The Christmas holidays were over and it was time for Yugi to go back to school. He didn't like school but at least it was a distraction. He dug his uniform out of the wardrobe and found his bag under his bed. His deck sat on one of the shelves on the bookshelf. He put it together with Yami and brought it to school with him everyday. Yugi beat everyone with it. Today, it was staying on the shelf.

Yugi went down to the shop and put his key into the door. It was still freezing ouside. Yugi made his way to the park. There was a gate the other side and it was the shortest route to the school from his house. It wasn't his normal route to school. He always chose the longest route to school but that was when he wanted to be with Yami. Back then, he would've given up anything for Yami. Now was different. He was trying to avoid Yami.

Yugi made it to school in half the time it normally took him to get there. Anzu was by her locker. She looked surprised when she saw Yugi walk over to her.

"Hey Yugi. You're early," she said.

Yugi didn't say anything. He put his back against the locker beside Anzu's and stared straight in front of him.

"How was your Christmas?" asked Anzu.

Yugi burst into tears.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Anzu put her arms around Yugi and found a tissue.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Yugi nodded.

"But not here," he said.

Yugi and Anzu found an empty classroom. Not many people were in this part of the building. Yugi shut the door, not wanting anyone to hear. Anzu sat down at a desk. Yugi sat down beside her.

"It's Yami," he whispered.

"Is he ok?" asked Anzu.

"We broke up."

"Broke up?"
"Yeah. On Christmas day."

Yugi cried harder.

"Yugi, I'm so sorry."

Anzu pulled Yugi closer and wrapped her arms around him. He put his head onto her shoulder. He cried until the bell rang.
