Chapter 3

New Friends and the Guy with the Cold Glare!

Dawn was the Battle Parade Champion. She was the reason a seventeen year old buy broke out into tears. She was the Spellcaster Master. She was known as fearless. But for some reason now she was scared. No scared was too strong of a word. She was nervous, very nervous in fact going to school was never really her thing, she much preferred dueling. Questions were swimming through her head like fish. Will they like me? Will I make friends? Will I make enemies? She hated standing in front of the class, all the eyes on her. Why won't the teacher just introduce me?

"Good morning class, as some of you may know we have a new student," No duh, Dawn thought, I've been standing here for ten minutes. Dawn looked over the class and got a good look at all the types of people. She could see spazzs, jocks, goths, emos, punks, the theature kids and then Dawn saw him. She gasped slightly, That guy he looks just like the guy from my dream last night, he had cold blue eyes that were glaring at Dawn and brown hair in a mullet. Dawn was feeling uncomfortable, Why is he looking at me like that, such a hard glare.

"So Dawn," the teacher said, "why don't you tell us a bit about yourself." Dawn didn't even hear her, she was beginning to get aggravated by the boy with the cold glare I don't even know him why is looking like that at me; she was glaring back at this point. "Umm Dawn."

"Oh right," she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly, "Like you know my name is Dawn Grey. I am from London, England,"

After that comment Dawn swore someone mumbled, "Hey just like Bakura."

"I am 16 years old. I really enjoy manga and anime, that is part of the reason I moved to Japan. Light blue is my favorite color and," she sends a distasteful look to her jacket, "Pink is my least favorite." This comment caused a few girls to gasp, but Dawn kept a smirk plastered on her face, "Oh and I love Duel Monsters," at this the whole class perked up and paid attention, Ha even Mr. Glarey pants is paying attention, "Actually I recently participated in the Battle Parade tournament and won."

Everyone's mouth went agape, "No way I knew her name sounded familiar," one girl exclaimed,

"Wow, so that must make her like a famous duelist Champion, so cool!"

"OMG! SQUEEEE"(I really wanted someone to say that )

"This is so cool, a real champion goes to our school!"

"Umm," Dawn started, "I didn't know card games were so important."

"You didn't," a boy with puffy blond hair exclaimed, "oh my-"

"Alright," the teacher demanded, "everyone quiet down," she turned to face Dawn, "Alright Dawn you may take a seat between Ryou Bakura and Katsuya Jonouchi," Oh Ryou, I better thank him for bringing my uniform over, but which one is Bakura? Well Ms. Reno said he was British, so that should give it away, "Now will you two please raise your hands so Dawn knows where to sit." Two hands shot up, one belonging to a boy with puffy blond hair and a cocky look to his eyes. The other belonged to a rather refined looking boy with long white hair and a sweet look to his eyes.

Dawn walked to her seat and sat in her desk. She was instantly attacked by the blond haired boy, "Hi, my names Katsuya Jonouchi, but you can just call me Jonouchi, everyone does. That's pretty cool how you're into duel monsters and how you won that tournament, I never knew girls were into that kind of stuff," Won't he shut up, he's beginning to get on my nerves. SHUT UP. "Hey you know what maybe you can come to my house later and we can practice and trade some duel monster tips and stuff."

Dawn was now pissed, "Yeah, I will go to your house," that earned a collective gasp from the class, Jonouchi looked excited, "Yeah, when I sprout wings and become a flying Kuriboh."

Nobody noticed the slight smirk from the brown haired billionaire.

"Nyeh," the blond exclaimed while falling headfirst to the ground, "but you don't even know me."

Dawn sighed, "Yeah that's exactly why I won't go to your house, for all I know you are some Pedo or closet otaku who spends all day reading and collecting Selfish Mr. Mermaid. (Selfish Mr. Mermaid is a Yaoi. Enough said, I didn't read it)

A girl with straight brown hair giggled at Jonouchi, who had turned bright red, and stuck her hand at Dawn, "Hi I'm Anzu and anyone who can make a comment like that has to be cool." She points to a short boy Is he really in High school? He had blond.. er… red… er black hair that was super spikey It bothers me when a boy spends more time on his hair than me. "That's Yugi."

"Hi there, it's nice to meet you. It's really cool how you won that tournament."

Next Anzu pointed to a boy with brown hair in a single point, yes a single point. It still bothers me I wonder if he's allowed to go on planes with his hair like that, it could be a weapon, "And that's Honda." He just nodded.

Suddenly a realization hit Dawn, "Oh," she turned to face the white haired boy, "You must be Ryou Bakura then, right?" He nodded and she smiled at him, "Thanks for bringing my stuff over, I would be totally lost without it."

He blushed slightly, while rubbing the back of his neck, "Oh it was nothing really, I have to go by Ms. Reno's Apartments anyway."

"Oh, really?" Dawn asked, "That's really cool, this way we can walk home together too."

Then Dawn noticed something, "Hey, Bakura?"

"Yeah Dawn,"

"Why is everyone playing Duel monsters instead of learning?"(Really why aren't they learning?"

"Oh, I really don't know," he responded.

