Note: Well, here I am, writing down another idea when I should just keep doing the fics I'm already working on. Well, as soon as I put this down, I'm going to work on my other fics as soon as possible. For now though............read and review! I got this idea when I was reading School Daze (an Inuyasha fic, it's on my favorite's list). I borrowed some stuff, but I made up some of my own things as well. This is a prologue so it's rather short compared to the rest of the chapters. And there is a lot of OOC in Mariah's part.
Disclaimer: I hereby declare I don't own Beyblade, nor do I have the money for it. Life sucks doesn't it?
Boy Trouble
Of Sesame Street and OOC
Mariah's Room: Mariah's POV
Okay, picture this, its 4:30 and two ordinary girls are in a room. One, reading a magazine, another checking out the channels on TV.
One girl has shoulder length brown hair, ruby eyes, and wearing a pink shirt with blue jeans. The other had long pink hair, golden eyes, and wearing a white shirt with purple shorts.
Yep. I (Mariah Takana) and my best friend (Hilary Tatibana) were hanging out together at my house after a hard day at Tokyo Middle School.
I was flipping through the channels until I stopped on one that looked interesting. It was the sports channel. I glanced at Hilary as she flipped through the pages of an animal magazine.
Hilary and I are don't have much in common. I'm a tomboy who loves to do sports; she's a girl who's focused on her studies and art (she loves painting).
So, how did we become friends?
That's an interesting story. It kind of begins with our school.
Tokyo Middle School is full of snobs. Seriously. We have different stereotypes in our school. We have some of the ordinary, some of them not.
There are the jocks, the cheerleaders, the players, the-you get the point?
Look, there are just no sensible people in the school. There are no geeks, nerds-no nothing! Well, that was what I thought before I met Hilary.
I was invisible in school. It was like no one saw me. Which was fine, I didn't want the snobs to see me.
But then, I met Hilary. She was also invisible. Hil and I bumped into each other in the hallway. We soon began talking, and realized we had a lot in common and a lot of differences. We've become really close best friends. No one's going to tear us apart.
Anyway, I was watching the sports channel when Hilary interrupted and asked something.
"Mariah, if you could undo one thing in your life, what would it be?" Think she felt a bit random when she asked that.
I rolled off the bed and landed on the floor (luckily, I didn't get hurt) next to Hil and replied "Going to Tokyo Middle School."
Hil nodded in agreement and said "You know, I just wish we could go to boarding school. It would be so much better that being stuck with a bunch of jerks and idiots."
"Join the club."
The Tokyo Cafe
Okay, you know when you think it's just an ordinary day and nothing new is going to happen?
Well, I thought that too........until I saw a paper that changed everything!
I think I should start form the beginning so you understand okay?
I had decided to pay a visit to my favorite place in all of Tokyo, the Tokyo Café!
The Tokyo Café (not the least bit original in their names) has the best drinks. Hil and I would go there all the time. Emily works there too. Sort of.
Emily Parker is my other best friend, not as close as Hil, but still a best friend. She doesn't go to Tokyo Middle School (lucky her) but a school close to that. When her older brother Michael Parker (those two look nothing alike!) couldn't do his work at the café (because of baseball practice or something) she would so his shift for him. I and Hilary would often visit her. She gives good discount prices.
I went to the magazines rack since Emily wasn't there (nor was Michael) and skimmed through the first one.
I was reading about some guy who professed his love for a man on top of a building when I caught sight of another article on the page. It had a picture of a nice looking building. But that's not what caught my attention, oh no, it was what was written under the picture of the building!
In big bold letters were the words 'Bakuten's All Boys' Boarding School'
Now, don't look at me like that, of course I wasn't going to change my appearance to look like a boy, somehow get permission from my parents, give myself a temporary boy name, and enroll in this all boy's school! What kind of fool do you think I am?!
...............................I'd have to drag Hilary along as well. After all, who in their right minds would say no?
Hilary's Room
"No."
I stared. And stared more. Was that the word I thought it was?!
Of course not........Hil should know you don't use that word unless you're refusing something, it says so in the dictionary!
So.......................why did she say it? WHY DID SHE SAY IT?! I had a million thoughts going through my head, yet I had only the strength to say one little word. A word that expressed everything I was feeling.
"What?"
Hilary fixed me a look and explained "Mariah, I don't think you get it. All Boys' School. A school filled with boys. Do you get the words coming out of my mouth?"
Sure I did. She didn't want to go to a school filled with boys. But I wasn't going to give up without a fight (hopefully, only minimal damage would be done).
"But Hilary! It's okay. All we have to do is disguise ourselves and some other stuff. Besides, look at this stuff! It has a swimming pool, a baseball field, a soccer field, a library, an art room, and so much more!"
Ha! I think I'm starting to win her over; she hesitated for a sec when I mentioned the library and the art room. Yay!
Unfortunately, victory didn't last long. I blame her.
"Mariah, I don't want to go to a school with boys. I don't want to go through all that trouble too." She said, then continued "Besides, why do you want to go there anyway? I know it has something to do other than it has great facility."
I felt trapped. There she goes, pulling the right strings and getting me cornered, like a shooter would corner an animal. Which reminds, animal cruelty! I saw some of these alligator purses in some store, and I was just so shocked that there were people who would actually-
"Mariah!" Oh right, Hil's still waiting for an answer.
"Well, put it this way. If we go to this boarding school, that means we don't have to deal with any snobs or anything! We get freedom, plus.........I really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to do a lot of sports there! Please Hil?!"
She bit her lip and slowly denied again (why!!!!) "I'm sorry Mar, but I don't-"
"Come on, think about all those times I stood by you! The time when you were stuck up in a tree and I stayed in that park until 6:00! The time you got your head stuck up in the garbage can, I convinced everyone you were trying to act like Oscar the Grouch (which reminds me, I think I missed Sesame Street today!)! The time you-"Hil covered my mouth with her hand and replied again, though her face was a bit red since I happened to recall her embarrassing memories.
"I-I......okay Mar. I'll help you pretend to be a boy and I'll come with you to this Bakuten Boy's Boarding School." She finished off with a sigh.
I felt a grin come onto my face. Yes! I have fought the battle and won the war! Take that Alexander the Great, perhaps if you were the least bit kinder and didn't slaughter so many people, you might've lived and NOT gotten a deadly disease, so boo to you!
I wonder if I can still watch that Sesame Street episode........
Prologue Ends
Note: Well, what do you think? This was only 4 pages, the other chapters are going to be way longer. Please review!
Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
