Chapter 2

Authors note:

Sorry for the wait,

But here it is!

Joey trudged to gym class,

"Why did we have a test . . . first class, and first day of the year?"

Yugi shrugged,

"Well at least we know he means business."

Joey pushed the change room door open and walked threw the group of guys with Yugi,

"Yah, but now I'm on his bad list, I just know I failed that test."

Yugi chuckled and took off his shirt and replaced it with another.

Joey threw his pants into a locker and put on some jogging pants.

"Let's just hope that our gym teacher is better."

Yugi laughed and followed Joey from the room.

Joey froze in the doorway of the change room.

Across the gym, stood Mai, in a pair of high riding shorts, and a small tank top.

Yugi walked around Joey and looked over to Tea,

"Common Joey, lets go talk to Tea."

He laughed as he ran over to her.

Tea, was conveniently standing with Tristain, Mai and Barkura.

"Hi Yugi!"

Tea laughed.

Mai took one glance behind Yugi and instantly went red with rage,

"Joey."

she growled.

"Mai."

Joey growled back.

Tristain looked back and forth between Joey and Mai, as did Yugi and Tea.

Suddenly a very loud booming voice echoed throughout the gym, making almost 100 students hold their ears in pain.

"GET IN LINE OF ALPHABETICAL ORDER!! NOW!"

Everyone jumped in surprise and ran around the gym, trying to get into alphabetical order.

It took a few minutes for everyone to get in line.

Joey looked to where the teacher was standing.

Mr. Vegeta looked sharply up at Joey and Mai as they groaned.

"Yes you two, I am the gym teacher, AND I WILL TEACH YOU ALL HOW TO USE YOUR ATHLETICNESS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!"

Everyone somehow knew that they shouldn't try and go against the teachers voice.

Mr. Vegeta started at the letter A, he read out the attendance, and every time someone was in the wrong spot, he would watch them do 5 laps around the large gym.

Mr. Vegeta finally finished and he walked into the center of the gym.

Everyone gulped when Mr. Vegeta's eyes fell over their body's, each could feel themselves being studied, and judged.

'good runner, bad at volleyball . . . bad runner, really good sprinter . . .very good at long distance running, but nothing else.'

Mr. Vegeta sighed in annoyance,

"Everyone run one lap around the gym, leave those doors, go to the top field, run that twice, run the bottom field 3 times, then run to the shopping mall and back!"

Everyone just stared at Mr. Vegeta for a few seconds.

Mr. Vegeta growled,

"An whoever can't do it will be punished after school by doing it again!"

Mr. Vegeta started to slowly walk to the gym doors,

"And whoever decides to cheat in anyway . . . will be punished."

With that he clapped his hands, and is on cue everyone started running as fast as they could.

* * *

Everyone got back at the very end of the class, all in one big group . . .what got a lot of people puzzled was that Mr. Vegeta was somehow able to run the whole thing and not even get short of breath.

Joey fell onto the grass outside after he had gotten changed and grabbed his lunch.

Everyone flopped down and groaned.

Mai walked over to them, "Common you whimps! Lets east!"

Joey didn't even take the effort to look at her,

"Why aren't you tiered?"

A deep familure voice boomed to his ears,

"Because unlike you, she knows how to run."

Everyone jumped up and stood tall, despite their tiredness.

Mr. Vegeta looked them all over,

"See you all next class."

He said in a sly voice.

Joey raised a brow,

"Next class?"

Mr. Vegeta smirked and kept walking to the school,

"Yes, it seems I have you all in every single one of my classes."

Mai sat down and pulled out an apple,

"Well he seems to like me you guy's."

She commented after the others had collapsed again.

* * *

Joey looked at Mai after school, she was sat beside him on a city bus, and everyone was going to the library to study.

Mai, looked out the window,

'I am not going to have him hate me the whole year . . .'

she decided.

Joey looked at Mai when she looked at him,

"Where do you live Joey?"

Joey looked at Mai suspiciously,

"In that house right there."

He said pointing to a house a few blocks ahead.

Mai looked at it,

"I live in that one across the street.

Joey watched Mai's house buzz by.

Tea leaned foreword,

"Hey, now you and Joey can walk to school in the morning, so I don't have to take the bus to see Joey!"

Joey growled,

"Of course, we should so that."

He said in a menacing tone.

* * *

After the library, Joey ran to the theater to see what was playing,

"Oh can we watch this movie!?"

he asked everyone.

Yugi looked up,

"Red Dragon? Yah, sure."

They all went into the ticket box.

Yugi walked in and sat down beside Tea.

Tristain and Barkura sat a few seats away from them.

Joey and Tea were forced to sit in a two seated spot because the theater was full.

Mai put her feet up on the back of the chair in front of her and tossed a few skittles in her mouth.

Joey growled madly,

'she's gonna ruin the movie.'

He told himself.

But instead, she was great.

Halfway through the movie, some kid a few seats ahead of them was talking, so they both started to throw skittles and popcorn at him and his friend.

Everyone walked out of the theater, it was 9:30 PM.

Joey waited for Everyone to get on the bus before he got on, and again he was seated with Mai.

The whole way home they talked, about dueling, about Kaiba, anything.

Yugi tapped on Joey's shoulder,

"Hey Joey, you have to get off at this stop."

He told them.

Joey looked at the road,

"I knew that!"

Mai looked at Yugi with a smile and stood up, following Joey from the bus.

Once they were off, Joey smiled,

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow."

Mai went wid eyed when Joey leaned foreword and kissed her cheek.

Joey widened his eyes as he realized what he did, and from the back of the bus he could see that all of his friends were starring at him.

"Oh crap."

He mumbled.
