Chapter 3 First Day (part 1)

Kara walked down the steps leading to the kitchen in a daze, she was so tired that she forgot to conceal her millennium item, not that a sleepy Tristan noticed, "I'm going.. I'm going," he mumbled. He looked up and saw Kara looking at him funny, "oh I thought you were someone else." He blushed; Kara had not yet changed into her day clothes but was still wearing the oversized pyjama top that Tristan had lent her. "So where are you 'going'" she asked "school" he replied, it was Tristan's turn to look funny at her "they do have school in Egypt? Don't they?" "Yes." then it sunk in "hey where will I go!?" she panicked. "Please Tristan! Don't leave me here!" she choked, "hey, hey it's ok I wont" he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug "why are you so afraid to be alone?" he asked. They sat down on the table, Kara wiped her tears away "when I was little.. my big brother left me on the street.." She sniffled "he never came back. I was so scared." she whispered. Kara looked up at Tristan "ever since.I can't bear to be alone.I am afraid that they won't come back.." Tristan embraced her again, comforting her. "Tell you what. How about you come to school with me and we can get you enrolled, ok?" Tristan suggested Kara simply nodded " you are staying here in Domino City to live, right?" "I guess" Kara responded. "Ok then, you better go and get changed because I don't want to be too late ok?" he said, Kara looked at him kindly "thank you" she smiled. A few minutes later Kara was getting ready, she thought to her self 'that Tristan is so kind!' Hmm. I just met him and he offered me food, shelter and protection.' she frowned at her reflection and noticed her item glinting under her jacket, 'maybe I can tell him.nah later' she hid her item under her shirt. "Kara! We gotta go or we might as well as not go!" shouted Tristan from downstairs, "I'm coming I'm coming!!" Kara shouted back. She stole one last peek at the mirror, satisfied, she headed downstairs. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Hey Tristan! Buddy!" Joey called out. Tristan turned from showing Kara the cafeteria and called back "Oh, hey Joey!" "Where have you've been?" Joey asked "Oh I've been around" Tristan answered with a twinkle in his eye. When Kara and Tristan arrived at school, they were late very late. He explained to the office why, and they readily excused him. The enrolment process was a lot quicker than Kara had expected, and soon after she was being shown around the school. "Joey, I won't be around for lunch ok?" Tristan said, Joey looked at him suspiciously "Okay." Then the late bell rang "oh no! If I'm late again for Ghan's class I will get a detention!" Joey ran off cursing. Kara came back from investigating the cafeteria "did I miss anything?" she asked "nope." Tristan grinned at her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Yami was sitting in Ms. Min's class trying to pay attention to the lesson but his concentration was waning thin. Tea, Bakura and Joey sat behind him, whispering. 'They're whispering about me.I just know it' Yami thought irritated. 'Yugi's friends were never this difficult before.perhaps it is because I am controlling Yugi's body longer than usual.' A knocking on the class door interrupted his thoughts. Ms. Min paused her lesson and stepped out the door, Yami could here her high nasal voice pitch in surprise and delight. Tristan walked into the class and took his seat beside Yami. "Hey Yugi, you all right? You look kinda tired." "I'm fine, thanks" Yami replied. Ms. Min walked back into the class with a very beautiful girl. "Class" Ms. Min gushed "I would like to introduce you to Kara Montgomery, she transferred from Egypt!" All the boys looked at her with their jaws dropping on the floor, while all the girls looked at her with hatred seething out of their eyes. Yami looked up and when he saw Kara's face especially her eyes, he was bombarded with images. 'I know her!' Yami thought. She looked at him and smiled, her bright fuchsia eyes sparkling. Yami surprised, followed her with his gaze. She sat down next to Tristan "Hi Tristan." she looked over at Yami and then back at Tristan "umm. Your friend is looking at me odd." she said to Tristan under her breath. Tristan replied "Ya, well the whole class is looking at you odd, because." Tristan blushed "you are a very pretty girl." "Oh" she said. Yami could not get his eyes off of her; she caught his gaze with her now light blue eyes a few times and smiled back at him, when she did he blushed. 'I am acting like a lovesick teenager!' he thought 'you are a teenager' teased Yugi 'oh yeah, thanks for reminding me.' Yami replied dryly. Meanwhile Tea struggled trying to complete group work with a totally spaced out Joey. 'Ugh!' frustrated she took a look around the room, the other girls weren't having better luck either with the boys in their groups, a smile tugged at her lips and she looked over at the new girl 'poor thing, I'd hate to have that kind of attention constantly!' she thought. The bell rang; Tristan was showing Kara the exit when Yami caught up with them.
