I want to let everyone know that a) I don't own beyblade, b) I got this idea from Ranma ½ and The Princess Diaries, and c) this story is Ty/Hil with Kai/Hil friendship moments.
Chapter 1: Diaries and Believed Friends
Friday, September 29, 2006, My Room, 8 pm
I didn't bother to say goodbye to Tyson and his dad when they left. Actually, I think it was only Mr. Granger who left now, since Tyson had stormed out of the house right after he realized that we're engaged.
We're engaged…it's still so hard to get used to it. I mean, I bet if you told me that I would be engaged to Tyson about a year ago, I would laugh at you and declare you crazy; seriously. What would possess our fathers to make such a promise, anyway?
But, it's not like I would ask my dad anyways. Not after this little…drama. He'll be lucky if I ever talk to him by the time I'm in university.
As I was thinking this, there was a knock at the door. "If it's you, Dad, go away." I said angrily. I had a feeling it wasn't my dad though; he was smart enough to know that you shouldn't go near Hilary Tatibana when she's angry.
"It's me." Said the person behind the door. I knew it was Sakura immediately, not only when because of her voice, because whenever I was down, or sick, or both, she would always come to me with pastries. It was like she was psychic, or something.
Sakura came into the room, and sat beside me on my bed. She handed me the plate with cinnamon buns on it, and I eagerly took it. Sakura's food was always good; mine were the exact opposite, disgusting and nasty. But, I would never try and tell anyone that.
"I heard what happened. I'm sorry, Hil." Said Sakura sympathetically. She and Tyson were the only people in the world that I would allow to call me Hil. I don't know why, though…
"Yeah, well, my life is basically over." I reply, taking a bite out of my icing covered cinnamon bun. Sakura shook her head, and smiled at me like I was child. Personally, I love that smile. Everyone gives me so much responsibility, and she's the only one who sees me as I want to be seen; an overly-smart teenager who needs someone to look up to.
"No, it's not. Tyson does seem like a nice child. And he has a large appetite, too." Giggled Sakura. I groaned slightly. If she saw how Tyson eats, even she would be disgusted.
"Sakura, my life is over. Now I won't be able to meet my soul mate, and I'll be stuck with Tyson forever!" I cried suddenly, letting my emotions go. I can't see myself with Tyson forever! I mean, he's not…we're not, you know, in love or nothing…
Sakura sighed and looked at me, with an amused expression on her face. She handed me a book, which was a peachy pink color with my name in black. "Here, Hil. You might need this." She said, before leaving the room with an empty plate.
This is the origin of you, my dear diary. I asked Sakura later about you, and she said that I need to learn to communicate my feelings better, and if I can't open up to people, I'll have to do it through writing, which sounds like a complete waste of time. I have to study, and I have to take care of Eric, plus all my class president work I need to do.
God, my life just can't get any worse.
Saturday, September 30, 2006, Park, 6 pm
Please excuse my last statement. Yes, indeed, my life can get worse. Way worse. Well, this might not be the worse thing, but besides the whole engagement thing, it is the worst.
Tyson told the team we're engaged.
See? I told you so. Not only does one certain beyblader have a big stomach, he also has a big mouth, too. We are totally not compatible, and I am willing to prove that to my father and Mr. Granger. But for now, all I want to do is try to survive this year.
Anyway, let me tell you what happened. As usual, I went to Tyson's house for practice. Not a big thing, right? Well, it does. Get into a big thing, I mean. When I get there, I see Tyson's grandfather.
"Hi, grandpa!" I say happily to him, trying to hide the fact that I'm engaged to his grandson. He looks at me for a bit, before answering "Hey home girl." which is kind of strange, because he always is so happy and cherry. And now, it's like he's just trying to finish off with some obstacle, you know?
I shrug it off and head inside. After all, Tyson's grandfather is one 'whack man' anyways. Once I get inside though, I hear Tyson talking.
"I can't believe it! She is such a know it all, and I'm stuck with her!" he exclaims. I don't enter yet, so I decide to stay outside and listen to what he's saying.
"Dude, I can't imagine it. You and Hilary engaged? It's too funny." Says Ray, followed by sounds of laughter by him, Max, and Kenny. Tyson mutters something else, and they laugh all over again.
Immediately, I start to panic. Should I go in and beat up Tyson? Should I run away and never come back? I sigh dejectedly, and made me way out of the dojo.
So, you see, Diary. This is why my life is bad. Not only has my father betrayed me, my own friends are talking trash about me! Well, I thought they were my friends, anyway. They did tell me I was part of the team, after all. I am such a gullible idiot, believing them.
All this is my dad's fault, I thought. He knew how much I hated Tyson, and he knew that I was friends with the Bladebreakers. And now, this whole engagement thing has drifted me apart from them…
Same day, at home, almost midnight
Kai had come to see me at the park. He told me that the others weren't talking trash about me, and that they were just saying how unusual it is.
"Tell me about it." I tell him back. Obviously, the great Kai Hiwitari has to know that I despise Tyson. A lot. With almost every fiber of my being. Almost being the key word.
Kai sighed and sat down next to me. Sometimes I think Kai would be a great catch if he talked, you know? Besides the occasional comment here and there. He's actually quite handsome, if you forget about the other stuff.
But, I shouldn't be checking out other guys, since I am engaged, after all.
"Hilary, don't be stubborn. He likes you; you like him, its plain obvious with someone for a brain and at least one eye." Said Kai tiredly. I guess I would be tired of our fights and bickering, too. But, hey, he's the one who's always wrong.
I scoffed at him. "Kai, I always thought you had good judgment. Turns out I'm wrong." I said sarcastically, and he didn't take it too well. He simply got up, and started to leave.
"Kai, wait. I'm sorry, okay? But you wouldn't like it if you were suddenly engaged without any notice or consent from anyone." I explained sadly, getting up from my seat on the park bench. Kai stopped walking.
"I don't, but I do know that you'll someday be happy. Someday." He said, before continuing his way out of the park. I sighed and slumped back on the bench. By the looks of the position of the sun, it is now about 9 pm, but I don't want to go home yet. Not to where my crazy, insane father is. Not to where I find out the most dramatic, hateful news a girl can get.
This chapter is a bit short, but meh, whatever. I have to start back on my other fic, so yeah, REVIEW!
Kendo Baby
