Chapter 5
Acquaintances
Aia: Now I'm really having fun with this story. We're also going to have references to here from 'Something Called Love'.
Krys had to wake up early to catch her plane. It took a few hours to get from London to Athens in Greece. She got off the plane and looked for the limo that was to take to school. She spotted the vehicule and climbed in. The drive to the academy took a couple of hours. Even from a few miles, the building and it's grounds were visible. The place was huge. The limo drove through the gateway. To Krys's half surprise, other students arrived by limo as well. Krys got out of the car, her suitcases were take care of by one of the attendants. Through the crowd, she made her way to one of the supervisors.
"Um…excuse me," she said in a small voice. The supervisor looked down at her.
"Yes, can I help you with anything?" the woman asked.
"Well, I just got here and I don't know where I need to go," Krys replied.
"Can you give you me your name please?"
"Krys Clearwater." The supervisor looked through her clipboard. She gave Krys the papers describing her courses and a map of the school's levels. She was also given her dorm number. Krys walked to the main entrance. While walking, she saw a blond hair boy with a group of girls. He was smiling and talking up a storm. The girls were obviously impressed by his chatter. 'Flirt,' Krys thought to herself before entering the academy. She immediately went to her dorm. Her luggage was already there. Krys stayed in her room, she wasn't in a mood to socialize.
Aia woke up alone. She looked around Kovu's room and noticed he was on the floor. 'I did take his bed,' Aia thought climbing out of the bed. She yawned and cuddled with Kovu on the floor. He felt something warm on him and woke up. He saw Aia fast asleep beside him and smiled. He got up sleepily and decided to go take a shower. Today his mom was at work so the three of them were alone for a couple of hours. Kovu left and met Kiara on the way. She was bringing Aia some breakfast. Aia looked at Kiara and noticed the food in her hands.
"Yay! Food!" Aia squealed. She wolfed down the breakfast in a matter of minutes. Kiara stared at her surprised.
"Guess you're really hungry. When was the last time you ate?" she asked Aia.
"About two days," replied Aia, downing a glass of milk. She realized she had to use the bathroom.
"Uhhh…where's the bathroom?" she asked.
"Down the hall to your left," Kiara said. Aia walked down the hall and opened the door to the bathroom. Kovu was coming out of the shower when Aia walked in. She screamed and ran out, Kovu's face went red. Kiara heard the scream and went to go check it out. Aia was leaning against the bathroom door, face beet red.
"Uhhh…" Kiara said staring at her. Aia held her knees and was rocking back and forth. Kovu opened the door, causing Aia to fall on her back and look up at him.
"I'm so sorry," she said getting up.
"It's okay. You're just lucky my mom isn't home," Kovu said. Aia sighed and quickly ran into the bathroom. She came out a couple of minutes later and slowly went back to Kovu's room. He had just finished his own breakfast.
"So Aia, why did you come to Japan? Don't you have any relatives around here?" Kiara asked. Aia sighed. She was going to have to tell them eventually.
"Well, where I lived in China, we beybladed a lot. M grandfather decided that it was time for us to get our bitbeasts…"
"Bitbeasts?" Kiara asked confused.
"Here, I'll show you," Aia said taking her bag and found her beyblade. She pointed to the bitbeast in the middle.
"It's these spirits that help power up beyblades. Each of them have different attacks," Aia said.
"Oh."
"Anyways, we had gotten our bitbeasts. I got Ashita, the cheetah but my friend had gotten one of the special bitbeasts. I was jealous because I thought I deserved it. My friend loved the bitbeast more than anything but I decided to take it and prove to my grandfather that I deserved it. Well, my friend caught me and he took back the bitbeast. He didn't say anything or even look at me. I didn't want to stay there so I left," Aia said, skipping the part that 'this friend' had confessed his love to her…sort of. Kiara stared at her.
"How did you get to Japan?" Kovu asked.
"I snuck onto a plane," Aia said.
"Do you have family in China that you left?" Kiara asked.
"My parents, my grandparents and my brother," Aia said on the verge of tears. She was trying hard not to cry. Kovu caught the glimpse of tears. He wrapped his arms around her, surprising her. She smiled and closed her eyes.
"How old are you anyways? Kiara asked curious.
"10, you?"
"I'm 10 too," Kiara replied.
"I'm 13," Kovu said letting go of Aia.
"Why can't you ask your mom if I could stay here?" Aia asked.
"Trust me. You'd be out of here in a flash if our mom knew you were here," Kovu said grimly. Aia looked confused but then she noticed that both of them had bruises on their faces and arms. Kiara noticed her glance. She quickly covered her arms.
"Our mom doesn't really care about us," Kiara said. Kovu glanced at the ground. Aia felt bad for them. She understood the pain they were going through.
Krys sat in her dorm. She looked over the subjects she had that day. She picked up her bag and left the room. The school was very big but after wandering around yesterday, she basically knew where everything was. Her first class was English so she went up to the third floor. She sat down at the back and popped open her laptop. A boy with greenish hair walked into the room. He sat down in front of Krys and opened his laptop as well. The same blond boy Krys saw a couple of days ago walked in. He looked around and smiled when he saw an empty space beside Krys. Krys rolled her eyes but allowed him to sit beside her.
"My name's Enrique, what's yours?" he asked.
"Krys." The boy with green hair turned around.
"Are you Krys Clearwater?" he asked.
"Yes, and you are…"
"Oliver and let me just say that it is an honor…"
"Honor?" Krys asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, your father designed the lastest beyblade right?"
"Yeah, so? Just treat me like any other person. Please," Krys said sighing. Enrique laughed. A boy with brown spiky hair walked in followed by a boy with purple hair. They sat close to the window.
"Whata re they doing here?" Oliver asked.
"Their parents wanted them to go to the best school in Europe, meaning here," Enrique explained leaning his head on his hand.
"Who are they?" Krys asked.
"Johnny and Robert. Robert is well-mannered but Johnny is just plain annoying," Oliver said.
"He thinks he's all that," Enrique said. Krys laughed at this remark. The teacher came in and told them what to do. It turned out that Enrique, Oliver and Johnny were in all of Krys's classes. Robert had taken some other classes but he did have English, French, Latin and apparently Greek with her.
Aia: I really like the Krys parts. It's really interesting…lol. Anyways, enjoy and please review!
