"Shut up and let me think!" said Joey, who was currently panicking.

"I didn't know you had a brain to think with," I replied, but that only succeeded in making him angry on top of panicked.

"SHUT UP!"

"I doubt your yelling is going to open the door, Mutt."

"STOP CALLING ME A DOG!"

"I'll stop calling you a dog the day you stop acting like one."

"I AM NOT ACTING LIKE A DOG!"

"If you say so."

"Don't you even care that we're locked in the bathroom together!?" Joey asked incredulously, staring at me like I had gone insane. "We're not going to get out until tomorrow!"

"We're not going to stay here until tomorrow; I have my cell phone in my pocket," I told him calmly. Honestly, did he really not consider that I'd have a cell phone? And he wonders why I call him a dog.

"Hurry up and call someone, then!" he yelled at me, but at least he was beginning to calm down.

I rolled my eyes and reached into my pocket to grab my cell phone. Only, I was stuck grasping at nothing as I soon realized that my pocket was empty.

"… Fuck."

"What?" he asked, his voice back to panic mode.

"I don't have my phone."

There was a split second of calmness before the storm: "KAIBA, YOU SAID YOU HAD YOUR PHONE! YOU FUCKING LIAR!"

"I THOUGHT I HAD IT! NOW CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"

"OR WHAT!?"

"NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO GET IN A FIST FIGHT!"

"I THINK NOW IS A PERFECT TIME! WE'RE ALONE AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE JUST WANTED TO PUNCH YOUR FACE AND BREAK YOUR JAW!"

I've never seen this much anger from him – it's like he's turning into a monster. His hands were balled up into fists so tight that his knuckles were white, his eyes had a crazy, almost deranged look in them, and I feared that soon he'd break his teeth if he kept grinding them like that. I had to calm him down.

"COME ON, KAIBA. PUNCH ME! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE SCARED OF ME!"

"Fighting isn't going to help us get out of here!"

"I BET IT'LL MAKE YOU SHUT UP!"

"Why don't we both just be quiet? Your yelling is giving me a headache."

"MAKE ME!"

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR STUBBORNNESS!" I grabbed him by his shirt collar, pulled him closer, and then spoke to him as calmly as I could, considering he was now on my last nerve. "I don't have time to be locked in a room with you, I have work to do at my company. But I have no choice but to be locked in here with you because you're the one who said that you had something to tell me! You're the one who told me to go the restroom with you for privacy when we could've just waited a few seconds for everyone to leave! SO NOW WHY ARE YOU THE ONE YELLING AT ME WHEN IT ISN'T MY FAULT WE'RE IN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND –

My sentence was cut off by two lips pressing against mine. Since it surprised me, I didn't push away from the kiss. In fact, I did the exact opposite.

I kissed back.

After a few seconds, Joey pushed me away from him. Only he did it really roughly, so I fell to the floor

"You need to learn how to shut up," was all he said.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!" I yelled at him, holding a hand up to my mouth. "Are you on your period or something?!"

"I'm not I girl! I thought you were smart."

"Then are you bipolar? Because one minute you're yelling at me and the next you're kissing me! What the fuck!"

"So you didn't like the kiss?"

"Don't get off topic."

"So, you did like it." A satisfied grin resided on his face as he leaned against the restroom wall.

"I'm not answering that," I told him, fighting my desire to look away from him. "Let's just focus on getting out of here."

"You liked it," he repeated, grinning even more. "By the way, you know we're not getting out of here, right? Everyone left already and that door is too strong to break down. Yugi and the rest of them went to some place and I said I couldn't go. And no one's at my place, so no one's going to notice I'm missing. What about you?"

"I don't think Roland is working today, and since the rest of my employees are idiots I doubt they'll notice I'm gone."

"What about Mokuba? Isn't he going to notice?"

"He'll probably think I'm working late again or something."

"So, we're stuck in here until tomorrow," Joey said. I couldn't help but notice how calm he was now compared to a few moments ago.

~*~*Later*~*~

A growling sound was heard from Joey's stomach.

"Hungry?" I asked sarcastically.

"Naw, I'm sleepy," Joey replied sarcastically.

"I might have a granola bar in my school bag."

"You better not be lying like you did about the cell phone."

"I didn't lie; I left my cell phone in my locker." I looked in my school bag for a granola bar, and luckily I found two. That's right; I didn't have breakfast this morning so I brought two with me instead of one. Sure came in handy now.

"Here," I said, handing him one of the granola bars while keeping one for myself.

"Thanks."

"Are you cold? Because you're shivering."

"Ya, I'm cold."

"Get up then." I got up and waved my hands under that hand drying machine and it turned on.

"Thanks," Joey said before rubbing his hands under the machine.

"What did you want to tell me when you dragged me in here, anyways?" I finally asked. It's been bugging me for a while now.

"Um… nothing."

"I want to know what was so important that you just had to tell me," I insisted.

"It was something stupid."

"You always say something stupid."

He glared at me before sighing. "I, uh, needed help with… um… MATH! Ya, I needed some help with math."

… Does he really expect me to believe that? "And you couldn't ask Yugi for help?" I asked, "He understands it."

"Oh ya, I forgot about that."

"Sure, you forgot," I replied with an eye roll. "What did you really want to tell me?"

"Nothing. Hey let's just go to sleep."

"Might as well, there's nothing else to do anyways. I will find out what you wanted to tell me, though."

"Good luck with that."

"So, anyway why don't we just sleep by the door?"

"Ok, then."

So, we slept next to each other on the cold floor using our coats as pillows. Talk about comfort.

~*~*Even later*~*~

"Mutt, wake up," I almost yelled while violently shaking him. Dang, this guy is a heavy sleeper.

"No," he muttered, cuddling up even more on the floor.

"I think the door is unlocked."

"YES!" he screamed, all of a sudden becoming Mr. Energy. "Hurry up and open the door, then!"

"I have to take a piss."

"So, get up."

"You're in my way."

"Ugh!" the mutt exclaimed before standing up and getting out of my way. Once I'm on my feet, I walked over to one of the urinals and took a long piss.

"You're still peeing?!" he exclaimed after what probably seemed like an eternity to him.

"Don't talk to me while I'm peeing!"

When I was finally finished, I zipped up my pants and washed my hands.

"Do you always pee that much in the morning?"

"What is wrong with you, why are you asking me this?! Have you even checked if the door is open?"

"I forgot, hold on"

He turned the handle slowly. As if somehow that was going to help the chances of the door being open.

"I'M FREE!" Joey shouted. Everyone outside the door just looked at him before walking away.

I picked up our coats and school bags before shoving Joey out of the way walking away.

"Wait up!" Joey called, running to catch up to me.

"Here," I said, handing him his stuff.

"You're walking home?"

"Yes."

"Can you walk me home? I live on 60th and Main Street."

"Fine, it's on my way home, anyway."

Joey smiled and we started walking away from the school and to our homes.

It didn't take that long to get to Joey's house. Maybe an hour, but is seemed like less.

"So, um, thanks for walking me home."

"Whatever," I shrug his apology off. "So, what did you want to tell me yesterday before we got locked in?"

"Well, um… I just wanted to say… Um…"

He then pulled my shoulders down and kissed my cheek, leaving me shocked. He then whispered into my ear, "I just wanted to tell you that I like you… a lot." Before I could even respond to this, however, he ran inside his house, smiling at me just before he closed the door. Leaving me outside, and wondering what to do now.
