Chapter 1

I just entered my new classroom for my new school year, that's when I noticed her. Long, fiery red hair going along with her pink and blue uniform. She sat at the very back reading a book I couldn't identify. Her thin, black rimmed glasses surrounding those hazel eyes. The glasses made her look very intelligent, and I could tell she was.

I had grown over the past five years after everything with Dartz. I am currently standing at 5'9 right now. My voice has gotten deeper and my dark, raven hair got longer, then Seto got tired of it and made me cut it off. I was so mad at him, but I'm pretty use to it right now, my hair is really messy and reaches the nape of my neck. I am currently sixteen and a junior at my high school, Domino High SChool and I was wearing my blue uniform with a black t-shirt underneath. I moved my dark blue eyes to next to me and saw my best friend, Jasper.

"Hey Mokuba, have a good summer?" He asked me. Jasper was the same height as me with dirty blonde hair and violet eyes. He wore his uniform like me, open jacket but with a red t-shirt underneath. Jas was a great guy, he was friendly, understanding and loyal. That's why he was my best friend.

"Eh, pretty boring most of the time. Seto was at work most of the time, no surprise. I basically watched TV and video games and junk, how was Africa?" I asked him.

"Pretty cool, we saw a quite a few elephants, you should have seen them! They were gigantic! One even spat some water out of its trunk at me," Jas griminced in the memory. I began to laugh and noticed the girl turned towards us, then turned back to her book.

"Who is she?" Jas whispered in my ear.

"No clue, must be new," I stated the obvious. I have never seen her before, and Domino was a small town. Jas walked over to her and sat in the desk next to her.

"Hey there, I'm Jasper Tsuki, you can call me Jas. What's your name?" I heard Jas say. The girl slowly turned her head towards him and was about to reply when the bell rang. Damn that bell. I walked over to where Jas was and sat right in front of him.

"This is my friend, Mokuba," I overhear him say, I turned around and saw the girl look at me with those beautiful blue eyes.

"Hi!" I said happily as people began to enter, some guys acknowledge me with nodds and girls we're waving at me or saying hi. I smiled to some of them, making them turn and giggle.

-Girl's POV-

What the hell does Bridget think she's doing! Hitting on Eric like that! Gods, what the hell is she thinking!

I turned my head away from my book when I heard a few guys talking at the doorway. One had slightly messy, blonde hair and the other had wildly messy, raven hair. I turned back to my book when I heard footsteps coming closer.

"Hey there, I'm Jasper Tsuki, you can call me Jas. What's your name?" I turned my head to examine him. Dirty blonde hair with violet eyes. An odd combination. The school uniform with a red shirt underneath. I could tell he was tall, he had long legs. I just met him, but I knew he could be trusted, he had this sudden warmth.

Before I got a chance to reply, the bell rang. The boy with raven hair walked over towards us then I noticed his dark blue eyes. He sat in front of Jas.

"This is my friend, Mokuba," Jas said. I turned my attention back to him, Mokuba turned to face me.

"Hi!" He said as people entered the room, I noticed how people were acknowledging him, guys with nodds, girls with waves or talking to him. Mokuba must have done something and the girls turned away giggling. Oh great, a ladies man...hope he's not a player. Then a tall woman with dark brown hair entered with a brown suit.

"Good morning class, I am Sensei Umigan, I shall be your homeroom teacher this year, and also your math teacher this semester as well, if you have math," I heard some people groan and I saw Sensei Umigan give a disapproving look at some people.

"Now, for roll call," She lifted up a folder and began roll call. After a few names, I heard a name that made my blood froze.

"Kaiba Mokuba," Kaiba? I turned to look at Mokuba and saw him raise his hand. Mokuba was a Kaiba! Why didn't I see it before? I've seen his brother on a ton of dueling magazines, and some articles about him and his brother, but it never rang a bell!

"Rytifu Talis," I heard my name called. I raised my hand in the air and people turned to look at me.

"Ah, I am guessing you're new," I nodded as she continued roll call

Umigan put the folder down indicating roll call was done then she began to talk, "Alright, due to it being the first day, we will be staying in our homerooms, then we will have a school assembly in second period, you will then have lunch, after lunch you shall have your regular classes." She completed. I opened my binder and checked my shedule and saw I had gym and computer science.

