Oh yeah!

One Too Many

Summary: They would feel a flutter as she walked and talked to them. She never seems to notice their feelings but would their friendship break if they began to argue… over her? (Téa-centered)

Chapter 1: Ponder

They couldn't stop staring…

The way she held her eyes closed. The thin strip of chocolate brown hair that dangled along her cream colored cheek made a flutter. The way she held herself, while resting her head down.

Their gazes never torn…

Sleep had taken over her as she sat there in the Domino High library away from her male friends. Countless books were stacked in their respective shelves. The very afternoon slowly drifted, the bell never rang in the corridors.

Azure, amethyst, hazel, and the like continued to gaze at the girl, they call friend.

She had decided to take it among herself to study alone. The males of the group let her be sitting in a different table slightly across from her. Other students piled in, a couple of murmurs had leaked and the girl that had left had fallen asleep never to be bothered.

She never noticed their gaze as her lids slowly dripped. The blue in her eyes hazed from exhaustion. Homework forgotten she decided to lay her head down the pencil she had held was pushed aside.

No one took account on how long she had slept. They just fixed their colored eyes, never noting the other gazes of some student. They had their arm prompted up in a day-dreaming fashion. Eyes were distance, their lips had slightly parted.

A student had walked up from behind their friend as he began to tap the girl awake. This causes the eyes to narrow. A boy with dark brown hair and glasses had awoken the girl from her dreams. They watched her slowly sit up; her blue began to show as she tilted.

Words couldn't be heard but they clearly saw the smile on their faces. A wipe of her sleeve they saw a shade of pink light up on her feature, her bangs had begun to shelter. A small laugh, they watched the boy walk away from her while she waved to him as he exited the room. He too had waved back.

They had frowned…

Her brown hair stuck then fanned on either side while she turned back to her work, a raised a brow followed by a pout. They chuckled at her expression noting how cute she was looking that way. It never occurred to them till now, of course… they watched her shuffle her paper then saw her stuff them in her binder. Stacking the books she had checked out she stood and slung her bag over her shoulder.

As they, continued to watch…

Pushing in her seat when she raised out of her place, the girl picked up her textbooks not without glancing at her watch. They watched her swore under her breath; thus causing a few eyebrows to rise. She picked her stack up gently and began to cross in their direction.

The, they had consisted of her friends and not so friends…

"Yugi, Joey," the girl made it to them her hands slightly full.

The two boys locked gazes with her the look still on their faces.

"H-hey," the young teen seemed to snap of out it first.

She lightly giggled and pointed at her watch. "I can't make it to the shop with you guys today. I have dance practice coming up. I'm sorry…" she replied with an apologetic look on her face.

Her friend quickly waved at her in understanding. "It's alright. I understand," he raised his hands up but saw her shake her head at him.

"No it's not. I've been blowing the both of you off," a sudden thought came into mind. "So, I'm gonna make it up to," she laid a hand over her left breast in a sort of peace offering.

This caused them to look at where her hand is placed.

Her watch began to beep as she flinted. They heard her swore again.

"I-uh… gotta go," she quickly heaved her books in her arms.

They suddenly noticed how heavy the large amount of textbooks she was carrying.

"Téa do ya need any help?" Joey rose as he offered the girl some assistance; some cursed the boy who asked her first.

Her hair shook as she gave a cheeky grin. "Thanks but no thanks Joey," she did a little twirl, like many girls do, making her way towards the exit. "I'll talk to ya later," she waved disappearing in to the hall.

The blonde stood there, her form still in his mind. A couple of chairs were pushed out as the other remaining students began to filter out of the room, in a moment's time no less.

The azure belonged to Seto Kaiba…

Color formed amethyst in which it resides in Yugi Muto and Malik Ishtar…

Hazel towards the boy with white, Ryou Bakura and the other, Joey Wheeler…

One other was made with emerald held within Duke Devlin…

They all steered away from one another heading out the same way until the sound of the girl they seemed to admire broke their stare. They stilled watching her talk to someone. The someone was also one of her male friends. They watched her shake her head at him with a smile on and quickly turned waving at him in the same fashion she did with them.

