Uh...okay so I've never done this before.
A high school beyblade AU has been on my mind for ages. I was thinking of what to write for my next fic and I went- hey, why not just try out something I've been longing for? So here it is. A high school fic, full of chaos and disasters.
So this fic is set in the year 2004 (because that's when Mean Girls was released and that's also when Beyblade was possibly airing). Peak 2000s high school was quite intriguing and enthralling. While I never experienced it, everyone millennial has talked about it. So this is my take and perception of what high school could have been back then with probably a small twist. Please don't bash me for this fic, I'm only trying my best to portray it.
Also if you dislike Ray/Kai, don't read this fic. It's one of the main pairings in this story alongside a few other ones.
This is just the prologue because I wanted to introduce this story ASAP, so yeah, more characters will be introduced in the next chapter.
PROLOGUE
High school: the most memorable yet chaotic years of our lives. You're a teenager who undergoes simultaneous roller coasters of excitement, anger and frustration.
Some students are popular, some are made fun of, some are assholes, some are two faced. In that crowd, the 1% maybe the clique you're looking for.
But what if you've never been to high school and are planning on going for the first time? Consider all your experiences to go down the tube, because life is about to change tracks.
This was what Ray Kon and his friends from China were about to experience.
Ray Kon, aged seventeen, was a few days away from joining a public school in Los Angeles. His childhood friends, practically his family, or let's say it's all he had in China, were joining him in this hellhole.
Mariah is sixteen and her brother, Lee, is seventeen. A younger member of the group, Kevin, is fourteen.
The interesting thing about Mariah was that she has had a crush on Ray ever since she was a kid. The feelings were not reciprocated, however Mariah Wong was a deluded menace. A menace who's about to stick her foot in a public school of Los Angeles and add fuel to the fire in every situation. Lee was considerably calm, until he whipped out his Beyblade.
Oh yes, Beyblade. The sport of Beyblading is not popular across the globe, but is quite popular in a few places such as Japan, a few European countries, Australia, a few states in the USA and China. While Ray and his friends were fairly good at the sport and were known by quite a few people in the districts of their hometown, little did they know that their potential lied way ahead of their thoughts.
"So, when is our flight?" Lee was sitting on the stone by the river of his village with his arms crossed.
"Uhh...," Ray mumbled, trying to recall the dates he read on the public computer. His village was devoid of any technology. "I think it's the 10th of August."
"That's two weeks from now," piped Kevin.
Simultaneously, another group of friends from different parts of Europe, were similar to them – fairly good at blading and has one menace in their gang. They too were about to attend the same school in Los Angeles.
"Five more days in Paris and the last days of my occupation of being a chef," said a lime-haired boy quite emotionally.
"I swear to god Oliver, don't start bawling," said an Italian blonde.
"Shut up Enrique," said the menace of the group. "All you can think about is girls. You can get tons in high school."
"Cease it right there Johnny!" Snapped the oldest person of the gang, Robert. "We're all going to alone and probably sequestered once we step into school. We must have eachother's back at all times."
Well, someone had anticipated what was coming for them, but that did not help the situation, for none of them were going to bother heeding to his advice.
It was just another month to go.
Had to re-upload it. Ffn took my story down for some reason.
