Marik's POV

"..and these are the art classrooms. This one is ours." Bakura told him,gesturing to one of the many doors along the art corridor. "Sadly, all of us have to do art, even if you have the artistic talent of a duck like me,"

I couldnt stop a laugh from escaping my mouth before he could continue talking. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"I'm serious, I'm god awful at it." he continued.

"I can't wait for art class then, poking fun at your art skills should be more entertaining than listening to the teacher go on about some famous artist no one gives a damn about!" I smiled at him. Maybe I was actually going to make a friend, and on my first day too!

"If you go too far I won't hesitate to punch you." he said narrowing his eyes at me. Wow this guy changed his mood fast. One minute we're joking around the next he's threatening to punch me!

"Anyway," he continued, as though he didn't just threaten me "Those are all the classes we have. It's almost lunch now" he said glancing at the clock "We might as well head over there now."

I nodded and followed him as he walked his way to the cafeteria. It was then I was reminded of my hunger and to my embarrassment my stomach made a loud grumbling noise, begging for food. I forgot, I hadn't eaten breakfast today.

Bakura raised on eyebrow and smirked in amusement "Hungry?"

"Y-yeah I skipped breakfast this morning.." This guy smirks way too much. It kind of makes him look evil, and it makes me kind of uncomfortable.

He raised an eyebrow at my sudden behaviour change but didn't ask about it. Like he can talk about sudden changes thought. We where the first people to arrive to get our lunch, so we quickly got what we wanted and sat down at a table near the wall, out of the way of the others.

"This is where me and Ryou, my twin brother sit for lunch. I guess you can sit here too." he shrugged not seeming to care either way, before starting to devour his steak.

It was a disturbing sight to watch, I'll admit. He ate like his life depended on it. Bits of meat where flying off his plate and he didn't even pause for breath. I could only sit and watch, eyes wide with horror.

"Have you got a problem?" he asked after he swallowed the last piece of his steak. He raised his eyebrow waiting for me to snap out of my shocked state.

"Oh..uh...no, its nothing..." I said quietly. I started eating my salad, still slightly horrified at how this guy ate, when the bell rang.

I watched the room fill with hungry teenagers, all pushing each other out of the way trying to get severed first. From the way they were acting you'd swear they hadn't eaten in weeks. I seen Bakura's twin brother, Ryou, practically bounce over to the table after getting his food. He plopped himself into the seat next to Bakura and smiled up at me.

"Hey, you're Marik, the new student right?" He stuck out his hand for me to shake and I took it, throwing him my own smile "My name's Ryou, I'm Bakura's twin brother, as I'm sure you've already noticed!" He chuckled releasing his grip on my hand.

I liked Ryou, he seemed like a really nice guy. The complete opposite of Bakura really, now that I think about it. I looked at both of them, seeing that although they looked the same at first glance, there were some differences.

For starters, their facial expressions where nothing alike. While Bakura wore a constant scowl and smirk, Ryou always looked peaceful or happy. Bakura's hair was sticking out wildly, whereas Ryou's was neat, not a hair out of place. Bakura was also noticeably taller than Ryou, and his voice was deep and sharp compared to Ryou's soft gentle one.

"Done playing spot the difference?" Bakura snapped irritably when he noticed how Mariks gaze was darting between the two twins.

He felt his face heat up with embarrassment at having been called out, but didn't say anything.

Ryou decided to break the awkward atmosphe by asking how school was so far for me. He could tell from my instant change in facial expression how much I hated the idea of having to go here so much.

After some small talk with Ryou about school, he out of no where asked

"So Bakura, you and Marik are friends now?" He smiled at Bakura as though they had some inside joke between them.

He growled in response and snapped "I don't make friends, especially not with someone so feminine."

I felt insulted "Hey! I'm not feminine, I'm just sexy!" I pouted "Besides, I'd never be friends with you. You're attitude is horrible." I said narrowing my eyes at him.

