Disclaimer:… is it really necessary to even have these? I mean its not like Mr Beyblades, himself, is going to come on to and post a story… give me a break! P.s. I don't own beyblades, just Odette, her parents and a couple of other OCs.
CHAPTER 2 – SHUT YOU PIE HOLEThe uniform was new, something that Odette was not accustom to wear everyday. After years and years of home schooling, her mother finally managed to persuade Dimetri to allow Odette to complete her final years of school at a private school with other students. She told him that it would boost her 'social skills'. She slipped the skirt up over her hips and fed her arms through the short sleeves of the white shirt. It may have been a private school, but the regulation of the length of the skirt was ridiculous, nothing longer then above the knee! 'Are they serious' though Odette. She slowly did the buttons up, and then sat on her bed as she pulled up her white, knee high socks. With a heavy sigh she rose from her bed and looked at herself in the full-length mirror that hung on the inside of her wardrobe. The navy blue and black pattern of the skirt wasn't that bad, she though. It actually suited her tanned complexion and the fitting showed of her slender, but shapely curves. With another heavy sigh she moved to her bathroom and washed her face and applied some lip-gloss and mascara. 'Now, now' Odette thought to herself as she applied the mascara, 'Can't look like a FREAK on your first day at school!' Pulling the brush from out of the draw she swept her hair up into a pony tail that made its way down the middle of her back and then fixed a navy blue ribbon in it. With satisfaction when she looked at herself in the mirror she smiled and walked down stairs with her new bag and new textbooks.
'Ah, Miss Odette, how are you this morning?' asked Jacinta, Odette's personal maid, as she handed her a glass of oranges juice.
'Yeah, not to bad Cinta, I little nervous I suppose, but I should be alright, after all Tala and Kai are going to be there!' I can't wait to see them, its been awhile, after all they haven't been to the recent business parties,' Odette replied as she drunk her orange juice rather quickly with a frown. Looking down at her watch she realized the time, 8:00! 'Oh no! I better get moving school starts in an hour and I don't want to be late!' with one last gulp she finished the orange juice and placed the glass in the sink. 'Wish me luck, Cinta,' Odette smiled as she hugged her only female friend and then made her way to the door where the chauffeur was waiting for her.
The school was huge. Odette knew very well that most private schools were large, but this was joke. All of the classroom buildings appeared to have a very old look, but yet prestigious look about them. The view that could be seen of the grounds was breath taking. There were many sport ovals with rich green grass, as well as small grassy areas that could be occupied by the students during lunch and recess. At the border of the grounds there was a thick forest. It appeared inviting when you first looked in the forest appeared warm and enticing; full of life, but the further that you looked the stronger an eerie sensation filled your body.
'We are here now, Miss Odette,' said that driver as he turned around look at Odette, who appeared to be thinking of something else.
'Oh,' was all she said in response. Her nerves were really starting to set in now. The driver came around and opened her door, offering her his hand; she gratefully took it, as at this point in time she was desperate for some support.
'Would you like me to take you to the office, Miss Odette?'
'No, no I'm quite alright Luca, I think that I will be alright.' She said with a grateful smile as she slung her bag over her shoulder. Luca simple nodded and returned to the driver's seat.
'Oh, I wish that I took Luca's offer to walk me to the office,' Odette thought as she made her way through the semi-deserted halls. She received weird looks from other students, as they all seemed to know that she was new, but none of them offered to help her. 'Don't I look absolutely lost?' All of the halls looked the same, but she finally managed to find a door that was labeled 'PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE'. She hesitantly opened the door and found a friendly looking woman typing on a computer.
'Ah, excuse me Miss,' Odette as extremely shyly. The lady at the computer looked up at her and smiled.
'Yes, you must be the new girl… Odette Nickolai, am I right?' she said with a sweet smile. Odette nodded her head. 'Here you must be wanting your timetable, school map and locker number and code.' She said as she passed a yellow envelope to Odette. 'If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask any of the students or staff, or simply just come back here! But in the envelope there should also be a slip that has your student buddies name on it, they have been assigned to you according to the subjects that you are doing. It will be their job to look after you for the first couple of weeks!' Odette smiled gratefully and left the office.
As soon as Odette left the office she opened the yellow envelope and pulled out her timetable so she knew where she was heading. In the first module she had form time, in room 296 which was located on the forth floor. The trek to the class room seemed to last forever, but once Odette reached the oak door, she kind of wished that it would have last forever.
