(I don't know how Japanese's schools work so I'm making the school like an American school
Summer was over, and for some people that meant the end of their life. It was the first day of school at Domino High. Students were groaning from getting up so early, groaning because their books were so heavy. In general they were all just not happy to be there.
"Damn I can't believe summers over! I swear they shorten it every year!" Tristan yelled as him and his friends walked to his locker.
"You say that every year Tristan," Tea said getting annoyed. Yugi laughed as he listened to his friends argue. His other half Yami's, who had gotten his own body after the battle of ceremonies, attention was caught by someone else. Joey and his sister Serenity. Serenity moved out to Domino after the Battle City Tournament. Yugi looked over at Yami and saw him looking at the prettiest of the Wheeler's. Tristan also saw the two Wheeler's and his mood immediately changed when he also saw Serenity.
"Hey Joey…" Tristan said but paused. "Why the hell are you in such a good mood? it's the first day of school man."
"The puppy probably just learned to speak," Kaiba said as he walked passed Yugi and his friends with his trademark smirk on his face.
"Damn it Kaiba!" Joey yelled but when Kaiba was far enough away, Joey calmed down. "Not even Kaiba can ruin my good mood today."
"Why what's so special today?" Tristan asked.
"Haven't you been listening to us all summer?" Serenity asked smiling.
"Oh yeah, your cousin, um…Alex is moving out here right," Yami said looking at Serenity.
"Yeah, that's right," she said smiling.
"That's the cousin that you two are really close with right? You talk about this Alex all the time," Tea said.
"That's right. Alex is great, we use to play foot ball, go to the arcade, go to the beach all the time. Alex is the one who taught me how to surf," Joey said getting really excited.
"That's great, when does your cousin get here?" Yugi asked.
"Alex gets here on Friday. Serenity and I are going to help move them into their apartment. And then Alex starts school on Monday," Joey said.
"We should go to class before we're late," Serenity suggested. Everyone nodded and headed to their homeroom class. Everyone was in the same homeroom class, including Kaiba.
The mourning went by fast and soon it was lunch. Yugi and his friends always eat lunch in their homeroom class because they could just hang out with out the rest of the school bothering them. Joey and Yugi were playing a game of duel monsters when they heard the door open an shut. They thought it was the teacher since they had homeroom right after lunch. They heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor which made them think the teacher again.
"Well, well, well Joey, it looks like you still haven't learned how to use a comb," a female voice said from behind him. Joey turned and grinning ear to ear.
"Alex!" Joey and Serenity shouted at the same time while getting up and hugging their cousin.
"Alex is a girl!?" Tristan said in shock.
"Yeah Alex is a girl, didn't I mention that?" Joey said and gave her a bear hug.
"Joey can't breathe!" Alex said choking. Joey let go of her.
"Sorry. What are you doing here? Your not suppose to be here till Friday," Joey said pulling a chair from another desk so that Alex could sit down.
" Mom and I got here early. I wanted to surprise you and Serenity," Alex said tucking her knee length sweater and her jean skirt under her as she sat down while fixing her white tang top, with orange flowers on it. Her black café length boots was what they had heard when she walked in. Joey introduced everyone.
"Well your defiantly not a guy," Tristan said dumbfounded by how pretty she was.
"Last I checked I wasn't a guy," Alex said. Everyone laughed. "Why did you think I was a guy?"
"Joey said that you always played foot ball, went to the arcade, taught him how to surf . And he always said Alex, never she or he," Tristan said.
"Oups," Joey said. "I didn't even notice I did that." Alex started laughing.
"That's fine. But yes I do like to do all that. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm going to miss out on all the fun." She said and saw that they were dueling. "Did I interrupt a game?"
"No not really," Yugi said smiling.
"Can I play the winner?" Alex asked smiling.
"You duel too?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah, Joey and I have duels over the phone. And over web cams. It's fun," Alex said.
"Did you bring your deck?" Joey asked.
"You know I did," Alex said and reached into her purse and pulled out a little pouch with her deck in it.
"Ok you play winner," Joey said and him and Yugi went back to their duel. Alex watched them and Yami could tell she was studying how they both duel. Everyone jumped in surprise when the warning bell rang.
"Looks like that's my cue," Alex said smiling.
"Aw…. and I was winning too," Joey said whining.
"Actually he would have had you in three more moves," Alex said smiling. They all looked at her. Yugi checked the next three cards him and Joey would have drew and Alex was right, Yugi would have won in three moves. Alex smirked. "I got to go."
"We should hang out after school," Joey said.
"That sounds great, I'll you guys up," Alex said.
"Do you still drive that 1966 Mustang?" Joey asked.
"Yeah why?"
"Can we all fit," Joey asked.
" We can try," Alex said. "I'll see you guys later." She said and left the room.
"She's different," Tristan said.
"You have no idea," Joey and Serenity said at the same time.
Out in the hall Alex went to the office to pick up her books for when she would be starting next week. She left the office reading her schedule and her locker number and bumped into something, well someone.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't watching were I was going," Alex said, beginning to pick up her things as well as the young mans things.
"It's alright. It was an accident," the young man said helping her pick up the fallen books. They stood, with a pile of mixed up books in their arms. They started handing them back to each other, until a book of the mans caught Alex's attention.
"Your reading Brisingr?" Alex said excitedly.
"Yeah, I um really like dragons," he said as Alex handed him his book back.
"Chapter five is when it starts getting good," Alex said. He smiled and stuck his hand out so he could shake her hand.
"I'm Seto, and you are?"
"Alex," She said and took his hand and they shook hands.
"Do you need help finding your locker?" he asked smiling. \
"Sure," Alex said smiling and gave him the number of her locker.
"Its right by mine," he said and walked her to the locker. They got to the locker and Alex opened it and Seto took her books so that she could put them in. When she got to the last book her hand brushed against his, and something sparked in the both of them.
"Thank you Seto," Alex said and put a her lock on her locker. "Can I say something a little bold?"
"Sure."
"You have beautiful eyes," Alex said blushing and smiling. Seto smiled.
"Thank you. You have pretty smile," he said causing her to blush more, and her smile to grow.
"I guess I'll see you around." Alex said. Seto nodded and smiled.
"See you later then." He said watching Alex walk away and smiled. 'She doesn't know who I am. Maybe this can be a fresh start. I promised Mokuba I would change. Maybe she can help me.'
