'Text' Tala's inner self
"Does this jumpsuit make me look sexy?"
Now you're probably thinking what could have possibly gotten me to ask that question….well I'll tell you. It starts off early this morning when my team and I were called for an important meeting. Before I get to that I think I should introduce myself first. My name is Tala Valkov. I'm the captain of the Russian beyblading team known as the Demolition Boys…well I was at least before Kai had to come and change everything.
Kai Hiwitari is the grandson of Voltaire Hiwitari, whom just happens to be in charge of everything here at Balcov Abbey. Well you're now probably wondering why it isn't called the Hiwitari Abbey instead of the Balcov Abbey. Well Hiwitari Abbey just sounds dumb and for another, supposedly the Abbey is run by a man name Boris Balcov.
He is the coach of the team you can say, and he is the one in charge of overseeing everything that goes on around here. The reason he's not in charge is real simple…money. That's right money…without it the Abbey would be just another tourist attraction. Being the beneficial backer, and co-founder of this lovely (yeah right) place he unfortunately has a say on what does go on here.
Which brings me back to the fact that my position as captain, the one I worked so long and hard for, was given away in an instant to some spoiled, egotistical, rich brat. How fair is that? Well I guess its ok…its not like anyone on my team will listen to him anyway. Speaking of my team let me introduce them.
First there's Spencer. Spencer is an extremely tall blonde, with a very muscular build…now I'm not saying that I'm looking, its just really hard to not notice. Spencer is a very strong and silent type. He likes to battle quickly but also quick enough to humiliate his opponents when they lose.
Next is Bryan. Bryan is tall almost as tall as Spencer; he has a lavender hair color with the same color eyes. When Bryan blades, he is very powerful and just as ruthless. He has no remorse whatsoever for the pain that he puts others through. But don't get me wrong he's not bad all the time, in fact he's my closest friend…its just the way that we are raised and brought up here, that makes us act the way we do.
The last member of the team is Ian. Not only is he the youngest, but he is also the shortest, with purple bluish hair and the biggest nose you will ever see. You shouldn't underestimate him by his appearance thought. Even if he is just a substitute for the team he is quite powerful and ruthless…just not as ruthless as Bryan.
Now let's get back to the horrible situation that I had put myself through. My team woke up early as we are expected to do and dress in these ridiculous matching looking uniforms and go to this meeting that we just have to attend to or get severely punished if we don't. If you knew how bad things were around here…you have know problem with taking the latter option.
At this meeting, we (my team and I) were being informed about the upcoming Worlds and how things were gonna happen. This is where I found out that Kai would be taking my place as captain. Now if it not had been for the fact, that showing emotions was considered a weakness around here, and I would have been thoroughly punished if I did, I would have thrown the biggest tantrum you could ever see a fifteen year old throw. But seeing as the consequences are not very desirable, I just kept up my emotionless mask, and accepted it.
One last change was made before we could be on are way…our uniforms…apparently wearing the same uniforms doesn't seem to be a good idea. Why for the life of me I can't figure that out…I mean don't other sports teams wear the same uniforms to tell the two teams apart? Anyways they can't be that bad right?
Oh how wrong I was
"What the fuck? Who in the hell do they think they are? Is this some kind of sick fucking joke!" I think its safe to say that Bryan is pissed…very very pissed. To bring you up to speed we just received our brand new outfits and are being forced almost immediately to wear them, so we can get a feel for them…I'm starting to think I should retract my negative comment about our old uniforms compared to these new ones, they were things to be worn by royalty.
Now back to the situation at hand. Now having to wear these ridiculous outfits all day in front of everyone I might add, we have just got back to our rooms and are trying and I mean really trying to get Bryan to calm down. I should point out that we each have separate rooms but we spend so a lot of time with each other in each others rooms that we just label them as all of ours.
"Calm down Bryan…I'm not liking this as much as you are but we have to deal with it or else-"
"Or else what Tala…we'll get beaten and whipped to submission…id rather get beaten than wear this crap." Bryan stated still clearly upset over this issue and nothing seems to be working.
I can see what he means though whoever had these outfits in mind when they were made…were clearly on some kind of drugs. Spencer is wearing Dark white pants, with a green vest over a bright orange shirt. Ian is wearing Dark green overalls over a brown shirt. Bryan is wearing Maroon pants, with a matching vest outlined in fur around the collar, over a dark blue shirt. And me, I'm wearing a sleeveless white jumpsuit, over a long-sleeved blue shirt, with orange stripes running along the front of the jumper and the sides along the shoulder blades and legs, In addition is dark blue belt, with orange straps connected to it which hangs just below my hips.
Not only do they not do justice to us…I feel strangely insecure while wearing mine. Its weird I keep all these not so friendly looks from guys around the abbey. No ones ever paid much attention to me before today and it's quite unnerving.
"Even thought I may agree with you a little with you Bryan, the sooner we get this tournament over with the sooner we can get rid of these horrid uniforms…till then just stop complaining…and we may get through this." Spencer interjected before I could.
"Whatever" Bryan sighed. "I need a drink I'll see you guys later. Now you're probably wondering how Bryan managed to bring Alcohol in here. Well don't ask because I don't even know. But having a couple of drinks docent sound to bad right about now.
