Chapter 1: Nerd Alert
In a large house recently rented in Domino city; a family of two is settling in their new home.
On the second floor a girl with long dark brown hair is tossing and turning in bed, fighting off clowns in her dreams. Her body becoming tangled in the covers, she clutches her pillow as she mumbles "Make-up wearing freaks"
Something in her dream made her jump and she woke up in a cold sweat, she sat up and ran her hand through her thin hair. Morning finally, took it long enough she looked at the calendar Lovely it's Saturday, perfect time to sit around the house and do absolutely nothing.
As if on que her mother yelled up the staircase for her "Tara! Get your lazy butt up and dressed."
-Tara's P.O.V.-
I groaned at my mother's demand, but I did as I was told. I threw on my cream colored shorts and my pink tank top, I threw on my zebra print scarf and flower pendant, and slipped on my white tennis shoes. I straightened my hair and let it hang on my shoulders.
I looked in my mirror and thought bitterly I look so pudgy, why can't I be skinnier. My head hung low for a minute, but it passed when I put on my black thick framed glasses. I freaked out Nerd alert, Major nerd alert. Oh man only I could make these look geeky.
Soon my head was even lower, but the call of pancakes broke my mood. I smiled anyway and walked downstairs calmly so that I didn't fall, being a klutz does not help me on stairs.
"Good morning honey, how are you." Mom said chipper while sipping coffee.
"I'm alright just a little bored that's all, and of course still adjusting to the whole language thing. It's not every day you switch from one language to another." I retorted
"Well you'll get used to it, and if you're bored go outside or something, make some friends." she suggested
I smiled at her, she knew I wasn't a very social person. I wasn't very good at talking to people, especially when I looked like a doofus.
"Thanks, but no thanks mom, I'm just going to hang here all day." I said in plain refusal.
She smiled and had the face that meant she was up to something "Very well then I can sit here with you and tell you stories from my childhood, with my brothers and…." She stopped, she had said everything she had needed to say.
Tara was off faster than mouse at a cat convention. When she was extremely far from home she stopped and walked around.
Man there are way too many people around here, easy to get lost I guess. Well for anyone but me, I've never gotten lost in my life. I thought wile jamming my hands into my pockets.
Lucky for me I had thrown a book into my bag before she left; now all I had to do was find a spot to sit and I could be at peace.
I spotted a bench under a tree where I could be relaxed; I took the spot on the far left and pulled out a history biography on some ancient rulers.
I wasn't very deep into my reading because I was distracted by the group of kids about my age heading this way. They were all smiling and laughing, I looked down. It must be nice to have friends like that, not that I would know anyway…
I looked up again and there was some girl with brown hair, a boy with brown hair who was really tall Well compared to me almost everyone is tall, There was another boy who had blonde hair and a goofy look on his face, and finally there was a boy with strange hair Red, black, and blonde, and I thought I looked strange he had a weird looking necklace, it was a pyramid that was upside down.
I looked down so that they might not notice me; I was nervous and freaked that they might actually see me. I was trying to control myself but my "gift" got the better of me. The blonde boy tripped and fell forward right in front of me.
The others came running up and picked him off the ground.
"Are you ok Joey?" The smaller boy with the weird hair exclaimed
"Yeah I'm awright Yug, no problems here" He said rubbing his nervously
The brunette boy walked around in front of him and said "You really should watch where you're going Joey" in a condescending, matter-of-fact tone.
I could see the blonde boy getting angry "Oh shut it Tristan, I was watching where I was going. So don't make me come up there!"Joey yelled.
I could only look down at my book and whisper "hothead" under my breath, I laughed a little at my own remark. I thought no one even noticed me there, but the girl looked at me with her deep blue eyes and said "Hi there, sorry about Joey. He falls all the time, so don't worry about him" She smiled and I didn't look up, I think it agitated her.
"Uh, hello, girl in glasses, anyone home?" The blonde haired boy said as they all started looking at me. I looked up this time and muttered nervously "You were talking to me?"
They nodded and I said "sorry I wasn't paying any attention." I smiled shyly in order to get them to stop looking at me weird but it didn't help. The blonde hair boy got up instantly and sat beside me and said "Well the names Joey Wheeler, duelist extraordinaire" I smiled as the girl walked in front of him and said "Stop bugging her Joey, you're making the poor girl nervous."
He looked at me and said "sorry just thought you were one cute bookworm" I blushed instantly and retreated into my book. I could hear The girl scolding Joey.
