Disclaimers: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters.
Chapter One: Enter Stacy Adams
Stacy Adams shuffled her feet and gazed at her nails as stood uncomfortably, not wanting to meet any eyes.
"Class, I would like to introduce to you a new transfer student. Please make her feel welcome." The teacher Ms. Ayano said. She outstretched a hand in a specific direction and said, "You may sit next to Yugi. Yugi raise your hand please." A boy with unusual black and purple spiked hair and golden bangs raised his hand. Stacy walked down the aisle and did a double take when she saw the boy's physical appearance. He looked exactly like the character Yugi Mutou from the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!. And what did the teacher call him? Yugi? She stood there, her mouth open and eyes wide. The boy's hair had the same unusual shape and color, the same black leather belt around his neck. The same amethyst-colored eyes. What the hell?
"Ms. Adams? Is there a problem?" Ms. Ayano asked her.
"N-no problem!" Stacy answered quickly and sat in her seat.
"Hey there!" The boy greeted smiling. Stacy returned the smile. She found the boy's resemblance to an anime character of one of her favorite shows a bit unnerving. She couldn't stop looking at his hair; she had never seen anyone's hair so… exotic-looking.
"Okay, so yesterday we were talking about how each paragraph in your essay has its own main idea and how they should all come together as a whole essay." Ms. Ayano spoke writing notes on the chalkboard. Stacy took out her notebook and began copying the notes. Soon the bell rang and everyone was packing their things. Stacy looked at her schedule; she had P.E. next. She groaned inwardly. P.E. was her worst subject; she loathed playing sports and exerting energy. Stacy stood from her desk and grabbed her pack.
"Do you need help getting to your next class?" A familiar voice asked. Stacy recognized the voice as the Yugi look-alike who also had the same name.
"Yeah, thanks. I have gym next." Yugi nodded his head. "Okay, that's on the last floor. Follow me." Stacy obeyed and followed Yugi out of the room.
"So Yugi… I'm sure you get a lot of comments on how you look like Yugi from the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!" Stacy said trying to sound nonchalant.
"Mm, I get it almost every day." Yugi answered.
"Every day? Doesn't it get annoying? I mean, I would start telling people 'So what's it to ya?'" Yugi chuckled and Stacy's face reddened.
"W-what's so funny?" she asked, peeved. Yugi chuckled some more before replying, "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you. It's just I don't really mind the comments. If anything I find them interesting; even strangers come up to me asking if this hair of mine is real, which it is by the way." Stacy giggled.
"Cool. That was going to be my next question." she said winking. They walked down a flight of stairs before hitting the last floor.
"The gym would be this way and then you would make a left and a right. There should be a huge sign in red that says gym over double doors."
"Okay, thank you!" Stacy said waving and hurrying away. Yugi waved back and watched as the girl disappeared around the corner.
As Stacy predicted gym was brutal. Today the class was playing volleyball and despite her protests and pleas the coach had her play, too. And boy did she suck at it! Every time the ball went her way she would slam the ball either into a teammate's head or somewhere way off bounds. Students would laugh and snicker every time she failed to spike or hit the ball correctly. And this went on for what appeared like forever.
The bell rang signaling class over. Stacy breathed an immense sigh of relief; finally this hell class was over! She ran into the girl's locker room and quickly changed out of her sweaty gym clothes and into her uniform. She exited the gym and looked around. Everyone was scurrying to their next class. Stacy's heart sank a little when she did not spot a certain young boy.
Stupid Stacy, you barely know the boy and he barely knows you! Why in the world would he be waiting for someone he just met and talked with for five minutes? Even so, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Stacy!" A voice called. Stacy gasped happily because she recognized the voice. She turned around and was not disappointed. Yugi dodged around two students and stopped in front of Stacy, his breath coming out short.
"Yugi!" Stacy returned smiling widely.
"I wanted to show you to your next class, if that's alright, of course." Yugi added quickly once he caught his breath.
"Thanks Yugi, that's really sweet of you, but you don't have to." Yugi shook his head.
"No, but I want to. What's your next class?"
"Latin." Stacy answered from memory.
"Really? I also have Latin next. Who's your teacher?" Stacy dug in her purse and pulled out a crumpled schedule. She looked at it and answered, "Mr. Luiz."
"Really? Then we both have another class together! Come on, Mr. Luiz's class is on the second floor."
"Oh, okay!" Stacy said stuffing the paper in her pack and running after Yugi.
