-1HILARY

My eyes rested on Onyx sitting in the back of the class as usual and alone. She had her eyes closed under that hat of hers with her arms folded across her chest. She really was like Kai when he was a kid, if she wasn't a girl I wouldn't be surprised if I was looking at a mirror image. I gave up asking her to take her hat off a long time ago. Detentions didn't work, the threat of being suspended for a short period of time didn't faze her. Not even the fact she would be expelled if she kept acting like this. No matter what I tried it always ended in failure with Onyx. She wasn't stupid or illiterate in fact she was very intelligent and could achieve top grades if she could be bothered to do the work.

Her friends don't know her anymore and she pushed them away. She beats the crap out of bullies but they always keep coming back for more which is very strange. I'm not sure she has anyone but her aunt and uncle to be with. But how they put up with Onyx is anyone's guess.

I invited Tyson, Ray, Max and Kai to come and tell the children about their travels. Kai was a tough cookie to crack but eventually caved in on one condition. He said he would do it if we could somehow get Onyx to show them her bit beast chip in order to know what they were dealing with when the tournament came around. The rest of them heard this and agreed it would be a good idea so their children would get a helping hand. I knew Kai's daughter wasn't entered in the tournament but I think he was concerned for the other kids. Kenny didn't want to do it, he still hated the fact he became famous in the first place.

They came in and the children cheered. They weren't born when the blade breakers existed but I showed them a video or two of their fantastic victories. Oh and did I tell you, most of my class are Beyblade fanatics. Kai was his usual quiet self, Max was cheerful, Ray was composed whilst Tyson still had his big fat mouth. He always became so talkative when there were a few fans around him. But when I told Tyson to be quiet and let the rest of the old team answer some questions did he button his lip.

"How many people own a Beyblade in here?" Max asked and most of the class raised their hands. They then got them out and held them high above their heads so the blade breakers could see. Onyx was the only one who didn't participate. She rolled her eyes as thought thinking this was stupid and a waste of time.

Tyson smiled and winked at our son who was in my class with Onyx. The kids were excited about what was happening in their class room but she couldn't careless.

Later the kids did a show and tell of the beyblades the children owned. One child after another stood beside their desks and told them about their beyblades. This lasted for an hour and I could see Onyx was becoming bored. She sighed and rolled he eyes again.

ONYX

Do I want to know about their pathetic beyblades? What is with this stupid lesson? All that's happened is these guys told us about the dangers and the glory of becoming world champions. And now my class is doing a show and tell of their beyblades. What's next?

The answer to my question came next when the quiet one called Kai decided to speak. "How many of you have bit beasts?" One or two beside Tyron put their hands up but I didn't want to be apart of this so I kept my hand down. However I could see Kai looking right at me as though he knew I had one. I didn't care and just looked right back at him. Now the class turned and looked at me to see who Kai was looking at. "Onyx, you have a bit beast don't you?" The teach asked hoping I would reply.

KAI

Onyx looked at Tyrone, back to me and then at Hilary. Onyx raised her hands above her head and clapped three times in a slow and loud sarcastic way. "You guys are too much, really you all deserve an Oscar. I wasn't born yesterday you know. Did you really think I wouldn't figure it out? If you put on this little act just to know what kind of power I hold then your stupider than you look."

"Hey!" Tyson said and got up out of his seat but Ray put an arm in front of his friend to stop the hot head's advance. Her words made them all angry and I didn't like being called stupid much either. I'm actually starting to think her last sentence was targeted at me because she looked right at me. Onyx got up and put her coat on ready to leave. She looked at Tyrone who looked just as angry as his father. She turned back to us and glared in such a way it would've melted the ice caps. "I hope your children like surprises because they're gonna get some."

With that little note she got up and walked out the door at the back of the class. "School isn't over yet!" Hilary called. "It is for me!" Onyx called back. We watched as she walked out of the gates with no real hurry on her side. "I'm sorry for her guys I truly am."

"Hey don't sweat it Hilary, none of us would've known she would act this way." Max said and patted her arm in a reassuring kind of way.

After the class got our autographs the bell rang signalling the end of the day. I thought about Onyx's little threat at the end of the lesson and wasn't the only one. Tyrone looked troubled which had gone unnoticed by Tyson who was busy talking to Ray and Max about the old days. So I decided to help the kid out. "Hey don't worry about her. You have your fathers bit beast on your side and you have some talent like him."

"Thanks Kai." Tyrone said and took out his beyblade. He clenched it in his hand and ran off. I could only presume he'd gone off training like his father would do when I first met him. Tyrone was so much like his father it was uncanny.

Hilary apologised so many times when Onyx left I thought I was going to do something I was likely to regret. "You shouldn't have to apologise for her Hilary." Ray said looking cautiously at Tyson who was too angry to talk. "We should get her to apologise, do you know where she lives?" Tyson said through gritted teeth. Hilary went through her draw. "I meant to see her house at some point anyway." She found it after a minute of searching. "Ah, here we are. She lives with a Sarah and Mathew Kelly." With that we all headed to Onyx's place.
