Chapter 1: Poor kid

The ring of the bell and dismissal from the teacher had students valeting from their seats and gathering their things, eagerly to meet with friends and gossip or to play a round of basketball before recess would end and classes would start again. But one of the students was just glad to get a moment of breath between classes. When they said the classes were a bit harder then in America they weren't kidding. Isabella Johnson thought with a snicker to herself. It was her first year in Japan and at Domino High after spending most of her life in America.

Shrugging the foreign student stood, Emiko from class 1-B had mentioned she was bringing some of the charms from her grandfather's shrine to show Isabella and some of the other girls. But as the class began to file out she seen one of the tall boy twirling a basketball in his hand as he turned back. "Hey Yugi, don't you want to play some basketball instead of sitting in here alone?" He asked of the tri-colored haired boy only two rows from you as he worked on some kind of game.

The smaller student honsently looked surprised. "I'm fine." He replied, then looked sheepish. "Every team I join just looses anyway." He muttered, seeming more to himself then his much taller classmate.

The brunette blinked then nodded. "Right." He replied, obviously remembering a few times that comment had come true before he shrugged and turned after some of the others, calling to them to wait up.

Isabella frowned slightly, watching Yugi sighed before big through his bag. Poor kid. He seems sweet. If not a little too quiet for his own good. But then a girl struck her head in the doorway, reveling herself to be Emiko. "Come on Isa-chan!" She urged as the called girl shook off her thoughts and followed the Japanese girl outside. She would later notice that Yugi never did join anyone outside. Poor kid.
