When Video games Come to Life

Parings: Yam/Yugi, Some Yami/Anzu in the beginning (It's all part of the plan)

Notice: This story won't just jump into the action, it kind of prolongs, but hey, that's just how I write, sorry D: Now on with the story!

I was your average nerd. I loved gaming, I'm smart, and I even have the glasses! I lived with my grandfather at a game shop. My grandfather took me in when both of my parents' died in a horrible fire. I've been afraid of fire ever since.

I seemed to get picked on a lot at school. Since I'm shorter than the others, I made an easy target. I also have tri-colored hair, which sticks up in all directions, without me even trying! This was also a target for people to make fun of. The last thing was my smarts. I seemed to be the smartest kid in the class, which, of course, resulted into more bullying. My only friend seemed to be a student named Anzu.

Anzu had short brown hair and blue eyes. She tends to wear the front of her uniform unbuttoned a bit in the front to show the boys what she had to offer. I knew that she only used me for my homework answers, but still, she needed me alive for that, so she did protect me somewhat. Anzu and I seemed to go everywhere with each other, but half of the time, Anzu was just trying to pick up guys. I had learned to live with her ways, so I'm not that bothered when Anzu ran off to try to get a hot guy's number. The only reason I came alone was for the pity points she scored off me.

"Yugi, come on! Earth to Yugi!" I was snapped out of my train of thoughts by a familiar, irritated voice. I turned to be greeted by an annoyed Anzu.

"I've been trying to snap you out of your gaze for the past 20 minutes! Come on nerd; help me with my homework so we can go to the mall." Anzu explained, playing with a pencil she was supposed to be using to finish the math homework. I sighed, 'Why is she always so impatient?' I wondered, as I yet again, focused on the problem.

"Okay Anzu, the problem is: One worker can do a job in 50 minutes, the other can do it in 30 minutes. How long will it take for them together?"

Anzu stared at me with an annoyed expression.

"Right, I know that, but how the hell does one go about solving it?!"

"It's simple! First, it definitely won't take 40 minutes, since one person can do it in 30 minutes. So, it won't take longer than 30 minutes." I looked at Anzu and could tell that she was getting lost.

"Anyway, the problem is one worker can do the job in 50 minutes, and the other can do it in 30 minutes… Are you still with me?"

Anzu nodded her pencil at the ready.

"Good. So, every one minute, the first person can do 1/50 of the job and the second person does 1/30 of the job. Got that much?"

Anzu furrowed her brow, but nodded, writing everything down.

"Alright, so together, they can do 1/50+1/30=4/75 of the job in one minute."

"Wow nerd boy, hold up! I'm still trying to figure this out!" She exclaimed. I paused and blushed, embarrassed. My mind seemed to work things out faster than others. Anzu finally looked back up at me, indicating that I could continue.

"So together, they can finish the job in 1 divided by 4/75 minutes, which equals 18.75 minutes."

Anzu blinked a few times.

"You divide 75 by 4, and you get 18.75."

"Oh…"

"Yep, so there you go!"

"Huh? What do you mean? What's the answer?!"

"Anzu, the answer is 18.75 minutes…"

"I knew that! Stupid nerd…" She mumbled to herself and she wrote down the answer.

I smiled at myself. It felt good to be smart. Anzu slammed her textbook shirt and rearranged her shirt.

"Okay, little nerd boy, off to the mall!" She stated, grabbing me by my wrist. I sighed. She was probably going to meet up with her newest boyfriend, Yami Hakujōna. Now, what I thought was weird about this guy was the fact that he's 21 and we're 16, still in high school. I confronted Anzu what the oblivious problem, but she didn't see it as pedophilia; she saw it as "Oh-you-are-so-jealous-of-my-boyfriend-you-can't-have-him!"

Now, yes, I'm gay, but not openly! Why give the kids another target to make fun of? Anzu knew but thankfully kept her mouth shut; though she does keep trying to hook me up with her rebound guys.

'I need a better friend.' I thought as I was dragged through the mall. For some odd reason, this Yami person seemed to always want me to be there when he and Anzu met up.

'Can't say I blame him though; Anzu can be so annoying.' I laughed at that and was shot a glare by said girl.

"What's so funny?" She demanded. Quickly I looked around and spotted her beloved boyfriend, casually sitting at one of the cafés.

"That I can find your boyfriend better then you can!" I stated, matter-of-factly with a grin. She shoved past me and whistled.

"YAMI~! OVER HERE~!" Anzu exclaimed, waves her arms around just to emphases where we were. I mentally groaned. Thinking back on it, I realized that maybe that wasn't the worst day of my life. And just like the rest of those days, I took everything I had for granite.

So, here it is! ^^; R&R please! Let me know what you liked, hated, and ideas! Also let me know if you guys want me to continue! Bye bye for now~!
