A/N: First of all, I'm still writing "It's My Life". This is just something I started writing like a week ago (I had this idea and I doodled around with it and came up with this) and I decided just to publish it. I might pick it up later on after I finish IML, or whatever. Who knows. Sooo, yeah. ^.^ Hope you like it!

Entry 1

Some days are normal.

Some days I go to school, take tests, chat with my friends, go home and do homework, fight with my mom, and then I go to bed.

Those days are nice. Acing algebra benchmarks, hanging out with Yugi, Joey, and Tristan, going home to a pile of homework and a stressed-out mom with a "so-and-so dumped me again" story that I have to sit through. Knowing that I, Tea Gardner, CAN be a normal teenage girl.

But then of course, other days, aren't so normal.

Like today for instance.

It was picture day at school. So I wore something cute. A light blue halter top and white skinny jeans. I did my makeup extra flirty. I even painted my nails pink, just for the heck of it.

Anyway, it started off as what appeared to be a pretty normal day. I woke up to the sound of the fire alarm because mom had accidentally set the pancakes on fire (trust me, this is normal). After cleaning up the mess and making the pancakes myself, I walked to school with my friends Joey and Serenity, who live in my neighborhood, like I do every day.

I did some worksheets, aced a few tests, ate lunch with my best friends (Yugijoeytristan) and read a speech out loud for Speech class. Normal, normal, normal.

Then it was time for the Juniors to get their pictures taken.

There I was, standing in line. I think I was messing with my hair, trying to brush it out with my fingers or something. We were all in the library, in three separate lines, walking up to get our pictures taken for the Yearbook. I was in the line on the far left. The guy in front of me smiled for his picture. CLICK. He left, the lady called out, "Next!"

And that's when it happened.

The wall on the far right of the library EXPLODED, and there was a 16 year old platinum-haired Egyptian on a giant black DRAGON (cough-duel monster-cough), and when everyone in the library started screaming and running away as fast as possible, platinum-boy snapped his fingers, three guys in purple robes jumped off the dragon and surrounded me, and before I knew it I was out cold.

Kidnapped. By Marik.

But that was just today. And it was the least painful kidnapping this month, actually.

On the 2nd, I was kidnapped by Pegasus, and he actually had the nerve to order his goon to hit me in the face to knock me unconscious Boy, did he get what was coming to him, that's for sure.

Let's just say he won't be needing any shampoo or hair conditioner for a while... And he's the one who left his scissors lying around, so technically it's his own fault.

Let's see... On the 15th it was Bakura. He kidnapped me in the middle of a shopping spree, which sucked for him because then he had to endure me complaining about that supercute pink blouse that I DIDN'T get to buy the whole time we were waiting for me to be rescued. It was actually pretty funny, watching him bang his head on the wall over and over again.

Oh, and then on the 19th it was Kaiba. Which was a new low for him, because he's technically not even a bad guy, so he doesn't even DO kidnapping! But he did anyway, because he has an enemy.

What him, Bakura, Pegasus, and Marik all have in common is that they share the same enemy.

One guy.

Yami.

The complete and total idiot that I hate.

Yami.

The reason that I get kidnapped every other weekend. The reason I can't be a normal girl with a normal life.

The reason is a guy who looks like a hunky teenage hair-stylist, but is actually a who-knows-how-old Pharaoh from Egypt who was stuck in a necklace for a couple of centuries.

Okay, okay, it was more then just a necklace. It was a Millenium Item.

It's a really, really long story and to be honest I don't feel like writing all of it down. So here's the abridged version:

Yugi's grandpa found the necklace with Yami's soul in it and after that Yugi and Yami shared a body and they, me, Joey, and Tristan and I went on these crazy magical adventures together that still don't make sense to me now.

Oh, and Yami acquired many enemies a long the way, many of which still hold grudges and can't let go of the past.

Yami has his own body now (a long with fellow old-spirit-guy Bakura) and he is now going to school and working a job like a normal teenager.

Hmf.

I, however, still have to deal with his crap. Because for some reason Yami's enemies seem to think that him and I at one point had a romantic fling (a total complete utter LIE), and so now wherever I go they kidnap me, hoping it'll tempt him to come rescue me, where they will be waiting, ready to challenge him to a duel.

Yes. A duel.

This whole endeavor is about a card game.

A children's card game.

This is why I can't have a normal life.

This is why I get kidnapped every other week.

This is why I brokeup with Yam- uhh, erm, I mean, cough cough just keep reading please...

THIS is why we can't have nice things.

SO, I am siting here, in the penthouse of a hotel, writing in the diary Marik gave me and waiting to (sigh) be rescued by Yami.

(That was a frustrated sigh, by the way.)

It's a routine gig, and I will never be sick of it.

Because I was already sick of it a long time ago.

A/N: Huzzaaaaah! :D Pretty strange huh? So was it good, bad, weird? Tell me what ya think! ^.^
