Disclaimer: Yeah…I forgot to add one of these last chapter but here it is-I don't own beyblade or any of the characters and blah blah blah…

Alright, my last chapter was kinda confusing for everyone but let me make this clear. Every time I used "him" or "he", it was for Hiro. I wanted everyone to think it was Tyson who was her boyfriend at the beginning but that blew over. Whatever. At this point of the story Hilary goes back to the beginning of the school year to explain how her and Tyson started to become good friends. But remember all is not well at the beginning of the story. Enjoy

September

Although, my memory's somewhat foggy, I remember that in this month Tyson and I really made no verbal contact except for the first day of school.

As soon as my body was bathed in warm sunlight, I groaned. The light only meant that it was morning and morning meant the first day of school. I groggily sat up in bed and looked out my window from my apartment. Across from my bed there was a bulletin board posted up with dozens of pictures. There were some of me with Mariah and Emily and a lot with Hiro. I couldn't help but smile at them. It felt like it was going to be a good day but little did I know…

I rubbed my eyes and yawned a little and just as I was about to get out of bed, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"hey…"

"hey", I returned the sexy tone.

"You sleeping?" he asked.

"No" I said quickly as I sat up and stretched.

"That's good".

At this point in our relationship we had only been going out for six months but I had never felt so serious about a boy…. I mean a man. The past two months, during the summer, brought me closer to him than I have ever been to anyone except for Tyson.

"Listen baby, I know it's really early and you're pretty grouchy right now…."

I wasn't listening. I was lost in his caressing words. I was a lovesick puppy back then. All he had to do was call and I'd be ready to do anything for him. I was literally a schoolgirl with a huge crush.

"..so I just thought you ought to know that before I leave".

"What!", I snapped back to reality before too long. "You're dumping me?". At that moment I felt that strange clogged up feeling you get in your throat when you're fighting to hold back your tears.

"Calm down sweetheart. I'm not dumping you", he said using that cute kid-ish voice with me. "They finally gave me an assignment but it's in Egypt…"

Well he wasn't dumping me but being the insanely "lovesick" fool and the girl I was, I had to make a big deal.

"You're going to Egypt! I won't see you for…for…months!" I was being dramatic for the last part, I didn't know it would get thrown back in my face.

"Yes sweetie, I know that but…I really need this. You understand, don't you?"

"No" I squeaked. He sighed, at that time I thought that this was pretty cute that he would spend all this time trying to persuade me. I should have realized that he felt like he was dealing with a kid.

"Look, I really need to go. My flight's here. So I'll call you when I get there?"

"Bu-" Beep, beep, beep…

I sighed. I was in absolute pleasure. Sure he had just hung up on me but that didn't matter, this was love,. …right?

"Hilary! Get up!"

I walked to school that day. Yeah, I still didn't have a car but I wasn't eighteen yet. On that day only one thing was on my mind, Hiro.

"Hey Hilary!". I turn around only to see Mariah standing up in a topless red convertible with whom other than Ray, her boyfriend in the driver's seat. I still remember when Mariah called me up at four-o-clock in the morning to tell me the exciting news that Ray had finally asked her out. The car stopped next to me.

"Jump in Hilary" Mariah said, smiling. I looked over at Ray and got a nervous feeling in my stomach, not the kind of feeling I got when I was around Hiro, that was a good feeling.

"Ummm…no thanks, those kind of cars are unsafe for the environment besides I heard that they actually-"

"Just get in!"

"N-no…I'll just walk thanks"

"Fine suit yourself" and they drove. A couple more blocks and I made it to the gates of my school. I wasn't early like usually.

As I reach the front gates, I can see a small group of kids standing there, laughing. Mariah is with them since her boyfriend is good friends with all of them. I hear the bell ring and I quickly make my way up to the school. Once Ray is able to pry juvenile Mariah off his legs, I saw him making his way back to the car. Ray already finished school a year ago.

I began turning my lock in every which way. In true first day tradition, my locker was stuck.

"Damn", I mumbled. I dropped all my books on the floor and focused on my lock but no luck.

"Hey Hilary"

"Hey Em…" I said sleepily without looking at her.

"How was your summer vacation?"

"It was pretty good. Hiro and I went to movies a lot. We watched every summer movie. And we went to the beach where we-"

"Wow, so that's why I didn't hear from you much. You spent all your time with Hiro, huh?".