It was around midnight before we all managed to sneak back into our rooms and not get caught for being out and up passed curfew. As soon as I got in my room and shut my door I felt someone else's presence.
Still feeling kind of tipsy, I timidly called out. "Hello...who's there?"
"Tsk tsk Tala. First I find that your out past curfew, then I discover that you've been drinking…just what would Boris do when he finds out about all of this" said a mocking yet familiar voice, hidden in the shadows of the wall opposite of where I was standing.
"Kai?" I asked, as I tried to place the voice with a face. I was indeed proven correct when he stepped into the moon light that was pouring into my room through the barred windows.
"What the hell are you doing here." I hissed. He was one of the last people I wanted to see. Especially in my bedroom.
"I thought I told you already" he replied. "I came to check up on you but you weren't here. I really don't want to but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to report you." He said with a smug expression on his face.
"You wouldn't dare." I said while calling his bluff.
"And why wouldn't i?"
"Because you wouldn't risk getting yourself in trouble for walking around and disturbing him after curfew. If you were to tell on me, you would be telling on yourself."
His expression dropped, but was replaced with a smirk. "So I guess since I don't want to get in trouble for being out past curfew…I should just stay here with you huh?"
Man I just wanted to knock that smirk right off his face…but seeing as he's about twice my size I'll just think of something else." There is no way in hell that your staying here."
Oh yeah brilliant…can I really not come up with a better comeback than that? Now I remember why I don't drink much. It tends to make me act really stupid.
Kai just chuckled and started walking towards me, as I started walking backwards to avoid him. When he had me backed to a wall, he took my wrists and pinned my arms above my head, and placed his body flush against mine, to keep me from moving. As uninhibited as I was, I couldn't put up much of a fight.
'Not that you would want to'
What who was that?
'Just your inner self speaking'
Oh great I have a person living inside of my head…that's it I've totally gone mad!
'Now…what do you mean by now…you've always been crazy you're just finally admitting to it'
Oh great now I'm insulting myself…how wonderful
'Yes now stop changing the subject and get back to the matter at hand'
Which is?
'The hot body being pressed against you'
Hot body? Your not referring to Kai are you?
'Is anyone else there? Of course I mean Kai you dummy'
Okay now I know I've totally lost it. Kai is anything but hot
'Anything but hot hmm…so that leaves, cute, gorgeous, handsome, totally fu-'
Don't you dare finish that sentence…you know your one sick minded person
'Technically I'm your mind so that means you were thinking all those meaning you're the sicko'
Just you wait I'm gonna
'Gonna do what you can't do anything without harming yourself'
I…I…
"Tala?...are you okay?"
"What?" I asked snapping out of my battle with my inner-self…and glaring at the subject of that battle.
"I asked if you were okay." He said, and for the first time I noticed that he had a look of concern on his face.
"Why do you care?" I asked.
He had a moment of surprise on his face, before he covered it with hi own emotional mask.
"What makes you say that?" he asked me
"I don't know maybe that look you were giving me just now."
"You were probably just imagining things"
"I know what I saw"
"Oh yeah?" he said while raising a slate eyebrow. Like he was daring me to challenge him.
It was then I decided to get a better look at him. Kai's fairly tall, with a pretty good muscular build. He had spiky two toned hair, a slate colored hair in the front and dark blue in the back. Maybe I was judging him to harshly before…or I just might be really wasted…anyways experimenting even if it is for one night wouldn't hurt would it?
So I locked my gaze with his and said one single word. "Yeah".
He smirked, licked his lips, and stared at mine." You know Tala…this jumpsuit actually suits you."
"Really?" I asked staring at him kind of skeptically.
"Yeah. It brings out just the right features and accentuates your body pretty nicely." I felt my face heat up at that comment.
"Tala you're blushing." Kai said in a sing song voice.
And just like that it happened. I'm not sure what made me do it…the thing I know is that I was kissing Kai. It was a new and different experience…I've never felt anything like it before but it was really enjoyable. Pretty soon Kai was kissing me back with just as much feeling as I was giving him. We continued this before the need for air became to strong then we both broke apart panting for air.
"Wow Tala that was…that was amazing" Kai said in-between breaths.
"Hmmm you're not so bad yourself". I replied.
"So…it's about one o'clock now…we've got about four more hours to ourselves before its time for everyone to be up…what do you want to do?" Kai asked letting go of me and stepping away with a feeling of awkwardness now.
"Not sure…how about we just try to get some sleep for now and pick things up where we left off tomorrow?" I suggested going towards my drawers to pick out my sleeping gear.
"Sounds good to me he says. "But how about picking up where we left off right now?" he suggests while coming to stand behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"As good as that idea sounds…I'm tired and we need rest for training tomorrow." I state while moving away from him and going to stand in front of my mirror to start brushing my hair for the night.
"Okay okay…I'll wait till tomorrow" Kai sighs while climbing into my bed. Watching him there, I'm not sure if it was the giddy feeling I was getting all of a sudden, lack of sleep, the alcohol not fully wearing off, or a mixture of the three, but all of the sudden I got the strong urge to just ask him so I did.
"Hey Kai?"
"Yes Tala?" he answered almost half asleep.
"Does this jumpsuit make me look sexy?"