The boy with slate blue hair looked to the front of the class, where the teacher seemed to be going off his nut about the new semester that was about to and how all of the students should start taking school seriously if they hadn't already as this was the last semester before they started their final year. Quite frankly, kai didn't care. He was already taking four advanced classes and would practically be finished school at the end of the semester, except for two more classes that he would have to complete next year. His best friend, Tala, was in the same boat. His thoughts were distracted when a piece of paper hit him in the head. He looked over to the red head sitting next to him, who was subtly indicating for him to open it.
Hey when is Odds, getting here? T-
Shit! Kai had completely forgotten that his oldest friend next to Tala was starting at their school this term. He had not seen her all holidays, but was so excited when he found out that she was coming, that he couldn't get her out of him head. It should be longer then just the holidays, for how long they haven't seen each other; Kai overheard a conversation between Voltaire and Dimetri saying that Odette was starting at the school. Kai looked over at Tala and shrugged. No sooner had he shrugged than they both snapped to attention when they heard a faint knocking on the door. The teacher also stopped talking and made his way to the door, to see who has permitted this disruption in his speech. Instantly Kai and Tala's eyes lit up when they saw who it was. She was finally here and they were in the same class! It was going to be just the three of them like old times, or at least they though.
FLASHBACK
Today her hair was worn half up half down, with a thin red ribbon threaded through the black hair elastic. The loose brown, tendrils framed her small back, settling just below her waist. Her lips were coated in a thin layer of gloss, her eyes simply dressed with some mascara. She wore a plain white dress that was decorated with a red rose. It was at the top, like a singlet and fell just below her knees in a straight cut. To complete her outfit she had white party shoes on. He smirked to himself; Kai knew how much she hated wearing those shoes…
END OF FLASHBACK
Kai POV
Oh my God! Is that Odette? I'm going to sound like a complete dork, but she looks like an angel standing there… the look of confusion always suited her cute face… hold on a minute, what the hell am I talking about cute, she's my best friend for god sake… Geez never noticed how nice her legs were… ARGH she's almost like a sister you moron! Damn hormones… but why does my best friend have to be… HOT!... Mental note, kill myself!
Normal POV
'You must be the new student,' the teacher said gruffly as he snatched the note out of Odette's hand. 'Ah yeah, that's right Miss Nickolai, your father's that executive for that corporation.' Odette looked down at her feet and nodded. She felt so embarrassed… she hated being the centre of attention and right now all of the students in her new home class had their eyes fixated on her. All of a sudden she hear a wolf whistle come from one of the boys and immediately a deep red colour filled her cheeks. She had been too embarrassed to even notice that Kai and Tala were in the room staring at her.
At the sound of the whistle, both Kai and Tala's ears pricked up and turned around to glare daggers at the culprit. The boy then realized that this girl was off limits. So did all of the other boys in the class.
'Well don't just look at your shoes girl, tell the class about yourself and speak up for gods sake.' Odette was utterly shocked at the limit of this guy's manners, and he was a teacher at this school? You have got to be joking!
'W-w-well my name is Odette Nickolai. I am an only child and live with my mother and father. I just turned 16 and have two Dobermans called Spazzy and Harpy. I have lived in Russia all of my life, but stayed for a year or so in London, so I am fluent in English. Umm, oh I have also been home schooled all my life.' At this some of the other students gasped. But while they were gasping Odette finally figured out that Kai and Tala had been sitting in the second to back row smiling at her the whole time. Mentally she slapped her self for taking so long to acknowledged them, but then without thinking she squealed and ran to the back of the classroom, to some of the students and teacher's surprise.
'Kai! Tala!' she literally screamed as she embraced them both. Both boys blushed slightly embarrassed, but soon returned the embrace much to the shock of everyone else in the class.
'I can't believe that you guys didn't say anything the whole time that I was at the front!' Odette cried as the three of them made their way to the lockers. 'And you guys want me to like this school? You could have at least made things a bit easier for me!'
'Well Odds, what can we say?' piped up Tala who was stuffing his folders messily into his locker (coincidently their lockers are next to each other! P) 'how were we suppose to know that you were going to be in our class? Hmmm?'
'You've got a point Valkov.' Replied Odette was playful pouting expression on her face.
'Now to lunch we go!'
'Is that all you ever think about Tally?' Tala looked around sheepishly and nodded his head. Pulling a brown paper bag out of her locker, she then looped her arms in between the two boys.
