Ch-1: The Day When It Happened.

This story is work of my imagination.

I do not own Beyblade.

The Granger Dojo:

It was a lazy day in dojo. Tyson and Max went out to buy icecream and popcorn for the movie night that they have been planning since few days prior. Grandpa was cleaning the backyard rather enthusiastically.

Ray was lazily leaning against the wall. While Kai was meditating in the room.

" So.. What's up with you and Hilary?" asked Ray suppressing a smirk.

Kai who had been meditating opened his eyes, startled.

" What are you talking about?" Kai feigned ignorance.

" You don't think I'm dumb enough to miss you sneaking glances at her when you think no one is watching. Do you?"

" You must be mistaken. There is nothing of that sort." Kai denied immediately.

" Is that so? Then why do I see a red tint on your cheeks? Is that by mistake a blush?" teased Ray.

Kai's cheeks flushed even more on hearing Ray's words. Trying to overcome this embarrassing moment, Kai spoke whatever came to his mind without any filter.

" Ray, Have you lost your mind? Hilary and I? That must be a joke! She is bossy and annoying. She isn't worth my time."

Saying this, Kai was about to close his eyes to continue meditation but was interrupted by gasp followed by sound of cokes tray hitting the surface.

Kai and Ray turned their heads in that direction only to be faced with a teary-eyed Hilary with her clenched fist on her mouth trying to stifle her sobs.

Ray looked at Hilary worriedly. While Kai stood there shell shocked. Then what she uttered made Kai regret what he said.

" I didn't know that you think of me as worthless. Don't worry, I won't be imposing on you anymore."

With that being said, Hilary ran out of dojo ignoring Ray who was shouting her name.

___

It had been two days since that incident in dojo. Hilary have stopped coming to dojo and hanging out with Bladebreakers. The absence of ever energetic brunette left a gloom in atmosphere. No one raised question about Hilary's absence as they were informed of the incident.

" That teaches her a lesson not to boss around people."

Tyson said obnoxiously when he heard about the incident.

Grandpa whacked Tyson's shoulders forcefully to which he winced.

" Hey Gramps! why did you do that?" grumbled Tyson.
