Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I don't own Beyblade...or 'X-Men'...though I wished that I was one with cool mental powers or ice controlling powers when I was young. CLEARLY, that didn't happen. :'(

AN: Here's the next chapter, guys! Phew! Finally done. With semester exams breathing down my neck (in a totally unpervy way...what's wrong with me?), the updates will be a bit slow. But they'll keep coming. YEAH! :D

Uh...about the chapter, Tyson's here! Expect some craziness, some...daring things and some blatantly bad jokes! Again...WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

Also, this will eventually be Tyka with a Uke!Kai because...HE'S SO CUTE!

Aaand, I'd like to thank everyone who've read this story, liked it and reviewed. Thank you EVERYONE!

Warning: Language...maybe...

Being late, Tyson noted, absolutely blew. Not that Tyson was regretting or even wishing that he came in earlier—it wasn't possible and let's face it! You can't always keep on thinking 'what if' when you KNOW that you can never EVER make that 'what if' come true.

And that meant, Tyson KNEW that he could never EVER be early in class. Or, early in bed...or early in uh...showers...uh...hmm, well, he didn't think that last bit and you didn't see it. There.

He sighed, sprinting over the last few steps.

He heard the last bell ringing and as much as he'd love to not do the class (or any other actually), he'd still have to attend it anyway. Not because he was tremendously weak in that subject (Tyson wouldn't know. He barely knew what said subjects were) but simply because of the fact that it was the first day of school after a deliciously long vacation and he couldn't wait to be the bum of the ball again!

There was no harm in tweaking an old proverb and he'd pretend that it absolutely did NOT sound perverted at all! THERE.

If only things would be true only by saying 'there'! It'd make his life helluva lot easier. And maybe less boring. Tyson did lead a pretty boring life. Well, minus the clowniness. It was totally a word. THERE!

...You know what? Shut up.

As he approached his class, he could still hear some guys (probably his gang) talking loudly. Which was good, considering that Tyson had the remotest possibility of getting in class before the teacher had arrived.

What? He didn't disrespect teachers. Don't judge him!

With a huge breath, he closed his eyes and slammed open the door while he made a very important announcement, "MADE IT!"

He felt awfully proud of himself. See, it was because of these grand entrances that people knew him; that people cheered him on and welcomed him cheerily like NOW!

Umm...like NOW.

...now...

WHY WAS IT SO QUIET IN HERE?

He opened his eyes and his face twisted to utter confusion immediately when he took in all pair of eyes directed at him. That too, not in a good way.

Seriously! Everybody was like...gawking at him! Not at all in a good way.

What? Did he have something in between his teeth? That'd be...oh gross!

AND what was a sure indication of him being in trouble was the fact that the boys in the last benches were sniggering at him and looked as if he was a sacrificial animal or something!

"What?" He asked a nearby student who shifted his eyes behind Tyson. "Huh! Don't tell me that loser Peed didn't make it!"

Still nobody said a word. The kid whom he addressed was now turning a shade paler (if it could be actually possible...he was pretty much chalky now) and trying to bulge his eyes off his socket!

"Wh-what are you trying to do? Stop doing that! It's freaky. Freakier than your name rhyming with 'Pee'. Okay well, less freaky than that."

Now THAT would earn a good laugh. It really would...under normal circumstances. So now Tyson understood that it wasn't a circumstance that was normal. In fact it was a circumstance that was becoming a normally abnormal situation with no sign of anything normal.

So it wasn't good AT ALL. If anything, it was bad. Waaayyyy bad.

He stiffly turned around and face palmed immediately as the sight of pure evil came into view. Well, maybe it was an exaggeratedly exaggerated exaggeration but it was still his teacher and he was still anything BUT pure and was very very evil.

And this was a freakishly confusing word that popped up in Tyson's mind. Or maybe he just wanted to say it. BITE HIM!

He was screwed anyway!

"Umm...good morning Mr. Reid." He greeted in a meek voice, accompanied by someone whispering a 'good call' for moral upliftment. Tyson grinned at that and responded by giving that person well deserved thumbs up.

Actually, he tried greeting in a meek voice in which he failed...umm...pfft HORRIBLY. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that his meek voice sounded less 'meek' and more 'ha-ha, you fugly with a fugly name, YOU '.

OOOKAY so maybe Tyson had a little problem with authority. That doesn't make him a rebel, alright? Shut up. He was busy!

Mr Reid said nothing. He simply stared at Tyson and if Tyson was a girl with a very bad choice, he would sooo blush. But he wasn't a girl and he was not implying that he was girly in any sense. So, SHUT UP!

Aw man, he didn't plan his day to be like this!

...Hehehe, right. He did, didn't he?

So anyway, Tyson matched the stare—look by look and level by level (The shortness of Mr Reid helped) before the teacher became fed up and motioned him to go and sit down.

Which Tyson did with a huge smile on his face (because let's face it, if you have ever pulled one on your teacher, you too would smile HUGELY) and the smile was returned enthusiastically by his gang as he settled in his seat.

See? Moral upliftment!

"Alright class, please be seated." The teacher said, "I have an important announcement to make. Tod—"

"Eh, sit down!"

But he was stopped quickly by a group of helpful students who urged others to obey him and make his job easier.

"Aee, didn't you hear him? Sit down. He has an important announcement to make today." Rei was heard echoing the command.

"Sit down. Sit down everyone. Listen to Teach. He knows." Followed by Max.

"Oye Chuckles, look goofy in your seat. Teach has an announcement." Finally followed by Tyson, that earned more snorts and snickers from...well, just about the rest of the class (minus Hilary. Laugh? What was that? Was it a book?)

