Ugh. New Haven High School. NOT the high-school of choice, but of course, I'm sent here. Thank goodness I'm not alone…I guess. My friends, Arcana, Whisper, and Michelle are here too. Arcana's my crazy, psychotic twin…so we think. Whisper's just…er, Whisper. And you could say that Michelle is the normal one in our little group, but I'm not, because she's not either. So here we are, entering freshman orientation. How fun.
"Hey, Roxy! I see Nikki!" Arcana alerted me, punching me multiple times on the arm.
"Ouch! Can we do this with less punching?"
"…No." Well that's nice.
"How about the others? You know our other friends- the ones who hang with Nikki?" I asked.
…oh yeah I forgot to say they were here too- my bad.
"I didn't forget!" Arcana defended herself, pouting. I glanced at Whisper who shrugged. Great help she was.
"Hi Nikki!" Whisper and I waved as we caught her attention.
"Hey!" she called back.
"I'm glad we found her." Michelle said, finally talking "I was beginning to worry I was going to be stuck with y- I mean we would be the only ones from our school here."
"Nice save." Whisper muttered under her breath. I smirked as Nikki came over with the others.
"Nikki!" I yelped as she practically tackled me. I hugged her back.
The disappointment was clear in the others' eyes. For once I had claimed the coveted first hug. But of course, none of this mattered once they were given some attention.
"Hey Roxy, Arcana, Whisper, Michelle." Nikki said with a smile as she hugged the others one by one. We said hi to our friends that had approached with Nikki: Blake, Spencer, Heath and Grace. We hugged Grace as well; this time Whisper getting the first hug, resulting in epic pouting from the rest of us.
"I was beginning to think you left me out to dry." she stated, crossing her arms.
"Not at all~" I said with a smile, but on the inside I knew this was going to be the most boring year ever.
YUGI
"I'm still wondering why we're not at Domino High School." Joey muttered to me as we walked towards the high school we had to go to.
"Yami, I'm not really sure if I'm the main character or if you are…" I thought to him, concerned. We had been going on with this argument for the most part of our trip, and sadly, I wasn't listening to Joey.
"Shut up!" Yami snapped "Of course you're the main character. After all the show is called YUGI-Oh!"
"But you're the one with all the fan girls, and even Tea likes you more than me!" I replied truthfully.
"So what?" Yami stated "After all, I wouldn't be here if I couldn't possess your weak, fragile, and let's not forget short, body."Unfortunately, for the most part, it was true…except for the weak and fragile part, I resented that.
"But I feel so unimportant, I'm like as important as Ryou! And everyone knows he isn't even a main character!" I thought back.
"…That's not a bad thing." Yami said tartly "I mean NEVER say that- I have two reasons, one: You're not British and two: You don't drink tea." Yami said, obviously not wanting to state that, but having no other comparison.
For a second I felt like giggling. Unintentionally Yami had said that all unimportant people drank tea and were British. Of course, it wasn't that funny and my mind turned back to the conversation.
"You could've just said that at least I wasn't as bad as Tristan or Joey," I admitted "But anyways, thanks Yami, you're right, I feel better now!" I thought back happily
I turned to Joey who was glaring at me. I felt like something might've slipped my mind while I was talking to Yami. "What?" I asked.
"Um lemme see, ONE: I don't drink tea either, TWO: You weren't listening to me and THREE: I'm much better than Tristan!" Joey said angrily.
"What? I didn't say that…" I said sheepishly.
"Yeah right- you were talking out loud the whole time!" he said grumpily. Blood rushed up to my face as I realized I could've been. Yami's laughter reverberated inside my head.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked angrily.
If Yami could've shrugged, he would have, right now. "The thought didn't occur to me." He said simply. I sighed as we approached the auditorium- it was packed and poorly decorated if you ask me. Tables were placed everywhere as if it was a cafeteria and various foods and drinks were to the side. In the front of the room was a small stage. Guys and girls alike were chatting lively and laughing.
"Spssh, nice place." Yami said
"I think its okay." I said honestly
"…Okay," he said "this year seems eventful."
"Nice…" Joey said, looking at a girl passing by. Turning away from Joey, I averted my gaze to a random different place.
"NOT now." I muttered looking around for a table to sit at.
"Hey! Yugi! Joey!" a familiar voice...Tea!
"Tea!" Joey said waving back- Tea was smiling and Tristan was next to her.
We walked over to the table they sat at and Tea hugged both me and Joey while Tristan laughed and poked Joey with a joke he had told.
"Yugi, you're here," Tea said "I'm really glad." she said with a smile
"…Me too…" I said.
"Yo, Yugi short as ever I see." Tristan joked.
"Hey Tristan." I said
"You know- I think I saw Malik, Ryou and Kaiba somewhere…" he said, unsure.
"Really? Cool, we'll have to see later."
"Ryou is here? That can't be good; he may have the Millennium Ring! We must seize hi-!"
"Shut up, Yami! We'll do all your 'seizing' later, but for now, I'm at school." I argued with Yami, and just barely caught onto what Tea was saying now.
"Well we kinda have to talk later, but I'm still confused why we're here…" Tea said as a man walked up to a microphone on the stage I had seen earlier.
"Attention students…" Blah, blah, blah. This could be either the most boring or the most exciting year yet…
Roxy
"…Welcome to New Haven High School freshmen orientation!" The principal announced. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah- ugh.
The guys laughed as Heath made a hand puppet mimicking the principal talking. Grace and Nikki talked and rolled their eyes every few minutes. Arcana was joking around with Michelle and Whisper was standing idly by. I looked at my black sneakers, not knowing what else to do. I rubbed my head, adjusting my headband- which I occasionally add wolf ears to- and looked up as something- or someone- caught my attention.
No… I thought with disbelief.
The person who had caught my attention was a short boy with spiky, multicolored hair. Very spiky hair. I looked around, seeing if anyone else had noticed. There were two guys with him and a girl too. Whoa, this… was weird.
"Arcana…ARCANA!" I practically shouted as I got her attention.
"Huh, yeah?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Omygosh…I dunno how to tell you this but I swore I saw Yugi"
"Ohhh, you're not supposed to swear" Heath said.
"Shut up Heath." I snapped as I watched Arcana's eyes turn wide with surprise as she saw him too.
"." she said "It is them…or a really good cosplayer…never mind that doesn't exist." She said quickly with an afterthought.
"What?" Whisper asked; she hated being 'left out'.
"Look." I said pointing to the boy.
"No way..." Whisper breathed.
"Total yes way." I said with shock.
I have a feeling this will be an exciting year…
