At the beginning I slowly walked out of the room, once I actually got out I ran to my room, breathing heavily. Why was he here!! Why?! I couldn't sleep that day, I even couldn't go out for a walk. My dad always said "never walk out alone after midnight when you're in Russia" and I listened. I just stared at the dawn. I had ideas after idea popping in my brain. How to kill Kai? How to murder him without the fingers pointing towards me? Should I poison him or choke him to death? But I am no murderer. I would never murder a person. but I wanted to kill him, I don't why but I had the urge. It was finally safe to go for a walk, and so I went I walked all around the areas close to the hotel. Walking helped me clear my mind; it was a habit of mine to walk every time I would have a problem. Instinct told me that by now the freaks would have been awake. I entered the hotel and yup they were awake. They gathered around a table having breakfast, the loud mouthed one was definitely the pig between them. Blondie just had some fruit salad, Denny was having cereal, the pig was having…I don't really know…sort of everything…Daichi was just as bad as the pig…there was an empty seat but Kai was sitting next to it…I would never, NEVER sit next to that monster!
Kai noticed me, then he turned and whispered something in Rey's ear who was sitting next to him and then they switched places. So he got the message. I went and sat in that empty seat after they had moved. Once again the apple successes at grabbing my attention, but this time I had a glass of milk as well. Long live Alex! As I was happily enjoying my apple I noticed that the freaks weren't eating, instead their eyes were fixed on one person. I turned around to see a business woman holding a lot files and notebooks in her hand. At the beginning I didn't get what was so great about a business woman with files, her likes were all around the hotel…but then I realized I was staring at….
She waved at us then slowly approached us. My heart was pumping so fast I couldn't believe it was her! It was actually HER! The most important woman in the world of beyblade!!!! HOLLY COW SHE WAS MOVING CLOSER TO US BY THE SECOND!!!! They did not seem as surprised as I am. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ECXITED ABOUT MEETING SHARON LEOPARD??
Sharon Leopard was the head person at designing and improving beyblades. She designed some of the major beyblades in the world, including Tyson's Dragoon. None of her works were failures; her work was the closest to idealness. I always wanted her to improve Wolfspear! She was one of the few…actually the only one but me who I felt comfortable when she would open and detach my beyblade.
She stepped and I was paralyzed, "Hello Bldebreakers" She began talking.
"Of course you remember me, I'm Sharon Leopard" She paused and glanced at me.
"I see you have two new members in your team….May I know your names please?" Before I could speak Daichi quickly interrupted me.
"Daichi's the name and I'm the best beyblade player the world has seen!!!!" Smooth Daich…Smooth…she quickly scribbled his name on one of her notebooks and then turned to me
"What's your name darling?" She spoke with her posh British accent.
I stammered and trebled on words "Alexandra Von Herrmann "
She repeated the same action then looked up and gave me wink, I could feel myself blush. It was an embarrassing moment. She stood up straight.
"Alright Bladebreakers you have the 5th"
The Bladebreakers all gave a nod, Daichi and I have no idea what was going on.
"Good luck in the tournament" She said in a happy tone then left.
I was trying to understand what was going on. Daichi quickly asked the pig about what just happened.
"It means we have the 5th practice room to practice on" the loud mouthed freak explained. "There Kenny could take the notes and give us ways to improve the way we play, he would even come up with strategies to help us win on the other teams. In the practice room we can check your skills Alex"
"It's Alexandra" I said annoyed
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" he said waving his hands in the air.
I didn't feel like fighting him, not today at least. We were told to pack because we were moving to that practice room. The freaks used the slang "joint" every time they wanted to talk about it, I referred to it as heaven itself. I packed quickly and threw my bags at the end of the bus and sat next to the window, thinking about that heaven. I couldn't wait to get there; it was like a dream come true! For a person like me who had battled on the street their whole life, the idea of training in an actual professional training area was something we only dreamed of. I was listing the whole time to what the freaks where talking about, complains…. Kenny was already trying to find a strategy for another great victory, and they all listed to him carefully, either agreeing or refusing a certain strategy. They lost the feeling of blading….it was not about winning nor about strategies…it was about enjoying yourself while you play.
Rey came to sit next to me.
"Hi Alexandra" He said with a happy tone.
"Hello Rey, how are you?"
"I'm fine thank you, and you?"
This conversation was toooooo formal for me.
"Nothen' just chillen'" I tried to sound less formal
He let out a soft laugh then coughed which made him laugh harder, I tagged along laughing.
He thought a little, organizing his thoughts I guess…"In the tournament there are very strong teams with unique beyblades. Many of the teams….cheat"
"Cheat?!" I asked shocked "How can they cheat in a tournament with all these people watch"
Rey interrupted "they have they're ways"
I understood right away.
"I can't wait to get to the practice room" I tried to change the subject, but he didn't hear me he was too deep in thought. I decided to just let him be.
"Alexandra" he finally began talking. "you are an American right?"
I nodded.
"But the boys told me you have a German passport"
I couldn't help but to smile, everyone asks me that.
"Rey…from do you come from?"
"China" he answered my question, I nodded back.
"So if I give you a German passport..Would you feel German?"
"Not really" He admitted.
"I was raised in the States for as long as I remember, but I still have my German side" I smiled after saying that, I felt like a proud German saying that.
"May I ask another question?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Do all Germans drink beer?"
I couldn't help but laugh at that one. "My dad never drank in his life, my uncle drinks but hates beer, he prefers wine. It's a myth, not all Germans drink beer"
"Glad you cleared up that thought" we both started to laugh.
He was a great person to be around.
