AN/ This is my first 'official' fanfiction so criticism is highly welcomed. I don't know where I want to go with this story (or any of my others), it's spur of the moment. I'm also no good at spacing my work out. Your ideas are welcomed and here it is...

Third Person POV

Everyone knows what it's like to be nervous and some know what it feels like to be the new kid. Bakura was not only the new kid but the very shy, new kid.

He didn't know what to feel about moving schools, there were so many emotions. Confusion at how the hallways all looked the same, frustration that his parents moved him from his friends, anger at those so called friends.

Thinking back he didn't know if they were his friends. He was bullied at his old school, part of the reason he was moved, and although his friends said they were on his side they turned a blind eye whenever he was kicked to the ground or beat up after school.

Bakura cringed at these memories but he was determined to start anew here. If only he could find his classroom...

Bakura POV

"Now I want to introduce our new student, Bakura. He's just moved here so everyone make him feel welcome."

I took a deep breath then walked into the classroom as if I wasn't nervous. I'm pretty sure I was looking friendly but the way everyone was staring made me unsure.

"Now why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? It's only homeroom lesson so you won't be holding me up" Mr Nakata chuckled.

"Well I'm uh from Liverpool. Um the school I went to there was all right, I guess. Um... I'm sorry" I said looking to Mr Nakata. "I'm just really not that interesting I guess." Looking down I felt ashamed that I had already embarrassed myself.

"Just tell them about your hobbies." I cringed again wishing he'd let me sit down already.

"Well," I started again, "I like playing Duel Monsters." I noticed everyone shift in their seats and suddenly look more interested. I was surprised; everyone at my old school just treated it like a card game and nothing else. But to me it was an obsession.

"Uh and my favourite card is the Change of Hearts. It allows you to take one of your opponent's monster cards. I play with mostly dark or spell cards." But now I'd explained my style I was out of things to talk about again.

Luckily Mr Nakata got me to sit down at the back of the classroom next to a girl called Tea. She was very friendly and chatty and I got lost in her words. She was interested in Duel Monsters even though she didn't play it often and had similar spell cards. Maybe this school wouldn't be too bad after all, it may even be fun.

*Recess*

Recess, it used to my least favourite part of the day but so far no one had approached me to bash me. I hadn't seen Tea since first period and I hadn't 'clicked' with anyone in my other classes. I'd only got lost once and understood how the school was set up.

Some people looked at me in confusion in the hallways but kept their distance, I even saw a few of the girls from this morning eying me. I smiled to myself thinking it was way better than the scenario I'd played in my head about my first day here. Lost in these thoughts I wasn't watching where I was walking and ran into someone, that someone being a lot taller and bulkier than me.

"Hey watch where you're going you ... Wait a second, you're that new kid." He grinned, turning to also bigger-than-me friends. "And we all know what happens to the new kid."

I looked down knowing what would happen, I knew it was too good to be true.
