SOS by Rhianna
"Keep singing that top note!" cried Mum over my singing.
Man, do I absolutely hate it when my mum does this. I would rather be beyblading with Vertigo, my black dragon bit beast. I remember learning from my dad. He used to work for the BBA but after he died years ago. When I was 7 or 8, I remember it like yesterday. It was a horrible crash. My mum wasn't the same after. We had to move town and now we lived in Beycity. My mum is trying to get me better at singing even though I hate singing. I probably should introduce myself. I'm Thea Manton; I have short black hair and crystal blue eyes. I usually wear cargo shorts and a green shirt and a surf hat and flip flops. I love surfing, skate boarding, beyblading and writing in my diary. I'm not the greatest at school but I can get by. But getting back to the present.
"I'm trying mum!" I insisted, my voice getting hoarse. I was starting school the next day. I'm going into 10th grade and not looking forward to it. Making new friends and enemies, it was going to be a nightmare. My mum was starting a new job here at the bank as an accountant-ma-thingy.
"No your not, keep trying," she cried again, I had had enough. How can she expect me to keep doing this? My voice is killing and I can barely talk. I glared at her and she stopped the music.
"What is it honey?" she asked sweetly. You glared at her,
"I can't talk, and I need my voice for school tomorrow," you whispered, she sighed and nodded. It was about 10 at night and I dragged myself upstairs to my room. I fell onto my bed and fell asleep.
"Thea wake up! Your going to be late!" shouted mum up the stairs, I groaned and rolled off my bed and fell onto the floor with a 'thump'. I stood up and went for a quick shower and changed. I grabbed Vertigo shoving him in my pocket and ran out my room also grabbing my skate board. I sailed down the banister and out the door that my mum had holding open the door. I skate boarded off to my new school. Dreading the welcome.
Arriving at the gates of the school I walked inside. Around the grounds outside I saw lots of people talking, beyblading and just hanging around. Man, did I ever feel like an outsider. I got off of my board and picked it up swinging it over my shoulder and walked through the gates. Some people stared at me and others whispered. It felt like the walk of shame.
"Who's that…?" Someone whispered on the left,
"Look at her hair," giggled some girls
"Is that a girl or a boy," said someone else. I ignored them best I could. I carried on walking to the main building and went in.
"Welcome, you must be Thea the new student." Said a weird looking lady by the door. You nodded and followed her.
Riiing….
The bell went and the lady who I later found out was the headmistress. She was weird but then again who wouldn't be if you had that job. She showed me to room 205.
"This is your homeroom, your teacher Mr.Chiaki will tell you everything," she explained, I nodded shyly and knocked on the door.
"What is it?" asked a boring, droning voice from behind the door. I gulped and walked in. Inside was a half balding man sitting at a desk and a loud, chatting class. They all stopped when they saw me.
"I'm the new student," you explained,
"Ah yes Thea, come here. Class we have a new student, Thea Manton. Why don't you tell the class about yourself?" He said smiling a fake smile.
"Whatever. My names Thea Manton, I don't think I want to tell you what my dreams are, I have very few likes and many dislikes. That's just about it in a nutshell," I explained smirking. There was silence then someone whispered.
"Hey look it's another Kai, said a boy with navy blue hair and a backwards red and blue cap talking to a blonde haired boy.
"Tyson!" screeched a brown haired girl, hitting him across his head. He yelped and covered his head. You sighed and sat down at the very back where no one was sitting. Mr.Chiaki started a whole boring lecture on what we should do this year and how to start acting. I pulled out my notepad and started doodling a random picture.
"Thea, Thea!" shouted a voice in front of me. I jumped slightly and looked up. Mr.Chiaki was standing over me and glaring at me.
"Yes?" I inquired mock politely, he was fuming.
"I was asking if you can answer the question on the board?" he asked, I looked up and stared at the board.
'What is the Earths Diameter?'
Easy. I remember this. But look no one else's hands are up. I was right I looked around and saw no one with their hands down.
"Um…..13000km, I think," you mumbled,
"Yes finally!" he cried throwing his hands up. A bit mellow dramatic I thought. I sighed and thumped my head back down on my desk. I zoned out the rest of the time. Maths passed. Then Science. Then finally lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and got my food and went to sit down. I sat on a table by myself. It's not like I had many friends at the moment. I sighed again and lay Vertigo on the table and started eating. After a while, the girl from science with brown hair came over, followed by the bluenette and blonde.
