Chapter 2
italics are flashbacks
"Huh?" The young blonde opens her chestnut eyes. "Where am I?" She asks looking around the room.
"Good morning, Miss Yai."
"Glide, what happened?"
"You fainted last night while your father was..."
"You're right." Yai sits up on her pink-sheet Queen-sized bed. "I dreamt that my father was telling me about my true inheritance to Ayano Tech. And get this, Glide. I dreamt that father told me I was engaged to that snob, Chaud from Blaze Quest. I'm relieved it was only a dream." She softly giggles.
"Miss Yai, but you are engaged to Chaud."
"What?" Yai asks as she stops laughing. She looks at her pet, Glide who nods his head. Yai gasps. She could feel the burning in her cheeks as they turned a little rosy. "It can't be." A blushing Yai falls back onto her bed. Hitting her head on her feather pillow. "It's not fair. I hate him." Yai turns over on her side.
"Miss Yai,"
"Glide, just leave me alone." The blonde said getting up off her bed. Walking towards her window. She opens the pink blinds and opens her window breathing in the fresh breeze that was touching her burning cheeks. The blonde thinks to herself as she stares down at the nicely groomed ground.
Chaud's busy typing a new program. He starts to recall the day his father told him of his engagement to the young Ayano girl.
"Son, now that you're in the sixth grade. Now you need to know your true inheritance of Blaze Quest." His father starts.
"My true inheritance?"
"Yes. And I think it's in your best interest to know that you are engaged to the heir of the game company, Ayano Tech. Her name is Yai."
Chaud's eyes shot open. "Ayano, Yai." He repeats.
His father nods. "It's up to you to take care of your fiancée's business as well as our own business, Blaze Quest. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, father."
"Chaud... Chaud..."
"Huh?" Chaud said getting out of his flashback of his father and his conversation. The white/black haired young man looks down at his pet, Protoman. "What is it, Protoman?"
"Chaud, is it ready?"
"Almost." Chaud resumes typing on his laptop. "There." He turns to his pet. "Let's check out how this new program works."
"All right."
This is terrible. Yai thinks in her head while sitting in her yellow limo. What am I going to do if the whole school finds out I'm engaged to the stuck-up jerk, Chaud? I'll be ruined. No even worst then that. I'll have to change schools, move out of...
"Miss Yai." Glide interrupts her thoughts.
Yai growls. "What is it, Glide?"
"We're arriving at your school."
"Great." Yai jumps out of her limo. She looks at her pet. "Now, Glide. Not a word to the others about me being engaged to what's his name. Okay?"
"Chaud?"
"Glide." Yai yells.
While in the lunchroom. The students are sitting around the table watching the news. Yai walks in noticing the students all watching the television. She sees her friends sitting on the couch chairs.
"Hey guys." Yai greets with a smile.
"Hey, Yai." Greets the group. Meylu had her arms wrapped around her boyfriend, Lan's arm, while Dex and Tori sat next to each other on the sofa.
"So, um..." Yai pauses as she opens her strawberry milkshake.
"Roberta is going to tell us about..." Lan trails off.
"Shush, Lan." Melyu playfully tugged at his arm. "It's starting."
"Hello, this is your reporter, Roberta speaking. In today's news the heirs of Blaze Quest and Ayano Tech are..."
Yai spits out her strawberry milkshake. Oh no. This cannot be happening to me.
The warning bell rings.
Thank goodness. Saved by the bell. Yai felt sweat running down her face.
"I wonder what's going on between the heirs of Blaze Quest and Ayano Tech?" a young pink-haired girl wonders talking to her group of friends as they leave the lunchroom.
"Yai, isn't that yours and Chaud's company?" Tori asked.
"It's nothing too much." Yai replies with a cheap smile. "It's just that we're planning on putting on a tournament."
"A tournament?" Lan asks. "Then count Mega Man and me in."
Yai's at her locker and bangs her head on the door. "Idiot. Idiot." She murmurs. "Why did I have to go and lie about that?" Yai lifts her head. "It's all because I don't want to lose my status, if people found out about my engagement. I would be the laughing stock."
Footsteps approached her. "Yai."
The blonde turns around and meets the cold-cerulean eyes. "Chaud, what do you want?" Yai looks away from him and pretends to resume herself in gathering her books from her locker.
"Why are you denying your inheritance, Yai?" Chaud asks. Yai ignores him. Chaud walks up to her locker and slams the locker shut having his hand on her locker door. "Why are you denying your inheritance, Yai?"
"Just leave me alone, Chaud. You wouldn't understand how I feel." Yai pushes his hand off her locker door and re-opens it.
Chaud places his hand on her locker door, closing it again. Yai's chestnut eyes burn with flames as she met up with the temptation of his cerulean eyes. "Careful, Yai. You'll bust your vain." Chaud places his finger on her forehead.
Yai slaps his hand away. "Chaud, I hate you. And you know what? I never wanted to be engaged to a guy, like you. Who thinks he's better than everyone and everyone else is below him. It was easier knowing I wasn't engaged to you, but now." Yai holds back her tears. "My world is upside-down because of you."
With that said Yai runs off leaving a flabbergasted Chaud behind. "I see." Chaud said closing his cerulean eyes.
Yai comes to a halt in the field. Why did I say those mean things to Chaud? I'm such an idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Yai scolds herself. "I wonder if I should start over with Chaud. I better. It must be hard on him too. I didn't even consider his feelings towards our engagement. All I was thinking about my unsure feelings." Yai looks up at the puffy grey/white clouds. "Chaud..."
"Chaud? Chaud? Chaud?" Yai calls out looking around for Chaud. But Chaud is nowhere to be found. "I guess he left. Maybe tomorrow I'll be able to apologize."
"Welcome, home Miss Yai." Greets the butler.
"Thank you." Yai forces a weak smile. She felt her stomach was tied up in a not.
"Super is ready. It's your favourite."
While at the super table, Yai played with her food and sighs. "Yai, my dear. Is something wrong?"
Yai looks at her worried father. I cannot tell him what I said to Chaud. Yai looks down at her food. It was her favourite dish but her stomach was in such a not that she lost her appetite. "No. Father, may I be excused? I'm not really that hungry right now." She asks. Her father nods his head. "Thank you for dinner." The young blonde gets off the table walking up towards the stairs.
Yai enters her room and jumps onto her bed. She hugs her feather pillow and softly cries herself to sleep.
Chaud's busy on his laptop and recalls Yai's hurtful expression of being his fiancée.
"Chaud, I hate you. And you know what? I never wanted to be engaged to a guy, like you. Who thinks he's better than everyone and everyone else is below him. It was easier knowing I wasn't engaged to you, but now." Yai holds back her tears. "My world is upside-down because of you."
"Maybe this is all wrong?"
"What's wrong, Chaud?" Protoman asks. Chaud doesn't answer.
