There You'll Be

Chapter One

BRRRRRRRRIIING! The school bell rang inside Domino High, telling the students that they had five minutes to get to their class rooms before the actual school day began. Yuugi reluctantly got up from the grass banks outside the high school and sighed. It was the first official day of summer, and the weather couldn't have been more beautiful! There was a light breeze, and the sun of out shining. Not a cloud in the sky, apart from the odd wisp of white and everything and everyone seemed to celebrating the first summer day. He breathed in deeply as he rose to his feet and started walking to his class room.

"Excuse me!" A female voice called behind him. "Excuse me!" It called again. Yuugi stopped and turned round to the sound of hastily approaching footsteps. He looked up and saw who the voice belonged to. A girl, or about his age, taller than he was.

Of course she'd be taller than you! Everyone's taller than you!

He thought to himself. He continued examining the panting girl who was kneeled in front of him. Her long dusty blonde hair was pulled into high bunches with a tiny bit of a fringe. The scrunchies which kept the bunches in were pink, to go with the Domino uniform obviously. Her eyes weren't exactly any colour. They were kind of blue, but also almost purple. So, kind of greyish-purplely-blue. She had a red gem around her neck on a black cord and a slim frame, he noticed as she stood.

"Thanks." she smiled. Her smile was grateful, and kind. "Sorry for yelling at you, but I'm new here, but I was wondering if you could tell me where class room... uhh..." she started rummaging through her pocket and found a piece of crumbled paper. "Class room D-87 is?"

"D-87? That's my class room." replied Yuugi. "I'm on my way there now."

"Really?" the girl smiled brightly. "Uh... could you show me where it is?"

"Sure. Follow me." said Yuugi taking the lead. She walked next to him, in to the building which was bustling with students. None of them seemed to notice her, they were all too engrossed in their own conversations, but she noticed every one of them. Taking in the new surroundings around her.

Yuugi stopped in front of a door with a sign out side of it. The girl stopped too and Yuugi walked in.

"Aren't you coming?" he asked.

"Oh? No. I have to wait for the teacher." the girl smiled again. Yuugi liked her smile.

"OK. Well, I'll probably see you when Miss. Beroniz gets here." Yuugi smiled up at her and walked over to his desk where his friends were already sitting.

A little later, Miss. Beroniz, a thirty-something, red headed teacher, was sitting at her desk, looking through some papers when there was knock at the door, and the principal walked in.

"Your new student, Miss. Beroniz." he smiled as the blonde girl from earlier walked in, with her eyes to the ground.

"Ah yes! I knew there was something I forgot!" Miss. Beroniz chuckled taking the girl by the shoulder and leading her in. No one else seemed to get her joke. "Thank you." she coughed and shut the door. She walked back to her desk and sat down. "Now dear, please, introduce yourself, and tell us a bit about yourself." she rested her head on her hands and smiled encouragingly. The girl coughed a little uneasily and scanned the room. She caught Yuugi's eye and smiled.

"I'm Faith. Faith Sironaki. I'm fifteen and I just transferred from... uh... Highdown." she began. "My father is an Egyptologist, and my mother is a model for hair... stuff...." she started fiddling nervously with a strand of hair from one of her own bunches and looked over at Miss. Beroniz. "I... uhh... like dogs. And shopping. And I own my own mutt called Daraco...." she paused. "I think that's about it." Miss. Beroniz stood and smiled.

"Thank you Faith. Now, if you'd go and sit next to..." she scanned the room. "Bakura! I'm sure he and his friends will look after you while you settle in." she pointed to an empty desk beside a white haired, brown eyed student. Faith nodded and walked up the gap between the other desks to her own and Miss. Beroniz started talking to the other students.

She sat down and opened her bag, taking out a pen and a pad she started scribbling something down when a note landed on her desk. She looked around before opening it, and seeing no one making eye contact with her, opened it.

'So your name is Faith then? Nice to meet you. I'm Yuugi Mutoh. I'll introduce you to my friends after this period, because we have a free one. Do you like Duel Monsters? Please reply.'

