
~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~
"So... You're staying here?" Oliver asked.
Kyla nodded, sighing. "For the rest of the year."
"What?!" Tala and Oliver both shouted in unison, while Kai opened his eyes, silently swearing.
"Yeah, I don't want to be
here as much as you guys don't want me here, but..."
"Ah well, you get the bunk below Kai," Tala snickered.
Kyla looked up at Kai, recognition flickering in her mind. She ignored it, though, and sat down on her bunk.
"Just one question –" she began.
"I can cook," Oliver reassured her.
Kyla grinned. "Great, 'cos I can't."
"Actually, I think I'm the only one who can in this room..."
"I could cook," Tala replied. "But I wouldn't waste my time doing so for a bunch of low-lifes like you."
"Hn. Speak for yourself, Tala," Kai said. "You're the low-life here."
"Oh, so Hiwatari thinks I'm a low-life, eh?" Tala smirked and gestured towards Kyla. "Then what about her?"
Kyla bit her lip. ~This is getting nowhere~ she thought. "Guys... uh..." she stammered.
Kai frowned, hesitating.
//You don't know her. She's not a –//
/Dranzer!/
//Sorry, Master...//
"Geesh, you're all low-lifes," Kai answered coldly, closing his eyes.
/This is stupid. Pathetic. Stuck with a bunch of idiots for a whole year./
//Oh, so now you're talking to me?//
/Want me to talk about you?/
//Oh! Oh, no... Master...//
"Hey, want to beybattle?" Kyla suggested, giving a weak smile.
"Oui, I'm bored," Oliver said.
"Amateur," Kai and Tala muttered in unison.
"What? I'm not an amateur!" Kyla exclaimed.
"I beat you," Tala said in a bored tone. "And I bet even he can." He nodded towards Oliver.
"You only beat me because you had a bit beast and I didn't!" Kyla argued.
Tala shrugged. "Still an ama– what? You have a bit beast now?"
Kyla nodded, beaming.
//I want to battle, master//
/Amateur/
//How do you know? Just because she's a girl?//
/Hn./
"Well, we're going anyway," Kyla announced.
"So long, amateurs," Tala replied.
//You're scared to lose to a girl, aren't you, Kai?//
/Never. I am never scared – and definitely not of a girl./

SD: That was pretty short too, compared so some of the chapters coming up! So... That was that. Kai, Tala, Oliver, and Kyla, all in one room.
Kyla: Why Oliver? If you wanted real conflict, why didn't you have Tyson instead? Or Johnny? Or someone...
SD: Yah, well, I could've, but I didn't *scratches head, frowning* Hmm... Why didn't I...?
