Chap. 16 : Everything Changes

Carol was walking along the corridors, zoning out on earth.

' I have a bad feeling about this girl. She's planning something. Something bad. Poor Kai. Stuck with some Britney-Spears-wanna be. Feel sorry for him. Wait, AM I THINKING ABOUT KAI ! I'm not supposed to be thinking about him. But, then again, what's wrong worrying about your buddy when he's in the bad side of luck.' Thought Carol, scratching her chin as she entered the room.

' Just hope Kairemembers the deal hepromised the other day.' Thought Carol.

Ray and Mariah were already in there.

" Hi lovebirds ! Planning on how to spend Valentine's Day ?" mocked Carol.

" Hey !" said Mariah, ignoring the mocking.

" What's up ?" asked Ray, " Where's Kai ?"

" Old buddie had some problems that I cannot help him. It is up to him to handle it." Smiled Carol as she sat beside Mariah.

" What problems ?" asked Ray and Mariah together.

" Some new funky-dressed-up-Britney-Spears-wanna-be girl was just transferred into our class. She got to sit with Kai." Said Carol.

" Poor her. She'd be dead in 3 seconds time flat if she bothers Kai." Said Mariah.

" Well, it just so happens that I have the opposite thinking of what you think. It seems to me that this Lucy girl has some trick up her sleeve." Said Carol.

" You sound like Conan." Mumbled Ray as Carol shot a glare at him.

" Ooh ! You really resemble Kai. Same personality, same hobbies and movements either. Not to mention bitbeast elements." Said Mariah.

" Thanks for the 'compliment' " said Carol sarcastically.

Soon, the mini-stadium was beginning to fill up with people. After a few minutes, Kai and Lucy finally came in. Kai looked pissed-off.

" Oi buddy ! Over here !" yelled Ray, snapping his fingers to get Kai's attention to let him know that a seat was reserved for him.

Kai immediately walked away from Lucy, making his way towards the groupie.

" That girl's crazy !" he yelled, punching the wall, leaving a crack on it.

" Man, we have to get you some ice !" exclaimed Mariah.

" What happened ?' asked Carol.

" That Pathetic is the most annoying female I've ever seen. Worse than Tyson !" shouted Kai.

" Whoa ! Calm down !" said Ray but stopped by Carol.

" Let him do it. It'll make him feel better."

" Since when do you care about Kai ?" smirked Mariah, overhearing their conversation.

" Roommates should care about roommates. Isn't that correct ?" said Carol, trying to fight a blush.

" I see." Said Mariah, grinning to Ray.

" Alright now ! I want you all to practice on your skills before moving on to square two. Here are the pairings." Shouted Sir Ben.

A list was made. Poor Kai was up against Lucy and Carol was teamed with Mariah.

" Poor Kai. Wonder will he burst into the sky like a balloon." Said Carol pityingly.

" Nah. Don't worry. You're starting to be like his guardian. He can handle it himself." Smiled Mariah, watching Kai stomp off with anger.

" You're right ! And I believe we've haven't have a battle since from day one I get to know you." Said Carol.

" Bingo ! So, when will we get started ?" asked Mariah innocently.

" Now." Declared Carol as she got into position.

( Meanwhile, On Poor Kai's side … )

" Dranzer ! Phoenix Wrath !" commanded Kai.

" Scariol ! Sting tail !" said Lucy but Dranzer dodged it and headed straight for Scariol, knocking him out of the beydish and the sharp edges of the blade just scratched Lucy's arm, causing it to bleed.

" I'm so sorry !" said Kai.

" Can you help me to the school hospital ?" asked Lucy. ( Sheesh ! She's asking for it ! Can't she do it herself ? Mollycoddled. )

" Alright ." relented Kai as he took her to the hospital. " I'll be back in a jiffy !" he shouted to the teacher.

" What's going on ?" asked Carol.

" Beats me." Said Mariah, shrugging.

' What the fucking heck is going on around here? I really have a weird feeling about this.' Thought Carol worriedly, still looking at the swinging door.

" Let's get back to practice !" shouted Ms. Penny, clapping her hands at the same time.

-

Finally, school was over and Carol was bushed.

" I'm so tired ! Not to mention smelly and sweaty too." Said Carol, tossing clothes over her back. " Aha ! The perfect outfit." Said Carol, choosing a maroon T-shirt, black pants and black fingerless gloves as she went straight to the bathroom.

As soon as she was out, Kai came in.

" Hi Kai ! So, ready to go ?" asked Carol, smiling hopefully.

" Go where ?" asked Kai blankly.

" God ! You forgot ? You promised to go with me to buy the attack rings." Reminded Carol.

" On yeah ! You go yourself." Said Kai, packing a few stuffs into his bag, " I'm gonna be busy for the next few days so, you sleep alone. Oh, and Carol, help me buy attack rings for Dranzer too." Said Kai as he slammed the door, leaving Carol upset.

" Fine. Always telling me to do the work while you go off and have fun. What is his problem anyway. First he agreed to go with me and now saying that he's busy and asking me to buy them myself. C'mon Blazarine, we've got work to do." Muttered Carol darkly as she locked the door.

Carol was walking lonely down the corridors, heading towards the main entrance.

/ What's wrong mistress /

/ Go ask Dranzer./

/ Oh. /

/ Think this is gonna be along night./

/ Yeah. Just you and me./

/ I don't get it ! I've always wanted the room to myself and now I'm feeling lonely without Kai. /

/ Notice that you've been thinking about Kai lately. /

/ Don't know what you mean. /

/ Awww. C'mon. You know what I'm saying. /

/ No I don't and shut your ass up right now. / said Carol as she blocked her mind and the voice gradually disappeared.

But the truth is, Carol really has been thinking about Kai lately. She just don't know why. Why, why, why ? She always asks this question herself.

' Oh well, bet tomorrow I'll forget about him and he'll evaporate into thin air and disappear from my mind.' Thought Carol as she headed down street to the shop that sells beyblades parts.

So, how's the chap ? Glad if you like it and sorry if you don't. And thanks for you guys out there that reviewed and read my story.THANKS !
