A new year and a new school, A'isha makes her way down the front steps and pauses at the sidewalk to drawn a deep breath.
"Finally, a co-ed public school, no more psycho nuns running around threatening to smack me with a ruler for turning in work late. Oh and the boys! I wonder if they'll be cute!" she thinks to herself as she begins towards the high school.
As A'isha reaches the stoplight not more than a block from the school when a white limousine pulls up, thinking nothing of it at first she watches as the stretch-car proceeds to the high school. Slightly shocked A'isha wonders to herself, "Who on earth could possibly be rich or conceited enough to have a limo take them to school?"
Upon arriving at school A'isha skips up to the administrative building to get her class schedule, school I.D. card and locker number. On her way out the door she collides with another student, sending papers flying.
"Oh
my gosh, are you okay?" A'isha asks while hurriedly scrambling
about picking up the papers.
"Yeah,
I'll be okay. How bout you?" the girl replies.
"Oh
I'm fine, just a little bump thats all. If you dont mind my asking,
would you show me around?" A'isha says timidly.
"Of
course! Just let me take these to the principal."
"Okay,
thanks," she smiles.
The girl returns and leads A'isha off across the school campus to a large three-story building. Glancing at the slip of paper with A'isha's locker number she guilds her up the stairs to the second floor.
"My name is Tea Gardener, whats yours?" she asks.
"Im
A'isha Conway. I just transferred from Saint Lucys All Girls Private
School," A'isha answers.
"Oh
wow, it must be really different to come to a public school like
this," Tea says, finally stopping beside the locker listed on
the slip of paper.
"Kind
of, what would make it truly different would be to see some real boys
for once," A'isha laughs.
Not before the words left her lips did a small group boys turn the corner and begin walking towards you and Tea.
"Hey guys! Over here! I want y'all to meet someone!" Tea calls to the group.
In the center of the group stood a tall blonde and a short kid with spiky tri-colored hair, to the right of the spiky haired boy was another tall guy only he was a brunette, and to the left of the blonde was a boy of medium height sporting honest to God white hair.
"A'isha,
these are my friends," Tea says, beginning at the left she
introduces each of the boys, "Bakura, Joey, Yugi, and Tristian.
Guys this is A'isha, she just transferred from Saint Lucy's."
"Hi,
Im A'isha Conway," she says nearly blushing.
"Saint
Juicy's huh?" jokes the blonde named Joey as he eyes A'isha up and
down.
"Damn!"
exclaims Tristian.
"It's
nice to meet you Miss Conway," says Yugi.
"Hello
there, welcome to Domino High", Bakura adds.
Before A'isha can get another word in the bell rings and Tea scoots her off to her first class of the day, Stats. Walking into the classroom, the first thing to catch A'isha's eye is two boys standing between the rows of desks conversing. The taller of the two spies her and whispers to his companion whom in turn also turns to look at A'isha. As A'isha looks for a seat the tall boy and his companion approach her. "Well aren't we lucky, for the goddess Aphrodite herself has come to bless us with the presence of her beauty," smirks the shorter of the two as he looks A'isha over.
A'isha blushes at this comment and takes the seat next to Tea.
"Who
are those guys?" she asks Tea.
"Well,
the taller one with brown hair is Seto Kaiba, and the short one with
sandy blonde hair is Marik Ishtar," she explains.
Meanwhile class begins, and A'isha diligently take notes as the teacher explains the basics of what the class will be covering throughout the year. Almost as suddenly as class began the bell rings once more to signal the end of first period. Following Tea, she heads down stairs and into the science building. As she passes through the door A'isha notices a few familiar faces, Yugi, Joey and Marik are all sitting at the back of the classroom. Joey waves feverently at A'isha and Tea indicating for the girls to join them. As a refresher she supposes, the teacher splits the class up into teams of five and instructs everyone to find the temperature at which water condenses. Working along side Tea and the boys, A'isha finds the experiment to somewhat enjoyable and can't help but notice that they guys are giving her more attention than she had imagined. Trying to ignore the stares A'isha goes to check the temperature of the water but accidentally drops the thermometer, allowing it to fall to the floor and shatter into a million pieces. Unfortunately the school had not yet replaced their supply of mercury thermometers with the new red dye versions, so the everyone was to evacuate the building and the administration office called poison control. With nowhere else to go the five head towards the cafeteria for lunch. Yugi noticing A'isha looking put out puts his arm around her and says, "It's ok A'isha, its not your fault. The school should be using red dye thermometers, not mercury ones."
"Yeah,"
says Marik looking at A'isha with a kind of gentle and caring
expression.
"They're
both right, and look on the bright side, we get to go to lunch before
everyone else," says Joey cheerfully.
"Is
food all you ever think about?!" Tea inquires, playfully
punching Joey in the arm and taking him by surprise, which made
A'isha laugh a little.
The lunch bell sounds just as they sit down at a table outside. Tristian and Bakura find the group quickly and take their seats while Joey begins to regale them with what had happened in chemistry class. Bakura burst out in laughter, causing milk to shoot through his nose and shower Marik who hadnt moved out of the way soon enough.
"Sorry Marik, but it made me remember the time last year when Tristian mixed two unstable compounds and ended up covered in a thick green goo," Bakura explains laughing so hard his eyes start to tear.