"Yeah well…", I should have turned around before but it was too late. Standing next to Emily with a huge grin was Max. They both stared at me for a moment. I couldn't help but blush.

"Sounds like you had fun" Max said, trying to break the tension.

I smiled weakly and nodded.

" 'Kay I think I should get going Emily. First period's gonna start". She nodded and he left.

"What?' she asked as I gave her a dirty look. "What?'

"What's the big deal bringing your boyfriend around here without any warning and letting me blab on and on about Hiro!"

"he is not my boyfriend". I ignored her and began walking down the hall to our first period class. "Okay I'm sorry. It won't happen again", she said as she caught up to me.

"But honestly Hilary I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like he'll tell you know- Tyson".

Emily had this ridiculous theory that because Tyson and I had been friends a long time ago, I had developed feelings for him. Well that theory was totally wrong….back then. The truth is I don't really know if I had feelings for him back then. I mean barely thought about him. Although he'd occasionally stroll into my thoughts when someone mentioned something about beyblade or eating too much.

"What are you talking about? I wouldn't care if he found out. That's just stupid. I just don't want our relationship to be exploited".

It was true. I didn't want it to be exploited too much because as you might have already guessed our "relationship" was illegal. Since Hiro was 25 and I was only 17, it was considered statutory rape to some people. I was still underage.

We entered the class and our attention quickly turned to the boy who was jumping up and down and calling to us. Emily rolled her eyes.

"You guys come sit here! Over here". I smiled and looked over at the irritated Emily.

"Come on. We're coming Kenny!". I pulled her by the arm but I stopped as soon as I saw who was sitting next to Kenny. Emily sat down and stared at me. I felt her tug my sleeve and I sat down next to Kenny.

"Hey! What's up?" he said happily.

"Umm… nothing much".

"Coincidence that we ended up in the same chem. class again, huh?"

"Yeah" I said quietly.

"Hey Emily" Kenny said happily. Emily forced a smile and responded with a nod.

"Would you calm down, Kenny? It's just Emily". I felt that strange nervous feeling again as he spoke. He casually tilted his chair back on it's two legs and put his hands behind his head.

"Tyson come on. Just cause Chemistry isn't your favorite morning class doesn't mean you have to ruin it for the rest of us". Kenny promptly told him. Tyson just rolled his eyes. Class began and of course the teacher felt he should move some of us around.

"Rachael you move next to Hiroshi and Kenny you move next to Emily. Okay Sarah you move next to Ayumi and Hilary…where to put you? How about next to Mr. Kinomiya?".

The entire class looked at me and then at Tyson. They all knew about our past together. I gracefully took my seat next to him and looked directly ahead. Make-no-eye-contact.

"Now turn to the person next to you"

Oh no, eye contact.

"And shake hands…". I looked at the floor while Tyson looked at me. We lightly brushed hands and then I yanked my hand back. "Congratulations everyone, you've just met your new chem. partners".

I groaned inwardly. I looked down the row to Kenny and Emily. They were both giving me concerned looks.

Back then, I had never been that close to Tyson, not since we the team broke up.

He began the lesson and I tuned out. I was more anxious to get out of there then anything else. He just explained the course outline to us, the tests and answered any other questions that Kenny asked. Finally, the bell rang and I was off to my next class.

After that I met up with Mariah and Emily at lunch.

"You guys I have the best History teacher!" Mariah squeaked. We both rolled our eyes and took our usual seat next to the window.

"So how was your guys day?" she said smiling.

"Ah it was okay…wasn't that great. Math class sucks cause we already got homework and chem. was boring… actually, it was quite entertaining, watching Hilary that is"

"What?' I began to pay attention as soon as I heard my name.

"Nothing" Emily said with a sly smile. "Hilary got stuck with her ex lo-ver"

I furrowed my brow and simply stated, "He was never my lo-ver".

"Who are you guys talking about?". Mariah leaned in from across the table with interest.

"Tyson Kinomiya, who else?" Emily said happily. They both began to laugh. "You should have seen her face. It was so funny. She ran out of there so fast, she forgot to take a course outline"

"Oh shit. I did forget". I was about to get up but I stopped and so did Emily and Mariah's laughing. I looked up to see Tyson balancing a tray of food on one hand and holding a piece of paper in the other.

"Hey" he said calmly. No response. "Ummm… you forgot this in Chem". No response. I heard Emily and Mariah begin to giggle. I finally found my voice.

