She's The Man
Chapter 1: She's The Girl
It was the last weekend of their summer vacation another school year dead ahead. Over the summer, several romances blossomed: Ray was with Mariah, Max with Mariam; Kenny was a solitary dude drooling over Ming-Ming, and the well-known, champion: Tyson had Hilary. Oh, what a surprise…not. Supposedly, these two were written in the stars. They were destined to be…blah. Somehow their stars were connected and yet their brains, strangely, were not. Since this was a couple with the description of: Jerk, Loudmouth meets Loudmouth, (bossy witch)…there were the jealous type of people.
There was only one person left.
He had never guessed that he was the one to be so green! He had everything! He could score any girl he wanted! He had millions to choose from! AND HE'S SINGLE! Still haven't gotten who this person was? Oh, it's just Kai Hiwatari. The least teen expected to be very green with envy.
Kai was never the type to be jealous. What was he jealous of that made even his crimson orbs turn green?
A month before summer begun, he noticed and ignored the two lovebirds. And now, they're dating! GASP! Has the world gone mad? A vein throbbed on his temple imagining both Tyson and Hilary. Then a thought flashed in his mind where he should have banged his head against the wall long ago.
Simply thinking about it, made his blood run hot inside his head, hell about to break lose. And his sanity sat quietly on the edge of his fingertips…since he was covetous, rather too extremely.
One day, he plainly punched Tyson on the head and nudged him on the gut whenever Tyson mentioned something really idiotic, which was often (for it was his chance to take his anger out.) Beybattles with Tyson grew intense day after day, and their arguments were so personal…they led to fist fights and having poor Hilary call on both of them. He and Hilary were friends and had the worst of arguments. Mainly quarrelling on the stupidest things…like Tyson for instance…
Perhaps it would all change…
"Oh thanks Ty!" Hilary embraced Tyson, receiving her first beyblade.
Kai groaned, growing exasperated.
…or not…The last day of summer vacation happened to be Hilary's birthday and everyone got the lovely brunette a present. Yeah, even Kai did. The group was all scattered in the large empty room. Ray sat near the window where he could see the sunset while Max sat at the door—to get first dibs on the sweets.
Keh, I could've given a much better beyblade if I had the chance, he sourly glared at both of them from a lonely corner. It looked as if each person in the team ended up in the same shop where they all got her beyblading gear. He felt a bit out of place, especially when that git (Tyson) got her a beyblade. A beyblade as a gift, talk about unoriginal and not to mention impassionate! He had more willingly not to have said a smart comment ot it would lead to another argument…no. Not on Hilary's birthday! Maybe tomorrow, the overly paranoid Russian smirked.
"No problem, Hils," he scratched the back of his neck.
"Try it out," Max chirped, munching on some candy. "He spent the whole week building it." The blonde was covered in sugar and chocolate crumbs. If his mother could see him now.
What kind of parts was he using? Rubber? I could assemble that thing in five minutes, he grunted at the thought.
"Alright," Hilary looked really determined as she placed the beyblade on her sad excuse for a professional launcher (courtesy of once again, Tyson).
"I'll battle you," Daichi offered, getting ready to fire his Strata-Dragoon. Excited to see, Kai hopped on his feet and approached the beystadium that was laid out in the middle of the room. He stood behind Daichi as he secretly cheered on for Hilary.
"Don't be light on me," Hilary smirked.
"Don't worry, I won't be."
With that reply, Kai said bluntly, "Let me give you a pat on the back for good luck." Then the sound of a dull clout of his heavy hand was heard, hitting against the red haired boy's back.
"OUCH! Damn it! That hurt!" Daichi yelped painfully.
"Hn, serves you right," Kai muttered mockingly at Daichi. He crossed his arms and leaned to the Daichi with dangerous plum coloured eyes fixed into a death glare. "You beat her and you're dead, hear me pipsqueak?" he snarled.
Hilary giggled, growing giddy of the bishounen.
"3…" Everyone in the room except Kai, Hilary and Daichi cried.
"2…" Hilary clutched on harder to the ripcord.
"1! …LET IT RIP!" they cheered.
"Hi-yah!" Hilary cried, putting the rip cord as hard as he could.
"GO HILARY!" Tyson rooted for his girlfriend.
Whohoo! Kai thought sarcastically.
The blade was launched but missed the bowl and never spun but dropped on the ground like a boulder. Maybe the ripcord was defective or the beyblade itself didn't know how to spin. Just then, a part fell from the defective launcher. So he was right after all…
"I…missed," she said, lowering her gaze. Hilary looked so unhappy. Assistant Manager of the G-Revolution Team and she couldn't even launch an ordinary beyblade properly. What a shame she had brought to the team. Everyone, even Kenny, could spin a blade.
"We can see that," Tyson said, surprised of how untalented Hilary really was. The others snickered a little here and there and said a few words of sympathy to brighten the brunette up. All except one member:
'Hm,' he thought as he placed a hand over his mouth, hiding his smile. His bangs shadowed over his eyes, hiding their joyous glint. The others were speechless but he just made his way out of the dojo, shuddering as he held in his laughter from everyone. He felt as if he'd die of laughter at the moment. Staggering out of the door, he closed it shut with a swift pull and silence came back into the room.
"Kai!" yelled the brunette, walking after the slate-haired teen. She left the beyblade in its place, the floor where it really belonged!
