~*Yah, I know the works. Don't own any characters except my story. K then. One more thing, just so that nobody gets confused, Yugi is just your usual average kid and Yami is the dude he changes into when he duels*~
~*Chapter 1: A Schoolgirl Crush*~
Summer was finally over. July 17, the day everyone goes back to school. It seemed everything was back to normal. Just to the way it was. Joey and Tristan challenging each other in a fun card game of duel monsters, Yugi in the middle giving Joey a few pointers on how to beat Tristan and laughing playfully when Joey realized he made a mistake.
Meanwhile, Tea sat alone on her desk gazing at the view below her. Summer for her hasn't been the same. Sure, there was the Duelist Kingdom and the Battle City tournament. Unfortunately, it was also a time that Tea had done the impossible. She had fallen in love with Yugi. What made it more shocking was that Tea didn't have a crush on her friend Yugi alone, but the yami that rested within his millennium puzzle. Her eyes gazed at Yugi's millennium puzzle. For the longest time, she had wondered why or how had she started to develop a sudden crush on the pharaoh himself.
"Yo Tea!" Joey's voice broke into her thoughts sending Tea back into reality. She broke her gaze off Yugi's millennium puzzle before looking at her friend Joey.
"Hey Tea!" Joey called out once again. "Come watch me and Yugi duel. Winner has to buy lunches for all of us."
"Um…well…" Tea started to say but before she could continue, a loud male voice echoed throughout the class.
"All right everyone settle down." A tall, male teacher entered the classroom with a suitcase. "Put those dueling cards away. Yeah, yeah, I know. Most of you guys have been into the Duelist Kingdom with Pegasus and the Battle City tournament with Kaiba. But now that summer's over, let's go review some things."
"Jeez," Joey mumbled under his breath. "This guy's hard headed."
Time passed by quickly as school was over. Joey and Tristan did their daily routine of arguing with each other. Yugi just smiled at the two trying to separate the two best friends.
Tea, however, seemed to be so lost in thought that even the argument between Joey and Tristan didn't really bother her like it usually does. Yugi seemed to have noticed this as he stopped paying attention to Joey and Tristan's argument and slowly made his way towards her, gazing at her, his mind mixed with confusion and concern.
"Tea?" he softly called out her name, tugging on her sleeve. "Tea?"
"Huh?" Tea glanced down at Yugi, her face turned red for a second before calming herself down. "Oh…hey Yugi."
Are you feeling all right? You don't seem like your normal self. Even Joey and Tristan noticed that."
"I'm fine." Tea smiled nervously. "Thanks for asking."
"Well…" Yugi stuck his hands within his pockets. "The three of us are going to the video game store. Wanna come along?"
"No…it's ok Yugi. I…I…uh…just have many things to do at home."
"Oh…ok…" Yugi replied forcing a smile. But deep within, he was a bit disappointed that Tea didn't want to come along. Perhaps there really is something wrong with her.
