Chapter 1 – My ending to be a burden
I've spent my whole life so far feeling invisible. No one ever notices me. It's funny though because a lot of girls at school are jealous of me. I can't imagine why. I think it may have something to do with the fact I hang around with the Bladebreakers. Who cares though? It's always "Hilary bring us some drinks", "I'm hungry Hilary. Makes us some lunch", "Hilary where is my blade?!"
Ok, I can deal with that. I've been raised to be a no body so it doesn't bother me as much as it should.
The real torture is seeing him everyday. Sigh, I can never get him off my mind. Sometimes I dream that he will be the one to save me.
I hear my mum's car pull into the drive way. The front door clicks signaling the key turning and it opens. My mum walks in, a box in her hand which I know is full of paper work from her office.
"Hilary! Get down here!" I hear her call out.
I run downstairs to greet her. "Yes mum?"
"Did you call Tekoshinu's and order the food like I asked for my party?"
"Yes mum."
"And what did they say about the pies?" She asked as she hung up her jacket neatly.
"They said they can't do it because the pastry you wanted is too difficult to work with."
"Hilary that just isn't acceptable. You have to learn to argue. It really isn't that difficult. I'm sorry but you are being a disgrace. Can't you do anything right?"
"I-I did try. But they said-"
"I don't want to hear excuses Hilary. I will have to do everything myself as usual. I ask you to do one simple thing and you can't even do it right."
I nodded defeated and watched as she walked away to fix my mistake. I was never a good arguer.
I heard her yelling at the caterers. "I don't care the price or how hard it is! Just do it! I am paying you for your services so you will abide by what I have asked!"
I heard the phone get slammed down and then, "Hilary!"
I walked into her study where she was typing on the computer; probably business reports or something.
"Yes?"
"Where is your report? You got it today, didn't you?"
"Yeah…"
"Well bring it here."
I sighed and went and retrieved my report card and handed it to her. I stood facing her with my hands behind my back.
She scanned over it, clearly ignoring the positive remarks. She does this a lot. She finds the negatives, picks at them than she ignores the positives and doesn't even acknowledge them.
"What is this?" 'Here we go…'
"Pardon?"
"This mark right here. This 'B'. A 'B' Hilary? That is not acceptable! Didn't I tell you at the start of the semester I wanted nothing less than 'A's'?"
"… Um yes but that class was when you had me working on-"
"No excuses. I am very disappointed Hilary. Go to room and don't bother coming out."
I ran to my room and threw myself onto my bed. They just didn't get it. I was the smartest in my year but I got one 'B'.
I wiped my face with the back of my hand and looked at my tears. No one cared…
I fell asleep not long after from exhausting myself. At least it was the holidays for now…
"Where is Hilary? I'm hungry!"
"Tyson give her a break. She's probably busy."
"Hmph! Well I'm hungry."
I walked into the dojo and caught the end of the conversation. I sighed. Typical.
"Guys I'm here!" I called out.
"Finally! What took you so long?"
I looked at Tyson. "It's not my fault I'm too young for a license."
"Then walk faster fatty." Everyone looked at him.
I walked over to him and grabbed his ear.
"OW!!! LET GO!!"
"Apologize Tyson! You're fatter than I am!"
"OK OK OK!!! I'm sorry!"
I let go and let him drop to the floor. "If you keep it up you can make your own god damn breakfast. I am not your maid Tyson Granger."
Max, Ray and Kenny laughed. "Nice one Hil."
I sneaked a glance at Kai who was leaning against a wall with his arms folded. He looked asleep but I knew better. I knew that he was thinking. Probably about Tyson being a discriminating pig…
Despite everything, I made them breakfast. I hated to admit it, but I kind of WAS their maid. Just not officially.
After breakfast, they all declared it was time to train.
We all headed outside. The sun was shining and the clouds were fluffy. A beautiful day in my opinion.
They split up in pairs to battle. Max and Tyson went to one dish and Ray and Kai went to another.
I sat down on my usual seat next to Kenny who was holding Dizzy and watching the boys all battle.
"Hey Chief! Did you notice Ray's new attack ring has almost doubled the power?"
"Yes Dizzy! This is amazing! We are geniuses! Hehehe!"
I shook my head. I wondered if anyone else thought it was weird that Kenny spoke all day long to a laptop.
I quietly watched Kai battle. He is so handsome. The way he focuses on his blade, the way his brows crease when he's concentrating and the way he brushes his bangs out of his eyes with a simple flick of his hand. Or the way his eyes look almost red in the sun.
Argh. I was so lovesick.
I blushed as Kai looked at me and caught me looking at him. I turned away quickly and looked over at Max and Tyson.
This was just a normal day in my opinion….
A normal day in the diary of Hilary.
Review!!! Tehe