He glared at me "At least I'm not a flaming homosexual." he said. That would have been offensive but I'm not gay.

"I'm not!" I raised my voice in anger "You probably just wish I was" I retorted.

"Hah!" he laughing "As if. And if you're not gay, then why do you wear jewellery and wear eye-liner?" He said gesturing to my earnings and necklace.

"It's common where I'm from. I guess its an old habit" I shrugged.

Ryou felt uncomfortable about the entire situation at first but then he laughed, interrupting me and Bakura's bickering

"What's up with you?" Bakura grumbled, confused at his brothers sudden outburst.

"You two!" he said still laughing "You're arguing like an old married couple!"

Bakura and I suddenly locked gazes and both of us looked away embarrassed. I felt a blush creeping to my face but quickly hid it by looking down, letting my hair fall over my face. Why was I even blushing? I was puzzled but didn't think further on it.

The rest of lunch passed quickly while we chatted about school, each of us taking turns to complain about life in general, and how unfair it was to use teenagers.

Bakura's POV

Finally, the day's over. I can go home and get as far away from this hell hole as I can manage. I got up from my desk to see Marik striding over to me in the corner of my view.

Great, what could he possibly want?

"Hey Bakura, I don't mean to be a bother or anything.." yes you do I thought silently to myself "..but I looked at the maths homework and I don't understand any of it. Ryou said you were really good at maths, so I was wondering if I could maybe go to your house and you could teach me?" He asked hopefully, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry but I'm going to be busy today." I lied. There was no way I was letting him come over to my house to annoy me further today.

"Ryou said you had nothing planned today" he replied back, still giving me puppy dog eyes. I glanced over at Ryou who was smirking at me. He really doesn't suit a smirk..it makes him look creepy. Why was he so determined to make me and Marik friends anyway?

"Well I have lots of homework to do, so yes, I will be busy" I lied again

"Bakura, we're in the same class. I know the only homework we have is maths." he replied teasingly, knowing he was winning the argument.

I groaned aloud before finally caving in. "Fine, I'll help you with your bloody maths homework.." I grumbled, rolling my eyes as he jumped up into the air cheering at his victory. He's like an annoying hyperactive child.

"So how do you normally get home?" He asked, eager to see my house.

"Me and Ryou normally walk home together but he's headed to the cinema with some friends," I bit back the jealously threatening to show in my voice, reminding myself I didn't need friends, especially not Yugi's bunch. Too friendly for my liking. "So I'm going to be walking home alone today. Well, was." he added at the end.

"We don't have to walk" he said smiling "I have a motorcycle!" he said proudly, eyes lighting up. He clearly loved the thing. Unfortunately I didn't like motorcycles. They seemed dangerous. It looks like if you make one wrong move, you'll go crashing to your death.

He shuddered at the images that made their way into his mind "uh, its fine, I'd rather walk."

"Oh come on! It'll be fun!" he said cheerfully, grabbing hold of my wrist to drag me outside to his metal machine of death and pain.

"N-no really, It's fine I'd rather walk. Better for your health." He silently cursed himself for stuttering, but Marik wouldn't back down.

"Well I can't just leave it here, can I?" He said, pouting.

"Yes, actually, you can." I knew my argument was hopeless though, he defiantly wasn't backing down.

"Please Bakura? I don't want to just leave it here. It would mean walking back here to get it later..." He looked up at me giving his best pouting look.

Damn him, he's so persistent. After a while of thinking I finally and reluctantly said "Fine." wow, I was doing pretty much everything he wanted. Normally I would have swore at him and just walked away. Was I getting soft? I looked at the Egyptian boy in front of me who was cheering at his victory. I guess we've become friends.

My first friend.

I couldn't help but feel a spreading happiness inside him but quickly squashed it. This was no time to be going soft. It wasn't Bakura like.

"Hop on Bakura!" Marik shouted happily, now sitting on his red motorcycle.

I suppressed the urge to groan.

"This was going to be a fun journey" he thought to himself sarcastically.
