Wishful Thinking

Chapter Two: Business Party

Kai's POV

I tapped my pen on my textbook, oh great, history. Instant boredom. I watched Tala pass a note to the front row; I rolled my eyes, a new rumour, which is childish for a seventeen-year-old. This was going to be one LONG hour.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I threw my bag on the floor and walked calmly down the steps into our gym, and jogged at a steady pace on the treadmill

"Kai?" My mother called,

I slipped and fell of the moving treadmill, Arghhh…

"Yes?" I answered,

"Come upstairs,"

I trudged slowly up the stairs. "There is to be a business dinner, there is to be dancing, the party is to be held on Sunday, the host is Mr. Li, this is a chance for us to meet some other Beyblade companies. Mr. Li has a daughter, I expect you to be kind to her."

"Whatever," I answered. A business party, who gives? Not like it would make a big change in my life.

The next day, Saturday, at 6am my alarm sounded. My pillow muffled the sound of me groaning, I switched off my alarm, and got out of bed.

I leant against the wall to do some stretches. Then went downstairs to practise sword fighting.

Normal POV

Michelle Li (Mr. Li's daughter) was listening to Good Charlotte on her M.D. when she heard someone knocking on her door. "Come in…" she called, her father opened up her door, "Michelle," he said, "I hope you have remembered that we are holding the dinner party, have you picked out a dress yet?"

"Yes dad," she answered and she hurried to her closet, out of the many dresses she had, she picked out a black one.

It had thin straps, and was very stylish. "That will do fine, Michelle," her father said with a twinkle in his eye. He walked out of the room. Michelle sighed, she strangely dreading this business party, which was strange for her as she was usually outgoing.

She wondered what Kai Hiwatari was like; probably another stuck up boy from the city. Anyway, not that it mattered.

Michelle sighed and went upstairs to the second floor; her house consisted of the underground floor, ground floor, and second floor.

She slid a sword off a hook on the wall, it was her own sword, it was silver with rubies imbedded on the hilt, and delicately engraved in the sword was her name, Michelle Li, she practised her moves at a fast pace with grace.

This was her joy; sword fighting, it came before all of her other hobbies of watching T.V., doing martial arts, music, video games, and anything else a teenager would like.

She went downstairs for a snack; she opened up the pantry and pulled out a chocolate bar. Her father earned a lot of money with his Beyblade business. She devoured the chocolate bar quickly and continued with her sword-fighting practise.

In fact that was what Kai was doing, his sword was silver with sapphires imbedded on the hilt. Just as he was finishing up he heard a noise, as he had quick reflexes, he swung his sword around, stopping it just at his mother's neck.

"Oh, it's you," he said, before placing his sword on its hook. "You have quick reflexes," he mother murmured, then she said, "As you know, Mr. Li's business dinner is to be held next week, Katie Lorenzo is going, what are you wearing to the business dinner?"

"Black long-sleeved T-Shirt, white hooded jumper and jeans." Kai answered in a bored voice. He was quite annoyed, Katie Lorenzo was the girl his father expected him to marry, and obviously Kai wasn't too happy.

He scowled, why did that stuck up girl have to come? She acted so… so annoying. She hung on to his every word, and she acted like she was rich. She was hardly rich, he father owned a small Beyblade company that didn't have a good business.

Michelle glanced at a photo of her mother, she sighed; she had always lived with her father since her mother died from cancer when Michelle was seven. Not that she didn't like her father, he was, unlike Kai's father, good-hearted, and he had always treated her kindly, as if he was trying to prove he was a good father.

When Michelle's father went on business trips she usually stayed at a friend's house, depending on how long he was gone.

Kai lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, he sighed. Why the hell did he have to go to a business dinner with a bunch of losers he didn't know and didn't want to know? He would rather be clubbing with his friends.

Michelle sat on her double bed; it was powder blue. She sighed, she would probably meet Kai Hiwatari at the business dinner, and she couldn't say that she was excited to meet him. Her father would say (like he always did) that Kai was a gentleman, and that she should dance with him.

She was worried about how the business dinner would turn out, but she would have to wait and see what the future held.