"Thank YOU, boys." Mr Reid rolled his eyes. Actually, it was the only thing that he could do. He was sooooo intimidating when he did that.

Eh...NOT! Because...today, staredown, Tyson, seat...yeah.

"Now, today I have someone with me."

"Isn't it kinda private?" Tyson provided, helpfully which earned him a glare from the oldest man.

He did NOT appreciate being interrupted and he did NOT have a sense of humour. That was...ugh, so pathetic.

"What I'm saying is," Mr Reid continued impatiently, "Meet your new classmate. He has been transferred from Whitney Prep School and will be continuing his course in our establishment."

"Can they do that?" Tyson whispered, nudging Max.

"I dunno. May be if you have certain ties...or a motherload of cash." Max replied.

"Or a very stupid brain", interjected by Rei after which everyone started laughing quietly.

Tyson poked his tongue out at Rei and winked, before looking ahead. The classmate was about to make an entrance and Tyson couldn't wait to see what poor sod had it up against him that he transferred to his school.

A grin started forming on his face when he saw a shadow of a boy on the wall—

Hellooooo newbie! Man, he could so enjoy pulling that guy's legs. He was already starting to have ideas! Welcome to He—

He couldn't finish his thought as he took in his new classmate. It was a guy alright—but he looked a year older. Don't ask how he knew! People in this town seemed to make accurate guesses even at the research thesis level by just ONE glance. Just...take it as his eyes being super sharp, okay? Okay. There.

Anyway, the guy seemed older and had a dual toned hair that screamed pure 'badass'. Also, it screamed 'X-Men' but...Tyson had...blue hair. So...ummm, never mind.

Back to Kai. Tyson knew it to be badass as the posture—in which the guy was standing—was practically oozing an aura that screamed 'BADASS' and the way his scarf swished in the air stamped a 'badass' seal on his forehead.

Plus, the fact that he was actually wearing the swishy scarf without dying from a heatsroke and also managing to comfortably wear a scarf in the middle of summer!

If this wasn't badassery, then it didn't exist. Period.

'Ahem ahem.' Tyson was quickly pulled off from his own little mind explosion by Max, who nudged him and asked tauntingly in a sing song voice, "What are you waaaatchiiiing?"

Tyson grinned and replied equally tauntingly in the same sing song voice, "Whatever's there to waaaaaatch."

"What is it that's there to waaatch~" Max pursued, having a very naughty grin on his face.

"That depends on who's watching whatever it is that is there to waaaatch~"

Max giggled and winked, "What is it that's there to watch for youuu?"

Tyson winked back and said, "That's my private matter!"

Both of the guys snickered and echoed a perfectly synchronized, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

Tyson looked back up and was startled by the sight greeting him. The dude was looking straight at him! He had this weird stare as if he was searching the very core of Tyson and his eyes...they were...like,boring deep down his soul or something!

Um...FREAKY! Should Tyson be worried about being mind controlled? They say Telekinesis is pretty dangerous...and apparently, bald men reading freaking mind! Thank GOD Kai wasn't bald.

"So Kai, why don't you go and sit over..." Mr Reid was searching for an empty seat, "...there." And his face dropped immediately as he found one next to Tyson. Seeing that, Tyson returned a sweet smile to his teacher—who rolled his eyes and ignored him.

But Kai (so that was his name!) seemed absolutely unfazed by it and approached Tyson with complete confidence. And yeah, badassery.

So now Tyson could deduce a few things:

Kai had attitude, 2. Kai was a badass, 3. Kai wore a scarf that swished and which made him badass, 4. Heatstroke steered clear of Kai, 5. Tyson wasn't obsessing over Kai and lastly...6. Kai made Tyson space out so much that he completely missed hearing his full name!

WHAAAAT? That was a first!

Actually, the last bit wasn't a problem at all. Tyson didn't need to address him by his full name. Whatever he needed, he had heard it. Seriously, had he ever addressed his classmates by their full names?

Hey Maxie Tate! Have you seen Kenny 'The Chief' blahblah? He might've puked in my cap.

Yo Rei Kon ma-man!

Urghhhh Hilary Tachibanaaaa! Quit asking QUESTIONS!

Ew, thank GOODNESS the idea never occurred to him before! Otherwise, he'd have a lonely childhood and everyone would bully him, make fun of him and put him in a mental ward!

Also ...umm...Kenny didn't have a last name anymore. Hehe...hehe...he...

But a major problem was that as Kai passed him by (the name had a ring to it, right?), he narrowed his eyes at Tyson and sat down without any word, closed his eyes and stared out the window.

...Oooookay...

Not so social now, was he?

He waited for a few seconds to see if Kai was interested in even acknowledging him. But as he was proved wrong yet again (and it seemed to be happening to him the whole morning), he huffed and went on talking to his group.

That Kai...he was a weird bird! And besides the fact that he was miniscule-ly, insignificantly interesting somehow he was TOTALLY getting on Tyson's nerves!

Whatever. He too ignored Kai. Huh. THERE.

AN: I know, 'miniscule-ly' isn't even a word. But...it's Tyson and he's a teen and he's stupid! HA. Okay, that was mean.

Thank GOD the intro is finished. Now I can move on to the main part of the story! And yes, I really do have this question—how DOES Kai manage to wear his scarf in summer? If it had been me, I'd...go nuts in the heat alone! O.o But that's Kai I guess!

Also the word ramble game thing. I swear I am not on crack. It's my bored brain that really really rambles and makes me confused. Well...That happens to everyone. Shut up. It happens to EVERYONE. So, THERE.

Soooo...Let me know what you think of this chapter. What needs work? What needs...less work? I really appreciate your feedbacks. Please review. :D