"Hi, your Thea right?" asked the brunette. I looked up and stared at her and nodded.
"Yeh, Thea Manton, your Hilary right?" I asked remembering her from the class.
"Yeh, I wanted you to meet two of my friends. This is Tyson Granger and Max Tate, of the Bladebreakers." She introduced us. I nodded and fixed my hat.
"I'm Tyson, the World Beyblade Champ!" he cheered "You must have heard of me," he added,
"Nope, sorry can't say it rings a bell," I replied, even though I knew perfectly well who he was but couldn't be bothered with the fuss and the cockiness of him. I sighed and picked up my sandwich and motioned for Hilary to sit down. She nodded and sat down across along with Tyson and Max.
"Not even a little bit?" he whined
"Nope,"
"You have to have heard of us, the World Champs," added in Max, I shook my head, inside I was in hysterics but didn't show it.
"So what do you like to do?" she asked smiling. Maybe she's not so bad, I thought.
"Not much, Beyblading, Skate boarding, surfing and writing." I mentioned,
"You beyblade?" asked Tyson suddenly getting excited, I nodded picking up Vertigo and handing him over. He stared at it and looked closely at it then put it down. "I challenge you to a beybattle after school!" he shouted so the WHOLE cafeteria could hear him. I shrugged and looked down.
"No," I replied quietly, having my own reasons.
"What?" he whined
"Hey Tyson, who's this you battling?" asked a new voice, I looked up to see a neko-jin with black hair and amber eyes followed by a blank faced boy with two tones in his hair. I sighed and looked at them lazily.
"Oh hey Ray," said Hilary smiling at them, "Hey, Kai,"
"Where' Chief?" asked Max
"Here," cried a little boy running over with a laptop in his hands.
"Okay, who are you guys?" I asked quite rudely,
"Oh Hi, I'm Ray and his is Kai we're in 11th grade but from Tyson's beyblading team." He explained, I nodded, not knowing what else to do.
"Want to sit down?" I asked getting bored of everyone standing up, they nodded and sat down. The last boy, I think it was Kai, not sitting but leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and head down. Okay suit yourself, I thought. They started talking and you just zoned out of it, not really caring.
"What's you bit beast?" asked the small dude, Kenny
"Vertigo, here look at it just don't poke it, he hates that happening." I replied, handing it over to him. Kenny started typing at a furious speed on the keyboard and I just left him to that.
"Wow, nice stats but I just looked you up, on the BBA blader search thing and your profile came up blocked. How come?" he asked, I thought about it.
RIIING!
Saved by the bell, lets get out of here.
"Sorry I have to go, music awaits!" I cheered grabbing my board and blade then skating out the cafeteria dodging teachers and students. I didn't look up someone tripped me, sending me flying off my board and into the wall.
"Hey, did the little boy fall off his board, opppps you're a girl I forgot," said this annoying, bitchy girl. She was one of the ones talking about me today. I got up slowly and glared at her. She just stood giggling to her friends like an idiot. I sighed and leaned own to get my board when she brought her leg up and kicked me in my stomach.
"What the hell was that for?" I yelled at her,
"For being here," and for hanging out with my Kai," she screeched, I flinched at the high pitched voice. I lay on the ground holding my stomach and wriggling trying to get up. I eventually stood up and grabbed my board.
"Hey where are you going? Are you chickening out?" she screeched again,
"No, I'm going to class before I get caught," I replied angrily and skating off with a fuming girl behind me. Eventually finding the class, I was late by like 5 minutes. Little did I know that my face was slightly grazed and my shorts ripped but I ignored it, I was used to falling over. I happened a lot when skate boarding.
"Your late," the teacher said
"Sorry, I'm new," I muttered,
"Oh yes, Thea Manton. I'm Miss. Yamanara." She said smiling "Find a place to sit," I nodded and went to the back, I saw Hilary was in my class and went over to her. Sitting down she gasped.
"What happened to your face?" she asked
"Oh, I err…..erm…….fell," I replied quickly
"Yeh right," she muttered,
"Chill Hilary I'm fine," I replied smiling a cheesy smile.
