I don't know if Augustus is Joey's middle.

I just made it up.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.


Joey carefully snuck out of the apartment quietly so he didn't walk up his dad. He was still a mess and was in worse pain then yesterday. He needed a braces for his right leg so he could walk. (It's under his pants and isn't noticeable.) He touched his left, bandaged cheek.

"I hope I wasn't cut to deep. I might have a permanent scar."

He walked to school. When he got there he met his friends by the lockers.

"Hi Joey," said Yugi.

"Hey Yug."

"Joey, what happened?" asked Tea, noticing his cheek.

"What this? Got in ta another fight."

"Must have been some fight. You don't look so good and you're limping a bit," said Tristan.

"You alright?" asked Bakura.

"Yeah. I'm great."

He gets his books for first period which was math. Entering class, the Blonde goes to his seat, but bumps into the one person he really didn't want to see. Seto Kaiba.

"Watch where you're going, mutt!" said Kaiba.

Normally Joey would have said something in return, but today he wasn't in the mood.

"Not today, Kaiba. Can ya try to piss me of tomorrow? I'm in to mood right now."

As he goes to his seat Kaiba blinked confused.

'Wheeler not getting riled up? What's up with that?' he wondered, taking his seat.

When the bell rang all the students huried to their seats. Mr. Konodis, the math teacher, entered the room.

"Good moring class," he said. "Today we'll be doing a review packet and I'll be passing back the tests you took last week."

He passed everyones tests. When Joey got his he quickly looked at the posted note and put it in his pocket. It was his reall grade, A+. He looked at the test. It said D-. Kaiba, who seat behind Joey, saw his grade and smirked. 'This'll get doggy boy mad.' He grabbed Joey's paper.

"Hey look everyone. Guess what Wheeler got. A D-." Everyone, but Joey's friends and Mr. Konodis, laughed.

Joey made a fist but reslesed. 'Why do I get mad? I know everything rich boy says isn't true. I'm not going to make a fool of myself.'

Kaiba scowled. 'What's wrong with Wheeler? Maybe this will steam him up.' "D-? He should have gotten a double F-. Am I right?" Everyone laughted harder.

'Relax, Joey, relax.'

"Mr. Kaiba, if you don't stop this I'll be seing you in detention!" said Mr. Konodis, angry.

"This is worth it!"

"Stop it, Kaiba," said Yugi.

"Yeah, Joey didn't do anything to you," said Duke.

"Why do you always have to be mean to him?" said Tea.

"He's a worthless dog. That's a good enough reason. I make fun of him, he gets mad, makes a fool of himself and I smirk at his foolishness. That's the only thing he's good for. Other than that, he useless."

Joey's eye twitched. Useless...That's what his dad called him. It seemed like everyone was putting him down. Well he had it. He stood up.

"What? Want to fight, mutt?"

"Yeah."

"Joey don't!" said Yugi.

"Just ignore him Joe. He's an ass," said Tristan.

"Stay out of this!" said Joey.

"Ooooooo. Down puppy. You'll get yourself in trouble."

"Whatever. I just want to end this."

"Alright." Kaiba pocked Joey's upper arm. He was bruised there so it hurt.

"Ahhh."

"What's wrong puppy?" He did it again. "Did that hurt?" He did it one more time. Then pushed him. That's when Joey snapped.

"THAT'S IT!!"

He punch Kaiba in the noise. It gushed out blood. Then Joey punched Kaiba in the stomach. Everyone moved the decks to they had room to fight. Everyone chanted "Fight!" as the went at it. Joey pushed Kaiba on his back and jumped on his stomach. Then he sat on him and punched him over and over and over. Kaiba spat out lots of blood.

"That's it Joey! Kick his ass!" said Tristan.

"Tristan!" said Tea.

"Joey, please stop!" said Yugi.

But Joey didn't stop. He kept at it. He picked Kaiba and started to beat him up harder. He kept punching and kicking. He even bit and few time and did worst stuff. He was slaughtering Kaiba. Joey finally stopped. Kaiba was on his stomach, coughing up blood and tears streamed down his cheeks. Joey grabbed him by the hair and pulled him up.

"Are you ever going give my your bullshit again!?" yelled Joey.

"NO!" screamed Kaiba.

"Good! Because I don't need you calling me names and making fun of my grades! I'M NOT A DOG!! And so what if you duel better than me and that you're rich! The only reason you're rich is because you inherited you step-father's money and business! I have to to make a living! Life isn't a bowl of cherries! I'm miserible and you're making everything worse! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! ALRIGHT!?"

"YES!"

"GOOD!"

Joey dropped him and kicked him one more time.

"Now who's beneath who?" Joey asked coldly.

He walked out of the room, leaving and broken Kaiba and shocked students and a shocked teacher. But Yugi the the others were more shocked. What was wrong with Joey? Something really bad must have happened for him to do all that to Kaiba.

"Joey?" said Yugi.