We had to do introductions, I was glad I was somewhere in the end. Mokuba was then called up, I rolled my eyes. Why did he need to introduce himself? I mean, come on! He's been in dueling magazines for heavens sake!

"Some of you might know me..." SOME? I rolled my eyes again, "...I'm Mokuba. I enjoy dueling, well, obviously, sports and music," Hey..I like him, "I have an older brother, Seto who owns Kaiba Corp." Crap, just remembered that's the company my mom just transferred at, "...And that's about it." I blinked a few times, I just realized I zoned out when he was presenting. I noticed some people were raising thier hands, mostly girls.

"Are you single?" One of them asked, making the other girl's hands to go down. I closed my eyes and rubbed the bridge of my nose with my fingers. What. The. Hell?

"Sadly, I am," Mokuba replied confidently, he must have expecting that question. He walked towards his seat in front of Jas and we continued.

It finally came to my turn, I sighed and walked towards the front. I hated presenting in front of little people, a large group, no problem, because I can't see their faces, but...my class, when I hardly knew anybody!

"Well.." I began, biting my lower lip, where do I start? "I'm Talis. My mom, my little brother and I just transferred from Tokyo to here," No duh to here! "I like dance, reading, music, sports, dueling and er..." I began to think, what else did I like, "...technology. I've always wanted to work at a place that has buisness or technology or a mix of both. I dislike brussel sprouts and asparagus...actually, I hate it! Despise it! And one day, when I get a job with technology, I am going to wipe the Earth of brussel sprouts and asparagus and everything and everybody I hate. Hopefully, by then, the technology will be more advance," I looked around the class and some people's eyes were wider than before. I smirked. I'm pretty sure everybody got the message, don't get on my bad side.

I saw some guy raised their hand.

"I like asparagus." He stated.

"Well..what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked, grimincing at the thought of viel vegetable.

"Well, some people might actually like it," He said, crossing his arms. His black hair all nice and done like a rich boy. His grey eyes glaring at me.

"Some people might like it, but every wonder about the other people that aren't the 'some'?" I retorted. He remained quiet, probably wondering about the non-somes.

"Who here hates or dislikes asparagus, raise their hand." I raised my hand and saw most of the majority hated it too, "If this many people in the class hates asparagus, what about the majority of the rest of the world?"

"But this is only our class, what about the other classes? Most of them might not agree with you. And the world is the world, they decide wheather or not they like asparagus or not, and there are more people, our class is just a class, you can't compare it to the world," He said.

"True, but..." I turned to the teacher and asked for a small piece of paper and pen. She handed me some, quite amused by our conversation, and I wrote something down and walked in front of a person in one of the front desks.

"Say the first vegetable that comes to your head...NOW!" I yelled the first part. He stammered a bit.

"Carrots." I held out the piece of paper. I was a bit surprised after we were talking about asparagus for a few minutes.

"Ninty percent of the world says carrots!" I exclaimed. I was grinning at my childness.

"This has nothing to do with what we were talking about," The grey eyed boy stated. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course not, I just needed an excuse to get out of that stupid conversation. Did you even realize we were fighting over a stupid subject? Asparagus?" I eyed him oddly. Actually, my brain just shut down, and I didn't know how to counter that.

The bell rang, indicating it was second period. Talk about perfect timing.

"OK class, we shall continue probably in homeroom tomorrow morning, now line up to go to the auditorium," Sensei Umigan said. Everyone else got out of their desks and lined up, I stayed at the back of the line.

"Hey Talis?" I turned around and met Jas and Mokuba.

"What was that about?" Jas asked me.

"I just don't like asparagus." I grinned sheepishly.

"But to go through a arguement like that?" Mokuba looked at me oddly.

"Um...I wouldn't call it an arguement, but more of a friendly disagreement," I smiled.

"Uh...Talis?" Jas pointed behind me and I saw the line disappear.

"Hey! Wait for us!" I ran after them, catching up with my class, Mokuba and Jas were right behind me.

-Normal POV-

The class entered the auditorium and went to where their class sat.