"Quiet class!" Miss Y called. We all went quiet, I was looking forward to this. "Today we will start a music project. You will be put into groups of four and you will, write and compose a song for the mid term." She called. Hilary sighed next to me.
"I guess you're not a music kinda person, right?" I asked,
"No, I suck,"
"I'm sure you don't," I replied, she smiled weakly and I just grinned at her.
"Bit first I need to test Thea on her singing capabilities. Please come up. The band is set up in the next room. You may choose whatever song you like." She called smiling reassuringly at me. I nodded and stood up. Hilary whispered good luck and I smirked. Walking and following Miss Y into the next room I saw four boys ready. Looking closely I saw Ray and Kai on the guitars.
"No way," I whispered,
"Oh Hey Thea," said Ray smiling. I nodded and turned to Miss Y pulling a set of music out of my bag. This was the song I was going to sing. She looked over the papers and nodded.
"Here you go, scan these then play them boys," she said, they nodded and grabbed the sheets. They scanned them smiling and smirking at the song.
"Okay you can get ready now," said Miss Y. I nodded and stood in front of the band. The Music started. No one expected this song, coming from a tomboy but it was one of the ones mum had made me practise.
Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh
You know... I never felt like this before
Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohhh
Feels like... so real
I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
I'm aggressive just one thought of closing up
You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
I'm the question and you're of course the answer
Just hold me close boy 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
You make me shaken up, never mistaken
But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help
I started dancing slightly, enjoying the song and verse. Miss Y seemed impressed slightly and I carried on singing. Little did I know she had the door open and none of the blinds closed so the students from the other room could look in.
S.O.S. please someone help me.
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard,
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me

Yes it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity
My tummy's up in knots so when I see you I get so hot
My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock
Take on me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right
CD version: Take me on I'm put desire up in your arms tonight
Video version: Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight.

Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel

I'm lost you, got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me (best of me), I'm losing it
Ohh ohh lala lala lala lala
Oh oh
The music faded out and I breathed out heavily. It was exhausting but fun. Miss Y smiled and I saw behind her and saw the blinds up and the door open.
"Ahhh! You had that open the whole time!" I yelled at her trying to hide from all the people staring.
"You did very well and seemed to enjoy it. I would like you to stay at the end after class." She said smiling, then she nodded at the band and they started packing up. Ray waved and I nodded still annoyed at Miss Yamanara. I followed her out of the practise room to see 17 people staring at me. I glared at them and they turned away. I went and sat down again.
"You never said you were that good," whispered Hilary smiling,
"I met you today, there's a lot more things to learn." I replied grinning. I zoned out for the rest of the time and stared at Vertigo as he rested on my palm, smiling slightly I started humming.
Riiing!
I jumped at this. That damn bell was always scaring the hell out of me. I hated it and was about to hit it when Miss Y called me over just as I was half way down the corridor.
"Yesssssss," I whined at her, my last lesson for Friday and I was tired and wanted to blade.
"I just wanted to know if you're interested in joining one of our bands here," she asked, that would mean singing, great just more singing. I would rather be blading, anything but this.
"Erm……I never really thought about it." I replied,
"Well why don't you come meet one of the bands, the one you sung with today," she insisted. I sighed heavily and agreed. Walking back in, the next band was setting up and the first with Kai and Ray in were getting ready to leave.
"Ray, Kai, David and Mike, can you spare a moment," called Miss Y to the four boys. They came over staring at me.
"Yeh Miss Y?" asked a brown haired boy,
"This is Thea, she sung for you today, Thea this is Mike Hathorway, David Jacobson, Kai Hiwatari and Ray Kon." She introduced,
"Hey," I replied waving slightly, I was getting fidgety and started playing with Vertigo's blade. "Even though I'd rather be blading," I muttered as an after thought. Miss Y looked at me and I smiled innocently.
"Hey, your Hilary's friend," said Ray "From lunch right?" he asked
"Yeh, that's me," I answered, there was an awkward silence then I broke it. "I'm really sorry everyone but I have to go. My mum wants me to…….erm……clean the house" running out the door and skating down the halls.
"Thea Manton! Wait!" shouted Miss Y after me, I did a peace sign and hurried away.
