Mai-Mai (Chapter one: all over pizza)

Mai, Heather, and Tanya were sitting in the pizza place talking when suddenly Heather's mouth dropped. "Wow" she breathed, " That is the sexiest guy I have ever seen!" Heather was new in town and Mai really wanted to find her a good guy, so she turned around curious. "Oh god!!!!" she wwhispered,"It had to be Him didn't it!!!" She hid her head in her hands. "Please don't let him see me," she prayed. Tanya watched curiously as Mai started to blush furiously "God" she thought "its just Joey Wheeler". Lately Mai had been thinking a lot about him, his great sense of humor, His dazzling smile and Dimples, His Perfectly Messy blond Hair, and Those big soft brown eyes.Stop she silently screamed to herself, you cant fall for him, what would that do to your reputation!!!!!! Everyone wants me, but no one can have me, I'm not breaking my motto!!!!!"

Joey walked into the pizza shop very hungry. He had just lost another duel to Yugi and that always worked up his appetite. He ordered a piece of Pizza and a coke the looked for a place to sit. The place was packed; there were no empty tables. "Darn it" he said under his breath, that's when he noticed a blond head. "Mai?" he thought and couldn't help but grin. He walked over to their table. "Hey Mai-Mai!" he said giving her a dazzling grin "Mind if I sit with you guys?" When she didn't answer, he looked at her curiously and sat down.

"Oh god, he's seen us," She thought. Heather started chirping "ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh, he's coming over!!!!!!" He said something, but all she caught was Mai-Mai. When Tanya started sniggering she snapped back into reality very angry. She smacked Joey across the head "Don't call me that" she hissed. He just shrugged rubbing his head, she thought she saw him smile, but wasn't sure. "Wow, his hair is so soft." she thought then went back into her dream world.

"Wow she hit me hard, she must be in a bad mood" He thought. He continued eating his pizza and looked at her friends. One was staring at him with eyes as big as saucers that had a hungry look in her eyes, she kinda scared him but with Mai in her mood he definitely would not risk saying anything, he didn't need another smack. The other was looking at Mai with a curious look in her eyes. Joey followed her gaze and saw Mai looked kinda sick. Are you okay Mai-Mai?" He asked softly "Mai?" Before he knew what happened His face was stinging horribly and Mai was heading towards the bathroom, her normal friend following her. She looked like she was about to cry. He turned to the scary one to ask her name and heard her gasp. "What?" he asked. "She got you hard, There's and imprint of her hand on your face!"

Mai hadn't meant to slap, she had been deep in thought, and he scared her!!! She had been thinking about him more and more of late. She had been surprised when she felt his warm hand on her shoulder, but the hurt and shock in his innocent brown eyes had brought tears to her eyes. She had to hold them back though or Tanya would know. Suddenly Tanya started to snigger again "Mai-Mai." she laughed. This made Mai mad. In an instant she forgot all the kind things she was going to say to Joey as she stormed out of the bathroom.

Joey saw Mai coming over to the table took one look at her and decided now it was time to leave or there would be trouble. Even from a distance he could say the angry gleam in he eyes. "Bye Heather" He said quickly. "ohhhhhh bye Joey" she said romantically. He would have said something more but Mai was really close now. He felt her hand close on his arm and force him too look at her.

Mai was furious when she saw Joey and Heather talking. "I bet they are flirting" she thought "ooooooo, that Joey! Hadn't he called her Mai- Mai, didn't that make him her Joey" she couldn't believe she was thinking this. She didn't like him, She wouldn't like him, she couldn't like him. Could She? No, he would ruin her reputation and that was the most important thing right? She saw Joey try and make a hasty escape. "Ooooooo!!!! He knows me to well!!!!!" She grabbed his arm and turned him too face her. Her hand went to her mouth when she saw the side of his face. "My god" she thought "I didn't mean to hit him that hard!!!!" She examined the imprint of her hand on his face. " Joey." she breathed, "I'm so sorry" He smiled ruefully "It's okay Mai" He said, "I know I scared you". She frowned and ran her fingers over his cheek feeling his skin on fire. He winced and she drew away. " Wow that was an intimate moment" Mai thought blushing "Don't let it happen again!!!!" "Why'd ya go and wince, you fool!!" Joey thought, but out load "seeya at school Mai-Mai!" "Yeah seeya" she said. Then realizing he called her that ridiculous pet name again turned to yell at him again only too find he'd left. She returned to the table to find Heather with a look of complete happiness on her face making Mai feel a little guilty and Tanya once again giggling about Joey's name for her.
