Chapter 5: Wrong Start
Note: I really worked hard on this chapter for all of you, I even spent practically all night and morning editing, so please do tell me what you thought of it.
"Since the day you saw me…." Hilary whispered
"Yea…" Tala replied, placing his hand behind his neck.
"No, we can't… we can't be more than friends Tala… we just can't, not with him still holding my heart, we just can't! I'm sorry… just leave" gruffly pushing Tala away from her, she looked to the side.
"So you want me to love you from afar…."
"LEAVE TALA! WE DON'T EVEN KNOW EACHOTHER!"
"Do you believe in love at first sight…" Tala widened his eyes, he just said something that was new to his vocabulary, since when did he care about love. He turned around to leave, but felt his wrist grabbed.
"Not if someone proved it to me and that person left me two years ago…"
"Whatever Hilary, I have better shit to do… let this be our last encounter, whatever happened between us was nothing but mere bullshit"
Hilary let go off Tala wrist, lost of words, she just let him go…

(Two Days Later)
"Alright Hilary, ready to go back to Kruckers, today the teams are going to start some random challenges" said Mr. Dickinson awaiting for Hilary to receive her medical papers.
"Uhh sure Mr.D, I'm ready" Hilary murmured, the nurse gave her papers to sign, and when she was done, Mr. Dickinson led her to his car.
Driving, Mr. Dickinson was uncomfortable with the sudden awkward silence.
"Well Hilary…Doc. Swift was talking to me…are you sure your fine… I found it very bizarre, your fall, freezing cold water…." Mr. Dickinson went on.
"Oh really? Well not to worry Mr. D I'm fine, nothings wrong with me, I must have slipped or something haha!"
Mr. Dickinson nodded, nothing was said through out the whole ride, just small conversations here and there.
"Well, we're here lets go inside… I'm sure practice has already started"
"…..Okay…"

"Goddamit Galux! Cat bite!" A gust of smoke appeared as two blades collided each other.
"Mariah, the more anger you show, the worse things will get, relax… Now lets end this! Trygator! Now, Water Smash Galux!" A pink blade went flying out of the dish, barely missing it's owners cheek.
"Rematch…" Emily offered, as she grabbed her spinning blade at the dish.
"No thanks…" responded Mariah, she turned around, just to meet Hilary, sitting at the bench with Rei, Max, Tyson, Kenney, and the other teams.
"The nerve she has to come here"
"Well Hilary glad to have you back, but we have to go back to practice, see you around!"
Hilary nodded as they all scattered away to their training grounds
"Hilary your back, I missed you!" Hilary smiled at the approaching orange head.
"Glad I'm back Emily, don't worry no more stupid Hilary" Hilary joked.
"I highly doubt that'll ever happen, lets go Emily rematch" Mariah frowned grabbing Emily's arm to lead her to an empty dome.
Sighing as she looked at Mariah dragging Emily to a rematch Hilary stood up, and took random walks at the center until she noticed a certain red head battling against Rei.
"Wolborg! Dodge, use novae Rog!"
"Eh, dude you really need to concentrate, Driger don't let Wolborg, catch up to you, Gatling Claw!"
Both blades, were sent flying out of the dome, creating an electric fume of gas. The dome severely damaged at the summoning of both bitbeats. Smirking Rei gave a handshake to Tala, before running of to a next battle.
"Not bad… well I wouldn't know would I?" blushing Hilary looked at Tala, the floor looking oddly interesting to her.
"So your back… nice to know your doing fine…"
"Everyone's saying that lately…"
"Why wouldn't they? They were all worried about you"
"Yea.. I guess, Mariah's not talking to me…"
Tala gripped Wolborg, as his green-aqua orbs stared at Hilary, she kept looking at the floor.
"Want to take a walk…" Hilary's head went straight up, did he just say…
"Sure, lets go!"
Tala nodded and walked towards the entrance, awaiting Hilary to catch up.
"I heard Krockers has opened a new icecream shop… want to go there?"
Tala grunted a reply, slowly they headed. Hilary smiled, she just couldn't believe how similar Tala's emotions were to Kai. Same I'm-Tough-Don't-Look-At-Me look, same conceited reply, same stupid pride… okay maybe no the same pride, close though.
Hilary then caught herself looking at Tala's hand, she blushed, for some reason she wanted to hold it, she wanted to hold hands with him… they were walking through the beach, just as the sun was setting, showing off it's luminescent colors, and that's when she did it, she cupped her small hands with his.
"I'm sorry about what I said in the clinic… in reality Tala… I do believe in love at first sight… I just can't move on, it's like he's their, haunting me…"
Tala gave Hilary a slight squeeze.
"Dude! I cannot believe we caught that!"
Hilary and Tala broke off, shocked Hilary saw Tyson and Daichi taking pictures with their cell phones.
"TYSON, DIACHI! YOU BOTH ARE SOOO DEAD!"
Tyson and Diachi swept dropped, oh man were they in it now, this time they new Hilary was going to chop their jewels, just like she said before
"You spy on me one more time! And next time I swear I will chop your family jewels, and you won't be able to produce enough semen for your whore"
They stuttered, just as Hilary began stomping towards them, in a blink of an eye, they ran.
"Let them go… I won't mind sharing my love…"
Feeling strong arms circling her waste, Hilary turned around, her ruby orbs softening as Tala placed yet another kiss to her lips.

