Ask Joey Wheeler

Chapter 1: Lots of Email

Gee, this is kinda cool…helping people out and all that. I now have my own 'Ask Joey Wheeler' sorta thing, and I'm gettin' dozens of mail at this moment. People are askin' me questions rapidly and the sort, and I gotta answer. Well, it all started yesterday, Friday, in class…

"Okay, we need someone to answer students questions in this school. We are gather a candidate from each class in all the grades of our high school. There will be a voting, and then that person will have their own page in the school newspaper where you answer peoples questions. Anyone want to make a suggestion for someone who may be good in this class?" Tea Gardner asked, looking around at everyone.

A few people shouted out random names of the class, then Yugi raised his hand and suggested myself. "Joey would be great, he's not really that good with his own feelings, but he's really good with helping us out with our feelings." He replied referring to our small group of friends. Tea was smiling.

"Who thinks Joey would be a good candidate for this part in the news?" She asked. Everyone except Kaiba had their hand up. Go figure. Rich boy had his nose in a book, ignoring everything going on around him. So it was settled, I'd be entering this little voting thing for the Ask Someone thing in the news paper thing. Should be loads of fun if I win…

Yeah, loads of fun. I have a lot of mail…

Dear Joey,

Congratulations! I'm so happy you got this. I have a question though, how do you deal with telling off guy who's been making moves on you? I mean, I don't want to hurt his feelings, but if I don't do something soon, he's going to think I like him! What should I do?

-Desperate

Hmm…gotta think about dis one for a minute. I suddenly think of something and type rapidly.

Desperate-

Only thing I can really say is give him a note. It may suppress his pain better if you do it through writing than in his face. Tell him that you like him, but not like that, as a friend. Then you can be friends instead of trying to avoid him like it sounds like you're doing.

-Joey

Yup. Dat sounds good! I'm so proud of myself! Okay, next email…

Joey,

I'm trouble with school and teachers, friends and family, and everything else, all because of my girlfriends ways. I love her a lot, but because of the trouble she gets into and how 'busy' she keeps me, I can't concentrate on anything! And I've been getting into lots of fights, especially with my friends and family. What should I do?

-AC27

More love stuff. Gee, I wish I could find love. I know how to answer this one though!

AC27,

I can see you care for her a lot. How about you confront her on your troubles. You can't stop the problems unless you do something about it. Don't be afraid to confront her. If your problems don't end their, as much as I hate to say this, dump her. You can't risk your future and friends and family like that for a girl you've only known for as long as you've gone out with her, which I doubt is longer than you've known your family. Hope I was of help to you!

-Joey

I yawn. This is tiring stuff. Next mail.

Dear Joey,

I'm having this problem with kids from the elementary school picking on my little sis. I don't have any parents to take care of this problem, and I've confronted the principle many times on this subject. I don't know what to do now.

-chalentsis

I grin. I know exactly how to answer this one! Go Joey- I cheer myself on! I'm so good!

Chalentsis-

I've had this problem before. First, try confronting these meddling brats, and if that doesn't work, I myself would beat the living shit out of them. Fighting's bad, but when no can do anything about it that's what'd I'd resolve to. Though, if talking to the kids doesn't work, I'd contact the parents before beating the snot out of the kids. Besides, it's kinda mean to pick on little kids…

-Joey

Well, that one is definitely not going in the newspaper. I kinda cursed and offered that they should beat a kid up. Not good at all. Okay, one more email and that's it for the day.

Joey,

How would you tell someone you make fun of everyday that you had feelings for them? I myself surprisingly enough have no idea how to handle this one so I decided to ask you…which I am doing right now. God, I sound like you. *scowls to self* I don't know how to tell this person without getting literally laughed. Perhaps you can help.

-Blue Eyes

I stare at the mail for a moment. This one's a bit harder.

Blue Eyes-

Erm, this is the hardest question I've stumbled across so far. Approach this person and look them straight in the eyes, and be as serious as possible. Then tell them your feelings, and if they laugh, it's their loss. Erm…well, if they laugh, tell them again, and try to be more serious. If you make fun of this guy, tough luck, this might be harder than you thought. Try to lay of your insults before you approach this person about you feelings. Hope I was of service ta ya!

-Joey

Love stinks. I can't get the stinking guy I like. And I still can't believe I'm gay. I sorta found out last week. Gah, I hate Kaiba with a passion. A loving passion…grr, I hate dat guy's guts, he makes me sick…both love sick and disgustingly sick. What an oxymoron. I don't know whether to kick him or kiss him. I guess I'll kick him, since he could never love me. Oh well, enough thoughts for now, time for bed! Cozy bed, here I come! Er…after I clean up dis place before dad gets home…I wince at the bad memories of beatings from my father. Clean up, make a dash for my room, sleep, wake up early, escape the house to school. Sounds like the general schedule. I skip of to do my dirty work…

Well, that's the first chappie! Hope y'all enjoyed it! Please R&R!!! ^_^
