A/N: This is my first ever Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic, so PLEASE go easy on me. Flames accepted, just as long as they make sense. (Don't you hate it when flames make no sense what so ever?)

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.

A pencil scratched across a piece of paper, forming a shape of a face. The pencil turned on its side as it shaded the face in. A steady hand held the pencil as it drew one eye, then another. Frustration filled the girl who was drawing, and then she crumpled the paper into a ball.

Tea Gardner leaned back in the plastic chair, her dark hair fanning the side of her face. She hated math class. Even though the teacher was kind to her and helped her when ever she could, the class was just plain annoying.

There was constant talking, yelling, laughing and fighting in Mrs. Turner's 8th grade math class. What made it even worse was that Tea's worst enemy was in that class. Sharona Fields was the most annoying, inconsiderate, mean, and irresponsible person Tea had ever known. She had straight brown hair with natural blonde streaks and a crooked nose. She only liked people who fit her standards and if they didn't, she hated them, eve if they had never met.

Luckily, there was one person who mad math class fun.

Tea looked over her shoulder (while the teacher was explaining the Pythagorean Theorem or something like that) and smiled at her friend. Yugi smiled. Tea grabbed a piece of paper from her loose-leaf and wrote:

Hey Yugi,

Who cares about the Pythagorean Theorem? Not me. Just drew a new piece. Totally ruined it. The eyes are all uneven, the shading is all wrong…and…yeah.

-Tea

Tea slid it across the floor, and Yugi caught it with his Converse-sneaker covered foot, read it, and grinned at Tea. Tea grinned back. While Yugi wrote, Tea tried to pay attention. As usual, she had no such luck. She felt the note touch her sneakers. She opened it:

Tea—

Personally, I don't really care about it either. Even though it sounds cool, when Mrs. Turner explains it, it gets all confusing.

How did you wreck your drawing? Let me see it.

-Yugi

Tea groaned, then gave Yugi a look as if to say 'Do I HAVE too?' Yugi nodded. Tea unfolded the paper ball and wrote back:

Y-

Here. See how ugly it is?!

-T

She handed the note and drawing to Yugi, and, totally ignoring Mrs. Turner now, she watched Yugi's reaction. He looked surprised when he saw the drawing. He wrote back, then handed the drawing back to her.

T-

This isn't bad at all. This looks like a true artist drew it. Don't be so hard on yourself. It looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. AMAZING. We better stop writing now. Mrs. Turner will find out.

-Y

Tea rolled her eyes, but grinned all the same.

When the bell rang, (math was the last period of the day) Tea grabbed her Purple and Pink plaid backpack, and ran out of the classroom. She ran down to her locker.

"37….20…..48." she mumbled. With a little clink from the lock, her locker opened. Tea grabbed the stuff she needed from the locker, closed it, and, while putting on her coat, spotted the unmistakable back of Joey's head.

"Hey, Joey! Tristan! Yugi! Wait up!"

The three boys turned around and grinned when they saw who was yelling. Tea caught up to them.

"Hey Tea." Tristan said smiling at her as Tea grabbed her iPod from her coat pocket. She turned it on, then sighed with glee.

"This is my favorite song." She started dancing in the hallways, singing the chorus as the boys cheered. Then she noticed that they were motioning for her to stop. Of course, Tea ignored them. Soon she felt herself falling and tripping on top of Sharona.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, freak!" Sharon stood up, brushed the dirt off her tube top, and glared at her.

"Sorry," Tea said as Yugi helped her up. "I didn't see where I was going."

"Well, of course you didn't! Being a show-off in the halls…gees…some people…." Sharona mumbled as she stomped off.

"Gees, what a jerk." Joey said as Tea dusted the dirt off her butt. She really didn't mean too.

"She's such a... (Tea said some very unkind words here.)"

"Hey Yugi?" Tristan said as they walked out the double doors and out into the shivering weather.

"Yeah?" Yugi asked.

"You know…there's a school talent show coming up."

"So?"

"Maybe you should sing." Everyone was quiet for a moment, and then Joey and Tea burst out laughing. Heck, Tea had to hang on to a pole to stop from keeling over. Tristan frowned.

"I'm serious. Yugi has a great voice." Joey wiped the tears from his eyes, and said

"Oh, yeah? Then how come he's never sang for us before?" Everyone looked at Yugi. He blushed.

"I don't know….I guess I'm a little stage fright." Tea put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, I totally understand. Why don't you come over to my house tonight?" Yugi smiled.

"I'd like that." Just then, Tea noticed her bus was about to leave.

"Oh Shucks!" she turned around to them. "Hey I'll see you guys later! Yugi, I'll see you tonight!" Then Tea ran to catch her bus.
