Chapter 11: Beautiful Contemplation

"This stupid chemistry can never get better!" Tyson yelled in the silent dojo killed by quietude as he scribbled lazily on his white sheets of notebook and a textbook that lay open on his study table.

I just wonder how Hilary does it, this is just so hard! Actually very hard! I don't feel at all like doing. HEHE! So why am I doing it? She-is actually a big genius likes Kenny though she can't blade that makes less difference. Wait….NO! That makes a big deal difference, she cannot blade means she cannot defense herself just like other bladers do. So what? I'm there alright? To protect her.

He kept his pencil above his lip and leaned back on his chair and placed his hands back to his head as he thought about her. I just can't remember when did I fall for her, we knew each other since always but that was like she called me snorty, pig headed, arrogant boy and rubbish blader and I though her as a the great witch of the 8th grade and we usually fought for the silliest things ever and the little noses collided as the battle intensified, Oh yeah! That is also kinda battle but I wasn't the champ yet HEHEHEHE!

The pencil fell and he backed off his initial position and he sat straight and blinked constantly as if remembering something.

It was those little moments….yes, when I helped her rescuing from those black men of Pykicks. There are much more things if I pounder better, I think I need a break from this silly chem. Thing. He rose up from his chair and headed to balcony placing his right elbow on the parapet wall and his face that landed right in that hand, preparing for the contemplating thoughts that would overtake is mind very soon. His left hand landed in his pocket and tickled him itself.

When I finally moved my mind out of that Chem thing so I think I really gotta figure that however in this world that me, the world champ, Tyson Granger fell for her…It is kind of perhaps a long story, she pretty had grown up from the past two years, I remember she didn't have long hair like me that she got the last year, she simply tied at her low back neck like me. Well, we are just kinda stopped fighting and arguing about the silliest things from the many past months, sorta calm air then, but then it freaks like anything, but wait darling, I just see right through you, that ruby eyes that glimmers in diffident shy feelings, kinda holds me my eyes be fixated in her forever. What a magic! The beauty that never fades away from when these damn feelings grew stronger just like the stabs in heart when we are together, guess she never knew, but I can see right through them. I just see life becoming more beautiful when we are together, yeah, BEAUTIFUL! more than blading! It doesn't matter who come b/w us, I am always ready to face whatever the bullshit freaking us and be with her, forever Hmm, and I think I really got away from why or even did I fell for her, but whatever. Just, it's all so good. As a friend, she was always with me, helped us in blading, no matter she don't know how to insert even a ripcord.

He could see the leaves rustling softly in the smooth tranquil breeze that already cleared the cloudy sky and was bringing new light. He looked at the sky and gave a hearted smile, short and sweet! He looked just cute and sweet!

It was just her, Daichi and Kenny that were with me when everyone left me. Daichi was perhaps with me cause he wanna be my partner or else it was me myself who partnered him when Kai left me, Kenny was just faithful, the little genius, and for her, she could have gone with anyone of them, Yeah! She could have accompanied Kai even, but she just sticked with us, that was the perfect loyalty and….I wonder why I noticed the blast fact so late!

He gently passed his fingers through his hair, with that captivating smirky grin, with slightly closed eyes. He walked inside his room and saw the chemistry pages flapping all over each other. He closed his books and placed carefully in his desk and when they couldn't be fixed in them, he lazily inserted them in his bag pack and thumped it on the floor beside his bed and sat on the bed thinking what should be done now…?

"I don't think we couldn't call anything call 'practice' here" the captain mocked Hilary who was deep in her world.

"Hmm,"

"Yeah Kai, but you see there much more than it's already!"

Hilary placed her chin in her hand with that elbow on her knee that she hugged closer with the other hand, thus sitting in an awkward position, while Kai snorted often- reminding her to be in the present state- that kinda freaked her often the way that how she actually ended up sitting next to him anyway, but that would be already rude if she walked away, so she simply chose to ignore all his important or unimportant remarks, though strangely she felt it rude and wrong, but that was all that done.

"And what are your future plans?"

"Not much Mariah, I just see life gettin' beautiful Hehe. Weird, aint it?"

"Why not? Life has to do more than blading, right?"

"Yup!"

"But for Tyson, he won't have this perception, he just love blading more than anything! I think he is the only one who can't love anything or anyone more than blading!" she smiled as she said appreciating the true passion of the blader. Ray smiled in refusal to her sentence and passed his long fingers in her hot pink hair of Mariah tinkling them.

"Huh? What?"

"Nothing. It's not true anymore and yeah there's someone who he loves more than blading." he gave slight grin.

"Is t-that true?"

He nodded and rose up from he was sitting leaving his friend perplexed. She looked at him seeking for an answer, but he simply walked to his teammate and stood looking at him.

"Yeah Ray, What's up?"

"Nothing much Kenny, I think we should go to ice-cream parlor to eat something, aren't you hungry?" he suggested cheerful

"Hmm,…Maybe…HUH? NO! We aren't going anywhere!" Kenny changed his words all a sudden, a bit louder...staring at Ray in refusal. At this point, the two people around simply looked at each other in some sort of confusion.

"But, why not?"

"Hey we haven't practiced anything today, it's just like a picnic spot, everyone sitting and chatting wherever and with whomever they like and you were just busy with Mariah, and all others are just much self-centered about their own business!"