'Ahhh haha! You brought a home pack lunch, as if you could be bothe--. OWWW! What was that for?' Tala cried as he rubbed his head. Odette just laughed and Kai smirked.
'Now you guys have to introduce me to your school friends!'
'Hey Odds look over there! It's a flying fish -- OWWW!'
'Nice try Tala but there is no way in hell you are going to steal any of my delicious, home prepared lunch, which you so carelessly mocked less then 10 minutes ago!' the rest of the group silently giggled to themselves, at the hurt look that appeared on Tala's face.
'But Oyte (pet-name) you can't expect me to be sustained on this rubbish, it will cause me health to suffer, not to mention rot my beautiful teeth.' He said as he bent down on the floor in front of here and pretended to beg. Giggling, Odette through a couple of chips, which he swooped on like a seagull.
Lunch was an event that Odette could get use to, not to mention that she was the only girl in the group! It was nice to watch the other students fool around and idly chat about weekend events. For most of the morning and now during lunch, Odette couldn't help, but feel that people were continuously watching her. Okay, so she was new, but this was getting ridiculous. What made her so different? Then it clicked. How could she have been so stupid? Now, in a sisterly way, she could tell that Kai and Tala were fairly good looking, not to mention the other guys that she sat with during lunch. The rest of the female population was staring dreamily at them, and now it seemed apparent that they were staring daggers at her! Great they are all probably wondering how she managed to score a seat with these hotties on her first day at school! Haha this is way cool!
'Hey Kai, Tala are you gonna bother introducing who this beautiful creature is? Since it is obvious that she is neither of your girlfriend… she's way to classy!' Odette buried her face in her hands as she turned a light shade of crimson.
Odette POV
Okay so maybe sitting with all guys wasn't such a good idea… WHAT! Tala and Kai have girlfriends? That's the first I have heard of them… those cheeky buggers… they have a lot of explaining to do!
'Shut you pie hole Miguel… where getting to it,' replied Tala was a mouth fool of chips, as he so strategically placed himself next to Odette's bucket of chips. 'Odette, this is Miguel, Johnny, Enrique, Ray, Brooklyn and Bryan.' He said as he pointed to each of the boys respectively. She shyly smiled at waves at each of them, which some smiled in response, while others… namely Bryan… responded with a nod of the head.
'But that doesn't explain how you know her. And its not like we have seen her at any parties!' chimed in Brooklyn, who flashed her a deadly smile.
'If you knew what was good for you Brooklyn, you would treat her like an object unless you wanted to find pieces of you missing,' Kai said with his eyes closed and his back leaning against a tree. For some reason why Odette knew that Kai was paying attention to what was going on she always found an extra spark of confidence.
'Its alright Kai, he's just teasing.' She said as she playfully hit in the shoulder. 'Answering your questions, Tala, Kai and I have known each other since I was four and they were five… so what's that… t-twelve years now. We first met because our father's work together. And the reason why you have probably never seen me is because I have been home schooled and my father isn't very impressed with some of the stories that he has heard about these wild parties, and doesn't even trust Tala and Kai enough to let me go, and that is saying a lot!' she said as she clipped the back of Tala's head with her hand, as he tried to steal half of her sandwich.
'So I take it that, that means that you don't have a boyfriend?' ask Johnny.
'Don't even ask, Johnny,' Tala spoke menacingly, while he massaging the back of his head. And with that the bell went, indicating that lessons were about to commence in 5 minutes. Immediately all of the guys jumped up and offered to help Odette up, who brushed them of as she picked up her rubbish. She walked up to the bin, and then ran over to fall into stride with Johnny, while Kai and Tala walked closely behind her, but not close enough to hear what she was saying.
'To answer you question more directly, Johnny, no I don't have a boyfriend,' Odette said with a friendly smile. 'And don't mind them,' pointing to Kai and Tala. 'They have both resumed the over protective brother role, but what can you tell me about their girlfriends?'
'Well that depends on whether you are going to come with us to our local hang out on Friday night and promise me a dance?' Odette raised her eyebrow in amusement and replied,
'I do not have a problem with that, but you just have to get past them.' Gesturing to the boys who were not to far behind…
What did you think of the second chapter? Feedback is always nice for an author so we can include what you, the reader, wants! Also I need some girlfriends for Tala and Kai, so if you could send me an OC that would be great… just include name, age, height (don't have to give me the actually height just small or something), eye colour, hair colour, what clothes they wear and a really brief description of them! Thanks and please review!
