Angel- Okay, so this is a bit shorter than the first chapter, but it also doesn't have a song, so that's why.

Yugi- I wanna sing!!!!!

Atem- Yeah me too!!!!

Angel- Oh be quiet you two. You can't sing all the time! Jeez, what do you think this is, some kind of cheesy Disney movie?

Atem and Yugi- Ummmmm, YES!?!?!?

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Paparazzi by Lady Gaga.

Chapter Two- Paparazzi (I'm your biggest Fan)

I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me Papa-Paparazzi

-Paparazzi, Lady Gaga

Atem was only half listening to his best friend's chatter about basketball and the upcoming championship game against their arch rival, the Dice High Sharks. While yes, Atem was pumped for the game and looking forward to kicking those preppy, fake players collective ass, it was 7:30 AM on the first day of school after Christmas break; He just wasn't conscious enough to care at this point. In fact, Atem was lucky that he hadn't gotten into an accident yet- his driving was leaving something to be desired.

"Atem! This is the third time you've circled the parking lot and passed about twenty spaces. Do you mind telling me what you're looking for?"

Atem jumped and glanced apologetically at his friend, Marik Ishtar. "Sorry, Marik. I'm just tired."

Marik gave Atem a panicked look. "No, no! That's not good! You can't be tired, you have to be awake, focused!" He barley waited for Atem to finish parking before he'd opened his door and walked around to Atem's side. "C'mon, you need coffee. With sugar."

Atem rolled his eyes and shoved Marik out of his way. "Practice isn't until three, Marik. I'll be awake by then."

Marik's protest was cut off by the squeals of delight as the cheerleaders spotted them. "OhMyGod, it's Atem and Marik!"

Atem plastered a smile on his face and waved at the skinny, short-skirted girls. What was with cheerleaders and their fascination with their uniforms, anyway? And furthermore, what was with their fascination with the basketball team? Didn't cheerleaders normally go for the football players?

One girl in particular, Rebecca, seemed to have a thing for Atem alone. She was always trying to flirt with him and constantly grabbing onto his arm like it was a lifeline.

"Hiiiiii, Atem!" Rebecca purred, dragging out the "hi" to make it about six syllables. It reminded Atem of something that Pegasus would do.

"Hey Rebecca," he said distractedly, trying to inconspicuously free his arm from her tentacles- oops, arms.

She wasn't giving up that easily though. "How was your break? Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas?"

"I don't celebrate Christmas," Atem lied, hoping to shake her off. "Really?" Rebecca asked. "That's such a coincidence, neither do I!"

Atem stared at her. Perhaps the girl had forgotten about the silver cross that was dangling from her neck.

Rebecca wasn't done yet. "Actually, I got a new piercing for Christmas." She smiled suggestively. "Want to see it?"

Atem shot Marik a look of absolute horror. "Help me!" he mouthed.

Marik ran over to stand behind Rebecca and covered her eyes with his hands. "Guess who?!?" he shouted into her ear.

"AH! Get off me!" She screamed, letting go of Atem's arm and flailing at Marik's hands. Atem took his chance and ran for it. "'Bye, Rebecca!" He called over his shoulder as Marik let go of Rebecca and took off after Atem. Neither boy stopped running until they were safely inside their homeroom. "You know," Marik said once he and Atem had caught their breath, "You should really give her a shot. I mean, I know that she's annoying as hell, but she's pretty cute."

Atem shrugged. "Nah, man. She's not my type."

Marik stared at him in disbelief. "Not your type? Are you crazy? What's not your type?"

Atem rolled his eyes for the second time that morning. If this was any indication, then today was going to be the worst day ever.

Yugi Moto had all the bad luck in the world today. First he'd forgotten to set his alarm, so now he was running behind schedule, and that meant that he was not going to get to school early- AKA before the football team- so avoiding confrontation was going to be difficult.