"Dude, how long does it takes those idiots to find Tala and Hilary? I thought Tyson had some delusional power to find Hilary, especially if she was with someone…" stated Marium while looking at the remaining blade breakers. The White Tigers were still practicing, and both the Saint Shields and the Blitzkrieg Boys were sitting at the benches awaiting Tyson and Diachi.
"I'm hungry…" All eyes were set at Dunga, Marium's eye twitched
"HOW CAN YOU BE THINKING OF FOOD IN A CRISIS LIKE THIS!" screamed Marium hastily, now everyone sweat dropped
"Uhh Marium, what crisis?" Max questioned, eating his cotton candy.
"Naw, Max she's just retarded… you should see her when she brakes a nail" Ozuma butted in, since when did he do humor?
"GUYS! DUDES AND DUDETTES! WHAT ME AND DIACHI ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU IS NOT FOR VIRGIN EYES!"
The teams heard Tyson and Diachi come inside the center hysterically laughing and screaming. Trying desperately to open their flip phones, Tyson tripped on his own feet his cellphone flying, hitting Diachi's head making Diachi fall and drop his phone.
"Nooo! Mine says memory lost!" Diachi whined, picking up Tyson's cellphone, he browse through the picture gallery, one photo left.
"Please tell me we have one!" Tyson prayed, he just had to show them Hilary and Tala's little cutesy scene.
"Uhh Yea there is one picture, but it's… it's…. of your hello kitty boxers sticking out…."
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
Diachi passed on the cell phone with his teammates, Tyson gapped in embarrassment.
"Dude, and I thought I was uncool when I wore my froggy boxers" Dunga joked, a triple sized hamburger in his left hand.
"I'm going to bed" Tyson mourned, his cheeks turning even redder than before.

"Umm vanilla with extra sprinkles" The man nodded as he scooped up vanilla ice cream from it's tray, sprinkling extra rainbow colors flecks in the process.
"Here you go miss, young man are you getting anything?"
"No thanks" Tala paid for Hilary's ice cream, they both sat down at a near by counter.
"Why didn't you get anything?" Hilary asked, licking off the sprinkles.
"I don't like ice cream…"
"Tala, how can you not like ice crea-" snagging Hilary's cone, Tala started eating it.
"Hey! Wtf, it's mine!"
"Hmm actually? Scratch that, ice cream is pretty good" Tala smirked biting the last piece of the cone.
Hilary pouted, she looked outside the window, it was already dark, the teams must have gone to sleep by now.
"We should head back…"
Tala nodded, stuffing his hands on his pockets, he followed Hilary back to the dorms.

(Next Day, Saturday)
"Beep, Beep, Beep"
Yawning Hilary awoke, her clock now becoming a nuisance to her, she grabbed it and threw it out the window.
"Shut Up!"
Sighing. Hilary got off the bead, she headed towards the bathroom to take a short shower, now remembering to set the faucet to warm. She smiled of yesterdays events.
"Tala is such a great person when he's not holding his pride…"
Giggling. Hilary finished, she grabbed herself a black tank top and a white miniskirt. Hilary blow-dried her hair and headed down to the center, not forgetting to put on her old black and white chucks.
"MORNING!"
"OHIO HILARY!"
"You guys have training today?" Hilary questioned, checking to see if she spotted Tala.
"Everyday except Sundays, tournaments are coming up soon, so we have to prepare" Max replied, a whimpering Diachi hiding behind him, to scared to meet Hilary.
"Ohhh… well I guess I'll just watch, by the way… you haven't seen Tyson or Diachi?"
"Ohhhh…. Them nope, haven't seen them, I… Well… I'm off" Max stuttered, walking backwards.
"Oh okay… see you Max"
"Wierdo"
"I wonder where Tala is… Hmmm" Hilary wondered, her eyes scanning the center once again and as in tact Tala appeared.
"Morning ice cream dude!" Hilary chuckled, locking his arms with his.
"Morning…"
This was the first time Hilary noticed Tala's well toned arm muscles, he was wearing a short cut sleeve shirt which hugged his body, showing off his chest.
"So strong…" Hilary barely whispered
"Hilary! SINCE WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!"
"Huh?" Hilary saw Marium and Emily smirking, pointing at Hilary's arm being locked with Tala's.
"Ohh, nononononono we're just friends" Hilary fought back.
"Oh no! only girlfriends lock their arms, guys don't lock their arms with girls… that's if Tala like guys, then that's a different story…." Marium eyed Tala her eyebrow raising, until a smirk formed on her lips, a gleam showing off in her eyes.
"What is she planning?" Tala thought, watching Emily and Marium whisper at each other.
"GUYS! HILARY AND TALA ARE GOING OUT LIKE WHOA!"
That shocked Hilary like wild fire, letting go of Tala's arm, she covered her mouth with her hand. She wasn't going out with Tala… they were just friends, good friends….How could she go out with Tala, when someone else already held her heart.
"That's a lie! How can you say that… when I still love Kai!"
Hilary ran off, leaving Marium and Emily in pure bewilderment, they were just playing around. Tala bowed his head, putting his arms to the side, his hands making a fist, he walked away, his green-aqua eyes turning a slight red….
Hilary POV:
I couldn't hide it any longer, I can't deny the fact that I still haven't forgotten about Kai. His kisses, his warmth, his everything. Two years and yet I haven't moved on. But could it be? Could it be that Tala does care for me, I don't even know that guy much… but somehow I feel a great connection between us… Maybe I should give Tala a chance, but that'll never happen, the way his eyes widened when I said I still love Kai… What have I done.. The only guy that does care, what am I saying? He doesn't care? Wait what the hell am I saying? He does care for me, everyone does, it's true… Kai your ruining everything! God I hate you, burn in hell Kai, your corroding my life, wherever you are.. Stay there, because now, I'm planning to move on, to move on with Tala even if it means to write a 500 word essay to him, Tala loves me, confessed his love to me, and I'm sure he won't let me go, like you did…