"Relax chief! Relax, we sure gonna win any tournament! HEHE!" she scratched his head as he laughed sheepishly. Hilary looked at him in smirk while Kai gave a surprising sad smile that turned into a evil grin…Ray moved back looking at their expressions, and scratched his head gently giving the most foolish expressions.

"I think we should return Dojo or Hilary you should try to get here him" he said looking at the sky with his mouth short oval stuck in some world. Seeing the immediate smile on her face, he smirked and had her this time. When she noticed it was a trap, she changed her face; she found Kai looking at her in smirk. Both the guys kinda freakin' a girl younger than them giving the periodic blushes and the heart beats, moving the breeze cooler.

Oh this aint getting any better, I wonder how they read me! It never happens with me, why can't I visualize what deep in them. It's not even possible to read Tyson. It kinda freaks me and this whole thing of blushes and their smirky grins kills me, hey! Keep Calm Hilary, Just Ignore them! No I can't! AHH!

"What happened, Hilary?" Ray interrupted her state.

"No, it's nothing, I just think we should be moving where you wanted." she said with stern looks sighing in defeat.

"Hm, that's alright!"

"Well, guys if that's all what you want, it's okay, fine, let's go!" Kenny agreed.

Ray headed back to Mariah where the pink haired beyblader was looking at her blade in smile and the solace that her bit beast was supposed to give her. The grass fluttered in unidirectional way where she sat just like it happens at any such fantasies.

"Mariah!" She turned at him hearing her name and saw her friend up to something,

"Wanna eat Ice-cream?" he smiled. She nodded proudly and got up and got ready along the others for where they will be heading. After a few minutes where it took time to stop all the passionate bladders from stop damping the dish and convincing them to run over all the cold ice-cream in the cold breeze, that they thought was the less appealing idea, and wanted some Japanese special, but it wasn't was a not affordable expense but the idea of ice-cream was in their heads. Maybe the childish fun they retained. But since Gary licked much often at anything for food and Salima was getting frustrated at all the romance around and Kane immensely trying to calm her friend, he just got to the idea…The others just nodded. They all left that spot much quicker and the last people left there were Hilary and Kenny who sat for different purpose but when Max called them in a bit annoyed tone, they felt the urge to leave…Hilary was least bothered, she just got up, pulled her hair band slide past through her shiny brunette hair with her Index finger and tucked the thing into the denims pocket and let the hairs flutter with magnificent captivation she was unsure of. It kinda relived her frustrating head and to be precise, her hair had grown over the past year. Isn't that obvious in the g-rev season, she tied it just like the champ, right?

The Trees that whisper in the evening

Were carried away by the MOONLIGHT SHADOW..

The little walk was full of agog, she was rare with this many people. She happened to walk past her former captain who had blushed when she brushed her arm against his and merely presumed to be it Max or Ray, when she felt the well muscular arms that seemed to be touched at a point, she realized it and neglected the unsuited cast time and paced faster till she realized that were plenty of people who stared at her more often. She pondered about it that was it. Did there was something embarrassing? Was she looking what? It wasn't late when Kane approached her and uttered the words she lately analyzed.

"If Tyson was here, he would have been mad at you." he commented softly and formally and backed off.

Firstly, she was utterly confused and was worried that if the things had become so transparent and then she was thinking what he wanted to say actually and why would he be at her, for what? And it made less sense the word, 'mad', what that that exactly implied? Just then Salima passed by and passed unsure finger through her softly laid hairs on her right shoulder and gave a genuine smile that she made, that was hard, since everything was getting much complicated in her perceptions. Then she did she understood what it was, it were her hairs that fluttered now, not softly but wilder and she quickly tied them seeing that it wasn't getting any better but all the bullshit that freaked her.

As she did, she pouted and when sighed.. I really think about it…Would he be really mad at me the way Kane said. Yeah maybe! I will never leave them open then. But what if I did, would he be closer like before, would that all the moments be there then…Why am I thinking that way, I suppose not to be dwelling in any sort of crush this younger and not with the popular champ, heh, never baby! Stop it. And…I don't want the beautiful building friendship between us to strain and get worse. Yeah I accept that I sorta like him, okay, VERY MUCH! But it confined to friendship, not more than that. I really hope. I really hope…but….I do want it to be more than that…much more than that. She closed her eyes, locking her hands in pocket and the head being lowered. But I don't want to feel this way right at this point of time, but all the solace, understanding, help and at the critical point of my life had developed all what I don't know, but just let the things flow as they are. I happen to freak at our contacts, especially, at his yearn appeals, but frankly I never want the time to cease at that point then, no matter how much I regret later for allowing, or I feel whatever. So let the things go as they are though I'm not sure of any new feelings I sorta developing…But it's just we are safe from the other eyes…I have to be careful from next time and next time if Kai dares to smirk me the way, I will punch him right in his head. But just relax…everything is at least alright perhaps, at least after, what happened yesterday, the confession thing, he doesn't seem to be mad at me; perhaps it's Tyson, the reason. The sense of being secure, relish, longing, confiding, happiness, the thought about relations, and much more- all starts from him and end to him. The only thing I'm happy about is that life is not pacing hitting the rocks, and I'm living in the way I want, away from any restrictions, that were least there, if were, and out of my home. I will never regret my decision. She mentally yelled the last part strongly.