Currently, he was hiding behind a bush outside of school while he waited for Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood to go inside the building. Those two may have been ugly, scrawny losers (how they'd gotten on the football team was beyond Yugi), but Rex had a mean left hook, they were taller than Yugi was, and they didn't fight fair. Sure, Joey and Tristan always backed him up, but they couldn't guard Yugi 24/7. Plus, he hated seeing his friends get crap because they protected him.

Just as he thought his of friends, Yugi spotted Joey and Tristan walking inconspicuously toward him. At the last second they ducked down and hid with Yugi behind the shrubbery.

"Hey man, good ta see ya!" Joey whisper yelled, mock punching Yugi's arm. Yugi gave his friends a tight smile. "Sorry about this guys, I just…"

"It's okay, buddy," Tristan whispered. "We'll distract them for you. Go around to the back entrance, yeah? We'll see you at lunch."

Yugi nodded and his friends popped up. "I told you I didn't loose it back there!" Joey yelled, pretending to punch Tristan- or maybe not.

"Alright, man, chill!"

"Like hell!" Their voices were growing fainter, but Yugi was able to hear Joey yell- "Hey Weevil! What wild animal crawled onto your head and died?" Before he ran to the back entrance.

Yugi managed to duck and slink his way to the office to pick up his new schedule without incident and from there he didn't care who saw him. It was only the football team who really gave Yugi any trouble, the other students just didn't try to stop them.

As Yugi trudged into his homeroom, he heard a familiar voice coming from the front of the room.

"…don't know why they come after us anyway! I thought cheerleaders went for the football players."

"Dude, have you seen the football players? They're not cheerleader material; we are!"

He'd recognize the voice of the first speaker anywhere. It was Atem.

Seto Kaiba didn't even wait for the freshmen to move this time; instead he just barreled through them like they didn't even exist. Which, to him, they didn't.

He was only half listening to his twin sister, Tea, as she yammered about the auditions for the Winter Musical. He- and every other anybody in Domino High- already knew that they would get the lead role. After all, their mother had been a dancer/singer and their father was one of the greatest business men of all time. Pool that together in one genetic combo and you got the most ruthless actors in the whole school. They always got what they wanted.

Except the reunion of their parents. When Seto's mom had split, taking Tea and leaving him and their brother Mokuba behind, Seto and Tea had tried everything to make them get back together. But in the end, nothing had worked.

Seto was pulled out of his memory when his twin smacked him on the arm "Hello! Anybody home?!? I said, 'What time are the auditions?'!"

He took a deep breath and counted to five before he answered. "I told you that yesterday. It's at 3:15 in the auditorium."

Tea gave him a scathing look. "Well excuse me if I can't remember everything!"

Before Seto could retort, a member of the drama club came running up to the pair.

"Hi! Um, Tea, Seto….I-I just wanted to wish you guys good luck with your auditions." He'd barley even glanced in Seto's direction- this kid only had eyes for Tea.

Seto couldn't remember the boy's name- it was something like Aiden or Cayden. But he was defiantly part of the drama club.

Tea gave the boy a radiant smile. "Thank you so much for that!" The kid- Jaden- Seto recalled- looked like he was ready to burst with glee. Seto hid his grin. That kid had no idea what was coming to him.

"But we don't need it," Tea continued in a tone people normally reserved for explaining the obvious to a child. "You see, we know that we're going to get the part because we're the best. Luck has nothing to do with it."

Seto turned away from Jaden's heart broken face. "Come on, sis. Let's get out of here."

Once they turned the corner, Tea burst into a fit of manic giggles. "Ah, the paparazzi. Another day, another fan helplessly drawn to us." she crowed. Seto nodded in agreement and smirked. It was good to be famous.

I know what you're thinking. How are Yugi and Atem in the same class? Why do Tea and Seto have different last names? Or maybe you figured that out… anyway, all will be explained! Next chapter!!!!!!!!

Reviews make me happy. Er. Happier.
