Some Notes:
Ooops, I made a mistake in the last chapter! I had Akiza throwing a loving look at Ushio (LOL) when she actually likes Crow in my version of the story right now. Geez, the love web I drew up is so complicated!! Also, I might keep misspelling Mikage's name as I am so used to spelling it as Minage (a combination of the English and Japanese versions.)
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy. I'll do my best ^.^ Want more? Please review! :)
Chapter 2:
Kiryu cursed, banging his head on the table. Carly had beaten him at cards for the fourth time that week. She grinned at him, head on one side, and Misty laughed, her dark hair shimmering in the light. "Kiryu-kun, you really are terrible at this, aren't you?" Misty teased, deliberately enraging him. "Just shut up, would you, Misty?" he bellowed, eyes slanted, frown deepening. But there was a softness in his eyes.
He didn't really mind being irritated by his two best friends. They were like family to him, ever since he had broken friends with Jack and Yusei. Mikage suddenly walked in, eyes red as if she had been crying. Ushio looked up, shocked, and the young cheerleader was suddenly surrounded by much of the class, all desperate to find out what was wrong. Before Mikage could reply, the door was rammed open and Jack Atlas stepped forward, blond hair glowing, poker face firmly intact.
Everybody went back to their seats- now it was obvious what had happened. Jack had broken up with Mikage. It didn't come as a surprise; the couple had been on the rocks for the last few weeks. But no one doubted that Mikage really did love him. Carly sighed, massaging her forehead- it was going to be a looong week. With Mikage newly depressed, Kiryu newly annoyed and Jack newly single, things were about to het up and lose control.
She returned to her seat next to Atlas, who now had his frown permanently stuck to his face. "Um... Atlas-san...?" Carly's voice trailed off as Jack glared at her. "What?" he sounded like he was yelling. Any one listening would have thought that the pair were arguing, but to be honest that was just how Jack sounded. "Why did you break up with Mikage? I mean, she's so upset... I thought you liked her?" Carly rambled out, squeaking slightly, breathing a sigh of relief when it was out her mouth finally.
"We weren't serious, Carly," he boomed, raising an eyebrow. Carly didn't like the way he used her first name as if she meant nothing. As if not being popular like him was some sort of crime. "That's Nagisa-san, thank you!" She said contemptuously, before lunging over and taking the pencil which Jack had borrowed off her and kept for 3 weeks. Jack smiled fondly without thinking about it. He had clearly made the young dark haired girl enraged and somehow it was humorous to him.
"Ill call you what I like, Carly." He said, stressing her name and taking back the pencil. Carly's eyes shot him a dangerous look. 'How dare he?!' "Stop being such a rude and ungracious little prince, Jack. Besides, why don't you just be polite for once?" Jack felt his smile upgrade into a grin as he tried to scowl but failed miserably. "Well, maybe I just happen to think you have a very pretty name, Nagisa-san." Carly bit back, "Well, I-"
Then she paused, realising what he had said. "Oh... um..." She looked up at Jack, her face earnest. "Forget it," she mumbled. Jack stared at her, wondering what to say. Then it all came tumbling out. "I'm in love with someone else," he admitted. "Oh!" Carly cried out in a little gasp, her hand on her mouth. "Save the theatrics, it's not exactly a state secret," Jack continued. Carly continued to gaze at him with those beautiful violet eyes. "Who?" she asked. Jack took a deep breath, about to seal his fate-
"Good morning class!" Professor Rudger barged into the room. 'Curses...' thought Jack. "Good morning, Professor Rudger," the class chorused in a bored tone. Yusei leaned over to Aki. "Did you do the homework?" She fumbled in her bag. The sheet was crumpled and dirty, but she could at least say that yes, she had. Yusei grumbled. He would obviously be the only one to face Professor Rudger's wrath.
Mikage stared up with swollen eyes at Carly, who was panicking like crazy, trying to find her homework. When Carly had tipped the entire contents of her bag out, and had not found said homework, she got really freaked out. Then Mikage felt a dagger in her heart. Jack gently picked up his homework and dropped it into the netball captain's lap. "Just take it," he muttered.
There was only one thing on Mikage's mind. Revenge...
