Flower_on_thewind: CHAPTER 10!!!!! Whoo, and a looooong way to go after
this! Yeah... I decided that if a love triange were to happen... (minus
Kevin of course) we should understand the ppl involved more! So, yeah! This
whole chapter is in either Marriah's POV or Lee's POV. Mariah may be an
obsessive ditz some times, but... I'm going to try to make her more
respectable (against my gut feeling to portray her as the moron she is).
Hee hee, whatever, just enjoy!

Chapter 10: words of a lover
(((Mariah's POV)))
Mariah felt horrible. Wow, the understatement of the year. She felt like shit. Conflicting emotions as well as logical and illogical thoughts screamed throughout her mind. Never had she felt more confused and alone in her life. She was so scared when she found out she needed to be married to someone. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE WHO HER LIFE MATE IS GOING TO BE!!! Ugh, and when the elder mentioned Lee as a possible husband, every fiber in her body screamed NO! She loved Rei till the end of time. She couldn't see herself marry anyone but him... But Lee... he was...well, he just wasn't a god like Rei. Rei was perfect. He knew when he stepped over the limits and when he needed to be ferocious. He was the first boy to treat her like a friend, heck he was the first person to show her how to beyblade! And Rei's body was definitely that of perfection in Mariah's mind. She could go on and on about how his hair falls perfectly around his face, or how his graceful cat-like stances would always take her breath away. Most importantly however, Rei was the best friend she ever knew. It was hard to imagine his friendship gone. As for Lee... well...
Lee was the hotheaded second in command in Mariah's mind. No matter how much he tried, he will never be as great as Rei. Never. His personality could be brash and hardheaded sometimes, but never as much as Kevin's. He holds honor and tradition so tightly to his heart that it affects the other sides of him. Quite often, his sense of honor and tradition clashes with her own sense of female dominance and justice. Whenever she compared Lee to Rei, it always seems that Rei's light shone brighter and more brilliant than Lee's. Perhaps it was all just a bias conclusion, but Mariah always secretly knew that Rei will always be better than Lee. Maybe she thought that way because she never really gave Lee a chance. But seriously! Who'd want to spend their entire life stuck with some tradition loving, second place loser? Sorry for sounding harsh, but Mariah really felt nauseous whenever thinking about spending her life with an entirely different personality. Call it a personality clash, or whatever. Mariah just didn't like him in *that* way.
When Mariah saw Rei's mother at the meeting, her heart soared like an eagle. It gave her hope with so many possibilities! If she were to be married with him, she would definitely say that she would be happy for life. All those years of dreaming will finally come true! Her life will become a happy fairy tale! She would work hard to be a good wife, one that will never displease her husband. But she will only do that for Rei. Never Lee. If she had to marry Lee, she would probably argue with him forever; taking her own standing in life and being the feminist that she was known for. Heh, it's funny how love can alter how you act.
...But then Mariah realized what Rei's reaction would be on this subject. He'll be furious! She just knew it. Rei wasn't the type who wanted his future mapped out for him on some sort of paper. He wanted his own choices. His own wife. He'd never want to marry her this way. These conclusions sadden her to the brink of depression. Why did the ways of the heart have to be so complicated!?!?!
(((Lee's POV)))
Lee was angry. Nothing important ever goes his way in life!! NOTHING!!! He was secretly happy to be informed that he had a chance from this arrange marriage with Mariah. All his life he had this stupid crush on her, and it wouldn't die! STUPID MORTIFIYING CRUSH!! It took him awhile to realize that he was actually head over heels with the pink haired beauty. Sure their opinions on things were sometimes like night and day, but whenever they did agree on something, it was with a passion. Sometimes he would spend all day just arguing with her. BUT that was all a front. Arguing with her was secretly his way of staring at her and having a reason for it. He loved everything about her (secretly of course). From her hair to her ideals, Lee secretly admired it all. One thing he really loved was how her eyes would suddenly light up with happiness. It was very fascinating to watch how those amber eyes suddenly fill with joy.
Unfortunately her eyes only lit up that special way for his best friend, Rei. Rei...oh how he could hate him!! It seems more and more that Rei's becoming less of his best friend and more of a rival. Rei was always better than he, wiser than he, and overall luckier than he. Everything Lee could do, Rei could do better. Well...almost everything. None of his teammates had that sense of honor or tradition in their blood. None of them knew the true meaning of justice. All of them thought he was just to prideful and arrogant. Hah. What a joke. He was anything but. Sure, he had the pressure of being a leader, sure he was brought up thinking he needed to be the best. But inside, he always felt second place. Inside, he felt weak and overshadowed by none other than his best friend. No matter how much effort he put into everything, Rei had the upper hand. There was this aura of greatness that emitted from the Chinese boy that he couldn't compete with. No matter how hard he tried. It wasn't fair! Oh, the buds of jealousy had planted their seeds within Lee for a long time now...it was only a while before they'll bloom into dangerous, vile flowers.
DUN DUN dun..
Flower_on_thewind: ugh! Short, fast, and with tons of mistakes... oh well! Well, now you have a deeper look into the minds of other characters! Um. review PLEASE!! I'm kinda getting confused w/ myself on what to do... eh, I'll figure it out... SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
