Maybe you should make it so she goes on a weekend? Then you can add in how your character waited and what he did during that time.
I think you should work on some sentences that don't consist of one independent clause. Try using some transitions. Like, "While I had nothing to do but to just walk, people would stare at me as if I was homeless." Your sentences are too short, which doesn't help the story flow.
I seriously agree to what you said.
Your story is greatly realistic, I won't tell you to be original as there is simply nothing you can be 'original' about in a beyblade-related story. You may just make different characters and storylines, but the plot will usually be the same.
All in all, just a few things you must take care of. Those are listed by Deikailo already. About the final part, you must have described 'your' condition when you slammed into that 6th grader. Like(just an example, I ain't good at writing)-
"Watch where you are going, kid. Well I'm not letting you off the hook. Let's battle." he said.
My body started to tremble, I thought I was losing control over the situation. Tears began to roll down my eyes. But, I realized, "No, I have trained a lot with my Libra. I will not lose. Even though I may not be as strong as him, but I certainly won't go away without trying". These thoughts gave me the courage to go on. I gave the arrogant sixth grader a confident gesture, directing him towards the school's beystadium. We took our positions, and were ready to battle.

Whoa! Its been so long since I wrote something!
I suggest you to watch some plastic generation battles, especially the ones involving Kai. This would give you an idea of how to write a beybattle. You see, the dialogues and phrases which Kai says are way too good and will help you.
Here's one example-

Notice how Kai infuriates King towards the end by saying- "Looks like I'm a slow learner".
That's how you must incorporate dialogues to your characters during battles!