"Uh-thanks". I took it from him and he began to walk away when he suddenly tripped and let go of the tray. It landed right in my lap leaving me with my mouth open. I heard a deafening silence but it was quickly broken by the loud noise of laughter. I looked to my left to see Tyson lying there, grinning at me.

Anger boiled in me as my face turned my face turned red. I threw down the napkin in my hand and ran of to the bathroom.

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the food stains out of my skirt. I rubbed the wet towel paper vigorously against it but it was no use. I heard the door open and I turned around to see Tyson standing there.

"What are you doing here?' I said, giving him dagger eyes.

"Listen Hil…I didn't mean to. It just slipped out of my hands"

"Whatever" I continued to rub, I hoped he would leave but he didn't.

"You know you should really use some club soda because water doesn't work"

"I know that!". I dropped the tissue and marched over to him. "Don't you think I know that!"

"It was just a suggestion. You don't have to bite my head off". I took a deep breath. "You still yell like it's the end of world"

"Thank you. Thank you for telling me!"

"If you would just let me do it for one minute-"

"If you would just leave the girls bathroom", I said pointing to the door. He crossed his arms and stared at me as I went back to trying to clean the food off my skirt. I rolled my eyes in frustration and threw away the tissue. I went into the stall and grabbed a bunch of tissues. Meanwhile, a girl came into the bathroom and saw Tyson.

"Hey", Tyson smiled. She turned around and walked out.

"Would you leave, please?", I said, irritated. I whined, as the food stain was obviously not disappearing.

"Here", Tyson said calmly as he took the tissue from my hand and bent down on one kneee.

"W-what are you doing?", I panicked.

"What does it look like?'. He gently grabbed the hem of my skirt and began rubbing the tissue softly against my skirt. After a brief silence, it had finally occurred to me that Tyson could probably see up my skirt.

"You had better not be looking up my skirt, Tyson Kinomiya!"

"Like as if I would be interested", he smirked one of his genuine smirks.

"And what's that suppose to mean?", I smiled and crossed my arms. He looked up at me and leered.

"Nothing". Another awkward silence and I realized that Tyson had actually cleaned off some of the food. I had to admit even though he had his own way, he really did want to help me. There was a little bit of the strain left at that point and it was coming off. Tyson, the genius, began to rub harder.

"Tyson, it's okay", I said but he wouldn't stop. Well he did stop, after he torn my skirt.

"Oh… ma bad". Like my skirt wasn't short enough. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.

"Now before you freak out…", Tyson said slowly.

"Arghhhh…..You idiot!"

"Sorry?".

I walked the hall with these baggy track pants that Emily usually worn to gym class. I was pissed at him but what could I do about it? He was Tyson after all, the most popular boy at our school-more loved than god himself.

"Hil come on. You're not still mad about that thing, are you?", I marched down the hallway, taking no notice of Mariah who followed closely behind me.

"Don't call me that!", I said through gritted teeth.

"Don't call you what? Hil?". I gave her a dirty look. "Okay, okay. I won't call you that, but seriously Hilary, can't you just let it go. I mean everyone's already talking about".

"So. Let them talk about it! What are they saying?", I waited for an answer. Mariah sighed.

"They think you and Tyson were doing more than just…cleaning up"

"What! Oh my goddd! How stupid can people be?"

"Well, what else are they suppose to think? I mean you guys haven't spoken in ages and now you two end up in a bathroom alone?"

"Mariah, that doesn't mean anything! I don't want to talk about him anymore, okay!".

"So now what are you going to do? Just go back to not talking to him anymore?'

"It made life a lot easier", I told her. "Look if I never see him again then that will be just fine by- Oww", I gasped as my head hit an open locker. If I hadn't have looked up to see Tyson and his friends passing us by in the hallway, I would have been paying attention to where I was going, instead of staring at him.

I put my hand on my pounding head, with my mouth agape. Mariah looked at me with concern as she repeatedly said, 'are you okay?'. I nodded my head slowly. I must have looked like I was going to puke. Tyson and my eyes locked as he walked past me with the rest of them. I groaned. At that point I just wanted this horrible day to end.

I didn't see him for the rest of the day and back then that's how I liked it. To never see Tyson again. But through out the months I realized that I couldn't go a day without seeing him.

A/N That was my second chapter. I know not much happened this chap but I promise next chapter I'll add more. So Plzzzzz review. Tell me if it's good, bad and what I need to improve on.