The girl smiled though and looked at me as she said "Well I'm Tea, you've already met Joey, the tall tough guy is Tristan, and..." She was interrupted by Joey "And that tri-colored shrimp is Yugi" Yugi looked annoyed at Joey but turned to face me and said "Hi, nice to meet you."
Just as I was about to introduce myself I heard my phone ring, I looked at it and said "It's my mom, one minute please?" they nodded as I answered the phone and my mom began speaking. I added simple "Yes m'am" and "Alright" and topped it off with an "I'll be there in a minute."
I looked up at them nervously, not sure what to say "Umm… I'm sorry but, I have to go right now and register for school. Please excuse me…"I scooted around the boys and turned to leave when Tea called out "What school are you going to?" I yelled back simply "I don't know"
I waved goodbye and took off running home….
-A few minutes later back at home-
"I'm home mom!" I yelled and she answered back "Hi honey" I ran into the kitchen to join her.
"How was your little walk around Domino?" I didn't feel like giving details so I vaguely said "Good."
She didn't seem to like my answer, but she didn't press the matter either. "Well I got you registered at Domino high school. And I picked up your uniform and schedule."
I looked at her questionably "And you needed me here why?" Because if I didn't, I'm not sure you'd come back." My mother said jokingly, I sighed, but she was probably right.
I smiled at her anyway and decided to retire to my room and to another night of frights in my dreams. I rested on my bed not even bothering to change my clothes. I fell asleep instantly.
Sunday went by fairly quickly, my mother was downstairs preparing my bag for school, she insisted that I relax today, so I goofed around in my room. Doing something I knew would not make my mom happy if she saw. I was practicing my gift, I don't really mean gift, I mean curse. It doesn't do anything but mess with me.
Ever since I was five, I could use my gift. Not so much use it as much as I knew it was there. My Father had become so scared that he ran off, leaving me and mom behind, Mom doesn't want to admit it but she is scared of it too. She instructed me to never use it again, so that no one else would be scared of it. Truth was that I could use….. Shut up! I commanded myself don't think about it stupid, you're only going to make it worse for yourself. I reminded myself but I couldn't resist.
I used it to turn the TV on and off, move things off my desk over to my bed, throw books across the room if I was angry enough.
I got bored with it eventually (Yes even freaks get bored with their "Gifts" at some point) and started debating whether or not she thought Taylor Launtner was smexy.
And yes, he very much is. XD
The day was ending quickly so I took my shower and had dinner and returned to my room. I opened the door and walked into my room, and I ended up kicking my desk by accident "OUCH! Holy shift, mother function"
After calming down and relaxing myself, I wandered over to my bed and laid down, I slowly fell asleep and the dreaming began.
My eyes opened again and I was in a palace of some sort, it looked old compared to what I was used to. It kinda looked like something off the history channel. I looked at myself; my fair skin had darkened immensely and I was no longer in my modern clothes. I was now adorned in a brown long skirt and a belly shirt (Ironic, don't you think so) I had jewels covering me and small crown that fit my head. I was listening to the ramble going on before me, careful not to speak.
"My pharaoh, this man was caught stealing from several merchants all through the city. Taking many amounts of food and similar items."
The man did not look up, he kept his head in the bowing position, for some reason I felt sad for him and wished I could help. Yet, I remained silent because I still had no knowledge of where I was. I turned to look beside me but I could not see the face of the pharaoh himself.
He spoke in a voice I did not recognize "It doesn't sound like he has done anything bad just trying to feed himself, possibly someone else as well."
I saw the man perk up as well, he looked at the pharaoh with kind eyes, I saw no evil in them. "Send him home safely, I see he has done nothing horrible, so why punish him like he has."
The man bowed to the pharaoh and said thank you like a million times, he left the throne room, and me alone with the pharaoh. "Do you think I did the right thing Aurora?" I nodded and said in voice that wasn't mine "I sensed no evil from him, only sadness, and respect for you."
He smiled "I suppose so, you are such a wise soul." I felt myself smile as well. "Even as wise as the great pharaoh himself." I teased playfully, he returned it with another smile though I couldn't see his face.
I woke up again and in the middle of the night. I was confused about my dream, "I really need to stop dreaming about history. No wonder people think I'm a nerd." I laughed to myself.
I tried to relax as I laid my head down again, not even noticing my pendant was shining….
OK not bad for a start, but I need some interesting ideas please! I would appreciate it big time. I would big time love it please….=^.^=