Atemu Muto… gazed still watching her go… his head slightly tilted, a small raise of his arm dipped.

The older brother of Yugi Muto and fans with the other girls in school began to turn. He stood a bit dumbstruck with the other males in school standing there, watching him. He silently nodded to them, they too returned the gesture. Some time passed, the school bell rang. Atemu then motioned to Yugi as he bid them farewell.

Yugi and Joey looked at one another and said their good-byes to the rest of the teen males. The two fell into step and walked out leaving the others to gawk at their stance. They soon took action a couple of steps away from the Muto brothers and Wheeler.

They began to think…

The girl formed in their minds. Over the years that they've known her she was one of the girls that didn't really stuck out like most girls. She wasn't one to wear revealing clothes or make-up… Not one to catch a guy's attention… And she's not one to brag about her life or to act all clingy towards her friends…

She was the type of girl who managed to do things her own way… Was one to help a friend out in need… Maybe be afraid to show her tears… The girl was stable… The girl had her own thoughts and opinions… Her own dreams… The way her blue eyes would hold strong… The thin line of her lips would always perk up at the corner of her mouth… She would sometimes act silly… and try to make people laugh… She would even hold up fist when it comes to courting her friends in front of others…

Téa Gardner just had that sort of spark in her… That sparks of HOPE… and they hope she never changed that…

You may call her annoying, but they would never listen… You may call her ugly, but they would reply 'you know you're jealous' with a smirk on their face… You may even say 'it would never work out' heading deep, but they would declare 'we'll manage…' in short simple words… You can even be cross and reply 'she may never love you,' but they'll counter that, the words clear as day, 'I'll still love her…'

They may not know her clearly well but she's their friend… Their friend with many emotions… Their friend that could stand up to others… Their friend in which they l o v e

It may be stupid and unwise to say that they l o v e her, but they do… She gave them a second chance… some still has their first…

All they can do is ponder…

Ponder about the future…

Ponder about their lives…

And ponder…

…If they were ever going to make it throughout their high school years together…

It began to get deep… going on to…

Without…

Without breaking each others heart out…

Then heading in to questions… they were afraid to have answered…

Would she accept them…?

Would she accept one of them…?

Would she accept the words?

Or worse…

Would she laugh at their faces when she responds…?

They mentally shook their heads, thinking negative of the girl. She's their friend… She would never do that… So that only leaves three of the four questions that pondered in their minds as they exited out of the building…

A stuck of rain fell from the endless sky above as they looked up. A bolt of lighting, a clap of thunder… They held their composure and walked out the gate, some had rides others walked off trailing the walk with their bags gripped on their shoulders as they bid a final farewell.

One by one tiny pellets fell, but they never seemed to have noticed. The clouds gathered the rain slowly dropped as it became heavy. The autumn season swayed with wind and the three boys continued their walk.

Their ponderings got the best of them when they neared the bus that was parked on the curb…

All of them stopped from their respectful places…

Either in their seats or just standing in the middle of the sidewalk…

The same thoughts crossed all their minds…

Some may be cold-hearted…

Some may be in a gang…

Some may be innocent…

And some may be the same…

It crossed and then flared.

The words leaked in to a full sentence… coming into a conclusion…

'I'm gonna ask her out…'

END CHAPTER 1

Yoku: Whoo!! And that was the end of that! It was hard and difficult to tie in some words together but at least it ended how I wanted it to end… I think… hope that wasn't too confusing with the they, but it will be explained more on who they are. Course I did add in names but there are others.

Yes Atemu is in this story. He has his own body as well as the rest of the yamis… haven't decided if I wanted to add in their Egyptian names or not and Yami Marik is going to be bit hard to rename… or I could just leave it as is.

For shame…I wanted this chapter to be longer but I didn't know what else to type… As for the plot… erm… yeah… not sure… So please people! I need help, if you want me to continue! I would really appreciate the advice.

Sorry for the lack of dialogue but it wasn't really necessary in this first chapter… like I said didn't know what to write (:P) Also sorry for any grammar and or spelling that will be taken place. As for OOC…

Please read and review!! (no flames please)