"Gods, how many people go to this school?" Talis asked Jas who was sitting next to her as she glanced around the auditorium.

"A good sum of one thousand," Jas answered.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Talis turned to him.

"Of course I am, I think around half that," Jas replied.

"That's still a lot of people," Talis said.

"Well, it's a big school, what do you expect?" Jas asked.

"I wish that they didn't let us wear these stupid uniforms, you guys don't have it so bad, but mine is...pink," Talis twitched.

"Good morning students and teachers! Welcome sophmores and welcome back juniors and seniors! Some of you may know me, I am Principal Yukami. Today we have a few announcements: the girls volleyball team try outs will be next Tuesday, boy's will be next Wednesday, I expect some winning teams this year," Talis rolled her eyes at the principle's expectations.

"We have a new gym teacher this year, Sensei Reviaski," All eyes turned to a well-built woman with curly black hair, "In the past last year, we have had some complaints about the girl's school uniform and how the skirts were too short in the winter and the sleeves on the blazers were to tight and too long for the summer, so we have designed new uniforms for the girls-"

'YES!' Talis screamed in her mind. She heard some groans.

'Probably sluts or some of the guys,' Talis snickered, 'too bad.' Principal Yukami brought out a manniquin with a blue blazer, blue skirt and a pink bow-tie. Talis twitched again.

'No. More. Stinking. PINK!' Talis yelled in her mind.

Jas was looking at the girl nervously because of how she looks very scary when she twitches, while Mokuba was leaning back on his chairs, legs and arms crossed looking bored.

After the assembly, everybody went to their newly assigned lockers they got in the morning and headed for lunch either in the cafeteria or outside the courtyard. Talis was walking around outside when she spotted a cherry blossom tree and sat under the shade. After Talis finished eating, she closed her eyes for a brief moment before someone's voice spoke next to her,

"Mind if I join you?" She turned to see Mokuba standing there, his wild hair blowing in the light breeze.

"Sure, where's Jas?" Talis asked Mokuba. Mokuba shrugged.

"No clue, he started ditching me today, so I decided to hang with you," Talis rolled her eyes.

"I feel so lucky to be a second choice. I thought you would have more friends since you're so popular," Talis said.

"I do, but you're new," Mokuba explained.

"Blah, blah! Let me guess, eventually we become friends and then you use me in some way, homework wise or...something else," Talis glared at Mokuba. She didn't trust him right away like she did with Jas. Mokuba looked taken back.

"Hello, I'm not going to use you in some way! Why would you think that? I'm making an effort to be your friend and you're just giving me the cold shoulder!" Mokuba nearly yelled. Talis looked a bit startled, she didn't trust people easily, unless her gut says so. Talis looked down at her hands that was in her lap.

"Sorry Mokuba, it's just...let's just say I haven't had good experiences with your type," Talis gave a faint smile.

"My type?" Mokuba looked a little confused.

"The rich type, people are famous or acts like it," Talis explained.

"Don't be such a sterotype, Talis. Those people are different from everyone at this school...except for Yu-sing," Mokuba said.

"Yu-sing?"

"The guy you argued with about asparagus," Mokuba noticed Talis twitch,

"You seriously hate it, don't you?" Talis shook her head.

"Nope, I DESPISE IT! IT IS THE MOST FOUL THING ON THIS EARTH!" Talis exclaimed.

"Gosh, you must really hate it," Mokuba said with a sweatdrop.

"DESPISE!" Talis said, her eyes flaring.

"OK! Despise! Happy?" Mokuba asked the fiery girl next to him.

"Content," Talis layed back against the tree trunk. Talis stood up and looked at the sun.

"Hot?" Talis turned around to face Mokuba,

'Gods...where did her angelic, glowing skin come from?' He thought.

"I know a place where we can get some great smoothies if you're up for it." Mokuba said.

"Ooh! That sounds great! Are you sure we have enough time to get there, have a smoothie and come back?" Talis cocked a head to one side.

"Er...we'll get a smoothie and have it on our way back," Talis knealed down and grabbed Mokuba's arm.

"So let's go!" She pulled him and ran out the front gates of the school.

ABF: OK! First chapter done! No clue what I just wrote, R&R!