Was what was written there in an untidy blue scrawl. Faith smiled as she re-read it. She picked up her pen and scribbled something back.

'It's nice to meet you Yuugi. But it'll be nicer when I actually talk to you. Yeah! I love Duel Monsters! My favourite cards are the Feral Phoenix, the Change of Heart, the Dark Magician, the Flame Swordsman and the Magician of Faith! It has my name in is, so go figure! ^^ What about you? Write back. XxX'

She folded the paper up, wrote Yuugi's name on the front and threw it on to Bakura's desk. Bakura looked at it, and passed it onto Yuugi's desk behind him. Faith watched as it travelled to Yuugi's desk, and when it was safely in his possession started looking around at the other students.

There was one boy she noticed with brown hair in a bowl cut type shape and mean blue eyes. Another boy with brown hair, tanned skin and yellowish eyes. There was a blonde girl with purple-like eyes beyond him, next to her, a brown haired girl with blue eyes. There were a lot of students, but not really anyone who took her fancy.

Miss. Beroniz was just explaining the structure of a plant cell and the differences between animal and plant cells, when the class room door swung open, and a student stood there, leaning on one hip. His blonde hair was a mess, but he had a smirk set about his face. His jacket was open, his shirt un-tucked and he was basically, untidy! His brown eyes scanned across the room of shocked faces and landed over to Yuugi.

"Hey dere Yuug." the boy waved. His accent was thick, and sounded tough and mean, it didn't really seem to fit the boy since he was of a slim frame anyway. he walked in and let the door slam shut behind him. "Ok there teach?" he asked walking past Miss. Beroniz and sitting in his seat which was behind Faith with his feet up on the desk. Faith watched his every move and turned in her seat as he sat down.

"Mr. Wheeler?! What is your explanation for being so late?" Miss. Beroniz snapped storming over to his desk.

"I dunno... how's about... 'I was abducted by aliens, they shoved a silver probe up my ass, messed my insides around a bit, then let me out.'?" Joey smirked. The whole class erupted in sniggers, except Faith. She rolled her eyes and turned back to her desk.

"Mr. Wheeler!" Miss. Beroniz was practically steaming out of her ears. "Not only do you turn up late without giving an apology to me-"

"Sorry teach." Joey said with a simple wave of his hand.

"But you also disrupt my lesson, and expect to get away scott-free!" her voice seemed to have gone a particularly high and squeaky pitch.

"Like I said, I'm sorry." said Joey. He obviously didn't mean it. "But what are ya gonna do?"

"Oooo, I'll tell you, shall I Mr. Wheeler? We just-so-happen to have a new student today." Miss. Beroniz began leaning on Joey's desk. Faith turned her head slightly to hear better.

"And they were landed with dis class? An' you for a teacher? Poor kid." smirked Joey. Miss. Beroniz was wrestling to keep her anger inside.

"I was going to ask a good student like Bakura to take care of her-"

"It's a girl is it?" Miss. Beroniz drew her eyes in to thin slits and continued.

"But, I think to put a stop to your antics, you can take care of her." she finished sounding somewhat triumphant.

"WHAT?"

"WHAT??!!" both Joey and Faith stood up and yelled at Miss. Beroniz. Joey spotted Faith and cocked an eyebrow at her eyeing her over. He sat down calmly and rested his feet back on the desk.

"Sure thing, teach." Joey said with a cocky attitude.

"You can't be serious?! I don't want to be shown around this school by some..." Faith eyed Joey while struggling for words. "By some arrogant, self-centred, disgusting ignoramatic troglodyte!" she screeched. Miss. Beroniz looked at her and blinked.

"Cruel... but excellent word usage." she said and returned to her desk.

"Uh..." Faith stared after her, then at the rest of the class. They were all staring. "Yeah, yeah, it's not that interesting!" she muttered sliding down into her seat. She sat the rest of the lesson in silence. Something told her she was NOT going to like being shown around by Joey Wheeler!