After a few moments, the others blinked out of trance. The redhead was extremely excited and chirped, "I'll beybattle you, Tyson!"
"No, wait," he tried to pull himself up. Let me check on her.
"You're backing away from my challenge?" he glared at Tyson.
"No, it's not that."
"You aren't too CHICKEN now, Tyson, right?" Daichi pressed, slapping his butt, mocking the hell out of Tyson.
His anger now elevated to its limits and gritted his teeth. Cringing, Tyson yelled, "That's it! You've got yourself a challenge, monkey-boy!"
"Kai? Why did you leave out there? Is there something wrong-?" Hilary asked. Suddenly she heard him chuckle. "Huh?" she had a frank questioned look in her eyes.
"…You looked…so serious…out…there" he said through the bubbles of laughter. It was a soft kind of sincere laugh that made any girl swoon and any heart melt.
"Oh…" naïve, Hilary was so full of it.
"I'm sorry…" trying to regain his self-control, "I've never laughed like this, not even in front of my own team."
I feel rather special then, she smiled at the idea.
"Here, for you," there in front of her was a small white pouch, nestled in his palm. Tenderly, she took it in her hands and stared in awe.
A minute passed and she was still gawking at it. The box ain't that pretty.
Another minute came. God, the silence was killing him!
OPEN IT! GODDAMN IT, OPEN THE DAMN PRESENT!
Her heart raced as she examined the box. What was inside, she didn't know. Right she didn't care. Kai had just given her a present far different from the others. Hilary had told everyone she had wanted to beyblade one day and everyone knew. Except Kai. At that time, Kai wasn't present to see when she had perfectly done his launching technique. He would've been so impressed.
"…You have to open it," Kai cut the silence, quirking an eyebrow in annoyance. He finally regained his sanity after a few moments.
Damn it… "I KNOW THAT!" she fumed. "I was savouring the moment here!"
Me too, he smirked smugly. Her coyness made her look adorable sometimes. He was not a bit freaked or terrified by her death glares and threats. Instead, he laughed at them.
Slowly she opened the pouch, revealing a ribbon with a moon pendant. "Wow…" she appeared like a little girl by the way she eyed it. "Pretty."
"Here," he seized the necklace and attempted to tie it around her neck. He stood uneasily in front of her and slipped the necklace around her neck. Now the two ends met.
"I can't tie it," he suddenly said. But really, he was lying.
"Alright," she responded, walking in closer to her. In that second, her cheeks heated up as she breathed in. She felt his hands move some hair away from her neck and held in a stifled squeal.
"…W-whhy are touching my hair like that?" she stuttered.
"I'm trying to do something here, stay still." He really didn't want to let her go but she'll just push him away…soon. Quickly, he made a tight knot, "Is that too tight?" he asked.
"Ehh…it's fine," she replied, laughing timidly. Did he just give me a hug?
"So, do you like it?" he asked in his usual dull, gruff voice.
"Yes, I do. Thank you so much!" she chirped feeling the silver moon with her delicate fingers. Then frowned at the idea of being caught hugging Kai…I wish I could… Cautiously, she glanced around and leaned to his face and gave a quick peck on his cheek. "Thanks, really. It was an awesome gift."
There, she trotted off, leaving him…bewildered and crimson…no longer green.
A birthday cake was laid out in the table and the whole team crowded around with party hats on their heads; even Kai had one on, just this once. Never again. Giddy, Hilary took a picture to keep a memoir and nearly squealed of how handsome he looked. The lucky girl will be fortunate to have him.
"Make your wish!" Tyson yelled after they had sung the birthday song. More like croaked, coming from Tyson.
"Happy 15th Birthday, Hilary!" Kenny cheered.
Hilary held in her breath, I'm fortunate to have cute, handsome and dangerous friends…if it could be possible…I wish to find true love! There the thirteen candles went off with a long, huge blow. Two candles stayed lit and burning. Quirking an eyebrow, Hilary stared at her cake in disappointment of her wasted wish. Oh well, it was worth the try.
"Oh, you have two boyfriends Hilary!" Max pointed at the two candles. Everyone glared at the blonde and between all of them, Tyson broke the ice, "How do you know that?"
"Mariam," Max replied, swallowing the lump in his throat.
Hilary sweat dropped and tried blowing both…but there was one left. "Ehh?" she babbled, confused. How…
"Do you need a puffer?" Ray joked, pulling the lovely pink cake closer to her. Hilary embarrassed, smiled and a hot tinge of pink burned in her cheeks. She needed to blow a little harder. Suddenly, goose bumps drove under her skin as Max spoke,
"Hilary, you cheater! You have two boyfriends and you'll have to choose between them!"
I get to do that? Do I? she was thinking.
"Make sure you choose the right one," Ray urged, playing along with Max.
"SHUT UP MAX AND RAY AND BLOW HARDER HILARY!" huffed the infuriated Tyson. Kai couldn't help but smirk. Ray noticed and smiled slyly, shaking his head. Clueless, Daichi peered closer to Hilary who was confused as he.
"Fine!" she grunted. Finally, all the candles were out and everyone cheered. In relief, she heaved a long heavy sigh.
My wish is to find true love. And get rid of all this doubt.
That is all for now. Please read and review of how you thought it was. I've edited this chapter but please point out the mistakes I make!