"Really," Dawn said happily, "That's so cool," Japanese schools are so cool. I need to battle someone.

Just then Dawn hears a snort from behind her, "How can she be the Battle Parade Champion, she looks like a total loser."

"Yeah, I know," another male voice says, "I bet she couldn't beat Jonouchi, nonetheless the Battle Parade Champion, Leon Nigher."

Dawn was furious, she barked out a laugh. The boys stopped there laughing as she turned to face them. Her face was one of a person with AB blood type, being woken up. (It is not a pretty sight.) "You want to see my dueling talent?" When none of them responded she asked again, "Which one of you am I going to duel?"

A lanky boy with grey-blonde hair spoke up, "Lee you should battle her, I mean you are the leader of our group. And you were the one to start with the comments."

"Okay, I'll duel her and I'll beat her," a cruel looking boy with sharpe features came up to dawn. He had puke colored green hair that was a curly mess, "I'm Lee. Ha she seems weak, don't worry boy's she'll be crying after our battle."

"Hmph, we'll see who'll be crying. Let's begin."

"Okay OI go first," So much for ladies first, "one round, and we each begin with 2000 life points, got it?"

"Fine by me."

"Okay," Lee said, "I summon Man-eating treasure chest in attack mode. I also put a face down card down and end my turn."

"Okay my turn, I summon Sorcerer of the dead in attack mode. I also put a face down card and end my turn."

"Hmm is that all, maybe our champion isn't as good as we all thought. I summon Destroyer Golem in attack mode, and then I use my Man-eating treasure chest to attack your Sorcerer of the Dead." Her Sorcerer of the dead is destroyed and she loses 150 life points.

"On no," a bunch of kids exclaimed, "How could she let her defense get so weak?"

Lee was on cloud nine, "Okay I end my turn."

"Alright I summon a facedown card in defense mode and end my turn."

"Hmm okay I summon D. Human in attack mode. I also attack your face down with my man eating treasure chest."

Dawn laughs, "Everyone falls for this trick. You just attacked my Mystical elf, which has a defense of 2000 and your Man-eating treasure chest only has 1600 attack points so you lose 400 life points." Lee's Life points fell to 1600.

"I end my turn."

"Good," Dawn starts, "Cause this all ends now." A scared look enters Lee's face, Yeah you better be scared. To start I use the spell card Ookazi, which inflicts 800 points of Direct damage to your life points, leaving you with only 800 left. To end this game I reveal my face down, Just Desserts, which takes away 500 life points for each monster in your side of the field. I count three so you lose 1500 life points. Ha, you lose. The Spellcaster wins. This is over"

The whole class erupted into cheers, "I knew she would win! Good job Dawn!"

"Oh yeah Lee you go back to your little corner of Shame. Ha you better thin before challenging the Champion." Wow the way Jonouchi's going on abbot this you'd think he won. "Okay to Celebrate Dawn's Victory I say we all go out for pizza!"(Yeah I know very Japanese- ish I don't even know if they have pizza in Japan)

"Jonouchi you just want food," Anzu scolded.

Dawn just laughed , "That sounds great, I actually haven't eaten all day."

"Okay then it's settled all six of us will go to Luigi's(so original ^^) after school!" Jonouchi announced triumphantly.

"Oh me too?" Bakura asked.

"Of course," Yugi said, "You're one of our friends."

…

"Okay Dawn that is the old Library, and that's the arcade," the gang was currently showing Dawn around Domino. Then she stopped in front of a tall building.

"What's that building?" She asked.

"Oh," Yugi said, "That's the Kaiba Corp Building, it's owned by Seto Kaiba." Seto I've heard that name before… but where? "Actually Kaiba is in our class he's umm,"

"A Jerk," Jonouchi said.

"Cruel," Anzu added.

"And always glaring at people," Honda Finished.

"Ah," Dawn said, " pants with the mullet and ice blue eyes."

"Yup him. You better stay away from him Dawn.. He's evil." Jonouchi warned.

"Oh," Anzu said, "Luigi's is right up here."

The group arrived at a small building, with a sign that could of been from the 1960's with 'Luigi's' written on it. They walked inside and got a table. Dawn was sitting next to Bakura and Anzu. They talked slightly whole waiting for the food to come. Then warm pizza was placed in front of them. The cheese was steamy and for Dawn who hadn't eaten all day this was heaven. She ate in slices in silence. Everything was going well until the bill came. Well who would've guessed that four pizzas would cost 4,626.90 yen($60).

"We can just split the bill," Dawn got out her wallet but everyone yelled at her, "Not you Dawn what friends would we be if we made you pay for you own welcoming lunch."

"No, no, no I will help pay,"

Everyone looked uneasy, "Only if you want to Dawn."

You could almost see the dust come out of her wallet as the opened it, everyone sweatdropped, "On second thought do you thinkI could skip out on the bill?"

Although everyone laughed Dawn couldn't help but feel guilty. And she apologized profusely.

Aww god I really need to get a job. But what am I good at. Card games. What is a job I can get that has to do with card games all day. I don't know, but I better figure it out soon of I will be in deep do do.
