Don't Dance In The Rain
Ch.1 Meeting.
Ryo sat quietly at his desk. He was trying to complete his homework from the night before, but he found it nearly impossible to concentrate. Especially since his classmates were chattering excitedly about…..something.
"Hey Ryo." A voice called. Ryo gulped it was Usagi, the school bully "You get my homework done yet?"
"Yes Usagi-san, it's right here in my bag." Ryo said meekly, holding the papers out to Usagi. Usagi snatched them out of his hand "This better get me an 'A' twerp!" He threatened walking to his desk. Ryo looked down into his lap. It was like this almost everyday. Mr. Fujiyama walked into the class and said "Okay class settle down, we have a new student joining us today" he gestured toward a tall boy with long white hair, very much like Ryo's own, except his was spikier….wilder. Ryo couldn't stop looking at two spikes near the top of the boys head. They look like horns. He thought. The boys lazy brown eyes passed over the class. It might have been his imagination, but Ryo thought they lingered on him for a split second.
"Class," Mr. Fujiyama continued, "This is Bakura, would anyone like to volunteer to show him around?" All the girls in the class raised their hands anxiously. Ryo slouched low in to his seat.
"Okay, How bout Ryo. Ryo will you please stand up?" Ryo slowly stood up. He felt the classes eyes boring into him. He gulped.
"Would you like to tell the class a little about yourself?" Mr. Fujiyama asked Bakura. Bakura looked at the class though his sleepy half closed eyes. "Not really." he said in a low voice.
"Okay then please take the empty seat beside Ryo." Mr. Fujiyama realized that Ryo was still standing. "Oh, Ryo you can go ahead and sit down now." Ryo turned red and sat down. Ryo watched as Bakura lazily made his way to his seat and sat down. Ryo looked
back to his half finished homework
After class was dismissed Ryo made his way slowly out of the class room. He hadn't noticed that Bakura was following him until he said, "You don't talk much, do you?" Ryo kept his gaze to the floor. "Don't have much reason to." he whispered. Usagi and his gang walked up to Ryo and ripped his books out of his arms.
"Thanks for the homework, worm." Usagi said throwing Ryo's books on the ground. Ryo began to bend down to pick them when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't pick those up." Bakura said. Bakura walked up to Usagi "I believe you owe Ryo an apology." he said calmly.
"I don't owe him shit." Usagi spat.
"Pick up the books and apologize." Bakura said, "Last chance."
"Bakura don't" Ryo said bending over and picking up his things, "I'm not worth it."
"You see," Usagi said laughing. "The little worms got the right idea, now get the hell out of my way!" He pushed Bakura to the side and started down the hall. Bakura looked at Ryo "What was that about?"
"I'm not worth the trouble. He'll just start on you." Ryo said sadly.
"This is why those jerks treat you this way!" Bakura said angrily.
"I can handle it." Ryo said starting to walk towards his next class.
"Whatever you say." Bakura scoffed disgustedly "Just roll over like a dog."
