Ok, here goes. This is in a few different people's point of view, instead of the way I usually write it. Thanks to all those who reviewed! I mean it.
Chapter 3: Can't get you out of my headxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Joey:
Mai is so pretty, so sweet. The graceful way she walks, that unique fashion sense... She has got to be the most perfect girl I have ever seen. She looks in my direction. Instantly, not being able to help it, I blush. I don't know why I keep doing that... I bet she doesn't even know that I'm alive... though she probably knows I'm staring at her. Again. How embarrassing is that??? Then again, I've been through worse.
School is interesting because of her. She lights up my life. On the flip side, school literally sucks because of that stupid, arrogant jerk. I can't help but hate him. It's not fair! He's better than me at dueling, more girls like him, he's richer... it's simply not fair!
I'm willing to stop complaining, if only...If only she notices me.Why can't I get you out of my head?

Mai:
I wonder why he keeps staring at me? Does he...like me? No, impossible. I've probably got something on the wrong way, or some smudge somewhere I don't know about. Even so, hasn't he heard that it's rude to stare? I guess I'll have to confront him about it later. If I do it now, the mathematics teacher will kill me.
The next lesson is Japanese. The teacher said some girl from the one of the lower classes is going to join us for that lesson... which is kind of strange. It's never been done before. I guess it's because the school can't afford to open a new class for one student alone...
Brinnggg! Well, that's the bell... I guess it's time for Japanese class. I wonder how the girl will be like? Well, my question will be answered soon, I guess...

Serenity:
I feel so nervous. How will they be like? This is my second day at school... My classmates are really nice. I feel a little uncomfortable, as the teacher walks with me. I've just adjusted to my new class, and now I have to adjust again...
"Class, this is Shizuka, " the teacher said in Japanese (using her Japanese name). Forty pairs of eyes scrutinized me. The teacher knew I did not want to be associated with my brother.I want to do this on my own.
While she might have seemed weak, inside was a strong girl who wanted to take control of her own life, and did not want more than the necessary amount of help.
Shyly, I smiled and said hello to all of them. Most of them looked decent enough, but a few of them looked well... like punks. I also saw the guy who angered Joey. Quite a few girls were not paying attention to the teacher but to him. Then of course I saw the Mai Valentine Joey is always talking about as well, in a different way from the way he speaks about Kaiba. She did look as pretty as he said.

Joey:
I still don't know why she doesn't want it known that I'm her brother. I could protect her but she doesn't want that. "Shizuka, will you please sit between Mai and Kaiba?The girl with blond hair and the boy with brown hair." asked the teacher. It wasn't so much of a question as an order.
"What the...?!" I began, but stopped before I said something... well... bad.. Do you have a problem, Jounouchi?" asked the teacher. Why couldn't she use my English name for once? I shook my head, wishing I had not promised my sister that I would keep my mouth shut about our relations to each other. This was going to be a long day.
Kaiba:
"Shizuka, will you please sit between Mai and Kaiba? The girl with blond hair and the boy with brown hair." said the teacher. I was surprised but didn't show it. After all, this was the only unoccupied seat.
I had wondered who she was but my private investigators were slow. Very slow. Well, here was a chance to find out. I hated myself for what I was about to do. I was about to toss a paper asking her when I saw Mai explaining something to her. If Mai Valentine got her nose in this, well... let's just say it wouldn't take a day for the entire school to know. I heard something about them going to the mall together. Perfect.
